Hemlo Mining’s flagship is the Hemlo gold mine near Marathon, northwestern Ontario, bought from Barrick last year. In this interview with CEO Jason Kosec, I asked about the mine’s history under Barrick, the current operational turnaround, the resource and mine plan rebuild, the Franco-Nevada and Wheaton encumbrances, the contingent payment owed back to Barrick, exploration on the wider land package, and the balance sheet.
Mercado Minerals’ flagship is Copalito, an optioned low sulphidation epithermal vein system roughly 120 km northeast of Culiacán and about 35 km from McEwen’s El Gallo complex, with a second 100 percent owned project called Zamora about 110 km north of Mazatlán and signed LOIs over San Rafael and La California in the San Dimas district of Durango. In this interview, we went through the usual smell test on incentives and ownership, then spent most of the time on the just-completed maiden drill program, what Phase II looks like, treasury, and the Sinaloa security question.
SAGA Metals’ flagship is the Radar titanium-vanadium-iron project about 10 km south of Cartwright in southeastern Labrador, covering the Dykes River intrusive complex, a layered mafic intrusion hosting vanadiferous titanomagnetite and ilmenite. The second asset is Wolverine, a rare earth project roughly 50 km west of Hopedale and 12 km inland from the coast. In this interview, I asked about the resource drilling just completed at Radar, the metallurgical work with Temas Resources, treasury and spending, insider ownership and royalties, and permitting and port access.
Omega Pacific Resources’s flagship Williams property is located in British Columbia’s Toodoggone District, roughly 330 km north of Smithers. The target is gold at West GIC, which they now interpret as an orogenic system, plus an adjacent copper-gold porphyry target called ROI. In this interview, I asked about the delayed 2026 drill program, why nothing happened in 2025, the buyout of the remaining project interest from CopAur Minerals, and how they intend to pay for 2027.
Kirkland Lake Discoveries’ flagship is the Mirado Gold Project at KL South, a past-producing, structurally controlled gold system about 20 km southeast of Kirkland Lake, with KL West, KL East and Goodfish now sitting behind it. In this interview, I asked the CEO about the summer drilling, how big the system might be, the upcoming financing, permitting, and what it would take to get to a resource estimate.
