Interview with Matthew Hayes, Executive Director of James Bay Minerals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/james-bay-minerals-asx-jby-two-pronged-approach-near-surface-gold-high-grade-skarn-upside-6312Recording date: 28th April 2025James Bay Minerals is advancing its strategic 1.4 million ounce gold resource in Nevada toward potential near-term production. The project features a high-grade component of 980,000 ounces grading 6.67 g/t gold and a surface oxide component of approximately 400,000 ounces at nearly 4 g/t.Located adjacent to Nevada Gold Mines' Phoenix operation, described as "the largest gold mine in the world," JBY's asset shares identical geology with a proven neighbor that has produced 9 million ounces over 40 years. The project benefits from existing infrastructure including power, paved roads, and secured water rights, with just a 15-minute drive to the established mining town of Battle Mountain.Executive Director Matthew Hayes, who holds approximately 15% of the company, highlighted their production-focused strategy: "We've got advanced heap leach permitting in place. And within 8-12 months we could be in production." This heap leach approach could enable operations to begin at a relatively modest capital cost compared to conventional mining.JBY acquired the asset in a distressed situation for less than $4 per ounce (now effectively under $2 per ounce at current share prices) and maintains a healthy treasury with $7.3 million cash. The company is currently conducting a 4,000-meter drill program targeting significant resource expansion, including previously undrilled high-grade outcrops with samples up to 42 g/t gold.Metallurgical studies demonstrate favorable recoveries of 79% for oxide material, exceeding the neighboring operation's 68% recovery despite processing much lower grades (0.32 g/t).Management's substantial ownership (approximately 33% collectively) aligns interests with shareholders and supports their anti-dilutive approach, with Hayes noting: "We'll most likely be looking to do it majority through debt financing."In the current strong gold price environment, JBY represents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking exposure to a potential near-term gold producer in a premier mining jurisdiction.View James Bay Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/james-bay-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Chad Peters, President & CEO of Ridgeline Minerals Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ridgeline-minerals-tsxvrdg-hits-high-grade-gold-validating-nevada-prospect-generator-model-6223Recording date: 21st April 2025Ridgeline Minerals, a Nevada-focused exploration company, is leveraging its innovative hybrid business model to execute an ambitious $11 million USD drilling campaign across five projects in 2025, representing nearly 50% of its current market capitalization. The company's unique approach combines major partnerships with self-funded exploration, allowing it to maintain aggressive exploration activity while minimizing shareholder dilution.Led by President and CEO Chad Peters, Ridgeline has secured strategic partnerships totaling $60 million with industry giants Nevada Gold Mines (Barrick-Newmont joint venture) and South32. These agreements provide full funding for exploration while preserving Ridgeline's carried interests through to commercial production—25% on gold projects—essentially ensuring no shareholder dilution through the development phase.The company's flagship Swift project, backed by a $30 million deal with Nevada Gold Mines, sits just 4 kilometers from a 23-million-ounce gold mine and has already demonstrated significant potential with drilling results of up to 1.5 meters at 10 grams per ton gold. The Black Ridge project, another NGM partnership worth $10 million, is positioned between the high-grade Leeville mine and the massive 40-million-ounce Goldstrike deposit.South32's $20 million partnership at the Selena project targets Carbonate Replacement Deposits (CRDs) similar to their $2 billion Taylor acquisition. Recent geophysical surveys have identified identical anomalies to those at Taylor, with Ridgeline managing a $3.5 million deep drilling program in 2025 while earning 10% management fees.Ridgeline is also advancing two wholly-owned projects: Big Blue, a historic copper mine targeting porphyry mineralization, and Atlas, an oxide gold project with surface values up to 8 g/t along a 3-kilometer trend. The company's 2025 catalyst timeline includes drill results from May through early 2026, providing continuous news flow for investors.With gold at all-time highs and major mining companies facing reserve replacement challenges, Ridgeline's hybrid model positions it perfectly for current market conditions. Peters notes that majors are "making tons of money right now" but face the prospect of overpaying for assets in the future, creating an ideal environment for exploration partnerships.Trading at approximately C$30 million market cap, Ridgeline sits in what Peters calls the "pre-discovery sweet spot," comparable to successful companies like Kirkland Lake Gold that followed similar hybrid models before rerating on discoveries. With multiple discovery opportunities, protected upside through carried interests, and continuous drilling catalysts throughout 2025, Ridgeline offers investors compelling leverage to exploration success in Nevada's premier mining districts.View Ridgeline Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ridgeline-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Chad Peters, President and CEO of Ridgeline Minerals (TSX.V:RDG – OTCQB:RDGMF), joins me to unpack the key takeaways from the high-grade gold assay results for core hole SW24-006, at the Swift gold project, currently being operated under an exploration earn-in agreement with Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM").  We also outlined other value drivers at that Selena Project being optioned to South32, as well as updates at the Black Ridge, and 100% owned Big Blue Projects, all located in Nevada.   Drillhole SW24-006 is the first of up to three deep core holes planned for the 2024 program and was drilled to a total depth of 918.2 meters ("m"). The hole was designed to test favourable carbonate host rocks along the projection of the Mill Creek thrust fault, a significant structural control and conduit for gold mineralization at Swift. SW24-006 returned a highlight intercept of 1.1m grading 10.4 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") within 2.7m grading 7.0 g/t Au starting at 676.3m downhole.  Next we discussed the significance of hole #7 being drilled, stepping out 1km from hole #6, but also only 300 meters away from hole #3.  NGM is exploring using a framework approach to mineralization and structure, searching for large Carlin-style deposits.  Nevada Gold Mines is also doing some earlier-stage ground work at Black Ridge, gearing up for a drill program next year.   We wrap up by reviewing the 2025 exploration plans for the 100% owned Big Blue Porphyry Project, and also the Selena Project as South32 continues to option into the Project, where next will see drilling on 4 different projects.      If you have any follow up questions for Chad regarding Ridgeline Minerals, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to visit the Ridgeline website and read over the recent news.

