Begins Drilling Giant Copper Project in Mexico https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/06/16/co-begins-drilling-giant-copper-project-in-mexico.html Bob Moriarty of 321gold.com explains why he likes Algo Grande Copper Corp. (ALGR:TSX.V) after it reported recent drilling at its Mexican copper project.I've never been much of a believer in AI. To me, the whole thing feels overhyped, and so far, not one of the big AI outfits is actually turning a profit on it. Its cracks are only beginning to surface. Still, all those data centers being mapped out for AI's future point to one undeniable thing: a copper shortage that keeps widening. The world needs more copper. A great deal more. Fortunately, Dr. Peter Megaw has been turning up enormous copper deposits across Northern Mexico, with Sonora alone accounting for 80% of the country's copper output. Roughly fifteen years back, I spent three days crisscrossing Northern Mexico in a truck with Peter. What I took away is that he ranks among the most knowledgeable, seasoned geologists anywhere. Not many realize it, but Peter is largely behind most of what's advanced in Mexican mining over the past three decades. He committed to Mexico back when the rest of the industry steered clear of it, put off by the country's shortsighted and damaging policies. The Adelita copper project is his pet venture. It's now wholly held by <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/11488?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Algo Grande Copper Corp. (ALGR:TSX.V)</a>,<a href="https://algo-grande.com/news/kenadyr-metals-to-become-algo-grande-copper-secures-path-to-100-ownership-of-the-adelita-project-tsxv-reactivation-3m-financing-and-board-changes" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a fledgling company </a>that only acquired Adelita about a year ago. The deal they struck was remarkable — essentially an all-stock arrangement to take 100% of the 5,985-hectare property in Southern Sonora, with only a modest cash component. Since then, Algo Grande has closed two rounds: <a href="https://algo-grande.com/news/kenadyr-metals-closes-second-tranche-of-subscription-receipt-financing-and-announces-upsize-to-3-800-000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CA$3.8 million in September </a>and another <a href="https://algo-grande.com/news/algo-grande-copper-closes-oversubscribed-6.52-million-financing-and-strengthens-board-at-agm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CA$6.52 million in late February</a>. The project also arrived with more than CA$8 million already poured into drilling and technical work by the previous owner. Over the past year, CEO Enrico Gay has built out the management roster with well-regarded, experienced copper hands. Dr. Megaw and Gord Neal have signed on, Peter as Senior Technical Advisor, and Gord as a director — the two of them founded Mag Silver. The company wrapped up its Phase I drilling and put out results from four holes <a href="https://algo-grande.com/news/algo-grande-reports-results-from-completed-phase-i-drill-program-at-cerro-grande-skarn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in early April.</a> The drilling turned up a vertically stacked, high-grade skarn system carrying copper, silver, and gold. They went in expecting two horizons, but the drilling exposed three more they hadn't anticipated. Hole AG-GC 003 returned 18.2 meters of 1.8% CuEq, including 1.2% Cu, 28.2 g/t Ag, and 0.7 g/t Au. <a href="https://algo-grande.com/news/algo-grande-copper-commences-phase-ii-drill-program-at-adelita-project" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On Friday, June 12, Algo Grande kicked off a fully funded 8,000-meter Phase II campaign</a>. The opening hole is slated for 500 meters of core drilling to push out the Cerro Grande skarn find, with later holes spread along the 2,500-meter corridor to probe<a href="https://algo-grande.com/news/algo-grande-finalizes-phase-ii-drill-targets-following-completion-of-high-definition-surveys" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> targets already pinpointed.</a> Skarns usually sit near porphyry mineralization. I'm pleased with what they've located so far, but the real prize may come if they sink a deep hole or two into what they suspect is the porphyry. I'm in love with the story. I had an hour-long call with management a couple of months ago, but held off writing anything until they'd actually launched the pivotal 8,000-meter Phase II work. Phase I offered strong hints of a sizable deposit; Phase II could outline a district-scale copper play. My sense is that most resource investors keep their eyes on gold and silver, both of which have bounced around lately, while copper has quietly climbed to the steepest price ever recorded. Copper futures alone jumped 2.74% this past Friday. It's a fine moment to be chasing a major copper project in a mining-friendly jurisdiction. As of Friday, Algo Grande carried a market cap of CA$26 million. The team pairs youthful, hard-charging management with some of the strongest technical minds around. As I see it, the only thing keeping the stock this low, given copper's price, is that hardly anyone knows the company exists. Drill results over the coming months should raise its profile and, in my view, its share price. At CA$0.62, I consider the stock remarkably underpriced. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Algo Grande Copper Corp. has a consulting relationship with Street Smart an affiliate of Streetwise Reports.

Plus, he looks at developments at some companies on his list.<div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> Gold has been soft since the Iran conflict started, not only because it had already moved up so strongly in the weeks prior, "buy on the rumor, sell on the news", but because the war sent the dollar up, while the oil price spike had central banks focusing on the inflationary impact and discussing raising rates. A strong dollar and higher rates are bearish for gold. Every time the negotiations to end the conflict seemed to be going badly, gold fell. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> Then on Friday, June 5, more strikes by both sides and (seemingly) strong U.S. economic reports sent gold down sharply. I say "seemingly" because, though certainly stronger than expectations, increased hiring by local governments and the government-dominated health care accounted for almost all new jobs created, while temporary hospitality jobs, because of the World Cup, accounted for more than the remainder of new jobs. Meanwhile. Initial jobless claims rose, while in the latest survey, small business hiring plans fell. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;">Gold Broke Through Support Level</h2> </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> Gold had been sitting on the crucial 200-day moving average but broke through Friday morning, setting off numerous stop losses. This was the first drop below the 200-day MA since 2023. Gold fell $150 to its lowest close this year, while the gold stock index GDX fell almost 9% (and over 10% for the intermediates represented in the GDXJ). </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> This came even as central bank activity for April was reported, showing a strong April, with less selling, on top of a strong first quarter (the highest quarter since the end of 2024), despite high-profile sales. In April, central banks had net buying of 17 tonnes, or nearly 600,000 ounces. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> Gold holdings in central bank reserves have now overtaken U.S. Treasuries as of the end of the year, according to the European Central Bank. Gold holdings stood at 27%, while Treasuries fell to 22%. The first was up, from 20% the year previous, the latter down from 25%. The third largest asset in central bank reserves was the Euro, at 15%, unchanged from the previous year. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> However, even as official sources were buying, retail and small institutions were selling. Using the GLD, the largest physical ETF, as a proxy, there were 763,000 ounces sold in just the last two weeks; this number does not include any selling from Friday. So, private selling is overwhelmingly central bank buying. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> This is gold, very much reacting to fundamental developments. Just 10 days ago, we had gold setting up for a strong recovery, with positioning at extreme lows for the year, as the juniors (GDXJ) outperformed the seniors (GDX). This has, in the past, set up for a multi-month if not multi-year recovery. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;">When Will Gold Recovery?</h2> </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> When the conflict ends, then the narrative will shift, we believe, as the dollar will lose its war premium, and central banks may shift their focus from the inflation effects of higher oil prices. When that will be, we do not know, but the setup for gold after it occurs is strong. At the same time, let's remember that mid-cycle corrections are the norm, as much as 45% in the middle of the bull market of the 1970s, and 34% in 2008, before a move over 180% in the next three years. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> As for the gold stocks, the valuations are now close to the long-term lows, despite strong margins and cash flows. If you are underinvested, this is a good time to buy. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;">New Spin-Out Report for Barrick</h2> </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> Barrick Mining Corp. (ABX:TSX; B:NYSE) is evaluating a plan to merge its African assets with Endeavour Mining Corp. (EDV:TSX; EVR:ASX) and list on the London exchange, according to a Reuters article based on "unnamed sources". At the same time, the company would IPO a small part of its North American assets on the NYSE. Under this plan, Barrick would retain its main Toronto listing holding shares in both the African and North American units. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> What would happen to the copper mines under this plan is unclear. Lumwana in Zambia alone represents 15% of Barrick's NAV as well as strong near-term growth potential. We note that Reuters previously reported that Barrick would spin off its African assets last November. Barrick had previously listed some African operations as African Barrick in 2010, which it subsequently re-acquired. These plans still leave the massive Reko Diq in Pakistan, as well as several smaller assets from Argentina to Papua New Guinea. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> There have been many rumors or media reports about possible Barrick plans. It seems likely that these are leaks from inside the company intended as trial balloons to test the market reaction. However, too many conflicting trial balloons can fail to have any impact after a while, while leaving the impression that the company does not know what it wants to do. Hold. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;">Strong Earnings From Orogen, as It Continues to Execute</h2> </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> Orogen Royalties Inc. (OGN:TSXV; OGNNF:OTC) reported record revenue for its first-quarter, with revenue from its Ermitaño royalty of $3.4 million, up from $2.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Revenue from its prospect generation activities at $1 million was double the year-ago figure. At the same time, G&A expenses were down 35% from last year, when heavy M&A expenses were incurred. The company ended the quarter with a solid working capital position of $30 million. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;">Reduced GEOs Ahead but Solid Balance Sheet</h2> </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> GEOs received from the Ermitaño royalty, though higher than a year ago, were down 5% from the previous quarter; higher prices led to the record revenue. Looking ahead, the Ermitaño royalty may see a period of lower realized ounces before ramping up again with adjacent deposits. We expect the prospect generation business to remain volatile but strong, while G&A will continue to show declines from last year. With a rock-solid balance sheet, Orogen can withstand a period of lower royalty ounces. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> Separately, Orogen continues its string of PG activity, when it and partner Altius Minerals Corp. (ALS:TSX) agreed to option 100% of its undrilled Table Mountain Project in Nevada to Toogood Gold Corp. (TGC:TSVX; TGGCF:OTCQB). Orogen will receive shares and a royalty with phased work commitments. At today's price, Orogen is a Strong Buy. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;">Research Report Puts 2X Target on Lara</h2> </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> Lara Exploration Ltd.'s (LRA:TSX.V) Planalto project copper project in Brazil "will be a mine", according to a new report from SCP Equity Research. The report gives Lara a price target of $7.25, still only 50% of the report's NAV estimate. Buy. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;">Vote Fox Proxy</h2> </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> Fox River Resources Corp. (FOX:CSE) has issued its proxy materials for shareholders to vote on the proposed acquisition by a unit of Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM:TSX; AEM:NYSE), in an all-cash transaction of $1.10. A special meeting will be held on June 23, though brokerage firms require votes to be cast prior to that, as much as a week earlier. We urge you to vote in favor of the acquisition. If you have not received a proxy, contact your broker to vote. Hold. </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> TOP BUYS this week, in addition to the above, include Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM:TSX; AEM:NYSE), Franco-Nevada Corp. (FNV:TSX; FNV:NYSE), OR Royalties (OR:TSX; OR:NYSE), Fortuna Mining Corp. (FSM:NYSE; FVI:TSX; FVI:BVL; F4S:FSE), and Midland Exploration Inc. (MD:TSX.V). </div> <div class="_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30"> With gold's sharp fall on Friday, it is a good time for those underinvested in gold stocks to pick up some of the best; hence, we have several gold stocks in our "top buys" above. As discussed, however, sharp drops in markets rarely reverse immediately, so you can be patient in adding to positions. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a> </div>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>As of the date of this article, officers and/or employees of Streetwise Reports LLC (including members of their household) own securities of Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd., Orogen Royalties Inc., Lara Exploration Ltd., Fox Riv Res Corp., Altius Minerals Corp., Franco-Nevada Corp., Or Royalties Inc., Fortuna Mining Corp., and Midland Exploration Inc.</li> <li>Adrian Day: I, or members of my immediate household or family, own securities of: All.

(FTZ:TSX.V; FTZFF:OTCQB) reported high-grade channel sampling results and ongoing drilling at the Buen Retiro Copper Project near Copiap, Chile.Fitzroy Minerals Inc. (FTZ:TSX.V; FTZFF:OTCQB) provided <a href="https://fitzroyminerals.com/news-releases/fitzroy-minerals-reports-channel-samples-averaging-2.96-cu-from-buen-retiro-historical-open-pit-drilling-continues-to-return/">an exploration update from its 100%-owned Buen Retiro Copper Project near Copiapó, Chile, reporting channel sampling results from the historical Buen Retiro open pit and an update on drilling, metallurgical testing, and project development activities.</a> The company reported that 21 one-meter channel samples collected from locations throughout the historical open pit returned an average grade of 2.96% copper, with a maximum result of 10.68% copper. According to the company, 17 of the 21 samples returned grades above 1.0% copper, and four samples exceeded 5.0% copper. In addition to the channel sampling program, Fitzroy reviewed historical drill data compiled by Pucobre S.A. and Ptolemy Mining Ltd. The company noted that historical drill hole BRT-DDH-013 intersected 7 meters grading 2.78% copper from 130 meters and 30 meters grading 3.52% copper from 141 meters downhole. The intervals are located approximately 30 to 55 meters below the current open pit floor. <a href="https://fitzroyminerals.com/news-releases/fitzroy-minerals-reports-channel-samples-averaging-2.96-cu-from-buen-retiro-historical-open-pit-drilling-continues-to-return/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Merlin Marr-Johnson, President and CEO of Fitzroy, stated in the news release</a>, "Channel sample results averaging around 3.0% Cu and historical drill results of 30 meters at 3.52% Cu showcase the type of copper mineralization that Fitzroy is targeting in the Pit Area." The company said drilling continues to intersect oxide and mixed oxide-sulphide copper mineralization. Three diamond drill rigs are currently operating at the project, with a reverse circulation rig scheduled to be added the following week. Fitzroy reported that diamond drill hole BRT-DDH099, located 70 meters south of the historical open pit, intersected 113 meters of tenorite mineralization from 3.5 meters downhole. The intercept has been submitted directly for over-limit analysis because the company estimates the interval averages approximately 1.0% copper and may exceed regular exploration assay limits. The company stated that 10,048 meters have been drilled at Buen Retiro during 2026. The original 7,000-meter drilling program was expanded to 10,000 meters after continued intersections of shallow mineralized material. An additional 5,000-meter drilling program focused on oxide and mixed mineralization within the historical pit area is underway. Fitzroy also reported ongoing delays in assay turnaround times at ALS Global due to laboratory congestion and disruptions affecting shipments between Chile and Peru. To address the delays, samples from pit area drilling are being sent to SGS Laboratories in Santiago, Chile. Metallurgical test work remains in progress. The company stated that mini-column test results are expected in July, while one-meter and three-meter column test work results are expected during the fourth quarter of 2026. The Fleet Space Technologies Ambient Noise Tomography passive seismic infill survey was completed in May, and the company said the results will be incorporated into ongoing work programs. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Copper Sector Commentary Points to Tight Supply Conditions</h2> <a href="https://www.bnamericas.com/en/features/race-for-copper-drives-projects-in-latin-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to Mining & Metals coverage from BNamericas on June 11</a>, Latin American mining activity continued to include investment, policy, and transaction developments across several commodities. The publication referenced "merger and acquisition transactions that are heating up mining in Latin America" and stated that "rare earths, copper, lithium, and iron ore" were among the commodities driving activity in the region. BNamericas also referenced "Mining Capex Growth Accelerates in 2026" and reported on new investment incentive measures in Argentina, including secondary legislation tied to the Rimi investment incentive regime and the addition of two mining projects to the RIGI for US$2.132 billion. According to a June 15 market update from Couloir Capital, copper declined 0.9% during the week as stronger U.S. payroll data, rising Treasury yields, and concerns about tighter monetary policy weighed on industrial commodities. The report stated that "the macro headwinds overshadowed constructive supply-demand fundamentals." The same update noted that several base metals faced pressure despite supply-related challenges. Couloir Capital wrote that zinc declined "despite tightening market conditions, including supply disruptions at major smelters, a narrowing global surplus, and expectations for a refined zinc deficit this year." <a href="https://investinglive.com/commodities/the-copper-market-is-tighter-than-you-think-scotia-20260615/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A June 16 report from Scotiabank's metals team described copper market fundamentals as tighter than many market participants had anticipated.</a> According to the report, copper had "entered into a material multi-year net deficit position," while the supply side faced challenges because of the long timelines required to bring new mines into production. Scotiabank increased its copper price forecasts and stated that "market conditions are ripe for a potential near-term upside price squeeze towards US$7.00/lb." The report also noted that global copper demand rose 3.7% last year, while China's copper demand increased 4.6% despite a weaker economic backdrop. On the supply side, Scotiabank highlighted declining production growth and reduced industry investment. The report stated that Chile, the world's largest copper-producing nation, generated 5.42 million tonnes in 2025, down from a peak of 5.83 million tonnes in 2018. It also noted that planned growth capital expenditures of US$7.4 billion annually between 2026 and 2028 represented a 49% decline from the US$14.7 billion spent annually during the prior three-year period. Looking at longer-term supply trends, Scotiabank wrote that it expected "very modest net supply growth" despite several large-scale mine developments moving through the pipeline. The report attributed this to declining grades and depletion at existing operations. Scotiabank also identified several sources of future copper demand, including data center construction, defense spending, and rising global electricity consumption. The report stated that global copper demand has averaged 2.9% annual growth since 1960 and estimated that demand growth of approximately 1.9% annually would be required to keep the copper market balanced during the 2026-2028 period. <div class="qMYqUG_convSearchResultHighlightRoot"> <div class="" data-turn-id-container="request-WEB:7e4b7ff4-4000-4acb-bbba-3bf1635cc290-52" data-is-intersecting="true"> <section class="text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [&:has([data-writing-block])>*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" data-turn-id="request-WEB:7e4b7ff4-4000-4acb-bbba-3bf1635cc290-52" data-turn-id-container="request-WEB:7e4b7ff4-4000-4acb-bbba-3bf1635cc290-52" data-testid="conversation-turn-16" data-scroll-anchor="false" data-turn="assistant"> <div class="text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)"> <div class="[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn" data-conversation-screenshot-content=""> <div class="z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start"> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Third-Party Commentary Focuses on Exploration Activity</h2> <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/05/04/the-bubble-is-back.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a May 4 commentary, Michael Ballanger of GGM Advisory Inc. wrote that he continued to view the copper market positively,</a> stating, "I see no evidence of any disruption in the copper bull whatsoever, and continue to accumulate copper juniors with advanced exploration projects and established resources." He also noted that copper had "been grinding higher since it put in its low around CA$5.23 back in early February." Ballanger discussed exploration activity at Fitzroy Minerals' Caballos project, referencing a 5-kilometer-wide anomaly identified through a helicopter-borne MobileMT airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey. He wrote that an upcoming deep induced polarization survey was expected to determine whether the anomaly exhibited chargeability, which he described as a characteristic associated with sulphide-bearing porphyry copper systems. Quoting an email alert regarding the survey process, Ballanger wrote, "I realize that this is a lot of information to absorb, especially for subscribers that are relatively new to the world of mineral exploration, but this IP survey will almost completely rule out other 'chargeable' materials, leaving the most likely material as 'sulphides'." He added, "Given that Fitzroy has already identified copper-moly-gold sulphides on the fringes of the system, the odds are that any big chargeability anomaly will have Cu-Mo-Au in the sulphides mix." Ballanger further stated, "The IP survey will increase our odds of discovery, which is why I am telling you." <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/05/15/athenian-foreboding.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a May 15 market update, Ballanger wrote that copper "remains the standout performer in the metals for the past few weeks" </a>and noted that July copper had "eked out a modest 0.62% gain after hitting an all-time high at US$6.716/lb. on Wednesday." According to Ballanger, copper's recent performance reflected both supply and demand factors. He wrote that severe supply constraints and speculative demand tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure had supported the market. Ballanger also cited disruptions in sulfuric acid supply, lower smelter processing fees, and production reductions, while pointing to demand from data center construction, electrification initiatives, and exports of copper-intensive clean technology products from China. Ballanger also wrote that copper prices had "shrugged off" uncertainty related to tensions between Iran and the United States, adding that investors had shifted capital toward physical assets such as copper. He later stated, "The move to record highs in copper is a premonition of better days ahead for the red metal and all of the major producers and junior developers as well." The commentary also referenced recent drilling results at Buen Retiro, including drill hole BRT-DDH059, which returned 78.0 meters grading 1.70% copper from 58.0 meters, including 40.0 meters grading 3.02% copper from 92.0 meters. Ballanger noted that the company's share price rose following the results and wrote that, "For a junior explorer, that is an exceptionally strong weekly performance and indicates the market is assigning increasing value to the Buen Retiro discovery." <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/06/01/artificial-exuberance.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On June 1, Ballanger discussed broader market conditions, </a>the role of artificial intelligence-related investment activity, and implications for commodity markets, including copper. Ballanger wrote that copper was up 10.46% year to date and argued that commodities could benefit from long-term monetary and fiscal trends. Within that discussion, Ballanger highlighted Fitzroy Minerals and its Buen Retiro project in Chile. He noted that the company announced on April 23 that it had signed a Letter of Intent with Chilean mining company Pucobre S.A. regarding Pucobre's intention to exercise its 30% clawback provision. Ballanger quoted Fitzroy CEO Merlin Marr-Johnson, who stated: "The joint Letter of Intent is a major validation of the Buen Retiro Heap Leach project and is a win for both parties. Pucobre benefits by potentially securing production from the Buen Retiro Heap Leach to fill spare capacity at Planta Biocobre for many years, and thereby significantly improve operational economics by spreading fixed costs across more production units." Ballanger wrote that Fitzroy's management has an economically viable oxide copper resource in Chile and said the company has emphasized that it is "explorers first and foremost." He noted that the company continues to pursue exploration opportunities at both Buen Retiro and Caballos in addition to the oxide material at Buen Retiro. Discussing the agreement with Pucobre, Ballanger wrote that Fitzroy's management recognizes Pucobre's experience operating heap-leach oxide copper deposits in Chile and described the Letter of Intent as providing a clear path forward for the Buen Retiro Heap Leach project. Ballanger also commented on seasonal trading patterns in the junior mining sector, writing that the market typically experiences summer slowdowns. He encouraged investors to monitor drilling progress and stated that individual companies could still generate significant interest through major drill results. The commentary concluded with Ballanger expressing optimism for the second half of 2026, while continuing to monitor exploration and development activity across the junior mining sector. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Development Studies and Permitting Activities Advance at Buen Retiro</h2> <a href="https://fitzroyminerals.com/site/assets/files/5967/260515_ftz_may_final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fitzroy stated that drilling continues to support resource definition work and the Heap Leach Development Plan at Buen Retiro</a>. The company said a reverse circulation rig will be added to the project, bringing the total number of active rigs to four. The company plans to apply a data cut-off to resource drilling at the end of July. According to Fitzroy, this will allow time for assaying, modeling, integration of metallurgical results, and inclusion of data in a Project Development Plan. The company stated that the Project Development Plan will provide the basis for an Environmental Permit Application scheduled for October 2026. Metallurgical test work is underway. Fitzroy reported that initial mini-column results are expected in July and will be incorporated into the Project Development Plan. One-meter and three-meter column test work results are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 and are planned for inclusion in the Pre-Feasibility Study. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-10000] The company stated that the Pre-Feasibility Study remains on track for completion during the first quarter of 2027. Fitzroy also reported that the Ambient Noise Tomography passive seismic infill survey completed in May identified zones of elevated fracturing and host-rock alteration. The company stated that these results will be integrated into its ongoing work and news-flow program. In April, Fitzroy signed a Letter of Intent with Pucobre S.A. The company said engineering and commercial work related to the Heap Leach Development Plan continues, with data being shared between the parties through a two-way process. The company reported that assay results from current drilling are expected to be published in late June. Fitzroy also stated that its regular mid-month reporting schedule is expected to resume beginning in July. <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-start="4772" data-end="4935">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> Fitzroy Minerals Inc. has a market cap of CA$152.46 million, with 327.87 million shares outstanding.

