Podcasts about Mining

Accountability has suddenly become selective and the blame war is on. The Comey indictment is already revealing a lot. The veteran guardian of a fragile system. Mining data and crunching numbers. This involves controlling elections. This involves Russian intel and the phone locations of artillery crews. Fancy Bear is code written by Ukrainians at Crowd Strike. John Brennan was the burglar. You financed the Russia hoax. Hacking elections to claim certain software was used. The German servers provided coms. Hunter, his dad, and Obama were all involved. This predates Comey. That whole 911 thing had to be covered up. The FBI awarded contracts involving the DNC server hacks. A cyber security company was at the center of it all. Retroactive code and false cyber evidence. Who's the investigator on this F'g case? Network breeches and valuable data. The RNC was a target too. Who approved the bids? It sounds like a techno-thriller. Full control is usually the only answer. What is Pole Vault 7 again? On paper it makes sense, off paper it makes deals. Thousands of purposeful errors to create illusions. Private partners do all the dirty work. We must all be ready for traitors from within. History proves those are the most dangerous kind.

Australia suffered what is still our worst industrial disaster when an explosion ripped through the Mount Kembla mine on 31 July 1902. Strikingly, lead rescuer Henry MacCabe had 15 years earlier been acclaimed a hero of the 1887 Mount Keira explosion, which was our previous worst industrial catastrophe.

In this episode, we chat with Joachim Braun, Global Division President, Process Industries, at ABB, to explore the future of copper mining and its critical role in the global energy transition. With copper demand forecast to significantly outpace supply by 2035, the mining industry faces both enormous opportunity and intense pressure. We discuss how companies are adapting strategies, the sector's responsibility for global emissions, and the path to net zero. Joachim shares insights from ABB's research with 400+ mining leaders, highlighting barriers to progress, the importance of incremental innovation, and where miners can seize low-hanging fruit to drive real impact. From aligning production with sustainability to building future-ready operations, this conversation unpacks the strategies that will define the next generation of copper mining. KEY TAKEAWAYS Copper demand is forecasted to significantly outpace supply by 2035, driven by the energy transition and decarbonisation efforts, requiring the industry to accelerate the development of new deposits and increase extraction from existing assets. The sector's biggest sustainability challenge comes from extraction processes, primarily fuel-powered mining vehicles, which can be electrified with commercially viable solutions that also offer better performance, higher speed, and increased throughput. The most effective strategy for aligning production and sustainability goals involves incremental innovation, such as replacing diesel gensets with solar panels over time, rather than a "big bang" implementation, as this is more suited to the industry's long asset lifecycles and risk-averse mindset. Future-ready copper mining operations will be defined by full end-to-end electrification and digital integration, allowing for remote operation centres, predictive maintenance, and integrated planning BEST MOMENTS "The good news is that there are solutions, not only available, but becoming even more and more commercially viable without any legislative interventions into the market." "The challenge is that the lead time to develop copper deposits is incredibly long. It is longer than most legislators would imagine." "The worst thing what could happen is that with the aim of decarbonisation you basically end up with production losses, loss of competitiveness... whoever has the most efficient way of producing is basically winning the race." "If you bring this together, you already get a lot of benefits without really changing the way you operate, without massive investments."