Interview with Chad Peters, President & CEO of Ridgeline Minerals Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ridgeline-minerals-tsxvrdg-leveraging-partnerships-for-gold-and-copper-exploration-success-6064Recording date: 7th November 2024Ridgeline Minerals (TSXV:RDG) announced a significant high-grade gold discovery from its Swift project in Nevada. The company intersected 2.7 meters grading 7.0 g/t gold, including 1.1 meters at 10.4 g/t, in a joint venture with Nevada Gold Mines (NGM), a partnership between majors Barrick and Newmont.The intercept is the first high-grade hit at Swift after initial holes encountered widespread low-grade mineralization. It confirms the project's potential to host economic gold deposits in line with other major mines in the region. Notably, NGM's reserves in the district average 7.3 g/t gold, putting Swift's 7.0 g/t intercept in the ballpark.Ridgeline's CEO Chad Peters emphasized the significance of the discovery, stating, "We now know this project can host high-grade gold and it's of comparable grade to multiple producing mines in the Cortez District that are being operated by Nevada Gold Mines."The company is clearly excited, but the market appears to be taking notice too. Barrick specifically referenced the Swift project and its drill results in its latest quarterly MD&A, a strong vote of confidence in the project's potential.Ridgeline has several upcoming catalysts for Swift and its other projects:NGM is obligated to spend US$12M on Swift over the next 2 years to earn a 60% stake, with the project reverting to Ridgeline if the spending commitment isn't metThe company expects NGM will likely drill another 7-10 holes to further delineate the high-grade zone and build out the geologic modelAt the Selena project, partner South32 is funding a US$400,000 geophysics program to refine sulfide drill targetsRidgeline's Black Ridge project is being advanced to a potential drill program with NGMIn total, the company anticipates its partners could spend US$7-10 million across its projects in 2025. This level of externally-funded exploration is a testament to the strength of Ridgeline's prospect generator business model, which allows it to advance multiple projects simultaneously while minimizing shareholder dilution.The Swift discovery also highlights the advantages of exploring in Nevada. The state hosts multiple world-class gold districts and attracts the interest and investment of the world's largest gold miners. For a junior like Ridgeline, a discovery in this environment has a clear path to monetization, whether through an outright sale, a spinout, or other mechanism.With a tight share structure, experienced management team, and multiple shots on goal in a top-tier jurisdiction, Ridgeline has positioned itself as an attractive speculative play in the junior gold space. If the company can continue to deliver exploration success and prove up the potential of its project portfolio, it could be poised for a significant re-rating in the market.While early-stage exploration plays are inherently high-risk, Ridgeline's Swift discovery goes a long way in validating the company's technical acumen and business model. For investors with an appetite for exploration upside, Ridgeline is a story to watch closely. Upcoming drill results from Swift and progress at the company's other projects could provide ample catalysts to drive the stock higher in the months ahead.View Ridgeline Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ridgeline-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Chad Peters, CEO of Ridgeline Minerals, discusses the recent significant discovery at the Swift Gold Project in Nevada, highlighting the implications of high-grade mineralization and the challenges of exploration in the region. He elaborates on the strategic drilling efforts and the financial commitments from Nevada Gold Mines, emphasizing the importance of this project for future growth. The discussion also touches on market reactions to recent developments and the overall outlook for the mining sector.