(AGA:TSX.V; AAGAF:OTCQB) announced <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!AGA-3831854/C/AGA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the commencement of its fully funded 10,000-meter summer drill campaign</a> at the Red Mountain project in Alaska. The company believes that this project contains high-grade silver and critical minerals and will focus on the Dry Creek deposit, expanding on an inferred 168.7-million-ounce AgEq (silver equivalent) resource. One drill rig is already operating at Red Mountain, with all three planned rigs expected to be active by the end of June 2026. This program will test ". . . numerous largely undrilled polymetallic massive sulfide occurrences across the 60-kilometer prospective trend, where expert multifaceted data analysis indicates the highest degree of prospectivity," according to the press release. Silver47 listed <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!AGA-3831854/C/AGA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">program objectives</a> as follows: <ul> <li>Further delineation and expansion of the Dry Creek deposit (inferred mineral resource of 11.6 million tonnes at 279.4 g/t AgEq, totaling 104.0 million silver equivalent ounces, Table 1) through a series of infill and stepout holes down dip, approximately 3,000 meters, designed to investigate the orientation and structural controls on higher-grade VMS mineralization (for example, 22.3 m at 601 g/t AgEq (150.6 g/t Ag, 0.82 g/t Au, 5.86% Zn (zinc), 2.60% Pb (lead), 0.13% Cu (copper)) in DC24-105). Drilling will also evaluate the down-dip and strike extents of these higher-grade zones where mineralization remains open.</li> <li>New discovery by evaluating the high-grade mineralization potential of numerous VMS targets identified across the Dry Creek Syncline and Last Chance corridor. Of the known exploration targets, only 11 have been drill tested, five of those with less than three holes each. Based on these limited historical drill data together with results from recent project-wide geochemical sampling (rocks, soil, and talus-fines), numerous high-priority targets have been identified (for example, Sheep Creek, Hunter, Glacier, FOMO, and WTF E).</li> <li>Target refinement and new target identification through project-wide exploration activities, including geological mapping, grid-based soil geochemical surveys, and project-wide heli-borne hyperspectral surveying.</li> </ul> Galen McNamara, CEO of Silver47, said in the release: "With three rigs and 10,000 meters of drilling planned, this marks the largest exploration program ever undertaken at Red Mountain. The program is designed to both expand the existing resource and systematically evaluate several high-priority targets that have seen limited or no previous drilling. Red Mountain continues to demonstrate the characteristics of a large-scale, silver-rich mineralizing system, and we believe this campaign has the potential to significantly enhance the project's value through resource growth and the discovery of additional massive sulphide mineralization along the 60-kilometer prospective trend." Silver47 is a Canadian exploration company focused on developing silver-rich projects in Alaska, Nevada, and New Mexico, U.S. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industrial Demand Makes Silver Indispensable</h2> The metals sector has been on a rollercoaster of ups and downs since the beginning of the U.S.-Iran War. Gold, silver, and other precious metals have been rising on the tides of good news and falling on the tides of bad news. Still, peace talks between the U.S. and Iran are currently going smoothly, with a temporary ceasefire announced on June 14, 2026. Silver was up 2.09% at <a href="https://www.kitco.com/charts/silver" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$70.04 per ounce</a> at the time of this writing on June 15, 2026. With its industrial usage, silver is more than a speculative buy, even with its vulnerability. Higher demand from electric cars, solar panels, data centers, and more is shoring up silver's future demand. <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/silver-price-predictions-what-should-investors-expect-over-the-next-decade-130000645.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yahoo Finance</a> quoted experts from both BlackRock and J.P. Morgan as saying, " By the end of 2026, experts predict silver's price will surpass US$80 per ounce, and it could reach US$100 per ounce by 2030." Despite the volatility of silver, the sector as a whole is only showing signs of improvement. On May 7, 2026, <a href="https://www.recyclingtoday.com/news/world-bank-base-precious-metals-price-increases-2026-forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Taylor of Recycling Today said</a> that the World Bank Group has predicted that overall global metals prices will rise by 17% in 2026, which would mark the first overall market increase since 2022. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Expert Expects Investors to See "Unrealized Potential" </h2> <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/silver-advisor/newsletters/silver47-9/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Editor of The Gold Advisor, Peter Krauth, covered Silver47</a> in a June 12, 2026, opinion piece. Krauth wrote, "This campaign could significantly grow the Red Mountain resource. In addition, it could also lead to the discovery of more massive sulphide mineralization along the 60km prospective trend, creating further shareholder value." [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11074] Krauth noted he was glad to own shares and views the stock as undervalued, offering significant upside potential. He wrote: "Silver47 shares are flat on this news, while silver has given back 1%. This outperformance suggests to us that the market is beginning to grasp the unrealized potential to unlock value with this drill program. In addition, the company is fully funded with approximately CA$48 million in working capital, supporting the execution of the entire exploration campaign. The project is positioned as a potential strategic U.S. source of both silver and critical minerals, commodities that remain in strong demand." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Catalyst-Rich 2026 Ahead</h2> In its <a href="https://silver-47.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Silver47_Corporate-Presentation-2026-06-08.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investor presentation</a>, Silver47 lists 2026 catalysts as follows: <ul> <li>Drill campaigns at the Red Mountain, Hughes, and Mogollon projects</li> <li>An anticipated updated resource estimate for Red Mountain in Q3 2026</li> <li>Ongoing review of accretive M&A opportunities with a goal towards 1 billion ounces AgEq</li> </ul> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership & Share Information1</h2> Silver47 Exploration Corp. has a market cap of CA$127.28 million, with 208.66 million shares outstanding.

Recent data shows increased loan demand across U.S. locations, highlighting how certain households turn to quick liquidity options when everyday expenses rise. <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/jamie-dimon-warns-markets-too-105500576.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On May 1, 2026. Moneywise writer Victoria Vesovski echoed this sentiment</a> by noting that pawn operations often capture economic shifts ahead of traditional market indicators. <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/billconerly/2026/05/28/consumer-sentiment-hits-record-low-economy-stays-solid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a recent article</a>, consumer sentiment surveys have reached historic lows, underscoring broader financial caution among households. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Market Growth Opportunity in Pawn Retail</h2> The overall pawn shop market presents a measurable expansion path. <a href="https://www.marketreportsworld.com/market-reports/pawn-shop-market-14715779" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a Market Report overview</a>, the sector stood at US$39,524.25 million in 2024 with projections reaching US$59,486.89 million by 2033 at a 4.7% compound annual growth rate. This trajectory stems from steady demand for short-term lending and resale of pre-owned goods, offering retail investors exposure to a resilient niche within consumer finance. Industry veteran Rick Harrison, owner of the <a href="https://gspawn.com/pages/meet-the-stars?srsltid=AfmBOopj0KbOJGfqIaDSO1m1gzYv3Hf5OOlTaXpung9NgRfKbgjb8U2N" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada</a>, has long described pawn shops as early indicators of economic health.

In his latest update, Hansen highlighted that despite this recent dip, gold's performance remains robust over the longer term, with a 5% increase so far in 2026, a 36% rise over the past year, and a 91% surge over the last two years. The conflict in Iran, particularly the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, has been a significant factor influencing gold prices. Hansen explained that rather than triggering a classic flight to safety, higher energy prices have fueled inflation concerns, pushed bond yields higher, strengthened the U.S. dollar, and reduced expectations for additional Federal Reserve rate cuts. Support from central banks has provided a counterbalance, with net purchases totaling 244 tonnes through the first quarter of 2026, marking a 3% increase year-on-year, according to the World Gold Council as of April 29, <a href="https://capital.com/en-int/market-updates/gold-price-forecast-19-05-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by David Mitchell for Capital.com on May 19</a>. Recent perspectives on gold's future and institutional buying are markedly divergent, <a href="https://goldsilver.com/industry-news/goldsilver-news/gold-targets-are-falling-the-8000-forecast-isnt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a piece published by GoldSilver on May 29 noted</a>. While major financial institutions like UBS, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan have reduced their near-term gold price targets, central banks have robustly increased their holdings. Deutsche Bank maintains a long-term bullish stance, predicting gold prices will reach US$8,000 per ounce by 2031. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Offshore Mineral Recovery Emerges as a Distinct Sector Opportunity</h2> By contrast, deep-sea mining is the process of extracting minerals from the seabed, often at depths of over 1,000 meters, <a href="https://www.ocnamibia.org/deep-sea-mining?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22985177197&gbraid=0AAAAA9UZ0YQ1nhsXX_yY4vq2KPt-aW_KJ&gclid=Cj0KCQjwz9_QBhD_ARIsADnSCfB3sXWOlDP6lU5iAiztCGROEPPRUMybuDurpgiYsyDoSN99fkeK0N8aAvDpEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Ocean Conservation Namibia</a>. Minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements are essential ingredients in everything from wind turbines and electric vehicles to cell phones, medical technologies, and military infrastructure, <a href="https://www.wri.org/insights/deep-sea-mining-explained" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by Oliver Ashford, Jonathan Baines, Melissa Barbanell, and Ke Wang for the World Resources Institute</a>. Currently, no country has a fully operational commercial deep-sea mining operation, but exploration licenses have been issued around the world. <h2 style="text-align: center;">GoldCoast Resource Stands Out With a Shallow-Water First-Mover Advantage</h2> Toronto-based GoldCoast Resource Corp. is a mineral exploration company pursuing what it describes as a first-mover opportunity to develop one of the last unexplored gold frontiers in the world, through its 100% control of a ~10,000 km2 Reconnaissance License, situated on Ghana's shallow continental shelf. The company's sole project covers approximately 300 kilometers of Ghana's western coastline and extends about 33 kilometers offshore across the shallow continental shelf. It is the only place on Earth where three major rivers carrying gold-rich bedload eroded from world-class gold belts (Ashanti, Sefwi-Bibiani & Asankrangwa) over interglacial periods converge on a shallow continental shelf, according to its investor presentation. Over the last 2.5 million years, which includes 17 interglacial cycles, roughly 400-600 vertical meters of oxidized gold-bearing bedrock in southwest Ghana has been eroded and deposited on Ghana's shallow continental shelf. Robert J. Griffis, PhD, GoldCoast Founder & Senior Vice President of Exploration and author of "The Gold Deposits of Ghana," estimates the amount of gold that has been weathered away from the (SW) Ghana gold districts & carried to the Ocean by major rivers would suggest eroded inventory is likely in the order of ~200 million oz. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Unique Business Model Leverages Proven Shallow Dredge Technology</h2> GoldCoast will run a shallow-water dredge operation that involves no deep-sea mining. The intended operating depth is 25-125 meters, and the company expects mineralization to be concentrated within the first 2-3 meters below the seafloor. The operation would be 100% gravity-based, with no blasting, cyanide, leaching, tailings dams, or onshore plant infrastructure. GoldCoast is not inventing a new category. The technology and operating models for offshore mineral recovery have been established for decades. Strong industry precedents include Debmarine Namibia's +20 years of offshore diamond mining, the UK Crown Estate's +50 years of marine aggregate dredging, and Indonesia's PT Timah with +100 years of offshore tin mining, all of which were formed by glaciation and high-energy river systems. But in addition to being found in the first several meters of shallow offshore claims, GoldCoast said the placer gold has already been liberated or eroded from its host rock, enabling the use of basic suction dredges. "We are not inventing a wheel here," Nikiforuk told Streetwise Reports. "We're utilizing off-the-shelf technology proven over decades and decades and decades as this industry has evolved." The offshore gold has been "liberated" and is "free gold," he said. "We are not drilling through hundreds and hundreds of meters of depth into this competent or hard host rock to determine the dimensions of our ore body," Nikiforuk said. "We do not have to pour concrete and put up steel and drive our resources through a definitive feasibility study . . . We're going to rent an existing dredge. That's how we initiate production." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Contrasting GoldCoast With Deep-Sea Peers Like The Metals Co.</h2> One of the closer comparisons could be Deep-sea explorer The Metals Co. (TMC:NASDAQ), which is focused on extracting critical metals from seafloor polymetallic nodules for the energy, defense, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11332] The company said it is also focused on establishing a sustainable cycle for the metals they harvest by tracing, recovering, and recycling them, thereby fostering a perpetual metal commons. <a href="https://investors.metals.co/news-releases/news-release-details/noaa-certifies-tmc-usas-usa-b-exploration-license-application" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On May 28, the Vancouver-based company announced</a> that it had received formal certification from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for its USA B exploration license application. This application covers approximately 122,000 km of seafloor, which is estimated to contain 1.02 billion tonnes of polymetallic nodules, according to TMC's Technical Report Summary published in August 2025. In an updated research note for Cantor Fitzgerald on May 28, Analyst Matthew O'Keefe called the certification news "positive." On May 15, Alliance Global Partners Analyst Jake Sekelsky maintained his firm's Buy rating with a US$12.25 per share target, a 115% increase from the time of writing. 1About 14% of the company is owned by insiders and management, about 32% by strategic corporate entities, and about 14% by institutions. The rest is retail. Its market cap is US$2.81 billion with 433.22 million shares outstanding. It trades in a 52-week range of US$3.93 and US$11.35. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Exploration Milestones and Leadership Strengthen GoldCoast's Position</h2> Exploration work is already underway across a four-phase sequential program. Phase I data acquisition, generated by an airborne magnetic survey, is nearly complete. As of June 10, GoldCoast had flown 36,014 line kms covering 89.97% of the entire Area of Interest (AOI), utilizing high-sensitivity magnetometers being flown at 50M altitude. Phase II (seaborne mapping) will deploy multibeam sonar, seismic profiling (capable of imaging up to 150 meters below the ocean floor), and marine magnetometer arrays to generate a 3D model of the site. Phase III (seafloor sampling) will use vibro core drilling and clam-shell grab sampling to physically verify mineralization at targets prioritized from Phases I and II. According to the company, a 2010 sampling program (by Marine Mining Corp.) near the Ankobra River mouth returned 30 samples averaging 0.44 g/m (cubic meters) of gold, well above the company's projected US$3,000/oz cutoff of 0.08 g/m. In a separate 2026 preliminary coastal random sampling program around the Ezile River (situated 35 km east of the Ankobra River), 5-liter beach sand samples have yielded up to 13 visible gold grains per sample, with multiple gold-bearing samples now identified at sites 50 kilometers apart along the coast. "Ghana is the only place on planet Earth where you have three major gold belts sitting right on the coastline, cut, drained, and banded by three major river systems and their tributaries," Nikiforuk said. The company's leadership and technical team features Founder and Chairman Sir Sam Jonah, who was the former CEO of Ashanti Goldfields and former Executive President of AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (AU:NYSE; ANG:JSE; AGG:ASX; AGD:LSE) — then the second largest gold producer in the world — arguably the most prominent figure in African gold mining over the past three decades, according to GoldCoast. CEO Nikiforuk founded African Gold Group and has secured license blocks across Ghana, Mali, Liberia, and Ethiopia. Dr. R. J. Griffis, a +40-year resident of Ghana, has accumulated that many years of exploration experience throughout West Africa and authorship of the foundational 438-page "Gold Deposits of Ghana" textbook — considered mandatory industry reading by regional players. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Clear Timeline to CSE Listing and Production Sets GoldCoast Apart</h2> GoldCoast has outlined an ambitious 24-month work program for the years 2026-2027, with a budget of US$8.65 million. The company has set significant near-term milestones to guide its progress, including completing the airborne survey over 100% of the Area of Interest (AOI) and executing the Phase II seaborne mapping program. The private company said it is targeting a public listing prior to the end of June under the ticker (CSE:GCR), following an amalgamation with PSYG. The company also aims to fine-tune its pre-production processes through 2027, which includes conducting pilot testing at an estimated cost of around US$270,000 per quarter. Furthermore, initial near-shore contract dredging is targeted for 2028. This timeline is particularly notable as it contrasts sharply with the typical 10-15 years required to advance a greenfield terrestrial gold project to the stage of first production. GoldCoast is currently private but has signed a definitive amalgamation agreement with a Canadian Securities Exchange-listed shell vehicle (PSYG:CSE) and expects to begin trading on the CSE under the ticker GCR in Q2 2026. To date, GoldCoast noted in its investor presentation that it has raised approximately CA$10.6 million. Retail investors seeking exposure to emerging gold opportunities may find GoldCoast Resource's combination of scale, location, and accelerated timeline worthy of further due diligence as the company approaches its public market entry. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li> GoldCoast Resources Corp. is a billboard sponsor of Streetwise Reports and pays SWR a monthly sponsorship fee between US$3,000 and US$6,000.</li> <li>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li>As of the date of this article, officers and/or employees of Streetwise Reports LLC (including members of their household) own securities of GoldCoast Resources Corp.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

Recent price action around the US$70 per ounce level reflects both short-term volatility and longer-term structural support tied to industrial demand and monetary factors. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Silver Price Action Creates Timely Context for Exploration Companies</h2> Silver futures opened the week at US$68.90 per ounce, up 1.4 percent from the prior close, before reaching US$70.75 intraday, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/silver-prices-today-monday-june-112535248.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported Tim Manni on June 15 for Yahoo! Finance</a>. Over the past twelve months, the metal has posted a 90.3 percent gain, underscoring the sector's strength even after a 14.5 percent pullback from one month earlier. Technical charts show the metal attempting to break a descending wedge pattern, with resistance near the 50-day exponential moving average at US$74.55. A sustained move above that level could open a path toward the March high of US$90.03, while nearby support rests at the nine-day exponential moving average around US$69.16. Geopolitical developments have added another layer of support. A newly announced ceasefire between the United States and Iran has eased near-term inflation concerns and lowered oil prices, improving the backdrop for non-yielding assets such as silver. With the Federal Reserve widely expected to hold rates steady, the environment favors continued interest in precious metals from both industrial users and portfolio allocators. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Pacifica Silver Corp. Stands Out in the Current Environment</h2> Pacifica Silver Corp. (PSIL:CSE; PAGFF:OTCQB) offers direct exposure to an underexplored silver-gold district in Mexico at a time when investors seek companies delivering consistent exploration success. The company controls 100 percent of the Claudia project in Durango State's historic El Papanton Mining District, a land package containing more than 30 kilometers of known veins. Only about 10 percent of that vein strike has seen any drilling to date, leaving substantial room for additional discoveries. The fully funded Phase II diamond drilling program began in mid-January 2026 and remains on schedule for completion during the third quarter. As of June 10, crews had completed 12,750 meters across 54 holes. To maintain safety and efficiency during the dry season, the company reduced its rig count from three to two while preserving strong progress on priority targets. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Assets and Recent Catalysts at the Claudia Project</h2> Phase II drilling has focused on the Aguilarea-Tres Reyes vein system and the newly discovered Justina vein. Results released <a href="https://www.pacificasilver.com/index.php/news/2026-news/pacifica-silver-reports-strong-gold-silver-intercepts-at-cla2026-06-15-004510" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a June 11 release</a> confirm both down-dip and along-strike expansion. Mineralization at Aguilarea-Tres Reyes now extends 50 to 100 meters below prior intercepts across a one-kilometer strike length, while the Justina vein has been traced for 600 meters. Combined, the two structures demonstrate 2.5 kilometers of high-grade continuity. Chief Executive Officer Todd Anthony highlighted the significance of the new data: "These latest drill results represent another strong step forward at the Claudia project and highlight significant new mineralization expansion potential in the southern portion of the project. We have now extended the high-grade Justina vein discovery over 600 meters of strike; delivered some of the widest mineralized intervals seen to date on the Aguilarea-Tres Reyes area, including numerous multi-meter zones carrying strong gold and silver values; and discovered new hanging-wall vein systems that were not previously recognized." Drill intercepts from the latest batch include 2.85 meters grading 2.30 grams per tonne gold and 207 grams per tonne silver (405 grams per tonne silver equivalent) in hole 26CLAU095D, and 8.90 meters grading 0.94 grams per tonne gold and 101 grams per tonne silver (182 grams per tonne silver equivalent) in hole 26CLAU107D. At the Justina vein, hole 26CLAU101D returned 1.45 meters at 1.90 grams per tonne gold and 120 grams per tonne silver (283 grams per tonne silver equivalent). All widths are down-hole intervals; true widths are estimated to be 70 to 90 percent of reported lengths. Silver equivalent values combine gold and silver using standard industry ratios that account for recovery and payability. Exploratory holes in the Contraria zone encountered a new style of base-metal mineralization containing notable zinc and lead values, suggesting the project may host multiple mineralizing systems. This opens additional exploration avenues beyond the primary silver-gold veins. <h2 style="text-align: center;">First-Ever Geophysical Survey Identifies New Drill Targets</h2> In parallel with drilling, Pacifica completed a 31.6 line-kilometer induced polarization and resistivity survey, the first such program ever conducted on the property. Conducted by Zonge International, the survey consisted of 10 lines designed to map vein extensions and locate buried targets. A prominent chargeability anomaly in the southern portion of the claim block is now being evaluated for immediate drill testing, adding another catalyst layer for the second half of 2026. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11447] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Views Reinforce Project Scale and Continuity</h2> <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/silver-advisor/newsletters/pacifica-silver-capitan-silver-esgold/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Butler, senior analyst for The Silver Advisor, reported on June 11</a> that the latest results represent "a mega-batch" of assays. Butler noted the confirmation of two high-grade vein systems spanning more than 2.5 kilometers, the new base-metal discovery, and a drill-ready geophysical anomaly. He also referenced earlier Phase II intercepts, such as 0.35 meters at 1,258 grams per tonne silver equivalent and 1.50 meters at 896 grams per tonne silver equivalent. Butler maintained an overweight position in the stock, observing that shares rose 5 percent on the news even as silver prices declined 2 percent on the same day. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure and Market Valuation Snapshot</h2> Pacifica Silver Corp. carries a market capitalization of CA$68.46 million based on 60.59 million shares outstanding. The 52-week trading range spans CA$0.35 to CA$2.48. 1Institutional investors hold 16 percent of the shares, management and insiders own 11 percent, and strategic investors account for 17 percent, leaving the balance in retail hands. With only a small fraction of the property's vein systems tested and multiple expansion fronts still open, the current valuation provides retail investors with leveraged exposure to continued drilling success and broader silver price strength. The combination of tangible drill results, a new geophysical target, and favorable sector tailwinds positions the company for additional news flow through the remainder of 2026. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

