Interview with Diane R. Garrett, President & CEO of Hycroft MiningOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/hycroft-mining-nasdaqhymc-nevada-giant-eliminates-debt-targets-2026-production-milestone-8914Recording date: 18th February 2026Hycroft Mining (Nasdaq: HYMC) has published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate confirming 55% growth in Measured and Indicated gold and silver resources at its Hycroft Mine in Winnemucca, Nevada. The deposit now stands at 16.4 million gold ounces and 562.6 million silver ounces in the M+I category, with inferred resources of a further 5.0 million gold ounces and 132.8 million silver ounces. The MRE was prepared by independent third parties and is based on commodity prices of US$3,100/oz gold and US$36/oz silver.The update incorporates results from 70 drill holes and reflects a geological reinterpretation that has fundamentally changed how management and institutional investors view the asset. In late 2023, Hycroft announced the discovery of two new high-grade silver systems, Brimstone and Vortex, within the existing resource footprint. After just 14 months of drilling, those systems have already yielded an initial high-grade M+I silver resource of 90.2 million ounces. Critically, both systems remain open along strike and at depth, and no results from the current 2025-2026 drill programme are yet incorporated into the MRE.Metallurgical test work using Pressure Oxidation has confirmed recoveries of 83% for gold and 78% for silver - robust figures for a refractory sulfide deposit and a key de-risking milestone ahead of a feasibility study. The company is also evaluating a roasting alternative that could convert a processing cost into a by-product revenue stream through sulfuric acid production.Financially, Hycroft is well-positioned to execute. The company holds approximately US$200 million in cash with zero debt, following the retirement of legacy liabilities in October 2024. The institutional shareholder base, led by Eric Sprott at 43%, with BlackRock, Schroders, and Franklin Templeton also on the register, reflects sustained conviction in the long-term thesis. Project economics on the large-scale operation are expected by end of Q1 2026, with an underground mining assessment of the high-grade systems also underway.—View Hycroft Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/hycroft-mining-holding-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Piše Miša Gams, bereta Eva Longyka Marušič in Aleksander Golja. Roman Vanja je zadnji del Möderndorferjeve trilogije, ki vključuje še romana Odštevanje ter Zvezda, žlica in ura. Čeprav se trojica vsebinsko, vsaj na prvi pogled, ne navezuje druga na drugo, lahko med njimi opazimo vzporednice: posledice, ki so jih v protagonistih pustili druga svetovna vojna in njihov ambivalenten odnos s svojci oz. predniki. Da se travme, ki jih doživljajo junaki vseh treh romanov, raztezajo vse tja do prve svetovne vojne, je najbolj razvidno prav iz zgodbe, ki jo razkriva roman Vanja. V nasprotju s prejšnjima romanoma, ki se odvijeta v 24 urah, v njem sledimo celotnemu življenju rdečelasega Ivana, edinega sina očeta, ki ga je zaznamovala vojna v Galiciji in jo v trenutkih vinjenosti izpoveduje otrokom: “Včasih smo bili tako lačni, da smo v blatnih jarkih s tal pobirali bruhanje svojih kolegov. Bruhke smo natikali na zobotrebce in jih jedli. Nad nami pa so švigale granate. Mreža neprekinjenega streljanja. Tik nad glavami. Nič posebnega ni bilo, če je tvojemu najboljšemu kameradu nenadoma odtrgalo pol obraza. Sploh me ni več prizadelo. Kot da je to nekaj običajnega. In je tudi bilo. Saj se je dogajalo vsak dan. Po sovražnikovem napadu, ko je bilo nekaj miru, sem se moral temeljito pogledati. Bil sem ves krvav in umazan od razcefranega človeškega mesa … Moral sem preveriti, če kri ni ni moja, če meso ni moje, če čreva, ki mi visijo na ramah niso moja …” Ivan zre na življenje skozi očetove oči v prepričanju, da lahko največ gorja povzročijo vraževerni sovaščani, ki v rdečelasem sosedu vidijo večjega sovražnika kot v kolonialistično razpoloženih nacistih in fašistih. Po materini smrti in očetovem odhodu iz družine se znajde na bojišču preigravanja medgeneracijskih travm, ki se iz primarne družine prenašajo v drugo in tretjo družino. Če se osrednji lik romana Odštevanje začne spopadati z družinskimi travmami šele v četrtem desetletju svojega življenja, ko tudi prvič spozna svojega biološkega očeta, se protagonist romana Vanja Ivan že zelo zgodaj začne spraševati, kako nanj vpliva preteklost staršev in starejših sester, ki se v boju za preživetje zatekajo k najrazličnejšim rešitvam, od pajdašenja z vojnim zločincem do izumljanja terapevtskih pravljic in neprekinjenega posta. Spomine na primarno družino mu pomaga zatreti šele skrivnostna Ana, ki izhaja iz družine dveh gluhonemih sester in očeta, ki so ga odpeljali na Goli otok, kar je tudi stična točka z romanom Zvezda, žlica in ura. V njem se protagonistka s sinom po več letih znajde v stanovanju, obkrožena s predmeti očeta, ki je večino življenja preživel v italijanskem taborišču, domobranski celici belgijske kasarne, mariborskem zaporu in na Golem otoku. Vendar pa med zadnjima romanoma trilogije obstaja prepoznavna distinkcija – prvi se odvija ob stiku s predmeti, ki sprožijo asociativno verigo spominov na preteklost, se zadnji v celoti odvija skozi pogovore še živečih ljudi, ki z Ivanom posredno razrešujejo dogodke iz svoje preteklosti. Ivan tako z željo po novem začetku posvoji Aninega sina in se preseli v dom njene matere, vendar po nizu nespametnih poslovnih odločitev in nerazčiščenih družinskih odnosov konča na Psihiatrični kliniki, kjer z zdravnico počasi predeluje svoje življenje in zbira pogum za obisk svojih otrok. Möderndorfer se tako kot v prejšnjih romanih tudi v tem pokaže kot rahločuten pripovedovalec, ki niza različne segmente osebne zgodovine glavnega junaka, ki v nekem trenutki doživi psihotični zlom. V prepričanju, da mu že ves čas sledijo organi pregona v stilu nekdanje Udbe, se odpravi na Upravo javne varnosti, kjer ima veličasten monolog: “Mene ne morete strpati na Goli otok, jaz sem se rodil leta tisoč devetsto devetintrideset, bil sem premlad, kaj pa sem jaz vedel, kdo je to Stalin, mene ne, mene ne morete. Ker jaz nisem noben komunist, jaz sem brat shirane sestre in sin vojaka prve svetovne vojne in odlikovanega heroja osvobodilne fronte, to je bil moj ata, zdaj pa me poslušajte: jaz nisem kriv, da je moja sestra poročena z vojnim zločincem, če je to problem, potem ga lahko rešimo takoj, samo pustite moj tovornjak pri miru, to so moje roke, moja prihodnost, vse sem žrtvoval, hčerke sploh ne vidim, včeraj se je rodila, še malo, pa bo končala osnovno šolo, navrtali ste mi možgane, da preskakujem čas, razumete, hočem, da se to neha, nikogar ne bom izdal, jaz ne, jaz že ne, če je to problem, me raje ubijte, dovolj je trpela moja ljuba Ana, pa njen oče, mučenik v komunističnih zaporih, sveti Duh in on, ki se je slačil pred mano, saj vem, tako daleč to sega, vse veste, dvignil je svoj duhovniški talar in pod njim je imel velikega kurca, če je to problem, da se nisem umaknil, je to problem?” Möderndorfer v romanu Vanja prikaže, kako v protagonistovem, nezavednem deluje mehanizem potlačitve pa tudi na kakšen način se v posameznih slojih nalagata osebna in kolektivna zgodovina. V romanu Odštevanje je pokazal, na kakšen način se protagonist, ki se nahaja v obdobju tranzicije, ob očetovih spominih premika k izvoru samega sebe oziroma svoje družine, v romanu Zvezda, žlica in ura se sprašuje o sami naravi resnice in spomina, v romanu Vanja, ki ima podnaslov Kratek roman o predolgem življenju, pa razkriva zakulisje družinske travme, ki se je materializirala v rdečelasem “grešnem kozlu”. Zdi se, da je ta vse življenje izbiral napačne odločitve, da bi se lahko nezavedno poistovetil s predniki, ki so končali v zaporih ali na takšnih in drugačnih moriščih. Čeprav gre v prvi vrsti za roman o tem, do kam lahko človeka privedeta zgodnja smrt matere in želja po poistovetenju z očetom, pa nam roman Vanja nudi tudi pogled v shizofrenijo sodobnega časa in v nevrozo, ki jo puščajo za sabo nepredelane zgodovinske travme, ki jih iz dneva v dan preigravamo tako na političnem bojišču kot v vsakdanjem življenju.

