New Copper Discovery, But Is the Grade There?

Storm Exploration’s focus right now is its 100% owned Gold Standard project, about 60 km north of Fort Frances in northwestern Ontario. Storm is targeting a copper and zinc VMS system there, defined by a conductor that it now interprets as running about 7 km. It also has two other projects in the portfolio, Keezhik and Attwood. In this interview, I asked for an update on the drilling, as well as about the first drill program at Gold Standard, Eric Sprott’s investment, and the plan for 2027.

Gold Project Next to AngloGold in Nevada, But Is There a Real System?

Bullfrog Gold is exploring the South Bullfrog gold-silver project near Beatty, Nevada, in the Walker Lane, about 5 km south of AngloGold Ashanti’s North Bullfrog project. The land package is 488 unpatented BLM claims covering about 10,000 acres. They are looking for low-sulphidation epithermal gold and silver. In this conversation, I asked the upcoming first drill program, the financing that just closed, insider alignment, and why the ground was never drilled before.

Gold-Silver Resource in Argentina, But Can the Grade Hold? 

Fredonia Mining’s flagship project is the El Dorado Monserrat (EDM), a 100%-owned gold-silver project in the Deseado Massif of Santa Cruz, Argentina, about 17 km west of AngloGold Ashanti’s Cerro Vanguardia mine. EDM is a low-sulphidation epithermal system they want to develop as a bulk tonnage open pit heap leach operation. In this conversation, I asked about the August PEA, the resource model, metallurgy, financing, permitting, the RIGI regime and the road to a PFS.

Gold Developer Plans Q4 Production in Mali, But Will There be Delays?

Desert Gold is currently building a small 200 tpd gravity operation at its Barani East deposit in Mali, with first production now targeted for Q4 2026 even though the original commissioning schedule slipped. In this interview, I asked the CEO Jared Scharf about what has actually been built, what still needs to happen before first gold, how much this is all going to cost, and what could still go wrong.

Niobium, Scandium and Rare Earths in the US, But Can They Fund The Capex?

NioCorp Developments is developing the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project in southeast Nebraska. It’s a buried carbonatite deposit about 5 km west of the village of Elk Creek, and the plan is an underground mine feeding an on-site processing plant. The main products would be niobium, scandium, titanium, and the magnet rare earths NdPr, dysprosium and terbium. In this interview, I asked about about the EXIM debt process, the August 2026 feasibility study, offtake, metallurgy, and management alignment.

Gold, Antimony, Tungsten in Idaho, But Can They Really Mine It?

Resolution Minerals’ focus is the 100%-owned Horse Heaven gold, tungsten and antimony project in Valley County, central Idaho, right next to Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite Gold Project. Its two main targets are Golden Gate (gold and tungsten, split into North and South) and Antimony Ridge. In this interview, I asked about the 2026 drill program and pending assays, the maiden resource timeline, the historic tungsten stockpiles, an antimony pilot plant, Fast-41 permitting, the NASDAQ listing and the treasury. The Australian ground is being held with no spending, and an Alaska project was recently sold.

New Gold Discovery in Suriname, But Will the System Hold Together?

Miata Metals is exploring for orogenic gold at its 215 km² Sela Creek project, about 235 km south of Paramaribo, Suriname. In this interview, I asked about the latest Jons Trend drill results, the first scout holes at the new Howler target, metallurgy, cash, and how the rest of the target pipeline is ranked.

High-Grade Tungsten in Canada, But Is There Enough of it for a Mine?

Fox Tungsten is focusing its 100%-owned Fox Tungsten project, about 70 km northeast of 100 Mile House in BC’s South Cariboo region. It’s a high-grade scheelite skarn deposit hosted in stacked, flat-lying calc-silicate horizons. The 2018 resource is 582,400 t at 0.83% WO3 Indicated plus 565,000 t at 1.23% WO3 Inferred, spread across the RC, BN and BK zones. They also hold Silver Boss, an early-stage moly-copper-gold-silver property surrounding Glencore’s closed Boss Mountain moly mine. In this interview, we talked about the 20,000m drill program, the path to a PEA, permitting, and how long the cash lasts.

Growing a Gold Mine in Tanzania, But Can They Do It Without Dilution?

TRX Gold owns 55% of the producing Buckreef Gold Project in the Geita region of northwestern Tanzania. The other 45% is held by STAMICO, the Tanzanian state mining company. In this interview, we talked about the plant expansion, self-funded growth, costs and recoveries, exploration at Stamford Bridge and Anfield, the updated PEA, and the joint venture terms with the government.

11-Year Heap-Leach Gold PEA in Nevada, But Can They Actually Build it?

Bravada Gold Corporation is advancing Wind Mountain, a past-producing gold-silver project about 160 km northeast of Reno in northern Nevada, toward a restart as a shallow open-pit, run-of-mine heap leach. I sat down with Dr. Paul West-Sells, a metallurgist and former CEO of Western Copper and Gold, who became President and CEO on June 8, 2026. We covered the new PEA, the drill and met programs, the path to a PFS and permits, and how they plan to pay for it.

13.4 g/t Gold in Quebec, But Is There a Real System?

Bullion Gold Discoveries’ flagship is the 100%-owned Terragold gold project, about 12 km south of Senneterre in Quebec’s Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Mineralization there is hosted in a quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke, and historical drilling traced it over roughly 2.2 km of strike and about 250 m of depth. The company also holds Bousquet, where Olympio Metals has earned 51% and can earn up to 80%. It owns Langlade, a copper-zinc-gold-silver VMS project, and Bodo, an early-stage project north of Chibougamau. In this interview, I asked about the validation drilling at Terragold, why earlier operators walked away, insider ownership, cash, and what happens when the remaining assays come in.

$12M Gold Revenue in Q2, But Can it Grow Without The Cost Blowing up?

Golconda Gold is a gold producer with two operations. The main focus is the underground Galaxy Gold Mine near Barberton and Mbombela in South Africa, and they’re also restarting the Summit gold-silver mine with the Banner Mill in New Mexico. In this conversation, I asked for a Q2 2026 operational and financial update, plus the Summit restart timeline, costs, the balance sheet, and what they plan to do with future cash flow.
