David Gower, CEO and Chairman of Emerita Resources (TSX.V: EMO) (OTCQB: EMOTF), joins me to outline the key metrics and takeaways from the technical report on the updated Mineral Resource Estimate, along with improved gold recoveries from recent metallurgical testing at the wholly owned polymetallic Iberian West Project (IBW), located in southern Spain. We also get another update on the legal proceedings at the Aznalcóllar Project later in the conversation.   The Mineral Resource Estimate is based on 105,554 meters of drilling by the Company comprising 299 drill holes and is hosted in three volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits on the project; La Romanera (LR), La Infanta (LI), and the more recently delineated El Cura (EC) deposit (LR=169 holes totaling 70,344m; LI=91 holes totaling 20,975m; EC=39 holes totaling 14,235m). All three deposits remain open for further expansion by future drilling.   The IBW project is now reporting:   A Total Indicated MRE of 18.96 million tonnes grading 2.88% zinc, 1.42% lead, 0.5% copper, 66 g/t silver, and 1.28 g/t gold (8.44% ZnEq or 3.01% CuEq); A Total Inferred MRE of 6.80 million tonnes grading 3.25% zinc 1.50% lead, 0.73% copper, 56.3 g/t silver, and 0.77 g/t gold (8.72% ZnEq or 3.00% CuEq); The updated Mineral Resource Estimate achieves numerous improvements when compared to the previous May 23, 2023 MRE, which include a +35% increase in Total Indicated MRE tonnage and a +44% increase in Total Inferred MRE tonnage; There was also an increased gold metal content within the Total Indicated MRE from 629 Koz to 783 Koz, which is an increase of +154 Koz (+24%) with an increase in contained gold within the Total Inferred Resource from 137 Koz to 168 Koz or an increase of +31 Koz (+23%) gold, respectively;   Then on May 27th the Company announced that the CLEVR Process™ optimization for the La Romanera deposit is a post-flotation stage of metallurgical recovery that is being conducted at DUNDEE Sustainable Technologies' laboratories. A total of 18 optimization tests of the thermal treatment process (pyrolysis and thermal oxidation) were performed during this recent stage of testing.  The latest CLEVR Process™ results indicate an improved gold recovery of 81.5% for a 27% improvement relative to previously reported results (17% increase in gold recovery). This represents an important upgrade relative to the 64.1% gold recovery that was used for its most recent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) based on the available results at the time of estimation (see news release March 17, 2025).   El Cura is still being drilled with 4 rigs, and is located in between La Infanta and La Romanera, but more closely resembles La Romanera metallurgically, returning higher gold values along with the base metals. David walks us through how each of these 3 deposit areas plays into the larger development strategy, where the earlier stage mining decline at La Romanera can now drift through El Cura on the way to the development of La Infanta, bringing in El Cura in as a future economic driver much earlier in the mining sequence.  We discuss all the derisking work going on in the background building toward the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) later this year, as well as an update on the environmental permits anticipated to come in over the next couple months.   We wrap up with David sharing a bit more from the comments the Company made on June 2nd with respect to the announcement made on May 30, 2025 by the Minister of Energy and Mines of Andalucia, Mr. Jorge Paradela, that the Junta de Andalucia, through his ministry, has granted the exploitation license to Minera Los Frailes (“MLF”) to develop the Aznalcollar project.   Spanish independent legal counsel of Emerita has reassured the Company that this announcement will have no bearing on the outcome of the ongoing criminal trial related to the awarding of the Aznalcollar Public Tender.  We get another update on where things are at in the process within the courts, with the sentencing portion of the legal proceedings having commenced back on March 3rd.  The company is still awaiting further clarity on whether Emerita Resources will be awarded the high-grade polymetallic Aznalcóllar Project later this year, as the only other qualified bidder at the time.   If you have any follow up questions for David regarding Emerita Resources, then email those in to me at  Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Emerita Resources

In this episode, our Perth based Managing Consultant Susan Havlin chats with our Principal Consultant Jane Levett about some of the common misconceptions that crop up in resource estimation. From domaining to density to classification confidence - it's all on the table. If you've ever wondered why your model didn't quite hold up under scrutiny, or why 10x10 drilling doesn't automatically mean measured, this one's for you. If you're a resource geologist, investor, or anyone who's ever looked at a model and thought “is that really right?” - this one's worth a listen. In this episode:  Why domaining is still critical — and why software can't always do the thinking for you How over-relying on grade shells can send you down the wrong path The myth of “one density sample per domain” Why classification is about more than just drill spacing How ignoring geological controls can throw your whole model off What kriging metrics and estimation quality can (and can't) tell you Don't forget to Subscribe for more straight-talking episodes from the world of mining and geology.

