Dundee Corporation CEO Jonathan Goodman argues mining has entered a “generational opportunity” after generalist investors largely abandoned the sector post-2010 and amid growing recognition that North America needs secure domestic supply chains and new mines. Goodman expects Canada and the U.S. to streamline permitting, citing direct government outreach and the view that permitting should not take a decade. Drawing on mine-building experience at Dundee Precious Metals in Bulgaria and Serbia, he explains why discounted cash flow and NI 43-101 stage-gate studies can mislead and can often be no more than marketing documents. He urges investors to focus on recommendations and risk sections of studies and to assess orebody quality first. He shares insights regarding stakeholder biases, Dundee’s approach to independent technical review, preference for mainstream metals, examples of contrarian success, why merchant banks trade at NAV discounts, and Dundee’s strategy to add predictable cash flow, including its Westhaven Gold Corp. deal and cash-heavy valuation discount. 00:00 Intro 00:48 Decade of the Miner 03:20 Permitting Tailwinds 05:15 Building Mines Lessons 06:35 Why DCF Fails 09:00 PEA PFS Reality Check 13:24 Financing with Banks 14:39 Biases Across Mining 17:11 Merchant Bank NAV Discount 19:12 Independent Data Edge 21:48 Ore Body vs Management 24:49 Let Rocks Speak 25:55 AI and Small Fund 27:40 Metals to Focus On 29:06 Contrarian Win Case Study 32:04 Start Small Scale Up 37:09 Advice for Retail Investors 40:31 Westhaven Due Diligence 44:01 Dundee Value Proposition Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 This interview was not sponsored.

Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins stated: “To deliver a 24% increase in total resources from our maiden drill program – and to do so at a cost of just US$0.05 per pound – is a strong endorsement of our exploration approach and the potential scale of the uranium resources across our Muntanga Project area. This resource upgrade is a great start to achieving the Exploration Target we announced for the Project late last year. The Company aims to materially increase the mineral resource to underpin a significantly larger uranium mine in Zambia. We’re embarking on the largest drill program for the Project in almost 20 years later this month and we see clear scope for this program to significantly expand the Project’s resource inventory and unlock further value for shareholders.” https://atomiceagle.com.au/ ASX: AEU - OTCQB: AEUXF Press Release Discussed: https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AEU/03063707.pdf 00:00 Intro 00:26 Resource Up 24% 02:12 Why This Project 03:55 New Targets Ahead 05:43 Low-Cost Uranium Drilling 08:40 Feasibility Study Re Release 10:34 Peers 11:41 North America Roadshow 12:53 Nigeria Asset Update 14:30 ETF Inclusion Sponsor Atomic Eagle pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

Host Bill Powers interviews Scorpio Gold CEO Zane Kalyan and Executive Technical Director Leo Hathaway about exploration at the consolidated Manhattan District in Nevada ten miles south of Kinross’ Round Mountain. Hathaway explains why the underexplored trend with historic pits and workings attracted him, his role overseeing exploration and communicating a Lumina Group-style plan to grow the current 740,000-ounce pit-constrained inferred resource toward a 2-million-ounce year-end target and possibly beyond. They discuss Black Mammoth’s geology on the Reliance Fault and why hole 57 is viewed as a “discovery hole,” highlighted by 40.23m of over 1 g/t gold from 195m downhole, with systematic 50 m step-outs and additional holes underway. They also review early Iron Queen diamond-drill results, ongoing three-rig drilling, six holes recently shipped for assays, claim diligence, and additional targets such as Keystone Jumbo and Hooligan, plus the district’s April Fool claim history. 00:00 Intro 00:43 Why Leo Chose Scorpio Gold 03:10 Nevada District Overview 03:58 Exploration Strategy and Goals 05:37 Black Mammoth Discovery 08:17 Underground Development Angle 10:01 Discovery Hole and Step Outs 11:44 Iron Queen Results 13:11 Drilling Update and Assays 14:38 April Fool Deposit History 16:11 Claims and Title Security 17:43 Conclusion TSX.V: SGN -- OTCQB: SRCRF -- FSE: RY9 www.ScorpioGold.com Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Scorpio Gold Corp. pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

