May 19Goliath Resources – Comprehensive Exploration Update In Preparation For The 2026 Drill Season Which Commences In June
Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF), joins us for a comprehensive exploration update reviewing the key takeaways from the 2025 exploration season and building towards the upcoming 2026 drill program at the the Surebet Discovery at the Golddigger Property; located in the Golden Triangle, B.C.

We started off reviewing the 64,000 meters (m) and 110 holes drilled in 2025, and the key geological lessons their team has learned at Surebet over the few drill seasons. The Company is in a strong financial position with a fully funded large 50,000m expansion drill program lined up in 2026, that will be testing the limits of the mineralization, pushing the geological thesis and deposits and their understanding of the multiple types of gold mineralization. This year’s program will be mainly focused on expanding their 5 Main Mineralized Zones at the Surebet Discovery. Data compilation and interpretation is underway which will be used to vector in on the indicated Motherlode causative intrusive source to this extensive high grade gold system with widespread VG-NE.

Golddigger Property announced a transaction on March 10th, where it now holds a 100% interest in the property. In addition, Goliath has bought down 1% of the 3% Net Smelter Returns (“NSR”) reducing it to a 2% NSR held by the Optionors. We also discussed the participation and investment in the B- ALL Syndicate and how this gives Goliath the option to receive 4% of the upside on the success of the syndicate and upside to companies held by it like Juggernaut Exploration (TSXV: JUGR) and Gold Runner Exploration Inc. (CSE: GRUN).

The exploration team will be mobilizing to the Golddigger Project later in the month of May, to begin drilling in June, and the results should start coming back in by July, so there will be a lot of work in the field and news from the company on tap for the balance of 2026.

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

May 17Elemental Royalty Corp – Acquisition of Vizsla Royalties, Q1 2026 Financials, and Multiple Strategies For Portfolio Growth
[Recorded on May 14th, 2026] Dave Cole, CEO of Elemental Royalty Corporation (TSX: ELE) (Nasdaq: ELE), joins me to unpack their news out on May 14th announcing that they have entered into a 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. We also review the Company’s Q1 2026 financials and their multiple strategies for continued royalty portfolio grow.

Vizsla Royalties Acquisition Transaction Highlights:
Combination of Vizsla Royalties’ silver-gold Panuco royalty with Elemental’s high-quality, diversified portfolio creates a platform of cash-flowing and near-term development royalties with long-term growth potential
Opportunity to gain exposure to a high-quality royalty over an advanced development project
Vizsla Royalties is projected to add approximately 7,500 GEOs[1] per year once in production, providing future revenue uplift as a new cornerstone asset in the Elemental portfolio, and material exposure to silver
Life of mine 2.0%-3.5% net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty, uncapped with no buy-backs or step-downs
Substantial exploration upside across a large, under-explored and highly prospective land package
Improved trading liquidity and enhanced capital markets profile, further strengthening Elemental as a leading intermediate royalty peer

Q1 2026 Financial Highlights
Record quarterly revenue of US$24.3 million, up 83% over revenue plus attributable share of Caserones in Q1 2025;
Gold Equivalent Ounces (“GEOs”) of 4,983 for Q1 2026 (4,606 in Q1 2025), driven by significant contributions from Karlawinda, Bonikro, Timok, and Caserones;
Record adjusted EBITDA of US$17.7 million, up 55% over adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2025, reflecting increased operating leverage and portfolio performance;
Operating cash flow of US$14.5 million, up 340% over adjusted operating cash flow1 in the comparative period demonstrating strong cash flow conversion; and
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026of US$69.1 million and working capital of US$92.5 million, demonstrating financial flexibility for growth.

Next, we touched upon some of the key gold and silver cornerstone assets within their royalty portfolio of 18 producing royalties, 30 advanced development assets, and ~200 total mineral royalties globally; diversified across multiple jurisdictions and across precious metals, critical minerals, and battery metals.

