Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF), joins me for an update on all the development work, metallurgical studies, and exploration results that will be feeding into the upcoming bulk sample, and 2-Phase economic studies around their 100% owned high-grade Perron Gold Project located in Quebec, Canada. Additionally, the Company has made 2 recent acquisitions in Ontario, in addition to staking claims, substantially increasing the size of their land position across this deformation zone of gold mineralization.
We start off getting a sense of the high-grade nature from their updated Resource Estimate, hosting 2.3 million ounces of gold in all categories, with 1.615 million in Measured and Indicated, and 698,000 in Inferred. The largest portion of those resources come from the Champagne Zone, but with strong contributions from the Grey Cat, Gratien, Western Denise, and Team Zones.
There have been metallurgical studies demonstrating above 95% recovery rates of the gold from these different zones, with upwards of 99% recovery rates at the Champagne Zone, using gravity separation on the front end and cyanidation on the back end, without the need for a flotation process in the middle. This keeps the processing very simple and straightforward.
The workstreams are leading towards updated economics in Q1 of this year, envisioning an initial 4-5 year toll-milling scenario where high-grade ore is trucked to a nearby mill, generating the revenues to pay for the 2nd phase processing plant on their property. This will all be preceded by a coming bulk sample from the Champagne Zone that will produce enough gold during 2026 and early 2027 to generate ~$100Million at today’s metals prices, and this will fund the move into toll milling from 2028 through 2032.
The most recent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) at US$2,500/oz gold Bas Case assumptions highlighted a Post-tax NPV5% of $1.085Billion, with an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 70.1% and 1.4 year payback period. Victor outlined how these economics are far surpassed to the upside when factoring in the metals sensitivities of todays spot gold pricing backdrop.
We also got into the exploration focus of the company that plans to drill 100,000 meters, from both around the known deposit at Perron, as well as their newly acquired Perron West, Abbotsford, Hepburn, and staked lands in Ontario, Canada. There will be plenty of drill assay news coming out to the marketplace consistently throughout 2026 as the Project resources continue to grow.
We wrap up discussing the financial health of Amex Exploration, after having raised $37Million in the most recent financing, which saw their key strategic shareholder, Eldorado Gold Corp, increase their holdings to a 27% position. We note the expanding analyst coverage, coming first nations agreements, permitting updates, and other key milestones on tap for 2026.
If you have any questions for Victor regarding Amex Exploration, then please email them into me at [email protected], and we’ll get those addressed or covered in future interviews.
In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Amex Exploration at the time of this recording.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of Junior Miner Junky, joins me to review the hurricane of fundamentals factors that are fueling gold, silver, platinum, and copper to new all-time highs to here in the first few trading sessions of 2026. We also dive into how this affecting the PM mining stocks.
We start off reviewing the very strong close to 2025 with many metals closing up the year at the all-time closes on the monthly, quarterly, and annual charts, and how that moved pricing into this year in a strong technical posture.
Dave points out that we thought we had a “perfect storm” of factors in place last year with the central bank buying, runaway fiscal debt, Fed rate cuts, and dollar weakness throughout the year, and then all these other factors started stacking on top of those to form a huge hurricane of additional factors.
We reviewed the recent strength in the physical metals prices over the futures prices.
Dave notes that while many precious metals stocks have already gone up multiple-fold on a percentage basis over last year, that it has gotten to a point where many stopped reacting as much to metals prices that have continued moving to even higher levels.
Wrapping up we talk about where the gold and silver stock valuations are today at $100 and below for an ounce of gold delineated in the ground or $2-$5 an ounce of silver defined in development projects.

Glenn Jessome, President & CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX.V:SLVR – OTCQX:SLVTF), joins us for a comprehensive update on all the development work going on at ground level now that the Company has secured all of the required approvals and permits from the Mexican Federal Environmental Department (“SEMARNAT”) to construct the El Tigre Stockwork Silver-Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico. We also discuss the upcoming underground PEA, set for release later this month, the coming regional drill programs to the north and south of El Tigre, and the capital management flexibility that the company has moving into 2026.
With all approvals for the Project now granted, Silver Tiger is advancing the El Tigre Project towards construction over the 18-month plan, as outlined in the October 2024 Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) for the Project. Glenn shares with us the many earlier-stage initiatives their operations team, led by VP of Operations, Francisco Albelais, was working on for the last half of 2025, like building the 365 day per year haulage road, and the 6 months of detailed engineering work that is mostly completed and gives them a large head start on hitting the ground running now that the permit is in hand.
Glenn highlights that in addition to more land clearing and surface earth works, that a key initiative is optimizing the road already built with a new bridge currently in review with engineering and slated to be built over the next few months. Another priority is the building of the camp to house all the staff that will be working on-site from here on out. Additionally, there will be water wells completed, and all the workstreams that flow into the final engineering plan. All of this derisking sets the company up for even better debt terms, and gives them a huge head start into the eventual mine construction beginning over the course of this year.
We also recap all the exploration, development, and derisking work that has gone into the upcoming imminent release of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the underground mine, set to release to the market later in January. The team at Silver Tiger has been compiling the last 5 years of work delineating the 113 million ounces of silver equivalent resources in the high-grade veins, shale, and sulphide zones underground portion of El Tigre, the metallurgical studies, and engineering work to be able to release the upcoming PEA early in Q1. This report will center around the already permitted underground scenario utilizing an 800 tonnes-per-day (tpd) mill, and focusing on the initial first 10 years of mine life.
With regards to the capital management strategy, and the coming debt term sheets and how the company will fund the remaining capex for the mine build, Glenn shares the flexibility and optionality that their team now has, after having raised CAD$40 Million bought deal financing with a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets and Stifel Nicolaus Canada in the late Fall last year. When combined with the ~CAD$30 million the company already had in their treasury, they essentially have a large percentage of the US$85 million capex needed to build the bulk tonnage surface mine at El Tigre. This means that they can negotiate less restrictive debt covenants, giving them the flexibility to keep pursuing work on the underground strategy, as well as regional exploration to the north and south of El Tigre.
If you have any follow up questions for Glenn regarding Silver Tiger Metals, then please email them into me at [email protected].