Terry Harbort, President and CEO of Talisker Resources (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX:TSKFF), joins us for an production and exploration update at the Mustang Mine, to outline the development towards Bralorne West, and to review the work going into the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) at their 100% owned Bralorne Gold Project in British Columbia.   Terry outlined what the ramp-up in production at the Mustang Mine would look like over the next few years; with a goal to get up to 500 tonnes per day (tpd) this year, and clarified the November 10th news announcing the signing of binding terms for an Ore Purchase Agreement with Ocean Partners UK Ltd for up to 1,500 tpd including a US$25 million revolving credit facility for use developing the Project and secure the pathway to ramp up production.  The Company has confirmed with Ocean Partners that it will begin shipping gold bearing material here in January 2026, and there are already stockpiles building at the port facility.   Initial production at the Mustang mine was sourced mostly from in-vein development from the 1090, 1105 and 1120 levels and but now development and production is progressing into the stopes at the 1060, 1045, and 1035 levels. The mining has been coming from the Alhambra Vein, BK Vein, and BK-9870 Vein, with plans to also begin accessing the Brumbie Vein in the next couple of months.   In 2025, a total of 35 underground diamond drill holes for 7,515 metres were completed from three drill bays in the Mustang Mine, and a total of 15 surface diamond drill holes for 5,367 metres were completed from one drill pad at Bralorne West. This work included drill hole UB-2025-016 which intercepted 99.60 g/t Au over 0.50 m within 26.48 g/t Au over 2.00 m on the BK9870 Vein. The underground resource conversion drill program was focused on infill drilling at the Alhambra, BK, and BK-9870 Veins within the Mustang Mine. All 2025 diamond drilling assays have now been received and are being incorporated into the vein model wireframes, which will feed into the upcoming resource estimate and PEA.   Talisker has engaged SGS Canada Inc. to complete a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Technical Report incorporating a Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Bralorne Gold Project. The MRE will update the estimate in the Company's current Technical Report (completed in 2023) and incorporate an additional 138 drill holes (representing 31,093m of drill core), as well as the depletion of areas already mined by Talisker at the Mustang Mine in 2025. In addition, Talisker has engaged third-party consultants to complete studies regarding mining, infrastructure, process, capital and operation costs, as well as economic studies. The information from these studies will be provided to SGS for review and incorporation in the PEA. The Technical Report with both the MRE and PEA is expected to be completed during Q2 2026.   We review as things continue ramping up, expanding up to 500 tpd later this year, that the plan is then to keep developing over to increase mining from more areas including from Bralorne West to increase operations to 750-1,000 tpd about 2 years out. Then further out the initiative is to put in a second portal into the historic Pioneer mining area to access the Olympus Mine to the southeast of the Mustang Mine, moving throughput up to the eventual target of 1,500 tpd.   Additionally, we explore how the process will being upgrading the ore on site utilizing ore-sorting technology by Q3 of this year. This ore-sorting will allow for shipping higher-grade material, with less associated waste, making it even more economical to be shipped to Ocean Partners.     If you have any follow up questions for Terry regarding Talisker Resources, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Talisker Resources at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Talisker Resources   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, and Dave O'Connor, Chief Geologist of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), join me to review the final silver and gold assay results from drill holes completed as part of the Phase V diamond drilling program at its wholly-owned Diablillos project in Salta Province, Argentina.   We discuss how these drill results will be incorporated into the upcoming Mineral Resource estimate (“MRE”), underpinning the Company's Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”), which continues to remain on track for completion in Q2/2026.     This Phase V drill program has been mostly focused on the Oculto East and JAC zones at their wholly-owned Diablillos property and the final holes demonstrated that JAC is not closed off and yielded more high-grade intercepts:   JAC: Strong near-surface silver mineralization continues to expand the Mineral Resource growth potential, including: DDH 25-096: 57.0 metres (“m”) of 51 g/t silver from 109 m downhole DDH 25-099: 13.0 m of 477 g/t silver from 151 m downhole DDH 25-104: 17.0 m of 432 g/t silver & 1.10 g/t gold from 131 m downhole, including 6.0 m at 1,093 g/t silver & 2.42 g/t gold     We review how these results continue to expand oxide-hosted silver and gold mineralization to the southwest, along the corridor between JAC and Oculto.  Dave points out that prior results in this program also expanded mineralization to the east of the Oculto deposit, extending the high-grade gold zone and highlighting the continued strong exploration upside potential across the Diablillos system.   The exploration team now believes these higher-grade gold intercepts are just the top of a porphyry deposit at depth, and pointed to 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 Phase VI drill program to come.   John takes us through the busy year the company has in front of them due to a series of upcoming catalysts all the way though the end of 2026. The drilling data from Phase V will be compiled into an updated Resource Estimate that will come out in parallel with their Definitive Feasibility Study due out in the 2nd quarter of 2026.     Additionally, the Company is waiting on their EIA permits and RIGI approval, which will be the triggers for a decision to begin construction next year. John reiterates why the RIGI laws in Argentina are so economically advantageous to the Company, relaxing currency controls, reducing export duties to 0% over a couple years, and reducing taxation to 25% over a 30-year stability period.   Wrapping up John unpacks why all these catalysts will provide opportunities for the company to rerate higher, and he highlights the current valuation has the company is receiving, which is more in line with silver trading in the low $20s; which is stark contrast to spot silver prices trading well north of $100 an ounce.     If you have any follow up questions for John 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.   Click here to visit the AbraSilver website and read over the most recent news releases.   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.

Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources (TSX.V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF), joins us live from the AME Roundup to highlight the positive investor sentiment after attending 3 back-to-back Vancouver resource conferences.  Additionally, we dig into recent news released on the final 70 gold-only drill hole assays returned from last year's program, the pending assays for 110 multi-element results on all the 2025 drill holes, along with a number of corporate initiatives around not doing a share consolidation, on buying back the NSR from 3% down to 2%, and on fast-tracking its ownership in the Golddigger Property located in the Golden Triangle, B.C. that hosts the high-grade Surebet gold discovery from 49% to 100%.   Drill hole GD-25-319 intersected 19.13 g/t Au over 6.10 meters, including 22.86 g/t Au over 5.10 meters, including 29.09 g/t Au over 4.00 meters in quartz-sulphide veins, part of the Golden Gate Zone Assays are still pending for 110 drill holes from 2025 for multi-element gold equivalent (AuEq) results. These results will be released in the near future once all assays have been received, compiled and interpreted. 100% of the drill holes completed to date, have all intersected gold mineralization clearly demonstrating the remarkable continuity, grades, and widths in 5 Main Gold-Rich Zones comprising 46 mineralized lodes that remain open for expansion. Of the holes drilled during the 2025 campaign, 83 out of 110 holes (or 76%) contained visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE). The fully funded 2026 drill program will be mainly focused on expanding the 5 Main Mineralized Zones. Data compilation and interpretation is underway which will be used to vector in on the indicated Motherlode causative intrusive source to this extensive high grade gold system with widespread VG-NE.     As part of the transaction to J2 Syndicate Holdings Ltd. to acquire 100% ownership in the Golddigger Property, that Goliath is now set to publish a Maiden Resource Estimate (MRE) on the Golddigger Property before June, 1 2030 and on every 3 year anniversary of June 1,2030 thereafter vs. the prior requirement, in the original agreement, to publish the MRE by June 1, 2027.    Roger outlines the Company's rationale that it makes far more sense to keep expanding the mineralization with aggressive exploration programs, versus trying to pin down the MRE at this stage. He provides both positive examples of companies that have taken this route, versus the negative examples of companies that rushed to put out a MRE, only to fence themselves in with regards to valuations and market perceptions.   Wrapping up, we reviewed that in December cornerstone investors Rob McEwen and Crescat Capital increased their stakes in the company, as well as discussing the optionality that Goliath has with regards to their equity holdings of McEwen Inc shares which have essentially gone up about 3X since acquiring them.  In addition to future conversion of warrants from Rob McEwen, the (MUX) shares provide the option for more capital inflows into the company treasury to fund more exploration.   If you have any questions for Roger about Goliath Resources, then please email us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.     In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Goliath Resources at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Goliath Resources   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.

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has successfully completed the acquisition of the Berenguela silver-copper-manganese project. With the final payment obligation now fulfilled under the acquisition agreement between Aftermath Silver and SSR Mining, the transfer of ownership has been completed and Aftermath now holds a 100% interest in the Berenguela project. Rushton told Proactive that Berenguela represents Aftermath Silver's flagship asset and a cornerstone of the company's growth strategy. He explained that recent drilling programs have been primarily focused on infilling the historic mineral resource estimate (MRE), with the goal of upgrading inferred resources into the measured and indicated categories. This work supports a stronger technical foundation for future economic and development studies. A new mineral resource estimate was published in December, incorporating results from recent drilling and providing an updated view of the project's scale and grade potential. Building on this progress, Aftermath has now launched its Phase 3 drilling program at Berenguela, which is designed to advance the project on multiple fronts. The current drilling campaign is focused on three key objectives. First, the company is targeting untested areas in the eastern and southeastern zones of the known mineralization, where both historic drilling and the 2024–2025 drill program encountered notably high copper grades. These areas are considered highly prospective for resource expansion. Second, drilling is being carried out in areas identified as potential initial mining zones, with the intent of supporting future mine planning and complementary technical studies. Finally, subject to the completion of permitting, which Rushton noted is well advanced, the company plans to test the Southwest Intrusive target, a priority exploration area with potential to further enhance the overall resource base. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #SilverMining, #BerenguelaProject, #Mining #Silver #Copper #Manganese #Peru #DrillingResults #BatteryMetals #ResourceModel #Investing

