Commodity-Equity Gap Persists Through July: What It Means for H2 2026
08/08/2026

Recording date: 6th August 2026

Olive Resource Capital posted a modest decline in July, with its portfolio down just over 1% for the month. Management characterizes the result as effectively flat, given the heightened volatility that defined the period and the fund's favorable performance relative to its internal peer benchmark.

Oil and copper led commodity markets higher during July. Oil rebounded on renewed tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, while copper climbed to fresh yearly highs as Chinese warehouse inventories drew down faster than anticipated and production disruptions hit major Chilean mines. Together, these factors created a...

(TSXV:RVG) is a Toronto-headquartered gold developer advancing two brownfield, pure-gold assets in the western United States: the Mercur Gold Project in Utah and the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project in Idaho. Both sit on historically productive ground with existing infrastructure, which the company argues reduces development risk and capital intensity relative to greenfield alternatives.

Mercur, at the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) stage, is the company's near-term...

The Royalty Sprint of 2026: Scarcity, Structure, and the Supply Gap
08/05/2026

Recording date: 3rd August 2026

The royalty and streaming sector rarely moves this fast, yet seven structurally distinct transactions closed or were announced in barely two months—ranging from a US$1.9 billion uranium-and-land merger to a $132.5 million iron ore royalty tied to America's critical minerals push. The pace signals a sector adapting to a new reality: capital is increasingly pricing time-to-production risk, not just geological risk.

Uranium Royalty Corp's combination with Sweetwater Royalties dominates by headline value, implying a US$1.9 billion enterprise value for the Orion- and Ontario Teachers'-backed platform. Unlike conventional single-commodity deals, Sweetwater bundles ur...

08/04/2026

Interview with Rodrigo Roso, Director & CEO of Scotia Metals

Recording date: 30th July 2026

Recording date: 30th July 2026

Resolute Mining is executing a multi-year transformation from a single-jurisdiction Mali gold producer into a diversified, four-country West African miner, and CEO Chris Eger's message to investors is that the market hasn't yet caught up with the progress made in 2026.

The near-term production base remains Syama (Mali) and Mako (Senegal), guided to a combined 250,000-275,000oz in 2026 at an AISC of $2,000-2,200/oz. Syama is completing a sulphide...

Recording date: 28th July 2026

Axo Metals Corp. (TSXV:AXO) has removed the largest single risk on its San Antonio gold project's development timeline. On 27 July, Mexico's SEMARNAT approved the project's Environmental Impact Statement (MIA) - the primary permit required to build and operate the mine - roughly six months after Axo filed the application in January. That is well inside the one-year timeline management had originally guided investors to expect, and covers all of San Antonio's deposits...


Nickel’s Next Chapter: Tight Supply, Steady Demand, and Higher Price Floors
08/02/2026

With Mark Selby, CEO of Canada Nickel
Ingo Hofmaier, CFO of LIfezone Metals

Recording date: 30th July 2026

Indonesia has fundamentally shifted its nickel strategy—from flooding global markets to actively managing supply through royalties, quotas, and pricing formulas since late 2025. Executives from Canada Nickel and Lifezone Metals describe this as a structural change, not a temporary adjustment. They argue that the era of nickel priced under $15,000 per tonne is over, with $18,000–$19,000 now representing Indonesia’s break-even and preferred operating range.

Physical supply constraints are compounding policy-driven discipline. Indonesian ore grades fell about 8% last y...

07/25/2026

Interview with Lewis Lawrick, President & CEO of Magna Terra Minerals

Recording date: 23rd July 2026

Magna Terra Minerals (TSXV:MTT) is a Toronto-headquartered exploration company advancing a diversified portfolio of precious and critical metals projects across two jurisdictions: Atlantic Canada and Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. The investment case centres on a management team with a specific, verifiable prior success in the same geological setting, a capital-efficient funding model built on partner-funded option agreements, and a first-mover copper-cobalt discovery that remains largely unexplored by outside analysts.

