The KE Report

Dan Barnholden, CEO of Luca Mining (TSX.V:LUCA) (OTCQX:LUCMF) (FSE:TSGA), joins me to review the strategy and benefits of their 2 recent acquisitions, that expand and transform Luca beyond their 2 currently producing assets – the Campo Morado and Tahuehueto mines, located in the prolific Sierra Madre mineralized belt in Mexico.
 
On September 21, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive share purchase agreement with Capstone Copper Corp., to acquire 100% of the Cozamin Mine in Zacatecas, Mexico for total upfront consideration of $290 million, and up to an additional $95 million in deferred and contingent consideration.
 
Transaction Highlights:
 
More than doubles near-term production, with the combined company expected to generate net revenue of approximately $598 million in 2027(1), versus Luca’s 2025 net revenue of $177 million and operating cash flow of approximately $223 million in 2027(3), versus Luca’s 2025 operating cash flow of $37 million. 
Highly accretive to Luca’s operating cash flow per share (“CFPS”), with consensus estimates indicating a 93% increase from $0.22/sh(2) to $0.42/sh(2, 3) with the addition of Cozamin. 
Increase in free cash flow per share, with consensus estimates indicating an approximate $139 million(2), or $0.28/sh(2), improvement in unlevered free cash flow in 2027, from ($12 million)(2), or ($0.04/sh)(2), to $127 million(2), or $0.24/sh(2), with the addition of Cozamin(3).  
Adds a proven, cash-generating operating asset with 20 years of continuous production and a historical reserve-based mine plan extending to 2030. 
Established and permitted operation with longstanding community agreements and significant existing infrastructure, including the recently completed paste backfill and filtered tailings systems. 
Strategic fit in Luca’s existing Mexico focused portfolio with opportunity to leverage existing local Mexican operating expertise, permitting knowledge, and stakeholder relationships. 
Potential for mine life extension, resource upside, and operational optimization supported by a large historical resource base, extensive exploration opportunities across known mineralized systems and multiple underexplored targets, increased use of longhole mining, and Luca’s planned increased investment in exploration and resource definition following closing. 
Expands Luca’s exposure to copper, positioning the Company to benefit from anticipated long-term copper demand growth while retaining significant exposure to silver and precious metals. 
Potential to restart the existing zinc flotation circuit, providing operational flexibility to respond to improving zinc market conditions. 
Strengthens Luca’s ability to internally fund growth, with incremental cash flow from Cozamin expected to support future investment in the recently announced El Barqueño project, the Campo Morado Expansion, and other strategic initiatives. 
Enhanced scale and capital markets presence backed by strategic investors, supported by greater scale, stronger cash flow, and addition of several key strategic equity shareholders including Capstone ($15 million), Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (“Wheaton”) ($25 million), and Taurus Mining Finance Fund No.3 (“Taurus”) ($15 million), with a $75 million equity backstop provided by Trafigura Pte Ltd. (“Trafigura”). 
 
On September 17, the Company announced a definitive asset purchase agreement with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, to acquire 100% of the El Barqueño property. An initial payment of $10 million on closing of the Transaction to be satisfied through the issuance of common shares of Luca, and a deferred consideration of up to $30 million through milestone-linked payments.
 
The El Barqueño property covers over 32,000 hectares, is accessible by paved and secondary roads, and is located in the State of Jalisco, Mexico approximately 100km west of Guadalajara city and proximate to the municipality of. The Project is host to a historical (2025) mineral resource estimate of 399,265 ounces of gold equivalent at 1.47 g/t AuEq classified as indicated, with an additional 650,046 ounces of gold equivalent at 1.43 g/t AuEq inferred.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining Inc. (TSX: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF) (FSE: 8YD), joins me to review the key takeaways from the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) released after the market close on October 7th, for the restart of the fully-permitted Levack Mine, located in the North Range of the Sudbury Basin, northeastern Ontario, Canada.   We also discuss the potential for the dual-track development of 2 mines, because the Company plans to release the PFS on Crean Hill in the next few weeks.
 