Pro Investor David Erfle reveals how he is managing the recent junior mining volatility and sell-off. David reminds listeners that in small resource stocks risk management is number one. Although he is not predicting it, he even sees the possibility where gold might trade down to $2,800/oz. If gold closes a week below $4,200/oz that is a threshold that David expects would trigger more selling. This recent sell-off, he explains, also creates a nice possible entry point for new gold stock investors. Dave emphasizes that fundamentals remain bullish longer term, but risk management, taking profits, and accumulating in tranches are essential, especially for newer entrants. David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day. 00:00 Intro 00:52 Portfolio Moves in Volatility 01:59 Deleveraging and Forced Selling 04:33 Cash and Risk-Free Juniors 05:45 Key Gold & Silver Levels 07:21 Corrections in Bull Markets 08:59 Politics Rates and Miner Costs 11:41 Accumulating Fishing Lines 13:40 Valuations and $10,000 Gold Talk 16:54 GDX & GDXJ Support Targets 21:00 Tranche Buying David’s website: https://juniorminerjunky.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Tim Clark, CEO of Fury Gold Mines, provides an update on the advancements at the Eau Claire gold project in northern Quebec as well as an overall corporate update along with SVP Bryan Atkinson. The key Eau Claire highlight was infill drill hole 26EC-099, which targeted an inferred portion of the Eau Claire resource and intercepted 11.74 g/t gold over 6.63 metres approximately 40m down plunge from previous drilling. A second hole, 26EC-101, which is a further 40m step down plunge outside of the existing resource envelope has just been completed and results are pending. “Drilling at Eau Claire continues to reinforce resource continuity, confirming mineralization remains well-developed and predictable within the deposit,” stated Tim Clark. “Importantly, the program shows the potential to grow the deposit between resource blocks (the Gap Zone) in shallow previously untested areas, and we look forward to continued drilling to further de-risk and expand Eau Claire as we unlock additional value for shareholders.” 00:00 Introduction 00:28 2025 Advancements 2:21 Phillips Baker, retired Hecla CEO, joins Fury board 3:53 Eau Claire drill program 6:35 Treasury 8:51 2026 Anticipated spending 10:04 Committee Bay 10:55 Sakami project 13:06 Conclusion Sponsor: https://furygoldmines.com/ Ticker: FURY Press Release discussed: https://furygoldmines.com/fury-intercepts-11-74-g-t-gold-over-6-63-metres-from-infill-drilling-at-eau-claire-commences-phase-2-drilling/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Fury Gold Mines pays MSE a United States dollar seven thousand per month coverage fee.

Tavi Costa, founder and CEO of Azuria Capital, reveals three contrarian macro trades for which, he says, “people will call me crazy.” He also discusses the recent gold sell-off, which Costa argues does not fit a typical liquidation event since equities and treasuries were not crashing; he suggests an alternative possibility that Iran or other gray-area actors may have sold gold accumulated via oil trade outside the dollar system. Costa says the pullback created an oversold buying opportunity and expects gold to be multiples higher over 5–10 years, driven by dollar devaluation tied to U.S. twin deficits, central-bank buying, stagnant mine supply, deglobalization, and portfolio reallocation toward gold. He also addresses multipolarity and petrodollar concerns, favoring gradual shifts rather than a near-term reserve-currency change. Costa describes rotating across commodities, taking profits in energy, buying gold and quality miners, and adding contrarian options positions. 00:00 Intro 00:45 Gold Sell-off Explained 02:52 Middle East Gold Rumors 04:31 Buying the Dip 06:17 Gold Drivers Long Term 10:08 Petrodollar and Multipolarity 12:37 Commodity Rotation Strategy 15:40 How He Buys Gold 17:29 Three Mispriced Bets 20:29 Most Contrarian Wins 24:33 Brazil and Emerging Markets 26:59 Zeria Capital Mission 31:32 Where to Follow Tavi https://x.com/TaviCosta https://tavicosta.substack.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 This was not a sponsored interview.

