The KE Report

While broader equity markets shudder under high interest rates and AI valuation fatigue, resource markets are painting a striking study in contrasts. In this episode, we tackle the sharp sell-off in precious metals alongside the relentless fundamental strength of the energy complex. Brien Lundin (Editor of Gold Newsletter) breaks down why short-term algorithmic liquidations in gold and silver are masking an inevitable monetary reset. Then, Josef Schachter and Nathan Ritchie (Schachter Energy Report) examine why the multi-year bull thesis in oil and natural gas remains structurally supply-constrained, presenting compelling value across both Canadian heavy hitters and mispriced international producers. 
Segment 1 & 2 - Brien Lundin, editor of the Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference, kicks off the show to discuss the precious metals market, explaining that recent sharp sell-offs are driven by short-term algorithmic trading and tech sentiment rather than damaged fundamentals. He argues that escalating sovereign debt and deficit pressures will ultimately force easier monetary policies, making current downturns prime buying opportunities for long-term investors - particularly in select junior exploration stocks.

Segment 3 & 4 - Josef Schachter (founder and editor) and Nathan Ritchie (VP of Energy Research) of The Schachter Energy Report recap their recent energy conference and share an optimistic outlook for the oil and gas sector. They highlight an ongoing energy bull market driven by insufficient capital reinvestment and growing global demand, predicting a forthcoming outperformance in natural gas equities and recommending diversified exposure across Canadian and international oil, gas, and energy service companies

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining Inc. (TSX: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF) (FSE: 8YD), joins me to review the key takeaways from Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) for the 100% owned Crean Hill Project, located in the South Range of the Sudbury Basin, northeastern Ontario. We go on to discuss the dual-track development of Levack and Crean Hill over the next couple years and the bigger picture vision of growth from the deep pipeline projects beyond that.
 
Crean Hill PFS Highlights: 
 
Twelve-year commercial mine life with over 11 million tons of probable reserves: The Crean Hill PFS contemplates underground mining of 11.4 million tons of probable reserves at an average mining rate of approximately 2,400 tons per day during the twelve-year commercial mine life.   
Robust production profile with significant precious metals byproduct credits: Average annual payable copper equivalent (“CuEq”)1,2 production of 35.5 million pounds (“lbs”) during commercial production at all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of US$3.55 per CuEq payable lb, including 42 thousand ounces of precious metals (platinum + palladium + gold) on average per year which contribute approximately 38.9% of revenues during this time. 
Attractive base case economics with strong commodity price leverage: Assuming base case commodity prices1, the Crean Hill PFS estimates payback in 1.5 years with an after-tax Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 43.4% and an after-tax NPV7% of $251.0 million. Pre-tax cash flows average approximately $65.2 million per year and increase to $96.2 million per year using September 2026 average commodity prices1, while the after-tax NPV7% increases to $406.1 million, the IRR improves to 65.4%, and the payback period falls to 0.8 years.  
Manageable initial capital spread over a three-year pre-commercial production period: Initial capital costs from January 1, 2027 are estimated to be $127.0 million. This initial capital is expected to be offset by refundable tax credits3 of $17.2 million and pre-commercial production operating cash flow of approximately $37.4 million using base case price assumptions, leaving a calculated net initial funding requirement of $72.4 million. Construction spending is expected to ramp up gradually over a three-year period with first ore sales in late 2027 and commercial production achieved in early 2030.  
Positive potential impact from the recently announced Productivity Mega Deduction: Incorporation of the Productivity Mega Deduction (“PMD”)4 could reduce the estimated federal taxes payable over the life of mine, especially during the early years of commercial production. By accelerating the utilization of certain tax deductions via the PMD, the Crean Hill PFS after-tax NPV7% would improve by $5.7 million to $256.7 million and the IRR would increase to 45.5%. 
 
Crean Hill construction to commence in 2027: Based on the results of the PFS (summarized in Table 1), the Company’s Board of Directors has approved construction of the Crean Hill project, which will commence in 2027. In the interim, the Company will continue with detailed engineering work, surface site preparations including installation of grid power and recruitment of additional personnel.  
 
Crean Hill exploration drilling now underway: In addition, an exploration diamond drill rig has been mobilized to the Crean Hill Project and has started drill testing new targets for additional footwall copper and precious metals-rich mineralization.   
 