 Levack PEA Highlights: (All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars)
 
Solid production profile and short time frame to commercial production: The Levack PEA contemplates underground mining of 5.75 million short tons with 7.3 years of commercial production and average annual payable copper equivalent (“CuEq”) production of 36.8 million pounds (“lbs”) at all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of US$3.71 per CuEq payable pound and commercial production anticipated in mid-2028. 
Low initial capital and robust pre-commercial production operating cash flows: Initial capital costs from January 1, 2027 to the start of commercial production are estimated to be $70.1 million, after incorporating equipment financing timing effects. This initial capital is estimated to be offset by refundable tax credits of approximately $5.6 million and expected pre-commercial production operating cash flow of approximately $55.9 million using base case price assumptions1, leaving a calculated net initial funding requirement of $8.6 million. 
Rapid payback and robust base case economics: Assuming base case commodity prices, the Levack PEA estimates payback in 0.6 years with a base case after-tax Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 92.4% and an after-tax NPV7% of $227.0 million. Pre-tax cash flows in 2028 and 2029 are estimated to be approximately $96.5 million per year. Using September 2026 average commodity prices, the after-tax NPV7% increases to $313.6 million and the IRR improves to 115.8%, with average pre-tax cash flows of approximately $120.6 million per year in 2028 and 2029. 
Positive potential impact from the recently announced Productivity Mega Deduction:  Incorporation of the Productivity Mega Deduction (“PMD”) could reduce the estimated federal taxes payable over the life of mine. The Levack PEA after-tax NPV7% improves by $5.1 million to $232.1 million and the IRR increases to 99.2%, by reducing total federal taxes paid by $1.6 million and accelerating the utilization of certain tax deductions. 
 
Jason goes on to discuss the exploration upside at Levack to expand resources and future mine life well above what was released in this more conservative economic study. As a reminder, all of the recent high-grade copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, and gold results from the R-2 Zone are not included in the current resources or this PEA.  There are also a number of other areas that will be getting drilling, and initiative to make another discovery at Levack.
 
Next we pivoted over to the potential for the dual-track development of Crean Hill along with Levack, after the C$140 Million strategic investment by Alpayana, that just closed on August 31st.   The Company will be releasing a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in October for Crean Hill, and the board will evaluate the final construction decision at that time.
 
Wrapping up, Jason paints the value proposition for how this Company could grow into a mid-tier polymetallic base metals and precious metals producer over the next handful of years, with other permitted projects like Podolsky and Shakespeare waiting in the project development pipeline.

In this Daily Editorial, hosts Cory and Shad welcome Joel Elconin, Co-Host of the PreMarket Prep Show and Founder of the Stock Trader Network, to dissect an increasingly bifurcated market environment. While major indexes hover near record territory, underneath the surface, market participation tells a far more complicated story.
The Market Breadth Divergence: Major cap-weighted indexes continue pushing near all-time highs, but broad market participation is thinning rapidly as capital funnels almost exclusively into mega-cap technology leaders.
Real-Economy Warning Signs: Sharp downturns across critical logistics and transportation names point to potential headwinds for the broader economy that index-level gains may be masking.
Cash Alternatives and Concentration Risks: With risk-free Treasury paper offering 5% yields, we examine why investors remain hesitant to step aside and whether widespread institutional crowding in Big Tech creates systemic exposure.
AI Sentiment and Earnings Expectations: Rumored revenue adjustments in enterprise artificial intelligence are putting suppliers, data center plays, and software partners under the microscope ahead of a critical earnings season.
S&P 500 Technical Benchmarks: A review of where the cash index stands relative to its 50-day moving average and what technical signals separate a standard market pullback from a meaningful trend reversal.
 
Stocks and Symbols Mentioned: S&P 500 Index (SPX / SPY), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A / BRK.B), iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT), iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), J.B.

Scott Emerson, President and CEO of Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF) (FSE: TUY), joins me for another exploration update where on September 22nd additional assays were reported from drilling a new structure (#8) on the Company's Las Coloradas silver project in the Parral mining district of the Central Mexican Silver Belt, Chihuahua Mexico.
 
Highlights :
 
LC-26-020 returned 218 g/t AgEq (199 g/t silver and 0.53 g/t Au) over 6.45 metres, including 338 g/t AgEq (313 g/t silver) over 1.95 metres
Confirms high-grade mineralization on a new structure (#8), 150 meters west of high-grade hole LC-25-010
Second hole drilled on the #8 structure, following LC-25-008 (200 g/t AgEq and 0.28 g/t Au over 10.5 meters, including 931 g/t AgEq and 1.28 g/t Au over 1.6 meters), confirming continuity of high-grade mineralization across structures
 
Scott shares the significance of encountering a 3rd structure, based on the cross-cutting structures, and it is receiving immediate ~50-meter step-outs on either side of hole LC-26-020.
 
We go on to discuss some of the key exploration targets drilled in this year’s program thus far at the Soledad main structure, which has the historic Las Colorada Mine Target, the DBD Target, and then further along trend the Aguilar Target.  
 
We then panned back on other targets at Las Coloradas getting drilling along the Soledad 2 structure on targets like Leona, or further afield regional targets like Saddle, based on the various data sets from mapping, sampling, historic data, and surveys flown that their team has compiled in the prioritized targets for this season.
 
