I was asked to host a so-called VIP event at PDAC earlier this month. Although, to be fair, they asked me, so that already raises questions about how VIP this thing really was?!
This was Robin E. Goad of Fortune Minerals talking about the NICO cobalt-gold-bismuth-copper project in the Northwest Territories, with the downstream processing piece planned in Alberta. The discussion was about the updated feasibility and FEED work, permitting, financing, and what still has to happen before a real construction decision can be made.
Storm Exploration is an exploration company focused on Ontario. Gold Standard is the near-term project and the one Bruce spoke about most, with a road-accessible copper-zinc target that management thinks may fit a VMS model, plus older gold showings on the broader property. Keezhik and Attwood are earlier-stage projects in northwestern Ontario with gold focus and some base-metal upside. The interview was about the Miminiska sale, the balance-sheet reset, planned 2026 fieldwork, and what still has to go right from here.
Salazar Resources is an Ecuador-focused explorer with a 25% carried interest in the El Domo copper-gold project at Curipamba, plus exploration ground including Santiago, Pijilí, Tarqui-Quimi, and Macara. The interview was about what El Domo is worth to Salazar, whether they hold or sell that 25% later, how they plan to restart exploration, how they intend to fund that work, and how they see permitting, social license, and politics in Ecuador.
Sasquatch Resources is a small Vancouver Island-based company with a handful of legacy copper-gold-silver-zinc projects in British Columbia, the most advanced of which is the Mount Sicker waste pile complex near Duncan, BC. The interview covered the company’s unconventional strategy of attempting to process old mine waste piles rather than building a new mine, the state of its permitting application with the BC government, its financial position, and the shape of its project pipeline.
In this Core Shack episode, I walked the conference floor and got up close with the drill core from some of the junior mining companies I’ve been following over the last couple of months. Some rocks, a lot of geologists, some CEOs, and some questions that probably made a few of them nervous.