Interview with Chad Peters, President & CEO of Ridgeline Minerals Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ridgeline-minerals-tsxvrdg-major-partner-funded-exploration-in-nevada-5826Recording date: 8th October 2024Ridgeline Minerals presents a compelling investment opportunity in the mineral exploration sector, focusing on high-potential gold and copper projects in Nevada, one of the world's premier mining jurisdictions. The company has developed a unique business model that balances risk and reward by combining strategic partnerships with major mining companies and the advancement of wholly-owned exploration assets.A key strength of Ridgeline's approach is its ability to attract substantial funding through partnerships with industry giants. The company has secured three earn-in agreements totaling $60 million across three projects. Notable partnerships include a $20 million deal with South32 for the Selena project and ongoing exploration funded by Nevada Gold Mines at the Swift project. These partnerships not only provide significant exploration funding but also validate the potential of Ridgeline's asset portfolio.Importantly, Ridgeline maintains non-dilutive free carries to production on its partnered projects, typically retaining a 20-25% interest. This structure allows the company to preserve long-term value for shareholders while minimizing financial risk. In the near term, investors can expect substantial exploration activity, with President and CEO Chad Peters noting that partners are expected to spend about $3.5 million on Ridgeline's projects in Q4 2024 alone.While partnerships form a crucial part of Ridgeline's strategy, the company also maintains a portfolio of 100% owned early-stage exploration assets. The standout among these is the Big Blue project, which has recently yielded impressive high-grade copper and gold samples, including up to 4% copper and 16 grams per ton gold. These results suggest the potential for a significant porphyry copper-gold system, a type of deposit known for its large scale and long mine life.Ridgeline's exploration efforts target various deposit types, including Carlin-type gold deposits, porphyry copper-gold systems, and Carbonate Replacement Deposits (CRDs). This diversity provides multiple avenues for potential discovery and helps to spread geological risk.The current market environment presents both challenges and opportunities for junior explorers like Ridgeline. While overall market sentiment has been subdued, there are signs of increasing interest from major mining companies in funding exploration and making strategic investments in juniors. This trend could provide Ridgeline with additional avenues for funding its exploration programs, particularly on its 100% owned assets.Looking ahead, investors can anticipate several potential catalysts, including results from ongoing drilling programs at partnered projects, advancement of the Selena project with South32, exploration progress at the 100% owned Big Blue project, and possible new strategic partnerships or investments.However, as with all junior exploration companies, investors should be aware of the inherent risks and speculative nature of early-stage mineral exploration. Ridgeline's success will ultimately depend on exploration results and the company's ability to make significant discoveries.In conclusion, Ridgeline Minerals offers investors exposure to a well-structured exploration company with a portfolio of high-potential projects in Nevada. The company's hybrid model of partnered and 100% owned assets provides a balance of funded exploration and discovery upside. With active programs underway and a strong network of industry partnerships, Ridgeline is well-positioned to capitalize on exploration success in a tier-one mining jurisdiction.View Ridgeline Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ridgeline-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Chad Peters, President and CEO of Ridgeline Minerals (TSX.V:RDG – OTCQB:RDGMF), joins us to unpack the details of the Selena Project being optioned to South32, as well as updates at the Swift, Black Ridge, and Big Blue Projects, all located in Nevada.   We start off having Chad outline the recently announced transaction with South32 Limited, pursuant to which they can acquire up to an 80% interest in Ridgeline's Selena carbonate replacement deposit ("CRD").  South32 pay Ridgeline a US$100,000 execution payment and fund a minimum of US$10.0 million (of which US$2.0 million is guaranteed) in qualifying exploration expenditures on the Project over an initial five-year term.  Following this, South32 will have a further option to increase its ownership interest in the Project to a total of 80% by incurring an additional US$10.0 million in expenditures for an aggregate spend of US$20.0 million. Ridgeline will remain operator of the Project during the Initial Phase 1 Earn-in Option period. We discussed the work program anticipated over the next year at Selena.   Next we shifted over to reviewing the work programs at both the Swift and Black Ridge projects, in option earn-in agreements with Nevada Gold Mines.   There will be a few deep drill holes drilled at the Swift Project this year by Nevada Gold Mines, searching for large Carlin-style deposits, and then earlier-stage ground work at Black Ridge, gearing up for a drill program next year.   We wrap up by reviewing the exploration plans for the 100% owned Big Blue Porphyry Project, where Chad would like to drill it this year, providing the capital can be raised at the right time and market conditions.  Additionally, at the Bell Creek project, their team is looking to use it as more of a optionality non-core bargaining chip in their solid relationship with Nevada Gold Mines, due to the proximity of that land to their current operations.    If you have any follow up questions for Chad regarding Ridgeline Minerals, then please email us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to visit the Ridgeline website and read over the recent news.

