Glenn Jessome, President & CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX.V:SLVR – OTCQX:SLVTF), joins us to review the major news released November 7th which announced 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 January of next year, along with the coming regional drill programs to the north and south of El Tigre in 2026.

With all approvals for the Project now granted, Silver Tiger is now ready to advance the Project towards construction over an 18-month plan, as outlined in the October 2024 Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) for the Project. We dive into the robust economics on just this initial bulk tonnage phase of the project, through the lens of current metals price sensitivities. Glenn shares with us the many earlier stage initiatives their operations team, led by VP of Operations, Francisco Albelais, like building the 365 day per year haulage road, and the 6 months of engineering work that gives them a large head start on hitting the ground running now that the permit is in hand.  

With regards to the debt term sheets and how the company will fund the mine build, Glenn shares the flexibility and optionality that their team now has, after having recently raised CAD$40 Million bought deal financing with a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets and Stifel Nicolaus Canada.  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.  

We wrap up recapping all the exploration, development, and derisking work that is going into the upcoming imminent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the underground mine, now set to release to the market 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.

Wrapping up we have Glenn outline that in 2026 all of the earlier-stage regional exploration work their team has been engaged with in H2 of this year, both to the north and south of El Tigre, will allow for the commencement of the first drilling on these high-priority targets since 2017.   This will demonstrate to the market that their land concessions are truly part of a district-scale opportunity, far beyond just the delineated mineralization and mine plans at El Tigre.

Robert Sinn, (aka Goldfinger on CEO.ca and CeoTechnican on X) and publisher of Goldfinger Capital on YouTube and Substack, joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on the sentiment shift and technical outlook on gold, silver, copper, the tax loss selling seasonal trade from now into Q1,  valuations in different stages of companies, and a number of value propositions in related resource stocks.

We start off unpacking the shift in sentiment since the October highs in the precious metals, while noting that the current prices continue to stay well above $4,000 gold and $50 silver is creating some interesting trades over the medium-term.  We discuss how money has rotated down the risk curve from the producers and quality developers into the optionality plays, advanced explorers, and discovery-stage exploration companies, but many are now well off their recent highs.  This brings up the topic of what kind of tax loss selling season we are going to see this year in precious metals stocks, where seniors are well in the green and yet there are some junior explorers that may be in the red from where people bought them.

Next we dive into the copper market, the dichotomy between copper producers and copper juniors, and review potential opportunities in the explorers and developers.  We review that US states like Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona or Canadian provinces like British Columbia or the Yukon still remain go-to jurisdictions for copper companies. Robert highlights Hercules Metals Corp. (TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) as a case study for a copper explorer that has made a meaningful discovery, and yet it is a tax loss selling candidate that he believes has a compelling value proposition at current prices.

Wrapping up we briefly touch upon US administration tailwinds and supply/demand imbalances that make critical minerals another area of opportunity.  Robert mentions that Fireweed Metals (TSXV: FWZ) (OTCQX: FWEDF) and Talon Metals (TSX: TLO) (OTC: TLOFF) have compelling projects that may receive some more government funds or less restrictive permitting hurtles to aid in their expedited development.

Dr. Robert Quartermain, Co-Chairman, Director and CEO of Dakota Gold (NYSE American: DC), joins me for an exploration and development update from their Richmond Hill Oxide Heap Leach Gold Project. He also outlines the long-term optionality of their Maitland Gold Project.  Both projects are located in the historic Homestake District of South Dakota, near existing mining infrastructure. 

Richmond Hill is one of the largest undeveloped oxide gold resources in the United States being advanced by a junior mining company, with over 6 million ounces of gold and over 60 million ounces of silver moving along the pathway of development into heap leach production as soon as 2029. M&I plan identifies 168.3 million tonnes at a grade of 0.566 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) for a total of 2.6 million ounces produced over a 17-year life of mine. MI&I plan identifies 273.7 million tonnes at a grade of 0.530 g/t Au for a total of 3.9 million ounces produced over a 28-year life of mine. Principle Projects are on Private Land which equates to a positive attribute for efficient permitting with State and County organizations.

