Canadian equities gained in the second quarter of 2026 even as the economy tripped the technical definition of a recession and an oil shock sent crude toward $120 before it fell back. Institutional portfolio manager Kevin Minas and investment counsellor Stu Morrow review the quarter, from the gap between the Canadian market and the Canadian economy to the case for holding commodity exposure as geopolitical risk becomes a recurring feature rather than a one-off. They also discuss what a narrow, AI-led rally means for a diversified portfolio, record hyperscaler bond issuance in Canada, and how the Bank of Canada and the Fed held rates through a volatile stretch. The conversation closes on the quarter's asset allocation: trimming equities back toward a neutral mix. Key Takeaways Canada met the technical definition of a recession, but the picture underneath was nuanced. GDP rebounded about 0.5% in April with most industries expanding, and per-capita output grew, closer to a stall-speed economy than a true contraction. The market and the economy can tell different stories. Financials and energy dominate the TSX while real estate and healthcare drive more of the real economy, which helps explain a roughly 7% TSX return alongside soft growth. Geopolitical risk increasingly looks like a recurring condition rather than a rare tail event. With oil spiking near $120 before falling back toward $70, the episode makes the case that commodity exposure can play a portfolio-construction role, chosen selectively where valuation and business quality support it, rather than serving as a call on prices. The Fed stood pat under new chair Kevin Warsh, and the Bank of Canada held across its April and June meetings after cutting substantially. In Canadian bonds, the team added duration as yields rose on inflation fears and removed it as they fell. On AI, the aim is not to guess whether the buildout keeps running, but to choose which risk to live with: too much concentration in the theme on one side, or falling behind by stepping away from it on the other. The team keeps the portfolio from leaning too far in either direction by weighing the companies spending on the buildout against the hyperscalers earning from it, since one company's capital spending is another's revenue. With memory stocks, the risk lies less in the multiple paid than in the cyclicality of the earnings. Credit was constructive, with record hyperscaler issuance in Canada including a $14 billion Amazon deal that Mawer participated in. With spreads tight, positioning stayed higher-quality and shorter-dated, and the balanced strategy trimmed equities back toward a neutral asset mix.

Tim Shearcroft, CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSX.V: BPAG) (OTCQB: BPSCF), joins me for an exploration update now that the 2,000-meter Phase 2 drill program has begun at the Cosuño Silver Project in Bolivia. This Phase 2 drilling forms part of a broader ~8,000 m diamond drilling campaign anticipated for 2026.   The Phase 2 drill program is designed to test the broader scale potential of the Cosuño lithocap-hosted hydrothermal system and build on the positive results of the Company's Phase 1 drill program; and will comprise approximately 20 to 24 diamond drill holes. The first drill hole is currently following up on high-grade silver mineralization intersected at the Pocañita Chica target, where discovery drilling returned 5 m grading 600.40 g/t silver, including 1 m grading 1,655 g/t silver.   We then discuss the series of other exploration workstreams that will be commencing over the next couple months, such as: the MAG Survey, IP Survey, more mapping and sampling. Together, these datasets are expected to improve significantly the Company's understanding of the geometry, continuity, scale, and tenor of the vein and breccia systems across Cosuño.   Once this new data gets incorporated into the geological model, then it will lead into prioritizing the targets for the 6,000 meter Phase 3 drill program later this year. Tim also highlighted that Pocañita Grande will be getting its maiden drilling during the Phase 3 program, now that they have been developing roads and site access to this important target.   Click here to follow the latest news from BP Silver Corp If you have any questions for Tim regarding BP Silver, then please email those into me at Shad@kereport.com.     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) (OTCQX: SUMMF), joins me to outline the transformational acquisition of Star Royalties Ltd. (TSXV: STRR, OTCQX: STRFF), which closed on July 3rd, 2026. The Arrangement materially expands Summit's portfolio with the addition of Star's royalty and streaming interests, including a 4% gold stream on Mining Americas Inc.'s (formerly Minera Alamos Inc.) Copperstone Project in Arizona.   The Copperstone gold stream provides Summit Royalties with exposure to a fully permitted Arizona gold development project where Mining Americas recently announced a positive pre-feasibility study and a formal construction decision. Based on the PFS results and current estimates, project construction is expected to take approximately one year, with initial production of 46,000 oz of gold per year anticipated by mid-2027.   Drew highlighted the upside potential to continue to grow the underground resources of the Copperstone Mine, considering Mining Americas having just announced a planned increase in the mill throughput from 600tpd to 1000tpd. Additionally, Mining Americas just announced there is a portion of resources outside of the PFS that exist in near-surface areas in proximity to the historic open pit excavations, and the Company believes there is potential for gold mineralization to be extracted via open pit mining methods.  This open pit was not even factored in the initial valuation process, and Drew mentioned it was now like getting a gold stream on 2 mines for the price of 1.     Together with their existing portfolio, including a royalty on Jaguar Mining's near-term producing Pitangui Project, where development is expected to commence in 2026 with first gold production targeted in 2027, this acquisition transaction of the gold stream on Copperstone strengthens the Company's future revenue and cash flow growth.     With the closing of the Arrangement, Summit's portfolio now includes 48 royalties and streams, anchored with four producing assets, two assets expected to enter construction in 2026 which are targeted to begin production in 2027, and 42 additional royalties expected to add additional cash flow growth and optionality for years to come.  The portfolio is focused mostly on gold and silver, and spans across 3 core jurisdictions - Canada, USA, and Australia.  Summit is now the fastest growing company in the precious metals royalty sector; having completed their first royalty and stream transaction in May 2025, and just went public in the 2nd half of last year.     Summit Royalties has continued to demonstrate its ability to identify and execute accretive transactions, and intends to build on that momentum with discipline, to become the next mid-tier streaming and royalty company.  Drew outlines that they are reviewing a few key term-sheets to keep making future actionable and accretive acquisitions to increase production and cash flow growth. Improved capital markets presence and trading liquidity, with supportive shareholder base. Pro forma Summit valued at a significant discount to peers on Price/NAV and Price/2027E cash flow per share (“CFPS”) basis. The Corporation currently has no debt and sufficient cash on-hand for use in future acquisitions, as well as being in dialogue with financial institutions for adding a potential revolving credit facility.     If you have any follow up questions for Drew about Summit Royalties, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Summit Royalties 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 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.

