Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins me for a comprehensive review of all 4 company Projects, on an operational, developmental and exploration perspective. The Company operates the high-grade San Albino gold mine in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. Mako owns the Moss Mine in Arizona, an open pit gold mine in northwestern Arizona, which is ramping up production. Mako now controls the permitted Mt. Hamilton Gold-Silver Project located in White Pine County, Nevada, USA as the next key development project in the cue.  Mako also holds a 100% interest in the PEA-stage Eagle Mountain Project in Guyana, South America.   Initially we review the San Albino operations, how Q3 was a solid quarter, but not running as optimally as it has been in Q4.  San Albino ranks as one of the highest-grade open pit gold mines globally and this is translating over to great revenues in light of the higher metals prices.  Akiba points out that really Q4 will be the strongest quarter of the year, and this is what company has been guiding all along, but that December is turning out to be the strongest month operationally thus far.   Additionally, we discuss all the district-scale exploration potential and multiple drill rigs turning around the mine and across the land concession.   We also unpack the ramp of mining at the tail end of Q3 and into Q4 at the Moss Mine, in Arizona.   Akiba unpacks some of the operational and site layout challenges their team has overcome or has a process in place to address in the year to come.  Even though Moss is a lower-grade mine, and has only been operating as partial efficiency, it has still been profitable. As mining increases by accessing better areas of the mine, and debottlenecking certain processes, then costs will come down and it should become a bigger contributor as next year progresses.   The Mt. Hamilton Project has all major state and federal permits to allow construction of an open pit, heap leach gold-silver project, and has a current mineral resource estimate with an effective date of September 23, 2025. We discuss the related-party transaction involving Sailfish Royalty Corp, and some of work flying drones over the property a couple of weeks back before the snowy weather came in, setting them up for development work this April.   Additionally, we discussed the 2nd layer of mineralization and value proposition of the Mt Hamilton Project, because it also hosts a tungsten/copper/molybdenum target, located below and independent of the gold and silver Mt. Hamilton MRE. This tungsten target has been defined by over 100,000 ft of historical exploration drilling. In a report by the Department of the Interior, dated August 25, 2025, tungsten (W) was named as one of the top 10 critical metals listed by their estimated probability-weighted impact of supply disruptions on the U.S. economy.  There is the potential to seek government funds allocated for the development of critical minerals for this portion of the deposit down the road as another potential opportunity.   Wrapping up, we delve into the next key steps for permitting and development work at the Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana; set to be in construction in late 2026 and production by H2 of 2027..      If you have any further questions for Akiba regarding Mako Mining, then please email them into me at  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Mako Mining at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell more shares at any time.   Click here for a summary of the recent news out of Mako Mining.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Oliver Turner, Executive VP of Corporate Development for Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS), joined me for a comprehensive review of the several key optimization initiatives ongoing at their producing 100% owned Galena Complex, located in Idaho, USA; as well as at the EC120 mine at their Cosalá Operations, located in Sinaloa, Mexico.  Additionally, we reviewed the news out today regarding the closing of the acquisition of the Crescent Silver Mine located just 9 miles away from their Galena Complex in Idaho.   We started off unpacking the multifaceted approach to optimizing their Galena mining complex this year, comprised of 4 shafts and 2 mills currently being underutilized, but setting up for a marked incremental increase in production growth over the next few years. The company has invested big in 2025 in a new fleet of mobile equipment to improve efficiencies and uptime. There is a 2-phase upgrade initiative for the hoist at the No. 3 Shaft, where the motor was upgraded to a larger more powerful one, increasing the amount of tonnes that can be raised each day. Additionally, there is a more advanced breaking system and communication platform that will be implemented in 2026 that will further increase the amount of ore that can be raised and run through the mill for processing. A key shift to from the ‘Cut and Fill' mining method using hand held jacklegs, to a mechanized Long Hole Stoping mining method, which is far more efficient and still quite precise. Grade-driven growth, building upon future mine sequencing following up on the successful exploration at the 034 vein at the 5200 level and the 149 vein at the 4300 level. There is capacity at their 2 mills to accept larger amounts of throughput as mining capacity expands The incorporation of new management and operational personnel, building for the future. Next we discussed the big news out today on December 12, that the Company has closed the acquisition of Crescent Silver, LLC, which owns the Crescent Mine in Idaho. The consideration under the Acquisition is made up of US$20 million in cash and approximately 11.1 million common shares of Americas Gold and Silver. The Crescent Mine is a synergistic addition located just 9 miles from the Galena Complex, and is a fully permitted past producing mine which will be advanced for a restart in 2026.  The Crescent Mine will provide a supplementary high-grade source of feed to their 2 mills at Galena, further utilizing processing capacity.   The mineralized material at Crescent is very similar to the tetrahedrite material at Galena which contains high grade Silver and significant by-product potential from antimony and copper, which meshes perfectly with their strategy to maximize the production value across all metals.   Throughout  2025, there has been very promising metallurgical testing, confirming high recoveries of antimony alongside strong silver and copper recoveries from ore currently being processed.  Until recently the company was not getting paid for antimony or copper, but that will be changing in 2026 based on a new off-take agreement signed with Ocean Partners USA Inc. for treatment of up to 100% of the concentrates from the Company's Galena Complex at Teck Resources Limited's Trail Operations in Trail British Columbia; one of the world's largest fully-integrated zinc, lead and critical metals complexes.   Next we shifted down to the Cosalá Operations in Mexico, with the operating San Rafael and El Cajon mines, which has been critical to getting the company through tougher markets over the years.   The Company is investing in exploration to extend the San Rafael mine, and importantly tunneling over into a new area of the El Cajon mine called the EC120 mine, which will now see increased silver production in the years to come. This brought up the point that this company is one of the few North American silver-focused producers with the objective of over 80% of its revenue generated from silver in the year to come.     If you have any questions for Oliver regarding Americas Gold and Silver, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Americas Gold and Silver 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 Americas Gold and Silver   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.

This Weekend Show is all about precious metals momentum, and the why behind it. Brien Lundin argues we're watching the classic bull-market baton pass (silver + miners leading gold), while Jeff Christian breaks down what the data actually shows behind silver's explosive run above $60, and why volatility could cut both ways in the weeks ahead. Segment 1 & 2 - Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference, joins the KE Report Weekend Show to break down his massive year-end issue - covering macro trends, metals and market outlooks, dozens of junior mining updates, and five new stock recommendations - while explaining why he sees silver and mining equities leading gold into a potentially strong seasonal early-2026 rally driven by the broader “debasement trade” and rising liquidity across commodities. Click here to learn more about the Gold Newsletter.   Segment 3 & 4 - Jeff Christian, Managing Partner at CPM Group, wraps up this Weekend Show to break down silver's explosive move above $60 - arguing it's being driven primarily by investor demand and momentum trading (not fabrication demand or a true short squeeze) - while also outlining why gold has lagged, how geopolitical/economic risks could keep precious metals supported into Q1 2026, and what shifting narratives around crypto-linked gold products, central bank activity, and the need for new mining supply could mean for metals and mining equities.