David Baker CFO of Elemental Altus Royalties (TSX.V:ELE) (OTCQX:ELEMF), joins me to review a few different royalty partner project updates, development growth on tap in their portfolio of royalties, his take on the Q1 2025 financials and coming one-off payments, and looking ahead to future acquisitions.   We kick things off with recent announcement by Focus Minerals Limited (ASX: FML) reporting the sale of their Laverton assets in Western Australia, to A$5 billion Australian miner Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) for A$250 million. Elemental Altus holds an uncapped 2% gross revenue royalty over a significant portion of the project, and their management team is thrilled to see a senior producer taking over the project which can fast-track it back into production. Genesis Minerals noted in the announcement the clear potential for Laverton to supply open pit and underground ore to their operating 3 Mtpa Laverton mill approximately 30 km away, after conducting more infill and extensional drilling and internal scoping studies.   Next we pivoted over to the recent announcement by Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX: NST) reporting a maiden Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Estimate at the Hercules Discovery of 916,000 ounces of gold. This Hercules deposit is part of the South Kalgoorlie Operations ("SKO") in Western Australia, where Elemental Altus holds a A$10 per ounce production royalty.  In addition to the royalty, Elemental Altus also has a A$1 million Discovery Bonus over a significant portion of the project, for each new ore body with production and/or Reserves greater than 250,000 ounces of gold, so that will be an added one-off payment.   We also touched upon the recent news from Arizona Sonoran Copper Co. (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) where it was announced by the Company that they've appointed H&P Advisory Limited as its debt financial advisor for the Cactus Project, a copper cathode development project in Arizona. H&P will work closely with the management team to provide complete and proactive support in all aspects of the project financing process for the Project, acting as the primary interface with lenders.  It is expected that Arizona Sonoran may buy back a part of this royalty in a one-off payment later this year, but Elemental will still have good royalty exposure to this project, and it will supplement the copper payments coming in from their Caserones copper royalty down the road.   Turning to the financial strength of Elemental Altus, Dave highlighted with the roughly $20 million in cash on hand, the expected revenues over $30 million this year, a number of additional incoming $13-$15 million in one-off payments, and the $50 million credit facility on hand, that the company is in a great position to keep reviewing accretive acquisition transactions in the year to come.     If you have any follow up questions for Dave regarding Elemental Altus Royalties, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Elemental Altus Royalties at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to view recent news on the Elemental Altus Royalties website

DynaResource Inc CEO Rohan Hazelton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share operational and financial highlights for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, from the company's flagship San Jose de Gracia (SJG) Mine in Mexico's Sierra Madre Occidental gold belt. Hazelton reported a 12% decrease in operating expenses compared to Q1 2024, and a 16% drop versus Q4 2024, reflecting the positive impact of the company's ongoing mine optimization program. Among the most notable developments was the discovery of three new mineralized veins resulting from extensive development work. These veins can be rapidly integrated into the mine plan, offering near-term production upside in Q2 2025. A key milestone for the company was the filing of a Prefeasibility Study (PFS) Technical Report, which includes a maiden Mineral Reserve and updated Mineral Resource estimate for the SJG project. This formalization marks an important step forward, enabling DynaResource to expand its strategic planning and support further growth. Looking ahead, the company plans to launch a growth-focused exploration program, targeting resource expansion and delineation of new mineralized zones. Near-mine extension drilling is slated to begin in Q3 2025, with regional exploration to follow later in the year. The optimization efforts remain focused on increasing gold ore grades, boosting mill throughput, and enhancing recovery rates The San Pablo Sur, San Pablo, La Mochomera, and Tres Amigos zones will continue to be core contributors to production, with ongoing development in these areas designed to access additional high-grade ore zones. DynaResource appears well-positioned to capitalize on near-term production gains while laying the foundation for longer-term resource growth and operational scale at the SJG Mine. #proactiveinvestors #dynaresourceinc #otcqx #dynr #DynaResource #MiningStocks #JuniorGold #GoldExploration #PreciousMetals #RohanHazelton #MexicoMining #MiningUpdate #InvestorNews