Recording date: 2nd October 2025Welcome back to Compass, Olive Resource Capital's weekly markets and portfolio insights show, hosted by Derek MacPherson (Executive Chairman) and Sam Pelaez (President, CEO & CIO). Each week, we cut through the noise in mining and metals, highlighting the most important macro developments and drilling down into the companies shaping our portfolio.In this episode, we unpack a week of pivotal news for both major gold producers and junior explorers. At the very top of the market, Newmont and Barrick—two of the world's largest gold companies—announced leadership changes on the same day. Newmont's move was a planned succession from COO to CEO, signaling stability and continuity as the company enters a new phase of growth. Barrick, however, surprised the market with an interim appointment following the sudden departure of Mark Bristow. This contrast highlights the broader cycle shift from defensive, balance-sheet-focused leadership to growth-oriented CEOs ready to capitalise on a bull gold market.The coincidence of both announcements has reignited speculation about deeper industrial alignment. With Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo already jointly operated, strategic synergies are clear. A combined or further integrated entity could also benefit from passive investment flows, with Newmont's S&P 500 inclusion forcing index-tracking funds to increase their exposure. While no deal has been announced, the industrial and financial rationale for closer alignment between Newmont and Barrick is stronger than ever.Beyond the majors, the week delivered extraordinary news from Olive's portfolio companies. Sterling Metals announced a discovery hole at its Soo Copper project in Ontario - 262 metres at 1% copper equivalent—re-rating the stock by more than 200% in a single day. Years of geological groundwork positioned the company for this success, underscoring the importance of disciplined preparation.Prospector Metals delivered another standout intercept: 44 metres at 13 g/t gold with 1.8% copper at its Mike Lake project. Shares surged nearly 280% and have held those gains. As part of the Discovery Group, Prospector demonstrated how systematic geological work and strong stewardship can unlock transformative discoveries.By contrast, Midnight Sun Mining illustrates the risk of overextended valuations. The company reported nearly 40 metres at .5% copper from its Dumbwa target in Zambia, yet shares fell around 20% as the market had already priced in perfection. The case highlights why entry point and expectations matter as much as geological success.The financing environment also shows renewed strength, with over C$100 million raised across juniors in the past week. With seasonal drill programs now underway, investors should expect a steady cadence of results through year-end. Majors may also lean further into M&A, project acceleration, and capital returns as gold prices remain near record highs.

Today we welcome in Glenn Mullan, President and CEO of Val-d'Or Mining. Glenn provides an overview introduction to the company's prospect generator business model, which has seen multiple round of success in prior iterations under management. The company is currently working on earn-in agreements with partners Eldorado Gold, including the Perestroika Prospect, which has seen positive drill results recently in its Phase 2 program.

Interview with CEO Darren BowdenOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/metals-exploration-lsemtl-self-funded-nicaragua-gold-mine-targets-140k-oz-start-in-q4-2026-7323Recording date: 30th September 2025Metals Exploration presents a rare combination of near-term production growth and genuine exploration upside that makes it stand out in today's gold sector. With the Nicaragua project tracking ahead of schedule toward November 2026 first gold and the Philippines operation generating $110-120 million in annual cash flow, the company is executing a self-funded growth strategy that eliminates dilution risk while maintaining aggressive exploration programs.The Nicaragua build represents a transformational step-change for the company. All major equipment has been purchased, earthworks are complete, and the $160 million budget remains intact. More importantly, Nicaragua will produce 50% more ounces than the Philippines operation at roughly the same cost structure, bringing all-in sustaining costs down to $900-1000 per ounce. In an environment where many producers cite $1,400 as the new normal, this sub-$1,000 cost structure translates to 60%+ operating margins at current gold prices a genuine competitive advantage.What separates Metals Exploration from typical development stories is management's proven track record. Over six years, the Philippines operation has maintained just 2% annual cost growth versus industry averages of 10-15%. This isn't theoretical cost control it's demonstrated operational excellence that provides confidence in Nicaragua's projected economics.Beyond production growth, the exploration portfolio offers asymmetric upside. Dupax drilling begins immediately, targeting VMS mineralization that could feed existing permitted infrastructure. But the real company-maker potential lies at Abra, where copper-molybdenum and copper-gold porphyry targets sit in the Cordillera belt home to the Philippines' largest copper-gold deposits including the 40-million-ounce Far Southeast system. CEO Darren Bowden characterizes Nicaragua and Dupax as "forerunners to give us the cash" to develop Abra, the company's "white whale."For investors seeking operational excellence combined with tier-one discovery potential, Metals Exploration offers a compelling risk-reward profile. The strategy is elegant: proven cash flow funds patient exploration capital toward potentially transformational discoveries, all without equity dilution. That's increasingly rare in today's gold sector.