- Weekend Show - Dana Lyons & Rick Bensignor - 2026 Playbook: Metals Momentum, Market Breadth, What Comes After the “Mag-7” Era
As 2025 closes with major indexes near highs - but investors still oddly cautious - Dana Lyons and Rick Bensignor step back to map the setup for 2026. The common thread: market participation (breadth) is improving, leadership is rotating beyond mega-cap tech, and precious metals remain one of the most durable trends, while crypto and AI require more selective timing.
- Segment 1 & 2 - We kick off the KE Report Weekend Show with Dana Lyons, fund manager and editor of the Lyons Share Pro, who wraps up 2025 by sharing his technical and cycle-based outlook for equities, sector rotation, and sentiment heading into 2026. Dana discusses why his models remain constructive on the broad market, highlights improving small- and mid-cap participation, outlines key sector leadership trends, and explains why precious metals remain the strongest long-term opportunity while cryptocurrencies face near-term technical headwinds.

1 hr 2 min - Power Metallic Mines – More High-Grade Drill Results Expanding the Lion Zone at Deep Target, Upcoming drilling at Lion West, Tiger Deep, and Hydro Fold Hinge Targets
Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic Mines (TSX.V: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV), joins me for a comprehensive exploration update from their fully funded 100,000-meter drill program at the polymetallic NISK Project in Quebec. We discuss recent drill results from a deep hole at the Lion Zone, pending results still at the assay lab, but also look ahead to 4 key exploration targets of interest for early 2026 drilling.
Key Highlights from the Interview:
- Exploration Strategy: A six-rig program focused on expanding the mineralized around the Lion Zone and at depth in the “elephant zone,” and also at Lion West, at the Tiger Deep Zone, and new polymetallic targets from surveys at the Hydro Fold-Hinge Zone. Additionally the team is still drilling to connect the 5.5km corridor and “Gap Area” between Lion and NISK Main.
- There are still about 15,000-20,000 meters of core being processed at the lab that should be back by late January, and then 65,000 additional meters that will be drilled throughout 2026.
- 40 Meters of 12.18% Cu (14.34% CuEqRec) included within 20.40 meters of 2.91% Cu (3.58% CuEqRec) in Hole 25-029b at Lion, and Completes the Extension of PN-24-064 “elephant hole” to define large BoreHole EM anomaly at depth. Terry points out that the exploration team is more animated by the follow up hole here after collecting more electro-magnet information from this most recent hole.
- Resource Growth Path: Early-stage modeling efforts are enabling analysts and investors to build their own interpretations of scale, while metallurgical studies are underway with results set to release in early Q1 to confirm high recovery rates.
- Acquisition of Li-FT Power land: Back on July 14, 2025 the Company announced that it closed a definitive agreement dated June 9, 2025 to acquire a 100% interest in 313 mineral claims totalling 167 km² from Li-FT Power Ltd. (TSXV: LIFT) (OTCQX: LIFFF). The claims adjoin the Company’s 45.86km² Nisk property, where exploration is expanding the high–grade Lion Cu–PGE discovery and the Nisk Copper-Nickel-Platinum-Palladium-Gold-Cobalt deposit. Terry explains how there are 8 very high priority drill targets that the exploration team is following up on across this newly acquired land.
- Phase 1 Metallurgical Testing of Lion Deposit: On Oct. 16th, Power Metallic announced that preliminary metallurgical studies are underway being performed by SGS Canada Ltd at its laboratories based in Quebec City, QC, and Lakefield, ON. Work to date has shown that the copper mineralization is contained within coarse grained chalcopyrite and cubanite, both which should respond well to conventional sulphide concentration methods. Overall, the character of the mineralization suggests good recoveries of copper sulphides, and these initial metallurgical tests will determine the recovery potential of the PGEs, Au, Ag, and Ni., which are expected to report within a conventional sulphide concentrate.
If you have any questions for Terry regarding Power Metallic Mines, then please email them into me at [email protected].

- Dave Erfle - Are PM Stocks Underperforming This Breakout In Price?
In this year-end daily editorial, Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of Junior Miner Junky, recaps a historic week that saw gold hit an intraday all-time high of $4,400 and silver surge to $67 per ounce.
Despite these parabolic moves in the metals, the junior mining equities have shown a lackluster response, leading to a "broken reaction" in the sector. Dave analyzes why investors are booking profits despite massive expansion in producer margins and explains why he believes the current physical silver squeeze, driven by five years of structural deficits, is far more resilient than the paper-driven speculation seen in 2011.
2025 Precious Metals Recap
- Record-Breaking Prices: Gold ends the year testing $4,400, while silver hit $67 this week—a 130% year-to-date gain for the white metal.
- The Stock Disconnect: While majors remain near highs, juniors are lagging. Dave notes they are technically overbought but remain "under-owned" and undervalued relative to their Net Asset Value (NAV) and NPV economics.
- Physical Squeeze vs. Margin Hikes: Unlike the speculative peak in 2011, this rally is driven by a physical silver deficit. Recent 50% margin hikes failed to cool the price, signaling a fundamental shift in market mechanics.
- Safe Haven Shift: Gold has officially surpassed Treasuries as the preferred safe-haven asset for central banks and institutional portfolios (shifting the traditional 60/40 to a 60/20/20 gold-heavy allocation).
- 2026 Outlook: As miners prepare to report record-breaking Q4 financials in February, Dave expects a continued rerate, specifically for high-risk juniors in jurisdictions like Bolivia where political shifts are unlocking deep value.

