May 23Weekend Show - Rick Bensingor & Dan Steffens - Is Gold Ready to Explode? Plus, Top Oil Stock Picks
This week on The KE Report Weekend Show, we sit down with market legends Rick Bensignor and Dan Steffens to unpack a powerful macro shift in global markets. As inflation pressures mount and fiat currencies erode, Rick Bensignor breaks down the technical charts for gold, silver, and critical minerals - revealing the exact levels investors need to watch for the next major commodity breakout. Then, energy expert Dan Steffens joins the conversation to dissect the structural supply crisis in the oil patch, the staggering draws on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), and why top unhedged North American producers are positioned for massive free cash flow. Whether you are navigating precious metals or positioning for the energy squeeze, this episode delivers actionable data and top stock picks to help you stay ahead of the curve.
Segment 1 & 2 - Rick Bensignor, President of Bensignor Investment Strategies, provides a comprehensive chart-based analysis of multiple financial markets. He maintains a structurally bullish long-term outlook on gold due to currency devaluation but warns of a near-term correction down to the $3,700/oz range driven by a potential short-squeeze on the US dollar. Furthermore, Bensignor outlines why global interest rates have officially bottomed, notes that physical oil market metrics skew risks heavily to the upside, and cautions that the US equity market is flashing exhaustion signals after a historic vertical rally.

Segment 3 & 4 - Dan Steffens, President of the Energy Prospectus Group, joins the show to analyze the current volatility in the energy sector, focusing on the fundamental supply-demand squeeze in the oil market and the highly seasonal nature of natural gas prices. Throughout the discussion, Dan outlines several key investment opportunities, highlighting unhedged producers like Diamondback and EOG, specific Canadian plays such as Tourmaline and Whitecap, and the strong post-merger potential of special-situation stocks like Crescent Energy, SM Energy, and Devon Energy.

May 22Kingsmen Resources – Topographic Surveys Advancing Drill Targeting at Las Coloradas and Almoloya, Across The High-Grade Parral Silver-Gold District
Scott Emerson, President and CEO of Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF) joins us to review the completion of high-resolution satellite surveys of the Las Coloradas and Almoloya projects located in the Parral District, in Chihuahua, Mexico. We go on to discuss some of the key drill targets and exploration initiatives at these 2 silver and gold projects based on the various data sets their team has compiled.

Kingsmen is now preparing a comprehensive 3D compilation of topography, surface geochemical samples, magnetic data, induced polarization/resistivity data, geology and drill hole data for the Las Coloradas project. This integration of datasets, combined with the ongoing drill program, is identifying new drill targets and providing a clearer understanding of the vertical and lateral distribution of silver-gold mineralization — its variants, mineralized structures and their relationship to different geological units including sediments, volcanics and intrusives.

We start off with Scott briefly reviewing the 3,300-meter maiden reconnaissance drill program in 2025; with 12 holes that encountered broad intercepts and contained pockets of high-grade silver and gold mineralization for follow-up drilling around the historic Mine Target and DBD Target.

The company has raised capital for a fully-funded 15,000 meter follow-up program at both their Las Coloradas Project and initial drilling at the Almoloya Gold/Silver Project. At this point, about ¾ of the drilling will be stepping out and going deeper across Las Coloradas, while also testing a few compelling regional targets. Then there are 2 historic mine areas at Almoloya, with much different geology that will be drilled.

Las Coloradas High-Grade Silver Project
Step-out and deeper drilling planned on the high-grade Soledad and Soledad II vein systems, following up around the Mine and DBD zones
Approximately 700 metres of the Soledad structure remains to be tested
New priority regional drill targets emerging at Saddle, Silvia, Leona, and La Plata zones
Multiple large-scale, largely untested targets highlight district-scale discovery potential at Las Coloradas

Almoloya Gold/Silver Project
Initial diamond drilling planned on the gold-rich Juliettas structures
District-scale CRD and oxide potential identified at Cigarrero Mine área

Wrapping up Scott highlights the financial health of the company, the closing of the upsized bought deal financing in January, and the continued support from their key stakeholders. Scott reiterated that the future value creation will be determined with the drill bit, and will have plenty of exploration news on tap for the balance of this year.

If you have any questions for Scott regarding Kingsmen Resources, then please email those in to us at [email protected] or [email protected].

May 20Talisker Resources – Update On The Bralorne 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate, Mustang Mine Production, and Exploration and Development Across The Project
Terry Harbort, President and CEO of Talisker Resources (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX:TSKFF), joins me to review the key metrics and takeaways from the 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate, along with a production and exploration update at the Mustang Mine at their 100% owned Bralorne Gold Project in British Columbia. We also discuss the ongoing upsized 105,000 meter drill program, focused on the development towards Bralorne West and over into the Olympus Mine.

Highlights of the Bralorne Gold Project MRE:
Combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are estimated at 0.72 Mt at an average grade of 8.91 g/t gold. The MRE includes Measured Mineral Resources of 21,900 oz of gold at an average grade of 10.04 g/t gold and Indicated Mineral Resources of 184,400 oz of gold at an average grade of 8.80 g/t gold.
Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated at 11.23 Mt for 3,151,000 oz at an average grade of 8.73 g/t gold.
A total of 141 orogenic veins that comprise the Project’s vein systems were included in the MRE. The MRE is exclusive of mined out material.

The Company successfully transitioned over to shipping ore to Ocean Partners in Q1, with over 5,000 tonnes currently being crushed for shipping. To date in 2026 (through May 12, 2026), the Company has sold 2,675 ounces of gold, consisting of 770 ounces of concentrate and 1,905 ounces of Direct Shipping Ore (DSO), derived from 6,990 tonnes of mined material with an average grade of 8.48 g/t. Based on current estimates under the Ore Purchase Agreement, the Company expects estimated net proceeds of approximately $12.7 million, net of applicable deductions and adjustments, including transportation, treatment/refining under the Ore Purchase Agreement, and subject to final settlement.

Terry outlined the areas of ramp-up in production at the Mustang Mine, currently accessing about 6 ore faces at the 1040 and 1030 levels, with the plan to eventually get down to the 1015 and 980 levels later this year. The mining has been coming from the Alhambra Vein, BK Vein, and BK-9870 Vein, with plans to also begin accessing the Brumby Vein in the next couple of months.

Development work is continuing from the main area of the Mustang Mine over towards Bralorne West, with about 150 meters to go to be able to start accessing ore faces over in that part of the deposit.

As operations continue ramping up, expanding up to 500 tpd later this year, that the plan is then to keep developing over to increase mining from more areas including from Bralorne West to increase operations to 750-1,000 tpd about 2 years out.

Then further out the initiative is to put in a second portal into the historic Pioneer mining area to access the Olympus Mine to the southeast of the Mustang Mine, moving throughput up to the eventual target of 1,500 tpd.

Additionally, we explore how the mining process will be further upgraded utilizing ore-sorting technology by Q3 of this year. This ore-sorting will allow for shipping higher-grade material, with less associated waste, making it even more economical to be shipped to Ocean Partners.

On April 21, 2026, Talisker Resources announced that the Company has increased its diamond drill program from 30,000 metres to 105,000 metres. The program will consist of 83,000 metres of resource conversion drilling at the Mustang, Bralorne West and Olympus areas and 22,000 metres of exploration drilling targeting veins at Congress and Pioneer Deeps. Terry further unpacks the goals of this largest drill program to date at each of these areas and how this will set the company up for its growth initiatives for years to come.

If you have any follow up questions for Terry regarding Talisker Resources, then please email me at [email protected].
In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Talisker Resources at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.
