Michael Rowley, President & CEO, of Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF), joins us to review the news out today announcing the completion of the 2025 exploration program, that the Company has engaged Mine Technical Services (“MTS”) to complete an updated NI 43-101-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Company's 100%-owned Stillwater West critical minerals project in Montana, USA.  Stillwater West hosts nickel, copper, cobalt, chromium, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, gold, and osmium – a unique mix of battery, alloy, and platinum group metals essential to clean energy, defense, and technology supply chains.   Mike explains that this new geological model and understanding of the Stillwater West Project through the lens of the South African Bushveld Complex as a parallel is so crucial to unlocking the value proposition of the Project and for future exploration targeting.  It is also quite constructive have  Dr. Danie Grobler, Vice President of Exploration, Albie Brits, Senior Geologist, provide different layers of input and collaboration with Tim Kuhl and the MTS team on the updated Stillwater resource estimate. Their extensive experience in Platreef-type geology and resource estimation is expected to provide significant value to the Project.   Highlights and upcoming catalysts:   The 2025 drill campaign is now complete, totaling 3,471m in eight holes, with all assays pending. The updated MRE will incorporate 14 drill holes totaling 5,781 meters (“m”) from the 2023 and 2025 programs, plus select historic holes not included in the current estimate. The updated Mineral Resource Estimate is expected in H1 2026 and will mark the next step in advancing Stillwater West as a potential large-scale source of ten minerals listed as critical in the U.S. The update will build on the January 25, 2023, Inferred Mineral Resource and results will support further technical studies and economic assessments. MTS has completed a site visit and is updating deposit models to incorporate new data, improved geologic domaining, geostatistics, and structural controls – leveraging insights from the Platreef district in South Africa. The work is being led by Mr. Timothy Kuhl (MTS) and Dr. Danie Grobler (Stillwater) who together previously worked with the late Dr. Harry Parker on the resource estimation and technical reports for Ivanhoe Mines' Platreef Mine.   We go on to discuss with Mike the challenges and opportunities in defining the large-scale polymetallic and critical mineral resources at Stillwater West; and why it has the attention of large major producers, like their strategic partner Glencore, along with attention from the US and Montana government. We discuss how the nickel, copper, and cobalt tie into the growing industry demands for battery metals, energy metals, and defense metals. Additionally, with platinum, palladium, rhodium, and gold all demonstrating strong recent market performance, Stillwater West offers significant leverage to these precious metals.     If you have any questions for Mike or the team at Stillwater Critical Minerals, then please email them into us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Stillwater Critical Minerals   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/ Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Argentina Lithium CEO Nikolaos Cacos joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil the company's first-ever Mineral Resource estimate for its Rincon West lithium brine project located in Salta Province, Argentina—a key step forward in advancing the company's lithium portfolio within the heart of the “Lithium Triangle.” The inaugural resource estimate, completed for the West Block properties—including the Villanoveño II and Rinconcita II mining concessions covering 2,931 hectares—marks a significant milestone for Argentina Lithium. The estimate excludes the Paso de Sico concessions to the north, which add another 3,742.9 hectares of prospective ground at the Rincon Salar, representing future upside for the project. The resource was defined through 14 exploration boreholes totaling 4,823.2 metres of diamond drilling and one production well extending 470 metres. Based on this work, the company reports: Measured and Indicated Resources: 0.15 km³ of brine averaging 296 mg/L lithium, equivalent to 238,000 tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE). Inferred Resources: 0.08 km³ of brine averaging 216 mg/L lithium, equivalent to 64,000 tonnes of LCE. Cacos emphasized that the results demonstrate Rincon West's potential as a scalable, high-quality lithium asset within one of the world's most prolific brine districts. “This maiden resource lays a solid foundation for our next phase of development as we work toward building a sustainable, high-value lithium operation capable of generating long-term returns,” he said. As the company moves ahead with Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) studies and evaluates advanced direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies, exploration teams will also target deeper drilling below the current resource boundary—where geologic data indicates open mineralization at depth and significant room for expansion. With a strong technical foundation and growing land position, Argentina Lithium is positioning Rincon West as a key contributor to Argentina's emerging lithium supply chain, supporting the accelerating global demand for electric vehicle and energy storage materials. #proactiveinvestors #argentinalithium&energycorp #tsxv #lit #otcqx #lilif #proactiveinvestors #argentinalithium&energycorp #tsxv #lit #otcqx #lilif