[Recorded December 17th, 2025]: Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to update us on the value proposition he see in 3 gold exploration stocks, based around recent press releases and milestones.
He sees this newsflow and fundamental catalysts as much more relevant for any changes to the company’s valuation (either up or down), rather than the improving sentiment within the backdrop of rising underlying precious metals price environment.
The companies we discuss in this interview are:
- Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (FSE: MX0) (OTCQX: AMXEF) – On December 16th announced the closing of its acquisition of a 100% undivided interest in the 324 non-contiguous mining claims comprising 8,392.92 hectares in the Abbotsford and Hepburn Townships in the province of Ontario. These adjacent Abbotsford and Hepburn Projects will compliment their land concessions at their flagship Perron Gold Project in Quebec.
- Additionally, on December 17th, Eric Sprott announced that, 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation beneficially owned by him, sold 14,868,200 common shares of Amex Exploration Inc., through a private agreement, at $4.00 per Share for total consideration of $59,472,800. On the same day, Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX: ELD) (NYSE: EGO) acquired ownership of 14,868,200 common shares of Amex Exploration Inc. at a price per Share of C$4.00, for total consideration of C$59,472,800, pursuant to a private agreement with a third party (which were Eric Sprott’s shares).
- First Nordic Metals Corp. (TSXV: FNM) (FNSE: FNMC SDB) (OTCQX: FNMCF) and Mawson Finland Limited (TSXV: MFL) (FRA: PM6) – On Dec. 16, 2025 announced the successful closing of the previously announced acquisition by First Nordic of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Mawson by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement.
- The Transaction consolidates a large and prospective gold development and exploration portfolio in Sweden and Finland, including First Nordic's Barsele Project, a joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited and its Gold Line Belt projects in northern Sweden and Oijärvi Project in Finland, and Mawson's Rajapalot Project and surrounding Rompas-Rajapalot Property in northern Finland. In connection with the Transaction, the Company will change its name to Goldsky Resources Corp., subject to receipt of the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
- FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V:FFOX) (OTCQB:FFOXF) – On December 8, 2025 reported results from an additional four holes of its 2025/26 diamond drilling program at the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. Drill hole 25MJ005 is among the best holes yet drilled on the property, extending both shallow and deeper high-grade gold zones well to the west from previous drilling at the East Zone.
- We went on to speculate on how Agnico Eagle may be willing to negotiate turning over their JV interest on Barsele in Sweden with First Nordic, to focus on a regional consolidation in Finland of Firefox, Rupert, and Aurion into a district camp. Agnico already has a strategic position in both Rupert and Firefox.

18 min - BP Silver – An Emerging Silver and Polymetallic Exploration Company Drilling The Cosuño Silver Project In Bolivia
Tim Shearcroft, CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSXV: BPAG), joins me for a comprehensive introduction to this newly listed silver and polymetallic exploration company focused on exploration of their flagship asset, the Cosuño Project; which is strategically located in the prolific Bolivian silver belt. Additionally, the Company is working on finalizing the title at their Titiri Project, located in a major under-explored silver belt with Tier 1 discovery potential.
We start off getting an overview of how the Company, projects, and team came together privately and then it was just publicly listed on September 29th of this year. We discuss the prospectivity of Bolivia for mineral exploration and exploitation, the handful of companies that have made solid advancements on their projects in country, and how the political administration has recently changed to become more amenable to foreign business investment and mineral extraction.
Next we get into the details announced on December 17th, highlighting the successful completion of its Phase 1 diamond drilling program at the Cosuño Silver Project, located in the Department of Potosí, Bolivia. A total of 11 diamond drill holes totaling 906 meters were completed, testing four high-priority targets in the lithocap that may host an epithermal silver deposit. Samples from the first two drill holes have been submitted to an independent geochemical laboratory for analysis. Final core logging, sample preparation, and shipment of the remaining samples will be completed prior to the conclusion of the program later in December, with initial assay results expected in early January 2026.
Additionally, their team is working with the government to finalize obtaining the title to begin exploration on their Titiri Project. Titiri was staked over a large land concession containing outcropping mineralization historically explored by ASARCO. This Project contains a 2.5km-long silver-lead-zinc zone, with excellent historical trench results, that was never drilled. Titiri is a very High Priority structural setting at the intersection of several major crustal-scale faults, along which multiple deposits occur. There is a MOU in place with local communities, and they’d like to get on the ground for exploration in mid-2026.
Wrapping up, Tim shared his background and the experience of their strong technical team and with a substantial experience exploring and operating in Bolivia and Latin America. We covered the financial health of the company, share structure and warrants, and envisioned work strategy and plan moving into next year.
If you have any questions for Tim regarding BP Silver, then please email those into me at [email protected].

- Pinnacle Silver & Gold - Advancing Toward Underground Drilling at El Potrero
In this update, Bob Archer, CEO of Pinnacle Silver & Gold (TSX-V:PINN | OTCQB:PSGCF), outlines the roadmap for the company's first-ever drill program at the El Potrero project in Mexico.
Following extensive sampling that averaged 8.5 g/t AuEq, the company is now moving into site preparation. This initial campaign is unique, as it focuses on delineation drilling - defining the size and shape of known high-grade shoots from within existing mine workings rather than speculative exploration.
Exploration & Development Roadmap- Underground Preparation: January is dedicated to enlarging drill stations and site safety (scaling/bolting).
- The Drill Program: A 112-hole campaign (2,600m) consisting of short, 20–25m holes designed to define grade distribution and vein thickness every 12.5 meters.
- Surface Targets: Following the underground work, drilling will move to surface to test the 500m gap between historic mines and additional veins like El Capulin.
- Fully Funded: The company is currently closing a C$2.52M financing to cover both the underground and surface programs through 2026.
Please email me with any follow up questions you have for Bob - [email protected].