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In today's episode, we chat with Sean Wade, CEO of Power Metal Resources, and Ian Freeman, CEO of Minestarters. Sean has been on the show before, and Power Metal has been building momentum with its diverse portfolio and project incubator model. Ian joins us for the first time to introduce Minestarters, a new platform bringing blockchain and tokenisation into the world of mining finance. In this conversation, we'll cover the progress Power Metal has made since Sean was last on the podcast, Ian's journey to founding Minestarters, and how the platform is opening up new opportunities for project funding. We'll also discuss the challenges with traditional mining finance, how this partnership complements Power Metal's strategy, and what both companies have planned for the months ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS Traditional mining finance is often constrained by a scarcity of capital, high costs, and long lock-up periods for investors, which has hindered the ability of junior miners to get projects funded. MineStarters is a fintech business that uses blockchain and tokenisation to create a decentralised finance (DeFi) network, connecting early-stage mining projects to global capital pools, allowing for 24/7 trading and liquidity. Power Metals' strategy is to continue its project incubator model—finding, developing, and crystalising assets—but with the added fintech dimension of MineStarters The partnership is highly synergistic: Power Metals will invest up to £3 million for up to a 49% equity stake in MineStarters, which will generate revenue through deal and platform fees BEST MOMENTS "The world we've been in and are in is is is tough. It's it's reduced very, very substantially. What this is going to do is going to take our model, existing model, and it's going to develop it further." "What tokenisation allows, through this distributed, um, so decentralised finance network that's enabled by the blockchain, it allows us to take this on-chain capital and bridge to the off-chain real-world asset." "I believe that the MineStarters platform, the business itself, will create a tremendous amount of value. 49% of that will be owned by the Power Metal shareholders." "We are very firmly in the space of the project incubator... The idea is that we get started on the projects, we turn them into a company, IPO that business” VALUABLE RESOURCES Mail:        ⁠rob@mining-international.org⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/⁠ X:              ⁠https://twitter.com/MiningRobTyson⁠  YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/DigDeepTheMiningPodcast⁠  Web:        ⁠http://www.mining-international.org⁠ GUEST SOCIALS  Power Metal Resources X - https://x.com/PowerMetRes LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/power-metal-resources/ https://www.powermetalresources.com info@powermetalresources.com  Minestarters X - https://x.com/minestarters25 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/minestarters/ https://minestarters.com/ https://www.sec.gov/about/sec-launches-project-crypto  CONTACT METHOD ⁠rob@mining-international.org⁠ ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/⁠ Podcast Description Rob Tyson is an established recruiter in the mining and quarrying sector and decided to produce the “Dig Deep” The Mining Podcast to provide valuable and informative content around the mining industry.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies, influencing policies that promote more medical interventions for children while reducing parental control The AAP's top priority is to eliminate parental authority over childhood vaccination decisions, replacing it with state or provider control Major child health issues like rising obesity, increasing autism rates, and chronic illness prevention are absent from the AAP's top 10 priorities The AAP uses rare measles outbreaks to justify removing personal and religious vaccine exemptions, despite measles mortality already being near zero before mass vaccination began Ignoring preventive strategies, the AAP's approach sets children up for lifelong dependence on pharmaceutical products rather than building lasting health

In this episode, Trevor welcomes Justin Hayek of Ventum Financial to analyze the current bull market in the mining sector, which has seen a significant run over the last year. They discuss how the "easy money" has been made and how capital is now flowing downstream into development and junior exploration companies. Hayek highlights the massive influx of institutional capital seen in recent oversubscribed financings and describes the current M&A environment as intelligent and healthy. Finally, the conversation looks ahead to where value can still be found, focusing on critical minerals and takeover candidates, while pondering if this bull market could have a multi-year run similar to the 2002-2007 cycle.

Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins me to review the news release today, on September 30th, announcing that the Company has entered into of a binding term sheet with Sailfish Royalty Corp. to acquire the Mt. Hamilton Gold-Silver Project located in White Pine County, Nevada, USA, through the acquisition of 100% of Mt. Hamilton LLC, the direct owner of the Mt. Hamilton Project, through a series of transactions. Sailfish will acquire MH LLC on an arm's length basis from Mt. Hamilton Holdings LLC, and subsequently transfer the interests to Mako in consideration for a corporate gold stream, and a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Mt. Hamilton Project from Mako. Neither Mako nor Sailfish will issue any equity to complete these transactions.   The Mt. Hamilton Project has all major state and federal permits to allow construction of an open pit, heap leach gold-silver project, and has a current mineral resource estimate with an effective date of September 23, 2025 (the "Mt. Hamilton MRE") that was prepared by James N. Gray, P.Geo., of Advantage Geoservices Ltd., out of Vancouver, British Columbia.   Additionally, we discussed the 2nd layer of mineralization and value proposition of the Mt Hamilton Project, because it also hosts a tungsten/copper/molybdenum target, located below and independent of the gold and silver Mt. Hamilton MRE. This tungsten target has been defined by over 100,000 ft of historical exploration drilling. In a report by the Department of the Interior, dated August 25, 2025, tungsten (W) was named as one of the top 10 critical metals listed by their estimated probability-weighted impact of supply disruptions on the U.S. economy.  There is the potential to seek government funds allocated for the development of critical minerals for this portion of the deposit down the road as another potential opportunity.   We also unpack the anticipated mining to begin in Q4 at the Moss Mine, and what to anticipate for the several months of ramp up of increased production.  Additionally, we delve into the next key steps for permitting and development work at the Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana; set to be in construction in late 2026 and production by H2 of 2027.   This is a longer-format interview where we get into many nuances of operations and coming catalysts in all 4 jurisdictions.       If you have any further questions for Akiba regarding Mako Mining, then please email them into me at  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Mako Mining at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell more shares at any time.   Click here for a summary of the recent news out of Mako Mining.     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.

Interview with Gerald Panneton, Executive Chairman of Gold Terra Resource Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gold-terra-resource-tsxvygt-leveraging-rising-gold-prices-with-high-grade-yellowknife-project-6315Recording date: 25th September 2025Gold Terra Resources Corporation (TSXV:YGT) is advancing its Yellowknife gold project in Canada's Northwest Territories, capitalizing on dramatically improved economics driven by gold's rise to $3,750 per ounce. Executive Chairman Gerald Panneton sees significant opportunity to revitalize the historically productive mining district, which was shuttered in 2003 when gold traded at just $340 per ounce.The company has outlined 1.8 million ounces of combined indicated and inferred resources, with a strategic focus on 540,000 near-surface ounces in the Yellorex zone that can be accessed via ramp development within 3-4 years. This approach prioritizes cash flow generation over the more capital-intensive deep underground mining that characterized the original operation.Gold Terra's competitive advantage centers on the Con Mine, a cornerstone asset featuring existing mining lease and surface rights that could reduce permitting timelines from the typical 10-15 years for greenfield projects to approximately one year. "The biggest advantage Gold Terra has with the Con mine as a cornerstone property is that [they have] the mining lease and the surface rights," Panneton explained.Third-party validation came through OR Royalties' $2 million investment to increase their NSR royalty from 1% to 2%, with an option for additional investment to reach 3%. The endorsement followed an in-depth technical review, providing external confirmation of the project's potential.Current gold prices have transformed project economics, enabling potential cutoff grade reductions that could expand the Yellorex zone from 540,000 to 700,000 ounces. Management targets completing a resource update and preliminary economic assessment within 6-12 months, aiming to finalize the Newmont acquisition by 2026.With $3 million in treasury and improved market conditions, Gold Terra enters a critical development phase positioned to leverage both existing infrastructure advantages and gold's structural bull market through disciplined, phased development focused on near-term production potential.View Gold Terra's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gold-terra-resource-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Rebecca Hunter, CEO of Geiger EnergyRecording date: 26th September 2025Geiger Energy represents a significant consolidation in Canada's uranium exploration sector, formed through the merger of Baslode Energy