Pre mladých je témou číslo jedna osamelosť. Nehovoríme o tom, čo nás naozaj trápi a čím vnútorne žijeme. Namiesto toho nosíme masky a snažíme sa napĺňať očakávania tých druhých. Tvrdí šéf internetovej poradne pre mladých IPčko Marek Madro. Podľa neho, my dospelí mládež sklamávame pretože im nevieme poskytnúť istoty, ale ani nádej a preto sa deti utiekajú k pochopeniu v online priestore. Výsledkom je prehlbujúca sa radikalizácia mládeže, ktorá môže vyústiť až do opakovania fatálneho násilia, varuje psychológ Madro.„Srdce je malá vec, ale žiada si veľké veci. Ono samo by nepostačilo mačiatku na obed, a predsa mu nie je dosť ani celý svet.“ Napísal svojho času Victor Hugo. Podobne je tomu u našich detí. Na jednej strane neustále verbálne deklarujeme, že deti sú pre nás - i pre celú našu spoločnosť, tou absolútnou prioritou, témou tém, soľou zeme ako i našou budúcnosťou či nádejou. Na strane druhej, v realite, môžeme vidieť ako neustále narastá počet detí, ktoré sužujú vážne psychické a duševné problémy či dokonca stoja na samej hrane voľby medzi životom a nebytím. Trápi ich strach zo zlyhania, obavy z toho, že sklamú očakávania a - na dnešnú dobu plnú modernej komunikačnej techniky, paradoxne až neuveriteľná osamelosť.Zároveň registrujeme i narastajúci radikalizmus mládeže, ktorý už aj tu - na Slovensku, niekoľkokrát udrel s brutálne vražednou silou. K tomu treba prirátať stále pretrvávajúci problém šikany, tlaku od vysoko polarizovanej a frustrovanej spoločnosti nás dospelákov, ako i zlyhávajúci a až zúfalo nedostatočný systém pomoci pre deti vo vážnych ba dokonca až existenciálnych problémoch, ktoré až pričasto balansujú na samej hrane života a smrti. Áno, ide presne o tie deti, ktoré inak tak radi verbálne označujeme za to najdôležitejšie, čo ako spoločnosť vôbec máme. Naše vlastné deti. Čo teda tieto naše deti a našu mládež skutočne trápi, vieme to vôbec? A ako im v tom vieme reálne pomôcť - indviduálne, ale aj ako celá spoločnosť? No a ako si poradiť s týmto obdobím veľkých očakávaní ale i stretov snov, očakávaní s neraz šedivou až krutou realitou - teda sviatkami?Nám sa množia príbehy detí, ktoré chcú riešiť to, čo sa im deje, tak, že upozornia svet tým, že niekomu inému ublížia. Len aktuálne riešime takmer 50 takýchto príbehov. Situácia je naozaj veľmi vážna a náš systém dostatočne nereflektuje na tieto potreby ako i výzvy. Mreže pri bráne ani kamery riešením ozaj nie sú, tým je len dlhodobá a systémová práca s rizikovými prípadmi mladých ľudí, hovorí šéf internetovej poradne pre mladých IPčko psychológ Marek Madro. https://ipcko.sk/ Témy dnešného Rána Nahlas s Marekom Madrom a Frederikou Hazeovou z internetovej poradne pre mladých IPčko. Pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

Pre mladých je témou číslo jedna osamelosť. Nehovoríme o tom, čo nás naozaj trápi a čím vnútorne žijeme. Namiesto toho nosíme masky a snažíme sa napĺňať očakávania tých druhých.

Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), joins me for a special video podcast including a comprehensive exploration update expanding upon the updated Resource Estimate of 6.5 million ounces of gold in all categories, from the combined Wenot and Gilt Creek Projects at the Company's 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America.   The Omai Property hosts two orogenic gold deposits: the shear-hosted Wenot Deposit and the adjacent intrusive-hosted Gilt Creek Deposit, with a combined updated MRE of:   2,121,000 ounces of gold (Indicated MRE),  averaging 2.07 g/t Au in 31.9Mt & 4,382,000 ounces of gold (Inferred MRE), averaging 1.95 g/t Au in 69.6Mt   Multiple drills have been turning up until this week, with over 79 drill holes that have been completed to date this year, totaling 35,300 meters from the current exploration program at the Omai Gold property.  All these coming drill assays released and still waiting on results from the lab will then factor into updated  project Resource Estimate that will be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in Q2 of 2026.     This updated Preliminary Economic Assessment will be building upon the prior PEA that was released in 2024, which was only on 45% of the mineral inventory focused on the open-pit at Wenot.  That prior PEA did not yet include rest of the resources there at Wenot, nor did it include the underground project economics Gilt Creek.  The updated PEA slated for early next year will be much more advanced and will factor in the combined economics of the open-pit at Wenot, and the underground at Gilt Creek, representing the value proposition of the total project more accurately.     Highlights from the recent drill holes include:   Hole 25ODD-142  (East Wenot) – 11.07 g/t Au over 14.7m, including 34.31 g/t Au over 4.3m   Hole 25ODD-145W  (Central Wenot) – 13.54 g/t Au over 13.3m, including 27.82 g/t Au over 6.2m, and including 63.17 g/t Au over 2.2m     Next we reviewed the results from the very long hole, over 2,000 meters in length, that was drilled through the underground deposit at Gilt Creek over into the area deep under the Wenot deposit.  The geological thesis held up proving that there is also deep sheer resources well below the known mineralization at Wenot.    Highlighted higher grade zones from the upper part of hole 25ODD–122w include:   1.06 g/t Au over 708.1 meters (from 364.9) includes:   1.78 g/t Au over 46.2m (from 635.6 downhole), which includes 4.88 g/t Au over 7.0m (from 566.3m) 1.32 g/t Au over 99.2m (from 702.0m), which includes 5.7 g/t Au over 8.0m (from 766.9m) 3.10 g/t Au over 24.0m (from 395.5m) 1.99 g/t Au over 32.0m (from 462.0m) 2.98 g/t Au over 17.8m (from 643.8m) 2.04 g/t Au over 43.2m (from 952.2m)      Wrapping up we discussed the company valuation compared to peers on a P/NAV basis, metallurgical testing, permitting process, and other derisking work on the Project, gathering data to be utilized in the upcoming PEA.   If you have any questions for Elaine regarding Omai Gold Mines, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to see the latest news from Omai Gold Mines.   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.

Kenorland Minerals CEO, Zach Flood, joined us to discuss the published maiden mineral resource estimate published this morning for the Regnault gold deposit on the Frotet Project in Quebec. Kenorland holds a 4% NSR royalty across the entirety of the Project, which is 100% owned and operated by Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada. The MRE shows an inferred  resource of 14.5 Mt with an average grade of 5.47 g/t Au for 2.55 Moz of gold.

Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins us to discuss the final set of diamond core drill assays, from this year's exploration program, stepping out into the Eastern Expansion area at their 100% owned Tonopah West project located in West-Central Nevada, United States.  The Eastern Expansion Program was a follow-up to the Company's reverse-circulation scout drill program at Tonopah West completed in February 2025, which showed significant potential to expand the DPB South resource area 1,200 metres in an easterly direction.   EASTERN EXPANSION PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:   At least three mineralized northwest oriented structures have been identified within the 1.2 kilometre eastern expansion trend running parallel to the Pittsburg-Monarch fault that suggest a series of footwall fault splays as opposed to a singular east-west structure; TXC25-173 cut 0.92 metres of 2,122.7 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) (1,162 g/t silver (Ag) & 8.79 g/t gold (Au)) from 220.9 metres, and a separate zone of 1.04 metres grading 534.8 g/t AgEq (189.8 g/t Ag & 3.16 g/t Au) from 215.5 metres; TXC25-178 drilled 6.4 metres of 296.6 g/t AgEq (135.7 g/t Ag & 1.47 g/t Au), including 0.46 metres of 3,853 g/t AgEq (1,771 g/t Ag & 19.06 g/t Au) from 183.8 metres in a north-south oriented structure within the M&I Conversion Area at DPB South; and Results from the Company's drill program targeting expansion potential across a one kilometre trend of vein corridor between the DPB and Northwest Step Out resource areas and the Eastern Expansion Program will be incorporated into an updated mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment on Tonopah West estimated to be completed in February 2026.   Andrew reiterates that the silver and gold mineralization at Tonopah West remains open to the northwest, east and internally between the main bodies of mineralization, as well as at depth.  He also highlights how this new understanding of the North-South orientation to mineralization in the Eastern Expansion area that will inform next year's follow up drilling.  We also discuss how with more drilling this area could be important earlier on in the mining development sequencing.   As it stands today, before all this expansion drilling gets included, the updated MRE released in September, based on just the M&I conversion drilling, 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.   We discussed that this Tonopah West Project really works even at far lower silver and gold prices due to the very high-grade nature of the deposit, and has excellent torque to rising metals prices.  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.  This actually keeps the proposed head grade at much higher levels than other peer development projects, once the economics and stope optimization process is factored in.   The Company is engaged in many derisking and development activities from hydrology and geotechnical drilling, to permitting, engineering, metallurgical studies, and this will all be factored into the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment due out in February of 2026.     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.   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.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we're joined by Gabe Vasquez, known on trail as "Wing It." Gabe is a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran, long-distance kayaker and cyclist, and the first known Mexican-American to complete the Triple Crown.  Gabe opens up about his time in the Marines and the challenges that followed- PTSD, becoming addicted to prescription meds to manage the PTSD in addition to anxiety and depression, losing friends to suicide after their service, and night terrors. In his efforts to heal, Gabe turned to adventure. He began by paddling the Mississippi with a friend, then took on a PCT thru-hike, followed by eight consecutive years of long-distance backpacking, paddling, and cycling. Gabe shares how that time in nature helped him reclaim his peace, and why he's happier today than he's ever been. Worth noting- this episode includes graphic descriptions of PTSD and suicide. If these topics are sensitive or triggering for you, please take care while listening. We wrap the show with news of a pair of fatal bear attacks near the Ozark Highlands Trail, a partially blind grandmother who thru-hiked the PCT- averaging nearly 40 miles a day in the process, the definitive etiquette around holding doors for strangers, and the triple crown of the worst phrases and expressions.

