Interview with Andrew Dennan, CEO of Halo Minerals

Recording date: 16th June 2026

Halo Minerals has emerged as a unique opportunity within the junior mining sector by focusing on the reprocessing of historical mine tailings rather than pursuing conventional greenfield mine development. Its flagship Playa Verde Project in Chile aims to recover copper and gold from legacy tailings deposits while simultaneously addressing a long-standing environmental liability.

The company's most important achievement to date is securing approval of the project's Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). For mining projects in Chile, permitting is often one of the...

Recording date: 15th June 2026

Silvercorp Metals has reported a strong performance over its most recent two quarters, with sharp increases in net income and free cash flow largely driven by higher prices for silver, gold, and zinc rather than significant production growth. While output rose modestly, the primary driver of improved margins was the favorable pricing environment, which allowed more revenue per ton of ore without major new capital investment. Seasonal weakness typically seen in the...

Recording date: 10th June 2026

Vox Royalty Corp reported a record-setting first quarter in 2026, underscoring a period of accelerating growth driven by both strategic acquisitions and a strong gold price environment. The company generated $16 million in royalty receipts, alongside record operating cash flow and earnings per share exceeding $0.30. Management attributed this performance largely to a $60 million portfolio acquisition completed in September 2025, which added high-quality royalty assets that have since benefited from operational improvements and rising commodity...

Recording date: 5th June 2026

Global financial markets are exhibiting a striking disconnect between geopolitical risk and investor behavior, as major U.S. equity indices simultaneously reached record highs despite escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Ongoing missile exchanges and a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran have done little to unsettle equities, creating what market observers describe as a “Goldilocks” environment where negative macro risks are largely ignored. At the same time, attention has narrowed sharply toward the anticipated $75 billion SpaceX initial public offering, which is drawing liquidity away from bonds, Bitcoin, and commodities.

Interview with William Sheriff of Manhattan Metals

Recording date: 22nd May 2026

Manhattan Metals Corp is a pre-IPO gold and silver company with a business model that is straightforward in concept but rare in practice: acquire small, high-grade gold deposits in Nevada that major mining companies overlook, and process them through a centrally owned mill to generate near-term cash flow.

Recording date: 26th May 2026

Olive Resource Capital views the current phase in commodity markets as a healthy, seasonal consolidation following a strong start to the year. While metals and mining equities have largely moved sideways, this reduced volatility is seen as constructive rather than concerning. According to President and CEO Samuel Pelaez and Executive Chair Derek Macpherson, calmer market conditions often create a gradual upward bias, even as broader investor attention shifts toward high-performing sectors like technology.

Olive Resource adjusted its portfolio to reflect rising geopolitical risks, particularly those linked to supply disruptions in the...

Importantly, the company does not need to draw the optional second tranche of financing, giving it...

Interview with Paul Clarke, CEO, CanCambria Energy

Recording date: 14th May 2026

CanCambria Energy, a Canadian exploration and production company, is advancing a large-scale natural gas project in Hungary aimed at addressing Europe’s growing energy security concerns. As the European Union moves to eliminate reliance on Russian gas by the end of 2027, Hungary—currently importing up to 80% of its supply—faces a significant supply gap. CanCambria’s Kiskunhalas concession offers a potential domestic solution.

The company has identified approximately 750 billion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas within a deep tight gas formation, alongside 25 million...

Recording date: 14th May 2026

The first quarter of 2026 marked a high point for the global mining sector, particularly for gold producers, which benefited from record production levels and strong cash flows. This performance was largely driven by a surge in gold prices, which averaged करीब $4,900 per ounce—up roughly 15% from the previous quarter. Major mining companies capitalized on these favorable conditions through share buybacks and acquisitions, signaling confidence in sustained profitability. However, this strong start is unlikely to persist.

By mid-May, gold prices had already declined by about $200 per ounce, while input costs—especially fuel—rose sharply. Analy...

Recording date: 11th May 2026

Oroco Resources is advancing the Santo Tomás porphyry copper project in northwest Mexico toward a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) targeted for Q2 2027, positioning the asset as a capital-efficient development in a supply-constrained copper market.

The project’s August 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment outlined robust economics: a $1.48 billion after-tax NPV, internal rates of return exceeding 22%, and initial capital requirements of approximately $1.1 billion based on $4 copper and $1,900 gold assumptions. Operating costs are projected below $1 per pound, with a 2.8-year payback period. Notably, Santo Tomás demo...