On November 19th, assay results from 26 drill more holes were reported as part of the ongoing 2025 drilling campaign at the Richmond Hill Project, including the first assays from expansion drilling in the northeast corner of the Project.

Highlights from this update include:

Expansion and infill drill holes in the northeastern corner of the Project area are intersecting significantly higher-grade gold than the average resource grade including RH25C-278 intersecting 1.75 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 19.9 meters (35 gram meters) and RH25C-295 intersecting 2.15 g/t Au over 30.0 meters (65 gram meters). The expansion drilling surrounding the area has the potential to add to the resource based on prior drilling and current resources in the area, and is only limited by drilling and remains open.

Metallurgical drill holes across the northern Project area continue to intercept high-grade gold, de-risking the Project and providing greater confidence in the resource including RH25C-270 intersecting 2.26 g/t Au over 29.2 meters (66 gram meters) and RH25C-288 intersecting 4.15 g/t Au over 14.5 meters (60 gram meters). The metallurgical drilling results demonstrate the low-risk nature of the deposit with widespread mineralization.

Drilling continues to confirm high-grade gold mineralization in the northern portion of Richmond Hill, supporting the Company's plan to prioritize initial mining in this area. Dakota Gold currently has two drills operating on site and expects to complete approximately 27,500 meters (~90,000 feet) of drilling during the 2025 campaign.

Robert highlights how these robust gold and silver resources, site infrastructure, and low cost project economics, point to a low-cost, long-life mining operation that can deliver high margins and generate meaningful revenues.  He points out how the higher grade mineralization in the northeast corner may accelerate the economics and shorten the payback period outlined in the SK 1300 Initial Assessment with Cash Flow earlier this year.

With the metallurgical drilling for the 2025 campaign now complete, the company is advancing heap leach column testing and looks forward to sharing those results as they are completed.  The company is rapidly advancing its Richmond Hill project toward eventual surface heap leach gold operation as soon as 2029. Building on the robust IACF, ongoing exploration, metallurgical tests, and derisking workstreams will be incorporated into the Feasibility Study planned for completion in early 2027, with construction starting in 2028 and first production targeted for 2029.

At the Maitland Gold Project the Company is currently assessing the exploration data collected to date from the JB Gold Zone and the Unionville Zone with the intent of outlining an initial inferred gold resource. The work is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025. To date the JB Gold Zone has encountered a number of high-grade intersections which average 10.76 g/t Au over 4.0 meters.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins us to unpack the key takeaways from the recently announced Resource Estimate for the Levack Mine and the development pathway into production as their second polymetallic mine  located in the North Range of the Sudbury Basin, Canada. 

Levack Mineral Resource Estimate Highlights (as of August 31, 2025, the cut-off for diamond drill data incorporated in the MRE):

We also review the continued series of high-grade copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver drill results released in recent assays from many areas of the Levack Mine after the cutoff for this resource update that are continuing to expand the mineralization.  Jason got into some of these areas like the No.1 to No. 2 Main area, the  Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE deposit, the Keel Zone, and the footwall environment between the No.2 and No. 3 Ni-Cu Zone.  There are currently two surface diamond drills operating at the Levack Mine, one completing three shallow infill and metallurgical drill holes on the Main Ni-Cu Zone in support of the Levack Restart Study, and a second drill exploring the footwall environment between the No. 3 Ni-Cu Zone and the Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE Deposit,

Jason shares more context on why the exploration and engineering teams are getting quite excited about this R2 Target at the Levack Mine, and after more drilling, it may change the anticipated sequence of the mine restart plan that the team is still working on.  The team is also reviewing the potential for bringing hoisting back to Levack in a development scenario. He mentioned that this new resource estimate paired with ongoing drilling at newer discoveries like R2 at Levack would be instructive for how they approach the mine restart plan moving into next year.

Wrapping up we widened the scope beyond just the currently producing McCreedy West mine, and upcoming development of the Levack Mine into a production decision next year, to other assets like their Crean Hill, Podolsky, and Shakespeare development projects, that showcase the company ambitions to become a multi-mine producer in the Sudbury Basin.