(PSIL:CSE; PAGFF:OTCQB) announces more assay results from its ongoing drilling campaign at its Claudia Silver-Gold Project in Durango State. Find out why two experts like the stock.Pacifica Silver Corp. (PSIL:CSE; PAGFF:OTCQB) announced assay results from 28 additional drill holes as part of its ongoing 20,000-meter Phase II diamond drilling initiative at the fully owned Claudia Silver-Gold Project in the historic El Papantón Mining District in Durango State, Mexico, <a href="https://www.pacificasilver.com/index.php/news/2026-news/pacifica-silver-reports-strong-gold-silver-intercepts-at-cla2026-06-15-004510" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a June 11 release</a>. These holes have yielded multiple strong gold-silver intercepts, and the recent exploration of the high-grade Justina vein has successfully expanded the mineralization over a 600-meter strike length, the company said. Due to the arrival of the dry season, the company has strategically reduced its drill fleet from three rigs to two, optimizing safety and efficiency while continuing robust drilling activities on key targets. Since beginning in mid-January 2026, the fully funded Phase II program is on track to conclude in the third quarter of 2026. As of June 10, the project has completed drilling 12,750 meters across 54 holes, Pacifica said. Additionally, a 31.6 line-kilometer induced polarization (IP) and resistivity (RES) survey has been carried out over the central area of the property. This survey has pinpointed a significant high-chargeability anomaly, which the technical team is currently evaluating for potential drill targeting. "These latest drill results represent another strong step forward at the Claudia project and highlight significant new mineralization expansion potential in the southern portion of the project," Chief Executive Officer Todd Anthony said. "We have now extended the high-grade Justina vein discovery over 600 meters of strike; delivered some of the widest mineralized intervals seen to date on the Aguilareña-Tres Reyes area, including numerous multi-meter zones carrying strong gold and silver values; and discovered new hanging-wall vein systems that were not previously recognized." Anthony continued, "These results continue to reinforce our confidence in the scale, continuity, and significant potential of the mineralization at Claudia, which is clearly demonstrating the size and consistency required to build a meaningful resource." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Drill Result Highlights</h2> Aguilareña (Tres Reyes) Area <ul> <li>2.85 meters at 2.30 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) and 207 g/t silver (Ag) (405 g/t AgEq) from 167.75 meters, including 1.10 meters at 2.44 g/t Au and 369 g/t Ag (579 g/t AgEq), in hole 26CLAU095D.</li> <li>8.90 meters at 0.94 g/t Au and 101 g/t Ag (182 g/t AgEq) from 170.05 meters, including 0.65 meters at 6.98 g/t Au and 981 g/t Ag (1,581 g/t AgEq), in hole 26CLAU107D.</li> </ul> Aguilareña North Area <ul> <li>3 meters at 1.79 g/t Au and 27 g/t Ag (181 g/t AgEq) from 90 meters, including 0.55 meters at 6.81 g/t Au and 59 g/t Ag (645 g/t AgEq), in hole 26CLAU109D.</li> </ul> Justina Vein Area <ul> <li>1.45 meters at 1.90 g/t Au and 120 g/t Ag (283 g/t AgEq) from 123.2 meters, including 0.7 meters at 2.64 g/t Au and 173 g/t Ag (400 g/t AgEq) and 0.45 meters at 5.2 g/t Au and 470 g/t Ag (917 g/t AgEq) from 145.65 meters in hole 26CLAU101D.</li> <li>2.75 meters at 2.25 g/t Au and 12 g/t Ag (206 g/t AgEq) from 87.95 meters, including 1 meter at 4.72 g/t Au and 16 g/t Ag (422 g/t AgEq), in hole 26CLAU094D.</li> <li>0.5 meters at 3.35 g/t Au and 600 g/t Ag (888 g/t AgEq) from 104 meters in hole 26CLAU110D.</li> </ul> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Drilling Making Significant Progress</h2> Phase II drilling at the Aguilareña-Tres Reyes vein system has been making significant progress, successfully extending the mineralization 50-100 meters down-dip from previous drilling efforts across a 1-kilometer strike length, the company noted in the release. This phase of drilling has effectively filled in gaps laterally and expanded the vein system beneath the historical Aguilareña and Tres Reyes underground workings. The results confirm the vein's strong continuity both at depth and along the strike within the broader 1.9-kilometer area established by earlier Phase I and 2021 drilling efforts. Overall, the Phase II drilling results have been promising, showing improved mineralized widths and strong gold-silver grades on both sides of the Aguilareña shaft, Pacifica said. The drilling has extended the Aguilareña-Tres Reyes vein significantly below the historical workings and confirmed a richly mineralized hanging-wall vein system. The vein system remains open both down-dip and along strike, indicating a substantial potential for further expansion of the known mineralization in this priority target area. Exploratory drilling in the Contraria Vein Zone has involved five holes that tested multiple narrow veins. Notably, Hole 26CLAU100D intersected a distinct style of mineralization with strong zinc-lead values, marking the first significant encounter of base-metal mineralization at the project. This discovery suggests the potential proximity to a different mineralizing system and opens new avenues for exploration in this underexplored sector of the property. Furthermore, Pacifica Silver Corp. has completed a 31.6 line-kilometer induced polarization/resistivity (IP/RES) geophysical survey, the first ever conducted at the Claudia property. Conducted by Zonge International, the survey comprised 10 lines and was designed to delineate the extensive vein systems and identify potential non-outcropping targets for future drilling. The technical team is currently analyzing the data, which is expected to significantly influence the targeting of future drilling operations. <h2 style="text-align: center;">A 'Mega-Batch' of Assays</h2> <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/silver-advisor/newsletters/pacifica-silver-capitan-silver-esgold/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Butler, senior analyst for The Silver Advisor, reported on June 11</a> that Pacifica Silver has scored "a mega-batch" of assays in the results. Pacifica has notably extended the high-grade Justina vein by 600 meters and the Aguilareña vein by 1.9 kilometers, confirming a combined 2.5 kilometers of high-grade mineralization across these two structures, Butler wrote. Focusing on the Justina vein, which has captured attention since its discovery in early 2025, six strategically placed holes have expanded the confirmed mineralization from 26CLAU094D in the north to 26CLAU104D in the south. In addition to the vein discoveries, Pacifica Silver has completed its inaugural IP/RES geophysical survey at Claudia, covering 31.6-line kilometers. This survey pinpointed a significant anomaly in the southern area of the project, with plans to begin drilling tests very soon. For shareholders, the implications of these findings are substantial, Butler said. With the confirmation of two high-grade vein systems spanning over 2.5 kilometers, the new base-metal discovery, and a drill-ready IP anomaly, the scope of Claudia's potential has dramatically widened. These latest results build on the April findings, which included significant hits such as 0.35 meters at 1,258 g/t AgEq and 1.50 meters at 896 g/t AgEq, providing a robust foundation for further exploration. "Pacifica shares are up 5% today, a massive sign of strength against the current of a 2% down day for silver," he wrote. "As of June 10, 12,750 meters have been drilled across 54 holes at Claudia, with the fully funded Phase II 20,000-meter program on track for completion in Q3 2026. Only 10% of Claudia's 30+ kilometers of known veins have ever been drilled, meaning the runway for further discovery remains vast." He continued, "With this in mind, I maintain my overweight position, while Peter (Krauth) holds a full weighting." <h2 style="text-align: center;">The Catalyst: A Potential Bullish Reversal in the Silver Market?</h2> XAG/USD is experiencing a positive trend for the third day in a row, with its price hovering around US$70.30 per troy ounce during Monday's Asian trading session, <a href="https://www.fxstreet.com/news/silver-price-forecast-xag-usd-trades-above-7000-nine-day-ema-wedge-confluence-202606150738" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by Akhtar Faruqui for FX Empire on June 15</a>. A technical analysis of the daily chart indicates that the spot price of silver is breaking out from a descending wedge pattern, which may signal a potential bullish reversal in the market. Despite this breakout, the near-term outlook for the XAG/USD pair remains bearish as it continues to trade below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), currently finding some support at the nine-day EMA, Faruqui wrote. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned at 45.05, remaining under the neutral 50 mark, which suggests that any upward movement might be limited and that the price could face difficulties in sustaining gains while it stays beneath the medium-term EMA. Should silver prices manage to surpass the 50-day EMA at US$74.55, it would confirm a stronger bullish sentiment, potentially paving the way for the pair to approach the three-month peak of US$90.03 set on March 10. On the flip side, if the price retreats within the confines of the falling wedge pattern, immediate support is anticipated at the nine-day EMA of US$69.16, the report noted. A further decline could exert downward pressure on silver, leading it towards the lower boundary of the wedge around US$61.80, and possibly extending losses to the six-month low of US$61.01. On Monday, July futures for silver (SI=F) commenced trading at US$68.90 per ounce, marking a 1.4% increase from Friday's closing figure of US$67.97, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/silver-prices-today-monday-june-112535248.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported Tim Manni on June 15 for Yahoo! Finance</a>. The price of silver ascended further in early trading, reaching US$70.75 by 7:16 a.m. ET. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11447] This rise in silver prices mirrors movements in the gold market, both metals climbing in response to geopolitical developments. Notably, a ceasefire deal announced between the U.S. and Iran has raised hopes for a formal agreement potentially being signed within the week. This pivotal move towards enduring peace in the Middle East has led to a decrease in oil prices (BZ=F) and a slight alleviation of inflation concerns. With the Federal Reserve likely to maintain steady interest rates in the upcoming week, the outlook for precious metals like silver appears increasingly favorable, according to the report. To provide a broader perspective on silver's recent performance, the opening price on Monday showed a 1.4% increase from the previous Friday. Over the past week, silver prices have risen by 2.1%. However, comparing the current price to one month ago reveals a 14.5% decline, Manni wrote. Despite this recent dip, silver's value has surged by 90.3% compared to the same date last year, a significant rise from the 173.3% year-over-year growth recorded on May 14. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> Pacifica Silver Corp. has a market cap of CA$68.46 million, with 60.59 million shares outstanding. The company's 52-week range is CA$0.35-CA$2.48. Institutions hold 16% of shares, while Management and Insiders own 11%. Strategic Investors own 17% of shares.

In this environment, companies with advanced projects in stable jurisdictions stand to benefit significantly from favorable metal prices and operational efficiencies. GoldMining Inc. (GOLD:TSX; GLDG:NYSE.American) has delivered a standout preliminary economic assessment for its Sao Jorge Project in Para State, Brazil, <a href="https://www.goldmining.com/news/index.php?content_id=721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a June 11 release</a>. This assessment highlights why the company merits attention from retail investors evaluating gold exposure across the Americas. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why GoldMining Stands Out in the Current Market</h2> The company's approach combines a focused portfolio of resource assets with disciplined capital allocation. Sao Jorge exemplifies this strategy through its low initial capital needs and proximity to existing infrastructure such as power lines, paved highways, and a skilled local workforce. These factors reduce development risks compared to remote projects that require extensive new builds. Retail investors new to mining projects should note that a preliminary economic assessment, or PEA, provides an early-stage evaluation of potential economics based on current resources. It is not a feasibility study but offers valuable insight into possible returns under stated assumptions. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Unique Business Advantages and Project Economics</h2> The base case in the PEA shows an after-tax net present value using a 5% discount rate, known as NPV5%, of US$532 million and an after-tax internal rate of return, or IRR, of 42.4% at a gold price of US$3,500 per ounce. Payback occurs in 2.8 years. At a spot price of US$4,400 per ounce, those figures improve to an NPV5% of US$836.8 million, IRR of 58.6%, and payback of 2.4 years. Initial capital stands at US$202 million, including a 25% contingency, yielding an attractive NPV5% to initial capital ratio of 2.6x. This capital efficiency arises from the project's location advantages and planned 27,000 tonnes per day mining rate over a 10.6-year life. Production is projected to average 51,250 ounces of gold annually, with peak output of 57,200 ounces per year in years two through four. Life-of-mine all-in sustaining cost, or AISC, comes in at US$1,464 per ounce. AISC represents the total cost to produce and sell an ounce of gold, including sustaining capital and closure expenses, providing a clear measure of margin potential. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Assets, Catalysts, and Portfolio Context</h2> Sao Jorge forms part of a broader Americas-focused portfolio containing roughly 30 million ounces of gold equivalent across seven wholly-owned projects plus a 74.2% stake in US GoldMining Inc (USGO:NASDAQ). The deposit is a granite-hosted intrusion-related gold system with multiple new exploration targets identified over the past two years, supporting potential resource expansion. Upcoming catalysts include further drilling at Sao Jorge and Yarumalito, updates from the US GoldMining stake, and portfolio reviews. The company plans to move quickly into pre-feasibility studies and permitting to advance the asset. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Perspectives and Valuation Insights</h2> Red Cloud analyst Ron Stewart maintained a Buy rating and raised the target price to CA$3.90 per share following the PEA. He models the first production in early 2032 after a 3.5-year advancement period and values Sao Jorge at US$287 million using a US$3,000 per ounce long-term gold price, with upside to approximately US$500 million at PEA assumptions. <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/gldg/forecast/">According to the website StockAnalysis</a>, H.C. Wainwright's Heiko Ihle holds a Buy rating with a CA$3.75 target, while Roth MKM's Joseph Reagor also rates the stock Buy with a CA$3.50 target. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-9860] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing and Gold Price Trends</h2> Gold prices reached record levels in 2025 before experiencing volatility into 2026, influenced by inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical factors. <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-will-happen-gold-prices-inflation-stays-elevated-2026-experts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported Aly J. Yale for CBS News MoneyWatch on June 11</a>. Experts note gold's historical role as a wealth preserver during inflationary periods when fiat currencies lose purchasing power. <a href="https://www.fxempire.com/forecasts/article/gold-price-forecast-expect-one-more-shakeout-before-bottoming-in-june-1603221" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to A.G. Thorson writing for FX Empire on June 8</a>, recent price action below the 200-day moving average may represent an entry opportunity, with historical precedents showing strong subsequent rallies. Projections suggest gold could reach the US$5,000 per ounce range by year-end 2026 under continued demand. GoldMining's balance sheet, with roughly US$183 million in cash and securities, supports the advancement of Sao Jorge without immediate financing pressure, enhancing its ability to capture value in the current price environment. 1About 5% of shares are held by insiders and management, 13% by institutions, and the balance by retail investors. Market capitalization stands at US$202.65 million with 214 million shares outstanding and a 52-week trading range of US$0.72 to US$2.26. These elements combine to position GoldMining as a company with clear visibility into project advancement and participation in favorable sector dynamics for patient retail investors. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

I was a rookie stock salesman back when this bull market started, and I remember it like it was yesterday. No, wait. I remember it like it was August 12, 1982, and August 1982 was nothing even vaguely similar to June of 2026. Today, the public has been trained to worship stocks and idolize stock market trillionaires like Elon Musk. Back in the summer of '82, people hated stocks, refusing to answer telephone calls (from rotary phones) from stock salesmen, even if they were a blood relative. In fact, it was so bad that on the rare occasion that somebody with enough money (and intestinal fortitude) to invest actually answered your call, you had to spend at least twenty minutes listening to what that person thought of "you people" as if stockbrokers were from a different planet. On one occasion, I was going through my daily list of prospects, painfully engaged in the art of "cold calling" where I would call someone I had never met before who had no idea who I was, with the expressed intent of selling them the "Stock of the Day" that came to our branch office via teletype every morning. I dialed a number in Sarnia, Ontario, and was unlucky enough to have the owner of this construction business actually answer his own company telephone. Shocked that I could even get an answer, I quickly introduced myself, stated the name of my firm, and explained the reason for my call. The man on the end of the phone paused and then said. "Let me get this straight. You are calling to pitch me on a "hot stock" that your "firm" says will make me a lot of money, right?" I confirmed it to him, after which he said, "The last time I took the advice of a lying, thieving stock salesman was last year, and it cost me $10,000, and you actually expect me to listen to your pitch?" Well, for the next ten minutes it went downhill from there as I was called every name in the book that included sexual preferences, psychological trauma, integrity, honesty, and whether or not I was still wetting the bed. Now, I had arrived at work that day in ill humor as I had not had much sleep the night before due to a howling alley cat that was just below the second-floor apartment window, which had to remain open due to a distinct lack of a functioning air conditioner. So, I listened carefully and begrudgingly to the insults of this venomous human being for the full ten minutes, and then, for some ungodly reason, I snapped. As he was finishing off one particularly nasty piece of instruction as to where I should insert the research report I had offered to send him "Free of charge!", I interrupted him and said, "Mr. Curran, it would seem that I may have chosen a poor day to have a conversation with you. Tell me, sir, do you remember the name of my firm?" He grunted back, "No, and I don't particularly care either." I then asked, "And do you happen to remember my name?" Again, he snarled and said no. I then said, "OK, let me summarize. You are not able to remember either my name or the name of my firm. Is that correct?" He then said in the most condescending tone of voice imaginable, "That would be correct, Einstein." Then, in what could have only been an out-of-body experience, I shouted an <expletive deleted> into the mouthpiece and slammed the phone down. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202661571955_1.png" alt="" width="624" height="324" /> Investors in 1982 had just gone through one of the most exasperating decades in stock market history as the S&P 500 peaked in 1973 above 120 and then spent nine years trading below it, reaching a bottom at around 62 in 1974. In fact, it was inflation and Watergate that crippled stock prices brought on by the "Great Society" spending blitz under LBJ in the mid-Sixties and the cost of the war in Vietnam that caused the U.S. national debt to explode higher. In fact, many of the ill-fated programs of the 1960's and 1970s are rhyming with this current decade, which is the Millennial version of the "Roaring Twenties", that period of economic boom times that preceded the Crash of '29 and The Great Depression. It might be said that the "AI bubble" of 2026 is a mirror image of the "British Railroad bubble" of 1847-1850, where miles upon miles of track were laid only to lie fallow for years until demand caught up with supply many years later. Analogies to the dotcom craze of 1997-2001 are everywhere, but as far as extremes go, the current mania surpasses any prior boom period by a substantial margin in terms of market cap to gross domestic product, margin debt, and price-to-sales ratios. Many of the old-timers would suggest that the 1973-1974 bear market was the worst in recent memory with its 48.2% drop from peak-to-trough but statistically, it was the "Great Financial Crisis" (which I love to call the "Great Financial Bailout") of 2007-2009 where the S&P 500 crashed 56.78% from a peak in 2007 at 1,565 to its March 2009 low at 676 that was the Papa Bear Market of the past fifty years. Because it was over and done in a relatively short period of time thanks to the government bailouts and rescue packages, investors were not forced to face the music on their own and were in fact given a playbook in 2009 that encouraged them to take inordinate risks with their retirement accounts and college funds and rainy day nest eggs because as we have witnessed since 2009, no decline in stocks is ever allowed to last more than a few single-digit percentage points before the stimulus cavalry rides in to the rescue. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202661572023_2.png" alt="" width="624" height="287" /> There will be hundreds of commentaries by the end of next week both praising and condemning the Spacex IPO as it is entered into the hallowed Wall Street Hall of Fame as the richest IPO in history but at the same time embodying the "Future of America" with artificial intelligence marrying up with outer space exploration which certainly justifies a company that had a net "burn" of nearly $5 billion in 2025. While Starlink is highly profitable as a satellite internet provider, the space exploration and AI divisions are "cash incinerators" of the highest order. The IPO was successfully completed on Friday at $135 per share with its opening trade at $150 and high print at $175. The market value at the high of the day exceeded $2 trillion (with a "T"), and if CNBC were to show Elon Musk's smiling face one more time by the closing bell, I was going to launch my five-pound paperweight through the TV screen. 2026 is definitely not like August '82. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Precious Metals</h2> The precious metals have been in a dour funk since last January 29, when gold scaled the $5,626 level, and silver crashed through $123 with calls for "$500 silver by summer!" and "silver shortages everywhere!" ringing throughout the blogosphere and reverberating around the Twitterverse with astounding certainty and remarkable hubris. Up until earlier this week, the gold and silver gurus of 2025 had been trying in earnest to find a way to make amends for all the money they had been losing their subscribers by preaching the "ten rules of dollar debasement" to their unsuspecting followers. Notwithstanding the fact that I have been hearing, reading, and watching the hard money gang preach from the same prayer book since 1980, what the newcomers to the "Dying Dollar" narrative forgot to tell their flock of eager Kool-Aid drinkers was that gold and silver are not "deities" to be honored by the offering of sacrificial lambs otherwise known as "subscribers". Gold and silver have a "bid" and an "offer" and are influenced by the same rules of demand and supply as any other stock, commodity, or fixed income vehicle. As I pointed out in January, three times to be accurate, with small losses taken twice, the precious metals markets had been rising in an orderly "gradual" manner from late-August 2023 after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell shifted from "hawkish" to "neutral" during his Jackson Hole speech. It was late last year, beginning in August, two full years after that "Powell pivot", that the PMs decided to depart from the "gradual" ascent and embark upon a steepening of the ascent, moving from a comfortable 45° incline to 75° in December and then the final 90° "vertical" incline in January. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202661572058_3.png" alt="" width="624" height="472" /> The top came like a thief in the night; it arrived without fanfare and with no advanced warning (except from party-poopers like yours truly), but when the events of January 29 were in the history books, they marked one of the truly classic textbook reversals in market history. Silver went from $123 to $64 in five sessions before bottoming on March 23 at $60.94. Each rally saw lower highs, and each decline saw lower lows, making the last four months vintage bear market behavior. This past week, I was forced to put away my bearish inclinations toward the PM's because the relative strength index for gold touched levels last seen in the summer of 2023 at the tail end of the Fed-tightening cycle, when it plunged to the mid-20 level. While the Hamas attacks on Israeli citizens on October 7of that year undoubtedly caused a watershed shift in sentiment, I think that the market this week finally decided to ignore the posts on Truth Social and, in fact, see the Middle East conflict for what it truly is: a mess. It now appears as though there is not going to be an easy way for Trump to back down after suffering not only heavy losses in the campaign to remove the Iranian hardliners but also the embarrassment of failing to secure the Strait of Hormuz or the enriched uranium. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202661572120_4.png" alt="" width="624" height="472" /> For the very first time in 2026, I told subscribers that I was making the move to "bullish" for both gold and silver, and I put my money where my mouth was on Wednesday with the purchase of the GLD:US as well as some at-the-money call options on it and the SLV:US for August expiries. I also cautioned that these purchases are "trades" and not long-term investments to be kept in a hallowed room in the basement along with lit candles and burning incense. The downtrend line drawn of tops in January and May comes in around $4,425 for spot gold or around $410 for the GLD:US, so I will be on high alert if and when I see those levels being tested and will have zero remorse about flinging all positions summarily overboard in order to lock in profits. As for silver, it is a somewhat dissimilar beast than gold in that it can gain trajectory and momentum in the blink of an eye, largely because it is persistently in the crosshairs of the legions of podcasters and bloggers that love to pride themselves as "silver specialists". For me and for these trades I put on last Wednesday, I am watching the downtrend line, which coincides perfectly with the 100-dma at around $79.50 as my near-term target. I will not be donning my "Silver Squeeze Hoodie" anytime soon, and I will refrain from saying any silver-oriented prayers in order to augment my chances for success. When silver approaches that downtrend line, I will be offering my leveraged positions happily and with nary a shred of remorse. After all is said and done, it is merely a "trade". I am adamant on treating these new positions as trades because the events of January 29 were too similar to September 2011 and August 2020 to allow me to remain complacent. It may well be that I am trading on the long side of a bear market rally, and based on the blow-off tops in January, that is still an odds-on favorite as a call. However, markets were egregiously oversold this week, so I took the plunge. If it turns out to be "THE" bottom, I will be more than happy, as will my junior gold positions that still inhabit my portfolio on the whim and prayer that the final speculative blow-off in the junior miners lies ahead of and not behind us. <h2 style="text-align: center;">S&P/TSX Venture</h2> The S&P/TSX Venture Composite has been behaving poorly since the January 29 blow-off top in the precious metals, but that is no surprise to followers of this service. I have been droning on and on for years about the correlation between the gold price and the TSX Venture Exchange, and no better illustration than the chart shown below. A series of lower lows and lower highs since January has the TSXV on its heels, and in all likelihood, this malaise will last until after Labor Day, into the middle of September, after the kiddies are all back in school, tuitions paid, and room-and-board money all accounted for. It doesn't mean that prices will continue to drop right through to September, but what it does suggest is that upside momentum will be subdued until the majority of speculators return to the junior mining arena. What will coerce the typical junior resource noodler into writing cheques again will be either a) an across-the-board upturn in metal prices or b) a major discovery. A third possible catalyst could be corporate activity in the form of an investment by a major miner into a junior explorer or developer, but absent any of those three triggers, the juniors stay fairly quiet right through to mid-September. The companies I am buying are ones I already own; I rarely add new names to my list of holdings during the summer months because the ones I hold are ones that I trimmed in the pre-PDAC period (January-February). In my case, all of the companies I own are deeply-rooted explorers that are active in the field as this is being written, so with the possibility of a game-changing discovery present for most of my junior holdings, I stick to my knitting, as they say. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202661572202_5.png" alt="" width="624" height="570" /> One company that I particularly like, given my newfound fondness for "all that glitters," is little Grafton Resources Inc. (GFT:CSE; PMSXF:OTC), whose management group is the same group that runs my top-ranked Fitzroy Minerals Inc. (FTZ:TSX.V; FTZFF:OTCQB) and who continue to be active in Chile, one of the best places in the world to be involved in the mining and/or exploration business. While FTZ/FTZFF is a copper-centric explorer-developer, GFT/GFTFF is a designated precious metals explorer-developer with projects in both gold and silver located in enviable jurisdictions in Chile. <img class="float_left" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202661572232_Picture6.png" alt="" width="308" height="384" />From what I have been able to glean, they are currently in the "accumulation phase", as in the hunt for projects and properties in Chile. Director and Technical Advisor Gilberto Schubert has been toiling in this region for over thirty years, and as the former country manager for Vale, he knows the Chilean landscape better than most. While management has a solid track record in all the right spaces, it is the capital structure that caught my attention. Most junior miners involved in exploration and/or development for the past number of years tend to have bloated share structures largely because from August 2020 until October 2023, the metals were caught in a moribund malaise of disinterest that meant "Keep the Lights On" financings were necessary at depressed prices for the better part of three years resulting in a great many shares being issued just to keep active and by "active", I mean "still listed", as opposed to drilling their properties. GFT/GFTFF was put together late last year as a new shell company with an extremely tight float, such that the company has working capital exceeding CAD $3 million with only 26.3 million shares issued (fully-diluted). They avoided the "dilution trap" because they took advantage of the hot markets in late 2025 to complete two small raises at $.30 and $.50 and are now fully-funded. One of their properties, called Alicahue, is in the same vicinity as Fitzroy's Caballos project, with a piece of ground held by a major mining company sandwiched between the two. The company announced on May 20 a "Letter of Intent" with Denver-based Newmont Corp. (NEM:NYSE; NGT:TSX; NEM:ASX), but the details were omitted in advance of a "Definitive Agreement" which will sort out what properties and terms have been agreed upon. I eagerly await the revelation of the details of this transaction and firmly believe that this is the kind of corporate development that will act as a positive catalyst for the stock. Just the proximity to Caballos could be reason enough for GFT/GFTFF to support a market cap double or triple the current level in the event that Caballos turns out to be another Los Bronces or Las Pelambres, two of the more noteworthy copper-molybdenum mines in that part of Chile. In the interim, these lazy summer markets may allow some stock to shake free, which is why I was bidding literally all week long with little result. Grafton is a "strong buy" for a big move into year-end. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>As of the date of this article, officers, contractors, shareholders, and/or employees of Streetwise Reports LLC (including members of their household) own securities of Grafton Resources and Fitzroy.</li> <li>Michael Ballanger: I, or members of my immediate household or family, own securities of: Fitzroy Minerals and Grafton Resources.