President and CEO Lewis Lawrick previously founded Anaconda Mining...


Argentina Metals (TSXV:VLLC) - Takes First Mover Advantage at District-Scale Mendoza Copper Belt
07/25/2026

Interview with Raymond D. Harari, Director & CEO, and Enrique Reichhard, VP Exploration of Argentina Metals

Recording date: 23rd July 2026

Argentina Metals Corp (TSXV:VLLC) is a Canadian-domiciled copper exploration company built around a single macro thesis: Argentina shares the same Andean geological belt that makes Chile the world's largest copper producer, yet contributes almost nothing to global supply, and that gap is starting to close now that Mendoza Province has reopened to mineral exploration. CEO and co-founder Raymond D. Harari, working alongside Chairman Dr. Titus Gebel, co-founder of Frankfurt-listed Deutsche Rohstoff AG, has spent the...


Prospera Energy (TSXV:PEI) - Executing On A Targeted 3000 BOE/d Heavy-Oil Reactivation Pipeline
07/23/2026

Interview with Shubham Garg, Executive Chairman & CEO of Prospera Energy

Recording date: 21st July 2026

Prospera Energy Inc. (TSXV:PEI) is a Calgary-headquartered heavy-oil producer executing a well-reactivation strategy across its Cuthbert, Luseland, Hearts Hill, and Brooks properties in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Since a board and management transition in October 2024, led by CEO and Executive Chairman Shubham Garg, the company has shifted away from new drilling toward reactivating wells that were shut in due to prior operators' lack of capital and technical focus rather than poor underlying geology.

The model is capital-light: each reactivation...

Future Metals (ASX:FME) - Aus PGM Developer Targets 2029 Production Amid Supply Gap
07/21/2026

Interview with Keith Bowes, Managing Director & CEO of Future Metals

Recording date: 16th July 2026

Future Metals is advancing a revised development strategy for its Panton platinum group metals (PGM) project in Western Australia, driven by stronger platinum and palladium prices and a potential infrastructure-sharing deal that could significantly reduce capital costs. Instead of building a new processing facility, the company is evaluating the acquisition and refurbishment of the nearby Savannah nickel plant, located about 70 km from Panton. This approach could cut upfront capital expenditure from an estimated A$270 million to under A$200 million, improving the...

Recording date: 16th July 2026

West Red Lake Gold Mines' second-quarter 2026 operational update provides the clearest evidence yet that the ramp-up strategy at its Madsen Mine, in Ontario's Red Lake district, is translating into measurable production gains. Gold output rose 51% quarter-on-quarter to 8,576 ounces, while mined ounces climbed 73% to 10,459, reflecting improvements in both mining rate and average grade.

Recording date: 17th July 2026

Cobra Resources has reported encouraging early-stage results from its Manna Hill copper project in South Australia, pointing to the potential presence of a larger porphyry system beyond the previously identified shallow skarn mineralisation. The company adjusted its drilling programme from a planned 1,800 metres to 1,500 metres, reallocating effort toward deeper and more promising drill holes rather than continuing at the Black Rock target, where initial results suggested distance from the...


Mining Alpha with Michael Gentile - Buying While Everyone's Bearish
07/20/2026

Interview with Michael Gentile, Strategic investor

Previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/mining-alpha-with-michael-gentile-junior-miners-repriced-as-ma-sets-new-gold-benchmarks-10184

Recording date: 16th July 2026

Strategic investor Michael Gentile argues that gold’s flat price since October 2025 masks a powerful divergence between market sentiment and underlying fundamentals. While gold still trades near $4,000 per ounce - the same level that previously triggered euphoria - investor mood has shifted to extreme pessimism. Gentile views this disconnect as an opportunity rather than a warning sign.

His thesis centers on the growing strain of US government debt. With interest rates rising, servicing ro...