Dave points to 4 different approaches to continue to grow future value in Elemental Royalty Corp. Beyond the organic development growth still on tap within their portfolio of royalties, there is the future upside of their continued royalty generation strategy, the potential for larger future royalty acquisitions and/or royalty financings to create new royalties, and they are always reviewing the potential for accretive M&A opportunities. The company has plenty of firepower to pursue accretive transactions; with near ~$200Million in combined cash and working capital plus a revolving credit facility, with an accordion feature.

We also discuss the new dividend optionality 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. Dave believes their Company is 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.

If you have any follow up questions for Dave or the team at Elemental Royalty Corp, then please email those to me at [email protected].
In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Elemental Royalty Corp at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.

May 16 BP Silver – Fully-Funded Pathway To Road Construction, Channel Sampling, MAG Survey, Phase 2 Drilling, IP Survey, and Phase 3 Drilling At The Cosuño Silver Project
Tim Shearcroft, CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSXV: BPAG), joins me for a review of the fully-funded work programs and pathway to upcoming road construction, channel sampling, MAG Survey, Phase 2 Drilling, IP Survey, and Phase 3 Drilling at the Cosuño Silver Project in Bolivia. We discuss all the levels of exploration data that will collected at each step of all these processes, building upon the successful proof of concept from the initial Phase 1 drill program.

The 2026 work program consists of the following key components:

1. Construction of access roads to all principal Cosuño targets.

2. Systematic channel sampling of the principal vein and breccia structures exposed across the property.

3. Completion of a property-wide airborne magnetic ("MAG") survey.

4. A Phase 2 drilling program designed to follow up on the success of the Phase 1 campaign (see news releases dated February 2 and February 27, 2026). The Phase 2 program is budgeted for approximately 2,000 metres of drilling and will focus on:

• Testing extensions of high-grade silver intercepts encountered in DH CO-0008 and CO-0009 at Pocañita Chica
• Hole # CO-0008 returned 38 m @ 116.39 g/t Ag; including 5 m @ 660.40 g/t Ag; and including 1 m @ 1,655.00 g/t Ag
• Hole 3 eCO-0009 returned 58m @ 46.23 g/t Ag; including 6 m @ 147.10 g/t Ag; and including 1 m @ 526.00 g/t Ag.
• Initial testing of newly discovered targets by drilling shallow holes ranging from 50 to 100 metres in length. The 1,000-metre-long vein recently discovered at Jalsuri North East is anticipated to be one of these targets.

5. An induced polarization ("IP") geophysical survey over the principal Cosuño targets.

6. Completion of a Phase 3 drilling program. The Phase 3 program will benefit from the integration of geological mapping, channel sampling, MAG and IP geophysical surveys, and prior drilling results.

7. Together, these datasets are expected to improve significantly the Company's understanding of the geometry, continuity, scale, and tenor of the vein and breccia systems across Cosuño.

May 15Craig Hemke - Gold & Silver: Any Clarity On Future Direction?
In this Daily Editorial, we are joined by Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of the TF Metals Report, to dissect the recent volatile price action across the precious metals sector. As silver maintains its footing in a significantly higher price bracket compared to recent years, Craig provides a technical and fundamental outlook on where the floors and ceilings currently sit for the complex.
Key discussion points include:
Silver’s technical range-bound consolidation: Why the current $65–$95 range is providing critical lines of demarcation for investors and what a breakout above $95 would signify for the next leg higher.

Paradigm shifts in historical pricing: A look at why silver’s ability to hold above $85 - despite a rallying US Dollar and rising yields - suggests a fundamental change in market dynamics compared to previous cycles.
Copper’s influence on the silver trade: Exploring the "Dr. Copper" breakout to all-time highs and how industrial demand and supply hoarding in the red metal are providing a tailwind for silver.
Macro drivers and negative real rates: Why the long-term thesis remains tied to the inevitability of yield curve control and the return of deeply negative real interest rates.
