This Australian ASX small-cap analysis breaks down Resolution Minerals (RML.ASX) and its US-focused Horse Heaven project in Idaho. Craig Lindsay, head of US operations, outlines why antimony, tungsten and gold are core to the plan, the permitting and drilling progress, and the path to production and a Nasdaq listing via Roth Capital. The 14,000‑acre Horse Heaven package sits adjacent to the Stibnite mine and has historic antimony and tungsten production. A 6,000‑metre drill programme is underway this year to test Golden Gate and Antimony Ridge, with potential to expand into a larger district‑wide story. Craig also covers funding strategies, including non‑dilutive grants from the US defence sector, a potential Snow Lake Resources bid, and the Nasdaq listing process.

In this episode, AVM CEO Adam McKinnon explains how Advanced Metals (ASX: AVM) is positioning for growth as a copper and critical minerals explorer with a growing Mexican portfolio and a Victorian gold project. The company pursues a two-path strategy: strong North American silver-gold assets alongside high-grade Australian targets, with a focus on low-cost exploration and value-add through strategic deals.

Key highlights include the Guadalupe Icalvo (GYC) project in Chihuahua, Mexico, which sits alongside Yiquibo and Gabalanes to deliver about 100 million ounces of silver equivalent (well over a million ounces of gold equivalent). GYC has 816,000 oz gold equivalent and 60.6 million oz silver equivalent in the resource, acquired from Endeavour Silver on favourable terms, and complements the portfolio's growth potential as metal prices move.

In Australia, Myrtleford and Beaufort in Victoria hold high-grade potential, with early drill results at Myrtleford including 160 g/t intervals and standout shows at Happy Valley. The company plans further drilling along strike to expand the footprint.

Adam also covers capital management, the value proposition versus peers (AVM trading at around 12 cents per ounce of silver equivalent) and the near-term catalysts investors should watch for, including revised resource numbers and drill results from Victoria and Mexico.

As the story unfolds, AVM’s agile approach and active in-ground programme could reshape how the market weights its assets. Stay with us as AVM advances its Mexico and Victoria plays and shares more drill news and milestones.

In this ASX small-cap analysis, Kingston Resources (KSN.ASX) dives into the current strategic trajectory: the Missima Gold Project sale, a debt-free balance sheet and a bold Mineral Hill exploration and expansion programme. CEO Andrew Corbett explains how the $50 million cash from Missima is being allocated across debt repayment, drilling for organic growth, and plant optimisation to de-risk and extend the mine life.

What you’ll learn:

- A detailed look at the 40,000 metre drilling programme over the next two years, split roughly 50/50 between greenfield discoveries and extending current resources.

- The plan for one underground and one surface drill rig running by November, targeting a near-term expansion of Mineral Hill’s capacity and mine life.

- Kingston’s hub-and-spoke strategy for Mineral Hill, including staged mill expansion and potential cross-feed from third-party ore while maintaining a solid base load.

- Leadership updates at Mineral Hill (Melanie McCarthy as General Manager; Jeff Merrill shifting to growth and studies) and what that means for project delivery and capex.

- Kingston’s broader five-year to ten-year growth outlook in copper and gold, with a focus on brownfield assets, existing processing capability, and a strong balance sheet to fund growth.

Key takeaways from the interview include Kingston’s aim to achieve a 10-year mine life at Mineral Hill at 350,000 tonnes per annum (tpa), with a clear path to 2,000 tpa through staged expansion and internal organic growth before considering outside ore sources. The video also covers the risks of underground ramp-up, people capability, and the company’s commitment to diversity and local employment as a core part of its culture.