Host Brian Leni interviews Amanda van Dyke, founder and managing director of the Critical Minerals Hub and author of The Mineral Imperative, about rising mineral demand, supply-chain complexity, and geopolitical risk. Van Dyke says global metals and minerals output has doubled over 25 years and must at least double again to maintain today’s economic level, while mining faces lower grades and a discovery drought. She warns shortages can trigger volatile outcomes, including trade and shooting wars, noting China invested about $1 trillion over 25 years to control roughly 60% of the global metals/minerals supply chain and 90% of some small critical metals. They discuss Strait of Hormuz disruption risk, U.S. defense stockpiles, government-backed price floors like the MP Materials rare earth deal, G7 coordination, and why EU anti-mining policies and permitting risk make it a poor investment jurisdiction after losing 40% of mining capacity. 00:00 Intro 00:57 Meet Amanda Van Dyke 02:25 Why We Must Mine More 03:48 Scarcity and Trade Wars 05:54 Middle East Chokepoint Risks 09:30 Defense Stockpiles Reality 13:06 US Price Floors Explained 21:06 G7 Minerals Club Plans 22:48 EU Anti Mining Problem 27:20 Where Value Is Now 31:30 Biggest Bear Case Recession 33:45 AI And Net Zero Reality Check 37:05 The Mineral Imperative Book https://criticalmineralshub.org/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 This was not a sponsored interview.

Tomasz Nadrowski is the author of “Mineral War: China’s Quest for Weapons of Mineral Destruction.” In this episode, host Bill Powers interviews Tomasz to understand the nature of this mineral war so that investors can discern the best profit opportunities. Nadrowski shares that China has quasi-monopolized and weaponized critical mineral supply chains, forcing the West to rebuild upstream-to-downstream value chains where geopolitics can matter as much as geology. He describes his mining and hedge fund background, his fund’s focus on rare earths, battery materials, and specialty metals, and the need to assess offtake, processing capacity, and government policy. Tomasz argues effective policy requires three levers: upstream reference prices, protection via tariffs, and downstream incentives to adopt Western/allied materials instead of cheap Chinese supply; he criticizes cost-plus pricing while viewing the MP Materials deal as a market signal lowering capital costs. The discussion covers tungsten (China’s ~82% control), top monopolies (heavy rare earths, gallium, flake graphite), gallium and germanium sourcing, China’s Africa deal structure and debt effects, China’s control of nickel via Indonesia, and trading/exit discipline amid high volatility. 00:00 Intro 00:20 Meet the Guest 00:52 Mining to Hedge Funds 02:32 Mineral War Thesis 03:45 How the Fund Invests 06:14 Government Grants Angle 08:09 Price Floors Debate 10:26 Tariffs and Incentives 12:21 Tungsten Spotlight 14:29 Why China Restricts Exports 17:18 China in Africa Playbook 19:51 Africa Debt Reckoning 21:49 What to Call This System 22:51 China Debt Dilemma 23:51 Critical Minerals Ranking 24:24 Why Gallium Matters 26:49 Germanium Supply and Stockpiles 28:36 US Policy Whiplash 30:23 Nickel Indonesia China Proxy 32:11 Competing with China Standards 35:05 Investing Exit Strategy Tomasz’s book: https://www.amazon.com/Mineral-War-Chinas-Weapons-Destruction/dp/B0GHDYRLZK Tomasz’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadrowski Tomasz’s fund: https://www.amvestterraden.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 This was not a sponsored interview.

