Kitco MINING

Cabral Gold (TSXV: CBR) CEO Alan Carter says the company has achieved a major milestone with the granting of the Licença Prévia (“LP”) for the Full Mining License at Cuiú Cuiú Gold District, in the state of Pará, Brazil. “The trial mining licenses actually have a limit, so we can only mine about half a million tons a year, or about 1,500 tons a day,” he explained. “With the full mining license, there is no limit, so we can expand this to the full design capacity of 3,000 tons a day and way beyond that.”

“I think there's a good chance we will expand this once we get it up and running in about six months’ time.”

Carter said the company has approximately CAD$40 million in cash, and while they’re spending on the mine construction, they’re continuing to move forward with further exploration as well. “We're building a mine, but we still have our foot on the accelerator in terms of the exploration program,” he said. “We've basically split our workforce in two, so we've got a
dedicated construction team and a dedicated exploration team, and the exploration team is going full-tilt all the way through the construction, and are producing some excellent results.”

Panther Metals (LSE: PALM) is advancing the Winston tailings project in Ontario, where historic zinc-focused processing left behind potential value in precious and critical metals. The Winston mine operated from 1988 to 1999 and was once considered one of the highest-grade zinc operations in North America, but gold and silver were largely overlooked when prices were far lower.

Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026, CEO Darren Hazelwood said early sampling from the polymetallic tailings has already confirmed encouraging grades. “We ended up with grades of up to 0.82 grams a ton gold, over 13 grams a ton silver,” Hazelwood said. The samples came from the upper layer of a tailings pond that extends more than 18 meters deep in places and also contains gallium and indium.

Panther is now carrying out additional work aimed at delivering a maiden mineral resource estimate in the coming months. “The catalyst for us is definitely going to be the MRE on Winston,” Hazelwood said.

Aftermath Silver (TSXV: AAG) is advancing its Berenguela silver-copper-manganese project in Puno, Peru, where Founder and Executive Chairman Mike Williams says the deposit has grown into one of the larger undeveloped silver resources in the sector. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026, Williams said the project hosts “122 million ounces of silver measured and indicated” with “a further 20 million in inferred,” alongside about 870 million lb. of copper and roughly 3 million tons of manganese.

Williams said the company is preparing a pre-feasibility study expected later this year or in Q1 2027 and is targeting early silver output from the open-pit project. “Our goal is to end up between producing four to 5 million ounces of silver annually,” he said. Copper and manganese could provide byproduct credits that lower silver costs, while metallurgical work is advancing to produce high-purity manganese suitable for EV batteries. The company also plans drilling this year to follow up on a high-grade copper zone and expand silver mineralization across the deposit.

Prospector Metals (TSXV: PPP; OTCQB: PMCOF) is ramping up exploration at its ML project near Dawson City, Yukon, following a 2025 discovery and new strategic backing from gold producer B2Gold. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026, President & CEO Rob Carpenter said the company plans to increase drilling from about 6,000 meters completed in 2025 to more than 25,000 meters in 2026. The discovery campaign included a high-grade intercept at the TESS zone, where drilling returned 44 meters grading 13.79 g/t gold with copper and silver credits.

Carpenter said the goal this year is to grow the discovery and test the broader district-scale potential of the system. “Our objective is to expand that new discovery from last year, as well as show that the potential for this area to host district-scale or multiple deposits,” he said. Carpenter also pointed to a shift in exploration capital toward stable jurisdictions, noting that “Exploration dollars are coming home to Canada.”

OceanaGold (TSX: OGC) is targeting higher production and larger shareholder returns after delivering record revenue, EBITDA, net profit and free cash flow in 2025. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026 in Toronto, President & CEO Gerard Bond said strong operational discipline allowed the company to capture rising gold prices. “We were able to convert a lot of those higher gold prices to the bottom line, delivering those records.”

Production is expected to increase about 12% in 2026, driven primarily by the Haile mine in South Carolina after a waste removal program completed in 2025 unlocked higher-grade ore. “Haile is the primary driver of our growth in 2026,” Bond said, adding the operation is expected to produce 35% more gold at 25% lower all-in sustaining costs.

OceanaGold finished 2025 with no long-term debt and $477 million in cash. The company plans to invest about $280 million in growth capital in 2026, including $150 million to advance the Waihi North project in New Zealand, which Bond described as the company’s most significant near-term growth project. Bond also said OceanaGold will list on the New York Stock Exchange on April 7, 2026, to expand its investor base and improve liquidity.

