Here's a quick video of me just walking through a few ideas I have regarding my gold developers peer comparison infographic. This infographic compares four Canadian gold companies at different stages of the development pathway. Thesis Gold and Probe Gold both have imminent PFSes, Skeena Gold & Silver has a funded DFS, and finally Artemis Gold, who is swinging into full-scale production. I have worked to better allow for 1:1 comparisons of NPV, IRR, etc. by standardising technical report sensitivity variables (exchange rate, spot price(s), etc.) between the individual base cases. This serves to increase both the breadth (by comparing across companies) and depth (by projecting a single company’s rerating potential over time) of understanding of these projects for the investor. @thesisgold1473 @artemisgoldinc @skeenagoldsilver Probe Gold

This is a big day for Arizona Gold and Silver. After months and indeed years of build-up, Arizona looks like it is finally, excitingly, be positively confirming the significant blue sky potential management has believed in all along at its Philadelphia project in Arizona. This is because AZS has finally hit the interpreted epithermal boiling zone lurking beneath its Red Hills target. And initial results are excellent, with every indication that they're going to get even better as drilling progresses. The headline numbers - 9.5 gpt AuEq over 20.43 meters (64% tw) are impressive. That this is the top of zone and AZS believes it will extend some 500-600m in total depth, with grade increasing along the way, makes for an even more tantalising scenario. That a clast of ultra high-grade - 45 gpt of Au vein - was found in the breccia higher up clearly supports this idea that with depth will come even better grade. Excellent results here have opened up a whole new path of potential for Arizona. This boiling zone has the depth, grade, and strike length (not to mention epithermal veins over 25m thick - to be a major discovery. And that's pretty darn exciting.

I will get Roy on for a long-form deep dive soon, but in the meantime, recent news demanded I get him on fast to talk about it. That’s because Allied Critical Metals (ACM.CN) released what looks to be - without hyperbole - one of the best pubco tungsten hits ever recorded at its Borrallha brownfield (re)development project. 12m of 4.27% wolframite (or 6m of 8.39%) is quite literally nearly an order of magnitude higher than typical high grade tungsten. Wolframite tungsten is remarkably cheap, easy, and safe to extract and refine. Indeed, Borrallha is estimated to be just CAD $10 million and 6-9 months from pilot production once financing is secured. And the timing couldn’t be better, with Tungsten at multi-decade highs thanks to increasing geopolitical tensions. With strong news flow expected to the end of the year, including more imminent drill results (including visually-similar rock to the above remarkable assay), a resource estimate and new PEA (which will be including this drill campaign), and pilot production still expected in 2026, now is a very good time indeed to be following this company.

Cosa Resources significantly and rapidly advanced its Murphy Lake North project based on the recently-announced results of their summer drill campaign. Not every drill campaign ends in discovery, but every discovery comes from the efforts of multiple drill campaigns, all of them building together to achieve the necessary critical mass of subsurface understanding to drive a new discovery. So while Cosa doesn’t have a discovery to show for this program, as you will see below, they have remarkably compelling evidence that that might change soon enough with a bit more time and effort. That’s because the level of success they found in their very first few holes into their never-before-drilled Cyclone Trend is both rare and rapid. Not many projects ever show this much promise. Very few display it so early. CEO Keith Bodnarchuk joins me again to walk me through this news release and what exactly has Cosa so excited. And, frankly, me for that matter, too.

More news out of Founders Metals recently. Drilling around their flagship Upper Antino discovery has critically expanded areas of known mineralisation along strike, laterally, and at depth. With ~30,000 meters left to be drilled and released this year, and the weather cooperating for farther afield high grade discoveries to be easily returned to for further drilling, Founders looks like it has what it takes to end the year strong. CEO Colin Padget sits down with me once more for another frank conversation to discuss these results and also to address shareholder concerns regarding recent negative share price movement and perceived issues behind it.