Bill Powers interviews resource fund manager Adrian Day about market volatility tied to war in Iran, comparisons to the late 1970s, and positioning in gold, oil, and commodities. Day argues the U.S. is moving into stagflation as employment and retail weaken while inflation remains stubborn, citing issues with unemployment data, rising credit card debt, and consumers trading down. He explains gold often rises before geopolitical events and then sells off as profits are taken, while remaining bullish on gold over the next 6–12 months. On oil, he says the oil stocks have rerated and are not especially cheap, so he has been selling oil stocks recently. Day expects commodities to benefit from underinvestment cycles and discusses copper supply constraints, demand risks from EVs and data centers, and his investment in Lara Exploration. 00:00 Intro 00:29 War Iran and 70s Echoes 01:42 Why Gold Shrugs Off War 04:12 Long Term Gold Bull Case 04:49 Oil Setup and ESG Headwinds 07:31 Stagflation Jobs and Spending 13:57 Inflation Reality Check 16:00 Commodities and Supply Cycles 18:27 Copper Shortage and Substitution 20:14 EVs Data Centers Demand Debate 25:11 Copper Investing and Recycling 28:00 How to Play Gold Stocks 35:37 Lara Exploration Thesis 39:44 Website Resources and Wrap Up https://adriandayassetmanagement.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Bill Powers interviews First Phosphate CEO John Passalacqua following PDAC, where the company received a non-repayable C$16.7M grant and highlighted government support for critical mineral supply chains. Passalacqua says the funding de-risks the company through feasibility, permitting, and toward a final investment decision, with drilling nearly complete and a feasibility study targeted for December 2026. He explains LFP batteries are largely phosphate-based and that First Phosphate’s high-purity igneous phosphate resource in Quebec is rare and advantaged by proximity to infrastructure and a deep-sea port. He discusses phosphate being added to Canada’s critical minerals list and related tax credits for downstream facilities, outlines a 10,000 tpa LFP CAM plant concept pending tariff clarity, and reviews U.S. market access via OTCQX and a new 10:1 ADR, along with insider share purchases and recent stock highs. 00:00 Intro 00:54 Canada Grant Impact 02:11 Drilling and Feasibility Timeline 03:02 Why LFP Needs Phosphate 04:05 Infrastructure and Location Edge 05:29 Critical Minerals List Benefits 07:55 Downstream Plant and Tariff Pause 09:03 Europe and US Strategy 10:20 OTCQX Tickers and ADR Explained 14:07 Insider Buying and Alignment 15:05 Valuation and Execution Outlook 16:53 Wrap Up and Disclaimers First Phosphate Introductory Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD7t1Q7OZfU Press releases discussed: https://firstphosphate.com/first-phosphate-nrcan-funding-16-7m/ https://firstphosphate.com/canada-critical-minerals-phosphate-clean-tech/ https://firstphosphate.com/first-phosphate-adr-program-fphoy-otcqx/ https://firstphosphate.com/ CSE: PHOS – FSE: KD0 – OTCQX: FRSPF – OTCQX-ADR: FPHOY Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor First Phosphate pays Mining Stock Education a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

Bill Powers interviews Adrian O’Brien of Midnight Sun Mining at PDAC in Toronto about the company’s copper discovery in the Zambia–DRC copper belt amid competing US- and China-backed rail corridors to access regional copper. O’Brien recounts the company’s transformation from a ~$20–25M market cap to ~C$300M after regaining 100% ownership of its flagship Dumbwa target, raising C$10M and later C$30.5M, building institutional support, and hiring COO Kevin Bonel (formerly Barrick) to apply a Lumwana-style exploration approach. Midnight Sun is drilling its 20 km Dumbwa target soil anomaly systematically on a grid with multiple rigs, targeting a large near-surface basement-dome copper system, awaiting many assays, and positioning as an explorer aiming for eventual M&A while also monetizing an oxide resource. https://midnightsunmining.com/ TSXV:MMA OTCQX:MDNGF 00:00 Intro 00:28 Meet Midnight Sun 01:34 From Microcap to Funded 03:29 De Risking the Story 05:14 Africa Copper Hotspot 07:41 Rail Corridors Clash 09:33 Why First Quantum Missed 12:14 Basement Dome Geology 14:37 Valuation and M&A Benchmarks 16:10 Kevin Bonel Joins 18:45 Grid Drilling Like a Major 21:34 Assay Backlog Reality 23:08 Explorer to Sale Strategy 24:12 Data Room Interest 25:09 Methodical Not Boring 26:55 Geology Twists and Bornite 28:29 What Makes a Great Hole 29:56 Lens Model and Grades 31:42 Treasury and Drill Costs 33:42 Financing Discipline 36:22 Assay Turnaround and Visual Core 37:50 Tickers and Contact Info Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Midnight Sun Mining pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