Andy’s Brave New World: Part 1 Ranger Andy survives, the apocalypse in Yosemite. Based on a post by the hospital. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels. Day 1, Yosemite National Park The park was busy with spring visitors when the first reports came in. Tourists coughing in the visitor center, a family requesting medical assistance at Upper Pines campground. Andy helped coordinate with the park's small medical team, radioing updates to other rangers. Standard protocol for illness in the park, nothing too concerning yet. That evening, things took a turn, with the news reporting an alarming spread of similar outbreaks across California, and the world. Possibly a new avian flu, they said. Day 2 Everything accelerated. Half the ranger staff called in sick. The small park clinic was overwhelmed. Andy helped organize an evacuation point at the visitor center, trying to get sick tourists to hospitals in Fresno or Modesto. His training kicked in, calm, professional, reassuring visitors even as his colleague Declan started coughing blood next to him. The ill began dying in droves. The park superintendent ordered all non-essential personnel to evacuate. Andy stayed, helping the remaining medical staff set up an impromptu care center in the lodge. By the evening, Andy felt a fever rise and was soon sweating through his clothes and coughing up a lung. He weakly barricaded himself in his cabin and prepared to die like the others. Day 3 The next morning, Andy woke to fine himself still alive, surprised to feel slightly better than the night before. He pulled himself out of his cabin and began his duties. The radio channels went quiet one by one. No response from Fresno hospitals. The lodge had become a morgue. He spent the morning doing rounds, checking campsites, finding mostly bodies or critically ill visitors who died within hours. By evening, he was the only ranger still moving around. He did his best to care for the sick and dying. Andy wasn't entirely sure if this was all just an awful dream. Day 4, Morning The cough remained in his chest that morning, but Andy forced himself to continue his rounds. The ranger truck's tires crunched over broken glass in the parking lot as he checked North Pines Campground. Most sites were abandoned, their occupants having fled days ago. Others contained what he couldn't let himself think about yet. His fevered brain kept switching between ranger protocol and survival instinct. Check each site. Document. Radio in-- no, the radio was silent now. Just static and occasional distant screams that were becoming less frequent. That's when he saw it, an expensive ultralight tent in millennial pink and gray, surrounded by matching gear that looked straight out of an R E I catalog. Too pristine, barely used. A small solar charger lay futilely pointed at the clouded sky. "Hello?" His voice was rough from coughing. "Ranger service. Anyone alive in there?" "Define 'alive,'" came a strained but steady voice, followed by a cough. Andy approached cautiously, unsnapping his holster out of habit though he knew he wouldn't need it. Inside, a young woman sat cross-legged in the tent entrance, her expensive Lululemon sports bra and high-waisted hiking shorts soaked through with fever sweat. Despite everything, the death, the horror, his own fever, Andy couldn't help noticing how the wet fabric clung to her curves. Her figure was exactly the type that dominated outdoor Instagram, slim waist, toned stomach, curved hips, the sports bra struggling to contain what was clearly meant to be shown off just enough to stay within platform guidelines. He tried to push the thoughts away and focus, but his eyes kept betraying him. She looked up at him with clear eyes, fever-bright but alert. Mixed Asian-white features that hit that perfect social media sweet spot, even through the fever, high cheekbones, full lips, almond-shaped hazel eyes. Her carefully highlighted hair was plastered to her neck, mascara smudged but intact, like she'd been maintaining her appearance out of sheer habit until the fever hit. A few light freckles stood out against her flushed skin. "I'm guessing the 'shelter in place' order isn't working out great for everyone else either?" "I'm Ranger Rhee. Andy," he said, noting how her hands trembled slightly as she reached for her water bottle. "You're sick, but; not like the others." "Sarah Chen-Mitchell," she managed between sips. "And yeah, I noticed. Been listening to people cough and die all night while I just sat here with what feels like a really bad flu. Not exactly the wilderness experience I was going for." Her attempt at humor was undercut by the raw edge in her voice. Andy saw her Instagram-ready camp setup, the coordinated cookware still in its packaging, the expensive camera carefully wrapped in a rain cover, the rose gold water bottle. "We need to get you somewhere safer. Can you walk?" "Yeah, just;" She stood unsteadily, unconsciously adjusting her sports bra, a reflexive gesture that seemed absurd given the circumstances. "My car's blocked in. I tried to leave but;" She gestured at the chaos of abandoned vehicles hemming in her pristine Subaru, many with now-deceased occupants. "Look, I've got medicine and supplies back at my ranger unit," Andy said. "Pack whatever clothes and valuables you need. Leave the camping gear, we can always come back for it if;" he trailed off, not sure how to end that sentence. "Right," Sarah said, still shivering slightly in her wet athletic wear. "I should probably change too." "Do you need help?" Andy asked, then immediately regretted how that might sound. "I mean, with packing. You seem pretty weak." "No, I've got it," Sarah said quickly, pulling herself more upright. "Just; give me a few minutes?" Despite everything, there was still a hint of self-consciousness in her voice. Andy nodded and stepped away from the tent. "Take your time. We're not exactly on a schedule anymore." He heard the tent zip closed, followed by the sounds of her moving around inside. The rustle of fabric as she changed. Multiple bags being opened and closed, more than strictly necessary for just grabbing essentials, he thought. A few quiet muttered comments to herself about what to take. The distinct sound of what had to be a hairbrush being used. Even now, even here, some habits die hard. Or maybe it was just her way of holding onto normalcy for a few more minutes. Andy stood guard, trying not to listen too closely to her movements, scanning the eerily quiet campground. A crow called somewhere nearby. The mountain air was cool and clean, carrying no hint of the devastation it had helped deliver. "Ready," Sarah called softly. The tent zipper opened and she emerged with a large designer backpack, now dressed in a black Alo Yoga tube top that showcased her toned shoulders and pushed up her cleavage, paired with high-waisted leggings that clung to every curve. Her face was scrubbed clean of makeup, but her dark hair was neatly brushed, falling in waves around her shoulders. The fever flush in her cheeks only enhanced her natural beauty, that calculated mix of exotic and approachable that had probably earned her thousands of followers. She caught Andy's gaze traveling over her body and gave a small, knowing shrug, arching her back slightly. "I know, I know. Not exactly survival wear. But it's what I brought for my Instagram hiking content, so;" She did a little pose, definitely more displaying than mocking now, the movement emphasizing her curves. Andy found himself watching much longer than he should, and her slight smile suggested that was exactly the response she'd wanted. "We can probably find you something more practical at the gear store," he managed, forcing his eyes back to her face. "Heavy duty pants, boots, proper rain gear." "Perfect," she smiled, her voice dropping slightly despite her obvious exhaustion. "Though I did bring some actually useful stuff." She knelt by her bag, the movement making Andy struggle to keep his eyes up. "Latest gen military water filter, my dad's company makes them for the marines. Handles way more volume than those little Life Straws. Satellite uplink that'll work even if the normal networks are down. And this;" She pulled out a sleek black device. "GoPro 12 with infrared. Not even on the market yet, I was supposed to demo it next month." Clean water for a larger group. Communications. Night operations. He tried not to sound too eager. "That; could all come in really handy." As they walked to his truck, both carefully kept their eyes forward, ignoring the abandoned cars and what lay inside them. Andy carried her bag despite her token protest, noticing how she stayed close to his side. "So," Sarah said once they were in the truck, adjusting the AC vent toward her flushed face. "How long have you been a ranger here?" The question seemed deliberately normal, almost absurdly so given the circumstances. "Three years here. Before that, two years at Joshua Tree." "Oh, I was just at Joshua Tree! That Hidden Valley trail at sunset, it was so beautiful." She spoke wistfully, her enthusiasm fading as the weight of everything they had experienced in the past three days settled back. Andy gestured at her bag. "Tell me about that gear, you said there was a satellite uplink?" "Right." Sarah dug through her bag, pulling out sleek boxes with military-style lettering. She started reading, her voice growing more confident as she went. "Okay, so this is a 'Starlink Tactical Ground Array', it's got four encrypted receiver units that can talk to each other from anywhere on Earth. Says here it can maintain 4G speeds even without ground infrastructure." She looked up. "Guess Dad's company wasn't just being paranoid with all this survivalist tech." "Wait, you mean that little thing has internet access? I don't see a satellite dish anywhere." "Yeah I think so. I think the array can mimic the behavior of a dish without actually needing one." "That's huge. We really need more information about what's going on." Andy said, feeling hopeful about something for the first time in days. She nodded and moved on to the water system. "This one's cool, processes up to 25 gallons per hour, removes everything down to 0.0001 microns. Works on chemical and biological agents too. If we can get some acid and lye we can keep reusing it forever." "And the camera?" Andy asked. "Let's see; Military-grade infrared imaging, 4K resolution in complete darkness, range up to;" she squinted at the manual. "Thermal detection at 200 meters." "Could probably rig that into a decent night sight," Andy mused, then caught himself. Sarah glanced at his holstered pistol, then out at the empty park road. After a long pause, she cleared her throat and went back to the manual, her voice quieter. "It's got some kind of A I field-of-view system too;" Day 4, Evening After getting Sarah settled at his unit, Andy continued searching for survivors and checking on the dying. Near the clinic, he found Miguel Martinez slumped against a supply cabinet, still in his blood-stained uniform but maintaining his ramrod-straight Marine posture even now. The room around him showed signs of his final efforts, organized medical supplies, careful notes on symptoms, a log of those he'd tried to help. He looked up weakly from his notebook when Andy arrived. "Rhee." Miguel's voice was barely a whisper. "You made it. Figured you might. Always had the look." "Miguel," Andy started, but the older ranger cut him off with a weak wave. "Save it. Listen. Daniela's following protocol at home. She got sick two days ago. But she's stronger. Already sounding better on the radio this morning. She must be immune, like you, alaba al Señor". Immune. Were they immune? The idea hit Andy like a truck. Andy knew Daniela, had helped train her on basic ranger procedures, watched her grow up these past three years. Though only fourteen, her prepper father had subject her to a rigorous marine-style training regimen that made her an extremely competent survivalist. She'd always seemed almost comically over-prepared, showing up to basic first aid training with a full combat medical kit. If there was anyone left to laugh, they wouldn't be now. "Her isolation ends tomorrow morning," Miguel continued. "She knows what to do, but;" Another coughing fit wracked him, blood spattering his arm. "She'll need;" He grabbed Andy's wrist with surprising strength. "You take care of her. After. Promise me." "If it comes to that. I swear." Andy attempted a smile. "Although, she might be the one taking care of me in the end." Miguel chuckled softly. Andy tried to help Miguel up, but the older ranger shook his head. "Too late for me. Already tried everything here. Nothing helps. Just;" He pulled himself straighter. "Just let me finish my notes. Document everything. Might help someone." Andy nodded, throat tight. He gripped Miguel's hand one more time, and they looked each other in the eyes. He gave Miguel a solemn nod, and headed to the Martinez cabin. Through a small clear section in the sealed window, he could see Daniela's silhouette moving around inside, her survival supplies arranged with precision. Just like her father had taught her. "Daniela?" he called softly. She approached the window, and even through the plastic he could see the fever flush in her cheeks. But her voice was strong, clear. "Ranger Rhee. Status report: began showing symptoms approximately 36 hours ago. Fever peaked at 101.2 last night. Currently maintaining isolation." A pause. "Dad mentioned you were coming." "Seems you're also OK, like me. I found another survivor too." Daniela nodded, processing. "Isolation ends at 0600 tomorrow. That's when Dad's supposed to come get me, " Her voice caught. "Is; is dad;? I haven't asked, but; he sounds really weak right now." "We'll see. He's not looking great to be honest, Daniela. I'm sorry." The poor girl tried to maintain composure but Andy could see her eyes well up. She turned away briefly, then turned back. When she spoke again, her voice was wavered slightly. "I'll maintain quarantine until morning." "Are you sure you don't want to go see him? You seem OK, I don't think it would hurt." She shook her head "No. I'll talk to him on the radio. Protocol is protocol." "OK. I'll come get you at six." Andy headed back to his cabin, to Sarah, the weight of Miguel's last watch at the clinic and his daughter's words falling on his shoulders. Tomorrow morning would come too soon, and not soon enough. Day 4, Late Night The commissary had been eerily quiet, its automatic doors frozen half-open. Andy had gathered what he could, protein bars, dried fruit, bottles of water. The walk back to his cabin felt longer than usual, each shadow holding the potential for another body, another victim. He saw the Starlink array before he reached his door, a sleek black apparatus that looked more like a piece of modern art than military hardware. Sarah had positioned the nodes in a complex nested arrangement. Andy was mildly impressed, it looked precisely done. The cabin door creaked slightly as he pushed it open. "Sarah, I got some-" He stopped short. She was curled up in his bed, wrapped in her sleeping bag despite the warmth of the evening. Her face was peaceful in sleep, the fever flush finally fading from her cheeks. Her dark hair spilled across his pillow, and he noticed she'd changed into a pale pink Alo Yoga tank top that looked brand-new. The transformation from her carefully curated daytime appearance was striking. She looked younger, more vulnerable. Andy set the supplies down as quietly as he could and backed out of the cabin. She needed the rest more than she needed food right now. Outside, his phone buzzed, the first notification he'd received in days. The Starlink array hummed softly, its status light steady green. He pulled out his phone with slightly trembling hands and watched as notifications began flooding in. Email. Twitter. News alerts. The world outside the park still existed apparently, somehow. He sat heavily in one of the wooden chairs on his small porch, opened his laptop, and began downloading the prepper manuals Miguel had mentioned so many times, "Emergency Protocols for Systemic Collapse", "Catastrophic Event Recovery, Reference Encyclopedia" and "Technology Bootstrapping, How to Restart Industrial Society". The download started immediately, the normalcy of a digital download almost shocking after days of internet silence. Then he opened Twitter, and his breath caught in his throat. The feed was sparse but active. Scattered voices calling out from around the world, trying to find others. A woman in Seattle reporting that her entire family had survived. A doctor in Mumbai documenting recovery rates. A thread from the CDC, last updated two days ago, describing it as an avian flu with aerosol human-human and human-bird transmission, confirming what Miguel had alluded to, some people got deathly ill, a tiny fraction just got sick and recovered, and there seemed to be no pattern to it. Someone, a software engineer in Morocco, according to the about page, had anticipated the grid's imminent collapse and created a simplified Twitter clone called Beacon. It apparently ran on a solar-powered home server farm with redundant battery backups, designed specifically to operate via Starlink. The site was bare-bones but functional: just a global chronological feed, basic search, hashtags, geotags, and posts limited to 280 characters. One tweet from a virologist caught his eye: "Preliminary data suggests  roughly a point 8% survival rate globally. Fascinating gender disparity, female survivors outnumbering male 7 to 1. Genetic factor? Hormonal? Need more data." Andy scrolled through location tags, trying to piece together the scale of it. The posts from major cities painted a chaotic picture, hundreds of survivors in New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, but all isolated, scattered across vast urban landscapes. No real organization yet, just desperate attempts to connect. "Anyone alive near Brooklyn Heights?" "S O S from Miracle Mile L A, have supplies, need medical." "Twenty survivors at Pudong Hospital Shanghai, seeking others." The shock was still fresh, the posts raw with grief and disbelief. Nobody was talking about rebuilding yet. They were still counting their losses. The manuals finished downloading, and Andy forced himself to close Twitter. He needed to focus on what he could control, keeping Sarah and Daniela alive, gathering supplies, and getting out of Yosemite to a more major population center. The wider world would still be there tomorrow, whatever was left of it. He looked up at Half Dome, now silvered by moonlight. The ancient granite face was unchanged, indifferent to the apocalypse that had just played out beneath it. Somewhere in the darkness, coyotes began to howl, a sound that had always made the park feel wild and untamed. Now it felt like a reminder: nature was already moving on, reclaiming what had briefly been borrowed. Andy opened the survival manual's PDF, finding the section on "Social Collapse and Communication Strategies." The manual laid out different strategies based on mortality rates, 30%, 50%, 70%, 90%, 99%. With a grimace, he scrolled to the 99% section. "In the immediate aftermath of a >99% mortality event, social structures will be broadly erased and surviving population density will be too low for the immediate formation of antagonistic groups. Unlike smaller-scale disasters where existing social structures remain partially intact, catastrophic collapse temporarily eliminates the organizational capacity for coordinated action, hostile or otherwise. Survivors in the first weeks will be focused on immediate personal survival. During this brief window, other survivors can generally be trusted to be cooperative and helpful, as the shared experience of massive loss promotes prosocial behavior." The manual continued, further down: "Warning: This cooperative phase is temporary. As basic survival needs are met, humans will inevitably begin forming new social groups, 'tribes,' and power structures to replace those lost. Competition for resources will resume once excess pre-collapse supplies have been exhausted. Early contact and alliance formation during the cooperative phase is essential for long-term survival." Upon reading this, Andy elected to make the following post on twitter: "Ranger Andy Rhee, Yosemite National Park. Three possibly immune, North Pines/Ranger housing. Food plentiful, limited medical. Starlink operational. Main roads clear, helicopter landing sites available. Will monitor channel here & @Beacon." He followed it up with a post linking the survival manuals. He then switched to Beacon, created an account, and made the same posts. A slight rustling from inside the cabin drew his attention back to their immediate situation. He quietly stepped inside, retrieving the digital thermometer from his first aid kit. Sarah stirred slightly as he approached but didn't wake when he gently pressed the thermometer to her temple. 99 point 1, much better than this morning. He checked his own temperature next: 98 point 9. Their mild cases seemed to be resolving as quickly as they'd come on. He set his phone alarm for 5:30AM, enough time to get to Daniela's cabin by six as promised. The couch wasn't particularly comfortable, but he'd slept in far worse places. As he settled in with a spare blanket, his ranger training kicked in, categorizing the night sounds filtering through the cabin walls. Crickets. An owl. The distant yip of coyotes. Normal sounds. Safe sounds. The last thing he saw before drifting off was the green status light of the Starlink array through the window, blinking steadily like a new kind of star. The group assesses their situation, plans to leave Yosemite. Day 5, Pre-Dawn The alarm's buzz jolted Andy awake, but another sensation immediately registered, the rich aroma of fresh coffee. Sarah was curled up in his reading chair, scrolling through her phone, but as soon as she heard him stir, she immediately switched it off and turned her full attention to him. She'd changed into a new Alo Yoga set, a lavender sports bra under a white cropped tank, paired with high-waisted leggings in a matching shade. Her hair was pulled back in a messy-but-somehow-perfect bun, showing off her neck and shoulders. The fever flush was completely gone, replaced by her natural warm complexion. "Morning," she said warmly, uncurling from the chair with a practiced, fluid grace. "Made coffee. The fancy pour-over kind I found in your kitchen. Hope that's okay." Her hazel eyes met his, lingering just a moment too long as she took in his rumpled ranger uniform. "Sorry about commandeering your bed. I just meant to take a quick nap." She gave him an apologetic smile. Andy accepted the steaming mug she offered, trying not to notice how the morning light played across her toned body. "No problem. I'm used to sleeping rough. Comes with the job." Sarah tucked her legs under her on the couch next to him. The expensive fabric of her leggings caught the light as she moved, and she settled slightly closer than necessary, her knee just barely brushing his thigh. "I need to head out in about thirty minutes," Andy said, checking his phone. "There's another survivor at the park. A ranger's daughter. Her quarantine period ends at six." Sarah's eyes lit up. "Wait, really? Someone else made it?" She sat straight. "Yes. Daniela. She's fourteen, Miguel's daughter, one of our senior rangers. He;" Andy paused, remembering Miguel's final words. "He's not gonna make it." He took a deep breath. "Miguel was a big prepper. He made sure Daniela would be ready for anything. Kid's probably better prepared for this than me, honestly. He was ex-Marine, trained her in everything, survival skills, firearms, emergency medicine. I've seen her take apart and reassemble a rifle blindfolded." Sarah's eyebrows rose. "Fourteen? God." Her expression softened. "Must have been intense, growing up like that. Learning survival stuff instead of just; being a kid." "Miguel was," Andy searched for the right words. "He was paranoid I guess. We used to joke about his 'disaster preparedness' lectures." He snorted gently, irony in his voice. "And her mom?" "Passed away years ago, while Daniela was a child. Aneurysm." Andy took another sip of coffee. "Miguel basically raised her alone." Sarah held her coffee mug, pulling her legs toward her and wrapping her arms around them. "Damn, she's been through a lot already, huh? I hope she's alright." She glanced down at her designer workout wear and gave a small, self-aware smile. "Well, we should probably get ready to meet our teenage survival expert. Think she'll judge my completely impractical apocalypse wardrobe?" Andy couldn't help but smile. "Probably." He paused, then added, "Have you found Beacon yet? The Twitter alternative?" "Yeah, I was just reading through it earlier," Sarah leaned forward, coffee forgotten. "There's a virologist who's been collecting data. Says survival seems almost completely random, except for this weird seven-to-one female-to-male ratio and a slight correlation with genetic relatedness,, like if your sister survived, you had maybe a tiny bit higher chance. But besides that;" She shook her head. "No pattern. Not health status, not location or exposure level, or ethnicity, not even age. Just random genetic lottery. Either your b-cells already make the right antibodies, or they don't. I'd guess there's actually some correlation with age like there is with any disease, old immune people might still die from the mild flu symptoms we had. But; well," she sighed. "I doubt enough people are surviving in the first place right now to get that kind of data." Andy raised an eyebrow. She caught his look and shrugged, waving her hand casually. "I'm a biology major. Molecular cell biology. We learned some of this stuff last year." She continued, "Anyway, other than that it was mostly random people and groups asking for help, or offering help. It seems like all our old governments, systems, whatever, they're all gone." "Yeah. It's a whole new world out there." Andy said. "Have you thought about posting anything?" "I wasn't sure if it would be safe," Sarah admitted. "Announcing our location." "Actually," Andy said, "I already made a post last night. I was able to download survival manuals last night and they had an interesting take on it, right after something this catastrophic, people are still in shock, focused on basic survival. They don't have the resources or organization yet to be really dangerous. It's actually the best time to make contact, before people start forming new power structures and competing for resources and territory." "I see," Sarah said, working through the implications. "So what did you post?" "Just the basics. That there were survivors at Yosemite, that we have Starlink, medical supplies. That the roads are clear if anyone needs to reach us. Links to the same survival manuals." He took another sip of coffee. "Figured we should make connections while people are still helping each other." Sarah's lips curved slightly into a soft grin. "So, if you'd found me a few weeks from now, you wouldn't have been so friendly?" "Hey, don't ask me," Andy raised his hands in mock defense. "The manual knows best. Apparently I'm destined to become dangerous and territorial any day now." "Guess I met you at just the right time then," she said softly, her eyes meeting his for a moment before looking away. A quiet moment passed between them, the morning sun slowly brightening the cabin. "Where are you studying?" Andy asked, then caught himself. "Or; were you studying?" Sarah's face flickered with something complicated. "Was. Am? I;" She took a breath. "Biology at UCLA. Second year." Her voice grew quiet. "I kept searching Beacon for anyone from campus, but; nothing yet." Day 5, Morning Daniela was already sitting outside on a bench by the cabin when they arrived, military-surplus backpack at her feet, a shotgun slung over her shoulder, dressed in practical outdoor wear that made Sarah look especially out of place. She stood as they approached. Her dark hair was pulled back in a tight, no-nonsense braid, and she sat with straight-backed posture, almost too straight, like she was holding herself together through sheer will. "Ranger Rhee," she said crisply, standing as they approached. She let her eyes drift to Sarah, taking in the expensive athleisure wear and aggressively feminine curves with a quick, assessing glance that held equal parts teenage girl's envy and survival expert's dismissal. "Daniela, this is Sarah," Andy said. "She's another survivor, immune like us." Daniela gave a short nod, then launched into what felt like a rehearsed speech. "Status report: fever peaked at 101.2 three days ago, now normal temperature for 48 hours. No remaining symptoms." She gestured to her pack, her words coming slightly too fast. "I've assembled primary survival gear, in case we need to leave in a hurry. Secondary cache inside includes a hand-crank radio set, four topographical maps of Yosemite and surrounding regions, California road atlas with marked backup routes, water filtration system, three weeks of MRE, six hundred feet of para-cord in various thickness, four heavy-duty tarps." She took a quick breath, her rehearsed rhythm barely faltering. "We also have a weapons cache. One Remington 700 bolt-action with scope and 1000 rounds, one Mossberg 500 shotgun with 1000 shells, four Glock 19s with 1000 rounds of 9mm, two semi-automatic AR-15s with 5000 total rounds. RPG-7 with eight rockets. Two cases each of fragmentation grenades and flashbangs. Ten pounds of C4 with detonators. A dozen anti-personnel and anti-vehicle mines." Andy's eyes widened at the arsenal, and Sarah let out a quiet "wow." Daniela continued at top speed without acknowledging their reactions. "Two sets of Level IV body armor with trauma plates. Four tactical vests. Medical supplies organized by emergency type. Dad's old paper survival guides and field manuals. Solar oven. Basic vegetable seed packets. Shortwave radio. Antibiotics." She paused. "And a sewing machine. Manual one. For repairs." That last item seemed to crack her professional veneer slightly. She looked at Andy, her carefully maintained composure slipping. "Have you; have you seen my dad since;? He; he hasn't been responding." Andy's expression told her everything before he could speak. "Not since the clinic," he said softly. Daniela's chin trembled once, but she snapped back into her military bearing so quickly it was painful to watch, like a child playing soldier to keep the monsters away. Her voice was smaller but desperately steady when she spoke again. "What's our next move, sir?" Andy stroked his chin, considering his words carefully. "I've only got the broad strokes of a plan right now. We've got internet at my cabin, Sarah brought a military-grade Starlink array." He gave Daniela a quick overview of what they'd learned: the devastating global death toll, the seemingly random pattern of who lived and died. He mentioned the scattered posts they'd seen on Beacon, survivors in major cities trying to connect, the complete collapse of traditional infrastructure. "Here's what I'm thinking," he continued, in an attempted measured tone. "We can't stay in Yosemite. Winter's going to be tough up here, isolated, we could probably survive if we stay indoors and eat canned food or whatever we can hunt the whole time but what would that get us? We wouldn't be any closer to setting up a long term settlement, even with your father's preparations;" He paused, careful with his words. "We need to find more people. We need to probably get to a major population center. More people means more survivors means more knowledge, more resources, better chances of rebuilding something sustainable." Daniela nodded, her expression suggesting she'd already run similar calculations. "I'd say we take a day or two here first," Andy added. "Sweep the park a few more times for survivors. Gather whatever useful supplies we can find from the stores, visitor centers, other ranger stations." "Ok, that makes sense. Where's my dad?" Daniela said quietly. Andy didn't hesitate. "He's at the clinic. East wing, near the supply cabinets. Do you want us to come with you?" She shook her head. "I'll go by myself." She was already turning to leave. Andy watched her go, knowing that splitting up wasn't ideal but reasoning that the park was likely empty now except for them, and with her confident shotgun slung over her shoulder, she could probably take care of herself. "Meet us back at my cabin later," he called after her. "And keep an eye out for any large trucks or gas canisters while you're out. We'll be checking the valley store," he added. "See what we can salvage." Sarah spoke up. "I'm really glad to meet you, Daniela. It's; it's good to have another girl alive." She gave a small self-deprecating smile. "I'm obviously not as prepared as you, but; I'll do my best to not be a burden." Daniela merely nodded, wearing a worried, distant expression, and headed off toward the clinic, her stride purposeful but tense. Day 5, Morning The morning air was crisp as they headed toward the valley store, Half Dome looming above them in the clear sky. Sarah walked close to Andy's side, her earlier morning quietness replaced by an almost nervous energy. "She's so; composed," Sarah said, shaking her head in wonder. "I mean, she's cataloging military-grade weapons like she's reading a shopping list." She adjusted her designer backpack, suddenly self-conscious. "Did you see how she looked at me? I swear I could hear her mentally calculating how quickly I'd die in the wilderness." The path narrowed between some fallen trees and Sarah stepped ahead, her juicy curves swaying hypnotically as she walked. Andy gave in and let himself watch, taking in how her expensive leggings showcased her plump rear and hips rolling side to side with each step. Her ass was built for likes more than functionality but no less captivating for it. "You know, she's not actually hating on you," he said, forcing his attention back to their conversation. "She just processes everything as tactical information, it's how Miguel trained her. Analyzing strengths, weaknesses, capabilities." Sarah tucked a strand of highlighted hair behind her ear. "An RPG though? Like, an actual bazooka? Does he expect to fight a freaking tank?" "Maybe. I wouldn't put it past him." Andy replied with a shrug. "But explosives actually have a lot of use besides tanks you know. If you need to blow up a wall or car someone is hiding behind for example. In war, you're often running out of RPGs before you run out of bullets." Sarah paused, considering. "Where does a park ranger even get that kind of stuff anyway?" "Miguel had connections from his Marine days. Never talked about them much." "God, poor kid." Sarah's voice softened. "All that training, and she still lost him anyway." She was quiet for a moment, then added, "At least she knows what to do now. I'm totally useless here." Andy glanced at her. "Hey, you brought the Starlink. And the filtration system. That's not nothing." "Yeah, but I wasn't even planning to use them." She gave a small, self-deprecating laugh. "I didn't even know how they worked until yesterday. I was just supposed to make them look good in pictures." They rounded a bend in the path, the store's entrance coming into view. Sarah slowed slightly, her voice more thoughtful. "You know when Daniela was listing all that gear, there was something about the sewing machine. Do you think it was her mom's?" Andy nodded. "It was just;" She trailed off, searching for words. "Like for a second the whole soldier act dropped, and she was just a kid who lost her parents." Andy nodded, remembering the slight tremor in Daniela's voice at that moment. They reached the store's entrance, its glass doors standing partially open. Sarah instinctively moved closer to Andy's side as they faced the quiet and empty building. The morning light streamed through the store's high windows and skylights, illuminating neat aisles of outdoor gear and camping supplies. Everything was still in its place, the pandemic had moved too quickly for panic buying or looting. The store felt frozen in time, like its staff had simply stepped out for lunch and never returned. "Boots and outdoor gear are in the back left," Andy said, gesturing. "Look for something waterproof, with good ankle support. And grab some proper hiking pants, the kind with zip-off legs and plenty of pockets. I'm going to check our food supplies in the storage room." Sarah nodded, already moving toward the clothing section. "I'll try to channel my inner Daniela. No more Instagram fashion choices." Andy headed to the back of the store, past rows of camping equipment and climbing gear. The storage room door was locked, but a few solid swings with the fire axe he'd retrieved from its wall mount made short work of the deadbolt. Inside, he swept his gaze across rows of shelves stacked with boxes and crates. His shoulders relaxed as he took inventory, hundreds of cans of chili, soup, and vegetables. Sealed packages of dried fruits and trail mix. Energy bars by the case. Enough preserved food to feed a small group for months, maybe longer if they rationed carefully. Way more than they could possibly take with them. Returning to the main area, Andy methodically selected gear from the high-end section, a rugged Carhartt jacket, some water-resistant hiking pants, and a pair of well-reviewed Merrell boots to supplement his ranger gear. He grabbed a Leatherman Wave+ multi-tool, a pair of Vortex binoculars, and several high-end headlamps and lanterns with spare batteries. Making his way to the women's section, he found Sarah studying her reflection in a full-length mirror. She'd changed into a pair of olive-green tactical pants that, despite their utilitarian design, hugged her curves perfectly where they cinched at her waist. A cropped camo compression top showed off her toned midriff while providing actual support and protection. Black Salomon hiking boots replaced her pristine Nikes, and an Arc'teryx jacket in sleek black completed the ensemble. She'd managed to find gear that was both practical and flattering, the pants especially seemed designed to enhance rather than hide her natural assets. She turned slightly, checking the fit from different angles. "What do you think?" she asked, adjusting the jacket. "The pants are actually really comfortable. And this top breathes really well." She moved through a few stretches, testing the range of motion, the gear moving naturally with her body, causing her ample bust to jiggle pleasantly. Andy tried not to stare. "Those boots are perfect," Andy said, nodding approvingly. "Salomon makes some of the best. They'll last for years if you take care of them." Sarah bent down to grab another small pile of clothes from the floor. "I grabbed some things for Daniela too." "Good idea. How do you know what size she is?" Andy asked, eyeing the stack of clothing. Sarah laughed, a glint in her eyes. "Trust me, I can tell. It's a girl thing." She folded the clothes with efficiency, tucking them into a rugged canvas duffel bag and her new backpack. "Plus, everything I picked has adjustable waists and drawstrings. She'll be able to make it work." Day 5, Evening The crackling of the campfire filled the silence between them as they sat in front of Andy's cabin, the flames casting flickering shadows across their faces. Steam rose from their bowls of rehydrated beef stew. Daniela sat cross-legged on a log, her new pants and boots looking almost too perfect, still creased from their packaging. Her dark hair was pulled back in a fresh braid, but a few strands had escaped during the day's labor, clinging to her neck. Her spoon moved mechanically from bowl to mouth, her expression distant and detached. The blisters on her hands from digging the grave were hidden beneath fingerless gloves. Sarah sat on a camp chair, somehow making even that look graceful. She'd changed into black leggings and an oversized ranger station sweatshirt she'd found, her hair pulled up in a messy bun. Her eyes kept flicking to Daniela. Each time she caught herself watching too long, she'd look away quickly, taking small, careful bites of her stew. Andy was hunched over his phone, the light illuminating his face as he scrolled through Beacon posts. The Starlink array hummed softly behind them, its status lights reflecting off the cabin windows. "More reports coming in from the Bay Area," he said finally, breaking the silence. "Sounds like they're organizing some kind of central meeting point in San Francisco. Using the Presidio as a base camp." Sarah nodded, seizing the conversation attempt. "Makes sense. I've been there before. It's really pretty." Daniela continued eating mechanically, showing no response. The fire popped loudly, sending up a shower of sparks. Daniela's hand dropped down to her holster before she realized what she was doing, then went back to her food. Her face remained carefully blank, but her knuckles whitened around her spoon. Sarah's eyes met Andy's over the fire. She opened her mouth as if to say something, then closed it again, turning her attention back to her own bowl. Andy set his phone down, choosing his words carefully. "We should probably talk about where we're heading. We've got some options to consider." Sarah chimed in again. "Yeah, like you said, the Bay Area seems to be organizing faster than anywhere else," she offered. "And my parents live in Palo Alto." She let the thought hang unfinished. "L A is an option, too;" Andy said, for now trying to brush past thoughts of Sarah's lost loved ones, and by extension his own as well. "More spread out, might be easier to find supplies. And Sarah you know the area pretty well I assume?" She nodded. He continued, thoughtful. "The Central Valley has farming potential, but no real organization showing up yet. Portland and Seattle are possibilities, but that's a long trek north. If we want to go south, Vegas and Phoenix also exist." The logo of Fallout New Vegas appeared in his mind's eye. "South is out," Daniela spoke suddenly, her voice flat. "Can't farm without major irrigation infrastructure. Nobody's maintaining those systems anymore." It was the most she'd said since returning from the clinic. Andy nodded. "True. We could probably gather enough fuel to make it across the country if we wanted to risk it, but;" "That's a lot of unknown territory to cover," Sarah finished. She pulled out her phone, scrolling through Beacon posts. "Though from what I'm seeing, the East Coast isn't doing any better than we are. Maybe worse, winter is coming." "The cold and snow would be a major disadvantage," Daniela said, her voice taking on the precise tone she used when reciting her father's lessons. "Increased resource consumption, limited farming windows, higher risk of mechanical failures in vehicles and equipment." She set her empty bowl aside. "California's the logical choice. Better climate, more stable growing seasons." "Agreed," Andy said. Daniela seemed to find stability in talking about this. "So that brings us back to L A versus the Bay." "The Bay Area is the only logical choice between the two." Daniela began ticking points off on her fingers, echoing discussions that had happened many times before. "The peninsula provides natural defensive positions. Multiple deep-water harbors for future maritime operations. Significantly more unpaved space for urban agriculture compared to the L A concrete sprawl." She continued briskly. "Plus, direct river access to the Central Valley farming regions around Stockton, where there's plenty of water for farming. From L A, you'd have to cross the Transverse Ranges to get to Bakersfield- that's a major liability for supply lines." Her voice took on an edge of disdain. "And farming that far south in the Valley isn't going to be viable anymore anyway, they're almost as reliant on irrigation as Phoenix or Las Vegas." She shook her head decisively. "The L A positioning is completely unsustainable. Anyone there should be evacuating to the Bay immediately." Andy nodded slowly, impressed but not surprised by the depth of analysis. He'd seen this level of preparation in everything Miguel and Daniela did. He glanced at Sarah, eyebrows raised in silent question. Sarah gave one of her small, self-deprecating smiles. "Don't look at me for expertise. The most strategic thinking I've ever done is planning photoshoots." She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "But Daniela's logic makes perfect sense. I mean, it's clearly been; thoroughly thought through." "The Bay it is then," Andy said, straightening up. "We should take two days to prepare; we can stock up on food, supplies, and then pick cars. There are plenty of abandoned vehicles in the valley, we'll need time to find the right ones and load them properly. It's not a long drive, but we should be thorough." He looked between them both. "We leave in three days." To be continued. Based on a post by the hospital, for Literotica.

Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold Mines (TSX.V: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), joined me live at the New Orleans Investment Conference last week on November 4th, for a comprehensive exploration update expanding upon the updated Resource Estimate of 6.5 million ounces of gold in all categories, from the combined Wenot and Gilt Creek Projects at the Company's 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America.   The Omai Property hosts two orogenic gold deposits: the shear-hosted Wenot Deposit and the adjacent intrusive-hosted Gilt Creek Deposit, with a combined updated MRE of: 2,121,000 ounces of gold (Indicated MRE),  averaging 2.07 g/t Au in 31.9Mt & 4,382,000 ounces of gold (Inferred MRE), averaging 1.95 g/t Au in 69.6Mt   Multiple drills are still turning with 64 drill holes that have been completed to date this year on the Omai property; totaling 30,297 meters of the targeted 40,000 meters from the current exploration program.  All these coming drill assays will then factor into updated  project Resource Estimate that will be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in Q1 of 2026.     This updated Preliminary Economic Assessment will be building upon the prior PEA that was released in 2024, which was only on 45% of the mineral inventory focused on the open-pit at Wenot.  That prior PEA did not yet include rest of the resources there at Wenot, nor did it include the underground project economics Gilt Creek.  The updated PEA slated for early next year will be much more advanced and will factor in the combined economics of the open-pit at Wenot, and the underground at Gilt Creek, representing the value proposition of the total project more accurately.   Elaine also highlighted some recent regional drilling completed at two near-surface exploration targets that were identified from trenching, geophysics and historical data. Assays are reported for 11 drill holes totalling 2,615m with 6 holes on the BBH target and 5 holes from the Camp Zone.   Highlights from the recent exploration holes include:   BBH Target Hole 25ODD-131 - intercepted 20.33 g/t Au over 5.30m, including 35.61 g/t Au over 3m   Camp Zone Target Hole 25ODD-135 – intercepted 2.72 g/t Au over 16.30m, including 9.05 g/t Au over 4m Hole 25ODD-136 – intercepted 2.05 g/t Au over 7.50m, including 11.32 g/t Au over 1m Hole 25ODD-138 – intercepted 0.85 g/t Au over 12.70m, including 1.32 g/t Au over 6m   Next we reviewed the status on the very long hole, over 2,000 meters in length, that was drilled through the underground deposit at Gilt Creek over into the area deep under the Wenot deposit, where the geological thesis is that there could also be deep sheer resources well below the known mineralization.  We discuss how this hole did finally encounter ~260 meters of sheer mineralization at depth, proving the thesis, but that the hole was still being processed at the assay lab.    Wrapping up we discussed the metallurgical testing, permitting process, and other derisking work on the Project, gathering data to be utilized in the upcoming PEA.   If you have any questions for Elaine regarding Omai Gold Mines, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to see the latest news from Omai Gold Mines.   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.