Interview with Chad Peters, President & CEO of Ridgeline Minerals Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ridgeline-minerals-tsxvrdg-40m-exploration-budget-for-25-free-carry-3880Recording date: 20th August 2024Ridgeline Minerals (TSXV:RDG) is emerging as a notable player in the precious and base metal exploration sector, focusing on projects in Nevada, USA. The company's innovative approach to mineral exploration and development, centered on strategic partnerships with major mining companies, offers investors a unique opportunity in the junior mining space.Recently, Ridgeline announced a significant deal with South32 for its Selena project, adding to existing partnerships with Nevada Gold Mines (a joint venture between Barrick and Newmont) for its Swift and Black Ridge projects. These deals collectively represent $60 million in partner-funded exploration across three projects, a substantial sum for a junior explorer.The South32 deal for the Selena project exemplifies Ridgeline's partnership strategy. South32 can earn up to an 80% stake in the project by investing $20 million USD, with the deal structured to potentially provide Ridgeline with a free carried interest to production. This structure allows Ridgeline to maintain a meaningful interest in the project without the burden of funding its development.Chad Peters, President, CEO, and Director of Ridgeline Minerals, emphasizes the significance of these partnerships: "We now have $60 million in deals across three projects... You're seeing 40 million being spent with the NGM deal, 20 million potentially being spent with South32."While leveraging partnerships for some projects, Ridgeline maintains 100% ownership of its Big Blue project, a porphyry copper play in Nevada. This balanced approach allows the company to benefit from partner-funded exploration while retaining full control and upside potential on select assets.Financially, Ridgeline's partnership model allows for significant exploration spending on its projects without depleting its own treasury. In the second half of 2024 alone, about $4 million USD is expected to be spent across the three partner-funded projects. For investors, Ridgeline offers several potential advantages:Risk Mitigation: Partnerships with major mining companies reduce financial risks while maintaining upside potential.Leverage to Discovery: As a junior company with minority stakes in partner-funded projects, Ridgeline offers the potential for outsized returns in the event of a major discovery.Multiple Opportunities: With three partner-funded projects and one 100% owned project, investors gain exposure to multiple potential discovery opportunities.Experienced Management: The company's ability to secure deals with major mining companies speaks to the expertise of its management team.Favorable Jurisdiction: Focus on Nevada, a top-tier mining jurisdiction, reduces geopolitical risk.However, investors should also be aware of potential risks, including dependency on partners' continued interest, inherent exploration risks, and market volatility in the junior mining sector. As global demand for metals continues to grow, driven by trends in electrification, renewable energy, and economic uncertainty, Ridgeline's focus on making significant discoveries in Nevada positions it to potentially benefit from these broader industry trends.In conclusion, Ridgeline Minerals presents an intriguing opportunity for investors seeking exposure to mineral exploration with a risk-mitigated approach. The company's ability to attract major partners, combined with its 100% owned assets, provides multiple avenues for potential value creation. As always, investors should conduct thorough due diligence and consider their risk tolerance when evaluating junior mining stocks.View Ridgeline Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ridgeline-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com 