In this month’s Junior Mining Insights discussion, Bill Powers and Brian Leni recap the past month in junior mining with a North American focus after attending Vancouver’s Metals Investor Forum and PDAC in Toronto. They evaluate Canadian government initiatives and grants around critical minerals and processing capacity, with Brian expressing skepticism but acknowledging speculative implications when support validates strong projects. Bill shares lessons from high-net-worth investors and explains the three types of junior mining “ghosts” that spook your equities. The duo further discusses investor psychology, volatility management, due diligence, management vision, and caution around the growing trend of bulk sampling. 00:00 Intro 01:06 MIF & PDAC Sentiment 04:00 Canada processing push 05:34 Politics and US ties 08:57 Government signals investing 12:44 PDAC day two crowds 15:41 Bull market and rumors 17:41 Volatility and psychology 20:58 High net worth playbook 26:33 Junior mining ghosts 29:59 Spotting Hidden Power 30:55 Using Ghost Categories 32:08 Macro Marketing Moves 35:16 Conviction Over Speculation 38:31 When Bad Actors Appear 42:41 Bulk Sampling Trend 48:22 Financing Frenzy Signals 52:05 Attributing Price Moves Brian’s website: https://www.juniorstockreview.com/ Brian’s YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FIELD_NOTES Bill’s Twitter: https://x.com/MiningStockEdu Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Host Brian Leni interviews Justin Huhn of UraniumInsider.com about uranium market fundamentals and investing. Huhn explains Kazatomprom’s India supply deal as a large long-term contract that signals more Kazakh production being committed to eastern sovereign buyers, tightening availability for Western utilities. He discusses opaque contracting terms, utility inventory practices, producer forward sales, and expected production declines at major mines, plus Kazatomprom’s sulfuric acid constraints and value-over-volume strategy. Huhn outlines how contract structures have shifted from fixed pricing to market-referenced contracts with floors and high ceilings, supporting upside price exposure. He cites key risks such as a major nuclear accident, while arguing supply deficits persist on a 5–7 year view. They cover “Project Vault” uncertainty, geopolitics, China’s role in Namibia, data centers de-risking reactor life extensions, potential tech offtake financing for NexGen’s Arrow, SMR progress in the US and Canada, conversion as a bottleneck, and his view that small-cap uranium explorers/developers offer strong equity upside with a $150–$200/lb price target. 00:00 Uranium Bull Case 00:38 Kazatomprom India Deal 03:45 How Much Supply Is Left 08:41 Sulfuric Acid Constraints 14:00 Contract Terms Shift 20:28 Bear Case Scenarios 26:42 Project Vault Impact 28:52 Deglobalization Strategy 31:26 Uranium Trade Diversification 31:59 Geopolitics In Africa 33:58 Namibia And China Control 35:38 Data Centers Demand Debate 36:38 Life Extensions And Upgrades 40:21 Hyperscalers Fund Uranium 44:39 Small Modular Reactors 50:01 Fuel Cycle Bottlenecks 53:32 Equity Upside And Cycles 57:07 Where To Follow Justin 58:26 Supply Fragility Wrap Up https://www.uraniuminsider.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Tim Kingsley, VP Exploration of Coppernico Metals, commented, “We are very pleased with the outcome of the [gravity, magnetic and photogrammetry] surveys. Initial results are being used to provide clearer definition of these significant, multi-kilometre-scale skarn and porphyry targets which remain mostly untested by drilling.” Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO of Coppernico Metals, commented, “The new gravity and magnetic datasets represent a major advancement in our understanding of the geology between Antapampa and Tipicancha, and have highlighted several large-scale targets that remain untested. With this technical foundation in place, Coppernico is now strongly positioned to launch a comprehensive, multi-target drill program that could deliver several opportunities for a transformational discovery.” Sponsor: https://coppernicometals.com/ TSX:COPR; OTCQB: CPPMF; FSE: 9I3 0:00 Introduction 2:32 Phase 1 Drilling Results & Iterative Approach 4:21 Survey Results & Target Refinement 6:32 Las Bambas Analog & Regional Context 8:10 Scale & Grade Potential 9:44 Phase 2 Drilling Strategy 12:48 Tipicancha Target Discussion 13:50 Antapampa Target 14:53 Timeline, Financing & Permits 17:31 Long-term Strategy & Market Timing 18:52 NYSE Listing Plans? 19:40 Closing Remarks Press release discussed: https://coppernicometals.com/coppernico-completes-gravity-and-magnetic-surveys-and-refines-large-skarn-porphyry-targets/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Coppernico Metals pays MSE a United States dollar seven thousand per month coverage fee.