Dr. Thomas Mumford, President of Scottie Resources (TSX.V:SCOT – OTCQB:SCTSF),  joins me to review the key takeaways from the Bulk Sample report, when compared with expectations from the October 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).   Additionally, we get an update on the ongoing ore-sorting studies, what was learned from this year's drill program, the preparation for the largest drill program to date in 2026, and the Feasibility Study workstreams underway at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.   The recent PEA outlined a robust Direct-Ship Ore (“DSO”) development scenario for the Scottie Gold Mine Project, with strong economics and leverage to the current gold price environment, and additional upside potential through local toll milling.  The DSO process was successfully demonstrated during this trial mining and Bulk Sample, which was mined at the Bend Vein pit at the Scottie Gold Mine Project, then mucked, visually sorted, and crushed over the 2025 summer season. The transportation of this material was completed moving around 100 truckloads of material down the Granduc road to the Stewart bulk shipping facility without any concerns or challenges, and it is going to be shipped over to Ocean Partners imminently.   Highlights: An estimated 4,588 wet tonnes have been prepared for export to an Ocean Partners facility in Taiwan with better-than-expected average preliminary assays of 15.89 g/t gold and 42.28 g/t silver Per the Company's agreement with Ocean Partners, a 90% upfront payment is to be received five days after sailing at a gold price of US$4100/oz and silver price of US$49.50/oz Vessel has been booked and is expected to be loaded between December 10th and 12th 2025 The final 10% payment will reconcile any difference between estimated and final ounces and will be priced based on metal values at the time grades are finalized and agreed upon.  It is estimated that gold sold will generate a net profit of ~CAD$9Million.   Thomas outlines that the company plans to move straight into work streams for a Feasibility Study (FS), with actual cost estimates and more detailed economics, as the next major economic study to be undertaken.  The FS is slated to take about 8-10 months after all the 2025 drill results from the 27,309 meter program are in hand and integrated into their resource model.   We got into the resource assumptions used in the PEA and Thomas outlined how these resources are going to expand now that 4 diamond drill rigs were turning this year in the largest exploration program to date, across different parts of the high-priority Blueberry Contact Zone, and around the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine. A key initiative was infilling areas with tighter spacing, focused on upgrading the resources from inferred to indicated categories at the Blueberry Contact Zone. However many of the holes also went deeper, doing some true exploration work with a focus on expanding the potential open pit and upper portions of the underground resources at both Blueberry and Scottie areas.   Wrapping up we discussed the preparations for the largest drill program to date for 2026, the various Feasibility Study workstreams, and the financial strength of the company which is fully-funded for all these initiatives.     If you have any questions for Thomas regarding Scottie Resources, then please email them in to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Scottie 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 Scottie 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.