Custom Health CEO Shane Bishop joined Steve Darling from to discuss the company's technology-enabled pharmacy platform, expansion strategy, and growth opportunities following its recent listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker CHLT. Bishop explained that Custom Health has evolved from addressing medication administration challenges in long-term care into a connected healthcare platform that integrates company-owned pharmacies, in-home medication dispensing devices, remote clinicians, and physicians. The platform collects patient data up to four times a day through connected medication devices and integrates the information with electronic health records to provide clinicians with real-time treatment recommendations. One of the company's key growth areas is pain management in the United States. Bishop said the platform provides full chain-of-custody tracking for opioid medications while collecting patient-reported pain data, allowing clinicians to identify opportunities to safely reduce opioid use. As he noted, “We've actually managed to lower the amount of opioids patients take by 27%.” Bishop highlighted Custom Health's acquisition strategy, with the company targeting pharmacies in markets where reimbursement models are already established. Bishop said owning pharmacies enables the company to deploy its technology consistently while combining acquisition-driven expansion with organic patient growth. Looking ahead, Bishop expects the majority of future growth to come from the United States, where reimbursement structures are more favorable for the company's connected care services, while continuing to pursue opportunities in Canada. He added that the company's recent TSX listing provides greater access to capital markets, supporting continued investment in technology deployment, pharmacy acquisitions, and long-term expansion of its connected healthcare platform. #proactiveinvestors #customhealth #tsx #nhlt #pharma #DigitalHealth #ConnectedCare #HealthcareTechnology #Pharmacy #Telehealth #TSX #HealthTech #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation

Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF) (FSE: MX0), joins me for a big picture update on their transition to development and near-term production at it flagship Perron Gold Project, located in Quebec, Canada.  The Company will be changing its name to Amex Gold Mining Inc. in early July to reflect this transition into a developer/producer over the next 2 years; but will also be maintaining a 100,000 meter drill program, so there is still the dual-focus on exploration as well.   On June 18th, the Company announced the completion of the final tranche of the oversubscribed "best efforts" private placement for C$80Million, where Eldorado Gold maintained their 27% stake, and they have received receipt of the key permits for the upcoming bulk sampling program.  We discussed how the bulk sample will achieve multiple goals of learning about the actual grade and metal recovery reconciliation measured against the metrics outlined in the positive Feasibility Study for the 5 years of commercial Phase 1 production at the project. The bulk sample will have an initial capital outlay of around C$50Million, but after processing ~40,000 tonnes via toll-milling at a nearby plant; and producing around 23,000-28,000 ounces of gold, this will generate revenues more than double that capex.   We discussed how the market does seem to fully appreciate or value that the Company will be mining and producing metals and revenues by the end of 2027.  Additionally, Victor points out that the portal and decline/ramp development utilized in this upcoming bulk sample is the exact same plan envisioned in their economic study, and will shave all that capital, development work, and time off the front-end of Phase 1 development, providing a faster organic natural transition in Phase 1 commercial mining in 2028 simply by extending that ramp further into the mine.   We then discussed the even larger strategy where the revenues generated from the bulk sample in 2027, followed by the 4-5 years of DSO toll-mining in Phase 1, will then fund the exploration and development work that feeds into the Phase 2 studies.  Phase 2 will envision the move into a larger production scenario building a processing plant on site, from the robust revenues projected during Phase 1.   In addition to all the development slated for this year, the company is pressing forward with an aggressive 100,000 meter drill campaign, continuing to delineate and expand resources at the main Perron Project; while also beginning to explore on their expanded land package across the provincial border into Ontario.  The company has substantially increased their land holdings through a combination of staking claims and the 2 recent acquisitions of the Perron West and the Abbotsford/Hepburn properties.   Click here to follow the latest news from Amex Exploration   If you have any questions for Victor regarding Amex Exploration, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.     In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Amex Exploration at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins me for a review of Q1 operations and financials at the McCreedy West Mine located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Then we dive into an overall exploration and development update at the prior-producing Levack Mine, and a development update at Crean Hill to map out what the pathway to restarting production would entail at both mines.     We start off noting the graduation from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). The Common Shares just began trading on the TSX at market earlier this week on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, and will continue to trade under the current stock symbol, (“NICU”).  Jason highlights the extra liquidity and potential for passive fund inclusion that this will present in the fullness of time.   Q1 Operations and Financial Highlights:   Positive cash margin of $6.0 million at the McCreedy West copper-precious metals-nickel Mine. In Q1 2026, 82,296 tons of ore was processed from the 700 Footwall Copper Zone at McCreedy West at a grade of 3.38% copper equivalent (“CuEq”) based on realized metal prices in the quarter. The Company produced 4.1 million CuEq payable pounds (“lbs”) in Q1 2026. With both tonnage and grades forecast to increase from Q1, the Company continues to expect to achieve full year production guidance of 16-18 million CuEq payable lbs. Quarterly cash costs of US$3.48 per CuEq lb, and All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of US$4.21 per CuEq lb, respectively. Production costs per ton processed in Q1 2026 declined by 5.3% quarter over quarter to $214 per ton.  Ended Q1 2026 with cash and cash equivalents of $35.8 million and a working capital balance of $53.7 million. Exploration and evaluation expenses in Q1 2026 of $2.8 million, including $2.3 million at Levack Mine as focus transitioned to infrastructure readiness to support early ore sources and new underground exploration platforms to test the R2 Footwall Zone, with completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) expected in Q3. During Q1 2026, the Company announced initial Mining Reserves for the 700/PM copper-precious metals Zones at McCreedy West which demonstrate an initial three-year production profile, assuming forecasted mining rates which are in line with the current operation and 2026 guidance.   We reviewed 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.   Highlights from the new assay results include:    MLV-26-14A W2 – intercepted 9.4% Cu, 2.3% Ni, 28.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 52.9 g/t Ag (29.7% CuEq) over 3.4 metres, Including 18.7% Cu, 0.7% Ni, 60.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 103.8 g/t Ag (57.0% CuEq) over 1.5 metres, And 21.4% Cu, 0.4% Ni, 40.8 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 152.0 g/t Ag (34.0% CuEq) over 0.4 metres, MLV-26-14A W3 - intercepted 22.5% Cu, 1.4% Ni, 49.9 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 135.0 g/t Ag (43.9% CuEq) over 1.1 metres;    And  14.0% Cu, 1.9% Ni, 47.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 96.0 g/t Ag (36.2% CuEq) over 1.5 metres,   The Company is planning to release a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Levack Mine in parallel with work to re-establish ore and waste hoisting capabilities during 2026.  At present those economics will not include the high-grade drilling completed to date at the R2 Footwall Zone. Jason highlights that a development drift is being implemented to support ongoing underground exploration of this area, for the potential of future implementation into development plans.   Next we review the ongoing workstreams for Crean Hill that will be feeding into the upcoming PFS later this year.  He notes that the significantly higher precious metals today compared to back in 2022 will be a factor that plays into the updated economics, and maps out that the ramp-up into production could commence as early as H2 2027.   We wrap up discussing that the prior-producing Poldosky Mine and the development-stage Shakespeare Project are still both permitted assets of merit and will feed the development cue as mines number 4 and 5 further down the road.    Click here to follow along with the news at Magna Mining   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.      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.

Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSX.V: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), joins me for a special video presentation and visual exploration update, with mineralization expanding in the updated Resource Estimate to ~8 million ounces of gold in all categories, from the combined Wenot and Gilt Creek Projects at the Company's 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America.  We also discuss the dual path of the company now, split between exploration, and all the project derisking being factored into development and the upcoming updated economic study.   The Omai Gold Property hosts two orogenic gold deposits: the shear-hosted Wenot Deposit and the adjacent, intrusion-hosted Gilt Deposit (Figure 1), with a combined updated MRE (over the August 2025 MRE) of: 2,495,000 ounces of gold (Indicated MRE), a 17.6% increase, averaging 2.04 g/t Au in 38.1 Mt and 5,465,000 ounces of gold (Inferred MRE), a 24.7% increase, averaging 1.59 g/t Au in 106.6 Mt    That updated model will then be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), slated for Q3 of 2026; building upon the prior PEA that was released in 2024, which was only on 45% of the mineral inventory focused on the open-pit at Wenot.  That prior PEA did not yet include rest of the resources at Wenot or the expanded profile in the updated MRE, nor did it include the underground project economics from the Gilt Creek deposit.  The updated PEA slated for next quarter will be more advanced and will factor in the combined economics of the open-pit at Wenot, and the underground at Gilt Creek, representing the value proposition of the total project more accurately.     Multiple zones of gold mineralization were intersected in each of the recent assays from the ongoing 50,000-metre diamond drill program.   *Highlights from the recent drilling include:   Hole 26ODD-169 – 2.90 g/t Au over 22.9m o Including 9.13 g/t Au over 4.1m o 2.64 g/t Au over 19.2m o Including 4.90 g/t Au over 8.9m Hole 26ODD-173 – 3.49 g/t Au over 16.9m o Including 13.21 g/t Au over 1.5m o Including 46.68 g/t Au over 0.6m o 3.86 g/t Au over 23.8m o Including 66.21 g/t Au over 0.8m o Including 28.33 g/t Au over 0.9m Hole 26ODD-173W – 2.63 g/t Au over 11.5m o 3.68 g/t Au over 8.1m o 2.62 g/t Au over 13.1m o 5.79 g/t Au over 7.7m Hole 26ODD-180 – 8.54 g/t Au over 20.6m o Including 25.89 g/t Au over 2.5m o Including 13.42 g/t Au over 5.8m o 3.43 g/t Au over 12.3m o Including 5.57 g/t Au over 5.4m Hole 26ODD-183 – 2.96 g/t Au over 14.3m o 1.57 g/t Au over 22.5m o Including 3.94 g/t Au over 5.5m Hole 26ODD-185 – 7.26 g/t Au over 34.8m o Including 19.94 g/t Au over 2.5m o Including 54.05 g/t Au over 1.5m o Including 9.83 g/t Au over 3.0m o 15.89 g/t Au over 1.9m o 1.71 g/t Au over 14.0m o 2.10 g/t Au over 10.9m o 7.22 g/t Au over 2.4m o 2.28 g/t Au over 6.9m   Next we discussed the favorable results from this first phase of metallurgical testing, and that both Wenot and Gilt are orogenic gold deposits that are responsive to reliable, industrially proven processing technologies and consistent with the historical production results. High gold extraction was achieved from testwork with 93% gold (“Au”) extraction at 1.0 g/t Au to 95% Au extraction at 3.2 g/t Au, from a material grind size of 80% passing 75 microns    Wrapping up we discussed the company valuation compared to peers on a P/NAV basis and price per ounce basis, some of the recent high-profile M&A deals in the sector includingG2 Goldfields in Guyana, the ongoing permitting process work towards the EIA, and other derisking work on the Project, gathering all this data to be utilized in the upcoming PEA.     If you have any questions for Elaine regarding Omai Gold Mines, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to see the latest news from Omai Gold Mines.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Underground Alpha, joins us for our monthly longer-format discussion on assortment of messy macroeconomic factors, how he is navigating the bearish metals price trends, and portfolio management strategies in select gold, copper, lithium, rare earths, and uranium stocks.   We start off reviewing the mix of messy macroeconomic movers like: Market effects from the rising US Dollar – over 100 and climbing Rising short-term interest rates at the short-end of the yield curve due to Fed policy and Warsh's meeting and press conference last week; contrasted against flattening rates at the long-end of the curve Rising inflation readings, but wild fluctuations between monthly and quarterly trends Knock-on effects from geopolitics and continued uncertainty around the US/Iran MOU and supposed reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Fluid situation causing increased volatility and impulsive reactions in both directions Sovereign debt loads and how rising rates will pressure global governments Capex investments in AI data-center build-outs are ongoing.      The majority of the macro news has been a headwind to the commodities sector, but it is a messy situation because there are positive tailwinds present at the same time.  We discussed the pullback in oil prices, in precious metals prices, and copper prices and how Nick is navigating these markets. After touching the hot stove in a few instances, (after taking a nibble at the GDXJ only to see it fall a bit further), he is not interested in trying to pick a bottom or “catch the falling knife” in most commodities. Nick would prefer to see a sustainable real low put in for each respective commodity, like the PMs or Oil or Copper, and for a new uptrend to assert itself before deploying any more new capital. He is more than happy to have a certain portfolio weighting to cash to wait out any more near-term market corrections, and is willing to deploy more cash once the turn higher is more clear.   With regards to portfolio management, Nick is concentrating his portfolio into less positions and fortifying his highest conviction investment stories with compelling catalysts.  He is more likely to trim or sell positions that were picked up based on bullish metals price direction, or as a result of spinouts, or where he is not as confident on the assets or management teams.  He recommends investors take inventory of what they own, and the investment case for why they own it and only be in the higher conviction stories.   Nick highlighted Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSXV: GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF) for copper, and Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG) (OTCQX: RVLGF) for gold as 2 positions he has held for some time in his portfolio that he is happy to hold through any more volatility and even add to in their weighting.  He points out that both companies have solid management teams and projects, and both still have a lot of drilling on tap for this season as a catalyst. There are also gold stocks on his watchlist that are becoming more attractive during this ongoing sector correction, like Mayfair Gold Corp. (TSXV: MFG) (NYSE American: MINE), Tiernan Gold Corp. (TSXV : TNGD), or copper stocks like Amerigo Resources Ltd. (TSX: ARG) (OTCQX: ARREF) or Ero Copper Corp. (TSX: ERO, NYSE: ERO) that he is keeping a close eye on for a potential future position.   When reviewing where he is seeing the most strength in the commodities sector, Nick highlights the Critical Minerals as having been the most resilient. He points out that the Global X Lithium and Battery ETF (NYSE: LIT) and lithium developers like Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO) (OTCQB: QUEXF) and PMET Resources Inc. (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) have held up better than most other metals or resource stocks. Nick highlights the ongoing direct investment and policy initiatives into the rare earths processors, separators, recyclers, noting prior investments into USA Rare Earth, Inc. (Nasdaq: USAR), MP Materials (NYSE: MP), or the news this week where Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) was approved for a $725 million financing commitment from the Department of War, U.S. Office of Strategic Capital, to support infrastructure and capacity to process rare earth elements and other critical materials. Uranium and nuclear stocks have also been soft ever since the big move up in January, but Nick outlined the continued support from many sovereign nations to invest in both their nuclear infrastructure as well as uranium miners with projects of significance. Cameco Corporation (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) announced yesterday a conditional commitment for a loan package of up to US$17.5 billion by the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) to reenergize the large-scale nuclear reactor supply chain, drive down costs, and accelerate the deployment of AP1000 reactors in the US and globally.   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.