John Miniotis, President and CEO and David O'Connor, Chief Geologist of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), join us to review the final batch of drill assays their Phase IV exploration program, returning higher grades over long mineralized intercepts from step-out drilling at the JAC Extension, at their wholly-owned Diablillos property in Salta Province, Argentina.    They are now moving towards an updated Resource Estimate in a few months, and going straight into the Phase V drill program.   These 15 holes that had assays released on April 29th and are part of the recently completed Phase IV exploration program comprised a total of 21,172 meters drilled across 106 holes.  These latest drill results from the JAC Extension zone continue to demonstrate multiple high-grade, near-surface silver intercepts beyond the current conceptual open pit limits.  These assays represent the final results from the successful Phase IV exploration campaign.   All Phase IV drill results will be incorporated into an updated Mineral Resource estimate, which remains on schedule for release in mid-2025.    Key highlights from the Latest Phase IV JAC Extension Drilling:   Hole DDH 25-001: 56.0 metres (“m”) at 107 g/t Ag, starting at 66 m down-hole depth, including 6.0 m at 181 g/t Ag. Hole DDH 25-002: 65.0 m at 162 g/t Ag, from 82 m depth, including 12.0 m at 405 g/t Ag. Hole DDH 25-005: 63.0 m at 139 g/t Ag, from 74 m depth, including 26.0 m at 244 g/t Ag. Hole DDH 25-006: 0 m at 89  g/t Ag, from 52 m depth, including 6.0 m at 200 g/t Ag. Hole DDH 25-007: 19.0 m at 147 g/t Ag, from 100 m depth. Hole DDH 25-012: 41.5 m at 160 g/t Ag, from 56 m depth, including 7.0 m at 399 g/t Ag Hole DDH 25-013: 36.0 m at 127 g/t Ag, from 125 m depth, including 3.0 m at 298 g/t Ag Hole DDH 25-015: 35.0 m at 91 g/t Ag, from 81 m depth, including 2.0 m at 385 g/t Ag Hole DDH 25-017: 43.0 m at 134 g/t Ag, from 100 m depth.   The Company remains very well-positioned to continue delivering exploration success, with a fully-funded Phase V drill campaign, already well-underway, targeting several high-priority zones across the Diablillos project.    In addition to the upcoming Resource Estimate, the Company is also moving along the permitting process, and doing other derisking work to prepare for their Definitive Feasibility Study in Q1 of 2026.     If you have any follow up questions for John or Dave regarding at AbraSilver, then please email us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of AbraSilver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit the AbraSilver website and read over the most recent news releases.

Mark Beyer and Mark Pownall discuss the week's news, including the Federal election campaign; Mineral Resources' resignations; VGW's regulatory scrap; and Hancock's $250m office plan.

The Aussie share market started strong but lost steam by the close, ending slightly lower and breaking its winning streak—despite upbeat economic data from China. Energy, mining, and healthcare stocks dragged the market down, while major banks and gold stocks lifted. On the flip side, Mineral Resources tumbled after two board resignations, and Rio Tinto dropped on weak quarterly results. Investors are eyeing key U.S. economic data and an interest rate decision from Canada tonight, while tomorrow’s Australian jobs report will be crucial in shaping expectations for a potential RBA rate cut in May.

David Gower, CEO and Chairman of Emerita Resources (TSX.V: EMO) (OTCQB: EMOTF), joins me to outline the key metrics and takeaways from the updated Mineral Resource Estimate announced on March 11th on the wholly owned polymetallic Iberian West Project (IBW), located in southern Spain. We also get an update on the legal proceedings at the Aznalcóllar Project later in the conversation.   The Mineral Resource Estimate is based on 105,554 meters of drilling by the Company comprising 299 drill holes and is hosted in three volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits on the project; La Romanera (LR), La Infanta (LI), and the more recently delineated El Cura (EC) deposit (LR=169 holes totaling 70,344m; LI=91 holes totaling 20,975m; EC=39 holes totaling 14,235m). All three deposits remain open for further expansion by future drilling. The IBW project is reporting:   A Total Indicated MRE of 18.96 million tonnes grading 2.88% zinc, 1.42% lead, 0.5% copper, 66 g/t silver, and 1.28 g/t gold (8.44% ZnEq or 3.01% CuEq); A Total Inferred MRE of 6.80 million tonnes grading 3.25% zinc 1.50% lead, 0.73% copper, 56.3 g/t silver, and 0.77 g/t gold (8.72% ZnEq or 3.00% CuEq); The updated Mineral Resource Estimate achieves numerous improvements when compared to the previous May 23, 2023 MRE, which include a +35% increase in Total Indicated MRE tonnage and a +44% increase in Total Inferred MRE tonnage; There was also an increased gold metal content within the Total Indicated MRE from 629 Koz to 783 Koz, which is an increase of +154 Koz (+24%) with a likewise increase in contained gold within the Total Inferred Resource from 137 Koz to 168 Koz or an increase of +31 Koz (+23%) gold, respectively;   El Cura is still being drilled with 4 rigs, and is located in between La Infanta and La Romanera, but more closely resembles La Romanera metallurgically, returning higher gold values along with the base metals. David walks us through how each of these 3 deposit areas plays into the larger development strategy, where the earlier stage mining decline at La Romanera can now drift through El Cura on the way to the development of La Infanta, bringing in El Cura in as a future economic driver much earlier in the mining sequence.  We discuss all the derisking work going on in the background building toward the PFS this year, as well as an update on the environmental permits anticipated to come in over the next couple months.   We wrap up getting an update on where things are in the courts, with the sentencing portion of the legal proceedings have commenced on March 3rd, furthering the clarity on whether Emerita Resources will be awarded the high-grade polymetallic Aznalcóllar Project later this year, as the only other qualified bidder at the time.   If you have any follow up questions for David regarding Emerita Resources, then email those in to me at  Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Emerita Resources