Tocvan Ventures (CSE: TOC) is advancing its Gran Pilar gold-silver project in Sonora, Mexico, with a strategy that combines exploration drilling with a permitted pilot mining operation aimed at demonstrating heap leach production potential. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026, CEO Brodie Sutherland said the company spent three years consolidating the land package around a discovery first drilled by the Lundin Group in 1996. “We negotiated a deal to expand that property to 22 square kilometers,” Sutherland said, noting the company can now drill across the entire project area.

Tocvan has drilled close to 18,000 meters at Gran Pilar over the past five years and plans a minimum 20,000 meters in 2026 while advancing a pilot facility permitted to process an initial 50,000 tons of material. The company completed a 1,500-ton bulk sample in 2023, grading 1.9 g/t gold, and continues metallurgical work ahead of pilot operations planned later this year. “We’re getting over 95% recovery of gold,” Sutherland said, referring to lab-scale tests supporting the heap leach concept.

U.S. GoldMining Inc. (NASDAQ: USGO) has released a preliminary economic assessment for its Whistler project in Alaska, outlining average production of approximately 250,000 gold equivalent ounces per year over a 15-year mine life, including roughly 345,000 gold equivalent ounces annually in the first three years. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026, CEO Tim Smith said the study returned a 33% after-tax internal rate of return using base case assumptions of $3,200 gold and $4.50 copper.

Whistler contains more than 1 billion pounds of copper and nearly 20 million ounces of silver, with roughly 75% of project value derived from gold. “We are on state of Alaska mining claims, so we're just dealing with a single regulator,” Smith said, citing permitting advantages. Metallurgical testing achieved 89% gold recoveries, and higher-grade mineralization comes to surface, supporting stronger early production. At higher pricing assumptions, Smith said, “We go from 33 to 62%, after tax,” as the company advances toward pre-feasibility and prepares for additional district-scale drilling in 2026.

Trilogy Metals (NYSE American: TMQ; TSX: TMQ) CEO Tony Giardini joins Kitco Mining’s Investment Trends at PDAC 2026 to discuss renewed momentum around the Arctic copper project in Alaska’s Ambler mining district following recent permitting developments and growing U.S. government support for domestic critical minerals. The Arctic deposit hosts about 50 million tonnes grading roughly 5.6% copper equivalent, a high-grade volcanic massive sulfide system containing copper, zinc, silver, gold, and lead. “Right now it’s about, on a copper equivalent basis, it’s 5.6% copper equivalent,” Giardini said.

Giardini said recent policy developments could help unlock the long-delayed Ambler Access Road, which is critical to developing the district. Trilogy expects to begin the mine permitting process within the next couple of months while preparing a 2026 field program targeting 5,000 to 8,000 meters of drilling. The company is also advancing a definitive feasibility study at the asset level and expects to close a $35.6 million U.S. government investment for a 10% stake announced in October 2025. “We’ve got these two great deposits, Arctic and Bornite, which really set us apart from other development projects in the state of Alaska,” he said.

Radisson Mining (TSXV: RDS; OTCQB: RMRDF) CEO Matt Manson joins Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026 to discuss the company’s expanding O’Brien gold project in Quebec’s Abitibi region following a March 2, 2026 updated mineral resource estimate. The new estimate outlines about 1.69 million oz. inferred, up 82% from the previous estimate, and 0.63 million oz. indicated, bringing total contained gold to about 2.3 million oz. as Radisson advances its fully funded 140,000-meter step-out drill program. Manson said the system continues to grow, noting, “We think the ultimate target here is something that’s in the three to 4 million ounce range.”

The company is still early in the exploration campaign, with only about 25% of the drill program completed as it tests mineralization along the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break in Quebec’s Abitibi belt. Manson also argued that improving gold prices and strong producer balance sheets could drive more investment into the sector. “The junior sector is still seriously undervalued,” he said.

Kootenay Silver (TSXV: KTN) is expanding drilling at its Columba silver project in Chihuahua, Mexico, where the company is running a 60,000-meter program aimed at growing the 54.1 Moz inferred silver resource announced in June 2025. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026 in Toronto, President and CEO Jim McDonald said the program is focused on systematic 100-meter step-outs along wide, open-ended veins to define the limits of the known mineralized zones. “Our expectation is to be able to get this to a hundred million or maybe some multiple of that,” McDonald said.

Recent drilling results reported March 2, 2026 returned intercepts including 10 meters grading 503 g/t silver plus lead and zinc, as well as 9.88 meters grading 319 g/t silver, highlighting the scale potential of the system. McDonald said Kootenay is also advancing its La Cigarra silver project, where a preliminary economic assessment expected in mid to late Q2 2026 could mark a shift in strategy. “Assuming that we get a positive result in that PEA, we want to now be transitioning ourselves into an explorer developer as opposed to an explorer only,” he said.