Drew Clark, President and CEO of Summit Royalties Ltd. (TSX.V: SUM), joins me to introduce the value proposition and coming growth catalysts from their portfolio of 47 royalty partner projects, mostly focused on gold and silver.   We discuss how this Company started off privately when closing the IAMGOLD Royalty Portfolio Acquisition for $17.5M on May 30th, then the acquisition of a royalty at West Red Lake Gold's Madsen Mine on September 4th.  Then on November 5th the company released news of their “go public” transaction with the reverse takeover of Eagle Royalties the prior day on November 4th, and then their listing as Summit Royalties on the TSX Venture exchange on November 10th.   The Corporation's current portfolio is backstopped by 3 cash-flowing production assets, and an additional 44 royalties on development-stage and exploration-stage properties. The Corporation intends to become the next mid-tier streaming and royalty company through future actionable and accretive acquisitions to increase production and cash flow growth. The Corporation currently has no debt and sufficient cash on-hand for use in future acquisitions.   Drew starts off taking us through the growth on tap for 2026 and beyond at their 3 producing royalties and streams.   Madsen - 1% NSR Royalty focused on gold and operated by West Red Lake Gold Mines in Ontario, Canada Bomboré - 50% Silver Stream; operated by Orezone in Burkina Faso Zancudo - 0.5% NSR Royalty; operated by Denarius Metals in Colombia   Next we reviewed 2 of their key development royalties:   Pitangu - $80/oz until 250 Koz produced - 1.5% NSR thereafter; operated by Jaguar Mining in Brazil AurMac – 0.5% - 2.0% NSR Royalty Coverage; operated by Banyan Gold in the Yukon, Canada   Drew briefly mentions a few other royalties in their portfolio that he sees as valuable, and also highlights that their Net Asset Value (NAV) is weighted towards Canada after Eagle & Madsen Acquisitions, and is trading at an attractive P/NAV multiple at present.   Wrapping up Drew shares his background in the sector, along with other members of the management team and board, along with the capital structure, key stakeholders, and financial health of the company to keep executing on more deals in the year to come.     If you have any follow up questions for Drew about Summit Royalties, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Summit Royalties   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.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins us for a Q3 financial and operations review at their producing McCreedy West copper mine, located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.  We also review the continued high-grade drill results across copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver in more recent assays returned from the ongoing exploration and development work at the Levack Mine. Additionally, we get a nice update on the development pathway at the Crean Hill Project to round out the discussion.   Q3 Financial and Operational Highlights:   The three months ended September 30, 2025 (“Q3 2025”) was Magna's second full quarter of production at the McCreedy West copper-precious metals Mine. Total ore processed in Q3 2025 was 75,215 tons from the 700 Footwall Copper Zone at a grade of 2.64% copper equivalent (“CuEq”). Quarterly production of 2.7 million pounds (“lbs”) CuEq at cash costs of US$5.10/lb CuEq was impacted by the previously disclosed compressed air system failure and power related delays, which delayed access to higher grade stopes and has since been rectified. Sustaining capital expenditures at McCreedy West totalled $4.1 million during the quarter, a 123% increase from Q2 of 2025, including $2.7 million towards critical capital development and $1.4 million in fixed and mobile machinery upgrades, focused on improving asset reliability moving forward. Underground development during the quarter totaled 1,796 feet and continues to be prioritized in Q4 to provide increased production optionality and flexibility to support a more robust operating plan in 2026. Ended Q3 2025 with a cash balance of $63.1 million and subsequent to September 30 the Company issued 14,933,518 common shares upon the exercise of warrants for proceeds of $6.0 million.   Next our conversation with Jason shifted over the workstreams building towards a mine restart plan at Levack Mine in 2026; based on the recently released resource estimate. We reviewed the steady stream of drill assays reported this year from Levack with high-grade copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver intercepts.  Jason highlights the optionality the different zones give the company as far as potential mine sequencing, and he notes growing value of precious metals as contributing metals credits to the project.   We discuss some of the critical zones of mineralize in areas like the No.1 to No. 2 Main area, the Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE deposit, the Keel Zone, and the footwall environment between the No.2 and No. 3 Ni-Cu Zone.  However, another newer discovery area, the R2 Zone, is quickly growing in importance as to how it could impact the early stages of mining in a development scenario; but being earlier-stage it still requires much more drilling.   Levack Exploration Highlights from the R2 Zone, released December 9th include:   FNX6083-W3   12.9% Cu, 140.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 78.0 g/t Ag over 0.3 metres, And 18.6% Cu, 38.5 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 105.0 g/t Ag over 0.6 metres FNX6083-W4   12.3% Cu, 22.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 78.9 g/t Ag over 1.3 metres, FNX2026-W1    4.5% Cu, 12.4 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 30.0 g/t Ag over 0.3 metres, FNX2026-W2   24.8% Cu, 26.3 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 153.0 g/t Ag over 0.3 metres,  And  25.0% Cu, 34.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 151.0 g/t Ag over 0.4 metres   Wrapping up we widened the scope beyond just the currently producing McCreedy West mine, and development of the Levack Mine into an upcoming production decision next year, into another flagship asset in their portfolio at Crean Hill. Jason reviews some work being completed at present by a contract with regards to water treatment, and that there are further development initiatives at Crean Hill ongoing in the background where they will be summarized for investors in the middle of 2026.      With a number of government grants and initiatives available at both the provincial and federal levels, targeting the development of critical minerals projects, Jason highlights that there could be a pathway for dual development of Crean Hill in concert with Levack over the next couple years if they were able to secure some of this non-dilutive capital, or at least an attractive cost of capital.  He reiterated that the Company maintains its ambition to become a multi-mine producer in the Sudbury Basin.   If you have questions for Jason regarding Magna Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Magna Mining at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.    Click here to follow along with the news at Magna Mining   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, Supercycle Investor, Resource Trader, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to outline strategies for portfolio management in lieu of the underlying trends in gold, silver, copper, oil, nat gas, rare earths, antimony, tech stocks, AI stocks, and robotics stocks. He also highlights some of the trades in individual resource stocks in his portfolio.   We start off noting the strong V-shaped recovery in gold and silver and the precious metals equities since our last conversation in late October.  After the sector corrected down sharply from mid-October into early November, it then rallied strongly back up through present in mid-December.   Silver breaking up decisively through the October highs in late November had Sean communicating with his subscribers to get positioned into even more silver stocks over the last couple weeks. In the larger silver stocks Sean got repositioned in both Pan American Silver and Hecla Mining again in 2 of his respective publications and portfolios. He is more animated by the recent outperformance of some of his junior mining stocks, flagging the outperformance in Heliostar Metals, Vizsla Silver, and Avino Silver and Gold.   Sean makes the case for both gold and silver running much higher in the year to come. His medium-term target for gold is at $4,500 and then a run over $5,000 is quite doable. Longer-term he still has an upside target for gold around $6,930. With silver he sees an eventual run to $100 as quite possible next year, and longer-term even a move to $200 would simply bring the metal up to it's inflation-adjusted highs. “I don't think most generalist investors are going to wake up until silver gets to $100, and then they may say ‘Oh, I should add some to my portfolio.' ” “It's not too late really to buy any of the silver miners. Heck, look at our Avino Silver and Gold… it's up 58% already and we didn't add it that long ago.”   From there we broaden out the discussion to the whole commodity complex, which Sean believes will stay in momentum overall. He points to the strength in copper and copper stocks, and advises looking for domestic opportunities to participate in that megatrend as it continues to develop. He feels many of the metals are moving higher in sympathy with the breakout in the precious metals. Sean believes this commodities super-cycle will even begin to drag the lagging traditional energy sector higher once again next year, pointing to the recent strength in natural gas, and the eventual catch-up trade in oil and oil stocks.   Shifting over into some of the niche' elements of the critical minerals sector, we discuss the outsized move higher in rare earths, antimony, and tungsten stocks in the summer into the early fall, but then the harsh correction back lower again, with many equities down 50-70% off their recent highs. Sean reiterates the importance of pulling partial profits when people have outsized gains in their portfolios. He outlined that he advised subscribers to reduce down positions in some of his big winners in rare earths, like MP Materials, and antimony like United States Antimony a couple of months ago. He also trimmed back most of those positions over the last few weeks to still lock in 106% and 85% gains respectively in the remaining portions, highlighting the importance of getting into trends early on at low prices and buying when the trends were in motion but less obvious to the broader markets. While he acknowledged some of these critical minerals sectors may be one of the few areas experiencing tax-loss selling this season, he still thinks investors can pick their spots and get re-positioned as these trends are not over, and China is still back to increasing their export controls on these important commodities.   Wrapping up we looked back at 2025 more big picture, and summarized a great year overall for investors, but marked with extreme moves of volatility in both directions. Sean pointed back to mixed start to the year, the severe market dislocations in most sectors during the April tariff tantrum lows, the strength and rebound of the precious metals, general US equities, and in particular the tech stocks. Sean anticipates the tech stocks continuing to garner a bid in 2026, and highlighted companies that can utilize AI to reduce headcount and improve efficiencies as big future winners. He also flagged the integration of AI into robotics to spur a “robot revolution” in 2026 and moving forward, noting how it takes them from stupid to thinking machines with more utility. He also notes that if we want to build out future robotic workforces for utilization that it is going to take quite a bit more of many commodities including copper, silver, and select rare earths. On the geopolitical front, all the global conflict and rearming of nations militaries are going to keep a bid in defense metals like antimony and next generation defense stocks.   Click here to follow along with Sean's work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends   Click here to learn more about Resource Trader     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joins us to review the latest batch of drill assays announced December 10th, returning the broadest gold mineralization intercepted to date, from the ongoing Phase V exploration program.  These holes were testing for the potential of porphyry mineralization at dept at the Oculto East area of their wholly-owned Diablillos property in Salta Province, Argentina.     John reviews the three latest drill holes from the ongoing Phase V exploration program and that hole # DDH 25-085 at Oculto East intersected a broad 274.0 metre ("m") interval grading 0.60 g/t gold, including a higher-grade 23.0m grading 2.83 g/t gold, together with copper and molybdenum mineralization at depth. This is the deepest drill hole completed to date at Oculto, and it successfully tested a major structural-intrusive corridor extending beneath Oculto East, intersecting pervasive silicification, brecciation, and advanced argillic-silicic alteration interpreted to be related to a larger intrusive at depth. The deeper copper-molybdenum-gold mineralization is characteristic of fertile porphyry environments, and the alteration encountered is consistent with the upper portions of a significant intrusive center of well-developed porphyry systems. These features reinforces the scale, strength, and multi-phase nature of the Diablillos mineralizing system, and clear geological evidence of a vertically extensive system. These results highlight substantial additional exploration potential across the property, which will be followed up on in a Phase 6 drill program.   Drilling continues to extend oxide-hosted gold mineralization well beyond the current conceptual open pit, and this deeper drilling provides further support for a significant porphyry system underlying Oculto. The Phase V drill program remains on track for completion before year-end. To date, 60 holes have been drilled as part of the program and the final six holes will be completed before year-end. John reminds listeners that a deep drill hole was recently completed at the Cerro Viejo porphyry target, located approximately 4 kilometres northeast of Oculto, and assay results are expected shortly.   The Company plans to commence a Phase VI drill program totaling approximately 15,000 metres in January 2026, focusing on Mineral Resource expansion, select deeper porphyry-related targets, and continued step-outs across the Oculto-JAC mineralized cluster. Further details will be provided early in the New Year.   An updated Mineral Resource estimate, incorporating all Phase V drilling, remains scheduled for H1/2026. This estimate will be used for an updated Mineral Reserve and mine plan that will underpin the ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) that will be completed in the same time frame. These workstreams are all happening in tandem with work towards permits which are expected to be received around that same time next year.  Execution on these key catalysts will be the trigger for a construction decision next year.   Wrapping up John reiterates why the limited RIGI laws are so economically advantageous to the Company, relaxing currency controls, reducing export duties to 0% over a couple years, and reducing taxation over a 30 year period.    We also review the positive business and permitting tailwinds in place in Argentina as a jurisdiction for mining.     If you have any follow up questions for John regarding at AbraSilver, then please email them into us at Fleck@kereport.com  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.

