Recording date: 22nd April 2026

K2 Gold (TSXV:KTO) has reached a meaningful inflection point. The company has received a Record of Decision on its Mojave Project in Inyo County, California completing a full Environmental Impact Statement process that typically applies to mine development, not exploration drilling. That distinction matters. K2 Gold navigated this regulatory gauntlet as an exploration-stage company, and in doing so has established a permitting position that competitors will find difficult and...

Shrinking Supply, Surging Premiums: The New Reality of Gold Sector Consolidation
Yesterday at 9:37 AM

Recording date: 17th April 2026

Recent developments in the Guyana mining sector have dramatically reshaped valuations for junior gold companies. The spark came when G Mining acquired G2 Goldfields for roughly $3 billion CAD. This deal carried a massive 80% premium, valuing G2’s 3.2 million recoverable ounces at about $600 CAD per ounce. To put this in perspective, imagine a neighborhood where a house suddenly sells for nearly double the historical market rate; naturally, every other homeowner immediately reevaluates their own property's worth. This transaction established one of the highest valuation benchmarks seen in recent mining mergers and acquisitions.

Last Wednesday at 9:04 AM

Interview with Nathan Kong, CEO of Bayan Mining & Minerals

Recording date: 17th April 2026

Bayan Mining and Minerals is emerging as a rare earths and critical minerals story built around two themes: geological proximity to a proven U.S. rare earth district and technology that could improve downstream processing economics. Its Desert Star project in California sits just 4.5 km from Mountain Pass, the only producing rare earth mine in the United States, and early surface sampling has returned grades as high as 6.68% total rare earth oxides, giving the company a credible exploration target in a strategically...

Founded by Zac Dolesky after years of direct investing in metals and technology, Super Copper listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange and OTCQB in October 2024. Since then, it has...

Recording date: 9th April 2026

Power Metallic (TSXV:PNPN) is advancing what CEO Terry Lynch characterizes as the world's highest-grade copper-PGE discovery at its Nisk project in Quebec, yet the company believes significant market undervaluation persists despite exceptional technical progress.

Formation Metals is a junior gold explorer advancing the N2 project in Quebec's Abitibi greenstone belt, a district historically responsible for over 200 million ounces of gold production. Despite sitting on an 870,000-ounce historical resource, the company currently trades at roughly $10 per ounce — a valuation gap that CEO Deepak Varshney, a geologist with deep capital markets experience, believes will close sharply once a modern resource estimate is delivered.

The existing resource was calculated in the 1990s using a $200 gold pit shell an...

Strait of Hormuz Crisis Reshapes Energy and Commodity Markets
04/09/2026

 Recording date: 7th April 2026

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has triggered significant disruptions across global energy markets, creating what Samuel Pelaez, President & CEO, and Derek Macpherson, Executive Chair at Olive Resource Capital, view as structural investment opportunities extending well beyond the immediate crisis.

While the Strait handles 20% of global crude oil, the more consequential impacts affect liquefied natural gas, petrochemicals, and fertilizers, where 20-50% of certain products originate from the Persian Gulf region. This supply shock is forcing countries like Japan and South Korea to fundamentally reassess their energy security strategies.

Recording date: 26th March 2026

Veteran resource investor Michael Gentile, the largest individual shareholder in over 30 junior mining companies and co-founder of Bastion Asset Management, argues that recent market turbulence masks improving fundamentals across the gold mining sector. Despite gold retreating from $5,500 to approximately $4,500, Gentile maintains this pullback represents healthy consolidation within an early-stage bull market rather than a warning sign of exhaustion.
The violent selloff—marked by $11 billion in ETF outflows during March and collapsing investor sentiment—actu...

Returns Remain Strong as Market Volatility Creates Entry Points
04/01/2026

Recording date: 31st March 2026

Olive Resource Capital is responding to a sharp, volatility-driven sell-off in mining equities by repositioning its portfolio toward higher-quality, more liquid gold producers — a strategy grounded in the view that institutional forced selling, rather than fundamental deterioration, is responsible for the bulk of recent price declines.

Speaking on their investment podcast, Samuel Pelaez, President, CEO, and CIO, and Derek McPherson, Executive Chairman, outlined a deliberate spring-clean of the firm's holdings. The core thesis is straightforward: when risk managers at leveraged funds are forced to de-risk portfolios rapidly, mining stocks — categorised as high...