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.  We review the rough timeline for when development ore  from Levack will start feeding into the production profile in 2027, but with commercial production anticipated for 2028.
 
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.

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joins me to review the best gold intercept drilled to date below the known mineralization at the Oculto deposit, in the ongoing Phase 6 drill program on the Company’s wholly owned Diablillos property in the mining-friendly provinces of Salta and Catamarca, Argentina.   We also discuss the valuation mismatch in light of all the value-creation just in 2026, and the growth initiatives along the pathway to construction of the mine and future production in 2029.
 
On October 21, 2026 the Company reported assay results from four diamond drill holes completed at the Oculto East target as part of the ongoing Phase VI exploration program  The standout hole, DDH-26-061, intersected a broad envelope of oxide-hosted gold mineralization containing a high-grade core approximately 50 metres below the current Oculto open pit design.
DDH-26-061 intersected 228.0 metres ("m") grading 1.79 g/t gold and 12 g/t silver from 101.0 m downhole, including 66.0 m at 4.04 g/t gold and 19 g/t silver from 263m downhole.
On a grade-thickness basis, it is the best gold intercept drilled to date at the Oculto deposit, surpassing DDH-25-024.
The high-grade gold zone extends beyond the limits of the current Mineral Resource model and indicates potential for additional gold mineralization beneath the eastern part of the Oculto deposit.
 
Next, we discuss how the valuation disconnect has increased, in light of the sector pullback when contrasted against all the key milestones achieved this year from the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), Phase 1 Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), environmental permit approvals from both provinces, RIGI approval, key new hires to board and management team, and commencement of the bridge engineering phase.  
 
Wrapping up we discuss all the growth catalysts on tap:
 
The Company continues to staff up in size and scope to build the mine
The Board is hard at work on putting together a non-dilutive capital stack, exploring royalties/streaming, offtake agreements, and debt terms.
The operations team and 3rd-party contractors are working on the PEA for the heap leach economics that will further supplement the DFS on the tank leach
Three diamond drill rigs are now active, with the Phase VI exploration program expected to be completed by year-end – with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) expected in Q2/2027.
Next year the updated resource will be incorporated into the trade-off and optimization studies for Phase 2 economics, demonstrating and even more robust and expanded project.

Tim Shearcroft, CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSX.V: BPAG) (OTCQB: BPSCF), joins me to review the newest assay results from its ongoing Phase 2 diamond drilling program at the Cosuño Silver Project, in Bolivia.  This initial drilling at the Jalsuri North Target highlights a significant new emerging polymetallic discovery that intersected broad intervals of both zinc and silver mineralization.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
 
Mineralization is located approximately 3 kilometers from the high-grade silver Pocañita Chica occurrence and is interpreted to represent the upper and/or distal portions of a large intermediate sulfidation hydrothermal system. It remains open for expansion in all directions.
Hole CO-0015 intersected a 142 meter ("m") zinc-dominated intersection grading 1.42% zinc and 8.9 g/t silver (2.14% zinc equivalent) from 5 to 147 m,
including 59 m grading 2.57% zinc and 12.25 g/t silver (3.72% zinc equivalent) from 5 to 64 m, and
22 m grading 5.18% zinc and 27.7 g/t silver (7.75% zinc equivalent) from 19 to 41 m (Table 2 and Figure 2).
Hole CO-0015 also returned a 2 m silver-dominated intersection grading 249 g/t silver and 3.46% zinc (495.4 g/t silver equivalent) from 35 to 37 m, and 2 m grading 132.0 g/t silver and 0.66% zinc (189.0 g/t silver equivalent) from 107 to 109 m (Table 1 and Figure 2).
 
Tim goes on to unpack how these results tie into the larger exploration initiatives from the sampling, mapping, geological surveys, and other Phase 1 and Phase 2 results thus far.   We discuss what the follow-up process will be at Jalsuri North and Jalsuri Northeast, where other holes have been drilled and are awaiting assays. 
 
We also reviewed the recent high-grade results at Pocañita Chica from CO-0013, and how the company is currently drilling to undercut the prior holes drilled CO-008 and CO-009 during Phase 1 drilling to test the potential deeper feeder zones. Wrapping up we also discussed the future initiatives to do first pass drilling at the larger Pocañita Grande target.