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review 2 junior gold exploration resource stocks that have his attention based on recent new and the value proposition he believes they offer investors at present.   We start off reviewing Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (OTC: EQTRF) and their announcement yesterday about the newly discovered outcrops of porphyritic rocks within the Cajueiro project area. Initial follow-up of these target areas has identified new outcrops of highly altered and brecciated porphyritic intrusive rock 1.6 kilometres to the east of the Maria Bonita target where recent drilling intersected 146m @ 1g/t gold. The area displays extensive sericitic alteration and shows the characteristic quartz veining seen in the mineralized porphyritic host rock at Maria Bonita.    Next we discussed  Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) and their news announcement this morning they they have entered into an earn-in agreement dated August 21, 2024 with a wholly-owned subsidiary of South32 Limited, pursuant to which South32 can acquire up to an 80% interest in Ridgeline's Selena carbonate replacement deposit ("CRD") project.  We also discuss that they have Nevada Gold Mines as earn-in partners at Swift and Black Ridge, while retaining 100% ownership of Big Blue.   *In full disclosure, many of the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and they also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman  

Luc ten Have, private resource investor and Founder of www.GoldDiscovery.com, joins me to review some merger and acquisition news we've seen in the sector as well as the importance of seeing quality strategic partners come into developing precious metals or base metals projects. We also review 2 exploration stocks that have Luc's attention.     We start off discussing the news out from earlier this week about the takeover of Filo Corp (TSX: FIL) (OTCQX: FLMMF) by both BHP (NYSE: BHP) and Lundin Mining (TSX: LUN) for their large copper project in Chile and Argentina.   This led into a conversation on if we may see more senior companies partner up to develop these larger development projects. Luc noted the nuances and differences in rationale for teaming up pointing to what Nevada Gold Mines, the partnership between Newmont and Barrick, did with their combined Nevada projects, or when we initially saw with Agnico Eagle (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) and Yamana Gold (TSX: YRI) (NYSE: AUY) team up to develop the Malartic Mine in Canada.       This pivoted over to a discussion about the potential consolidation we could see with the copper development projects in Arizona, and potential synergies between all the stakeholders of Faraday Copper (TSX:FDY)(OTCQX:CPPKF), Ivanhoe Electric (NYSE American:IE)(TSX:IE), and Arizona Sonoran Copper (TSX:ASCU) (OTCQX:ASCUF).    With Faraday Copper being another Lunding Group company, we also discussed the Lundin family as a force of nature in the mining sector, with them also taking strategic positions in Fireweed Metals (TSXV: FWZ) (OTCQX: FWEDF) and Montage Mining (TSXV: MAU) (OTCQX: MAUTF), which Luc has followed closely.   Wrapping up we shifted over to what has Luc's attention with the explorers, and he noted his rationale behind positioning in both Ramp Metals (TSXV: RAMP) and SRQ Resources (TSX-V: SRQ), their recent drilling news, and how market expectations and reactions affected the shareprice action.   https://ceo.ca/@luctenhave   Click here to follow Luc Ten Have on X/Twitter:   https://golddiscovery.com/