and Forum Energy Metals in 2025. The combined entity positions itself across two premier uranium districts: Nunavut's Thelon Basin and Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin analog, creating a year-round exploration platform under experienced leadership.Rebecca Hunter, the company's President and CEO, brings 11 years of Cameco Corporation experience to the role, including direct involvement with the Thelon project during the pre-Fukushima uranium cycle. Her institutional knowledge proves critical as Geiger advances its flagship Aberdeen project, which encompasses 50+ targets adjacent to Orano's 133 million pound uranium deposit.The recent Loki discovery marks a watershed moment for Thelon Basin exploration. "What's exciting about the Loki deposit is that it has sandstone. This year we drilled it and found even more elevated uranium in the sandstone and mineralization at the unconformity," Hunter explains. This represents the first evidence of unconformity-style mineralization in a region historically dominated by basement-hosted deposits, potentially validating the basin's capacity to host world-class uranium systems similar to Saskatchewan's MacArthur River and Cigar Lake mines.Geiger's dual-basin strategy leverages complementary seasonal operating windows. Aberdeen operations run during Nunavut's four-month summer season, while the Hook-ACKIO project in Saskatchewan enables winter drilling programs. This approach maximizes capital efficiency and maintains continuous news flow for investors.The company emerges with robust financial backing, maintaining approximately $6 million in working capital following Baslode's $10 million contribution and an additional $6 million raise. This positions Geiger to execute sustained exploration programs across both flagship assets while maintaining operational flexibility in volatile uranium markets.Hunter emphasizes the strategic focus: "You want to pick one or two really good projects that have that capability. For us, the Aberdeen project is that. We've got a whole district basically to ourselves with really good ground where we think that we could find one of these high-tonnage, high-grade discoveries."View Geiger Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/geiger-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with George Bennett, CEO of Rainbow Rare EarthsRecording date: 26th September 2025Rainbow Rare Earths (LSE:RBW) is pioneering a revolutionary approach to rare earth element extraction that addresses both economic efficiency and Western supply chain independence. Led by CEO George Bennett, a seasoned executive with 16 years of investment banking experience and a proven track record of scaling mining operations, the company extracts valuable rare earth materials from phosphogypsum waste rather than traditional hard rock mining.The company's proprietary technology eliminates conventional mining costs including drilling, blasting, and crushing operations, resulting in projected EBITDA margins exceeding 75% and internal rates of return between 45-50%. "We've got no mining costs, we are extracting the RE out of phosphogypsum which is a waste residue," Bennett explains, highlighting the fundamental cost advantage over traditional rare earth projects.Rainbow operates two strategic assets: the flagship Phalaborwa project in South Africa, where the company holds 85% ownership with 35 million tons of high-grade material, and the Uberaba project in Brazil through a 50/50 joint venture with Mosaic, a $15 billion fertilizer company. Both projects leverage existing brownfield infrastructure and provide environmental benefits through waste remediation.The company has secured significant validation through a $50 million equity commitment from the US Development Finance Corporation, positioning the US government as a future project shareholder. This strategic backing, combined with recent floor pricing of $110/kg for neodymium and praseodymium established by MP Materials' Department of Defense contract, provides crucial market stability for Rainbow's revenue streams.With total capital requirements of $300 million and production targeted for 2027-2028, Rainbow is positioned to capitalize on surging demand from electric vehicles, defense applications, and the emerging robotics sector. The company addresses critical Western supply chain vulnerabilities while China controls 95% of global rare earth processing capacity, making Rainbow a compelling investment in the transition toward strategic mineral independence.View Rainbow Rare Earths' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rainbow-rare-earthsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Jean Lafleur, Technical Adviser, Lafleur MineralsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/lafleur-minerals-cse-lflr-positioning-for-near-term-gold-production-7636Recording date: 24th September 2025Lafleur Minerals is emerging as a unique player in Quebec's gold sector by combining operational infrastructure with a growing mineral base in the prolific Val-d'Or camp. At the heart of its strategy is the fully permitted Beacon Mill, a 500-750 ton per day processing facility located near Val-d'Or. Unlike competitors who must wait years for permitting and construction, Lafleur can restart operations for just $5-6 million, with expected gold recovery rates exceeding 97%. This operational advantage not only provides immediate revenue