Advances Quinchia Gold Project with Major Financing as Gold Market Navigates Inflation and Rate Dynamics https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/06/16/tiger-gold-corp-advances-quinchia-gold-project-with-major-financing-as-gold-market-navigates-inflation-and-rate-dynamics.html Source: <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/06/16/tiger-gold-corp-advances-quinchia-gold-project-with-major-financing-as-gold-market-navigates-inflation-and-rate-dynamics.html?utm_medium=feed">Streetwise Reports 06/16/2026</a> Explore how Tiger Gold Corp. (TIGR:TSXV) is positioning its Quinchia project for growth through accelerated drilling and full ownership, set against evolving gold market conditions driven by inflation, interest rates, and investor interest.Retail investors tracking the gold sector are watching how macroeconomic factors like inflation trends and interest rate expectations continue to shape precious metals prices and project development timelines. Amid these conditions, companies with strong assets in established gold belts and fresh capital for exploration stand out as potential opportunities. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Tiger Gold Corp. Stands Out in the Current Gold Landscape</h2> Tiger Gold Corp. (TIGR:TSXV) has secured significant new funding that directly supports expanded exploration at its flagship asset. <a href="https://tigergoldco.com/tiger-gold-announces-closing-of-21000000-oversubscribed-offering-of-special-warrants-to-accelerate-drilling-at-quinchia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The closing of its previously announced commercially reasonable efforts offering of special warrants, led by SCP Resource Finance LP on behalf of itself and a syndicate of agents, including Beacon Securities Ltd. and ArcStone Kingswood, a division of Kingswood Capital Partners LLC.</a> This capital infusion arrives at a time when many juniors are seeking ways to advance their programs efficiently. The financing provides the resources needed to push drilling forward at the Ceibal target while maintaining flexibility for general corporate needs. For investors new to the space, special warrants represent a financing tool that converts into common shares and warrants once certain regulatory conditions are met, helping companies raise funds while offering potential upside through the warrant component. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Unique Project Advantages and Full Ownership Milestone</h2> Tiger Gold's Quinchia Gold Project sits in Colombia's Mid-Cauca belt, a region known for hosting multiple gold discoveries with porphyry and breccia styles of mineralization. The company recently completed the final payment to secure 100 percent ownership, reducing complexity for future development decisions and allowing focused execution on exploration and studies. This ownership structure means fewer joint-venture hurdles as the team advances resource expansion and technical work. The project already hosts several defined targets, including Miraflores, Tesorito, Dos Quebradas, Ceibal, and Chuscal, giving the company multiple avenues to grow its mineral inventory over time. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Catalysts Driving Near-Term Momentum</h2> With the recent capital raise, Tiger Gold is prioritizing drilling at Ceibal to build toward a maiden mineral resource estimate targeted for late 2026. The oversubscribed offering, which included partial exercise of the agents' overallotment option, underscores market interest in the company's plans. <a href="https://tigergoldco.com/tiger-gold-announces-closing-of-21000000-oversubscribed-offering-of-special-warrants-to-accelerate-drilling-at-quinchia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tiger Gold also announced</a> an investor relations engagement focused on European audiences, subject to exchange approval, which could broaden awareness among international retail investors. Each special warrant converts into one common share plus one-half warrant exercisable at US$1.20 for 36 months. This structure aligns long-term holder incentives with project success while providing immediate funding for the drill programs. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing, Gold Market Trends, and Macro Backdrop</h2> Gold prices have experienced volatility tied to inflation readings and shifting expectations around interest rate policy. <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/06/11/gold-just-tumbled-into-its-first-bear-market-since-2022-heres-what-investors-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a June 11 article from The Motley Fool,</a> spot prices retreated more than 25 percent from January highs as investors weighed higher real yields and rotated toward interest-bearing assets. Corrections of this nature are common in commodity markets and often create entry points for companies actively advancing projects. <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-06-12/golds-inflation-problem-could-become-its-next-bullish-trigger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A June 12 analysis from Kitco News examined the same themes, describing inflation as a key factor influencing the precious metals market. </a> Analysts noted that if inflation outpaces rate adjustments, real yields could decline and historically support gold prices over time. <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026/6/14/why-is-the-price-of-gold-trending-down" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On June 14, Al Jazeera also examined the impact of inflation and interest rates on gold prices</a>, highlighting how a stronger U.S. dollar can pressure gold while broader fiscal dynamics may eventually favor the metal as a store of value. <h2 style="text-align: center;"> Perspectives and Recent Drill Highlights</h2> Independent analysts and newsletter writers have reviewed recent assay results across multiple Quinchia targets. <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/the-gold-advisor/newsletters/tiger-gold-dryden-gold-a2-gold-emperor-metals-western-exploration/#tg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an April 21 report, Gold Advisor senior analyst Jeff Valks reviewed results from Dos Quebradas, highlighting what he described as a "169 gram-meter standout intercept" from hole QDQDH-27.</a> The intercept demonstrated continuous mineralization extending to depth, with follow-up holes confirming lateral and vertical continuity within the breccia system. <a href="http://www.321gold.com/editorials/moriarty/moriarty042226.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bob Moriarty also discussed the Dos Quebradas results in an April 22 report,</a> noting the significance of intercepts exceeding 100 gram-meters and praising the company's leadership for its experience in the junior resource sector. <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/newsletters/cabral-gold-tiger-gold-emperor-metals-scorpio-gold/#tg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a June 2 update, Valks reviewed results from the Ceibal target and described the latest drill hole</a> as extending known mineralization both laterally and at depth, with one hole tracing gold values over roughly 600 vertical meters and remaining open. <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/the-gold-advisor/newsletters/scorpio-gold-tiger-gold-a2gold-western-exploration/#tg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a June 9 Gold Advisor update, senior Valks discussed Tiger Gold's completion of the final staged cash option payment to LCL Resources, which gave the company the right to acquire a 100% interest in the Quinchía Gold Project and Andes Gold Project in Colombia's Mid-Cauca belt.</a> He emphasized the benefits of full control for streamlining future resource growth and development studies. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Exploration Work Programs and 2026 Objectives</h2> <a href="https://tigergoldco.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Tiger-Gold-Presentation-Q1-2026-FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tiger Gold's Q1 2026 corporate presentation states that Phase 1 drilling at the Quinchia Gold Project commenced in October 2025 and includes a 10,000-meter drill program targeting extension, discovery, and resource definition activities. Phase 2 is planned to commence in 2026.</a> Planned activities include infill drilling to upgrade confidence in existing resources, extension drilling at depth and along strike, and exploration drilling to test links between targets and verify geological models. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11516] The company has outlined objectives for the year that encompass resource expansion, verification of historical estimates, baseline environmental and engineering studies, community engagement, metallurgical testing, and preparation for future economic studies. Three drill rigs remain active across the project area, supported by a substantial field team. Retail investors evaluating the opportunity may note that the combination of recent financing, full project ownership, and ongoing drilling positions the company to deliver steady news flow through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027. Share structure details show a market capitalization of CA$74.23 million based on 104.18 million shares outstanding, with a 52-week trading range of CA$0.11 to CA$0.97. 1Insiders hold approximately 3.02 percent of the shares, while the balance is widely held by retail investors. This ownership profile can appeal to those seeking alignment with management as the project advances. Upcoming milestones include continued assay results from active drilling, progress toward the planned maiden resource at Ceibal, and potential regulatory approvals for the recent financing and investor relations initiatives. These elements together create a clear roadmap for the months ahead. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li> Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee. </li> <li> This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

(SEA:TSX; SA:NYSE.MKT)</a>, implying roughly 155% upside from the June 8, 2026 closing price of US$27.83, following a British Columbia Supreme Court ruling that upheld the "Substantially Started" designation for the company's KSM project while ordering additional Indigenous consultation. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;">Court Ruling and Analyst View</h2> The BC Supreme Court found that the Environmental Assessment Office's (EAO) July 2024 "Substantially Started" determination for KSM was reasonable, affirming the designation on its merits. The deficiency identified by the court was confined to the consultation process with the Tsetsaut Skii km Lax Ha (TSKLH), rather than the substance of the decision. The court ordered the EAO to give the TSKLH a 90-day window to submit written representations, after which the office must reconsider its determination. A separate petition brought by SkeenaWild Conservation Trust, an environmental NGO challenging the determination on its merits, was dismissed in full. Reynolds characterized the outcome as one that "removes the risk of the designation being overturned on its merits, but leaves a potential procedural overhang," noting the consultation finding and ordered reconsideration amount to a partial setback even as the substantive ruling went in Seabridge's favor. RBC tagged the report with a Neutral sentiment. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;">Operational Continuity and Project Status</h2> Work at KSM continues uninterrupted through the reconsideration period. Since the January 2024 application, Seabridge has spent an additional ~US$208m on permanent works, bringing the total to US$1.2b, which Reynolds views as strengthening the factual basis for the determination should it be revisited. Management confirmed the 2026 site program proceeds as planned, including feasibility study preparations targeting completion in 2H27, road construction, and the completion of BC Hydro's Treaty Creek Terminal. Broad First Nations support remains intact, with backing from the Nisga'a and Tahltan Nations and the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs Office; the report frames the TSKLH matter as specific to one group and procedural in nature rather than reflecting broader Indigenous opposition. The "Substantially Started" designation is significant because it locks KSM's provincial and federal environmental assessment certificates in place for the life of the project, removing the prior expiry deadline originally set for July 2026; without it, the project's EA approvals would have lapsed and effectively halted advancement. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Valuation, Outlook, and Risks</h2> The US$71.00 target is based on an average 0.40x multiple applied to RBC's NAV8% estimate, a discount to covered developer peers that reflects the project's stage, potential partnership, longer-dated upside from unmodeled resources and projects, and construction cost and complexity. The Speculative Risk qualifier reflects the early-stage nature of the project and the construction risk ahead. Key risks flagged include partnership risk, since the target and recommendation largely hinge on Seabridge securing a partner first to advance and fund a feasibility study and then to assume operatorship through construction and production; sensitivity to gold prices (and to a lesser extent copper); and construction capex, estimated at US$6.4bn in the 2022 PFS or US$7.8bn on RBC's smaller-scale initial project assumption. Additional risks span the project's remoteness and climate, the need for significant further permitting prior to production despite environmental approvals being in place, project financing dependent on partnership terms and market conditions, and past project opposition from local groups and NGOs concerning impacts on waters, rivers, and salmon spawning grounds. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Seabridge Gold Inc. is a billboard sponsor of Streetwise Reports and pays SWR a monthly sponsorship fee between US$3,000 and US$6,000.</li> <li>As of the date of this article, officers, contractors, shareholders, and/or employees of Streetwise Reports LLC (including members of their household) own securities of Seabridge Gold Inc.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

The program focuses on extending known high-grade mineralization while testing new targets across a broader mineralized system. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why This Explorer Stands Out in the Current Copper Environment</h2> Algo Grande benefits from a combination of confirmed high-grade results from earlier drilling, a clearly defined expansion corridor identified through modern geophysics, and access to a district-scale land package. Sonora offers established infrastructure, including roads, power, and proximity to ports, which can help control future development costs compared with more remote locations. The company is led by a management team and advisors with direct experience in significant discoveries and project advancement. Strategic advisor Dr. Peter Megaw, known for his work with MAG Silver, provides technical oversight on target generation and drill planning. CEO Enrico Gay has guided the company through the acquisition of Adelita and the rebranding process. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Phase II Program Expands on Proven High-Grade Skarn Discovery</h2> The current campaign is designed to extend the Cerro Grande Copper-Silver-Gold skarn target along a 2.5-kilometer corridor defined by magnetic surveys, soil sampling, and mapping. The first hole of the phase, AG_GC_PH2_001, commenced on June 9 and is planned to reach 500 meters, testing an area 100 meters north of previous intercepts. Additional holes will step out to the south and northwest. The overall 8,000-meter program also includes first-time drilling at the Cerro Potrero South skarn target and the Las Trancas epithermal target. A skarn refers to a type of mineral deposit formed when magma interacts with carbonate rocks, often producing high-grade concentrations of copper and associated metals. Epithermal systems are shallower deposits typically rich in silver and gold. Surface sampling at Cerro Potrero South has returned values including 3.06% copper, 3.72 grams per tonne gold, and 232 grams per tonne silver. At Las Trancas, selective samples have shown peak grades of 41.4% copper, 2 grams per tonne gold, and 1,570 grams per tonne silver, highlighting the potential for additional discovery opportunities beyond the main Cerro Grande zone. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing Supports Focused Exploration Efforts</h2> <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4602932-copper-prices-and-miners-rise-on-potential-us-iran-deal-that-could-lift-global-demand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a report by Carl Surran for Seeking Alpha on June 12</a>, copper mining equities rallied in pre-market trading following signs of potential resolution in geopolitical tensions that had weighed on markets. Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange traded higher, reflecting optimism around more stable macroeconomic conditions and robust downstream demand, particularly from China. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11488] <a href="https://goldinvest.de/en/major-squeeze-in-the-commodities-sector-analysts-significantly-raise-copper-price-forecasts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a report by Björn Junker for GoldInvest.de on June 8</a>, major banks, including Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, have raised their copper price forecasts, citing tighter inventories and production shortfalls at several large mines. These adjustments reflect fundamental supply-demand imbalances rather than speculative activity. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Technical Analysis and Market Positioning</h2> 1<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/02/17/a-phase-two-copper-gold-drill-program-and-bullish-charts-is-it-time-to-buy.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a review of the stock by Technical Analyst Stewart Thomson on February 17</a>, the shares have demonstrated relative strength compared with the broader CDNX index since the Adelita acquisition and corporate rebranding. Bullish chart patterns, including a wedge formation and positive divergence in momentum indicators, suggest the potential for further upside on positive news flow. The company also maintains exposure to a possible underlying copper porphyry source, which could represent a larger-scale opportunity if confirmed through deeper drilling. Porphyry deposits are large, low-to-medium grade systems that often form the foundation for major copper mines worldwide. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Perspectives Highlight Team Strength and Expansion Potential</h2> <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/04/02/copper-corp-advances-high-grade-porphyry-skarn-system-led-by-young-innovative-team.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a contributed opinion piece for Streetwise Reports by Robert Sinn of Goldfinger Capital on April 2</a>, key investor considerations include multiple high-grade skarn intercepts along a multi-kilometer corridor and clear step-out targets identified by drone magnetic surveys. The involvement of experienced technical advisors is viewed as an important factor in reducing exploration risk. Algo Grande Copper Corp. maintains a market capitalization of CA$25.83 million with 42.34 million shares outstanding. The 52-week trading range stands at CA$0.30 to CA$1.00. 2Insider and strategic investors hold approximately 40% of the shares, institutions approximately 8%, and retail investors approximately 52%. The Phase II program effectively doubles the amount of historical drilling completed on the property to date, providing a substantial increase in data across three distinct target areas. With drilling now underway, investors can monitor results from the Cerro Grande expansion holes as well as initial assays from the new targets at Cerro Potrero South and Las Trancas. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Algo Grande Copper Corp. has a consulting relationship with Street Smart an affiliate of Streetwise Reports.

The publication wrote that gold had previously benefited from demand as a safe-haven asset "amid persistently high inflation and geopolitical uncertainty," but noted that inflationary pressures and interest rate expectations had since weighed on prices. The article stated that annual inflation reached 4.2% in May and that expectations for delayed interest rate cuts had encouraged investors to shift toward U.S. Treasury bonds. As a result, "non-interest-bearing assets like gold" had faced pressure. The publication also noted that corrections were a normal feature of commodity markets. <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-06-12/golds-inflation-problem-could-become-its-next-bullish-trigger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A June 12 analysis from Kitco News examined the same themes, describing inflation as a key factor influencing the precious metals market. </a>The publication wrote that rising inflation had "weighed on prices as markets adjust to a more stubborn interest-rate outlook," while expectations for tighter monetary policy had increased "the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset." Kitco noted that analysts had increasingly focused on real yields rather than nominal interest rates. The publication wrote that "if inflation continues to rise faster than interest rates, real yields will move lower," a condition that had "typically provided a stronger foundation for gold." The report added that even in a rising-rate environment, accelerating inflation could push real yields into negative territory, which had historically provided support for precious metals. The publication also highlighted broader economic conditions, writing that the United States was dealing with "widening fiscal deficits, growing government debt, and sticky inflation pressures." According to Kitco, "Gold tends to perform best when that policy trade-off becomes unavoidable." The report concluded that while inflation had been pressuring gold prices in the near term, "if it continues to outpace those rates, real yields will eventually move lower," adding that "for now, inflation is the problem. Later, it could be the catalyst." <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026/6/14/why-is-the-price-of-gold-trending-down" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On June 14, Al Jazeera also examined the impact of inflation and interest rates on gold prices</a>. The publication reported that gold prices had fallen from US$5,303 per troy ounce in January to US$4,235 by mid-June despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. Justin Cardwell, head options analyst for OptionSpreaders.com, told Al Jazeera that "Gold is as close to real money as is possible in terms of an asset." He added that investors purchased gold for its appreciation in value and noted that "Gold loses its shininess as an investment if interest rates are high and people are going to pound into the dollar." Collin Plume, chief executive officer of Noble Gold Investments, also discussed the relationship between gold and currency markets, telling Al Jazeera, "When the dollar strengthens, gold feels the pressure; when the dollar weakens, gold tends to climb. Right now, the dollar is strong, and gold is feeling it." Plume further described inflation and interest rates as "two sides of a seesaw" and said that "gold sits right in the middle of that." Cardwell added that easing inflation could provide support for gold prices, while noting that broader economic factors would continue to influence the market. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analysis Highlights Drill Results Across Quinchía Targets</h2> <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/the-gold-advisor/newsletters/tiger-gold-dryden-gold-a2-gold-emperor-metals-western-exploration/#tg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an April 21 report, Gold Advisor senior analyst Jeff Valks reviewed results from Dos Quebradas, highlighting what he described as a "169 gram-meter standout intercept" from hole QDQDH-27.</a> The interval returned "282.45m @ 0.6 g/t gold," including "32m @ 1.3 g/t gold" and "21.23m @ 1.6 g/t gold." Valks noted that the hole "ended in mineralization," which he said, "suggests the system continues at depth." He also wrote that a second hole confirmed gold mineralization across multiple intervals to a depth of 631.1 meters, indicating the system extends vertically and laterally through the breccia complex. Valks cited comments from President and CEO Robert Vallis, who stated, "QDQDH-27 is an encouraging result from our initial drill program... While we wait for assays from QDQDH-26... we are updating our model and planning the next phase of drilling." Valks added that three rigs were active across the Quinchía project, with assays pending from Dos Quebradas, Tesorito, and Ceibal. He stated that the stock remained a Buy. <a href="http://www.321gold.com/editorials/moriarty/moriarty042226.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bob Moriarty also discussed the Dos Quebradas results in an April 22 report,</a> writing that hole QDQDH-27 returned "282.5 meters of 0.6 g/t Au from 18 meters downhole." Moriarty described the intercept as significant, stating that "anything over 100 grams/meters is a great hole." Moriarty also commented on the company's leadership, writing that Tiger Gold is led by "one of the most experienced CEOs of a junior resource company I have witnessed in twenty-five years." Referring to Vallis, he stated, "He is top-notch and worldly." Discussing the broader Quinchía project, Moriarty wrote that "The 20,000 meter fully funded drill program has already revealed the potential for a high-grade feeder zone beneath the pit resources at Tesorito." He added that breccia mineralization had shown higher-grade gold and the presence of copper mineralization. Moriarty concluded that "Tiger Gold has everything," adding that management was "experienced and determined to become Colombia's newest gold mine." Neither report disclosed a formal target price. <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/newsletters/cabral-gold-tiger-gold-emperor-metals-scorpio-gold/#tg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a June 2 update, Valks reviewed results from the Ceibal target and described the latest drill hole</a> as "another long intercept from Ceibal" that "helps stretch the story both sideways and downward." The report highlighted drill hole CEDDH-010, which returned "0.5 g/t gold over 437.05 meters from 271 meters downhole," including "2.2 g/t gold over 9 meters" and "1.4 g/t gold over 10 meters." The hole also returned "0.7 g/t gold over 214 meters from 22 meters downhole," including "1.1 g/t gold over 23 meters" and "1.0 g/t gold over 8 meters." Valks wrote that the hole intersected predominantly porphyry-style mineralization across a 685.7-meter near-surface interval. Valks stated that drilling at Ceibal had outlined an apparent strike length of at least 300 meters and an apparent average width of approximately 300 meters. He added that CEDDH-010 traced mineralization over roughly 600 vertical meters and ended in mineralization at 707.7 meters downhole. According to Valks, the system remains open at depth, and the corridor remains open to the northwest, southeast, and southwest. He also noted that three rigs remained active and that assays were pending from Ceibal, Dos Quebradas, and Tesorito. Valks stated that the stock remained a Buy and added that "CEDDH-010 gives Ceibal added scale ahead of a planned maiden resource." <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/the-gold-advisor/newsletters/scorpio-gold-tiger-gold-a2gold-western-exploration/#tg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a June 9 Gold Advisor update, senior Valks discussed Tiger Gold's completion of the final staged cash option payment to LCL Resources, which gave the company the right to acquire a 100% interest in the Quinchía Gold Project and Andes Gold Project in Colombia's Mid-Cauca belt.</a> Valks wrote that the final payment totaled AU$4.5 million, bringing total staged cash payments to AU$7.5 million. He noted that an additional AU$6.5 million cash payment remained tied to production milestones, along with a 1% net smelter return royalty on future gold production from Quinchía that is subject to a buyback option. Discussing recent developments at the project, Valks wrote that recent news had included "long gold intercepts at Tesorito, Ceibal, and Dos Quebradas," an upsized financing, and full ownership of the project package. He stated that "more control means fewer moving parts as Tiger works toward resource growth, future studies, and the next phase of development." Valks also highlighted the scale of ongoing field activity, writing that the company had "more than 160 employees and contractors working at Quinchía, with three rigs currently turning." The report discussed community initiatives in the region, noting that the company had highlighted social programs and a medical clinic providing pre-natal care and dental check-ups. Valks wrote that such efforts helped build local trust and employee loyalty while supporting project advancement. Concluding his assessment, Valks stated that "Tiger has the project, the rigs, the funding, and the local footprint," adding that the stock remained a Buy. He also disclosed that both he and Jeff Clark held long positions in the company, with Clark looking to add another tranche. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Quinchia Work Programs and Project Activities</h2> <a href="https://tigergoldco.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Tiger-Gold-Presentation-Q1-2026-FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tiger Gold's Q1 2026 corporate presentation states that Phase 1 drilling at the Quinchia Gold Project commenced in October 2025 and includes a 10,000-meter drill program targeting extension, discovery, and resource definition activities. Phase 2 is planned to commence in 2026.</a> According to the presentation, extension drilling is intended to test mineral resource expansion at depth at Miraflores and expansion at depth and along strike at Tesorito. Planned infill drilling at Tesorito is focused on increasing confidence in the existing inferred mineral resource. The company also outlined exploration drilling activities intended to examine potential links between Tesorito and Ceibal at depth, verify the Dos Quebradas geological model and scale, and characterize mineralized envelopes at Ceibal and Chuscal. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11516] The presentation identifies several primary objectives for the 2026 work program, including expanding mineral resources, verifying the historical Dos Quebradas estimate, testing nearby targets, increasing confidence in the Tesorito mineral resource through infill drilling, refining geological models with new drill data, evaluating how potential resource expansion may affect preliminary economic assessment assumptions, and generating technical data to support future prefeasibility-level studies. Additional 2025/26 programs outlined by the company include 4,000 meters of infill drilling, up to 10,000 meters of extension drilling, and up to 6,000 meters of exploration drilling. Planned regional exploration activities include mapping, rock-chip sampling, trenching, and resurveying historical collars, while engineering and environmental, social, and governance activities include baseline studies, community engagement, metallurgical test work, mine engineering studies, and tailings facility design. The presentation also describes planned drilling at several targets. At Dos Quebradas, the company reported that relogging of historical core, field mapping, trenching, geological interpretation work, and historical core resampling had been completed, with 1,000 meters of drilling planned in 2026. At Ceibal and Chuscal, Tiger Gold outlined plans for up to 4,000 meters of drilling at each target during 2026. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership & Share Structure1</h2> Tiger Gold Corp. has a market cap of CA$74.23 million, with 104.18 million shares outstanding.