Dave Cole, President and CEO of EMX Royalty Corp (TSX.V: EMX) (NSYE: EMX), joins me for a comprehensive update on their distinguishing value proposition in the royalty space, a number of copper, gold, and critical minerals partner project updates, a number revenue-generating pre-production royalties, a review of Q1 financials, and the balance between further paying down debt in tandem with buying back Company shares.   We start off discussing the multi-prong approach of generating revenues from existing properties optioned off to other operators, and then creating royalties, in addition to buying royalties in the market when the right value accretive dynamics are in place.  At present EMX Royalty has 6 producing royalties and around 50 other royalties bringing in revenues from defined pre-production payments, option payments, and gate payments.     Next we discussed the substantial copper exposure and incoming cashflows that EMX has coming in from both the Caserones Project in Chile operated by Lundin Mining, and the Timok Project in Serbia operated by  Zijin Mining, and as cornerstone generational assets.  With regards to the producing gold royalties, Dave first outlines how the Gediktepe Mine in Turkey is throwing off great revenues from gold, but then will be transitioning to a polymetallic deposit in the years to come. Then he also outlines the stable gold production and long-life asset in the Leeville Mine in Nevada, operated by Nevada Gold Mines (the JV between Barrick Gold and Newmont Mining).   This leads into a broader discussion about how important it is to have quality operating partners on the royalty projects; leading us into a few more partner updates with South32's $2.16Billion at the polymetallic Peake deposit on the Hermosa Taylor Project in Arizona, and the development-stage copper-iron-gold Viscaria project in Sweden, operated by Copperstone Resources.   We then shift over to reviewing the 44 other pre-production royalties that are still generating revenues via lease-option payments, stage-gate payments to advance properties, advanced minimum royalty payments, and that come in by way of cash and often times shares in partner companies. We do a brief review of Q1 financials and strength of the company, as well as have Dave break down the balance between paying down debt with buying back company shares, since the company is still trading below it's net asset value.   Wrapping up we discuss the synergistic relationship between EMX Royalty and Franco-Nevada (FNV) where not only are they the new lender of choice for their recently announced $35 Million Loan, that clears out the prior Sprott loan, but Franco-Nevada has an investment stake in EMX, has syndicated royalty purchase agreements together in the past, and there is an ongoing joint venture partnership to acquire earlier-stage gold and copper royalties sourced by EMX.   If you have any questions for Dave regarding EMX Royalty Corp, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.    In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of EMX Royalty at the time of this recording.    Click here to follow along with Company news from EMX Royalty Corp

Interview with Chad Peters, CEO of Ridgeline Minerals (TSX-V: RDG)Recording date: 12th September 2023Ridgeline Minerals is a Nevada-focused precious and base metals explorer aiming to make new discoveries in proven districts. The company went public in 2020 but adapted its business model due to market conditions, forging strategic partnerships to advance projects while still retaining upside.Ridgeline's flagship project is the 100% owned Selena project, which has potential to be a globally significant carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) discovery. CRDs are genetically related to porphyry copper systems and can contain substantial amounts of silver, lead, zinc and copper.Selena shares similarities with successful projects like the Taylor deposit in Arizona. Ridgeline has already drilled intercepts up to 6 meters of 1,200 g/t silver equivalent at Selena and believes the project could deliver transformational value.To advance other projects while minimizing dilution, Ridgeline executed deals with Nevada Gold Mines on its Swift and Carlin East gold projects, worth $40 million in spending for 70% ownership. Importantly, Ridgeline retains 25% fully carried interest through to first gold production on any new discoveries.This innovative structure provides upside exposure without excessive spending requirements if the projects are advanced. The deals allow Ridgeline to focus its technical team and capital on progressing Selena.Located in Eureka County, Nevada, Selena covers 39 square km of highly prospective ground. Ridgeline plans to systematically de-risk Selena and achieve initial resource estimates to attract interest from mid-tier and major base metals producers.Ridgeline's experienced management team leverages extensive local relationships to source overlooked projects with major discovery potential, like the newly acquired Big Blue copper-silver project.With a lean team, capital from supportive institutions and strategic investors, and district-scale targets in top mining jurisdictions, Ridgeline offers substantial discovery potential and leveraged exposure to new high-value deposits.

Chad Peters of Ridgeline Minerals provides a brief update on the Selena drill program in Nevada. He also shares updates from Nevada Gold Mines earn-in drill work at both Swift and Carlin East.

Nevada Gold Mines has agreed to a new earn-in agreement for Ridgeline Mineral's Carlin East project. Carlin East is directly along trend with NGM's Leeville mine. Ridgeline has earlier exploration work done on the project, but Chad Peters of RDG talks about why this earn-in agreement is a much better option for the company and its shareholders.

Ridgeline Minerals CEO, Chad Peters, joins the podcast today for his corporate editorial on the latest developments out of the Swift project, in conjunction with Nevada Gold Mines, and the Selena Project where the crew is wrapping up drilling for the year.