opportunities through toll milling but also underpins the company's acquisition strategy of targeting smaller deposits within a 100-kilometer radius—resources that larger producers typically overlook.The company's flagship Swanson gold project is undergoing an ambitious expansion under the guidance of Technical Adviser Jean Lafleur. Recent drilling has expanded the property's size five to six times, confirming mineralization across a strike length of more than two kilometers. Geological analysis highlights an orogenic gold system with both classic quartz vein mineralization and sulfide-rich zones, offering near-surface, open-pit potential. The company is targeting a 500,000 to 1 million ounce resource, positioning Swanson as a key growth driver alongside the mill.High gold prices exceeding $3,600 per ounce create especially favorable conditions for Lafleur's model. With infrastructure already in place, near-surface deposits, and a scalable milling capacity, the company can generate cash flow faster and at lower cost than traditional exploration-driven peers. By leveraging its mill, Lafleur can build a pipeline of deposits—historical mines, new discoveries, or neighboring properties—to secure long-term feed and multi-year production horizons.Backed by Jean Lafleur's decades of geological experience and the established logistics of Val-d'Or, Lafleur Minerals is positioned not only as an exploration company but as a vertically integrated developer with immediate revenue potential and a clear growth trajectory in Canada's most prolific gold camp.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/lafleur-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher Metals Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gold-navigating-the-investment-opportunities-and-understanding-the-risks-5527Recording date: 24th September 2025Kingfisher Metals has positioned itself as a dominant force in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, assembling the largest contiguous land package among junior explorers at 850 square kilometers. Under CEO Dustin Perry's leadership, the company operates in Canada's most prolific copper-gold region, home to the highest-grade gold mine at Brucejack and the world's largest undeveloped gold deposit at KSM.Recent exploration success validates the company's systematic approach. The 2025 program delivered 234 meters grading 1% copper equivalent and identified a new porphyry system at Hank target. Perry describes this discovery as having "all the early stage indications that we're on to a very large deposit." The breakthrough resulted from methodical target generation by a team with proven experience at KSM, Red Chris, and the successful GT Gold project.Strategic advantages differentiate Kingfisher from regional competitors. Properties sit just 12 kilometers from highway infrastructure with favorable topography, lower elevation, and reduced environmental complications. Perry notes the location benefits: "You don't need to find something that good to make it very economical where we are given the location." The company avoids salmon river conflicts that plague other regional projects while maintaining proximity to power infrastructure.Financial backing strengthens the exploration runway through a $11 million financing completed in May 2025. Ashwath Mehra, founding partner of Glencore and former GT Gold executive chairman, leads the advisory board while institutional investors provide patient capital for multi-year programs.The investment thesis centers on statistical probability across extensive prospective terrain surrounded by major operators Teck, Anglo American, and Newmont. Recent $750 million commitments to adjacent Galore Creek and Schaft Creek projects, located further from infrastructure, create acquisition potential for infrastructure-advantaged discoveries. Perry's long-term vision follows the GT Gold model, targeting systematic exploration leading to discovery and ultimate major company acquisition within three years.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kingfisher-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Maura Kolb,  President of Dryden Gold Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/dryden-gold-tsxvdry-58m-drill-campaign-funded-by-strategic-investment-6644Recording date: 23rd September 2025Dryden Gold Corporation has emerged as a compelling exploration opportunity in northwestern Ontario's proven mining district, combining institutional validation with operational excellence to develop what appears to be a significant district-scale gold system. The company's methodical approach has attracted strategic investment from Centerra Gold, which maintains a 9.9% ownership position and provides crucial third-party validation of the exploration thesis.Under President Maura Kolb's leadership, Dryden Gold has achieved remarkable operational efficiency with industry-leading drilling costs at $200 CAD all-in, significantly below peer averages. This cost advantage stems from strategic partnerships with Winnipeg-based contractors and local expertise development, supporting the company's growth to 10 employees with dedicated core facilities across their 70,000-hectare land package.The flagship Gold Rock target exemplifies the company's systematic geological approach, evolving from three initial structures to dozens of high-grade intersection targets within a concentrated 1km x 1km footprint. This