(ZAU:TSX.V; ZAU:XFRA; ZAUIF:OTCQB)</a> is moving forward with an expanded financing round that positions the company to advance larger exploration land packages in West Africa. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Gold Market Offers Supportive Backdrop for Junior Explorers</h2> Gold continues to serve as a traditional safe-haven asset that investors often turn to during periods of geopolitical tension and economic uncertainty. A recent pullback from record levels has created a more attractive entry environment for companies actively exploring high-potential ground. The metal traded at US$4,063.50 an ounce on June 11, 2026, after reaching <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/commodities/articles/gold-investors-tough-luck-news-202300207.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a high of US$5,000 per ounce in January</a>. Analysts note that central-bank buying and ongoing geopolitical risk continue to provide a price floor, as highlighted by <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/04/copper-gold-market-outlook-2026-prices-supply-mining-costs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S&P Global</a>. The World Bank forecasts a 17 percent rise in global metals prices for 2026, marking the first broad-based increase since 2022, according to <a href="https://www.recyclingtoday.com/news/world-bank-base-precious-metals-price-increases-2026-forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Taylor of Recycling Today</a>. This macro environment favors well-managed exploration companies that can deliver results on large land positions. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Zodiac Gold Stands Out Among Junior Gold Explorers</h2> Zodiac Gold focuses exclusively on Liberia, a jurisdiction described as politically stable with an expedited permitting process and strong government support for mining. The company holds 2,316 square kilometers of licenses, giving it substantial scale compared with many single-project peers. This large footprint allows systematic exploration across multiple targets rather than reliance on one discovery zone. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Expanded Financing Supports Larger Drill Program</h2> The company announced an increase in its <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!ZAU-3830560/C/ZAU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously announced</a> non-brokered private placement, citing strong investor demand in a <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!ZAU-3830560/C/ZAU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">June 9, 2026, Stockwatch article</a>. Gross proceeds will rise from CA$4,025,000 to CA$5,000,000. The offering is expected to close by June 19, 2026, or sooner. Proceeds will fund an expanded drill program at the Todi Gold project, broader exploration across the license package, and general working capital. Under the increased terms, Zodiac will issue up to 14,285,714 units at CA$0.35 each. Every unit includes one common share plus one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant allows the holder to buy one additional share at CA$0.54 for up to two years. The warrants carry an acceleration clause: if the 30-day volume-weighted average price exceeds CA$0.65 after the initial four-month hold period, the company can shorten the exercise window to 30 days. Some level of insider participation is anticipated, aligning management interests with those of new investors. A private placement is a common financing method in which shares are sold directly to selected investors rather than through a broad public offering. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Assets and 2026 Exploration Catalysts</h2> The Todi Gold Project lies along the 16-kilometer Monterra Trend, stretching from the Arthington discovery to Youth Camp. The 2026 exploration program calls for <a href="https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/298759" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3,600m of trenching and 14,000m of diamond drilling, which is being completed</a> on this trend. A drone-based magnetic and LiDAR survey is also underway to sharpen drill targeting ahead of a planned mineral resource estimate, or MRE, which is a formal calculation of contained gold based on drilling data. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-10927] In the second half of 2026, the company will follow up on a 10,500-sample soil geochemical program covering the Bomi South and Bong West licenses. Positive results could lead to additional mapping, trenching, and drilling. These systematic steps help convert early-stage targets into drill-ready prospects. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Perspective and Valuation Context</h2> 1On May 20, 2026, technical analyst <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/05/20/bullish-charts-for-liberian-gold-explorer-with-near-surface-high-grade-gold.html?m_t=2026_05_20_11_18_31&utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stewart Thomson gave Zodiac a "Speculative Buy" rating</a>, with a short-term price target of CA$0.45, a medium-term target of CA$0.75, and a long-term technical target of CA$1.00. Thomson observed that early results appear to highlight significant potential for the project.

Unveils Robust PEA for Massive Brazil Gold Project https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/06/12/gold-co-unveils-robust-pea-for-massive-brazil-gold-project.html Source: <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/06/12/gold-co-unveils-robust-pea-for-massive-brazil-gold-project.html?utm_medium=feed">Streetwise Reports 06/15/2026</a> GoldMining Inc. (GOLD:TSX; GLDG:NYSE.American) announces the results of a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for its So Jorge Project in Par State, Brazil. GoldMining Inc. (GOLD:TSX; GLDG:NYSE.American) announced the results of a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for its São Jorge Project, situated in Pará State, Brazil, <a href="https://www.goldmining.com/news/index.php?content_id=721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a June 11 release</a>. The base case scenario outlined in the PEA demonstrates robust economics, featuring an after-tax net present value (NPV5%) of US$532 million and an after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 42.4%, based on a gold price of US$3,500 per ounce, the release said. The project is expected to achieve payback within 2.8 years from the start of production. Additionally, the project shows significant leverage to gold prices. At current spot prices of US$4,400 per ounce, the after-tax NPV5% escalates to US$836.8 million, with an IRR of 58.6% and an even shorter initial payback period of 2.4 years. "The São Jorge PEA marks a significant milestone in the advancement of our corporate strategy," Chief Executive Officer Alastair Still said. "By combining a manageable US$202 million initial capital investment with a robust US$532 million base case NPV5%, we have outlined a highly efficient, construction-track asset on a regional-scale property that retains significant exploration potential for additional resource growth." Still continued, "More than just a standalone project, the PEA highlights that São Jorge has the potential for resilient margins and rapid payback potential to become a cornerstone self-funding asset for us. With robust economics, we look forward to rapidly advancing and de-risking the Project with permitting and pre-feasibility studies to unlock further value across our gold-focused multi-million-ounce Americas portfolio." The São Jorge Project boasts high capital efficiency with an initial capital estimate of US$202 million, which includes a 25% contingency, the company said. This positions the project with an attractive base case NPV5% to an initial capital ratio of 2.6x. The project benefits from its strategic location, which is adjacent to existing infrastructure such as power lines, paved highways, and is near a skilled workforce, all of which contribute to the relatively low capital requirement. GoldMining said its strong financial position is underscored by its balance sheet, which includes approximately US$183 million in cash and publicly traded securities. This financial backing is crucial as the company plans to advance the São Jorge Project through its next development phases. The PEA also forecasts that the São Jorge Project will be a significant generator of internal free cash flow. It anticipates a stable gold production profile averaging about 51,250 ounces annually over a 10.6-year mine life, with peak production reaching 57,200 ounces per year during the second to fourth years. Furthermore, the project is expected to maintain a resilient cost profile with a projected life of mine All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) of US$1,464 per ounce, ensuring robust estimated margins throughout its operational life. <h2 style="text-align: center;">More on the São Jorge Project</h2> The São Jorge Project is strategically located in the southeastern part of Pará State, Brazil, near significant infrastructure, including the regional highway BR-163, GoldMining said. The current mineral resource estimate forms the basis for the PEA, which anticipates an average mining rate of 27,000 tonnes per day over a 10.6-year mine life. The planned operations include extensive on-site development such as mining facilities, process facilities, and necessary infrastructure. In terms of production, the PEA estimates that the highest metal production will occur in the first five years, averaging 53.4 thousand ounces of gold annually, with a life-of-mine average annual production of 51.2 thousand ounces. Sustaining capital expenditures over the life of the mine are projected at about US$53 million, and closure costs are estimated at US$12 million. The São Jorge gold deposit is characterized as a granite-hosted, intrusion-related gold mineral system, similar to nearby significant gold projects, the company said. Over the past two years, exploration activities by the company have successfully identified several new exploration targets within a large mineral system that shows potential for further resource growth. The company said it continues to prepare for the next stages of development, including further drilling and resource evaluation, to solidify São Jorge's position in its portfolio. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Maintains Buy Rating</h2> According to an updated research note by Red Cloud Analyst Ron Stewart on June 12, the company's portfolio includes seven wholly-owned resource projects and a 74.2% equity stake in US GoldMining Inc (USGO:NASDAQ), with the combined assets estimated to contain about 30 million ounces (Moz) of gold equivalent. Despite São Jorge's relatively modest size, this PEA positions it prominently within GoldMining's strategy to enhance the value of its high-quality asset portfolio. 'We believe São Jorge can be advanced to construction over a 3.5-year period and model first production early in 2032," Stewart wrote. "The company intends to initiate pre-feasibility studies immediately to further de-risk the project." Stewart continued, "Our valuation for São Jorge is based on a long-term gold price of US$3,000/oz. We apply a CAD:US exchange rate of 0.72. We model a 5,500 tpd (tonnes per day) operation in line with the PEA and assume the initial US$205 million capex (RCS estimate) to be financed by 70% debt and 30% equity. We calculate São Jorge’s NPV5% at US$287 million. The difference is explained by our lower gold price assumption, in addition to the time value discount. Using the PEA price with no time delay, our NPV increases to ~US$500 million, in line with the PEA." Stewart maintained a Buy rating on the stock and raised its target price to CA$3.90 per share. The net asset value is calculated at CA$2,817, or CA$10.98 per share, applying a 0.35x multiple to account for risks and uncertainties. Looking ahead, GMI anticipates several catalysts that could further enhance the project's value, including ongoing exploration results from São Jorge and Yarumalito, updates from US GoldMining, and continuous reviews of its asset portfolio. These developments are expected to solidify São Jorge's position as a cornerstone project within the company's broader strategy. <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/gldg/forecast/">According to the website StockAnalysis</a>, H.C. Wainwright Analyst Heiko Ihle also has a Buy rating on the stock with a CA$3.75 target price, and Joseph Reagor of Roth MKM also rates it a Buy with CA$3.50 target price. <h2 style="text-align: center;">The Catalyst: Will Gold's Bull Market Continue?</h2> In 2025, gold prices reached unprecedented heights multiple times, but the trend has shifted to greater volatility since the end of that year, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-will-happen-gold-prices-inflation-stays-elevated-2026-experts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported Aly J. Yale for CBS News MoneyWatch on June 11</a>. Although gold set a new record in January, the prices for the rest of the year fluctuated significantly, ranging from US$4,300 to US$5,500 per ounce. Several factors have contributed to this instability. The ongoing war in Iran has led to rising gas prices, which in turn have diverted potential investment funds from American consumers. Additionally, persistently high interest rates have attracted some investors towards products offering better returns, Yale wrote. Inflation has also been a contributing factor, reaching its highest level in over three years, as per the latest data. Despite the reduced purchasing power for Americans due to inflation, gold continues to be seen as a valuable asset for preserving wealth, especially as the value of the U.S. dollar declines. Hiren Chandaria, managing director at Monetary Metals, noted, "Gold has preserved purchasing power over very long periods of time. It has long been viewed as a hedge against inflation." The ongoing high inflation raises questions about whether it will drive gold prices higher. Experts believe that if the U.S. inflation rate remains elevated, it is likely to sustain or even increase gold prices. According to the report, Chandaria explained that in an inflationary environment, investors often seek assets that maintain value outside the banking system and fiat currencies, which boosts demand for gold. This demand comes particularly from long-term savers and investors looking to diversify away from financial assets that might be affected by higher rates, weaker currencies, or declining real returns.[OWNERSHIP_CHART-9860] This increased demand is expected to push gold prices higher if it continues throughout the year. According to the CBS piece, Thomas Winmill, a portfolio manager at Midas Funds, predicts, "We expect gold to finish the 2026 year up about 10% from here, so in the US$5,000 per ounce range." This projection underscores the potential for gold to remain a strong investment in the face of ongoing economic uncertainties. <a href="https://www.fxempire.com/forecasts/article/gold-price-forecast-expect-one-more-shakeout-before-bottoming-in-june-1603221" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to A.G. Thorson writing for FX Empire on June 8</a>, gold had closed below its 200-day moving average and erased all of its gains for 2026. The Gold Cycle Indicator fell to 71, its lowest reading since September 2023. "We are now at a point in the cycle where prices could drop a bit further, but that outcome is not guaranteed," Thorson wrote. "From a longer-term perspective, I believe this move below the 200-day moving average will ultimately be viewed as an attractive entry opportunity," Thorson continued. "In 2006, gold traded below its 200-day moving average for just over a month before resuming its uptrend and rallying more than 220% over the following five years. If a similar advance were to occur from current levels, gold could approach US$14,000 by 2031." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> About 5% of the company is owned by insiders and management, about 13% by institutions, and the rest is retail. Its market cap is US$202.65 million with 214 million shares outstanding. It trades in a 52-week range of US$0.72 and US$2.26. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Steve Sobek wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

Silver in particular benefits from both its monetary appeal and growing industrial applications in electric vehicles, solar energy, and data infrastructure. These trends create a favorable backdrop for companies actively expanding historic mineral systems in stable jurisdictions. Metalsource Mining Inc. (MSM:CSE; SFRIF:OTC; E9Z:FSE) is focused on redeveloping past-producing assets in North Carolina, beginning with the Silver Hill system. The 1,225-acre property sits on volcaniclastic rocks and hosted the first silver-producing mine in the United States. Recent drilling has delivered multiple step-out intercepts that extend known mineralization along strike and at depth, underscoring the polymetallic character of the system. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Silver Hill Stands Out for Investors</h2> Step-out drilling tests extensions beyond previously known zones, helping define the overall scale of a deposit. At Silver Hill, this approach has produced consistent silver and gold values paired with elevated lead, zinc, and copper content. Such polymetallic mineralization (containing several economically important metals in one system) can improve project economics by generating multiple revenue streams from a single operation. Drill hole SH26-10, located 10 meters south of an earlier intercept, returned 4.6 meters of mineralization grading 147 grams per tonne silver together with 31 percent combined lead-zinc. Hole SH26-11, a 45-meter down-dip extension, delivered 19 grams per tonne gold, 92 grams per tonne silver, and 37 percent combined lead-zinc. Further down-dip tests in holes SH26-15 and SH26-16 continued to expand the mineralized envelope roughly 315 meters below surface while returning strong gold, silver, and base-metal values. Additional intercepts from holes SH25-03 and SH25-04 identified near-surface mineralization 150 meters north of the historic inclined shaft, confirming the system remains open along trend. These results collectively illustrate both grade continuity and geometric expansion potential. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Market Context Supporting Precious Metals</h2> Geopolitical developments, including concerns over energy costs and inflation, have kept investor focus on gold and silver. <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/gold-muted-as-traders-weigh-iran-truce-prospects-hot-us-inflation-4715889" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investing.com</a> noted that higher oil prices linked to Middle East tensions could sustain restrictive monetary policy, supporting safe-haven demand. Spot gold recently traded near US$4,210.10 while silver hovered around US$67.03, reflecting modest daily movements within a broader upward structural trend. Earlier in the year, gold reached a record high of US$5,000 per ounce, and analysts anticipate further gains once near-term uncertainties ease. <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/04/copper-gold-market-outlook-2026-prices-supply-mining-costs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S&P Global wrote</a> that central-bank buying and geopolitical risk should maintain a price floor. Silver's industrial demand tailwinds are equally notable: <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/silver-price-predictions-what-should-investors-expect-over-the-next-decade-130000645.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yahoo Finance</a> cited forecasts from major institutions projecting prices above US$80 per ounce by the end of 2026 and potentially US$100 by 2030. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Management Perspective on Ongoing Expansion</h2> <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!MSM-3831007/C/MSM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CEO of Metalsource, Joe Cullen, said in the release</a>: "These results continue to demonstrate what we are seeing across the Silver Hill system: consistent silver and gold values accompanied by exceptionally strong lead and zinc grades. The combination of precious metals and base metals is becoming a defining characteristic of the project and continues to support the broader scale and continuity of the mineralized system. What is particularly encouraging about Hole 11 is not simply the high-grade interval, but the strength of the broader mineralized package. Multiple stacked high-grade zones, combined with substantial lead-zinc content throughout the interval, provide further evidence of continuity within the system and reinforce our confidence in the potential to continue expanding mineralization along strike and at depth." Cullen added that the company is successfully extending the system in multiple directions while numerous assays remain pending, positioning Metalsource in the early stages of delineating the full opportunity at Silver Hill. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Second Asset and Corporate Overview</h2> The company also holds the Byrd-Pilot Mountain project in central North Carolina, where historical data is guiding a Phase 1 drill program of approximately 300-500 meters. An additional early-stage exploration project is located in Botswana. Metalsource's strategy centers on expanding mineralization footprints around past-producing sites in North America. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11513] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure and Ownership Profile</h2> Metalsource Mining Inc. carries a market capitalization of CA$113.20 million based on 72.90 million shares outstanding. The 52-week trading range spans CA$0.11 to CA$2.29. 1Strategic investors hold 26 percent of the shares, management and insiders control 3 percent, and retail investors account for the remaining 71 percent. Independent commentary from Bob Moriarty of 321gold.com highlighted the strength of recent intercepts, noting 434 grams per tonne silver equivalent over 10.64 meters, including a 2,050 grams per tonne silver equivalent interval over 1.52 meters, and emphasized the steady news flow expected from pending assays. According to the company's <a href="https://www.metalsourcemining.com/assets/pdf/presentations/msm_presentation_may.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investor presentation</a>, Phase 2 drilling at Silver Hill is advancing aggressively. Investors should note that exploration results do not guarantee future economic viability and that additional work is required to define resources. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Positioning for Continued News Flow</h2> With multiple step-out holes still awaiting assay and two projects moving forward, Metalsource offers retail investors exposure to an expanding historic silver district at a time when industrial and investment demand for silver remains structurally supported. The combination of precious-metal and base-metal credits, coupled with ongoing drilling success, provides a clear pathway for further evaluation of the Silver Hill system's potential scale. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee. </li> <li> This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

(MSM:CSE; SFRIF:OTC; E9Z:FSE) uncovers high-grade silver, gold, and polymetallic mineralization at Silver Hill in North Carolina, expanding America's first silver mine.On June 10, 2026, Metalsource Mining Inc. (MSM:CSE; SFRIF:OTC; E9Z:FSE) announced <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!MSM-3831007/C/MSM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">positive assay results</a> from its ongoing exploration program at the Silver Hill system in Davidson County, North Carolina, USA. This property comprises 1,225 acres and is underlain by volcaniclastic rocks, hosting the first silver-producing mine in the U.S. Drill hole highlights include: SH26-10: 10m south step out from SH26-05, overall mineralization widens to 4.6m (meters). Assay highlights include: 147g/t silver with 31% combined lead-zinc. SH26-11: 45m down-dip extension below SH26-10, and 18m southern step out from SH26-07. Assay highlights include: 19g/t gold, 92g/t silver, and 37% combined lead-zinc. SH26-15: 44m down-dip extension below SH26-08, extends mineralization approximately 315m below surface. Assay highlights include: 8g/t gold, 16% combined lead-zinc, and 5% copper. SH26-16: 40m down-dip extension below SH26-08, and 17m north step out from SH26-15.

Assay highlights from SH25-04 include: 103g/t silver and 10% combined lead-zinc. Metalsource believes these results demonstrate the robust polymetallic nature of the system, with strong silver and gold grades accompanied by lead and zinc mineralization. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!MSM-3831007/C/MSM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CEO of Metalsource, Joe Cullen, said in the release</a>: "These results continue to demonstrate what we are seeing across the Silver Hill system: consistent silver and gold values accompanied by exceptionally strong lead and zinc grades.

