Ellis Martin had the pleasure of visiting with the Honorable Ranj Pillai, Minister of Economic Development for the Yukon Territory while they both were attending the Precious Metals Summit at Beaver Creek, Colorado. The Yukon Government along with the Yukon Mining Alliance under the direction of Minister Pillai has been very proactive with regard to reaching out beyond the borders of the territory and Canada in illustrating opportunities in mining in the jurisdiction, more so in the editor's opinion than any other Canadian province or territory. Several producing mines have gone into production during the last few years alone, with many of the majors looking into further acquisitions there. In this special segment of The Ellis Martin Report, we learn the motivation and the methodology behind the Minister's success in collectively fortifying a positive business environment for the Yukon before, during and beyond the pandemic, with a clear path forward. Listen to this rare interview. Ellis also speaks with Claudia Tornquist, the CEO Kodiak Copper Corp (TSX-V:KDK)(OCT:KDKCF) as the company reports 1.03% CuEq Over 117 m, within 0.34% CuEq Over 735.4 m at Gate Zone, and Discovers New Trend at Prime Zone. We also chat with Jordan Trimble, CEO of Skyharbour Resources (TSX-V:SYH/OTC:SYHBF). Mr. Trimble reviews the macro outlook for the uranium sector as well as partner projects in the company's massive land holdings in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. http://www.skyharbourltd.com http://www.kodiakcoppercorp.com http://www.ellismartinreport.com

This mini-podcast features a clash of visions between Franco-Nevada chairman Pierre Lassonde and new Barrick Gold president and CEO Mark Bristow on the value of keeping Barrick's Canadian identity and robust head office presence in Toronto. With Bristow becoming Barrick's operating head on Jan. 1 with the finalization of the merger between Barrick and Bristow's Randgold Resources, Lassonde had a few choice words to say about the matter in the media and at the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame induction ceremony in January. During Bristow's first conference call with Barrick shareholders on Feb. 13, he gave a fuller explanation of the company's corporate restructuring, and rebutted what he called "those short little hysterical cries about us closing down stuff." Mark Bristow will be one of five keynote speakers at The Northern Miner's third annual Canadian Mining Symposium at Canada House in London on May 22.

Part 3: Some people love me and some people hate me. "I'd been burned. You wake up and you don't have a friend in the world. You don't have anyone who will come in and save you." Margaret Kent We conclude our exclusive, in-depth interview with Stratabound Minerals chairman Margaret "Peggy" Kent, carried out by Northern Miner senior staff writer Trish Saywell on the sidelines of the PDAC convention in Toronto earlier this year. Peggy deals head on with questions about the most contentious episode of her career: her and her management's handling in the 1990s of Royal Oak Mines' problematic Giant gold mine in Yellowknife, N.W.T., which was plagued with labour, financial and environmental difficulties -- culminating in 1992 in the shocking murder by a striking miner of nine replacement workers and union members who had crossed the picket line to return to work. On a lighter note, Trish unearths some personal details about Peggy's family and exercise regimen, and the interview wraps up with discussion of Peggy's experiences as a female executive in a male-dominated industry.

Margaret Kent We continue with Part 2 of our exclusive, in-depth interview with Stratabound Minerals chairman Margaret "Peggy" Kent, carried out by Northern Miner senior staff writer Trish Saywell on the sidelines of the PDAC convention in Toronto earlier this year. Peggy goes into detail on various aspects of the Royal Oak Mines gold mining empire at its peak in the early 1990s when she was CEO, including the controversial expropriation of the Windy Craggy copper deposit by the B.C. government to make a park, and the perils of a miner taking on too much debt. She also shares some fond remembrances of her lifelong business partner Ross Burns, who passed away two years ago, including their weird "opportunity" to invest in Bre-X Minerals before it was proved to be a fraud.

So begins this exclusive, in-depth interview with Stratabound Minerals chairman Margaret "Peggy" Kent, carried out by Northern Miner senior staff writer Trish Saywell on the sidelines of the PDAC convention in Toronto earlier this year. In Part 1 of the interview, Peggy reflects on some of the wisdom she's gained from her long and controversial run as a mining executive, including as CEO of Royal Oak Mines (when she was named Peggy Witte) including major problems at the Giant mine in Yellowknife, N.W.T., and the gold major's devastating bankruptcy in the mid-1990s. She also talks about the Yukon and her latest venture Stratabound Minerals, with its grassroots gold property in the territory.

Are Canada's Northwest Territories a prime destination for the world's mineral explorers and developers? While the NWT may have gained a reputation a decade ago as having become too bureaucratic for miners, the territorial government has in recent years emerged with stronger regulatory powers taken on from the federal government and a new drive to make the jurisdiction attractive for mineral investment. Featured is a NWT panel session held at the Canadian Mining Symposium in London in April 2018 with: Wally Schumann, Northwest Territories Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment and Minister of Infrastructure (introductory remarks); Tom Jensen, Northwest Territories Deputy Minister, Tourism and Investment; Michael J. Byron, president and CEO, Nighthawk Gold; Joseph Campbell, CEO, TerraX Minerals; Ken Armstrong, president and CEO, North Arrow Minerals; and Robin Goad, president and CEO, Fortune Minerals. Northern Miner editor-in-chief John Cumming served as moderator. We also have a new Ric's Picks segment with Northern Miner staff writer Richard Quarisa.

This week we're talking infrastructure! The show will specifically focus on the Sept. 2 announcement of the $360-million Yukon Resource Gateway Project. The joint federal and territorial initiative is designed to "improve road access in two mineral-rich areas: the Dawson Range in central Yukon and the Nahanni Range Road in southeastern Yukon." The project will reportedly upgrade "over 650 km" of road and build or replace numerous bridges, culverts, and stream crossings. We're joined by Yukon Mining Alliance chair, and president and CEO of Western Copper and Gold (TSX: WRN; NYSE-MKT: WRN), Paul West-Sells to discuss the funding process and what the project could mean for mineral exploration and development in the territory. We talk Goldcorp's (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) Coffee project and the impact of major mining investment. Meanwhile, Matt digs into a few eye-catching headlines that came across the newswire recently, including new drill intercepts from GT Gold's (TSXV: GTT; US-OTC: GTGDF) emerging Saddle South discovery in B.C. and Kirkland Lake Gold's (TSX: KL; NYSE: KL) strategic investment in Australia-focused explorer Novo Resources (TSXV: NVO; USOTC: NSRPF). 5:05 Base metal update (zinc, nickel, copper) 5:45 Gold and USD update 6:46 Headlines around the mining world ft.
