Head of QI Research, Danielle DiMartino Booth, joins us from Boca following her keynote presentation at the Rule Symposium. Danielle believes the recession officially began in October of this past year and shows the theories and data to back her claim. So why hasn't the Fed come to the rescue? And with the tremendous amount of housing supply coming online, has that sector overdone it?

We connect with Paul Fowler of Magna Mining to discuss the latest drill results out of the Crean Hill project near Sudbury. Highlights included higher grade copper (5.0 % Cu, 0.7% Ni, 12.8 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 15.2 metres) as the company moves the project towards advanced exploration and a milling agreement for its 109 Footwall Zone.

Chad Peters, CEO of Ridgeline, provides an update on the early exploration and data collection work happening at the new Big Blue porphyry project in Nevada. The company is compiling data from an IP Geophysics survey. There are also encouraging sampling results from the project which continue to show prospectivity of the area around the historic Delker Mine.

Trevor sits down with Meridian Mining CEO Gilbert Clark to cover this morning's news regarding new drill results out of the Cabaçal Cu-Au-Ag project and the Santa Helena Cu-Au-Ag & Zn project. Clark also discusses the decision to push the expected PFS for Cabaçal to Q1 2025 due to the need for more quality data. We also discuss the importance of multiple assets in development companies given recent developments from the sector.

In this conversation, CEO Zach Flood discusses the latest drill results and baseline studies at the Frotet project in Quebec. The drill results showed consistent high-grade gold intercepts, and the infill drilling is leading to an update of the geologic model. The company plans to share more information on the model and aims to complete a resource estimate by the end of 2025. Additionally, Zach talks about the potential development of a decline to allow year-round drilling and access underground. Kenorland Minerals has no more funding obligations on the project and plans to transition Sumitomo into Operatorship.

Ascot Resources CEO Derek White provides an update on the company's mining operations and mill commissioning. He discusses the challenges they faced in completing stoping mining without a second egress and the need to establish proper production. White also talks about the lower-than-expected grades in Q2 and the struggles they encountered in the mill, particularly with the carbon in leach process. He mentions the importance of getting the mill to run consistently and the need for better grade ore to improve recoveries.

Adriatic Metals CEO, Paul Cronin, provides an update on the Rupice mine on the Vares project in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The mine has experienced delays due to equipment delivery issues and the termination of the mining contractor. However, the company has shipped its first concentrates and received its first cash inflow. The plant is working well. The mine's development is expected to have economic benefits for the community, including improved infrastructure and healthcare. Adriatic Metals is also exploring expansion and potential acquisitions to diversify its portfolio.

Newcore Gold has started a new 10,000 meter drill program at their Enchi Gold Project in Ghana. The program aims to expand the known resource and convert inferred resources to indicated resources. The company plans to focus on infill drilling at their two largest resource areas, as well as explore other resource areas. The drilling will primarily be shallow, with holes ranging from 50 to 150 meters in depth. The company has secured funding for the drill program through the exercise of warrants.