Multiple stacked high-grade zones, combined with substantial lead-zinc content throughout the interval, provide further evidence of continuity within the system and reinforce our confidence in the potential to continue expanding mineralization along strike and at depth." Cullen went on to say, "Perhaps most importantly, these results come from continued step-out drilling designed to test extensions of known mineralization. We are successfully expanding the system in multiple directions, while a significant number of assays remain pending from the current campaign. As exploration momentum continues to build, we believe we remain in the early stages of understanding the broader opportunity Silver Hill may represent." Investors should know that the company considers Silver Hill to be a mine redevelopment story, in which the goal is to expand the footprint of America's first producing silver mine. Metalsource promises a steady flow of news to come as pending assay results are received. The company has a second project, the Byrd-Pilot Mountain project, in central North Carolina, and is using historical essays to create a drilling program to gather samples. A Canadian company, Metalsource, focuses on exploration within North Carolina in the U.S., intending to expand mineralization from past-producing projects. The company also has an exploratory project in Botswana. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Precious Metals Staying Afloat During War</h2> Silver, like other metals, is vulnerable to fears of inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, as has been evidenced by the ongoing war between the U.S. and Iran. <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/gold-muted-as-traders-weigh-iran-truce-prospects-hot-us-inflation-4715889" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investing.com</a> discussed how these tensions are affecting the metals markets, saying, "In the current environment, investors are increasingly worried that higher oil and energy costs linked to the Middle East crisis could fuel broader inflation pressures, forcing the Federal Reserve to maintain restrictive monetary policy." Often immune to stock fluctuations due to its critical usage needs, renewed suspicion of U.S. tariffs on China's copper exports has also caused the rates to drop. A strong U.S. dollar, a good employment report, and the 10-year Treasury yield holding strong have also created bad news for spot gold prices. The gold market opened lower on June 12, 2026. Spot gold was trading down <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-06-12/gold-holds-above-4200-hormuz-risk-premium-unwinds-kitco-am-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">0.04% at US$4,210.10</a> after taking a tumble over the past week. Silver was down <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-06-12/gold-holds-above-4200-hormuz-risk-premium-unwinds-kitco-am-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">0.49% at US$67.03</a>. Gold surged to a record high earlier in the year, hitting <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/commodities/articles/gold-investors-tough-luck-news-202300207.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a high of US$5,000 per ounce in January</a>, and many expect the rally to resume once international conflict cools down. In April, <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/04/copper-gold-market-outlook-2026-prices-supply-mining-costs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S&P Global wrote</a>, "Gold is expected to remain volatile but structurally supported, with central bank demand and geopolitical risk helping to establish a price floor above recent correction lows." Silver has been following the same trend closely. With its industrial usage, silver is more than a speculative buy, even with its vulnerability. Higher demand from electric cars, solar panels, data centers, and more is shoring up silver's future demand. <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/silver-price-predictions-what-should-investors-expect-over-the-next-decade-130000645.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yahoo Finance</a> quoted experts from both BlackRock and J.P. Morgan as saying, " By the end of 2026, experts predict silver's price will surpass US$80 per ounce, and it could reach US$100 per ounce by 2030." Despite the volatility of gold, the sector as a whole is only showing signs of improvement. On May 7, 2026, <a href="https://www.recyclingtoday.com/news/world-bank-base-precious-metals-price-increases-2026-forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Taylor of Recycling Today said</a> that the World Bank Group has predicted that overall global metals prices will rise by 17% in 2026, which would mark the first overall market increase since 2022.

Gold and silver prices have shown resilience, supported by ongoing global demand factors, and companies with active exploration programs in key regions stand to benefit from this environment. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Trinity One Metals Stands Out in the Current Climate</h2> Trinity One Metals Ltd. (TOM: TSXV; ARJNF:OTC) has emerged as a focused explorer with operations spanning Ecuador and Mongolia. The company is actively advancing two distinct projects that provide diversification across different geological settings and regulatory environments, allowing investors to gain exposure to both silver and gold potential through a single vehicle. Retail investors often look for companies that combine historical data with modern technical work. Trinity One is doing exactly that by moving from legacy information at its Silver-1 site into structured fieldwork that can generate new drill targets and resource estimates. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Assets and Recent Technical Progress</h2> At the Silver-1 project in Ecuador, located in the historic silver district of San Bartolomé, the company has completed a three-dimensional mapping program. This modern mapping supports planned sampling, geophysical surveys, future drilling, and environmental planning. The focus now rests on systematic evaluation of tailings and waste rock areas while advancing toward an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate, a Canadian standard that outlines standards for disclosure of mineral project information. Initial tailings samples returned 132.82 g/t silver and 0.58 g/t gold, along with 118.47 g/t silver and 0.50 g/t gold. Waste rock sampling from the historic mine area produced results including 405.27 g/t silver and 3.07 g/t gold. These early results are broadly consistent with older 2007 data, providing a foundation for expanded work. At the Victory project in Mongolia, a three-hole diamond drilling campaign totaling approximately 600 meters has been completed. Core samples have been logged, sampled, and submitted for analysis, with assay results expected soon. This work tests targets previously identified through geological, geochemical, and geophysical surveys. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!TOM-3831019/C/TOM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thomas Wood, CEO of TOM, said</a> in the release: "Silver-1 is moving from historical review into modern field execution. Initial silver results from the tailings material are encouraging, particularly as the results received to date are broadly consistent with the historical 2007 sampling data. The company is moving beyond initial sampling toward a systematic 15-meter by 15-meter tailings program designed to test the grade, thickness, and continuity of the material across the tailings area. This work will give us a much clearer understanding of the scale, grade distribution, and potential pathways to realize future value from the tailings. In Mongolia, we are pleased to have completed our three-hole diamond drilling campaign at Victory. We now have two active technical workstreams across the portfolio, with assay results pending from Victory and further fieldwork expected from Silver-1." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing and Broader Market Trends</h2> Gold remains a safe haven asset but is still vulnerable to fears of inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, as has been evidenced by the ongoing war between the U.S. and Iran. <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/gold-muted-as-traders-weigh-iran-truce-prospects-hot-us-inflation-4715889" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investing.com</a> discussed how these tensions are affecting the metals markets, saying, "In the current environment, investors are increasingly worried that higher oil and energy costs linked to the Middle East crisis could fuel broader inflation pressures, forcing the Federal Reserve to maintain restrictive monetary policy." Often immune to stock fluctuations due to its critical usage needs, renewed suspicion of U.S. tariffs on China's copper exports has also caused the rates to drop. A strong U.S. dollar, a good employment report, and the 10-year Treasury yield holding strong have also created bad news for spot gold prices. The gold market opened lower on June 12, 2026.

(ALGR:TSX.V) launches Phase II of its exploration program at its 100%-owned Adelita Project in Sonora, Mexico. Find out why some experts like this explorer.<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/11488?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Algo Grande Copper Corp. (ALGR:TSX.V)</a> has officially launched the second phase of its exploration program at its 100%-owned Adelita Project in Sonora, Mexico, <a href="https://algo-grande.com/news/algo-grande-copper-commences-phase-ii-drill-program-at-adelita-project" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a June 12 release</a>. The first drill hole, labeled AG_GC_PH2_001, was started by Major Drilling Group International Inc. on June 9, at the Cerro Grande Copper-Silver-Gold (Cu-Ag-Au) skarn target, aiming for a depth of 500 meters. This particular drill hole is strategically designed to extend the known Cerro Grande skarn discovery by 100 meters to the north of where the initial phase of drilling concluded. The exploration plan includes drilling additional holes that will further expand the discovery southward and northwestward, the company said. This expansion follows a 2.5-kilometer corridor that has been delineated through magnetic surveys, soil geochemistry, and geological mapping. The comprehensive 8,000-meter drilling program not only aims to enlarge the Cerro Grande discovery along this corridor but also includes initial drilling efforts at the Cerro Potrero South skarn and Las Trancas epithermal targets. This ambitious campaign aims to significantly expand the scope of historical drilling on the property. The primary objective is to further develop the high-grade Cerro Grande skarn discovery and to explore additional targets within the extensive mineral system. "The Phase II drill program marks a major step as it will effectively double historical drilling completed on the Adelita project to date," Chief Executive Officer Enrico Gay said at the time the campaign was announced in May. "The new drone magnetic survey has defined a 2.5-kilometer target corridor surrounding the Cerro Grande discovery, giving us a clear pathway to potentially grow the footprint significantly. At the same time, maiden drill programs at Las Trancas and Cerro Potrero provide exposure to entirely new discovery opportunities across the broader Adelita district." Phase II objectives include focusing on significant expansion and exploration across three key areas, <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/06/01/copper-co-expands-massive-sonora-mexico-discovery.html?utm_medium=feed">the company has said</a>. The first objective involves the expansion of the Cerro Grande Skarn, where recent drilling has confirmed a substantial, high-grade multi-horizon skarn system. Notable assay results from this area include 36.00 meters grading above 1% copper and 14.79 meters grading 1.4% copper within a broader mineralized interval. The second objective is the Cerro Potrero South Maiden Diamond Drilling Program. Initial surface work in this area has uncovered copper-gold-silver skarn mineralization extending approximately 300 meters in strike length, aligning with a strong magnetic anomaly detected by new survey data. From this area, 14 rock samples have shown copper mineralization, including three samples with over 1% copper and four samples with over 1 gram per tonne gold, with peak values reaching 3.06% copper, 3.72 grams per tonne gold, and 232 grams per tonne silver. The third objective focuses on the Las Trancas Epithermal System Maiden Diamond Drill Program. Sampling efforts at Las Trancas have resulted in exceptionally high-grade silver, copper, and gold values from surface mineralization and historical workings. Notably, three out of four samples returned grades above 1% copper, including peak values of 41.4% copper, 2 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, and 1,570 g/t silver from a selective stockpile sample. The drilling activities will aim to test and expand mineralization across all three targeted areas. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Several Key Investor Points</h2> Algo Grande has highlighted several key investor points in its latest communications, <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/04/02/copper-corp-advances-high-grade-porphyry-skarn-system-led-by-young-innovative-team.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a contributed opinion piece for Streetwise Reports by Robert Sinn of Goldfinger Capital on April 2</a>. These include the confirmation of high-grade copper mineralization through maiden drilling, with notable results such as 14.79 meters at 1.4% CuEq and 1.85 meters at 4.1% Cu along with 11 g/t Au and 150 g/t Ag. The discovery of multiple high-grade skarn systems along a 6-kilometer mineralized corridor underscores the significant scale potential beyond the initial discovery zone, Sinn said. Additionally, geological indicators suggest the presence of a potential copper porphyry source beneath Cerro Grande, adding a layer of large-scale upside. The company has also identified clear expansion targets through detailed drone magnetic surveys, which have pinpointed magnetite-rich skarn horizons, Sinn noted. These findings provide well-defined step-out drill targets for the upcoming Phase II program. Furthermore, Algo Grande benefits from tier-one technical backing, with support from industry experts Peter Megaw of MAG Silver and Raymond Jannas of ATEX Resources. Their proven track records in discovery, development, and mergers and acquisitions significantly de-risk exploration activities and enhance the strategic upside for Algo Grande Copper Corp. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst: Performance Strong Compared to CDNX Index</h2> 1<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/02/17/a-phase-two-copper-gold-drill-program-and-bullish-charts-is-it-time-to-buy.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a review of the stock by Technical Analyst Stewart Thomson on February 17</a>, The company is leveraging cutting-edge technology and a world-class technical team, known for their roles in multiple billion-dollar discoveries, to responsibly develop and rapidly advance resource definition, aiming to create substantial value for its stakeholders. The company's leadership includes CEO Enrico Gay, a seasoned capital markets professional who played a pivotal role in reactivating Kenadyr as Algo Grande Copper Corp. and acquiring the flagship Adelita project. Dr. Peter Megaw, a globally recognized CRD expert and co-founder of MAG Silver, serves as a strategic advisor. Megaw's firm, Megaw Exploration Associates (MXA), provides comprehensive support from geological modeling and target generation to drill planning and project evaluation. <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/msgsndr/swMGWXaKwe3UkfTcRNex/media/698bbe4801770769a7a72cac.mp4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An update video on the Adelita project by Dr. Megaw is available for viewing</a>. The geographical advantages of Sonora, where the project is located, include proximity to the U.S. market, existing infrastructure such as roads and power, and nearby shipping ports — all factors that significantly reduce production costs, Thomson noted. From a technical analysis perspective, the stock showed signs of bullish momentum with a significant bull wedge and bullish divergence noted in both the RSI and Stochastics oscillators, he said. The next news announcement could potentially trigger a breakout and surge towards a short-term target zone of CA$1. The stock's performance has been notably strong compared to the CDNX index since the acquisition of Adelita and the company's name change, the analyst said. <h2 style="text-align: center;">The Catalyst: Copper Stocks Rally Over War News</h2> Copper and copper mining stocks experienced a pre-market rally on Friday, buoyed by the potential resolution of the U.S.-Iran conflict that has loomed over the global economy, <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4602932-copper-prices-and-miners-rise-on-potential-us-iran-deal-that-could-lift-global-demand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by Carl Surran for Seeking Alpha on June 12</a>. President Donald Trump indicated that a deal could be finalized within days, enhancing investor optimism. Additionally, Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency reported on a 14-point draft deal, which includes the potential reopening of the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz, although it noted that the agreement still awaits approval from Iranian authorities. In response to these developments, shares of major copper mining companies saw significant pre-market increases, the report said. Freeport-McMoRan was up 1.6% after a 6.8% surge on Thursday, Southern Copper increased by 1.2% following an 8.6% jump the previous day, and Teck Resources rose by 1.7% after a 6.1% gain in the last session. In the commodities market, benchmark copper futures recently traded up 1.5% at US$13,690 per ton on the London Metal Exchange, with zinc and nickel also posting gains of 1.6% and 0.8%, respectively. Jia Zheng, a trading manager at Suzhou Chuangyuan Harmony-Win Capital Management, commented to Bloomberg that a more stable macroeconomic environment could propel prices back to levels seen earlier in the year. Zheng also noted that China's domestic copper inventories have been declining while orders from downstream manufacturers remain robust. Analysts at Jefferies have expressed increasing optimism about the long-term demand prospects for copper, issuing a bullish upgrade to their copper forecasts earlier this week, Surran wrote. This sentiment is further supported by Beijing's plan to invest approximately 2 trillion yuan (US$295 billion) over the next five years in nationwide computing networks, reinforcing the bullish demand outlook for copper. Copper prices, although slightly off from their recent record highs, continue to trade at historically elevated levels, <a href="https://goldinvest.de/en/major-squeeze-in-the-commodities-sector-analysts-significantly-raise-copper-price-forecasts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by Björn Junker for GoldInvest.de on June 8</a>. In a move contrary to typical market skepticism during such phases, both Goldman Sachs and Citigroup have revised their copper price forecasts upward. This adjustment is attributed to a combination of weaker mining supply and unusually tight inventory levels, which are contributing to sustained market tightness beyond just a cyclical increase in demand.[OWNERSHIP_CHART-11488] Goldman Sachs has notably increased its year-end copper price target by more than 10%, raising it from US$12,465 to US$13,735 per ton. Citigroup has adopted an even more bullish stance, suggesting that prices could reach US$14,500 in the short term and potentially US$15,000 within a year, Junker reported. This optimistic outlook is supported by copper's performance, which has seen a 10% increase since the beginning of the year, outpacing gold. Both banks emphasize that this potential for further price increases is not due to speculative euphoria but rather reflects a fundamental imbalance between the metal available and the actual global demand. On the supply side, significant disruptions have been noted. Goldman Sachs has revised its global copper production forecast downwards by 350,000 tons due to issues at major mining sites, the report said. Additionally, there are notable shifts in global commodity flows, particularly affecting the U.S. market. Driven by significant price differentials, there has been a marked increase in copper imports into the U.S., with volumes in the first half of 2026 significantly exceeding expectations and anticipated to grow even further in the coming months. As a result, Goldman Sachs now projects that the copper deficit outside the U.S. will increase from an initially expected 60,000 tons to 640,000 tons. This dramatic escalation highlights the stark regional divergences in supply conditions across the global market. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Information2</h2> Algo Grande Copper Corp. has a market cap of CA$25.83 million, with 42.34 million shares outstanding.

(DEC:TSX.V)</a> stands out with a focused portfolio in British Columbia's prolific Golden Triangle region, where recent drill permits and high-grade sampling results position the company for meaningful exploration progress throughout 2026. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11512] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Decade Resources Captures Investor Attention Right Now</h2> Decade Resources Ltd. has secured drill permits on four properties, enabling an aggressive exploration strategy that targets both porphyry-style copper-gold-molybdenum systems and high-grade precious metals veins. This multi-project approach provides diversified upside within one of Canada's most productive mining districts, reducing single-asset risk while capitalizing on favorable permitting timelines. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Projects Driving 2026 Momentum</h2> The Bonaparte project, located approximately 50 kilometers north of Kamloops, British Columbia, spans 2,969.6 hectares across three mineral claims and features potential copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry mineralization. Following receipt of a drill permit from the Ministry of Mines, pending completion of an archaeological study, the company plans to test induced polarization anomalies extending from roughly 300 meters to beyond 500 meters depth while conducting concurrent geological mapping and rock sampling. Prior 2025 sampling returned standout results, including 1662 g/t Au and 0.88% Cu, 175.37 g/t Au and 2.267% Cu, 82.3 g/t Au and 1.548% Cu, and 15.02 g/t Au and 5.902% Cu. Further north, the North Mitchell project covers 963.45 hectares in the Skeena Mining Division, about 70 kilometers north of Stewart, British Columbia, within the Golden Triangle. The property hosts an estimated 201.67 million ounces of mineralization. 2025 sampling delivered high-grade intercepts such as 116.9 g/t Au, 161 g/t Ag, 3.01% Pb, and 5.6% Zn, along with 5.73 g/t Au and 12.74 g/t Ag, and 3.7559 g/t Au and 11.19 g/t Ag. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!DEC-3831423/C/DEC" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Several project updates</a> confirm the 2026 program will focus on sampling and prospecting all gossanous zones to better define the high-grade mineralization discovered the previous year. At the Nobody Knows project, 2024 boulder sampling identified gold-silver-base metal mineralization with elevated arsenic, bismuth, and cobalt values. The 2026 exploration program will expand coverage through soil sampling, additional silt sampling along streams, rock sampling, and a VLF electromagnetic survey over the boulder discovery area. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing and Structural Tailwinds</h2> Global demand for gold remains structurally supported as investors navigate inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions, including ongoing developments between the U.S. and Iran. <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/gold-muted-as-traders-weigh-iran-truce-prospects-hot-us-inflation-4715889" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investing.com</a> highlighted how higher energy costs could sustain restrictive monetary policy, yet gold continues to serve as a portfolio diversifier.

Investors seeking exposure to both metals are examining exploration companies that combine scale with steady news flow. Arras Minerals Corp. (ARK:TSX.V; ARRKF:OTCMKTS) is one such company, advancing a portfolio of copper-gold assets in Kazakhstan. Its Elemes project has become a focal point after recent drilling confirmed extensive porphyry-style mineralization over hundreds of meters. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Kazakhstan Assets Are Drawing Attention</h2> Kazakhstan offers a stable regulatory environment for mining and hosts several large porphyry systems. Porphyry deposits are large, low-to-medium grade mineralized bodies that can support long mine lives once delineated. Arras has concentrated its efforts along the 8.8-kilometer Berezski Trend, where multiple targets sit within a shared geological corridor. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Recent Drill Results Strengthen the Case for Scale</h2> Two holes released on June 9, 2026, from the Berezski North target returned substantial widths of copper-gold mineralization starting near surface. Hole EL26032 intersected 935.9 meters grading 0.71 percent copper equivalent, including a higher-grade interval of 214.9 meters at 1.42 percent copper equivalent. The hole ended in mineralization, indicating the system remains open at depth. A 55-meter breccia zone within that intercept graded 4.41 percent copper equivalent. Hole EL26033 added confirmation with 181 meters at 0.66 percent copper equivalent from 170 meters depth and a higher-grade 52-meter section at 1.75 percent copper equivalent. The hole continued into distal porphyry-style mineralization, further supporting the interpretation of a large mineralized system. These intercepts were obtained through <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!ARK-3830531/C/ARK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drill results</a> that tested shallow breccias and the underlying porphyry potential. Eight holes have now been completed at Berezski North, extending the known strike of high-grade breccias to more than 600 meters. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Multiple Targets Along an 8.8 km Trend</h2> The Berezski North target lies more than five kilometers north of the Berezski East and Berezski Central targets. Earlier drilling at those areas returned 115.7 meters grading 1.44 grams per tonne gold and 0.24 percent copper, and 261 meters grading 0.64 percent copper equivalent from surface, respectively. At the K-Ozek target on the eastern margin of the trend, historic Soviet-era trenching exposed quartz veins over two kilometers, with grab samples exceeding 5 grams per tonne gold. Current drilling at K-Ozek has intersected quartz-sulphide veins within broader stockwork zones. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Four Rigs Active in Expanded Program</h2> Arras currently operates four diamond drill rigs at the Elemes project as part of a 20,000-meter Phase 2 campaign. Two rigs are positioned at Berezski Central, one at the Novii target, and one at K-Ozek. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!ARK-3830531/C/ARK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the company</a>, six additional holes from Berezski North have assays pending. Once received, the company plans to return drills to test extensions along strike and at depth. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Market Context Supports Continued Exploration</h2> Copper prices have nearly doubled over the past two years because new mine supply cannot keep pace with demand from data centers, electric vehicles, and renewable energy infrastructure. Gold has also experienced volatility, yet remains structurally supported by central-bank buying and geopolitical risk. A May 29 article by <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/gold-muted-as-traders-weigh-iran-truce-prospects-hot-us-inflation-4715889" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investing.com</a> noted investor concerns over potential inflation from higher energy costs. The gold market opened on June 11, 2026, at <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-06-11/gold-silver-edge-lower-ppi-stays-hot-kitco-am-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$4,063.50 an ounce, down 0.19%</a>, after a weekly decline, though it had reached <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/commodities/articles/gold-investors-tough-luck-news-202300207.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a high of US$5,000 per ounce in January</a>.