In this episode of Exploring Mining, host Cali Van Zant interviews Ross McElroy, CEO of Apollo Silver Corp. (TSXV: APGO | OTCQB: APGOF), following the company's successful $26.8 million capital raise—delivering over two years of financial runway to accelerate the Calico silver project in San Bernardino County, Southern California, home to the largest undeveloped silver resource in the United States. Ross talks about potential fund deployment: initiating preliminary economic studies in 2026, expanding exploration along newly acquired claims adjacent to the Calico fault. Highlights include geological parallels between the Waterloo and Langtry deposits. Ross positions San Bernardino County as "Open for Business" mining jurisdiction in the US: boasting 90 active operations, including MP Materials' rare earth mine and Equinox Gold's Castle Mountain, supported by pro-development county leadership, and alignment with federal critical minerals priorities. With silver comprising 75–80% of Calico's value alongside zinc, barite, and gold we discuss MRE updates and more. With a bullish outlook on silver prices, we discuss recent precious metals pullbacks as prime buying opportunities. Tune in for actionable insights on silver exploration, and what's next for Apollo SilverAbout Apollo Silver Corp.Apollo is advancing one of the largest undeveloped primary silver projects in the US. The Calico Silver Project hosts a large, bulk minable silver deposit with significant barite and zinc credits – recognized as critical minerals essential to the US energy and medical sectors. The Company also holds an option on the Cinco de Mayo Project in Chihuahua, Mexico, which is host to a major carbonate replacement (CRD) deposit that is both high-grade and large tonnage. Led by an experienced and award-winning management team, Apollo is well positioned to advance the assets and deliver value through exploration and development.

Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins me to discuss the first set of diamond core drill assays stepping out in the Eastern Expansion drill program, at their 100% owned Tonopah West project located in West-Central Nevada, United States.  The Eastern Expansion Program was a follow-up to the Company's reverse-circulation scout drill program at Tonopah West completed in February 2025, which showed significant potential to expand the DPB South resource area 1,200 metres in an easterly direction.   EASTERN EXPANSION PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:   TXC25-166 cut 5.03 metres grading 750 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) (306.8 g/t silver (Ag) & 4.06 g/t gold (Au)) from 165.2 metres, including 1.83 metres grading 1,661 g/t AgEq (724 g/t Ag & 8.58 g/t Au); TXC25-159 drilled 8.75 metres grading 193 g/t AgEq (90.3 g/t Ag & 0.94 g/t Au) from 234.1 metres, including 0.82 metres grading 1,217 g/t AgEq (567.7 g/t Ag & 5.95 g/t Au); TXC25-164 intercepted 5.67 metres of 263 g/t AgEq (3.6 g/t Ag & 2.38 g/t Au) from 180.0 metres, including 1.1 metres grading 955 g/t AgEq (9.2 g/t Ag & 8.67 g/t Au);   There are still 13 more drill assays pending from this area to be released by year end.   We discuss how all this new step-out drilling at the Eastern Expansion area, off DPB South towards the Ohio mine area, will then be combined with the expansion drilling completed earlier in the year at the Northwest (NW) Step Out resource area, and feed into the upcoming expanded resource estimate and updated PEA in Q1 2026. Andrew reiterates that the silver and gold mineralization at Tonopah West remains open to the northwest, east and internally between the main bodies of mineralization, as well as at depth.   As it stands today, before all the expansion drilling gets included, the updated MRE released in September, based on the M&I conversion drilling, 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.   We discussed that this Tonopah West Project really works even at far lower silver and gold prices due to the very high-grade nature of the deposit, and has excellent torque to rising metals prices.  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.   Andrew explains how they decided to report their resources much more conservatively than most other companies, using these block-diluted grade resource models.  This actually keeps the proposed head grade at much higher levels than other peer development projects, once the economics and stope optimization process is factored in.   The Company is engaged in many derisking activities from hydrology and geotechnical drilling, to permitting, engineering, metallurgical studies, and this will all be factored into the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment in early 2026.      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.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   https://kereport.substack.com/ 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.