evolution has fundamentally changed mining scenarios from underground-only to potential open-pit development through the identification of stacked structures and multiple deformation events.Regional exploration has revealed an 8km strike length pattern comparable to Red Lake's 28 million ounce endowment, with newly identified targets at Mud Lake showing similar mineralization to Gold Rock. Recent drilling at these regional targets suggests the emergence of a true district-scale opportunity rather than isolated deposits.Financially, Dryden Gold maintains strong liquidity with a recent $7.8 million raise funding 20-25,000 meters of additional drilling, while $11.5 million in warrants at $0.30 now in-the-money provide potential non-dilutive financing. Approximately two-thirds of results from recent drilling campaigns remain unreported, creating multiple near-term catalysts.The company explicitly targets eventual merger and acquisition activity, with Kolb stating: "The endgame is M&A. So we're shopping for our future buyout really with these major companies." This strategic positioning, combined with institutional backing and expanding resource potential, creates compelling risk-adjusted exposure to both organic growth and consolidation opportunities in the strengthening gold sector.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/dryden-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Ben Pullinger, President & CEO of ATEX Resources Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/atex-resources-tsxvatx-resource-update-coming-after-exceptional-phase-five-drill-results-6808Recording date: 25th September 2025ATEX Resources (TSXV: ATX) has positioned itself as a leading copper development story following the successful completion of its resource update and a strategic $21 million land acquisition. The company's Valeriano project in Chile has achieved management's guidance target of 2 billion tons at 0.78% copper equivalent grade, with 24% of the resource now classified in the higher-confidence indicated category.The resource achievement represents significant progress from the company's initial geological understanding. Through systematic drilling that expanded from 22,000 meters in 2023 to 51,000 meters currently, ATEX has evolved its geological model from a conceptual three-finger framework to a comprehensive understanding of a continuous granodioritic porphyry core representing nearly one billion tons, complemented by substantial wall rock mineralization.Central to ATEX's development strategy is the B2B zone, which delivered 30 million tons at 1.36% copper equivalent grade within just one year of drilling. This higher-grade zone forms the foundation for a potential starter operation that could provide early cash flow and achieve payback periods of 2-3 years, addressing the capital intensity challenges typical of large-scale copper projects.The company's $21 million acquisition of 14,500 hectares of surface rights eliminates critical development risks by providing complete control over surface access and water rights. This strategic investment removes permitting uncertainties and reduces operational costs, particularly for water procurement and trucking expenses.ATEX has distinguished itself through exceptional exploration efficiency, achieving a discovery cost of half a penny per pound of copper in the ground—efficiency levels not observed since the early 1990s. This performance reflects both the deployment of advanced directional drilling techniques and the inherently well-behaved geological characteristics of the Valeriano deposit.With over $20 million in cash and $52 million in callable warrants, ATEX maintains a strong financial position to execute its Phase 6 drilling program while benefiting from favorable copper market dynamics driven by global supply constraints and increasing electrification demand.View ATEX Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/atex-resources-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Petek Akerley, President & CEO of Erdene Resources DevelopmentOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/erdene-resource-development-tsxerd-mongolia-gold-mine-98-complete-first-pour-september-2025-7357Recording date: 23rd September 2025Erdene Resource Development represents a compelling transition story within the gold mining sector, having successfully achieved first production while maintaining substantial growth optionality across a district-scale asset base in Mongolia. The company's September 2025 first gold pour from Bayan Khundii marks the culmination of systematic development efforts and positions the operation for sustained cash flow generation through favorable metallurgical characteristics and operational efficiency.The technical foundation supporting Erdene's investment proposition centers on exceptional deposit characteristics that translate directly to operational advantages. Bayan Khundii's 93-95% gold recovery rates using conventional processing technology, combined with low cyanide consumption and minimal sulfide content, position the operation favorably within industry cost curves. This operational efficiency becomes particularly valuable during periods of input cost inflation, providing margin protection and cash flow stability that supports both debt service and growth investment.The company's financial trajectory offers clear value creation milestones for investors. Current