The World Bank has forecast a 17 percent rise in global metals prices for 2026, marking the first broad increase since 2022. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-10880] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Commentary and Valuation</h2> On June 9, 2026, Oscar Norris of Hannam & Partners assigned a CA$1.80 price target to Arras, implying 114 percent upside. Norris highlighted the potential for follow-up drilling once pending assays are interpreted. Chen Lin of What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling? noted the significance of the 936-meter intercept and the company's progress at a project he has visited. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure and Capital Position</h2> Arras Minerals Corp. carries a market capitalization of CA$133.32 million based on 122.31 million shares outstanding. The 52-week trading range sits between CA$0.53 and CA$1.30. 1Institutions hold 23.66 percent of the shares, management and insiders own 5.26 percent, and retail investors account for the remaining 71.08 percent. This ownership mix provides both institutional validation and liquidity for retail participants. The company plans to expand its 2026 drill program to 30,000 meters, with completion targeted by year-end. With four rigs turning and multiple targets advancing in parallel, Arras is positioned to deliver a steady stream of results that could further define the scale of the Berezski Trend. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li> This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

Because the project processes existing tailings rather than excavating new ore, it offers a lower-impact development path while still targeting valuable metals that were not fully recovered in earlier operations. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Unique Two-Concentrate Flowsheet Offers Multiple Revenue Paths</h2> More than 110 metallurgical tests have guided the development of a conceptual two-concentrate flowsheet. In this approach, a bulk sulphide concentrate is first produced and then split into a high-grade pyrite concentrate and a separate base metal concentrate containing zinc, lead, copper, and silver. Mini-pilot plant testing recovered about 94 percent of the silver and more than 92.5 percent of total sulphides, results that aligned closely with earlier bench-scale work. Silver in the tailings is closely associated with sulphide minerals, which helps explain the high recovery rates achieved so far. The unusually high pyrite content, representing more than half of the drilled material from the 2024 program, is now viewed as an advantage rather than a challenge. The company is evaluating the pyrite concentrate as a potential sulphur-bearing feedstock for fertilizer and chemical manufacturing, where conventional sulphur supply is tightening. <a href="https://www.pascoresources.com/_resources/news/nr_2026_06_09.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Executive Chairman Steven Zadka said in the company's announcement that future </a>test work will focus on separating base metals from the bulk concentrate, producing cleaner pyrite material, and conducting roasting and leaching studies to assess additional downstream metal recovery. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Exploratory Work on Gallium and Indium Adds Longer-Term Optionality</h2> Early mineralogical studies have identified gallium concentrated in silicate-rich portions of the tailings and indium primarily associated with zinc-bearing minerals. These programs remain exploratory, and no economic conclusions have been drawn, yet they illustrate the potential for additional value streams beyond the primary silver and base metal focus. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Commentary Highlights Technical Progress and De-Risking</h2> <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/silver-advisor/newsletters/cerro-de-pasco-7/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a June 10 commentary, Peter Krauth and Ted Butler discussed Cerro de Pasco Resources' latest metallurgical update and its implications for the Quiulacocha project.</a> Senior Analyst Ted Butler noted that the mini-pilot plant results at SGS Santiago provided critical proof of concept, with silver locked inside pyrite suggesting that pulling the pyrite first could ultimately allow more silver to be recovered than previously estimated. He also pointed to the 90-95 percent pyrite concentrate grade and its potential value as feedstock for sulphuric acid production. <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/silver-stock-investor/newsletters/silver-selloff-possible-silver-bottom-interview-and-four-updates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peter Krauth discussed recent price movements in the silver market following stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data</a>. Market observers have noted short-term price pressure from shifting interest rate expectations and a stronger U.S. dollar, yet the underlying structural deficit remains a key theme for long-term supply dynamics. Investor Chen Lin highlighted the metallurgical results in his newsletter, noting silver recovery above 90 percent and base metal recovery above 70 percent, with sulphur grades in the concentrate ranging from 44 to 50 percent, offering potential economic contribution even at moderate pricing levels. <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/10/gold-silver-and-bitcoin-fall-as-interest-rates-hold-investor-focus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Also on June 10, CNBC reported that gold and silver prices moved lower as traders reassessed the outlook for U.S. interest rates.</a> [OWNERSHIP_CHART-10400] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Next Steps Toward Resource Definition</h2> <a href="https://www.pascoresources.com/_resources/presentations/corporate_presentation_20260611.pdf?v=061209?v=1762128301?v=1759849892" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cerro de Pasco outlined several ongoing and planned workstreams as part of the metallurgical program.</a> Additional mini-pilot work will separate base metals and generate cleaned pyrite samples. Bench-scale testing of fine-grain flotation technologies is underway, and roasting and leaching trials are planned at commercial laboratories. Targeted programs are also evaluating gallium concentration from the silicate fraction and indium recovery from the base metal and pyrite streams. A consolidated metallurgical update is expected in the second half of 2026. This update is intended to support the company's first mineral resource estimate for the Quiulacocha tailings and subsequent technical studies. The project has already secured a development agreement with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, and environmental and permitting work continues. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure</h2> 1About 7 percent of the company is held by insiders and management. About 21 percent is held by other strategic entities, and about 11 percent is held by institutions, with the remainder held by retail investors.

Thomson wrote that "government obsession with outrageous spending (and with even more outrageous debt) is what makes these tumbles inevitable" and argued that investors were using periods of strength in fiat currencies "to get more gold." Thomson stated that there was debate over gold's near-term direction, writing that "a good case can be made that gold is ready to surge above US$4,900... and an equally good one can be made that it's ready to dip to US$4,100." He also noted that inflation, stock market valuations, debt concerns, and monetary policy continued to shape the investment landscape, stating that "a daily focus on the big picture is critical for investors as inflation, a wildly overvalued stock market, debt ceiling horror, and empire transition dominate the investing landscape." <a href="https://vblgoldfix.substack.com/p/bbg-gold-is-back-to-pricing-fed-credibility?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=456345&post_id=200606011&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=4uo03n&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a June 10 analysis, Bloomberg Intelligence's Mike McGlone discussed the role of monetary policy in the gold market.</a> According to the report, gold's rally since 2022 had been driven by "inflation fears, geopolitical uncertainty, and aggressive central bank buying." McGlone argued that the market might have been "confronting a different reality: a Federal Reserve increasingly focused on restoring credibility." <a href="https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/p/lets-put-some-technical-perspective?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2151927&post_id=201544071&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=4tebdf&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Writing on June 11 for Excelsior Prosperity, Shad Marquitz examined the recent decline in precious metals and mining equities and suggested that the longer-term backdrop for the sector had remained intact.</a> Marquitz stated that "the underlying fundamentals that have been driving this PM bull market haven't really changed that much" and noted that "we also did not see the valuations in the gold stocks get to extreme levels on Price to Net Asset Value (P/NAV), even after many stocks ran up 5X, 7X, 10x+." Marquitz also pointed to operating results from producers, writing that "most of the PM producers and developers never fully factored in these higher metals prices." While acknowledging what he described as "an undeniable short-term cyclical bearish trend in the precious metals sector," he argued that sentiment indicators had reached historically low levels. He highlighted that the Bullish Percent Gold Miners Index had reached "0% bullish gold stocks," calling it "an EXTREME reading to the downside." Discussing industry fundamentals, Marquitz wrote that the sector had recently reported "all-time record Q1 earnings season, chock full of record metrics for EBITA, Revenues, and Cashflows." He added that the divergence between operating performance and equity market weakness created "a bizarre juxtaposition" within the precious metals sector. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="1yf6gvm" data-start="0" data-end="78">Expanded Land Position and Equipment Deliveries Draw Third-Party Attention</h2> <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/silver-advisor/newsletters/pacifica-silver-capitan-silver-esgold/#es" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a June 11 commentary, The Gold Advisor editor Peter Krauth discussed ESGold's receipt of a doré melting furnace at its Montauban project in Québec, describing it as "another infrastructure milestone" for the project.</a> Krauth noted that the propane-fired furnace was designed for high-temperature melting and would be used for metals handling and doré pouring as the company advanced toward production. He wrote that it was "another central step in the team's ongoing construction and commissioning preparations, with first operations targeted for this year." According to Krauth, the furnace was designed to reach temperatures of up to 1,300°C and process up to 150 kilograms of metal. He also noted that the unit would support the project's planned gold and silver recovery circuit, including Merrill-Crowe processing of permitted tailings material. Krauth stated that the furnace joined other processing equipment already onsite, including Humphrey spirals and shaker tables, as the company continued building its processing infrastructure. Referencing the company's operational progress, Krauth wrote that ESGold remained focused on "installing and integrating critical systems while preparing the site for operations." He also cited CEO Gordon Robb, who stated: "The delivery of this furnace is another practical and visible milestone in our transition from construction toward operations at Montauban. This unit is part of the infrastructure required to move from mineral recovery to doré production, and it reflects the steady progress being made across the project." Krauth further noted that ESGold continued to develop its exploration model through the integration of geological, geophysical, and historical data to support targeting efforts across the Montauban district. According to a June 11 report from Atrium Research analysts Riley Venton and Ben Pirie, ESGold's receipt of a doré melting furnace at the Montauban Project represented "another key step in commissioning preparation as Montauban continues to steadily progress toward first production." The analysts noted that the furnace delivery followed the company's doré offtake agreement with Ocean Partners and joined "a growing inventory of key processing equipment at the site." Atrium stated that ESGold "continues to advance the fully permitted, fully funded Montauban Project toward first production later this year" and maintained its BUY rating and CA$1.30 per share target price. In their assessment, Venton and Pirie wrote: "The furnace delivery marks another tangible step for ESGold as the Company moves toward first production at Montauban in the back half of this year." They added that "with the Ocean Partners agreement securing a buyer for doré, and key equipment deliveries continuing to arrive, the project remains on track to begin generating cash in the near-term." The analysts also stated that "the exploration upside on the broader land package is significant, and the Company continues to advance exploration initiatives." <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="bvhfui" data-start="2501" data-end="2568">Construction, Commissioning, and Exploration Activities Continue</h2> ESGold's current construction and commissioning preparation program at Montauban includes the installation and integration of the processing infrastructure required for operations.

(CDPR:TSXC; GPPRF:OTCQB; N8HP:FSE) reported <a href="https://www.pascoresources.com/_resources/news/nr_2026_06_09.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new metallurgical test results from its Quiulacocha Tailings Reprocessing Project in central Peru, outlining a potential processing route that could recover silver, zinc, lead, and other metals from decades-old mine tailings while creating a separate pyrite concentrate stream.</a> The company said more than 110 metallurgical tests conducted across several laboratories have helped advance a conceptual two-concentrate flowsheet. Under the approach, a bulk sulphide concentrate would first be produced and then separated into a high-grade pyrite concentrate and a base metal concentrate containing zinc, lead, copper, and silver. According to the company, mini-pilot plant testing recovered approximately 94% of the silver contained in the tested material while capturing more than 92.5% of total sulphides into a bulk concentrate. The company said those results generally aligned with earlier bench-scale testing and support continued optimization work. Management said the project's unusually high pyrite content is shaping development plans. Mineralogical studies indicate pyrite accounts for more than half of the portion of the Quiulacocha tailings drilled during the company's 2024 program. As a result, Cerro de Pasco is evaluating whether a pyrite concentrate could serve as a sulphur-bearing feedstock for industries such as fertilizer production and chemical manufacturing. "This program has moved us from promising bench-scale results to a continuous mini-pilot test," <a href="https://www.pascoresources.com/_resources/news/nr_2026_06_09.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Executive Chairman Steven Zadka said in the company's announcement.</a> The company noted that silver appears closely associated with sulphide minerals within the tailings, helping explain the strong recovery rates reported during testing. Future work will focus on separating base metals from the bulk concentrate, producing cleaner pyrite concentrates, and conducting roasting and leaching studies to determine how much additional silver and other metals may be recoverable downstream. Beyond silver, Cerro de Pasco is also studying opportunities involving gallium and indium. Early mineralogical work suggests gallium is concentrated within silicate-rich portions of the tailings, while indium is primarily associated with zinc-bearing minerals. The company described those programs as exploratory and said no economic conclusions have been reached. The Quiulacocha project is located in the historic Cerro de Pasco mining district, which produced metals for more than a century. The tailings facility covers roughly 115 hectares and contains material generated from historical mining and processing operations between 1921 and 1992. The company completed a 40-hole Phase 1 drilling program in 2024 and is preparing for additional drilling, resource definition work, and technical studies. The project is being advanced as a tailings reprocessing operation rather than a conventional mine. Cerro de Pasco said additional metallurgical updates are expected during the second half of 2026 as testing continues and the company works toward its first mineral resource estimate for the Quiulacocha tailings project. The company recently secured a project development agreement with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and continues advancing technical, environmental, and permitting studies. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Silver Market Faces Short-Term Volatility as Supply Constraints Remain in Focus</h2> <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-06-09/gold-and-silver-will-gain-rising-debt-and-inflation-reprice-bonds-and" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a June 9 analysis published by Kitco News</a>, Paul Wong, managing partner and market strategist at Sprott Inc., described a silver market that remained undersupplied despite recent price fluctuations. Wong wrote that "the silver market remains in a sustained structural deficit," citing the Silver Institute's 2026 World Silver Survey. He stated that, except for a brief surplus in 2020, the market had been undersupplied since 2021, resulting in "a cumulative deficit of roughly 762 million ounces over the past six years." "When you include ETF flows, the imbalance is even more pronounced, exceeding 1 billion ounces," Wong added. He characterized the situation as "a prolonged structural shortfall rather than a temporary cyclical imbalance." Wong also wrote that "supply growth is limited, industrial demand is structurally higher, and investment demand is returning." According to the analysis, "the broader supply-demand balance continues to tighten," reflecting continued attention on physical silver availability and demand trends. <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/silver-stock-investor/newsletters/silver-selloff-possible-silver-bottom-interview-and-four-updates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Writing on June 10, Peter Krauth discussed recent price movements in the silver market following stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data</a>. "Silver took it on the chin last week," Krauth wrote, noting that silver fell about 7% after the jobs report. He stated that a stronger U.S. dollar and rising interest rates had pressured commodity prices, adding that "a stronger dollar pressures commodity prices," while higher rates can make bonds relatively more attractive. <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/10/gold-silver-and-bitcoin-fall-as-interest-rates-hold-investor-focus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Also on June 10, CNBC reported that gold and silver prices moved lower as traders reassessed the outlook for U.S. interest rates.</a> Ewa Manthey, commodities strategist at ING, told CNBC that gold and silver had come under pressure as "market focus shifts back to rates and inflation rather than pure safe-haven demand." "The escalation in the Middle East is pushing oil higher and lifting inflation risks, which in turn is reinforcing expectations that central banks stay tighter for longer," Manthey said. She added that higher real yields represented "a clear headwind for non-yielding assets like gold and silver." The CNBC report also cited Alex King, investment strategy analyst at Wellington Management, who discussed broader precious metals demand trends. King said gold had been supported by central bank buying and ETF inflows since late 2022 and stated that "gold's recent pullback may reflect cyclical excess rather than a broken trend." He also pointed to reserve diversification, central bank demand, and ETF inflows as factors that had continued to support interest in precious metals. Together, the reports described a silver sector influenced by interest rate expectations, inflation concerns, and currency movements, while industry observers continued to monitor supply deficits, industrial demand, and investment flows. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analysts Said Metallurgical Results Advanced Understanding of Quiulacocha</h2> <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/silver-advisor/newsletters/cerro-de-pasco-7/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a June 10 commentary, Peter Krauth and Ted Butler discussed Cerro de Pasco Resources' latest metallurgical update and its implications for the Quiulacocha project.</a> Senior Analyst Ted Butler wrote that the company's metallurgical studies had converged on "a two-concentrate flowsheet, generating a high-grade pyrite concentrate and a base metal concentrate, with silver carried in both streams." He stated that pyrite represented more than 50% of the Quiulacocha tailings drilled in 2024 and that material, which had initially appeared to be "a metallurgical challenge," was now "emerging as one of the project's most attractive features." According to Butler, the mini-pilot plant at SGS Santiago delivered "the critical proof of concept," recovering more than 92.5% of total sulphides and approximately 94% of silver into a bulk concentrate. He wrote, "The silver is locked inside the pyrite, meaning the most effective way to capture it is to pull the pyrite out first, then separate the silver and base metals downstream." Butler further stated that the demonstration of the process as viable suggested: "more silver can ultimately be recovered from Quiulacocha than previously thought." He also noted that the pyrite concentrate, grading 90-95%, had "potential value beyond silver, as a sulphur-bearing feedstock for sulphuric acid production." The report cited Executive Chairman Steven Zadka, who stated: "The pyrite stream has potential value as a sulphur-bearing feedstock in a market where conventional supply is tightening." Butler also highlighted mineralogical studies that had identified opportunities to concentrate gallium and indium, noting that targeted exploratory metallurgical test work on both elements was underway. He referenced a previous estimate by CEO Guy Goulet of "US$600 million in cash flow from Quiulacocha if recoveries reach 70% and gallium is included." Discussing project development milestones, Butler wrote that the metallurgical update represented "the latest milestone in a systematic de-risking process" and described the results as "a critical step toward the first mineral resource estimate in H2 2026." He stated that the company had completed an OTCQX upgrade in April, secured an access agreement in March, and had made progress as metallurgy was "directionally de-risked." Krauth and Butler also commented on their investment stance, writing that they "both maintain an overweight position in the stock." In the June 10 edition of the What's Chen Buying? What's Chen Selling? newsletter, investor Chen Lin highlighted the company's metallurgical results, writing that "table 3 is the key to read" and summarizing the findings as: "Silver recovery is over 90% and base metal over 70%. The assumption is 40%." Lin also pointed to the sulphur content of the concentrate, stating, "their concentrate sulphur grade is from 44-50%." He noted that the company began pursuing the sulphur opportunity when prices were around US$500 per tonne and wrote, "even at 500/ton, the sulphur valuation will pay more than the transportation (less than 100/ton thanks to the rail station nearby) and processing costs." Describing the potential downstream processing scenario, Lin wrote that a sulphuric acid plant "would only take sulphur in their roasters and all the metals will be dropped to the bottom for us. I call this 'free roasting'!"

Comparative bench-scale testing of fine-grain flotation technologies is also underway to evaluate fine-grained sulphide recovery and support development of a fine-particle flotation strategy. The company plans to conduct pyrite roasting trials and calcine leaching programs at two commercial laboratories to evaluate downstream recovery of silver and base metals from the pyrite concentrate. According to the company, these programs are intended to investigate metal distribution between the two concentrate streams and determine the potential payable metal content of each product. Targeted exploratory metallurgical programs are also being conducted to assess concentration of gallium from the silicate fraction of the tailings and indium associated with the base metals and pyrite streams. The company stated that a consolidated metallurgical update is anticipated in the second half of 2026. According to Cerro de Pasco, that update is expected to support advancement toward a first Mineral Resource Estimate and subsequent technical studies for the Quiulacocha Tailings Reprocessing Project. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> About 7% of the company is held by insiders and management.

(ARK:TSX.V; ARRKF:OTCMKTS) drills 935.9m of copper-gold at its Elemes Project in Kazakhstan, with analysts projecting 114% upside potential.Arras Minerals Corp. (ARK:TSX.V; ARRKF:OTCMKTS) announced <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!ARK-3830531/C/ARK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drill results</a> from its Berezski North Target of the Elemes Project in Northeast Kazakhstan on June 9, 2026. Two holes — EL26032 and EL26033 — were covered in the release. Highlights include: EL26032 <ul> <li>935.9m grading 0.71% Copper Equivalent (CuEq - 0.51 g/t Au (gold) and 0.19% Cu (copper)) from surface, including 214.9m grading 1.42% CuEq (1.01 g/t Au and 0.41% Cu) starting at 162.1m depth. Hole terminated in mineralization.</li> <li>High-grade breccia mineralization returned 4.41% CuEq (3.27 g/t Au and 1.22% Cu) over 55.0m from 216.0m depth.</li> </ul> EL26033 <ul> <li>52m grading 1.75% CuEq (1.14 g/t Au and 0.64% Cu) from 259.0m depth, within a zone grading 181.0m at 0.66% CuEq (0.43 g/t Au and 0.24 % Cu) from 170.0m depth</li> <li>Hole terminates in distal porphyry-style mineralization grading 0.15% CuEq (0.11 g/t Au and 0.04% Cu) over 127.2m from 503.0m depth.</li> </ul> CEO of Arras Minerals, Tim Barry, said in the release: "These latest results from Berezski North represent a step-change for the company. Intersecting more than 900 meters of porphyry-style mineralization from surface is a very significant result that has materially advanced our understanding of the scale and potential of this target. This drilling also confirmed the near-surface, high-grade breccias, and has extended their strike length to now over 600 meters. Importantly, the system remains open in multiple directions and at depth. These drill results, combined with the coincident 3 km x 2 km geophysical and geochemical footprint we observe in the data, suggest there is still significant potential to be unlocked at the Berezski North Target. An additional six holes have been drilled with assays pending, and once these results are received and interpreted, we expect to bring the drills back to Berezski North to follow up on additional targets." The drill program was designed to explore the shallow breccias located and determine the extent of their underlying porphyry mineralization. So far, eight holes have been completed at the Berezski North target since drilling began in early 2026, and the company feels that the results from these two holes confirm the presence of a large, well-developed porphyry system that is open in multiple directions and to depths exceeding 900 meters, with a strike length of over 600 meters. Barry went on to say, "Looking at the bigger picture along the entire 8.8-kilometer Berezski Trend, it is important to note that the Berezski North target sits more than 5 km north of both the "Berezski East target," where we recently announced 115.7 m grading 1.44 g/t Au and 0.24% Cu, and the "Berezski Central Target," where we previously announced 261 m grading 0.64% CuEq from surface. At the K-Ozek target that runs along the eastern margin of the Berezski Trend, a series of quartz veins is exposed over a 2 km strike length by historic Soviet trenching. Previously reported sampling returned 27 grab samples grading greater than 5 g/t Au. Over the past month, drilling has tested portions of the K-Ozek area, with three holes completed and one underway, with assays pending. The drilling has intersected a series of quartz-sulphide veins surrounded by a wide zone of stockwork sulphide veining. Arras currently has four diamond drill rigs on site focused on the Berezski Trend as part of its ongoing 20,000 m drill program this year." Arras is a Canadian exploration company advancing a portfolio of copper and gold assets in Kazakhstan. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Copper and Gold in Demand</h2> Gold and copper remain safe haven assets but are still vulnerable to fears of inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, as has been evidenced by the ongoing war between the U.S. and Iran. A May 29 article by <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/gold-muted-as-traders-weigh-iran-truce-prospects-hot-us-inflation-4715889" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investing.com</a> discussed how these tensions are affecting the metals markets, saying, "In the current environment, investors are increasingly worried that higher oil and energy costs linked to the Middle East crisis could fuel broader inflation pressures, forcing the Federal Reserve to maintain restrictive monetary policy." Often immune to stock fluctuations due to its critical usage needs, renewed suspicion of U.S. tariffs on China's copper exports has also caused the rates to drop. A strong U.S. dollar, a good employment report, and the 10-year Treasury yield holding strong have also created bad news for spot gold prices. The gold market opened on June 11, 2026, trading at <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-06-11/gold-silver-edge-lower-ppi-stays-hot-kitco-am-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$4,063.50 an ounce, down 0.19%</a>, after taking a tumble over the past week. Gold surged to a record high earlier in the year, hitting<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/commodities/articles/gold-investors-tough-luck-news-202300207.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a high of US$5,000 per ounce in January</a>, and many expect the rally to resume once international conflict cools down. In April, <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/04/copper-gold-market-outlook-2026-prices-supply-mining-costs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S&P Global wrote</a>, "Gold is expected to remain volatile but structurally supported, with central bank demand and geopolitical risk helping to establish a price floor above recent correction lows." With its role in industrial applications and inability to be easily replicated, copper is becoming a more and more important resource as more countries become developed. Mines take a long time to come into effect, though, and despite the <a href="https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/p/doctor-copper-deep-dive-part-1?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2151927&post_id=194737782&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=4uo03n&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank" rel="noopener">near doubling of copper prices</a> over the past two years, supply is lacking. Despite the volatility of gold, the sector as a whole is only showing signs of improvement. On May 7, 2026, <a href="https://www.recyclingtoday.com/news/world-bank-base-precious-metals-price-increases-2026-forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Taylor of Recycling Today said</a> that the World Bank Group has predicted that overall global metals prices will rise by 17% in 2026, which would mark the first overall market increase since 2022. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Expert Says Company 'Hit a Sweet Spot'</h2> On June 9, 2026, Oscar Norris of Hannam & Partners gave Arras a price target of CA$1.80, projecting a 114% upside from current rates. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-10880] Norris wrote, "Once the outstanding assay results from Berezski North are received and interpreted, we expect Arras to determine follow-up drill targets to test extensions along strike and at depth." Chen Lin of What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling? wrote about the company on June 10, 2026, saying: "ARK.v hit a big hole, 936 meters of 0.71% copper equivalent from the surface! This is the project that I have been to twice, and it looks like they really hit a sweet spot. The stock has been in consolidation for a long time, and I am glad it started to break out, even in times of market corrections." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Four Rigs Drilling</h2> <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!ARK-3830531/C/ARK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the company</a>, four diamond drill rigs are now operating at Elemes. Two rigs are currently located at the Berezski Central Target, one rig is exploring the Novii Target, and the fourth rig is drilling at K-Ozek. Since June of last year, Arras Minerals has been advancing its 20,000-meter Phase 2 diamond drill program at the Elemes Project. Drilling was paused in late December for a scheduled winter break and recommenced in February. Nearly 10,000 meters were completed in 2025, and the strength of the results has prompted Arras to plan an expansion of the program to 30,000m, with completion targeted by the end of 2026. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership & Share Information1</h2> Arras Minerals Corp has a market cap of CA$133.32 million, with 122.31 million shares outstanding.