On the show we had Michelle Beck from Three Square Food Bank talk about their special campaign they are doing to help those that are food insecure around the Las Vegas Valley. -- Three Square's Holiday Match Campaign is designed to double your impact in our community throughout the holiday season. From now until December 31, your gift can be doubled – thanks to the generosity of Boyd Gaming Corporation, Nevada Gold Mines operated by Barrick, Bentley Las Vegas, Gene Haas Foundation and Intermountain Healthcare. Every dollar donated can provide up to six meals. Hunger is not seasonal, and many families this year will find themselves with fewer resources to make even a simple meal this holiday season. This is why community support is so vital. Visit threesquare.org to learn more about how you can get involved.

Ewan Downie, CEO and Director of I-80 Gold Corp (TSX: IAU – NYSE: IAUX), joins us to review the Company's 4 primary Projects that are transitioning into producing mines, the significant production infrastructure in place, and the exploration success the company is having at both Granite Creek and Ruby Hill.   We start off looking at the disconnect in their current market cap, versus what it would take to recreate the over $1 Billion in sunk cost at their Lone Tree Processing center, and that this doesn't even include the additional value and sunk costs at their Ruby Hill oxide processing plant. Next we discussed their global resources of 14.5 million ounces of gold, and an additional 180 Million ounces of silver, both of which are expanding as they continue with ongoing exploration programs.   We also have Ewan outline the Company's scaled production growth strategy going from around 20000 ounces this year to a target of 250,000 ounces annually in 2025.  We discuss the where the initial production will be coming from for the balance of 2022 and 2023 and the key ore processing agreement in place with Nevada Gold Mines (the JV between both Barrick and Newmont in NV).   We wrap up with the success and notable drill results from the 30,000 meter exploration Granite Creek, and the simultaneous 30,000 meter drill program at Ruby Hill.  At Granite Creek the majority of the current resources and past drilling has been at the Ogee Zone, but recent drilling at the South Pacific Zone shows it could be several times larger than Ogee and still open for expansion.   At Ruby Hill, the majority of the resources and past drilling were at the Ruby Deeps Zone, but there has been a new 007 Zone discovered, as well as some work at the new Blue Sky target discovery. However, the big focus near Ruby Hill has been on the very high-grade polymetallic drill results coming back from the Hilltop Zone, which is a CRD type of deposit.  This Hilltop Zone could prove to be a substantial base-metals contributor for the company as this area continues to be drilled and expanded.   If you have questions for Ewan regarding the ongoing work and strategy at i-80 Gold Corp, then please email us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   * In full disclosure, Shad is an existing shareholder of I-80 Gold corp

The competitive position of gold and copper mining company Barrick is being progressively boosted by exploration, which results in the company replacing the extracted ore with similar quality. “We're the only company that has replaced our ounces at the same quality through exploration – through the drill bit – and today we're a much more competent explorer than we were in 2019,” Barrick CEO Dr Mark Bristow, himself a renowned geologist, enthused in an interview. “With the exception of eastern Russia, we've got geologists in every single global geological province who are capable of delivering copper or gold or both,” Bristow added. He was speaking to Mining Weekly after the New York- and Toronto-listed gold and copper company remained on track to achieve its 2022 production guidance. In doing so it overcame some short-term operational challenges and rising input costs, driven largely by what Bristow concedes was a soft production quarter, but one which has paved the way for a stronger final three months, driven by access to higher grades at Nevada Gold Mines. But overall, it is the exploration drive that is continuing to build momentum and Barrick is set once again to grow its reserves net of depletion this year – but with inflation still a factor needing to be taken into account. “Inflation is here and you can't deny it. Many people are wishing it away, just like back in 2008, in the global financial crisis. “The real impact of the global financial crisis was only really felt in 2011, and that's when gold went up to $1 900/oz. “In the medium term, it's great for gold, and on the copper side, which is the most strategic metal, the market just gets tighter and tighter because, again, the industry has stopped investing in itself just because the copper price is at $3.40/lb. “The gold industry is stretching a bit because it hasn't replaced the gold that it has mined with similar quality,” Bristow reiterated. Helping to keep down costs and mitigating against inflation, too, had been Barrick's disposal of the noncore assets after its multiple transactions of 2019 and 2020. A lot of other companies kept everything and took the ride on the high commodity prices, which have since come down amid costs going up, not only driven by inflation and increased input costs, but also lower revenues because of declining grades. The industry, in Bristow's view, has spent far too much time rearranging far too few assets amongst too many management teams – “and the problem is that consolidation is even more challenging because there are not enough assets available to build the relevance that this mining industry needs, to be able to participate in a bigger, more developed world. “So, not only are we dealing with a critical global financial crisis, but it's materially compounded by the geopolitical mess that we find ourselves in, on a global basis, and then compromised by populist politics and very liberal fiscal doctrine,” he outlined. THIRD-QUARTER PERFORMANCE Barrick's third-quarter operating cash flow for the quarter was $758-million and was supplemented by the sale of noncore royalty assets. The robust balance sheet supported a $0.10-a-share base dividend plus a $0.05-a-share performance dividend for a total of $0.15 a share for the quarter. Under the $1-billion share buyback programme, $322-million of shares have been repurchased to date, or about 1% of Barrick's issued and outstanding shares at the time the programme was announced. “Barrick's core strategy is one of long-term value creation and our focus remains firmly on this goal. We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet and to develop our wealth of organic growth projects. We also keep a sharp lookout for M&A opportunities, but those that could pass our strict investment filters are few and far between,” Bristow said. Barrick's asset portfolio and pipeline of organic growth prospects is extensive. Ongoing exploration in Lumwana in Zambia is pointing to the potential for a superpit...

