CEO Claudia Tornquist and Chair Chris Taylor join me once again to talk recent news from their company Kodiak Copper. Kodiak continues to eat their elephant one bite at a time as they progress their massive MPD porphyry project in southern BC. We discuss 2023 results and the impact of VRIFY's powerful new tool to be used in 2024, wherein Kodiak will use AI to help collect, collate, and analyzing their above and below ground explor...
Sendero Resources (SEND.V) released 3 more holes from its La Ollita target today. The results were not barn burners, but were still successful, particularly as part of a first drill campaign, as they delineated hundreds of meters of economic (at scale) mineralisation. Nevertheless, the market was unimpressed and SEND.V is now off its recent highs considerably. MD Michael Wood joins me again to discuss these results, SEND's future ...
Thesis Gold (TAU.V) CEO Ewan Webster returns to discuss the final results from their 18,000 meter 2023 drill campaign at their 100% owned Ranch project in the Toodoggone region of BC. There was a lot of success to be found this year - areas of long intercepts of high grade gold buried within even longer intercepts of disseminated mineralization. With a new, universal, MRE just a few weeks away, and a PEA due in Q3, Thesis looks lik...
Sendero Resources (SEND.V) released the first batch of results from its Peñas Negras project today (April 3, 2024). The headline is the discovery they are currently working to uncover at their La Ollita target, that came up with Au+Cu+Mo to the tune of 0.53 gpt AuEq over 256 meters starting from 83 meters down. While the grade isn't going to turn any heads, for a first hole into a target, this seems like a strong start to explorati...
Invictus - despite objective success in unlocking its Cabora Bassa basin - wallows near 52 week lows. MD Scott Macmillan joins me once again to try to reconcile what Invictus has accomplished with its current market valuations. Updates on financings (past, present, and future), the PPSA, flow testing and 2024 exploration all made it into this long, 2 hour chat. Scott's conviction remains firm that good things are coming soon for In...

Managing Director of iTech Michael Schwarz joins me today to provide an update on iTech's Lacroma Project. The project hit a rough spot a few months back with some questionable drill results as graphite sentiment bottomed out. However, as Mike demonstrates, iTech has found success enough to overcome those weaker results, and that their initial plans and goals remain on tar...

I sat down with base metals analyst Connor Mackay of Pi Financial to discuss @fireweedmetals. Connor covers Fireweed and I took this opportunity to pick his brain and have him show his work a little bit on the process and logic behind his work. Fireweed is a best-in-class asset that, because of this status, makes it a bit of a trick to properly place a dollar value on as it is without a true peer. However, its inherent an...

Recent drill results out of Founders Upper Antino project have served to redefine the potential of it. Strong drill results have become the norm for Founders, and these last few batches of results are no different. But it is not so much what has been found, but where, that is so critical to how this story is (positively) unfolding recently. Wh...
Chris Taylor (Chairman Kodiak Copper, former CEO of Great Bear Resources) recently joined me to discuss BC's newly-released critical mineral strategy in a long-form interview meant to help investors themselves make sense of these incoming changes. Ever articulate and unafraid to express his opinions, Chris makes for a great interview and has ideas worth listening to. Chris discusses in detail his hopes and concerns with the announc...
Founders Metals (FDR.V) is already a heck of a story and is just going to keep getting bigger. Honestly, that’s it in a single sentence. Of course, CEO Colin Padget and I talked about a lot more than that in our longform intro interview - historical mining, modern exploration success, permitting, mining tailings, future plans, and much more - but all roads lead back to Rome here. Which is to say that my discussions with Colin (and ...

CEO Greg Beischer of AEMC.V sat down with me again to discuss some of the headlines his company has produced since we last spoke, including impressive drill results and initial MRE, an interesting BoD appointment, and the activity of their neighbours. We close into a bit of a deep dive into their side project the Canwell prospects which - if the cu...
My first sit down with CEO Martin Turenne of FPX was a busy one. The morning of our interview, news came out that FPX had acquired another strategic partner, bringing on Japanese company Sumitomo in another major derisking event for the company. Designed with the idea in mind that FPX is already well known, topics were more involved than your typical introductory company interview. The wide-ranging interview centers on a discussion...
Fathom Nickel is just 2 weeks out from spudding its hotly-anticipated 2024 winter exploration campaign at its Albert Lake property in northern Saskatchewan. For the first time, they will be drilling out their primary target (permitting issues - simple and solved - had prevented it previously). The size of this first target is truly massive and would transform the company as we know it if successful. CEO Ian Fraser joins me to discu...

Sometimes it is just obvious that a project will eventually become a mine. Abra Silver's Diablillos project is one of these. High grade, shallow, ongoing expansion, and new discoveries still lurking - it has all the trademark characteristics of a successfully exploited deposit. Even from such a strong fo...

CEO Ian Fraser sat down with me again to discuss the results from Fathom's 2023 drill campaign on its Gochager Lake project. The market responded with disappointment as it was expecting ultra high-grade (and this market is swift to punish these days), but I believe there remains a lot of positives to be found in this campaign. Most importantly, it doesn't shut the door on Gochager's potential, but rath...