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.

Ian Wagner interviews Zayn Kalyan of Scorpio Gold (SGN) to discuss the transformative period for the company, which is now focused exclusively on the Manhattan Project in Nevada following the sale of Mineral Ridge and securing strategic financing from investors including Eric Sprott and Ross Beattie. The conversation unpacks the recently released mineral resource estimate (MRE) of 740,000 ounces at 1.26 grams per ton, a grade considered very high when compared to the average Nevada grade of 0.6 grams per ton. Scorpio Gold is pursuing an ambitious target to reach 2 million ounces by the end of next August by drilling a minimum of 50,000 meters over the next 12 months and capitalizing on the district-scale potential of the eight and a half kilometer mineralized structure. Kalyan details that the company is fully financed and ramping up operations, expecting three drills to be running by early November to consistently deliver assay results while also working toward a potential cross-listing to increase exposure in the US market

Send us a textThis discussion on ways to improve MASH patient management comes from the early July roundtable on "Major Issues of the First Six Months of 2025." As a reminder, that roundtable included the three co-hosts (Louise, Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green) Roger drives this conversation, focusing on two very different, yet very important issues: the first is the increasing dynamism of the in-office scanning market, with leader Echosens developing new products and services, while companies like e-Scopics, Sonic Incytes, and Mindray (Hepatus) are introducing new devices with competing profiles. Roger discusses the idea that some scanners keep all data resident in the machine, while others send it immediately to the cloud. Louise suggests that while we should welcome any reliable scanning device to the market, Echosens has a significant advantage in terms of data richness and depth when compared to all competitors. (NOTE: This benefit became clearer when Echosens submitted a Letter of Intent to the FDA to qualify liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using VCTE, as found in FibroScan, as a reasonably likely surrogate endpoint in clinical trials for MASH.Separately, he lists some concerns about how the Trump Administration's focus on cutting services to the poor, coupled with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s distrust of pharmaceuticals and mainstream health research, might limit the number of Americans with access to healthcare and the kinds of care they can access. At the end of this conversation, Roger asks Jörn and Louise what they consider major issues for the next six months.

Our destination is the legendary Missouri River near Craig, Montana, one of the most technically challenging rivers in the West.  Joining me is guide, author, photographer, Marine Corps vet, and adjunct professor, Micah Fields, who unpacks his playbook for dry-fly headhunting, the quirks of Holter dam, and the art of reading a river that fishes like a giant spring creek.   Plus, hear about Montana's highly selective “Guiding for the Future” program and why it matters for the rivers we love, MRE's and chickens in Helmand Province, and an encounter with the great John Geirach.  Stick around to the end for Mica's favorite shore lunch – you will be drooling over this one!   Get out the chalk board as we talk serious X's and O's on technical fly fishing with Micah.

Send us a textStrap in, nerds — it's time for another brutally honest, occasionally aggressive PSA from your favorite cynical pipehitters. Aaron, Jared, and Trent are done pretending like your DMs are cute. This episode is a tactical nuke on all the dumbass questions that keep clogging our inboxes like an MRE-induced constipation crisis.Are you 25 and feeling “too old”? Shut up. Asking if you should delay shipping because your runtime is 0.3 seconds off? Delay your dreams forever, why not. Unsure whether you should be a PJ, CCT, SR, or join the FBI to fight aliens with the CIA? We're not your career counselor, Karen.This is the one-stop, soul-crushing episode you'll be angrily timestamping and rage-sharing with your overthinking wannabe operator buddies. We cover:Magical age limits and why the pipeline doesn't care about your birth yearWhy your “peak interest” is spelling itself out of selectionWhat training volume actually means (spoiler: you're not doing enough)The truth about SpecWar lifestyle, hot teammates, and why Air Force has the hottest dudes AND best hotelsOh, and yes — we talk about “Hot Kyle.” Again.

Send us a textStrap in, degenerates. In this brutally honest, no-holds-barred episode of Ones Ready, we sit down with Recon Marine, The War Journal author, intelligence community insider, and potential future Ambassador to Afghanistan—James. Freakin' Sisco.This isn't your average “rah-rah” war story episode. Sisco takes us deep into the grit and grime of Desert Storm, recounts the absolute hilarity of rolling into combat with Oakleys and Guns N' Roses, and then slams you into an emotional brick wall with betrayal, loss, and the aftermath of trauma stuffed into a rucksack for 30 years.From saving lives with a handwritten journal to calling BS on the Medal of Honor fame train, Jim serves up reality checks hotter than a desert MRE. He even casually drops that he's running a global risk advisory firm, trying to be Charge d'Affaires to Afghanistan, and working on a freakin' miniseries with the Marine Corps.This episode is raw. It's hilarious. It's painful. It's human. It's what happens when the mission ends and the real battle begins—with yourself.