debt levels of $110 million are projected for retirement by mid-2026 through operational cash flows, eliminating the 13.8% financing costs and providing increased flexibility for expansion capital allocation. The 50-50 joint venture structure with Mongolian Mining Corporation provides operational stability and local expertise while maintaining strategic control through unanimous decision-making processes.Near-term growth catalysts focus on high-probability, infrastructure-leveraged expansion opportunities. The Bayan Khundii pit extension program targets an additional 150,000 ounces through westward and southward drilling, potentially increasing total reserves by 30% with minimal additional permitting requirements. The Dark Horse deposit, located 2.5 kilometers from existing operations, contains 50,000 ounces of high-grade surface mineralization amenable to alternative processing routes, including potential heap leach operations that could complement existing capacity.District-scale development potential extends the investment timeline beyond immediate expansion scenarios. The Altan Nar polymetallic project, containing 500,000 gold equivalent ounces across a 5-kilometer trend, represents a second development phase that could double production profiles to 200,000-250,000 ounces annually. The $7 million exploration budget allocated for 2026 targets systematic resource definition across this portfolio, focusing on near-surface opportunities that minimize development risks and capital requirements.Strategic diversification through the Zuun Mod molybdenum project provides exposure to industrial metals markets experiencing supply deficits, particularly within Chinese demand centers. This asset optionality offers portfolio balance and potential value realization through alternative development scenarios or strategic partnerships.The company's recent 6-for-1 share consolidation reflects management recognition of evolving institutional investor requirements as the company transitions from developer to producer status. This corporate action, combined with improving operational metrics and cash flow generation, positions Erdene for potential producer re-rating as institutional recognition expands.Erdene's positioning within current gold market dynamics appears particularly advantageous given the combination of immediate production cash flows and substantial expansion potential. The operational excellence demonstrated through successful startup, coupled with systematic approach to resource expansion across multiple deposits, suggests sustained value creation potential within Mongolia's established mining jurisdiction. The clear debt reduction timeline and aggressive exploration programs targeting near-surface extensions provide investors with both current income exposure and future growth optionality within a single investment vehicle.View Erdene Resource Development's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/erdene-resource-developmentSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Alan Carter, President & CEO of Cabral Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cabral-gold-tsxvcbr-meet-the-team-john-sestan-7696Recording date: 23rd September 2025Cabral Gold Corporation is positioning itself to capitalize on record gold prices with its Cuiú Cuiú gold project in northern Brazil, featuring 1.2 million ounces of inferred and indicated resources across an entire mining district. The company has completed a pre-feasibility study for a starter operation requiring less than $40 million in capital expenditure with an impressive 12-month construction timeline.The project's economics have become exceptionally attractive in the current gold market environment. With all-in sustaining costs projected at $1,200 per ounce and gold trading above $2,600, the operation generates approximately $2,500 profit per ounce pre-tax. This translates to a remarkable five-month payback period on the initial capital investment, making it one of the most attractive development opportunities in the gold sector.Cabral has structured its development around proven heap leaching technology using a rotating pad system that prioritizes operational flexibility over cost optimization. The company will operate four heaps on a 120-day cycle, allowing for process adjustments between cycles to ensure production consistency and reduce technical risks.Three drill rigs are actively exploring across the district, targeting a doubling of current resources within 12-18 months. Recent high-grade results include 11 meters at 33 grams per tonne and 39 meters at 5.1 grams per tonne, demonstrating the district's continued potential. The project encompasses four new discoveries plus approximately 50 additional targets that have shown encouraging gold values.The project benefits significantly from its location adjacent to Brazil's third-largest gold mine, Tocantinzinho, which produces 200,000 ounces annually. Historical data indicates the Cuiú Cuiú area produced ten times more placer gold than the Tocantinzinho area, suggesting superior geological endowment across the district.Construction financing discussions are at advanced stages, with management expecting news within weeks regarding debt financing arrangements that will fund the majority of the capital requirements.View Cabral Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cabral-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
