July 21Aztec Minerals - Record Drill Results and Upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate at Tombstone
In this Company Update, Simon Dyakowski, President and CEO of Aztec Minerals (TSX.V: AZT / OTCQB: AZZTF), joins me to discuss the recent extremely long width and high-grade drill results from the Tombstone Project in Arizona, highlighted by one of the thickest intersections ever recorded at the property. We discuss how advanced drilling techniques, deep targets, and improved assay turnaround times are positioning the company for its upcoming maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).
Key topics covered include:
Record-Breaking Drill Intersections: A look at hole TR26-30 (155.4 m averaging 1.08 gpt Au and 30.23 gpt Ag (1.63 gpt AuEq) within 198.1 m averaging 0.86 gpt Au and 24.52 gpt Ag (1.30 gpt AuEq)) and why the thickness and gold-silver grades mark a major milestone for the Tombstone property.
Expanding Beyond the Main Pit: How current reverse circulation (RC) drilling is pushing mineralization to the east and north, unlocking new exploration potential.
Testing Deep CRD Potential: Insights into the core drilling program, downhole geophysics, and what early observations reveal about deeper mineralized systems.
Timeline to Maiden Resource Estimate: An update on total meterage completed, improved lab turnarounds, and the expected target date for the initial MRE.

Please email me any questions you have for Simon. My email address is [email protected].

July 17Elemental Royalty Corp – Visual Tour Through Key Producing and Development Royalty Assets, Recent Acquisitions, and Big Picture Value Proposition
Dave Cole, CEO, and Fred Bell, President and COO, of Elemental Royalty Corporation (TSX: ELE) (Nasdaq: ELE), both join me for a visual tour through their key producing and development royalty and streaming assets.

We start off reviewing the key cornerstone gold and copper assets within their royalty portfolio of 18 cash-flowing royalties, 28 advanced development assets, and ~250 total mineral royalties globally; diversified across multiple jurisdictions and across precious metals, critical minerals, and battery metals.

In the process of going over key assets we touched upon the key news out yesterday on July 15th, regarding their strategic US$25 million investment package with Quilla Resources Inc. and its subsidiary Minera Pampa de Cobre S.A.C. (“MPC”) to expand Elemental’s royalty exposure to the producing Chapi Copper Project in Peru and support Quilla’s next phase of growth. Elemental acquired an additional perpetual, uncapped 1.0% NSR royalty over Quilla’s Pampa Negra and Candelaria concessions, increasing Elemental’s royalty interest to a total of 3.0% NSR

We also unpack the rationale and risk/reward proposition from their news out on May 14th announcing the definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Vizsla Royalties Corp. (TSX-V: VROY; OTCQX: VROY) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement.

The new dividend has highlighted, which provides investors the option of being paid in either cash or Tether Gold tokens, (which are backed by physical gold); and the corresponding value of having Tether Investments S.A. de C.V as their key stakeholder. Their board of directors believes that Elemental Royalty Corp is currently positioned on the cutting edge of marrying the value of hard assets anchored in commodities and royalty instruments, with the interest from investors in the utility of digital assets.

July 16West Red Lake Gold - Q2 Ramp-Up In Operations At The Madsen Mine Demonstrated Increased Mined Ounces and Higher Gold Production
Shane Williams, President and CEO Of West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me to review the key metrics from Q2 operations which demonstrated substantially higher mined ounces and gold produced at their flagship Madsen Gold Project, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada.

Q2 Operating Highlights
Mined tonnage increased 46% to 75,524 tonnes in Q2 from 51,616 tonnes in Q1, while mined ounces increased 73% to 10,459 ounces from 6,033 ounces in the first quarter, reflecting both higher mining rates and an increase in average mined grade.
Gold production totaled 8,576 ounces during Q2 2026, representing a 51% increase from the 5,667 ounces produced in Q1 2026.
Due to increased mine productivity a surface stockpile of approximately 10,768 tonnes had been generated by the end of Q2 representing approximately 1,500 contained ounces of gold based on estimated grades.
The mill achieved average processing rates of approximately 842 tonnes per day (“tpd”). Over the second half of 2026, processing rates are expected to increase to approximately 1,000 tpd.

Shane reviewed that the development-focused strategy implemented during the first half of 2026 is now translating into measurable operating improvements as mine sequencing advanced to unlock multiple stoping fronts and operational flexibility continued to improve. Additionally, all the exploration success had at the 4447 Zone is now factoring into mining and production here in H2, and he points to all the recent success at the 904 Zone having a similar trajectory with first mining anticipated in H2 of 2027.

Next we discussed the higher All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) in Q4 and Q1 and how the ongoing ramp-up in production will steadily lower the costs over the next few quarters. Shane highlighted that in the second half of this year that the shaft will be rehabilitated and begin hoisting ore, and this will further drive down costs over the next few quarters. The steady nameplate run-of-mine production and costs will likely be achieved in 2027 and beyond. We also discussed that the higher oil and diesel prices were not a major cost input and have very muted effect on their underground mining operations where the site mostly runs on cheap hydroelectric power.

We then discussed the next phase of growth which will see satellite deposits like Fork, Starratt-Olsen, and eventually Rowan augment the production at Lower Austin and Austin South at Madsen. The Company will be putting out a Pre-Feasibility Study in September wrapping updated economics around Madsen and factoring in how future production from Rowan would increase production growth and take the company to the next level of producer.

Wrapping up we discussed the many areas of focus for exploration and resource expansion, including greenfield surface targets, past producing brownfield areas like Starratt-Olsen and Mt Jamie, and underground targets as the company continues to dewater areas of Madsen that haven’t been touched by modern exploration or mining; with last mining occurring back in the 1960s and 1970s.

July 15Goliath Resources – First 10 Step-Out Drill Holes Of The 2026 Program Hit Gold Mineralization Extending The Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone
Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF), joins me for an exploration update reviewing the visual takeaways and geological interpretation from the first 10 holes from the 2026 drill program at the Surebet Discovery on the Golddigger Property; located in the Golden Triangle, B.C. Multiple step-out intercepts of gold-bearing mineralization have expanded the Bonanza Zone by 750 meters to the southwest, the Golden Gate Zone by 400 meters to the south and 200 meters to the north.

The Company is in a strong financial position with a fully funded large 50,000 meter expansion drill program lined up in 2026, that will be testing the limits of the mineralization, as well as pushing the geological thesis and their understanding of the multiple types of gold mineralization.
All drill holes completed thus far during the 2026 drill campaign have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which generally corresponds to high-grade gold mineralization.
10 out of 107 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 4,983 m drilled in 2026.
Visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) has been intersected in multiple veins and shear zones from 6 out of 10 holes drilled in 2026, continuing to confirm the consistency of the mineralization within the Surebet system that remains wide open in multiple directions
Assays are pending on all 2026 drill holes completed to date.
5 drill rigs are turning at present, and 2 more rigs are on-site and will start up in a week.

This year’s program will be mainly focused on expanding their 5 Main Mineralized Zones at the Surebet Discovery. Much of the focus on these initial holes was stepping out and expanding the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone. Data compilation and interpretation is underway which will be used to potentially vector in on the indicated Motherlode causative intrusive source to this extensive high grade gold system with widespread VG-NE.

If you have any questions for Roger about Goliath Resources, then please email them to me at [email protected] .