Spot gold recently rebounded from a six-month low, and copper remains central to long-term electrification trends. These conditions create a timely backdrop for large-scale development projects that combine both metals. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/700?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seabridge Gold Inc. (SEA:TSX; SA:NYSE.MKT) </a>stands out because its KSM project ranks among the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold assets. With reserves estimated at 47.3 million ounces of gold and 7.3 billion pounds of copper across 2.29 billion tonnes, the project offers substantial scale that few peers can match. This resource base positions the company to benefit directly from any sustained upswing in either metal. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Court Ruling Confirms Project Momentum</h2> The Supreme Court of British Columbia recently reviewed two challenges to the BC Environmental Assessment Office's July 2024 determination that KSM was substantially started. The court upheld the reasonableness of that determination while directing a 90-day consultation window with one petitioner, Tsetsaut Skii km Lax Ha. A separate petition from SkeenaWild Conservation Trust was dismissed entirely, <a href="https://www.seabridgegold.com/press-release/bc-supreme-court-decides-seabridge-gold-s-ksm-substantially-started-determination-reasonable" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a June 8 release</a>. <a href="https://seabridgegold.syncedtool.ca/1/files/share/26774/Justice%20Burke%20re%20Tsetsaut%20Skii%20Km%20Lax%20Ha%20Nation%20v.%20British%20Columbia%20(Environment%20and%20Parks)%2006-08-1.pdf/tiRP7oc1s3C?view=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The full decision is available here for public review</a>. Work at the site continues without interruption, and the company has already invested an additional CA$208 million in permanent improvements since January 2024, bringing total expenditures to CA$1.2 billion. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Strategic Partnership Remains Central Focus</h2> Seabridge has named a partnership for KSM as its top priority. The company reports ongoing technical collaboration with its preferred partner on feasibility work and early construction planning while formal agreement terms are finalized. KSM also received provincial priority project status from British Columbia, which is expected to coordinate and accelerate remaining permits. These steps reduce timeline risk and reinforce the project's long-term viability. <h2 style="text-align: center;">ESG Progress and Community Support Strengthen Position</h2> <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/06/08/gold-giant-advances-copper-gold-ksm-project-with-strong-esg-performance.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seabridge released its 2025 Sustainability Report</a>, highlighting measurable progress in environmental, social, and governance areas. The KSM project earned the 2025 AME David Barr Award for health and safety performance in a remote setting. On the community side, the company provided CA$50,000 in bursaries to 48 students in northwest British Columbia through partnerships with the Nisga'a Lisims Government and Tahltan Central Government, while directing most procurement spending to local suppliers. These efforts complement the continued backing from the Nisga'a and Tahltan Nations and the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs Office. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Perspectives Highlight Limited Risk and Clear Catalysts</h2> RBC Capital Markets analyst Harrison Reynolds noted that the court affirmed the substantive merits of the substantially started designation, with the consultation issue representing a procedural matter rather than a broad challenge. Work programs for 2026 remain on schedule, including road construction, environmental studies, and preparations for a feasibility study targeted for completion in the second half of 2027. Stonegate Capital Partners analyst Dave Storms described Seabridge as entering a catalyst-dense phase that includes partnership discussions, feasibility study advancement, BC permitting support, the Valor Gold spin-out, and an initial resource estimate at Snip North. He views KSM as the primary value driver with potential for near-term re-rating once a formal partnership is announced. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-700] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Valuation Context and Market Timing</h2> Storms applied an EV/NAV range of 0.8x to 0.9x, producing a valuation band of US$67.86 to US$76.85 with a midpoint of US$72.36. Using an EV/In-Situ multiple range of 7x to 9x yields US$72.41 to US$94.25 with a midpoint of US$83.33. These figures reflect progress on multiple fronts even before a partnership is finalized. Meanwhile, gold prices have shown resilience after recent pressure, with spot gold rising 0.6% to US$4,097.01 per ounce amid short covering, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/11/gold-rebounds-from-six-month-low-on-short-covering-ppi-data-in-focus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by CNBC updated on June 11</a>. Independent analyst Ross Norman observed that gold appears oversold,<a href="https://www.fxempire.com/forecasts/article/gold-price-forecast-expect-one-more-shakeout-before-bottoming-in-june-1603221" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> while A.G. Thorson of FX Empire</a> noted that moves below the 200-day moving average have historically preceded strong multi-year advances. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure Offers Context for Investors</h2> 1Management and insiders hold roughly 2% of shares, while institutions own approximately 63%. Major institutional holders include Friedberg Mercantile Group Ltd. at 15.08%, Kopernik Global Investors L.L.C. at 10.26%, Pan Atlantic Bank and Trust at 9.92%, and Van Eck Associates Corp. at 6.07%. The company has about 107.62 million shares outstanding, a market capitalization of CA$3.76 billion, and trades in a 52-week range of CA$17.90 to CA$50.77. This ownership profile and capital structure provide a clear framework for retail investors evaluating exposure to the KSM development story. The combination of legal clarity, continued site investment, active partnership talks, and supportive analyst commentary positions Seabridge to advance KSM through the current market cycle. Retail investors monitoring gold and copper prices may find the company's progress worth following as milestones accumulate through 2027. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Seabridge Gold Inc. is a billboard sponsor of Streetwise Reports and pays SWR a monthly sponsorship fee between US$3,000 and US$6,000.</li> <li>As of the date of this article, officers, contractors, shareholders, and/or employees of Streetwise Reports LLC (including members of their household) own securities of Seabridge Gold Inc.</li> <li>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

(DEC:TSX.V) advances four drill-permitted BC projects, with high-grade gold, copper, and silver results and a "Strong Speculative Buy" analyst rating.<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/11512?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Decade Resources Ltd. (DEC:TSX.V)</a> released <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!DEC-3831423/C/DEC" target="_blank" rel="noopener">several project updates</a> on June 11, 2026, with a slew of updates on its 2026 exploration plans. In regard to the company's Bonaparte project, Decade is pleased to announce that it has received a drill permit from the Ministry of Mines, pending an archaeological study on the area. Once the study is completed, the company will begin a drill program on the property that's approximately 50 kilometers north of Kamloops, British Columbia. This property hosts three mineral claims and covers 2,969.6 hectares, with a potential copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry. The 2025 sampling program returned the following results: <ul> <li>1662 g/t Au (gold) and 0.88% Cu (copper)</li> <li>175.37 g/t Au and 2.267 % Cu</li> <li>82.3 g/t Au and 1.548 % Cu</li> <li>15.02 g/t Au and 5.902 % Cu</li> </ul> The 2026 sampling program will include testing IP anomalies that start at approximately 300 meters depth and extend beyond 500 meters depth. Geological mapping and rock sampling will be carried out at the same time. Decade has also received a drill permit for the North Mitchell project, which is located 70 kilometers north of Stewart, BC, in the Skeena Mining Division, and consists of 963.45 hectares. Located within the Golden Triangle, the property hosts an estimated 201.67 million ounces of mineralization. The 2025 sampling program returned: <ul> <li>116.9 g/t Au, 161 g/t Ag (silver), 3.01 % Pb (lead), and 5.6 % Zn (zinc)</li> <li>5.73 g/t Au and 12.74 g/t Ag</li> <li>3.7559 g/t Au and 11.19 g/t Ag</li> </ul> The company's press release said, " The 2026 program will include sampling and prospecting of all gossanous zones as well as further sampling to define the high-grade mineralization discovered in 2025." The Nobody Knows project will undergo an exploration program following a 2024 sampling that led to the discovery of gold-silver-base metal-bearing boulders with high arsenic, bismuth, and cobalt values. The 2026 program at this project will include soil sampling, further silt sampling along streams, rock sampling, and a VLF Em survey in the area where the boulders are located. In the release, E. Kruchkowski, President of Decade, said, "The company now has drill permits on four of its projects, including the Red Cliff, Nobody Knows, North Mitchell, and Bonaparte, on completion of the archaeological study. The company plans to continue an aggressive exploration program on these properties to add shareholder value." A Canadian company, Decade Resources Ltd., is dedicated to exploring mineralization in the 'Golden Triangle' area of British Columbia and owns multiple projects in various stages of development. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Metals Sectors Unsteady but Still Bullish</h2> The U.S. is in search of more domestic gold and copper sources, hoping to decrease its reliance on foreign metals. Gold remains a safe haven asset but is still vulnerable to fears of inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, as has been evidenced by the ongoing war between the U.S. and Iran. A May 29 article by <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/gold-muted-as-traders-weigh-iran-truce-prospects-hot-us-inflation-4715889" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investing.com</a> discussed how these tensions are affecting the metals markets, saying, "In the current environment, investors are increasingly worried that higher oil and energy costs linked to the Middle East crisis could fuel broader inflation pressures, forcing the Federal Reserve to maintain restrictive monetary policy." Often immune to stock fluctuations due to its critical usage needs, renewed suspicion of U.S. tariffs on China's copper exports has also caused the rates to drop. A strong U.S. dollar, a good employment report, and the 10-year Treasury yield holding strong have also created bad news for spot gold prices. The gold market opened on June 11, 2026, trading at <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-06-11/gold-silver-edge-lower-ppi-stays-hot-kitco-am-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$4,063.50 an ounce, down 0.19%</a>, after taking a tumble over the past week. Gold surged to a record high earlier in the year, hitting<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/commodities/articles/gold-investors-tough-luck-news-202300207.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a high of US$5,000 per ounce in January</a>, and many expect the rally to resume once international conflict cools down. In April, <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/04/copper-gold-market-outlook-2026-prices-supply-mining-costs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S&P Global wrote</a>, "Gold is expected to remain volatile but structurally supported, with central bank demand and geopolitical risk helping to establish a price floor above recent correction lows." [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11512] With its role in industrial applications and inability to be easily replicated, copper is becoming a more and more important resource as more countries become developed. Mines take a long time to come into effect, though, and despite the <a href="https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/p/doctor-copper-deep-dive-part-1?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2151927&post_id=194737782&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=4uo03n&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank" rel="noopener">near doubling of copper prices</a> over the past two years, supply is lacking. Despite the volatility of gold, the sector as a whole is only showing signs of improvement. On May 7, 2026, <a href="https://www.recyclingtoday.com/news/world-bank-base-precious-metals-price-increases-2026-forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Taylor of Recycling Today said</a> that the World Bank Group has predicted that overall global metals prices will rise by 17% in 2026, which would mark the first overall market increase since 2022. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Eyes "Potential Entry Point for Spectators"</h2> 1On April 24, 2026, <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/04/24/kamloops-junior-gold-2026-exploration-update-new-price-targets-on-the-charts.html?m_t=2026_05_06_11_44_47&utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">technical analyst Stewart Thomson</a> gave Decade a "Strong Speculative Buy" rating. Thomson's short-term price target is CA$0.14, his medium-term target is CA$0.25, and his long-term target is CA$0.60. Thomson wrote, "Trading volume has increased since the summer of 2025 . . . A pullback to the trendline has occurred, marking a potential entry point for speculators. Volume is more consistent than in the past, also a bullish sign." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Mid-August Testing Planned</h2> According to the <a href="https://wp-decaderesources-2024.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/media/2026/03/MAR-2026-Powerpoint.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">company website</a>, Decade plans to begin surface work at Del Norte to further sample the low-sulphidation mineralization that assayed over 30 g/t of gold in quartz breccias in mid-August 2026. The company also plans to sample any new zones revealed by snow melt and will map and sample the Eagles Nest, LG/Argo, and K-Zone structures. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership & Share Information2</h2> Decade Resources Ltd. has a market cap of CA$13.53 million, with 245.99 million shares outstanding.

(SEA:TSX; SA:NYSE.MKT) announces that the Supreme Court of British Columbia has issued a ruling on two legal challenges concerning the company's KSM project in B.C.'s Golden Triangle.<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/700?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seabridge Gold Inc. (SEA:TSX; SA:NYSE.MKT)</a> announced that the Supreme Court of British Columbia has issued a ruling on two legal challenges concerning the BC Environmental Assessment Office's (EAO) decision that Seabridge Gold's KSM project in northwestern British Columbia was substantially started as of July 24, 2024, <a href="https://www.seabridgegold.com/press-release/bc-supreme-court-decides-seabridge-gold-s-ksm-substantially-started-determination-reasonable" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a June 8 release</a>. The court upheld the EAO's determination as reasonable but identified a shortfall in the consultation process with one of the petitioners, the Tsetsaut Skii km Lax Ha (TSKLH). As a result, the court has mandated a 90-day period during which TSKLH can submit their views on whether the project was substantially started. Following this period, the EAO is required to reassess its initial determination. Additionally, the court dismissed a separate petition brought by SkeenaWild Conservation Trust that contested the Substantially Started determination. <a href="https://seabridgegold.syncedtool.ca/1/files/share/26774/Justice%20Burke%20re%20Tsetsaut%20Skii%20Km%20Lax%20Ha%20Nation%20v.%20British%20Columbia%20(Environment%20and%20Parks)%2006-08-1.pdf/tiRP7oc1s3C?view=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The full decision is available here for public review</a>. In response to the Court's decision, Seabridge Chair and CEO Rudi Fronk expressed satisfaction with the confirmation of the EAO's determination as reasonable and stated that operations at KSM would proceed during the consultation period and the subsequent EAO review. Fronk remarked, "We are satisfied that the court has confirmed the reasonableness of the EAO determination," Seabridge Chair and Chief Executive Officer Rudi Fronk said. "We will continue to execute our work plans for KSM and look forward to meeting with the EAO to receive an update on their additional consultation activities in due course. Meanwhile, the permanent physical improvements we have made at KSM, which were considered appropriate for the determination, have been significantly enhanced. We remain appreciative of the continued support of the Nisga'a and Tahltan Nations, and the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs Office, for KSM." Since applying for Substantially Started Status in January 2024, Seabridge said it has invested an additional CA$208 million in permanent works at the KSM site, bringing the total expenditures at KSM to CA$1.2 billion. <h2 style="text-align: center;">KSM Partner Still Co.'s Primary Goal</h2> Seabridge has identified establishing a partnership for its KSM project as its <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/06/08/gold-giant-advances-copper-gold-ksm-project-with-strong-esg-performance.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">primary goal for the year</a>. In a recent update to its shareholders, Seabridge conveyed that it has made considerable strides toward this objective. The company stated, "We continue to make material progress on a partnership at KSM with our preferred partner, who is now participating with our technical team to advance the feasibility program and early works construction planning while we formalize our partnership agreement." Additionally, the KSM Project has received notable recognition this year as it was declared a provincial priority project by the Province of British Columbia. This prestigious designation is set to streamline and accelerate the permitting process through focused provincial permitting coordination and support. The KSM Project is globally recognized as one of the largest undeveloped copper and gold projects. It boasts substantial reserves, with estimates including 7.3 billion pounds of copper and 47.3 million ounces of gold across 2.29 billion tonnes. This vast resource base underscores the project's significant potential and the importance of the ongoing efforts to secure a strategic partnership. The company recently published its 2025 Sustainability Report, providing a comprehensive review of its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts. The KSM Project was particularly recognized, receiving the 2025 AME David Barr Award for its robust health and safety practices in a remote region of British Columbia. On the social front, the report emphasized Seabridge's strengthened relationships with Indigenous and local communities. This includes providing CA$50,000 in bursaries to 48 students in northwest BC in collaboration with the Nisga'a Lisims Government and Tahltan Central Government and directing the majority of its procurement expenditures to local suppliers. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst: Broader Support From First Nations Remains Intact</h2> The British Columbia Supreme Court's ruling mitigates the risk of the designation being overturned based on its merits, although it introduces a potential procedural complication due to the required additional consultation, noted RBC Capital Markets Analyst Harrison Reynolds in an updated research note on June 9. "The Court affirmed the substantive reasonableness of the determination; however, the consultation deficiency finding and ordered reconsideration represent a partial setback," Reynolds wrote. "Work at KSM continues uninterrupted during this period and since the January 2024 application, Seabridge has spent an additional ~CA$208m on permanent works (total now CA$1.2b), strengthening the factual basis for the determination should it be reconsidered." The court's decision was specific in its findings, recognizing the reasonableness of the EAO's July 2024 determination while pointing out the need for more thorough consultation with TSKLH, the note said. The dismissal of the SkeenaWild petition underscores the court's agreement with the EAO's assessment of the merits of the project's status. Importantly, the broader support from the Nisga'a and Tahltan Nations, along with the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs Office, remains intact, Reynolds noted. The consultation issue with TSKLH is specific to that group and pertains to the process rather than opposition from the wider Indigenous community. From a project management perspective, the 2026 work program at KSM is proceeding as planned, the analyst said. This includes preparations for a feasibility study expected to be completed in the second half of 2027, ongoing road construction, and the completion of BC Hydro's Treaty Creek Terminal. The "Substantially Started" designation is crucial as it secures KSM's provincial and federal environmental assessment certificates for the life of the project, thereby removing the previous expiry deadline of July 2026. Without this designation, KSM's environmental approvals would lapse, potentially halting the project's progress. <h2 style="text-align: center;">'A Catalyst-Dense Phase'</h2> Stonegate Capital Partners Analyst Dave Storms recently characterized Seabridge Gold as entering a "catalyst-dense phase," according to his latest research note dated May 27. Storms pointed out that this phase is characterized by significant progress in several key areas, including discussions on KSM partnerships, preparations for the Feasibility Study (FS), support for BC permitting, the spin-out of Valor Gold, and the initial resource estimation at Snip North. He stated, "In our view, SA is increasingly converting embedded asset value into externally validated milestones across KSM, Courageous Lake, and Bronson Corridor." Storms identified the KSM project as the primary value driver for Seabridge Gold, highlighting its potential for a near-term re-rating. He noted that since his last report, the project's prospects have improved with the active participation of Seabridge's preferred partner in the feasibility and early works planning, as the company nears finalizing a formal agreement. The focus for 2026 includes preparing for the FS, developing green power infrastructure, building access roads, conducting environmental work, and ensuring readiness for early works, with the goal of completing the FS in the second half of 2027. Additionally, Storms mentioned the strong shareholder support for the spin-out of Valor Gold, with Seabridge set to distribute approximately 55 million Valor shares. This strategic move is anticipated to offer a more transparent valuation reference for the 11 million ounces of Measured and Indicated (M&I) gold asset at Courageous Lake, which has previously been overshadowed by the KSM project. In concluding his analysis, Storms provided a valuation range for Seabridge Gold. He explained, "When valuing SA, we apply an EV/NAV range of 0.8x to 0.9x, which results in a valuation of US$67.86 to US$76.85 with a midpoint of US$72.36." He added, "When using an EV/In-Situ valuation method, we apply a multiple range of 7x to 9x, which results in a valuation of US$72.41 to US$94.25 with a midpoint of US$83.33." These valuations reflect the ongoing efforts and strategic moves by Seabridge Gold as it advances through a pivotal phase of development. <h2 style="text-align: center;">The Catalyst: A Gold Rebound and a Possible Entry Opportunity?</h2> On Thursday, gold prices experienced a rebound from a six-month low as investors began covering their short positions, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/11/gold-rebounds-from-six-month-low-on-short-covering-ppi-data-in-focus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by CNBC updated on June 11</a>. This slight recovery saw spot gold increase by 0.6% to US$4,097.01 an ounce, after earlier touching its lowest level since November 21. In contrast, U.S. gold futures for August delivery saw a decrease of 0.4%, settling at US$4,118. Independent analyst Ross Norman commented on the situation, stating, "Gold is clearly significantly oversold just now, and it remains to be seen whether this is a recovery as such or simply short positions taking profit." Geopolitical tensions also influenced the market, as the U.S. and Iran continued to exchange attacks for a second consecutive day, CNBC reported. President Donald Trump has threatened further strikes unless Tehran agrees to a peace deal promptly. Since the onset of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran in late February, spot gold has declined over 22%, a drop coinciding with a surge in oil prices. The rise in crude oil prices has contributed to accelerating inflation and the prospect of prolonged higher interest rates. While gold is traditionally seen as a hedge against inflation, the prospect of higher interest rates, which increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, tends to suppress its price. Recent data revealed that U.S. consumer inflation in May rose at its fastest pace in three years, driven by sharp increases in energy-related prices. Looking ahead, the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain steady interest rates in the upcoming meeting chaired by Kevin Warsh, with most economists in a Reuters poll anticipating no change in rates this year. However, market traders are pricing in a 67% chance of a U.S. rate hike by December, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool. Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch noted, "The market now firmly expects the Fed to raise interest rates before the end of the year." According to the CNBC report, he added that if the upcoming Fed meeting does not indicate a likely rate increase, gold prices might begin to recover.[OWNERSHIP_CHART-700] <a href="https://www.fxempire.com/forecasts/article/gold-price-forecast-expect-one-more-shakeout-before-bottoming-in-june-1603221" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to A.G. Thorson writing for FX Empire on June 8</a>, gold had closed below its 200-day moving average and erased all of its gains for 2026. The Gold Cycle Indicator fell to 71, its lowest reading since September 2023. "We are now at a point in the cycle where prices could drop a bit further, but that outcome is not guaranteed," Thorson wrote. "From a longer-term perspective, I believe this move below the 200-day moving average will ultimately be viewed as an attractive entry opportunity," Thorson continued. "In 2006, gold traded below its 200-day moving average for just over a month before resuming its uptrend and rallying more than 220% over the following five years. If a similar advance were to occur from current levels, gold could approach US$14,000 by 2031." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> Management and insiders hold approximately 2% of the company, while institutions own about 63%. The remainder is held by retail investors. Friedberg Mercantile Group Ltd. holds 15.08%, Kopernik Global Investors L.L.C. holds 10.26%, Pan Atlantic Bank and Trust holds 9.92%, and Van Eck Associates Corp. holds 6.07%. There are around 107.62 million shares outstanding, with the company having a market cap of CA$3.76 billion and trading within a 52-week range of CA$17.90 to CA$50.77. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Seabridge Gold Inc. is a billboard sponsor of Streetwise Reports and pays SWR a monthly sponsorship fee between US$3,000 and US$6,000.</li> <li>As of the date of this article, officers, contractors, shareholders, and/or employees of Streetwise Reports LLC (including members of their household) own securities of Seabridge Gold Inc.</li> <li>Steve Sobek wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.