This is a big development for Tocvan. One that has been years in the making. Tocvan's stated goal has always been to push to early stage proof of concept production, betting that their jurisdictional advantages (in Sonora, Mexico - pro mining, very cheap, many neighbouring peers) would allow them to accelerate the timeline to production. Then, of course, Mexico gained some perceived jurisdictional risk due to government rhetoric regarding mining reform, which dampened the market's enthusiasm for Tocvan's plan. Not that Tocvan ever stopped exploring and advancing its Pilar project, mind you. But as of this morning, those concerns are officially put to rest. This is because Tocvan has now received every permit required for its pilot production plant and extensive further exploration across its entire property. With these now in place, Tocvan can finally begin its plan, a plan that will see remarkable growth take place in the next 12-24 months if they can execute successfully. And I believe they will.

01:15 Introduction to Evan and His Work
04:30 What About Your Origin Story with Thesis and What Drew You to Lawyers-Ranch?
07:00 What is your short order, high priority goal for this campaign?
08:45 How has the transition from academia and government to market geology been?
With summer exploration season upon us and another big drill campaign coming for Thesis Gold, I thought this would be a good time to publish a brief sit down I had with Thesis Gold's new(ish) Chief Geologist, Dr. Evan Orovan. Thesis Gold's Lawyers-Ranch project is tantalising - a long list of potential further discoveries, with targets all over the property, all separate from and in addition to the existing 4 million M+I deposit already proven up here. And that's without taking into consideration the chance for a porphyry discovery underlying the whole system, a theory which was demonstrated by Amarc Resource's impressive recent discovery. So it is in this space - a large, powerful resource already on the books, but with the potential for entirely new (and even new types) of discoveries that Evan joins Thesis and the Lawyers-Ranch project with the hopes of driving further exploration-led growth. And he has a resume (and CV) that should make you excited about that potential: A PhD in economic geology, an expert understanding of a wide array or tool and techniques that can drive discovery, years of government experience and intimate knowledge of BC's geological potential, and, now, a project of his own - and the budget needed - to bring to bear his ideas. Evan is an obviously sharp and intelligent thinker, and valuable addition to the team. Should his clear expertise prove up further discovery, up to and including the potential for their own porphyry, Thesis could be a fundamentally different company in not much time.

Cosa Resources is a junior uranium explorer operating on the eastern edge of Saskatchewan's prolific Athabasca Basin. A shrewd deal with Denison Mines has recently given Cosa a 70% option on some of the premium unexplored targets left in the region. Now with 4 holes from last winter helping them vector in, Cosa has returned to the high potential Murphy Lake North property for an 8 hole, 3000m program to search again for their elusive discovery hole. Just 2km along trend from one of the most impressive uranium discoveries of all time - the Hurricane Discovery - which the Cosa team played an instrumental role in, there are lots of reasons to get excited. Currently drilling and potentially just weeks away from results, Cosa is approaching a potential hingepoint in its existence, and something investors should be watching closely.

Tickers AZS.V and AZASF. I sat down with CEO Mike Stark for a brief news update. Since we last spoke, the company has released a couple sets of results from their ongoing drill campaign at their Philadelphia project, acquired land for a future heap leach pad, and have announced some $3.2 million in the bank in part courtesy of significant insider option exercising. AZS is still drilling as it builds towards its maiden resource within the next 12 months or so. And with the rig imminent at BLM Pad 2, they have a chance to fully and properly prove their “boiling zone under the Red Hills” geological model correct (after teasing it with hole 136) and add some critical high-grade ounces to their project. Mike and I chat about all this, the market response to their results, the importance of the leach pad land acquisition, insider support, and more.

This is one I’ve followed for a while, including a couple of paid sub notes on them. The similarities (and therefore immediate allure) to another company I follow closely (Founders Metals) make for an awfully compelling narrative here. Consider the obvious parallels: Location of Sela Creek (and Nassau) are in south/eastern Suriname, orogenic gold in the Guiana Shield, leveraging preexisting artisanal prospecting and mining as exploration tools, using similar geophysical tools and strategies, smart younger team. The valuation is rich ($75 million mc for a pre-discovery, pre-assay - for now - explorer) but clearly demonstrates the respect the market is giving Guiana Shield exploration. In truth, the valuation bedevils me. $75 million market cap without an assay in hand. Now all that’s left to do is prove the compelling narrative can be meaningfully converted into a compelling discovery.

