Northwest Territories Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment Caitlin Cleveland outlines the territory’s strategic shift from diamond mining to critical minerals as major diamond operations—including Diavik and Ekati—wind down earlier than expected. She highlights the urgent need for new all‑season infrastructure like the Mackenzie Valley Highway and the GraYS Bay Road/Port, which together form the Arctic Economic and Security Corridor to link NWT’s mineral deposits to global markets. With over $40 billion in investment opportunities on the horizon, Cleveland stresses workforce re-skilling, early Indigenous partnership building, and the territory’s streamlined, co‑managed regulatory system as key advantages for advancing brownfield and greenfield projects in silver, zinc, tungsten, and rare earths.

Michael Fox interviews the Honourable Caroline Wawzonek, Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance for the Northwest Territories, about the Northern Gateway initiative and the proposed paved road linking Yellowknife to Grace Bay in Nunavut. They discuss how year-round transportation access could unlock mineral-rich regions, lower costs for northern communities, support mining investment and strengthen Canada’s Arctic defense capabilities. The conversation also explores territorial infrastructure gaps, boom-and-bust mining cycles, federal support for major projects, the Mackenzie Valley Highway, community readiness, social and economic challenges, and plans to connect the Northwest Territories’ hydro grids across Great Slave Lake. Caroline Wawzonek explains how future developments—including the potential revival of the Pine Point Mine, Honey Badger Silver’s projects, defense facilities, and new gold and lithium mines—could increase demand for reliable energy and create employment opportunities across the North.

In this episode of the Prospector Podcast, Michael Fox interviews Joseph Cavatoni, Senior Market Strategy and Policy Head for the Americas at the World Gold Council, about gold’s evolving role in the global financial system. Joseph explains how the World Gold Council promotes greater access, awareness, trust and transparency through research, data and education, while outlining why gold is fundamentally a monetary and financial asset—not simply an industrial precious metal. The conversation explores gold’s historic connection to wealth and prosperity, the end of the U.S. gold standard in 1971, record-high prices above $4,000 per ounce, central-bank reserve diversification, sovereign debt concerns and changing investment demand across Asia and Western markets. Michael and Joseph also examine the risks facing artisanal and small-scale gold mining, including illicit finance, unsafe practices and weak supply-chain oversight, as well as the World Gold Council’s proposed solutions involving traceability technology, responsible processing facilities and guaranteed offtake agreements. With gold increasingly viewed as an insurance policy, liquidity instrument and strategic reserve asset during periods of economic and geopolitical uncertainty, this interview offers valuable insights for investors, mining companies and anyone following the future of the global gold market.

Joseph Cavatoni leads business strategy for the Americas at the World Gold Council, including investor relationships, product solutions, research and marketing. The World Gold Council and Ghana announced a 2026 partnership focused on formalizing artisanal and small-scale gold mining, improving supply-chain integrity and combating illicit finance.

Michael Fox welcomes Glenn Jessome, President and CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX-V:SLVR) (OTCQX:SLVTF), to the Prospector Podcast for a detailed update on the El Tigre mining project in Sonora, Mexico. Glenn discusses accelerating mine construction activity, with the workforce growing from 180 to more than 230 people operating across three shifts, and confirms the company remains on schedule for its planned first doré pour in December 2027. The conversation covers Silver Tiger’s permitting progress, year-round 43-kilometre road access, the project’s phased development plan—from an open-pit heap-leach operation to a higher-grade, silver-rich underground mine—and projected economics including substantial cash flow potential, NPV and IRR. Learn why El Tigre’s combination of gold and silver production, regional mining infrastructure and exploration upside positions it as a compelling emerging Mexican precious-metals project.

In this episode of the Prospector Podcast, host Michael Fox sits down with Matthew Schwab, President and CEO of Stallion Uranium (TSX-V: STUD) (OTCQB: STLNF) (FSE: B76) to break down the company’s high-impact exploration program in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin—the “Saudi Arabia of Uranium.” With a 1,700 km² largely unexplored land package and over 4,600 meters drilled so far (targeting ~7,000m), Schwab reveals an extraordinary 80% success rate (4 of 6 holes hitting definable mineralization) versus the basin’s historical <1% discovery rate. He details the massive Coyote target, the team’s 20+ years of Athabasca experience (including past discoveries like Arrow and Hathor’s $650M Rio Tinto exit), and why the next three drill holes in September could unlock a major uranium discovery.

Michael Fox interviews Richard Williams, President and CEO of Winshear Metals (TSX-V:WINS) (FRA:9HR0) on the Prospector Podcast to discuss the company’s two exploration projects: a copper-nickel-cobalt project near Aberdeen, Scotland, originally identified decades ago by Rio Tinto and Goldfields, and an early-stage gold project near Thunder Bay, Ontario. Richard explains how recent drilling expanded the Scottish project’s north and south mineralized zones, intersecting mineralization from surface to 350 metres vertical depth, while downhole electromagnetic surveys identified a major conductor east of the south zone. Positive metallurgical testing produced copper concentrates grading up to 25% with no penalty elements and nickel concentrates reaching up to 15%, with cobalt also present as a potential byproduct. The company plans additional drilling before year-end to test new targets and expand the western projection of the north zone, while its Ontario gold program follows up on four large gold anomalies identified through till sampling across approximately 30 kilometres of strike.

Michael Fox sits down with Mike Stark, President and CEO of Arizona Gold and Silver (TSX-V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF), for an in-depth update on the company’s flagship Philadelphia gold-silver property north of Bullhead City, Arizona. Mike reveals that the 3,600-acre property has only seen 80 acres explored to date, with 173 drill holes completed and verified strikes confirming a major epithermal system with Merlin-style deposit potential. The discussion covers Evolution Mining’s strategic C$12 million private placement at 80 cents per share—validating the asset’s value and enabling 2–2.5 years of extended drilling under a new BLM permit. Mike shares exciting progress on hole 172 (assays expected early September) and hole 173, which is drilling deeper into the boiling zone with potential to extend the deposit to 2,800 feet. The team outlines plans to transition to 24-hour drilling with two crews, potentially tripling capacity and cutting results turnaround from 20 to 10 days, while also preparing for a hybrid open-pit and underground mining operation. Plus, updates on field safety in extreme heat, the formation of a joint technical committee with Evolution, and how rising gold prices are accelerating junior market opportunities.