Ridgeline Minerals CEO Chad Peters joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has announced plans for a very busy fall exploration season on all its projects. Peters telling Proactive the company is looking to do a 10–15-hole drill program on the Selena Project in late September. The holes will target multiple targets including Chinchilla, Juniper and Broken Egg. Peters also said Nevada Gold Mines is planning for drilling on the Swift Project with a drill program looking to complete a series of deep, wide- spaced core holes. Robber Gulch will also see work with backpack drilling expected.

Ridgeline Minerals CEO Chad Peters joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news an exploration update for the Swift Project in Nevada including the first drill hole. That Project is being worked by Nevada Gold Mines as they look to earn a 60% stake in the project. Peters telling Proactive about some of the results from the 2021 drill program and about the 2022 program which will consist of a series of wide-spaced drill-holes about a kilometre apart to test the concept that mineralization is vectoring to the west and the drilling will also generate a comprehensive geologic model of the historically underexplored Swift project.

First Solar, the largest US-owned solar panel manufacturer, today announced that it's going to provide 260 megawatts (MW)DC of Ohio-made solar modules to Nevada Gold Mines, the single largest gold-producing complex in the world. Nevada Gold Mines is operated by Barrick Gold Corporation and is a . First Solar, the largest US-owned solar panel manufacturer, today announced that it's going to provide 260 megawatts (MW)DC of Ohio-made solar modules to Nevada Gold Mines, the single largest gold-producing complex in the world. Nevada Gold Mines is operated by Barrick Gold Corporation and is a joint venture between Barrick (61.5%) and Newmont (38.5%) that combined their significant assets across Nevada in 2019. The company will invest in building a 200 MW solar farm, which will be deployed in the second quarter of 2023, as part of a broader effort to reduce its emissions. The completed solar farm will be able to power 17% of the gold-producing operation. Barrick has committed to a 30% greenhouse gas reduction by 2030, with the goal of net-zero operations by 2050. Nevada Gold Mines will support Barrick's targets and has set an intermediate goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2025, compared to its 2018 baseline. Nevada Gold Mines says it expects to achieve its goals with the solar farm and the conversion of its “coal-fired power plant to cleaner burning natural gas.” (Editor's note: Natural gas is never clean. Nevada Gold Mines, take note, and figure out another way.) In June 2021, Wood Mackenzie reported on gold mining emissions reduction progress: For the purpose of our analysis, we looked at 339 large-scale gold mines, or 60% of total gold supply. [G]old miners look broadly on track to align with the 2C climate target – which limits the rise in global temperatures since pre-industrial times to 2C by the end of this century. However, more action is required if the industry is to meet the 1.5C climate target, let alone surpass it. In June 2021, Electrek reported that First Solar announced the opening of a third manufacturing plant in Ohio in the first half of 2023.