We also discuss the upcoming value drivers of a Preliminary Economic Assessment in a few months, as well as the spin-out of their critical minerals properties into W2 Critical Minerals Corp.   We start off with the backstory and journey of how their 21 properties were assembled under Shawn Ryan's geological prowess, searching for the source of all the placer gold in the Yukon. The company has drilled around 90,000 meters to date, delineating over 3 million ounces of gold in 4 main resource areas comprised of the Golden Saddle, Arc, Ryan's Surprise, and VG deposits.   The primary objectives of this year's drill program with will be resource growth and expansion testing areas adjacent and in close proximity to the Company's known four gold deposits, both along strike and down-dip. In addition to resource growth, a portion of the exploration program will be focused on further advancing discovery-stage targets, as well as towards evaluating high priority early-stage prospects for discovery potential. The program is fully funded and supported by their strategic partners including Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Power One.   The Company is also continuing to advance its maiden Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA),  on the White Gold Project, which is expected to be released in the next few months. Additionally, things are moving forward with the spin-out of its critical mineral properties into a dedicated standalone vehicle, We also discuss the upcoming value drivers of a Preliminary Economic Assessment in a few months, as well as the spin-out of their critical minerals properties into W2 Critical Minerals Corp., which current White Gold shareholders will get shares in.   David shares the background of a few team members and technical advisors, as well as his background as an executive with the PowerOne Group; where he developed a depth of knowledge in representing, advising, and assisting emerging companies in accessing capital, advising on mergers and acquisitions and managing their businesses.     If you have any follow up questions for David regarding White Gold, then please email those to me at  Shad@kereport.com.     Click here to follow the latest news from White Gold 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.

Interview with Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman & CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/santacruz-silver-mining-tsxvscz-undervalued-investment-series-with-arturo-prestamo-10185Recording date: 9th June 2026Santacruz Silver Mining entered 2026 with improving operations, rising financial strength, and a clearer path to growth across its Bolivian and Mexican assets. In the first quarter, the company produced about 2.3 million silver-equivalent ounces, including 1.3 million ounces of silver and roughly 21,000 tonnes of zinc, alongside smaller lead and copper output. Stronger silver prices and better operating performance helped drive a solid financial quarter, with management expecting production to rise further in the second quarter.The company's most important near-term focus is the Bolivar mine in Bolivia, where excess water in key mining zones has limited access to high-grade silver areas. Santacruz is carrying out a dewatering program to restore output from the Pomabamba and Nena veins, with a goal of returning to budgeted production levels by the fourth quarter of 2026. Management believes this recovery will not only lift silver volumes but also lower mining costs at one of its most important assets.Despite more than a month of political unrest in Bolivia tied to tensions between President Luis Arce and former President Evo Morales, Santacruz says its operations have remained on budget and uninterrupted. The company has reduced risk by storing key supplies in advance and using rail for most concentrate shipments, limiting exposure to road blockages.Santacruz is also positioning itself for the next phase of growth. It expects to move from the TSX Venture Exchange to the TSX main board within weeks, a step intended to improve liquidity and attract a broader investor base. Management also plans to launch a share buyback, signaling confidence that the market undervalues the business. Beyond Bolivar, the company is advancing Soracaya, a brownfield Bolivian asset with a strong silver profile, as its main medium-term growth project in a silver market supported by persistent supply deficits.View Santacruz Silver Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/santacruz-silver-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (TSXV: GR)Great Atlantic Resources reports geophysical results from its Mount Raymond Property in New Brunswick, where partner Slam Exploration completed a VTEM airborne survey identifying 21 electromagnetic conductors for copper-nickel-cobalt targets. These plate models range from 30 to 320 metres in depth and represent potential extensions to known mineralization zones. For investors, this survey directly generates targets for Slam Exploration's upcoming 2026 diamond drilling program on this critical metals property.New Age Metals Inc. (TSX.V: NAM) (OTCQB: NMTLF) (FSE: P7J)New Age Metals has regained 100% ownership of its Manitoba Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum Portfolio after the MinRes farm-in agreement expired on May 27, 2026. MinRes will pay NAM CAD$135,426 in exchange for a 2% revenue royalty, which NAM can repurchase 1% of for CAD$1,500,000 within four years. With full ownership restored, NAM has greater flexibility to advance drill-ready targets in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field as critical metal demand grows.Silver Acadia Exploration Inc. (CSE: SLA)Silver Acadia reported high-grade silver intercepts from its Nicholas-Denys Property in New Brunswick's Bathurst Mining Camp, highlighted by 24.8 metres at 328.9 g/t silver and 1.0 g/t gold in hole ND26-005, including 5.6 metres at 1,044.6 g/t silver equivalent. These near-surface results from the Hachey Zone confirm grade continuity along a mineralized trend exceeding 3 kilometres. With 12 additional drill holes pending assay, investors may see further high-grade intercepts that strengthen the district-scale potential of this silver-rich system.LibertyStream Infrastructure Partners Inc. (TSXV: LIB) (OTCQB: VLTLF) (FSE: I2D)LibertyStream has delivered its first tonne of lithium carbonate to a U.S. industrial customer from its DLE facility at Select Water Solutions' site in Howard County, Texas. This milestone advances the company from site deployment into active customer delivery, validating its proprietary oilfield brine extraction technology. The company is targeting annualized production capacity of 1,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate by end of 2026, a significant commercial scale-up that supports its North American lithium production thesis.Gunnison Copper Corp. (TSX: GCU) (OTCQB: GCUMF) (FSE: 3XS0)Gunnison Copper closed a C$34.5 million oversubscribed bought deal public offering at C$0.42 per share, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, led by Canaccord Genuity with Paradigm Capital, Ventum Financial, and CIBC Capital Markets. The proceeds will advance the Gunnison Copper Project in Arizona's Cochise Mining District, which controls 12 known deposits within an 8-kilometre radius. The oversubscription signals strong institutional confidence in Gunnison's copper development pipeline.Bottom Line: Today's news highlights active capital formation and exploration advancement across North America's critical minerals sector, spanning copper, lithium, and silver with near-surface high-grade results and commercial production milestones.