Coffee with Samso | Episode 212 | UWA Club, Crawley, Western Australia. Guest: Darren Cooke – CEO, FireFly Metals Ltd (ASX: FFM) Introduction In this episode of Coffee with Samso, we continue our Exploration Discovery Series with one of the most fascinating stories to come out of Western Australia's goldfields — the Pegasus gold discovery. This story is special. Not because Pegasus was a greenfields success, but precisely because it wasn't. It was hiding in plain sight — within the Swiss cheese of decades of drilling in the Kundana gold camp. In 2014, Pegasus was recognised as one of the most significant discoveries of the decade. At the time of its unveiling, the project hosted a resource of 2.1 million tonnes at 11.4 g/t Au, containing approximately 763,000 ounces of gold. Northern Star Resources (ASX: NST) would later prove what Bill Beament said at the time — that this would be a million-ounce deposit just 350 metres from their Rubicon mine. To unpack this milestone discovery, I spoke with Darren Cooke, CEO of FireFly Metals and the former geology and long-term planning manager for Barrick at Kundana during the Pegasus discovery years. This conversation isn't just a walk down memory lane. It's a technical, strategic, and cultural deep dive into how great discoveries can be made in places everyone thinks they already know. Chapters 00:00 Start 02:39 Introduction 04:03 Introduction to Darren Cooke. 04:54 The early days of the Discovery - Pre 2011 07:11 The Unlocking of the Historical Dataset - 2011 to 2012 08:32 The Duration of the Work to "work" the data. 9:45 What was the structural concept? 10:47 Was the narrow mineralisation of Kundana the key to thinking differently? 11:58 With hindsight, was Pegasus easy to define/discover? 12:38 The double plunging mineralisation is the thinking that helped other discoveries? 13:48 Well Drilled Does Not Mean Well Explored - Quality of Data 14:46 Time is required to understand historical data 15:42 Geological Models are only a good guide. 16:58 How much confidence did Management know about the Pegasus potential? 18:43 The Northern Star "Thinking". 22:15 Was Anton Billis a good JV partner? 23:11 Was the purchase price of AUD $75M cheap? 24:25 Was there something that could have made Pegasus not a discussion? 25:52 Is there more discoveries left to discover from "Brownfield" projects? 27:10 Is there another Pegasus still out there like a Never Never? 28:16 A different view to a Brownfield project? 29:41 Brownfield projects should be more about a Brownfield new discovery not a reintroduction of the old concepts. 31:08 A Mineral System Is Always More Than One Success. 32:30 The FireFly Story. (Take out the bit I said about "Dont spoil the Story" 34:00 Is Northern Star the new generation of Western Mining in terms of quality work. 35:38 The skillset required in developing a Mining of Mineral Resources 36:59 The culture DNA of Northern Star. 37:45 Words of Wisdom to the new generation of geologists. 39:14 A Special DNA to Find the Solution. 40:29 Darren last Words 40:56 Conclusion Setting the Scene – Kundana in the 2000s - The Pegasus Gold Discovery The Kundana Province is no stranger to gold. By the early 2000s, it was already a 10Moz gold camp. The ground around Pegasus was peppered with drill holes — hundreds of them — yet the discovery remained elusive. In 2005, Placer Dome drilled the first hole into what would later become Pegasus. But they walked away. Fast-forward to 2011–2012, a new team at Barrick re-examined the data. What followed wasn't a stroke of luck but a combination of fresh geological thinking, technical persistence, and the right mindset to challenge old assumptions. "It wasn't that Pegasus wasn't drilled. It was that no one had looked at the data differently. We just saw what others missed." – Darren Cooke Unlocking the Historical Dataset (2011–2012) When Darren stepped into the Barrick geology and planning role, the first thing the team did was dig through the database — not for something new, but for something overlooked. 100+ drill holes were already in the area. Most were shallow and targeted under a subvertical plunge model. Hits were dismissed because follow-up holes below were barren. No one questioned whether the plunge direction was wrong. Darren's team challenged the model. By recognising a double-plunging shoot orientation, they unlocked a structure that others had effectively drilled around. "It was a classic case of model bias. Everyone was fitting data to the model rather than re-examining the model itself." The Turning Point – Geological Insight Meets Practical Pressure Pegasus wasn't just a technical story. It was also a story about operational necessity. The Barrick Kundana team was running out of ore. The long-term planning and geology groups collaborated closely to rethink their targeting strategy. It was this internal pressure that drove them to rework the historical data. The double plunge model that emerged: Explained the original hit and subsequent misses. Predicted mineralisation at depth offset from previous holes. Led to rapid resource definition once drilling resumed. The result: a million-ounce gold system hiding between existing infrastructure and old drill collars. "Well Drilled" Does Not Mean "Well Explored" One of the most powerful takeaways from this conversation is the difference between density of drilling and quality of exploration. "Well drilled doesn't mean well explored. You can have a pin cushion of holes and still miss the prize." This statement resonates across WA discoveries: Hemi sat beside 1.4Moz of known gold. Never Never was hidden in existing data. Pegasus was 350m from Rubicon and hiding in plain sight. Brownfields areas are full of opportunity, but only for those willing to break models and reframe the geological story. From Discovery to Development – The Northern Star Effect In 2014, Barrick sold the Kundana assets to Northern Star Resources for $75 million. Barrick described the assets as "high-cost, short-life." Northern Star saw the opposite: long-life, company-making assets. The cultural difference was stark: Within weeks, Northern Star doubled drill rigs at Pegasus. Approved an underground decline for drilling access. Backed the geological team to prove the model quickly. "Every mine has its right size owner. For Barrick, Pegasus was peripheral. For Northern Star, it was core." The entrepreneurial mining mindset turned geological opportunity into economic reality. Brownfields Discovery – A Playbook for the Future The Pegasus story mirrors many of WA's recent major discoveries. It shows:

Recorded on September 30th:  Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins me to discuss the updated mineral resource estimate, based on only the M&I conversion drilling for its 100% owned Tonopah West project located in West-Central Nevada, United States.   We then get into all the expansion drilling that has just been completed, with many assays still pending, that will be building towards the upcoming expanded resource estimate in Q1 2026, and then followed by an updated PEA.   HIGHLIGHTS:   The Updated MRE contains a total of 0.107 million ounces ("Mozs") of gold ("Au") and 9.5Mozs of silver ("Ag"), or 21.1Mozs of silver equivalent ("AgEq") of indicated mineral resources, and 0.47 Mozs of Au and 35.5Mozs of Ag, or 86.88Mozs of AgEq of inferred mineral resources. Indicated mineral resources were not previously included in the mineral resource estimate for Tonopah West effective August 25, 2024, highlighting how Blackrock's recent in-fill drilling program (the "M&I Conversion Program") at Tonopah West which commenced in mid-July 2024 has confirmed previous inferred mineral resource estimates and improved geologic confidence in the mineral resource estimate on the Project. At a 180 grams per tonne ("g/t") AgEq cutoff, the average block-diluted grade of the indicated mineral resources is 493 g/t AgEq and the average block-diluted grade of the inferred mineral resources is 525.9 g/t AgEq. The Updated MRE includes 83 new drillholes completed in 2024-2025 and is based on a refined geologic model which was updated to reflect the new drilling and added more detail to the spatial distribution of mineralized veins. Silver and gold mineralization at Tonopah West remains open to the northwest, east and internally between the main bodies of mineralization, and at depth.     We then shifted over to the additional resource expansion exploration program at Tonopah West, where drilling commenced in September 2024, and targeted expansion potential along a one-kilometer northwest trend between the Denver-Paymaster and Bermuda-Merten vein groups (“DPB”) south resource area and the Northwest (NW) Step Out resource area. There will be a second expanded resource update in Q1 next year that incorporates all the expansion drilling towards the NorthWest Step Out, and the Eastern Expansion area off DPB South towards the Ohio mine area.   After that resource has been released, then all of that data, combined with recent hydrology work, permitting work, and other derisking will be factored into an updated PEA next year.   We wrap up discussing the financial health of the company due to the early exercise of warrants, bringing in around $5Million dollars into the company's treasury.  Now that the market has seen the continuity of the mineralization holding together better than many had modeled in the recent M&I resource estimate update, in conjunction with the anticipation of how higher silver and gold prices will positively impact the economics of the project, more warrants are being exercised early to position for the coming catalysts on tap over the next 2 quarters.       If you have any follow up questions for Andrew regarding Blackrock Silver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is shareholder of Blackrock Silver at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to visit the Blackrock Silver website to read over the recent news we discussed.