There have been about 5,000 meters drilled to date, out of the 10,000 meter program, with multi-rig drilling still underway all the way up to the Christmas holiday.  Then drilling will pick up again in late January and just keep going.   The company is well funded with ~$13million in the treasury, and there will be a stead stream of assays to report for months into the future, building out the different areas of mineralization from this larger system.

Fred Bell, CEO and Director, of Elemental Royalty Corporation (NASDAQ: ELE) (TSX: ELE), joins me to review the acquisition of 5 streams and royalties for US$290 Million from Orion Mine Finance Management LP, and the strategic divestment of the Generation Business to Carlin East. We also discuss the long-life assets in their top 8-10 assets, as well as the organic growth profile in front of the company over the next few years.
 
Acquisition of Stream and Royalty Portfolio: Elemental has entered into definitive agreements to acquire a high-quality portfolio of precious metals assets consisting of five streams and royalties for total consideration of US$290 million, with US$200 million in cash and US$90 million in equity to Orion Mine Finance Management LP. The portfolio is expected to be immediately accretive to NAV per share, materially accretive to revenue per share, increases the Company's precious metals weighting and adds material exposure in North America.
Strategic Divestment and Simplification: in conjunction with the portfolio acquisition, Elemental announces that it has entered into a non-binding agreement with Carlin East Inc., wherein Carlin East will acquire Elemental's Generation Business comprising wholly-owned exploration projects and will take on management and shared ownership of the Company's Option Agreements and selected early stage exploration royalties related to the Generation Business. As consideration for the transaction, Elemental will acquire a cornerstone equity stake in Carlin East, and CEO and Director, David M. Cole, has resigned to take up a leadership position at Carlin East.
 
Highlights
Immediately accretive stream and royalty portfolio acquisition materially increases Elemental's revenue, scale and exposure to high-quality producing precious metals assets, further adding to the Company's growth profile
Enhances portfolio quality and diversification, Ruby Hill and Kouroussa will rank in the top five and top ten assets respectively in Elemental's portfolio, and increase the Company's exposure to Tier 1 jurisdictions.
Strategic Divestment of Generation Business allows Elemental to retain the existing portfolio of over 100 early-stage royalties accumulated over more than a decade and to participate as the largest shareholder in future royalty generation through ownership of Carlin East
Reduction in Elemental G&A by over 25% with additional savings expected and streamlined company structure

Alex Langer, President and CEO of Sierra Madre Gold And Silver (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), joins us to review the ramp up in throughput in operations at the La Guitarra silver-gold mine complex in Mexico, which includes 3 producing mines:  La Guitarra, Coloso, and Nazareno.   We look ahead to the ongoing 2-phase plant expansion and upcoming increased 30,000 meters of drilling planned across the La Guitarra District slated to begin here in Q4.  Additionally, we discussed the path forward at the recently acquired Del Toro mining complex, and the increased drill program there to 30,000+ meters of drilling across that property package starting next year.
 
Throughput at the Guitarra processing plant has significantly increased following Phase 1 expansion modifications to the existing crushing and milling circuits. Daily production has reached up to a steady 720 tonnes per day ("tpd"). This represents more than a 40% increase versus the previous nameplate capacity of 500 tpd.
 
Further modifications to increase capacity are scheduled to be made following the commissioning of the new 11x12 ball mill, which is now installed. Sierra Madre has also accelerated underground development, and started the groundwork for the permitted dry stack tailings facility expansion.  This is a key component of the eventual Phase 2 plant expansion plan to increase throughput to 1,200 tpd to 1,500 tpd.
 
Development has been accelerated at all three of the mines within La Guitarra - Guitarra, Nazareno and Coloso - to provide feed to the expanded plant. Approximately 2.6 kilometers of development drives have been completed since June 2026. As haulage ramps are being driven both vertically and downward from the 180-access level, this ramp development is expected to allow for additional production areas to be developed. Since July 2026, over 800 meters of access and production drives have been completed.
 
For the balance of the discussion Alex outlined the aggressive 30,000+ meter exploration plan about to commence across the La Guitarra district land package. There will be a drilling focus on the East District, at past producing historic mining areas like Mina de Agua and El Rincon.
 
The company will also embark on a parallel 30,000+ meter program next summer across their Del Toro complex.  In June 2026, Sierra Madre closed the acquisition of the Del Toro silver mine, adding a past-producing, fully permitted asset of 3 mines and a 3,000 tpd plant to its Mexico-focused silver and gold portfolio.