In this episode, we break down the latest CPP Investments annual report and why comparing CPP’s returns directly to the S&P 500 or TSX misses the mark. We discuss CPP’s 7.8% fiscal-year return, its heavy exposure to private equity, real assets and credit, and whether the high fees and complexity are justified over the long run. We also look at five Canadian stocks that could fit a “buy it, lock it away, and don’t touch it for 10 years” mindset. From railways and waste collection to royalty companies, grocers, and energy producers, we discuss which businesses may have the durability, moats, and cash flow profiles to survive and compound through different market environments.

Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSX.V: SCZ) (NASDAQ: SCZM) (FSE: 1SZ), joins me for an exclusive visual review of the Q1 2026 financial and operational results across their portfolio of 4 producing silver-zinc mines and ore feed sourcing business in Bolivia and Mexico. We also review a few of the key growth initiatives that the company has slated for 2026 across multiple projects.    Q1 2026 Highlights   Revenues of $127.5 million, an 81% increase year-over-year. Gross profit of $42.9 million, a 54% increase year-over-year. Net income of $28.5 million, a 201% increase year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA of $42.6 million, a 55% increase year-over-year. Cash and highly-liquid marketable securities of $64.9 million, a 100% increase year-over-year. Working capital of $75.9 million, a 47% increase year-over-year. Average realized price per silver ounce sold of $63.30, a 128% increase year-over-year. AISC per silver ounce sold of $31.60, a 76% increase year-over-year. Realized mining margin per silver ounce sold of $31.70, a 221% increase year-over-year. Average realized price per zinc tonne sold of $3,116, a 12% increase year-over year. AISC per zinc tonne sold of $2,729, a 32% increase year-over-year.   When discussing the financial strength of the company, Arturo also highlighted that after paying $31.5 million in taxes during this first quarter, that the company ended Q1 2026 with a healthy cash and highly liquid marketable securities position of $64.9 million, providing Santacruz with the financial flexibility to continue funding operational improvements while maintaining a strong treasury position.   At the Bolivar Mine, the recovery of the areas affected by the May 2025 localized water inflow event continues to advance; with work focused on restoring production while maintaining operating discipline. The Company continues to expect Bolivar's full recovery by Q4 2026, with the dewatering program progressing ahead of plan, and now accessing again the high-grade silver veins –  Pomabamba and Nané.   The Porco Mine remains a smaller but solid contributor, and it is strategically located in the important Potosi district.   Arturo mentions that their 1,200 tonne per day plant also assists with processing ore from the San Lucas business unit.   Next we moved over to the Caballo Blanco Group of mines, which is the lowest cost and thus highest efficiency of their operations.  Colquechaquita and Tres Amigos are the 2 producing mines, but Arturo mentioned that the Company has now brought Esperanza Mine back into production during Q1, and that it should be a profitable smaller zinc-forward mine in this Caballo Blanco complex moving forward.   Their Zimapán Mine in Mexico is their highest-volume operation and will be another area of continued growth for Santacruz Silver in 2026. The capital already invested in Zimapan into plant equipment and improving mine efficiencies will allow for more throughput, accessing higher grade areas, and improving metals recoveries.   The operations team gained access to the high-grade 960 Level of the Zimpan Mine at the end of Q4, and already demonstrated to be a more significant contributing area of production in Q1 2026 and looking forward.   San Lucas is a margin-based ore sourcing and processing business that supports plant utilization, fixed-cost absorption and operating flexibility.   San Lucas now includes ore blended from the Reserva Mine, (previously part of the Caballo Blanco complex), and may be further enhanced in the future if a dedicated processing center is acquired.   Arturo points out that since this is a “margin business” it will always be profitable, but that it will naturally see higher costs in parallel with moves higher in silver prices, and thus the higher amount needed to be paid to the small regional miners that bring in their ore to sell to San Lucas. The Company has introduced an enhanced reporting framework which provides a more complete basis for investors to assess production, costs, margins and cash generation across all business units.   The operations team is advancing their silver-dominant Soracaya mine towards development and near-term production. There is already a decline ramp into this project with initial stope access in 2 areas, and the plan once the permit is received in Q3 is to get this mine into initial ramp-up production by Q4 of 2026.    Wrapping up we discussed the potential for future accretive acquisitions in the Americas.  The board and management team are open to a currently producing mine or development-stage underground mining assets, but only if the acquisition would be accretive for shareholders and if their team can unlock value in these acquired assets.   * To view the visual presentation on YouTube click below: https://youtu.be/SCKzJarK0TQ   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.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to review the key takeaways from both the Commodities Global Expo Conferences we just attended in Washington D.C. and Fort Lauderdale. He also highlights the value proposition that has his attention from 4 of the gold and silver developers which he met with at the conferences, that have put out compelling news in the recent past and that have key growth catalysts on tap in the medium-term.   The companies we discussed in the interview are:   Rua Gold Inc. (TSX: RUA) (NZX: RGI) (OTCQX: NZAUF) - On May 5, 2026, the Company announced the results of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its 100%-owned Auld Creek Gold-Antimony Project in the Reefton Goldfield, New Zealand. The PEA — prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 disclosure standards and effective April 25, 2026 — highlights the potential for robust economics from a high-grade, shallow underground starter mine, supported by access to established Reefton infrastructure for efficient transporting to port.   