In this conversation, Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, CEO of Contango Ore, discusses the company's recent cash distribution, tonnage delivery improvements, and financial strategies amidst a turbulent macroeconomic environment. He highlights the significance of exceeding production guidance and the company's plans for accelerated debt management. Key Points: 1. Contango Ore has reported a significant cash distribution of $24 million. The company is producing 30% more gold (19,500oz vs 15-18,000oz guidance). 2. Bridge weight restrictions will also be solved via funding approvals for repairs now in place. 3. At current prices, the company forecasts over $80 million and could be debt free by EOY. 4. A PEA for the Johnson Tract project is expected soon, indicating future growth opportunities. titles

Back again with Founders Metals (FDR.V). They’re officially north of $6 CAD these days, breaking through ATHs alongside gold. And well-deserved considering the news they’re releasing. 72m of 2.29 gpt Au extending Van Gogh to depths of 200m, after opening it up with 28.5 of 7.12 g/t from 18.6m down. This is yet another major discovery for Founders, and even more excitingly, the first brand new discovery, without historical workings or exploration to guide them. This certainly bodes well not just for Founders’ mastery of Antino, but the sheer size of the potential on display down here as well. I also do a little math based on Agentis work to rank Founders’ Antino project globally.

Tocvan Ventures (TOC.CN) is moving again. With the drill turning, they are starting to receive positive results from the lab that certainly appear to confirm management’s belief in their Gran Pilar project. Strong gold mineralisation has been intersected in the first-ever handful of holes drilled outside the Main Zone, expanding the known orebody some 100-200m to the north. In addition, infill drilling along a separate, parallel, zone also came back unexpectedly positive. With drilling ongoing, it’s certainly exciting times for Tocvan. CEO Brodie Sutherland joins me again to chat drill results, assay reporting methodology, and bulk sample plans in a quick exploration update.

Tocvan Venture (TOC.CN) remains one of my top picks. It’s a tightly-held and smartly-managed gold explorer/developer operating its Gran Pilar flagship project in the world-class mining district of Sonora, Mexico. Sonora is among the cheapest places in the world to both explore and produce gold. Tocvan is working to defy the typical junior exploreco model tbat relies on M&A to produce a happy ending. Rather than relying on a buyer, given the remarkably low economic hurdles that are to be found in Sonora as an at-surface heap leach project, CEO Brodie Sutherland is preparing for Tocvan to bring Gran Pilar to production themselves. In pursuit of this, Tocvan is months away from initiating a 50,000 tonne bulk sample heap leach. This pilot-stage mining will be conducted on site and will provide critical insight into overall grade as well as opportunities to fine-tune processing and recovery methods. The data this bulk sample will provide will go a long way in confirming and establishing the potential of Gran Pilar With a MRE and PEA also expected to follow roughly by the end of the year, Tocvan is approaching a potential inflection point. Indeed, if they execute successfully in 2025, Tocvan’s potential both as an explorer (drilling outside Pilar Main for the first time ever) producer (recovery rates, head grade, final concentrate characteristics, etc.) will have been both confirmed and expanded in critical ways. This could get exciting.

A new company to JRI - Oroco Resource Corp is a copper porphyry developer operating in Sinaloa, Mexico. With 6 billion pounds of payable copper (including inferred), OCO’s Santo Tomas project is no small thing, and with a tiny 1.38:1 strip ratio, strong metallurgy, and solid economics, there’s a lot to like with Oroco. However, Oroco has taken on some chart damage from its dizzying highs a few years back, and Mexican jurisdictional concerns more recently (cartel violence in Sinaloa and potential federal open pit restrictions) have only added to the downward pressure. President Ian Graham joins me to discuss Santo Tomas, and how Oroco plans to get back up off the mat to make sure Santo Tomas meets with a happy M&A ending.
