Founders Metals' Recent "Sequence of Transformative Events" That Promises to Drive Further Value

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.

"Now's The Time To Be Pushing": Why Tocvan's Gold Zones Keep Growing During This Bull Market

​ @tocvanventures
Time Stamps Below
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.

Imminent PFS & Drill Results: Thesis Gold

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.

Big and Getting Bigger: Kodiak Copper's Maiden Resource

Link to Companion Article and Written Summary: https://juniorresourceinvesting.subst...
Kodiak Copper is in the middle of a critical milestone, having released part one of their maiden resource for their MPD project (with part two due before end of year). Including inferred tonnes, the resource for the first 4 zones reported is nearly 300Mt of 0.35% CuEq. The remaining three zones will be reported before the end of the year. With peer valuation comps favourable to Kodiak and copper pushing steadily higher, the timing appears good for Kodiak investors.

Canadian Gold Developers Peer Comparison: Infographic Companion Video and Finding Deep Value.

Link to Infographic: https://open.substack.com/pub/juniorr...
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

Boiling Over: A Critical New High-Grade Gold Discovery By Arizona Gold & Silver

Link to Companion Article: https://juniorresourceinvesting.subst...
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.

Allied Critical Metals Just Drilled One of The Highest-Grade Tungsten Hits of All Time

Link to Companion Article: https://juniorresourceinvesting.subst...
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.

"Unfinished Business": A Cosa Resources Drill Update as They Build Towards A New Uranium Discovery

Link to Companion Article:
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.