Excellon Resources Inc. (TSXV: EXN) (OTC Pink: EXNRF) (FSE: E4X2) – On May 27, 2026, the Company provided a market update on operational activities at its 100%-owned Mallay silver-lead-zinc mine in central Peru. Mill ready for pre-commissioning. All critical refurbishment and wet commissioning milestones completed; bulk-sample campaign targeted for June 2026. ~15,000 tonnes stockpiled from Isguiz vein and Footwall Zone. Surface stockpile provides representative feed for the pre-commissioning bulk-sample campaign. Infill drilling informing updated restart planning. Results from the ~2,500-metre program are being integrated into the geological model; the Company expects to have an updated restart plan and schedule in early Q3/26.   Highlander Silver Corp. (TSX, NYSE American: HSLV) – On April 07, 2026, the Company provides a portfolio update following the successful completion of its acquisition and combination with Bear Creek Mining. Daniel Earle, President and CEO of Highlander Silver, commented: “Highlander Silver is well positioned to fast-track project advancement across its portfolio of high-quality silver assets. This includes a focus on high-impact exploration, project optimization, and site preparation for development of Corani, the largest fully permitted primary silver project in the world, as well as permitting at San Luis, one of the highest M&I resource grade projects in both the gold and silver sectors. As of March 31, the Company had an unaudited cash balance of approximately US$100 million and no debt. The Mercedes gold-silver mine also made a positive cash contribution in its first month of operations following restructuring under our stewardship. We provide a summary of our baseline plans below and forecast a year-end cash balance of approximately US$60 million. This reflects a disciplined approach to spending that delivers on our core objectives while preserving flexibility to scale up our exploration programs later in the year.”   Sonoro Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGO | OTCQB: SMOFF | FRA: 23SP) – On May 12, 2026, the Company announced that its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Minera Mar de Plata (“MMP”), has executed three binding Letters of Intent (the “LOIs”) with two residents of Sonora, Mexico to acquire a 100% interest in 24 mineral concessions, and up to a 51% interest in five additional mineral concessions, located adjacent to the Company's Cerro Caliche gold project in Sonora, Mexico. The Vendors are at arm's length to the Company and to its associates and affiliates. Sonoro believes the acquisition is a strategic opportunity to potentially demonstrate the Cerro Caliche project as being part of a larger gold epithermal system, with wide-scale potential to host multiple mineralized zones.    * In full disclosure, some companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   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 episode of Tank Talks: The Rundown, Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo break down a huge week across Canadian tech, quantum computing, SPACs, AI infrastructure, vertical SaaS, and the reported SpaceX IPO filing. They start with Xanadu's $300 million at-the-market equity facility and what it reveals about the funding challenge facing Canadian quantum companies that need billion-dollar scale capital to compete globally.John argues that Xanadu should use current market hype to fully fund the business now, even if short-term shareholders hate the dilution. From there, Matt and John unpack why quantum remains a long-term binary bet, why SPACs may be coming back for Canadian growth companies like UniUni, and why Clio's jump from $100 million to more than $500 million in ARR proves vertical SaaS is far from dead, especially when the product is mission-critical and deeply embedded.The episode then shifts to OpenAI, Anthropic, and the AI infrastructure boom, with John warning that massive top-line revenue can hide dangerous burn and accounting optics. Matt and John close with a deep debate on the reported SpaceX IPO, Starlink's growth, Starship risk, xAI, and Cursor being folded into the story, SPV cap table chaos, and whether trillion-dollar tech IPOs could pull capital away from the Mag Seven.Listen to this episode for a sharper read on where capital is really flowing across AI, quantum, SaaS, and space. Matt and John cut through the hype to show which tech narratives are built to last, and which ones could crack under pressure.Xanadu's $300M ATM Facility and the Quantum Funding Problem (00:49)Matt opens with Xanadu's $300 million at-the-market equity facility, explaining how the structure gives the company access to capital while raising questions about dilution, public market volatility, and the long-term cost of funding a quantum data center.John Ruffolo's Advice: Fund the Business While the Market Is Hot (02:45)John explains why Xanadu should take advantage of momentum in the public markets and raise as much primary capital as possible, even if short-term shareholders dislike the dilution.Why SPACs Are Coming Back for Canadian Growth Companies (07:17)Matt brings up UniUni's $1 billion SPAC agreement to list on the TSX, and John explains why companies struggling to raise late-stage private capital may see SPACs as their best path to primary money.Could Clio Be Canada's Next Major Tech IPO? (10:56)As Clio's valuation grows, John argues that the universe of private equity buyers gets smaller, making an IPO one of the more realistic paths for investor liquidity.The Accounting Trick John Says AI Investors Need to Watch (12:23)John criticizes the capitalization of compute, infrastructure, sales, marketing, and partnership costs, arguing that burn may be a better proxy for the real economics than adjusted profitability claims.The Reported SpaceX IPO and the $1.75 Trillion Valuation Debate (14:20)Matt introduces the reported SpaceX IPO valuation and breaks down how much of the story depends on Starlink growth, Starship launches, and the company's ability to scale space-based broadband.Why Everything Hinges on Starship (18:51)John explains that Starship is the key dependency behind the SpaceX story, because Starlink's ability to scale depends heavily on launch capacity, satellite economics, and execution.SpaceX vs. Canadian Banks: The Scale Shock (22:37)Matt points out that the reported SpaceX valuation could be roughly twice the combined market cap of Canada's big six banks, underscoring the staggering scale of the next wave of tech IPOs.The Early Investors Who May Win Big (25:26)Matt and John close by highlighting early institutional bets from Washington State University's endowment and Ontario Teachers, showing how patient capital in breakthrough companies can create generational outcomes.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

  In this Weekend Show, we dive deep into the current forces shaping the precious metals sector and the global macro economy. From the “hawkish...

