Kit Marrs of Alaska Silver joined Trevor from the VRIC floor to discuss the company's new resource estimate for the Illinois Creek deposit. Numbers show Indicated Mineral Resources of 9.0Mt @ 0.92 g/t gold and 29.72 g/t silver containing 260,000 ounces of gold and 8.3 million ounces of silver and Inferred Mineral Resources of 10.9Mt @ 0.84 g/t gold and 30.1 g/t silver containing 290,000 ounces of gold and 10.4 million ounces of silver. Kit also shares insights into the new Silver Sage target.

In this episode of Mining Stock Daily, host Michael McCrae is joined by Craig Parry, CEO and Executive Chair of Vizsla Copper (TSX-V: VCU), who lays out next steps for the company's Palmer asset, which the company acquired in December for $25 million.

The two discussed gaining government support and looking ahead to where copper prices will settle. The two also discussed the company's plans for Vizsla Copper's B.C. assets.

John Skeet of Mithril Silver and Gold provides an exploration update on the company's Copalquin property, Durango State, Mexico. The company continues to attack Target 1 with an updated resource likely in the relatively near future. The company is also drilling target 3.

Gold and silver surged to historic highs as investor risk appetite hit its strongest level in five years, with copper also pushing toward record territory amid bullish macro signals and heavy conference-season momentum. In this episode of Mining Stock Daily, host Michael McCrae recaps the latest metals market moves:

• The U.S. government announced a $1.6 billion funding package for USA Rare Earth, taking a 10% stake as the company advances a magnet production facility in Oklahoma targeting 2026 production.

• Collective Mining expanded its Ramp Zone with its highest-grade and deepest intercept to date, highlighting Apollo’s potential as a major future gold mine in Colombia.

• Radisson Mining reported new high-grade drill results at its O’Brien Project in Québec, extending mineralization to its deepest levels yet.

• Integra Resources delivered 70,927 ounces of gold in its first full year of production at Florida Canyon, meeting guidance and completing $60 million in planned capital investments.

• Ridgeline Minerals appointed Rio Tinto executive Ryan Walchuck to its board, strengthening its mining finance and development expertise.

• Vizsla Copper received formal support from the Governor of Alaska for the Palmer Project, reinforcing its strategic importance to domestic copper and critical minerals supply.

Ivan Bebek, Founder, Director, Chair, and CEO of Coppernico Metals, joins host Michael McCrae on Mining Stock Daily from the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference to unpack what he calls a “new paradigm” for metals markets. With gold pushing record highs and copper trading near historic levels, Bebek argues the sector is still in the early innings of a powerful, multi-year bull market—particularly for copper.

Bebek explains why surging demand from electrification, AI data centers, infrastructure modernization, and electric vehicles is colliding with a tight global copper supply. New discoveries are scarce, existing mines are aging and declining in grade, and building new copper mines now takes decades due to massive capital requirements, social and permitting challenges, and logistical bottlenecks. Money alone, he says, can’t solve the problem—time is the real constraint.

The conversation also explores why M&A is poised to accelerate as major miners, flush with cash and higher share prices, look to replace depleting reserves. Bebek discusses Coppernico’s strategy of chasing higher-grade copper targets and why major miners like Newmont and Teck are already shareholders.

Touching on lessons from past bull markets, cost inflation risks, and the importance of grade, Bebek makes a compelling case that copper prices have much further to run—and that discoveries, not capital, will ultimately define the winners in this cycle.

In this episode of Mining Stock Daily, guest Tomasz Nadrowski, Portfolio Manager of Amvest Terraden Critical Materials Fund, joins the program to explore how critical minerals have transformed from a mere industry linchpin into a primary driver of global "mineral warfare." Nadrowski, the author of "Mineral War", explains how China has weaponized its production-focused economy to monopolize value chains, forcing Western nations to begin defending their strategic interests. The sources suggest that the minerals race is no longer decided by geology alone, but by complex processing pathways and the surrounding policy environments,. The discussion provides deep insights into the logistical hurdles of rebuilding Western supply chains, noting how a single mineral may cross the Pacific multiple times before becoming a finished product. The conversation further examines the "militarization of capital" and the increasing role of government intervention in directing strategic investment toward national security. Finally, the episode highlights the strategic importance and practical limitations of jurisdictions like Greenland and Ukraine in this era of intense geopolitical realignment.
