After starting 2025 hovering around the 55 cent range, Thesis continues its massive tear, pushing all the way up to and past $3.00 here now.  And the merits of Thesis’ Lawyers-Ranch project make this sharp rerating well-deserved. The format this time is an investor-based Q&A, with all questions sourced from ceo.ca users or my followers.
I’m in Vancouver for conference season, and having listened to a presentation by Thesis on its continuing geological potential, my excitement for this story got renewed all over again.

Thesis Gold continues to confirm itself as one of North America’s most impressive gold-silver development plays. With today’s (Dec. 1) release of their PFS, Thesis has become even more impressive, demonstrating how powerful their Lawyers-Ranch project is amidst record gold prices. The boilerplate economics are fantastic (and were built using $2900 spot with gold well above $4000) demonstrating full well just how much blue sky potential this gold run has created for top-tier gold stories. I sit down with Ewan to dig in past the headline numbers, discussing the mine plan and its underlying assumptions, Thesis’ decision-making processes, their engineering firm, and future strategies.

Cosa continues to grow into one of my favourite stories. This is due in large part to the fact that they’ve continually modeled what I see as pre-exploration best practice - demonstrating both clear commitment and ability to making (another) major uranium discovery. With a whole host of news released in the preceding weeks - a new strategic advisor (CEO David Cates of Denison Mines) joining the team, their exploration plans for undrilled Darby, an upsized $7.5 million financing (interview was recorded prior to its announcement), and news out of their secondary properties, among others - there was much to discuss with CEO Keith Bodnarchuk. See the results of our conversation for yourself below. With winter drilling fast approaching, things look like they’re going to start getting exciting again for Cosa’s exploration team very shortly.

Link to companion article: https://juniorresourceinvesting.subst... Founders Metals keeps on building a world-leading gold discovery play. After a huge run of drill-led success, Founders has landed two major pieces the last week or two that look to fuel the next run of value creation for them: 1. A major increase in their land holdings (including significant alluvial mining and many similar traits to Upper Antino) going from 20,000 to 56,000 hectares. 2. A $50 million (and 10.6% stake) strategic investment from the 7th largest (by ounces) gold producer in the world, namely Gold Fields.$50 million,, a plethora of new discovery targets, and a world-leading technical team. This one remains a high confidence pick for ongoing

The second and final interview out of my time in Calgary. This one with Fathom Nickel (FNI.CN) CEO Ian Fraser. Ian catches me up on progress at their Gochager Lake nickel+ project with some pretty compelling above ground work that 1. Has opened up a trend of at least 3.5km of favourable (mineralised) host rock for high-grade zones within it and 2. That the historic Gochager deposit itself is surrounded by anomalies (across multiple data sets) that meet and exceed its own signature.

I took the trip down the #1 highway to Calgary a couple weeks back for some sit downs with a few clients and industry members. Below is one of those sit downs, an interview recorded with CEO Brodie Sutherland of Tocvan Ventures. Good news continues to flow out of Tocvan’s Gran Pilar gold project in Sonora, Mexico - newly-discovered zones, historical workings, positive geochem and aeromag results, warrants exercising, positive permitting developments, and aggressive future drilling plans (some 15,000-20,000m before end of 2026). It takes news flow to get noticed in this industry, and Tocvan promises to deliver a lot of it over the next 12-18 months. Add in gold doing what it’s been doing (trading sideways at $4000 of all prices currently) and that’s a pretty powerful combination.

Here’s an October update from Contango Ore (CTGO.NYSE). Contango continues to produce high-grade, high-margin gold alongside gold’s historic march to over $4000. CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse joins me to discuss numerous topics - shifting mine plans, debt payments, future plans, and why his company opted to go to the market for more cash despite their healthy revenue this year. CTGO continues to shed itself of its remaining debts and hedges as quickly as possible while still advancing both Lucky Shot and Johnson Tract to short term production. With spot at these unprecedented levels, the time to move is now, and Contango is moving aggressively forward.

Thesis Gold’s significant upward movement this year (+236% ytd) still hasn’t brought it to fair value by my estimation, as I demonstrated in my recent infographic. With the first 3 holes now back from the ongoing 2025 drill campaign, including a headline hole of 89.3m of 1.1 g/t Au (and ending in mineralisation) and a PFS at significantly higher spot prices due imminently, Thesis looks poised to further ride this unprecedented wave as gold continues to sharply rerate.