Ewan Webster, President and CEO of Thesis Gold Inc. (TSXV: TAU) (WKN: A3EP87) (OTCQX: THSGF), joins us for a comprehensive overview of the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) announced on December 1st, at the combined Lawyers-Ranch Project, in the Toodoggone Mining District of British Columbia.   This Lawyers-Ranch project hosts a resource of 4.7 million gold equivalent ounces, with a substantial silver contribution, but the PFS economics are based solely on the Proven & Probable Reserves of 3.2 Moz AuEq.   PFS highlights are summarized below: Strong Economics at US$2,900 per ounce of gold (oz Au) and US$35 per ounce of silver (oz Ag): Pre-tax: 73.5%, internal rate of return ("IRR") and $3.73 billion net present value at a 5% discount rate ("NPV5%") After-tax: IRR of 54.4% and an NPV5% of $2.37 billion At US$4,100/oz Au and US$51/oz Ag: Pre-tax: 117.4% IRR and $6.86 billion NPV5% After-tax: 87.8% IRR and $4.36 billion NPV5% Strong Early Production: Strong gold-equivalent ("AuEq")* annual production rates for the first three years averaging 266,000 ounces**, and 187,000 ounces** over the Life of Mine. Increased Tonnes Processed, Increased Throughput Rates and Extended Mine Life: Despite the removal of Inferred Resources from the mine plan, total tonnes processed rose by 18% (relative to the 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment). Process plant throughput increased by 9% to 13,700 tonnes per day (t/d) and the mine life increased to 15-years, based solely on Measured and Indicated Resources. Mineral Reserve: Maiden Mineral Reserve statement with 76.16 million tonnes of ore grading 0.97 g/t Au and 28 g/t Ag for a total AuEq grade of 1.33 g/t. Low All-in Sustaining Costs ("AISC"): Average AISC of US$1,185 per AuEq ounce. Silver: Silver production accounts for approximately 23% of revenue. Quick Payback: The Project offers an after-tax payback period of 1.1 years at US$2,900 Au and US$35 Ag. Capex: Initial capital expenditure is estimated at $736.2 million, with a compelling after-tax NPV5%:initial capital ratio of 3.2:1. The initial capital estimate does not consider a potential revenue of $91.1 million in pre-production revenue from processing stockpiles as part of the initial commissioning and ramp-up plan. Project Upside: Significant project upside exists both in the potential to further optimize engineering design through a Feasibility Study, and in the project-wide exploration potential that remains untapped. The PFS did not include recovery of the crown pillar between the open pit and underground workings. With further study there is an opportunity to increase the mineable ore from underground without impacting the open pits. Inferred mineral resources from both Ranch and Lawyers are not captured within the PFS mine plan. Upgrading the classification of these Inferred ounces through additional drilling presents an opportunity to potentially expand the mineable materials. Numerous early-stage and undrilled targets exist across the entirety of the Lawyers-Ranch tenure, and Thesis is focused on a comprehensive, systems-based approach to unlocking additional exploration potential in an emerging porphyry district.       If you have any questions for Ewan regarding Thesis Gold, then please email them into us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Thesis Gold 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 Thesis Gold   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.

David Gower, CEO and Chairman of Emerita Resources (TSX.V: EMO) (OTCQB: EMOTF), joins us to review the news out to the market on December 5th with regards to what the criminal court decision in Spain with regards to Aznalcóllar, how the actual decision on tender being awarded on the Project still comes down to the administrative court. We then dive into the value proposition on their flagship IBW project, the recent acquisition of the expanded San Antonio Project, and the earlier-stage but large and prospective Nuevo Tintillo exploration project.   David summarizes the decision from the Third Section of the Provincial Court of Seville, which has completed the hearings for the criminal trial on the alleged crimes committed during the process of awarding the tender. The hearings commenced on March 3, 2025 and were completed on July 15, 2025.  He goes on to point out that while it would have expedited the process to have a criminal conviction, it is not necessary to still be awarded the Aznalcóllar tender, and that many people have prematurely assumed a definitive outcome.   Then we shifted over to the value proposition of their flagship Iberian Belt West (IBW) Project, which hosts three Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits, that comprise a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate from the La Romanera, La Infanta and El Cura deposits.  David points to the update to the resource estimate that will be coming out in Q1 of 2026, which will then be used to release updated project economics at IBW. Rising metals prices as well as increased metals recovery rates from a series of metallurgical tests will result in expanded metrics in both studies.   Next we reviewed the 2 new properties acquired a few months ago, cumulatively referred to as the San Antonio Project, which substantially increased Emerita's wholly owned Iberian Pyrite Belt holdings; taking the Company's total mineral property holdings in the IBW area to 8,144 hectares. Wrapping up David highlights the prospectivity of the large earlier-stage Neuvo Tintillo Project, strategically located in between prior producing and development-stage projects in the mineralized belt.   There will be a drill program commencing here in H2 of 2026.     If you have any follow up questions for David regarding Emerita Resources, then email those in to us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Emerita 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 Emerita 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.

Justin Reid, President and CEO of Troilus Mining Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF) (FSE: CM5R), joins me for a comprehensive update on their recent name change from Troilus Gold due to them having a project of scale with a substantial copper component, at the Gold-Copper Troilus Project located in northcentral Quebec, Canada.    The potential for large future copper production, in concert with the gold and silver, has been integral in building out the capital stack with ECAs and MCAs, getting offtake agreements in place, and in bringing in key investors into the most recent capital raise.  In addition, we discuss the advancement of basic and detailed engineering studies, get an update on the permitting progress, review peer comparisons on valuations, and discuss the exploration success at the Southwest Zone and the upcoming regional drill program,   We start off noting that at present there are already 13 million gold equivalent ounces in all categories in place at the deposit; but that the 22 year projected mine life and robust economics are only factored on roughly half of these resources at present.   On November 19, 2025,Troilus Mining announced that it has increased its previously announced debt financing mandate from US$700 million to up to US$1 billion. The upsizing of the mandate reflects the strength of current commodity markets and the material uplift in project economics relative to the conservative assumptions used in the Feasibility Study. It also underscores the continued confidence of the Company's lending partners and Troilus' growing strategic importance as one of North America's next major copper-gold mines.   On November 14, 2025, Troilus Mining announced that it has closed its previously announced bought deal public offering, including exercise of the over allotment option issuing 133,722,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $1.29 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $172,501,380. The net proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares will be used by the Company to fund ongoing pre-development activities, debt repayment, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.   Basic engineering of the Project led by engineering partner BBA Inc has now mostly been completed, and is moving on to detailed engineering.  Following the completion of trade-off studies and process flowsheet definition earlier this year, the focus shifted to cost estimation, procurement, and execution planning. Major deliverables - including capital cost estimates, vendor evaluations, and project execution plans - are now well advanced, supporting a targeted construction decision in 2026. Key trade-off studies were conducted, resulting in design improvements to support scalability, operational robustness, and energy efficiency, with minimal impact to capex.   Construction Readiness and Commissioning Preparation   Layouts of construction facilities have been developed to optimize logistics and cost planning. Review of 3D models for the Project's process plant, dry comminution circuit, and site infrastructure is over 30% complete. Commissioning systems have been identified and sequenced to ensure a structured transition from construction to operations.   Switching over to the permitting progress, on June 25th the Company announced that it had officially filed the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) with both the Government of Québec and the Government of Canada. The submission of the ESIA marks a major milestone in the development of the Troilus Project, representing the culmination of over five years of comprehensive baseline studies, robust technical evaluations, and meaningful engagement with Indigenous and local communities. Permitting should time out with remaining economic studies and engineering for a construction decision in 2026.   Wrapping up we discussed all the infill and expansion drilling at the Southwest Zone this year that will continue into next year, which has continued to hit increased grades over broad intercepts.  Raising the grade profile of this key area positively impacts the first 5 years of mining in the development scenario.  Justin also highlights regional drilling opportunities that the exploration team will pursue in 2026.     If you have any questions for Justin regarding Troilus Gold, then please email them over to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Troilus Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow along with the latest news from Troilus Gold   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 KE Report update, we speak with Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, President & CEO of Contango ORE (NYSE American: CTGO), and Shawn Khunkhun, President & CEO of Dolly Varden Silver (NYSE American: DVS, TSX-V: DV), to outline the strategic merger creating a new high-grade gold–silver producer. Why the merger works Contango brings strong cash flow (≈US$100M/yr) from the Mahn Choh DSO operation with Kinross, while Dolly Varden contributes a high-grade silver–gold portfolio in BC's Golden Triangle.  Development pipeline Lucky Shot remains next in line for production using the DSO model, followed by the high-grade Johnson Tract project. Dolly Varden's Wolf, Homestake, and broader Kitsault Valley assets gain funding and technical depth to accelerate exploration. DSO strategy advantages High grade, small footprint, no mill or tailings required, and access to existing underutilized processing facilities support a scalable, low-capex production approach. Valuation opportunity The combined entity is expected to begin around 0.5x NAV, with potential re-rating as size, liquidity, cash flow, and index inclusion improve.

Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources (TSX.V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF), joins me to review the most recent batches of high-grade gold drill assay results reported over the last month from the 64,000 meter 9-rig 2025 drill program; at the Surebet Discovery on its 100% controlled Golddigger Property, located in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.   Select highlights outlined in the news released on December 2nd:   Headline drill hole # GD-25-383 intersected 7.28 g/t Au over 8.00 meters, within 5.85 g/t Au over 10.00 meters in the Eocene-aged Reduced Intrusion Related Gold (RIRG) dyke that remains open. Drill hole # GD-25-311 intersected two gold-rich veins, including 15.13 g/t Au over 3 meters from a section of quartz-sulphide veining with multiple occurrences of VG-NE corresponding to the Bonanza Zone that remains open. Drill hole # GD-25-370 intersected three gold-rich veins in the Bonanza Zone that remains open assayed up to 5.66 g/t Au over 5.05 meters, including 9.24 g/t Au over 3.05 meters from a zone of strong quartz sulphide veining and breccia with numerous occurrences of VG-NE.   Select highlights outlined in the news released on November 17th, 2025:   Headline Drill hole # GD-25-377 intersected three separate intervals. The first being 10.25 g/t Au over 7.02 meters, within 7.16 g/t Au over 10.84 meters, within 5.20 g/t Au over 15.00 meters containing multiple occurrences of VG-NE within a zone of strong quartz-sulphide veining hosted in the Bonanza Zone that remains open. Drill hole # GD-25-332 intersected 13.38 g/t Au over 5.75 meters, including 15.83 g/t Au over 4.86 meters, including 19.87 g/t Au over 3.87 meters part of a zone of quartz-sulphide veining containing multiple occurrences of VG-NE hosted in in the Goldzilla Vein that remains open. Drill hole # GD-25-380 intersected 6.61 g/t Au over 5.80 meters, within 4.83 g/t Au over 8.00 meters from an interval corresponding to the Goldzilla Vein containing VG-NE in quartz-sulphide veins.   Roger outlines that the high-grade gold-mineralization seen in in the Reduced Intrusion Related Gold (RIRG) dyke in hole #383 is right between prior holes #237 and #226 drilled in 2023, showing the broad mineralization and good odd of continuity in the Eocene-aged mineralization.   It adds to the thesis to continue testing and drilling the many other RIRG dykes in the system.   He also points out that the high-grade gold intercepts coming from drillholes into the Bonanza Zone, (a series of stacked veins dipping to the southeast, where the sediment rock packages contact the volcanic rock packages), has been expanded this mineralization to 1.25 km along its east-west orientation. The mineralized trend still remains open for expansion to the northwest where Bonanza extends for 580 meters.  He notes that there are plenty of holes still pending to report from this year's program, and many targets to keep going after in the Bonanza Zone in next year's fully funded drill program.   Assays are still pending for 70 holes from this year's exploration campaign, of which 55 (representing 79% of the total pending) contain up to 12 occurrences of visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE); see images in the press release from December 2nd. The intercepts reported thus far are approximately true width and reflect gold only assays (AuEq values will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn multi-element assays are returned from the lab in the weeks and months to come).     If you have any questions for Roger about Goliath Resources, then please email me at 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.

Dave Cole, CEO of Elemental Royalty Corporation (TSXV: ELE) (Nasdaq: ELE) joins me to outline the value proposition of the proforma combination of Elemental Altus Royalties with EMX Royalty Corporation, to form an emerging intermediate royalty company. In addition to circling the globe to highlight various partner projects and operators inside their portfolio of royalties, we also discuss the value of having Tether Investments S.A. de C.V as a key stakeholder.   We start reminding investors of the big-picture rationale for this merger; creating a larger royalty company of scale, graduating up to the intermediate category.  The new combined Company will have more analyst coverage and liquidity, a better cost of capital, the financial strength from the backing of the key strategic shareholder Tether Investments; and the potential to rerate in the future to a better price to net asset value multiple more in alignment with larger royalty peers.   Dave then takes us through a global tour of their diversified portfolio of royalties across precious metals, critical minerals, and battery metals. He touched upon their key cornerstone royalty partner projects like Caserones, Timok, Karlawinda, and Laverton, as well as a number of other solid producing royalties on Leeville, Gediktepe, Balya, and the suite of West African royalties (Korali-Sud, Wahgnion, and Bonikro).  Dave also flagged a few key large development projects with compelling royalty upside as those projects move towards development, like the Cactus and Peak projects in Arizona, Diablillos in Argentina, Viscaria & Vittangi in Sweden, and Laverton in Australia.   In addition to growing royalties year over year, there are also a number of one-off incoming payments on 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.   Dave points to the organic development growth still on tap in their portfolio of royalties, the future upside of their continued royalty generation strategy, the potential for larger future royalty acquisitions and royalty financings to create new royalties, and that further down the road they'll keep their eyes out for accretive M&A opportunities.     Wrapping up Dave highlights the importance of having Tether Investments as their key strategic shareholder, and they financially backstop the kinds of accretive acquisitions that they can now go after. He also explains a bit more background on the use case for Tether stablecoins, how their company generates revenues holding treasuries, and why they are storing so much of their profits in gold, farmland, and royalty company equities.     If you have any follow up questions for Dave or the team ate Elemental Royalty Corp, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.     In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of both Elemental Royalty Corp 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 Elemental Royalty Corp   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.