The Aussie market kicked off the week with strong gains, rising 0.7% on Monday, marking its second consecutive day of growth.

Jordan Roy-Byrne: Gold Is Breaking Out Against The Stock Market Gold and silver have been rallying for over a year now. Although with the recent stock market selloff, we're starting to see gold now break out against the stock market too.

Interview with Guy Goulet, CEO of Cerro de Pasco Resources Inc.Recording date: 2nd March 2025Cerro de Pasco Resources is on the cusp of an exciting new chapter as it advances its world-class silver-polymetallic project in central Peru.  With Excelsior Stockpile and Quiulacocha TSF, the company's flagship asset is a massive above-ground mineral stockpile the legacy of nearly 400 years of mining at one of Latin America's most prolific mineral camps. With over 430 million silver-equivalent ounces now confirmed, this remarkable resource is poised to vault CDPR into the ranks of major global silver producers.The most thrilling aspect of the Cerro de Pasco story is how rapidly the company can begin monetizing this vast stockpile. With material already at surface and permitting in place, CDPR benefits from an accelerated timeline and greatly reduced capital intensity compared to a traditional mining project. Cash flow from toll-milling operations could begin as early as 2024, with the potential to self-fund a larger stand-alone plant that would dramatically increase production and profitability.Cerro de Pasco also shines when it comes to cost structure. At an anticipated operating cost of just $10/tonne, the project is set to deliver robust margins through all phases of the commodity price cycle. Even with silver at multi-year lows, the stockpile would generate over $50/tonne of profit, translating to annual free cash flows well in excess of $100 million. And that's before factoring in the enormous upside potential from soaring gallium values.The recent discovery of significant gallium grades throughout the Cerro de Pasco stockpiles was a game-changer that few could have predicted. With demand for this critical tech metal skyrocketing and supply becoming ever-more precarious, CDPR now finds itself with a second crown jewel in addition to its elite silver resource. As the company unlocks the value of the gallium endowment in parallel with silver production, it's not hard to envision profits multiplying several-fold.It's difficult to overstate the positive impact that the Cerro de Pasco project will have on local communities and stakeholders. Reprocessing the stockpiles will create over 2000 desperately-needed jobs in an area of high unemployment, while generating sustainable revenues that can fund education and social development initiatives. Longer-term, the environmental remediation of the historic mine will leave a lasting legacy of a cleaner, safer, and more prosperous Cerro de Pasco for generations to come.Ultimately, CDPR represents a uniquely compelling opportunity that combines the best aspects of a large-scale silver producer with the growth potential of an earlier-stage exploration company. It's rare to find a world-class resource base that is already fully permitted and construction-ready, let alone one with such exceptional profit margins and a clear path to value creation. As the CDPR story reaches a wider audience in the months ahead, the company appears destined for a significant re-rating to align with the immense value of its asset base and growth potential.View Cerro de Pasco's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cerro-de-pasco-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Greenland hasn't had this much attention from America since the William Taft Administration. Rhetoric, and even a few congressional proposals, are flying over the prospect of the United States purchasing — or perhaps invading — the autonomous territory of Denmark. Strategic positioning and untapped mineral resources are the main drivers of the argument. The likelihood of such an action appears remote. The Inuit people, who make up the vast majority of the population, are more seriously focused on independence from the colonial power of Denmark and cooperative efforts to reduce the effects of climate change. We'll hear from elected leaders and other Greenland residents about the current political pressures. GUESTS Aaja Chemnitz (Inuk), Member of Danish Parliament representing Greenland Naaja Nathanielsen (Inuk), Minister of Business, Trade, Mineral Resources, Justice, and Gender Equality in the government of Greenland Parnuna Egede Dahl (Inuk), special advisor for Oceans North Kalaallit Nunaat
