Terrain Minerals’ flagship is the Smokebush gold and silver project, which sits roughly 350 km north of Perth in the Yalgoo-Singleton greenstone belt of Western Australia, on the flank of a granite next to Mt Mulgine and in the same district as Golden Grove. Smokebush is 100% owned and hosts the Lightning and Monza prospects plus earlier-stage targets including Wildflower, Hurley and Paradise City, and Terrain also holds the Larin’s Lane gallium and rare earth prospect nearby, the Carlindie project in the Pilbara and the Biloela copper-gold project in Queensland. In this interview, I asked about the maiden resource, the newly designed drill campaign off the back of an IP survey, metallurgy, treasury and dilution, permitting and the path toward early production.

Gold Terra’s flagship is the historic Con Mine, which is located about 2 km south of downtown Yellowknife, where Gold Terra is earning into 100% from Newmont, with the option running to November 2027. The conversation covered current drilling on Zone 103N and Yellorex, a sonic program on the historic Con tailings, the upcoming PEA, the treasury, and where the Newmont negotiation stands.

Total Metals’ flagship is Electrolode, a copper-zinc-gold-silver VMS project about 69 km from Ear Falls in the Red Lake district of northwestern Ontario, alongside four other assets: Pick Lake (zinc, Winston Lake belt), High Lake and West Hawk Lake (gold, on the Manitoba-Ontario border), and Menary (gold, near Coeur Mining’s Rainy River mine). In this conversation, I asked chairman Michael Dehn about the finished winter drill program, the plan to consolidate a district rather than build one deposit, First Nations engagement and permitting, money, and the share price collapse.

Western Exploration’s flagship is the Aura gold-silver project about 120 km north of Elko, Nevada. Aura is three deposits rather than one: Doby George, a near-surface oxide body they want to run as a 7,500 tonne per day open pit heap leach; Gravel Creek, a higher-grade sulphide system they see as an underground mine; and Wood Gulch, a small historic Homestake pit. In this interview, I asked about the October 2025 PEA numbers, the mine plan of operations just filed with the US Forest Service, permitting timelines, Gravel Creek metallurgy and concentrate marketing, the treasury, and how they intend to fund roughly US$150 million of work.