Chris Temple, Editor and Publisher of the National Investor, joins us to review the macroeconomic trends moving the markets, and his outlook on US general equities, precious metals, and various segments of the critical minerals space. Chris also recaps some of the companies he just saw in person at a number of site visit tours throughout Nevada, California, and Arizona.   We start off discussing the Fed meeting earlier this week, and a brief summary of Jerome Powell's 8-year tenure as the head of the US central bank.  Next, we pivot over to the macro backdrop for incoming Fed head, Kevin Warsh; and the results that have accrued as the result of prior monetary and fiscal policy in the US and abroad.  Chris note the persistent issues of record sovereign debt loads, higher-for-longer inflation levels, greatly spurred along by excessive money printing over Jerome Powell's term, pressures from the war in the Middle East, and the potential for slowing economic growth and more meaningful pullback in the broad US equities in the medium-term.   Switching over to gold, silver, and the precious metals equities, Chris had warned subscribers earlier in the year that things had become overbought and gotten ahead of themselves and to fade that rally, anticipating a medium-term sector pullback. He pointed to the coming corrective move in the PM sector, that was then exasperated by the war in Iran, when many felt that would be a bullish driver for gold and silver. Central banks and generalist momentum investors had come into the precious metals over the last couple years, but then some of these same groups had shifted over to selling PMs over the last couple months, putting further pressure on the sector. Generalist investors are still very much fully deployed into US equity markets and in particular the tech stocks and AI trade, and have pushed those valuations to record levels. As a result they are less inclined to be following the future potential of the commodities stocks. Chris is prepared for a future corrective move in US stock markets, that would initially drag everything else down with it, including most commodity and resource stocks. However, he pointed to the 2009 period coming out of the Great Financial Crisis, where gold and silver rebounded quicker and went up more on a performance basis than the broad markets. He expects to see a similar trend after a market liquidity event, where the PMs rebound first and to a greater degree, and the rest of the metals complex will follow.   Next we shifted over to trends within the broad basket of Critical Minerals, where Chris makes the point that one can't paint them all with a broad brush, as some have unique fundamental or macro drivers and have popped up periodically like a game of “whack-a-mole.”   He pointed out that critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel had popped and then dropped over the last few years, but that he was more animated by uranium, fertilizers, magnesium, tungsten, titanium, copper, and zinc at present.   Wrapping up, Chris highlighted the companies he just met with on his multi-state site visit tour through Nevada, California, and Arizona including:   Gunnison Copper Corp. (TSX: GCU) (OTCQB: GCUMF), Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF), Integra Resources Corp. (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG), North Peak Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NPR) (OTCQB: NPRLF), Borealis Mining Company Limited (TSXV: BOGO) (OTCQB: BORMF), Apollo Silver Corp. (TSX.V: APGO) (OTCQB: APGOF), and Arizona Gold & Silver Inc.  (TSXV: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF).    Click here to follow along with Chris at the National Investor 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 episode, we chat with Michael Hudson, CEO of Southern Cross Gold, a TSX and ASX listed mining company is exploring for epizonal gold in the Victorian goldfields. Their flagship Sunday Creek project has made big strides, going from a relatively small-cap explorer to a multi-billion-dollar story in just a few years, driven by extraordinary drill results, growing institutional backing, and increasing geopolitical interest in critical minerals like antimony. But behind the headlines, there's a bigger story here, about what actually makes a discovery real, how companies transition from exploration success to something more durable, and what the mining industry gets right and wrong about building the next generation of projects. In this conversation, we're going to unpack not just the Sunday Creek story, but the mindset behind repeated discovery success, the realities of raising capital at scale, and the challenges of developing projects in jurisdictions that aren't always eager to say yes.

You can sign up here: https://thegoldadvisor.com/?refpartner=109 KEY TAKEAWAYS Michael Hudson emphasises the importance of transitioning from an exploration-focused R&D mindset to a rigorous, engineering-driven development phase to ensure project durability. The success of the Sunday Creek project is underpinned by a renewed geological understanding and strong political support for mining within Victoria. Establishing a "Social License" is mission-critical; success depends on transparent communication and the vast majority of local stakeholders being genuinely supportive. For junior miners, the secret to longevity is attracting institutional investors who understand long-term gating hurdles rather than seeking quick, high-cost capital. BEST MOMENTS "Stick to the major commodities if you want an easier life; go into the specialty metals if you want a complicated life." "Investors really want honesty and competency; they want you to be smart, but not the smartest person in the room—just frank about your errors." "If you think you're going to become a great geologist by looking at a computer, that is not going to happen; you need to see the rocks."

[Recorded April 21st, 2026]  Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Underground Alpha, joins us for our monthly longer-format discussion on different macroeconomic factors and market reactions to the war in the Middle East, his key takeaways from the 13th annual Scottsdale Capital Event, and investing strategies in select gold, copper, lithium, uranium and critical minerals stocks in tantalum, antimony, and rare earths.   Nick discussed how after big runs over the last year in gold and gold equities that he had elected to apply a pruning and planting strategy, in cutting back position sizing from being overweight in GDXJ, Royal Gold, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD), Versamet Royalties Corporation (TSX: VMET), and some other precious metals stocks to raise cash that can be deployed on either pullbacks or into other sectors.   Shifting over to the energy side of critical mineral stocks, Nick highlighted some of the copper, lithium, and uranium names that have had his attention lately.   With the copper stocks, Nick highlighted the steep March corrections and then the recent bounces higher in many copper producers, like Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) (OTCQX: IVPAF). He highlighted the acquisition of Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) by Hudbay Minerals Inc (TSX, NYSE: HBM) and how that may be used as a good case study and lens for consideration of other advanced assets and what kind of projects and jurisdictions interest the senior producers. Nick pointed out that 2 of the copper developers with good investor engagement, solid pounds in the ground resources, and good fundamentals that were attending the recent Scottsdale conference were Gunnison Copper Corp. (TSX: GCU) (OTCQB: GCUMF) and Aldebaran Resources Inc.  (TSX-V: ALDE) (OTCQX: ADBRF).     Nick pointed out that lithium prices have been on the move higher and flagged the recent high-grade Li resource estimate released this week by Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO) (OTCQB: QUEXF).   Last month he was adding more to his position in North Shore Uranium Ltd. (TSX-V:NSU), and he reiterated the constructive macro drivers behind more growth and adoption of nuclear power and the need for new uranium discoveries.   We then pivoted from the “energy metals” over to growing investor interest in the “defense metals” like tungsten, tantalum, antimony, and rare earths.   Nick also flagged PMET Resources Inc. (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) as a company that not only has a world-class lithium project, but also compelling cesium and tantalum resources for a suite of critical minerals.   He mentioned Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) as a company has accumulated on pullbacks, for their exposure to domestic production and processing of both uranium and rare earths.   Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA) (TSX: PPTA), is a company he's supported for over a decade for the interest in both their gold and antimony resources, and he pointed out that it has been the antimony kicker that has gained the project more traction with investors, and expedited the permit approval process last year.    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.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins me for an overall exploration and development update at the prior-producing Levack Mine, to map out what the pathway to restarting production would entail.   We also touch upon the coming TSX uplisting process, operations at McCreedy West, and how rising nickel prices factor into initiatives at their Projects located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.    We reviewed 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.     Levack R2 Zone new assay results include:   -- MLV-26-14A W1 – returned 23.2% Cu, 5.6% Ni, 21.4 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 225.0 g/t Ag over 2.4 metres, from 975.9 metres down hole,  And 10.7% Cu, 1.5% Ni, 14.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 67.1 g/t Ag over 2.1 metres, from 1026.9 metres down hole Including, 29.6% Cu, 4.0% Ni, 32.4 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 181.0 g/t Ag over 0.7 metres, from 1028.3 metres down hole                       -- FNX6083-W5 – returned 5.7% Cu, 13.7% Ni, 11.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 28.0 g/t Ag over 0.4 metres, from 1117.7 metres down hole   The Company is planning to release a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Levack Mine in parallel with work to re-establish ore and waste hoisting capabilities during 2026.  At present those economics will not include the high-grade drilling completed to date at the R2 Footwall Zone. Jason highlights that a development drift is going to be implemented to support ongoing underground exploration of this area, for the potential of future implementation into development plans.   Next we discuss what the higher nickel prices seen recently could mean for the profitability of certain zones at both Levack and McCreedy West, if they persist.  This opens up a broader review of the mineralized variability seen in different areas of each underground mine and in the defined deposits.   Wrapping up we talk about the importance and value of their human capital, beyond just the mineralized inventory.   The company has staffed from around 28 employees to around 250 employees in just the last 2 years, and is excited about all the growth still on tap for expanding McCreedy West, developing Levack and Crean Hill, and even some regional exploration on projects like Kirkwood.     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.