John Miniotis, President and CEO and David O'Connor, Chief Geologist of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), join me to review the next batch of silver and gold drill assays returned on September 30th, from the ongoing Phase V exploration program; which is focused on the Oculto East and JAC zones at their wholly-owned Diablillos property in Salta Province, Argentina.    These 6 drill holes continue to expand oxide-hosted gold mineralization to the east of the Oculto deposit and oxide silver mineralization within the JAC zone, highlighting the continued strong exploration upside potential across the Diablillos system.   Oculto East: Numerous broad zones of continuous gold mineralization intercepted, including: DDH 25-066: 1.0 metre ("m") with bonanza grades of 108.9 g/t gold from 288 m downhole, as well as 18.0 m at 0.97 g/t gold from 353 m DDH 25-069: 24.0 m grading 1.02 g/t gold from 243 m DDH 25-071: 33.0 m grading 0.42 g/t gold from 69 m DDH 25-072: 140.0 m grading 0.57 g/t gold from 262 m, including 8.0 m at 2.60 g/t gold from 338 m   JAC: Strong near-surface silver mineralization continues to expand the Mineral Resource potential, including: DDH 25-053: 29.0 m at 65 g/t silver from 85 m, including 7.0 m at 108 g/t silver DDH 25-058: 32.0 m at 100 g/t silver from 58 m, including 2.0 m at 400 g/t silver John pointed out that these latest drill assays highlight the strong continuity of wide gold zones at Oculto East, together with additional near-surface silver mineralization at JAC. Importantly, these results continue to expand both gold and silver resources well beyond the current Mineral Resource conceptual open pit, and they further demonstrate the scale of Diablillos Project to keep growing.   Dave shares the key takeaways their geological team is getting from the continued silver mineralization continuing to the west at JAC, while the gold mineralization is continuing to be delineated in Oculto East.   He mentions that they now believe the higher-grade gold intercepts are just the top of a porphyry deposit at depth, and more holes will be testing this in the future, as well as the deeper hole targeting a different porphyry target at Cerro Viejo.   Additionally, we circle back to the Sombra target identified in the Phase IV drill program last year, and how it is possible that there is a parallel trend that could extend from Sombra up to Oculto East, and that more drilling will focus on that thesis in the future.   Wrapping up John takes us through a number of ways that the company could still keep rerating higher, not just based on the thousands of meters of ongoing drilling, but also in light of how significant the higher silver and gold spot metals prices are to their project economics, and how the prior economics were run at substantially lower consensus metals prices.   The Company is doing all the derisking work all building towards their ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study due out in early 2026, which in tandem with permits expected to be received, will be the triggers for a construction decision.     If you have any follow up questions for John or Dave regarding at AbraSilver, then please email them into me at  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of AbraSilver Resource Corp at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell more shares at any time.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/   Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joined us to review the new expanded Mineral Resource Estimate, development work building towards the Definitive Feasibility Study, and the ongoing 20,000 meter Phase 5 drill program at their wholly-owned Diablillos property in Salta Province, Argentina.    The updated MRE now totals 104 million tonnes ("Mt") of ore, containing approximately 199 million ounces ("Moz") of silver and 1.72 Moz of gold (350 Moz silver-equivalent "AgEq") in the Measured & Indicated ("M&I") category. This total includes a maiden heap leach Mineral Resource estimate and reflects significant increases across five deposits (Oculto, JAC, Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra) located at Diablillos.   Key Highlights of the Updated MRE (Combined Tank and Heap Leach):   Total M&I Mineral Resources (tank and heap leach) now stand at 104 Mt grading 59 g/t Ag and 0.51 g/t Au, containing 199 Moz Ag and 1.72 Moz Au (350 Moz AgEq). Tank leach Mineral Resource estimate totals 73 Mt grading 79 g/t Ag and 0.66 g/t Au, containing 186 Moz Ag and 1.55 Moz Au (327 Moz AgEq). Maiden heap leach MRE adds 31 Mt grading 13 g/t Ag and 0.16 g/t Au, containing 13 Moz Ag and 162 koz Au (23 Moz AgEq). Based on lower-grade material contained with the constraining Whittle open pit, previously classified as waste, now recognized as potentially recoverable though a low-cost processing route.   Key Changes Compared to Prior MRE (Tank Leach Only):   25% increase in contained silver in M&I Mineral Resources to 186 Moz Ag from 148 Moz Ag. 14% increase in contained gold in M&I Mineral Resources to 1.55 Moz Au from 1.36Moz Au. 27% increase in M&I silver-equivalent ounces to 327 Moz AgEq from 258 Moz AgEq.   With three drill rigs now active across the broader Diablillos land package, and the potential to add a fourth rig in the future, the Company is entering another exciting new phase of exploration growth. In addition, the Company is doing all the derisking work programs in parallel with exploration for their ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study due out in early 2026, which will be followed by a PEA on the heap-leach economics, and another updated to the mineral resource once all the Phase V data is incorporated into that study.   If you have any follow up questions for John 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.