Pro Investor David Erfle reveals how he is playing the Mexican silver miners. In light of Vizsla Silver’s mine workers who were kidnapped and killed by the cartel recently, are Mexican silver miners a buy, sell or hold? David shares what he sold and what he is holding. He also provides commentary on the precious metals prices and junior mining sector. David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day.

Atomic Eagle offers a compelling entry into the uranium bull market, backed by a proven team from Matador Capital—the original architects behind Boss Energy's success and Lotus Resources' recent mine restart. Through a strategic RTO of GovEx Uranium, they've acquired the advanced Muntanga project in mining-friendly Zambia: a 47.4M lb resource at 344 ppm U3O8, with a feasibility study showing robust economics at $90/lb uranium. But the current investment thesis is not that of a mine build story. Atomic Eagle’s focus is on aggressive exploration to double resources via a current 50,000m drill program, targeting a 40-100M lb upside which conceptually could see a mega-mine producing 4-5M lbs/year through low-cost heap leaching (90%+ recovery with low acid consumption). Well-funded with ~A$20M cash, Atomic is undervalued when compared, on an enterprise value to pounds-in-the-ground basis, to ASX peers like Deep Yellow and Bannerman. Near-term catalysts: Resource upgrade (early March), feasibility re-release, and exploration drill results. Bonus optionality: Potential recovery of the world-class Madaouela asset in Niger (120M lbs at >1,300 ppm), if current talks with the Niger government are fruitful. In this MSE episode, listen to Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins explain the company’s full investment thesis. https://atomiceagle.com.au/ ASX: AEU - OTCQB: AEUXF 00:00 Intro 00:34 Meet Atomic Eagle: ASX RTO of GoviEx & Who’s Behind It 01:28 Matador’s Uranium Track Record: Boss Energy to Lotus Restart Success 03:12 Why the GoviEx Deal Happened: ASX Valuation Comps & Timing 04:31 US OTCQB Listing: Tapping North American Uranium Investors 06:05 Friedland Connections & Geopolitics: US/China/Russia in Africa 08:26 The Muntanga Project Breakdown: Resource, Tenure & 2025 FS Context 10:08 Growth Strategy: New Drilling, Resource Upgrade & 4–5M lb/yr Heap Leach Concept 12:32 Funding & 2025 Drill Plan: 50,000m Program and Priority Targets 14:15 Zambia Advantage: Mining-Friendly Jurisdiction, Infrastructure & Export Route 17:12 The Niger Asset: Expropriation, Arbitration & Potential Upside 19:27 Near-Term Catalysts + Technical Upsides: Recovery, Acid Use, Permitting 21:42 Wrap-Up, Tickers, and Sponsor Coverage Ahead Sponsor Atomic Eagle pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.