Interview with Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman & CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/santacruz-silver-tsxvscz-2026-set-for-more-gains-as-large-treasury-builds-9260Recording date: 15th April 2026Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV:SCZ) is a multi-asset, multi-metal producer operating across Mexico and Bolivia, with silver as its primary revenue metal. Having closed 2025 with revenues of $326 million and EBITDA of $104 million, the company's strongest financial results in recent years, the company is now entering what management believes will be a year of accelerating operational recovery and earnings growth.The most significant near-term catalyst is the recovery of the Bolivar mine in Bolivia which suffered flooding of two key veins and resulting in a cumulative loss of approximately 600,000–660,000 silver equivalent ounces over the affected period. The dewatering programme is progressing on schedule, with Q4 2025 silver production at Bolivar already up 34% quarter-on-quarter. Full capacity restoration representing a quarterly run rate of 1.0–1.2 million silver equivalent ounces from Bolivar mine is targeted for Q4 2026. This recovery alone represents a material production and cash flow uplift for the group, requiring no new capital expenditure or exploration success.Beyond Bolivar, management has guided for approximately 10% group production growth in 2026, supported by throughput and recovery improvements at Zimapan in Mexico, incremental output from the newly opened Esperanza area at Caballo Blanco, and the initial production contribution from Soracaya in Bolivia, which is expected to begin at approximately 200–250 tonnes per day in Q4 2026 ahead of a full ramp-up in 2027.On the financial side, Santacruz ended 2025 with approximately $70 million in cash achieved after paying down $40 million in Glencore debt and settling $27 million in deferred taxes during the year. The balance sheet is clean, working capital has improved materially, and the company is generating cash at a growing rate. Management's approach to capital deployment is conservative, prioritising treasury strength while exploring accretive M&A opportunities across the Americas.Two near-term transparency improvements are worth noting. First, the company is restructuring its AISC reporting to separate San Lucas from consolidated mine-level cost figures, which will give investors a significantly cleaner view of operating economics. Second, Santacruz is pursuing a graduation from the TSXV to the TSX main board, which management has identified as the trigger for launching a formal share buyback programme. Management has been explicit that it views the current share price as undervalued relative to fundamentals.The silver macro backdrop adds further support with silver demand structurally expanding due to its role in solar photovoltaics, electric vehicles, and grid-scale storage, while supply growth remains constrained by long project development timelines and the predominantly by-product nature of silver mining. Santacruz, as a primary silver producer operating exclusively in the Americas, is well-positioned to benefit from both the commodity trend and the growing Western preference for supply chain diversification.For investors, the combination of a defined operational recovery timeline, guided production growth, a strengthening balance sheet, and multiple identifiable re-rating catalysts makes Santacruz Silver a company worth following closely as 2026 progresses.View Santacruz Silver's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/santacruz-silver-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of Tank Talks, Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo unpack a major week across Canadian venture capital, deep tech liquidity, sovereign investment strategy, and the rapidly shifting AI software stack. The conversation opens with Ontario's newly announced $4 billion Protect Ontario Account investment fund, designed to back artificial intelligence, defence, manufacturing, and growth-stage businesses while shielding jobs from trade disruption. John breaks down the real strategic question beneath the headline: whether Ontario should centralize capital with one fund manager or use a multi-manager, co-investment model that mirrors the Canada Growth Fund and Quebec's long-standing institutional playbook.The episode then shifts into a stacked run of liquidity events reshaping tech markets. Xanadu's public debut becomes a lens into Canada's capital formation challenges, while the looming SpaceX IPO raises bigger questions about how billions in founder and employee liquidity could flood back into deep tech, defence, and space infrastructure. The discussion sharpens further with CoolIT Systems' $4.75B acquisition by Ecolab, a staggering private equity outcome fueled by AI data center demand, before closing on a real-time operating lesson from inside the Tank Talks fund: why Claude has overtaken OpenAI for enterprise workflows, coding agents, and operational leverage. From sovereign capital to AI agents, the throughline is clear: infrastructure, liquidity, and execution are redefining where value compounds.Ontario's $4B Protect Ontario Fund & the Single-Manager Debate (00:44)Ontario unveils a $4 billion investment vehicle targeting AI, defence, manufacturing, and job protection. Matt and John unpack whether concentrating capital under one GP creates governance risk or strategic efficiency.Why Ontario Is Finally Playing Offense in Capital Formation (02:06)John explains why Ontario's vulnerability to trade shocks and weak co-investment capacity made this move overdue, especially compared to Quebec's institutional investing model.Xanadu Goes Public: A Canadian Deep Tech Financing Milestone (05:33)Xanadu begins trading on both TSX and Nasdaq, giving Canadian deep tech founders a new case study in alternative financing structures through SPACs.SpaceX's IPO Could Trigger a Deep Tech Liquidity Supercycle (09:12)SpaceX's rumored IPO filing and potential $1.75T valuation spark a discussion about how recycled liquidity may turbocharge space, defence, and physical AI startups.CoolIT's $4.75B Exit & the AI Infrastructure Gold Rush (12:14)CoolIT Systems' sale to Ecolab highlights how AI data center infrastructure is driving some of the fastest PE returns in Canadian tech history.The 15x Private Equity Return Nobody Saw Coming (13:17)KKR's three-year hold turns into a stunning 15x equity return, proving that “feature businesses” can become platform-scale winners when AI demand rewrites infrastructure economics.Why Claude Is Beating OpenAI in Enterprise Workflows (15:32)Matt breaks down how Claude-powered agents now run finance audits, subscription cleanup, workflow automation, and internal ops, saving real dollars and flipping AI usage across the portfolio.Consumer AI vs Enterprise AI: The Real Claude vs OpenAI Story (18:20)The closing thesis: OpenAI may dominate consumer mindshare, but Claude is winning where workflows, coding, and high-value enterprise execution matter most.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.