The North Dakota Oil and Gas Division's July 2025 Director's Cut featuring May 2025 production information and market updates from Nathan Anderson, Director of the Department of Mineral Resources, and Justin Kringstad, the Executive Director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority

Mark Pownall and Sam Jones take a look at the news of the week, including the latest rates decision, Mineral Resources, Nedlands council, Saracen's Gnarabup development and BHP's fair work decision.

Today we were delighted to welcome Jack Belcher and Sarah Venuto of Cornerstone Government Affairs, along with Brook Papau, CEO of Orennia, for a discussion focused on the energy implications of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB). Jack, a Principal at Cornerstone, has over 30 years of experience in energy and energy policy, having previously served as Manager of Regulatory Affairs and Policy at Shell and Staff Director for the U.S. House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources. Sarah, Principal and Counsel, joined Cornerstone in 2023 following roles as Director of the Office of External Affairs at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Senior Advisor and Chief Counsel to Senator Joe Manchin, and Democratic Staff Director for the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Brook founded Orennia in 2021 and previously served as Managing Director at RS Energy Group (now Enverus). Between Jack, Sarah, and Brook, we had a wealth of insight and expertise that fueled a thoughtful and detailed conversation. In our discussion, we explore the implications of the OBBB for U.S. energy policy, including a shift in emphasis toward fossil fuels (particularly natural gas), along with a renewed focus on reliability and dispatchability. Jack shares his perspective on the “winners” (oil and gas, nuclear, geothermal, and hydrogen) and “losers” (wind and solar), major changes to clean energy tax credits, and the pullback of unobligated funds from federal agencies reclaiming money originally authorized under the IRA. We discuss the introduction of Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) restrictions across tax credits, intended to accelerate the reshoring of critical supply chains, and how the current energy tax credit framework increasingly aligns with Trump Administration energy priorities. Brook shares implications for the U.S. grid and power mix, including anticipated delayed retirements of natural gas facilities, a near-term rush to install solar, wind, and storage while tax credits remain in place, severe supply chain constraints for new thermal generation, and growing post-2028 uncertainty as AI-driven demand growth threatens to outpace renewable power additions for the first time. Sarah describes the evolving U.S. energy policy landscape, with regulatory loosening across federal agencies, reduced enforcement capacity due to staffing cuts, and a return to traditional energy provisions, including reinstated onshore and offshore lease sales, lowered royalty rates, renewed support for drilling in Alaska, and accelerated tax treatment for intangible drilling costs. We examine the continued bipartisan support for nuclear, growing cross-party momentum for reshoring advanced manufacturing and critical supply chains, the inflation implications of phasing out tax credits, the partial permitting reforms included in the bill, the importance of codifying reforms into law to avoid policy reversals, early industry reaction to the bill, and much more. As mentioned, a few slides from Orennia's latest report on the OBBB are linked here. It was an engaging and insightful conversation, and we greatly appreciate Jack, Sarah, and Brook for sharing their perspectives. Mike Bradley opened the conversation by highlighting broader equity market performance, recent OPEC+ developments, and President Trump's surprising proposal to implement a copper import tariff. On the broader equity market front, markets have mostly moved sideways this week after posting all-time highs last week on passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill. Trumpatility is beginning to resurface ahead of President Trump's July 9th tariff deadline. Upcoming CPI and PPI reports, due next week, could significantly influence whether the Fed moves to cut interest rates at the July 30th FOMC Meeting. Additionally, Q2 reporting begins

US rates could be cut sooner than expected, depending on results out of the Non-Farm Payrolls this week.

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

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