[Webinar Replay from December 4th, 2025]  Trey Wasser, CEO, and Maura Kolb, President, of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF), join us for an exclusive Webinar recapping the key takeaways from the 2025 exploration program in this comprehensive visual update with management. We touch upon all the various work programs that were completed this year at the 3 regional areas:  Gold Rock Camp, Sherridon, and Hyndman across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.   We kick things off with Trey outlining the strength of the management team and board of directors, as well as the very strong list of high profile shareholders like Eric Sprott, Rob McEwen, Bob Quartermain, a number of key funds and institutions, and their 2 key strategic shareholders in Centerra Gold and Alamos Gold.   Next Maura dove into an expanded review of some the key targets drilled this season's 15,000 meter program along both the Big Master and Elora Gold trends at the Gold Rock Camp,  incorporating the data sets from the D1, D2, and new understanding of the D3 structural faulting trends.  Maura highlights the drill results from around the Elora-Jubilee Target, Pearl Target, and Laurentian Mine Target, and the recent results at the drilling done testing the gap areas between those targets.  We also discuss the significance of the broader bulk tonnage mineralization that is then being upgraded by the multiple high-grade intercepts along the hanging wall and foot wall trends.   We then shifted up to the initial drilling done this year at the Mud Lake target area, and how these same 3 geological deformation faults and folds are present here as well, further northeast along the Gold Rock Camp trend.  There are 4 drill holes here awaiting assays to come back from the lab in the near-term.  Maura highlights that there is a periodicity to this larger system along the 20kms of strike length, which demonstrate similar geological properties to the Elora Gold Shear Zone, and they'll be following up to exploration work and targeting on more areas of interest in the year to come.   Pivoting out to the regional targets, we discussed the 3rd area of focus from this year's program at Hyndman, following up on the detailed mapping from 2024, and the channel sampling program along existing outcrop exposures.  Maura outlines where the first drill holes will be drilled at Hyndman in the 2026 season.   Next we reviewed the first 3 drill holes put in at the Sherridon regional area, which is hosted within a large geophysical anomaly with a strike length of five kilometers. Testing to date has focused on a small portion of that trend leaving the Sherridon target open in all directions. Additional drill targets for next year will be designed based on this seasons drill results and geological interpretations from expanded mineral assays, geochemistry and re-logging of historic core.   Wrapping up Trey discussed the financial health of the company and that when the strong cash position of the company is combined with the recent exercise of in-the-money warrants, that the company is fully funded for exploration initiatives heading into 2026.     If you have any questions for Trey or Maura regarding Dryden Gold, then please email them into us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dryden Gold 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 Dryden Gold     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.

Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV: SCZ) (OTCQX: SCZMF) (FSE: 1SZ), joins me to reiterate their decision to uplist onto the Nasdaq exchange in the US in early 2026, and to delve into the details of Q3 2025 financial and operational results across their portfolio of producing mines in Bolivia and Mexico.   On October 28th, the Company announced that it has applied to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market (NASDAQ); as a significant milestone in Santacruz's growth strategy. We discussed how a big board US listing will increase transparency and liquidity to an expanded American shareholder base, and he explains the rationale for going with the NASDAQ over the NYSE. Santacruz Silver paid off their loan to Glencore in September, and is generating record revenues at current metals prices; so they are in a totally different financial position than a pre-revenue junior resource stock that goes through a share consolidation. The only real change will be a higher share price and a reduced number of outstanding shares post-consolidation, simply to meet the NASDAQ listing requirements.   Q3 2025 Highlights (noted in US dollars)   Revenues of $79.99 million, a 2% increase year-over-year. Gross Profit of $20.17 million, a 28% increase year-over-year. Net Income of $16.34 million, a 7% decrease year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA of $19.51 million, a 67% increase year-over-year. Cash & Marketable securities of $59.23 million, a 225% increase year-over-year. Working Capital of $69.20 million, a 186% increase year-over-year. AISC per silver equivalent ounce sold of $35.62, a 30% increase year-over-year.  This increased AISC was temporary for this quarter due to brief change currency FX exchange rates, Bolivar dewatering initiatives and reduces production in the quarter, and the development investment at the 960 level at Zimapan. Silver Equivalent Ounces produced of 3,424,817, a 30% increase year-over-year.   Arturo guides us through a comprehensive review of all their producing operations starting off addressing how Q3 captured the largest impacts of the water inflow event that first occurred at the Bolívar Mine in May 2025. Since then, their operations team has strengthened the pumping system at Bolívar, with the fourth line commissioned in September and then the installation of a fifth submersible line in Q4; which together have increased total pumping capacity to 340 liters per second (l/s). These improvements are facilitating the gradual dewatering and recovery of the affected zones in the Bolívar mine and production is ongoing. The Company expects production from the high-grade Pomabamba and Nané vein areas at Bolívar to resume in February 2026 and ramp up steadily through the remainder of the year.   Next we reviewed the strategic importance of the small but high-margin Porco Mine, giving the company a foothold and good visibility to the Potosi mining district.  Then rounding out the review of Bolivian assets, we moved over to the low-cost Caballo Blanco Group of mines and the high-margin San Lucas Group Lucas feed sourcing business (which now includes ore blended from the Reserva Mine). Arturo highlights how the San Lucas metals sales helped offset the lower silver production at the Bolívar Mine in Q3, and will do so again in Q4, providing a great defensive and growing asset inside their portfolio.   In Mexico, Zimapán continued to deliver stable production, reflecting consistent plant throughput and recoveries. Part of the reason for higher costs in Q2 and Q3 have been all the equipment and development work invested this year into accessing the higher-grade 960 Level at the Zimapan Mine.   This 960 Level is starting to contribute more in the latter part of the Q4 production profile from Zimapan, but will be more significant in Q1 of 2026 and beyond, with capital investment coming down, and grade and metal recoveries going up.    Wrapping up we looked ahead to 2026 and discussed future growth through exploration around current mines, the development of the Soracaya Project, and the potential for future accretive acquisitions in the Americas.   If you have any follow up questions for Arturo regarding Santacruz Silver, then please email those to me Shad@kereport.com.     In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Santacruz Silver 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 Santacruz Silver     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.

We're joined by Caleb Stroup, President & CEO of Headwater Gold (CSE:HWG | OTCQB:HWAUF), to discuss the newly announced $25 million earn-in agreement with Centerra Gold on the Crane Creek Project in Idaho. Key Highlights Centerra Earn-In Overview A three-stage structure allowing Centerra to earn up to 70% of Crane Creek: • Stage 1: $10M over four years (including $2.5M guaranteed) to earn 51% • Stage 2: Additional $15M to reach 60% • Stage 3: Completion of a PEA with a 1Moz gold resource to reach 70% The deal also includes a 1–2% royalty back to Headwater. Geological Potential Crane Creek hosts both bulk-tonnage epithermal mineralization and outcropping high-grade veins, offering strong discovery upside. Initial Work Plans Early work will target the Consolidated Vein Zone while testing step-outs to better define the system's scale. Additional Drilling Underway Active programs with OceanaGold and Newmont continue, with results expected into early 2026.