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of the TF Metals Report, joins me to kick off the first full trading week of 2026, reviewing the strong close to end last year, and the even stronger start to this year in gold, silver, copper, and the precious metals stocks. We also break down the macroeconomic factors that matter moving into the year to come.
We start off reviewing the big moves higher today across the metals complex with gold, silver, copper, at or near all-time highs in what is typically a quite seasonally strong period of the year for this part of the commodities sector.
Craig points out that while the metals have been undeniably strong, that the related mining stocks have only had lackluster responses over the last few weeks, considering how much their profit margins and project economics have expanded.
When we look at where metals prices are here to kick off the year in early January they are a levels that are so much higher than those average prices in Q4, that it is hard to imagine that Q1 isn’t going to see even higher average metals prices, and thus even higher record revenues or project economics.
One factor that has continued to tamp down futures pricing in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium over the last few weeks has been the COMEX rising of margin requirements. Many investors are concerned that if this raising of margins requirements persists that it could trigger a selling cascade lower. Craig weighs on the history and dynamics around these moves by the Chicago commodities exchange.
The conversation then transitions over into what factors are going to keep underpinning higher metals prices.

The first KE Report Weekend Show of 2026 sets the stage for a year that could look very different across commodities and energy markets. The show explores how precious metals captured investor attention after a volatile end to 2025, why sentiment toward hard assets appears to be shifting, and what that could mean as the new year unfolds. The conversation then pivots to oil and natural gas, examining how a weak commodity tape contrasted with resilient equity performance and why select opportunities may be emerging beneath the surface. Overall, the show focuses on big-picture trends, market psychology, and how investors might think about positioning for 2026 amid ongoing volatility and changing fundamentals.

Christopher Aaron, Founder of iGold Advisor, Elite Private Placements, and Senior Editor at the Gold Eagle website, joins me to review his short-term and longer-term technical outlook on Silver, silver stocks via (SIL) relative to silver, Gold, and the long-term DOW:Gold ratio chart.
This is a longer-format video where we really dive into the technical analysis setups in the precious metals sector, and he lays out the historical case and patterns to why we haven’t even seen the really big moves yet in either the potential price targets for the metals or the catchup trade still in front of investors for the junior gold and silver stocks.
Christopher lays out the technical case for why silver is likely going up into a 3X-5X move from the $50 breakout, even if we see one more corrective consolidation move in the near-term. He points to the propensity of commodities to make moves like this when breaking out of long base-building periods, citing prior moves like this in gold, copper, platinum, and oil. We also check in on the SIL:Silver ratio chart and note the stark undervaluation and muted leverage thus far in the silver equities, and how they are going make a large catchup move in the years to come.
Next we shift over to his Christopher’s technical outlook on gold from a short to medium-term perspective, and in the context of all the historic data from the move in gold from pegged to the US dollar and post the unpegging and freely trading gold price over the last 5+ decades.
Wrapping up we discuss what he feels is the most important chart, the longer-term data from the DOW:Gold ratio, and that we are setting up for the “Fourth Turning” in how gold will be revalued relative to general US equities. This is the key chart to follow as it relates to seeing a rotation from generalist investors in tradition equities to precious metals equities.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me for an end of the year wrap up, and a look ahead to 2026. We contrast how different stages of companies are reacting, or not reacting, to the higher underlying metals prices, across the producers, developers, and explorers; as well as where Erik sees the most fundamental catalysts stacking up that are not being properly recognized in current company valuations.
We review the continued strange dichotomy between surging precious metals prices and the lagging reactions in many junior gold and silver stocks from 2024 into 2025, but look ahead to when we may see more capital rotate down into the PM junior stocks heading in 2026.
Since the producers can immediately monetize the higher gold and silver and platinum prices, they have run much more over the last year than the pre-revenue companies. With regards to the junior explorers and developers, he sees the metals prices as merely a tailwind to their coming newsflow and that those fundamental catalysts are much more relevant for any changes to the company’s valuation (either up or down).
Erik points to the developers in the 2nd leg of the Lassonde Curve, like Montage Gold that have derisked large projects and been rewarded, or developers that successfully have moved into production, like Artemis Gold as examples of the kind of moves that other stocks may go on as this precious metals bull market matures.
* In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.
