1.71M oz of Gold in Côte d’Ivoire, But Is the Grade Actually Mineable?

May 25, 2026

Awalé Resources operates in northern Côte d’Ivoire. They recently published their initial MRE on a part of the project which is under a joint venture with Newmont (Newmont currently at 61%). This MRE consists of three deposits. BBM is the bulk of the resource, Charger is the high-grade quartz breccia, and Empire is seen as a small high-grade potential starter pit. The conversation centred on the just-released maiden mineral resource estimate showing 1.7 million ounces gold equivalent at roughly 1.7 g/t, the Newmont JV mechanics following that result, the upcoming PEA, and the path to a mining license application by mid-2027.

High-Grade Gold Hits, But Is the Continuity Really There?

May 25, 2026

Kirkland Lake Discoveries is run by CEO Stefan Sklepowicz. The flagship is the past-producing Mirado gold mine in the KL South project, about 20 km southeast of the town of Kirkland Lake in the Abitibi greenstone belt of Ontario. The deposit is a hybrid system combining an orogenic overprint on what appears to be an underlying VMS-style host, with broad disseminated sulphides plus high-grade quartz carbonate veins. The company holds about 400 square kilometres across KL South, KL West, and KL East. The conversation focused on early drill results from a 25,000 metre program at Mirado, including a high-grade hit of roughly 39 g/t over 16.4 metres, the timing toward an updated resource, and the path to a potential exit involving Agnico Eagle or other neighbours.

2026 Gold Production in Mali, But Is the Jurisdiction Risk Manageable?

May 21, 2026

Desert Gold’s flagship is the SMSZ project (Senegal-Mali Shear Zone) in western Mali, a 440 square kilometre land package about 120 km southwest of Kayes, sitting between Allied Gold’s Sadiola mine to the north and Barrick’s Loulo-Gounkoto complex to the south. The company also holds an option on the early-stage Tiegba gold project in Côte d’Ivoire, currently awaiting presidential decree on the mining license. The conversation covered the planned commissioning of a 240 TPD modular gravity plant at Barani East in July 2026, the political and logistical situation in Mali, the current RC drill program, and the path from a small starter operation to potential CIL expansion.

May 20, 2026

Mogotes’ flagship is the Filo Sur project on the Chile-Argentina border in the Vicuña district, immediately south of BHP and Lundin Mining’s Filo del Sol deposit. Since our last conversation, the company has added two more projects: Beskauga in Kazakhstan and Copper Cliffs in Montana (the latter an option agreement with Rio Tinto). This conversation focused on the partial assays from discovery hole 16 at the Aurora zone, the rationale for adding two projects mid-season, the cash position, and what the rest of the drill program might reveal.

1.1M Ready-to-Mine Ounces, But is 3.6 g/t Really Economical Underground?

May 19, 2026

1911 Gold’s flagship is the True North project near Bissett, Manitoba, about 160 km northeast of Winnipeg in the Rice Lake greenstone belt. It is a past-producing narrow vein orogenic gold system that has produced over 2 million ounces historically through five different operators. The asset comes with a fully built and permitted 1,300 TPD mill, shafts, and tailings facility sitting on top of the existing resource. The company also holds the Apex project in Snow Lake and the Denton-Keefer project in Timmins, both non-core. The conversation focused on the path to restarting True North in H1 2027, the 50,000 metre drill program, mining method and dilution control, and the funding gap to production.

May 18, 2026

The conversation covered the La Guitarra ramp-up, the planned mill expansion, the Del Toro transaction and restart plan, exploration programs at both assets, and the company’s longer-term mid-tier strategy.