Alex Langer, President and CEO of Sierra Madre Gold And Silver (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), joins me for a review of Q3 operations and financials from the ramp-up of silver and gold production from the La Guitarra, Coloso, and Nazareno mines.  We also unpack the planned two-stage expansion at their La Guitarra processing plant located in Estado de Mexico, Mexico.    Alex discussed how the ongoing purchase of additional milling and processing equipment along with rolling fleet equipment will allow for the implementation of increased production in incremental stages over the next 2 years.   These planned expansions would increase the site's nameplate processing capacity by 50% from the current 500 dry tonnes per day (tpd) to a range of 750 - 800 tpd by Q2 2026. This first expansion would involve the construction of a paste fill and thickener plant, the addition of a fourth ball mill and second cone crusher as well as an increase in the conveyor circuit's material handling capacity. Subsequently, construction of a new, fully permitted, Dry Stack Tailings Storage Facility and addition of a second crushing circuit would increase processing capacity to a range of 1,200 tpd to 1,500 tpd by Q3 2027. The Company currently has access to the capital to complete these expansions, which we anticipate funding from the Company's treasury and cash flow, eliminating the need for further near-term capital raises.   In addition to throughput growth, there will also be grade-driven growth at the La Guitarra complex. This higher-grade ore which will continue be sourced from both the Coloso and Nazareno Mines to augment the material from the La Guitarra Mine, in addition to development work at La Guitarra reaching higher grad material. As production and operations continue ramping up this blended material will raise the grades and recoveries of gold and silver, as well as start lowering costs over the next few quarters.       Wrapping up we discuss the preparations and early targeting work underway to engage in a significant exploration program at the East District concessions, which will include a drill program of over 25,000 meters.  The property hosts 8 different past-producing mines, with the first 2 priorities being to explore around the El Rincon and Mina de Agua mines.      If you have any questions for Alex regarding Sierra Madre Gold and Silver, then please email them to me at either Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Sierra Madre Gold and Silver and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow along with the latest news from Sierra Madre Gold & Silver   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.

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Underground Alpha, joins us for a longer-format discussion with macroeconomic factors, veteran stock tips and opportunities in select silver, gold, lithium, and copper stocks.   We start off discussing the break in silver to all-time highs, coming out of the mid-October through mid-November corrective move in the precious metals sector.  Nick points out that in light of this sector resurgence in silver, gold, and also copper over the last few weeks, that we've continued to witness large, outsized financings in companies like Vizsla Silver and Arizona Sonoran Copper; that were aggressively taken up in very short periods of time.  This underscores the large pools of money on the sidelines that are still quite interested in getting positioned with the highest quality projects as the metals bull market continues to unfold.   We review how the recent moves in both gold and silver to record levels have become too big to ignore for generalist investors and analysts, that will now shift their gaze to the expanded margins playing out in Q4 and continue to push PM producers to higher levels.   He flagged the capital flows and stock performance in royalty companies like Royal Gold and Empress Royalties as evidence that more generalists and institutional funds were being drawn into the precious metals sector. This led to a discussion about the substantial positioning of Tether Investments recently into a handful of royalty and streaming companies; which may pave the way for more rotation of funds from the crypto space into the PM stocks.   Additionally, Nick sees the most undervalued opportunities in the brownfield developers with defined ounces in the ground, compelling economics, and that are moving down the pathway towards production. He pointed to companies like Perpetua Resources and Revival Gold as good examples of developers up near 52 weeks highs, garnering interest from investors, but that still had more runway to keep appreciating in price to NAV metrics.   Even the exploration stocks focused on new discoveries are getting a stronger bid in this environment, and Nick points to the move up this year in Kingsmen Resources, including the move today on the back of a silver/gold discovery in Mexico.   Next we shift over to the uptick in both the lithium carbonate pricing on the global markets, as well as a renewed interest in many lithium stocks. Nick unpacked his investing journey and strategy utilizing early positioning in private placements to experience multi-fold returns in lithium stocks like Q2 Metals, and Lion Rock Resources, both with compelling recent exploration results.   Wrapping up we touched about the continued favorable supply/demand fundamentals in the copper sector, the improving pricing strength in copper itself, and the recent surge in copper producers in several ETFs. Nick mentioned positions in the (PICK) iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers ETF, the positive market reaction in Ivanhoe Mines despite reduced production forecasts, and the M&A positioning for Teck Resources from AngloAmerican and BHP as evidence of a pickup in interest in copper and base metals producers.   Click here to follow Nick's analysis and publications over at Digest Publishing   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.

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.

Recorded December 1st, 2025:  Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to outline any adjustments that he is making to the value proposition in 3 gold exploration stocks, based around recent press releases and milestones.   He sees this newsflow and fundamental catalysts as much more relevant for any changes to the company's valuation (either up or down), rather than the improving sentiment within the backdrop of rising underlying precious metals price environment.      The companies we discuss in this interview are:     Montage Gold Corp. (TSX: MAU, OTCQX: MAUTF) – On November 28, 2025 — Montage Gold Corp. announced that it has entered into a binding Scheme Implementation Deed with African Gold Limited (ASX: A1G) pursuant to which Montage will acquire all of the issued share capital of African Gold that it does not already own, by way of an Australian court-approved Scheme of Arrangement. The Transaction adds the high-quality resource-stage Didievi project in Côte d'Ivoire to Montage's portfolio and strengthens its footprint in the country, where it has established a strong presence through its ongoing build of its Koné project, which remains on-budget and well on schedule.   K2 Gold Corp. (TSX.V: KTO) (OTCQB: KTGDF) – On December 1, 2025, K2 Gold announced that the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for K2's Mojave Exploration Drilling Project in Inyo County, CA. This milestone follows rigorous independent review, over 100 days of public comment and scoping, and consultation with local communities representing a significant step forward in de-risking and advancing one of the most compelling exploration projects in the United States.   FinEx Metals Ltd. (TSX.V: FINX) – On November 25, 2025, FinEx Metals announced that it has received initial assay results for the first five drill holes from the East Target of its 100%-owned Ruoppa gold project, located in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt of northern Finland. The Company completed its first diamond drill program at Ruoppa, comprising fourteen drill holes totalling 2,483 metres, in August and September 2025.     Click here to follow Erik's analysis over at The Hedgeless Horseman website   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 daily editorial, Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, breaks down the historic acceleration in precious metals, with Silver surging over 15% in November and now approaching $60/oz. Craig argues this sustained move is fundamentally different from past spikes and serves as a "front run" to major bullish developments anticipated in 2026. We analyze the glaring valuation disconnect in mining shares - despite record metal prices - and the imminent catch-up trade, which is part of a broader "hard asset" boom that includes Copper and Gold. Key Discussion Points: Silver's New Analog: Why the current market action is a sustained breakout, similar to Gold's 2024 move, rather than a fleeting spike. The Valuation Disconnect: Analysis of the historic lag in GDX and silver miners (SIL), signaling a massive catch-up trade is imminent based on Q4 margin expansion. Macro Drivers: Discussion on the weakening US Dollar and massive US Treasury deficits fueling the need for hard assets. The Hard Asset Trade: Simultaneous monthly high closes across Gold, Silver, Copper, GDX, and COPX signaling a major, sustained commodity trend.