Cartier Resources (TSXV:ECR) - New Discoveries Reshape Cadillac Gold Camp, PEA Update Underway
07/17/2026

Interview with Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO, Cartier Resources

Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cartier-resources-tsxvecr-undervalued-investment-series-with-philippe-cloutier-9970

Recording date: 15th July 2026

Cartier Resources is reshaping its strategy at the Cadillac gold project in Quebec’s Abitibi Greenstone Belt after early 2026 drilling confirmed that mineralization extends well beyond the historic Chimo mine. New discoveries at the Contact Zone, the Portal area, and a դեռ largely untested southern target indicate the presence of multiple mineralized systems across the company’s 15–20 kilometre land package, supporting the idea of a broader “mining camp” rather than a single-deposit project.

ATHA Energy (TSXV:SASK) - Building the Next Uranium Basin
07/15/2026

Interview with Troy Boisjoli, CEO of ATHA Energy.

Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/atha-energy-tsxvsask-63m-funded-explorer-scales-up-2026-drill-program-10101

Recording date: 13th July 2026

ATHA Energy's 2026 exploration program at the Angilak Uranium Project in Nunavut is delivering early evidence that its uranium system extends well beyond the boundaries of its currently defined deposit.

Gold Lags but Mining Equities Outperform on Stock-Specific Catalysts
07/14/2026

Recording date: 11th July 2026

Olive Resource Capital delivered an approximate 15% return in the first half of 2026, outperforming many peers in a more moderate market environment compared to the strong gains of 2025. Returns were further supported by three portfolio company acquisitions, two of which closed the period, highlighting the role of opportunistic corporate activity in performance. The firm emphasized that such events are beneficial but not a reliable foundation for long-term strategy.

The commodity landscape in H1 2026 was marked by a clear rotation. Lithium and oil emerged as the strongest performers, with oil remaining resilient despite...


Fox Tungsten (TSXV:FOXT) - High-Grade BC Project Targets 3Mt Resource in 20,000m Drill Push
07/14/2026

Interview with Stephen Gray, President & CEO of Fox Tungsten

Recording date: 11th July 2026

Fox Tungsten is advancing its high-grade Fox project in southern British Columbia, aiming to position it as a rare North American source of tungsten amid tightening global supply. The deposit averages roughly 1% tungsten, which management equates to about 20 grams per tonne gold or 25% copper at current prices, placing it among the higher-grade tungsten projects globally. However, its current resource of just over 1 million tonnes is considered too small to support economic development, prompting an aggressive 20,000-metre drilling campaign in 2026.

Recording date: 9th July 2026

Flagship Minerals has repositioned itself as a focused gold and copper explorer, combining advancement of its flagship Isidora Gold Project in Chile with the acquisition of the Whipsaw Copper Project in British Columbia. The strategic shift is reinforced by the divestment of its RK Lithium Project for US$4 million, providing non-dilutive funding while simplifying the company’s commodity exposure.

At the core of Flagship’s portfolio is the 2.1 mill...

Brazil is emerging as an increasingly attractive mining jurisdiction, according to executives from Serabi Gold, Cabral Gold, and ValOre Metals, who discussed the country’s regulatory environment, infrastructure, and investment climate. While Brazil’s federal mining framework is widely viewed as stable and predictable, challenges persist at the state level, particularly in newer mining regions such as Pará.

Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/atlas-salt-tsxvsalt-no-competitors-lowest-cost-producer-a-mining-story-built-for-certainty-10812

Recording date: 8th July 2026

Atlas Salt has advanced its Great Atlantic Salt Project in Newfoundland from pre-development into active construction, marking a key milestone for the company. Since construction began in February, work has shifted to feasibility-study-funded capital expenditures, meaning current activities are part of the permanent mine infrastructure rather than preparatory steps. Backed by recent financing, the company has maintained steady progress through the 2026 construction season.

Early-stage work has focused on site clearing...