Heat stress is a major component of plant health and it in growing more and more timely each year. Understanding how plants do or do not tolerate heat can teach us a lot about not only individual species, but communities and habitats as a whole. Joining us to talk about this is Dr. Brad Posch who is trying to understand the consequences of heat stress at the leaf level. He and his colleagues are tackling these questions in the Sonoran Desert where so many plants are living on a knife edge of survival. This episode was produced in part by Matthew, April, Dana, Lilith, Sanza, Eva, Yellowroot, Wisewren, Nadia, Heidi, Blake, Josh, Laure, R.J., Carly, Lucia, Dana, Sarah, Lauren, Strych Mind, Linda, Sylvan, Austin, Sarah, Ethan, Elle, Steve, Cassie, Chuck, Aaron, Gillian, Abi, Rich, Shad, Maddie, Owen, Linda, Alana, Sigma, Max, Richard, Maia, Rens, David, Robert, Thomas, Valerie, Joan, Mohsin Kazmi Photography, Cathy, Simon, Nick, Paul, Charis, EJ, Laura, Sung, NOK, Stephen, Heidi, Kristin, Luke, Sea, Shannon, Thomas, Will, Jamie, Waverly, Brent, Tanner, Rick, Kazys, Dorothy, Katherine, Emily, Theo, Nichole, Paul, Karen, Randi, Caelan, Tom, Don, Susan, Corbin, Keena, Robin, Peter, Whitney, Kenned, Margaret, Daniel, Karen, David, Earl, Jocelyn, Gary, Krysta, Elizabeth, Southern California Carnivorous Plant Enthusiasts, Pattypollinators, Peter, Judson, Ella, Alex, Dan, Pamela, Peter, Andrea, Nathan, Karyn, Michelle, Jillian, Chellie, Linda, Laura, Miz Holly, Christie, Carlos, Paleo Fern, Levi, Sylvia, Lanny, Ben, Lily, Craig, Sarah, Lor, Monika, Brandon, Jeremy, Suzanne, Kristina, Christine, Silas, Michael, Aristia, Felicidad, Lauren, Danielle, Allie, Jeffrey, Amanda, Tommy, Marcel, C Leigh, Karma, Shelby, Christopher, Alvin, Arek, Chellie, Dani, Paul, Dani, Tara, Elly, Colleen, Natalie, Nathan, Ario, Laura, Cari, Margaret, Mary, Connor, Nathan, Jan, Jerome, Brian, Azomonas, Ellie, University Greens, Joseph, Melody, Patricia, Matthew, Garrett, John, Ashley, Cathrine, Melvin, OrangeJulian, Porter, Jules, Griff, Joan, Megan, Marabeth, Les, Ali, Southside Plants, Keiko, Robert, Bryce, Wilma, Amanda, Helen, Mikey, Michelle, German, Joerg, Cathy, Tate, Steve, Kae, Carole, Mr. Keith Santner, Lynn, Aaron, Sara, Kenned, Brett, Jocelyn, Ethan, Sheryl, Runaway Goldfish, Ryan, Chris, Alana, Rachel, Joanna, Lori, Paul, Griff, Matthew, Bobby, Vaibhav, Steven, Joseph, Brandon, Liam, Hall, Jared, Brandon, Christina, Carly, Kazys, Stephen, Katherine, Manny, doeg, Daniel, Tim, Philip, Tim, Lisa, Brodie, Bendix, Irene, holly, Sara, and Margie.

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins me to highlight their recently announced transformational acquisition of the Bolanitos Gold-Silver Mine from Endeavour Silver, and to review the key takeaways from Q3 2025 operations and financials.  We also end the discussion getting his technical outlook on the recent price action, and supply/demand fundamentals for silver.     On November 24th Guanajuato Silver announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Bolanitos gold-silver located in Guanajuato, Mexico, from Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX:EDR) for total consideration of up to US$50 million, consisting of (i) upfront consideration at closing of US$40, which is comprised of US$30 million in cash and US$10 million of Guanajuato Silver common at a deemed price of US$0.2709413 (Cdn$0.3815) per share. (ii) In addition to the Upfront Consideration, Guanajuato Silver will make two contingent payments to Endeavour, each being US$5 million, upon achieving production of two million ounces of silver-equivalent and four million ounces of silver-equivalent, respectively. Each Contingent Payment will be satisfied 50% in cash and 50% in Guanajuato Shares.   Bolanitos Acquisition Highlights   Bolanitos will be Guanajuato Silver's 5th producing precious metals mine in Mexico. Upon the completion of the Transaction, the Company will operate three primary silver mines (Topia, Valenciana, and El Cubo) and two primary gold mines (Bolanitos and San Ignacio). 2024 Production at Bolanitos totaled 2,471,027 silver-equivalent (AgEq) ounces from 427,646 tonnes grading 39 g/t silver and 1.98 g/t gold for 452,627 ounces of silver and 25,230 ounces of gold. Silver and gold recoveries were 84.4% and 92.7% respectively. AgEq calculated at 80:1 silver to gold ratio (see Endeavour MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024). The acquisition of Bolanitos significantly increases Guanajuato Silver's resource base, adding in approximately 25 million silver equivalent ounces. The incorporation of the San Ignacio Mine into the Bolanitos Mines Complex is expected to rapidly generate improved economics and expanded mine life; mineralized material mined at San Ignacio will now be transported to the nearby 1,600 tonnes per day Bolanitos flotation plant; as Bolanitos and San Ignacio are contiguous to one another, this is expected to dramatically reduce transportation costs and increase utilization at the Bolanitos mill. The Transaction also includes the acquisition of the historic Cebada mine, which is located contiguous and to the north of theCompany's Valenciana Mines Complex (VMC). The Company intends to reactivate Cebada, which is currently on care and maintenance, as an important exploration and development project.   Selected Q3 2025 Operational and Financial Highlights:    Working capital improved over the quarter by $11.3M or 168% compared to Q2; working capital for Q3 2025 was $4.6M compared to negative $6.7M in Q2 2025. The Company reported positive operating cash flows of $3,065,567 for the first nine months of 2025; in Q3 the Company generated positive cash flow from mining operations of $712,271 with realized metal prices of $39.03 for Silver and $3,441 for gold. Production for the quarter of 457,525 silver-equivalent ounces (AgEq) comprising 245,369 ounces of silver, 2,025 ounces of gold, 597,269 pounds of lead and 741,595 pounds of zinc. Silver equivalents are calculated using an 87.70:1 (Ag/Au), 0.02:1 (Ag/Pb) and 0.03:1 (Ag/Zn) ratio for Q3 2025. Increased capital expenditures over the quarter are expected to generate improved efficiencies into 2026. Capital expenditures were 97% higher in Q3 over Q2. The investments included additions to the mining fleet, relining of Mill 3 at El Cubo, continued work to install a Falcon gravity concentrator at the Topia plant designed to further increase gold recoveries in concentrates, pre-development work at Pinguico, and dewatering programs at both Valenciana and El Cubo.   Wrapping up James and I discuss the continued bullish technical setup in the silver price, closing this last Friday at an all-time high, and breaking well above long-term resistance at $50, and even more intermediate-term resistance around $54.   James lays out the fundamental supply/demand environment for silver, and why the framework is there to keep seeing elevated silver prices moving forward.   James also gives listeners an update on the gold:silver ratio, putting current pricing in the context of historical patterns.       If you have any follow up questions for James on Guanajuato Silver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Guanajuato Silver 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 Guanajuato Silver   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.

Deserts present a unique set of challenges to plants, especially when you are trying to restore them to the landscape. Drought, heat, soil salinity and more can make desert plant restoration seriously challenging. Luckily, Ali Schuessler and her colleagues at the Desert Botanical Garden are working hard to understand if soil microbes like fungi can help put ecosystems back together. Join us for a fascinating look at this process.

One of the biggest hurdles to native plant gardening is sourcing native plants. Whereas nurseries are starting to fill the demand, it is nevertheless difficult to keep up with demand. Sourcing seed from the wild is a major part of this process, but how do we do it ethically? Stripping native plant populations of their seeds isn't good for the habitats they comprise so this is where groups like the Mid-Atlantic Regional Seed Bank (MARSB) come in.
