This week on The KE Report Weekend Show, we sit down with market legends Rick Bensignor and Dan Steffens to unpack a powerful macro shift in global markets. As inflation pressures mount and fiat currencies erode, Rick Bensignor breaks down the technical charts for gold, silver, and critical minerals - revealing the exact levels investors need to watch for the next major commodity breakout. Then, energy expert Dan Steffens joins the conversation to dissect the structural supply crisis in the oil patch, the staggering draws on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), and why top unhedged North American producers are positioned for massive free cash flow. Whether you are navigating precious metals or positioning for the energy squeeze, this episode delivers actionable data and top stock picks to help you stay ahead of the curve. 
 
Segment 1 & 2 - Rick Bensignor, President of Bensignor Investment Strategies, provides a comprehensive chart-based analysis of multiple financial markets. He maintains a structurally bullish long-term outlook on gold due to currency devaluation but warns of a near-term correction down to the $3,700/oz range driven by a potential short-squeeze on the US dollar. Furthermore, Bensignor outlines why global interest rates have officially bottomed, notes that physical oil market metrics skew risks heavily to the upside, and cautions that the US equity market is flashing exhaustion signals after a historic vertical rally.

Segment 3 & 4 - Dan Steffens, President of the Energy Prospectus Group, joins the show to analyze the current volatility in the energy sector, focusing on the fundamental supply-demand squeeze in the oil market and the highly seasonal nature of natural gas prices. Throughout the discussion, Dan outlines several key investment opportunities, highlighting unhedged producers like Diamondback and EOG, specific Canadian plays such as Tourmaline and Whitecap, and the strong post-merger potential of special-situation stocks like Crescent Energy, SM Energy, and Devon Energy.

Scott Emerson, President and CEO of Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF) joins us to review the completion of high-resolution satellite surveys of the Las Coloradas and Almoloya projects located in the Parral District, in Chihuahua, Mexico. We go on to discuss some of the key drill targets and exploration initiatives at these 2 silver and gold projects based on the various data sets their team has compiled.
 
Kingsmen is now preparing a comprehensive 3D compilation of topography, surface geochemical samples, magnetic data, induced polarization/resistivity data, geology and drill hole data for the Las Coloradas project. This integration of datasets, combined with the ongoing drill program, is identifying new drill targets and providing a clearer understanding of the vertical and lateral distribution of silver-gold mineralization — its variants, mineralized structures and their relationship to different geological units including sediments, volcanics and intrusives.
 
We start off with Scott briefly reviewing the 3,300-meter maiden reconnaissance drill program in 2025; with 12 holes that encountered broad intercepts and contained pockets of high-grade silver and gold mineralization for follow-up drilling around the historic Mine Target and DBD Target.  
 
The company has raised capital for a fully-funded 15,000 meter follow-up program at both their Las Coloradas Project and initial drilling at the Almoloya Gold/Silver Project. At this point, about ¾ of the drilling will be stepping out and going deeper across Las Coloradas, while also testing a few compelling regional targets. Then there are 2 historic mine areas at Almoloya, with much different geology that will be drilled.
 
 Las Coloradas High-Grade Silver Project
 
Step-out and deeper drilling planned on the high-grade Soledad and Soledad II vein systems, following up around the Mine and DBD zones
Approximately 700 metres of the Soledad structure remains to be tested
New priority regional drill targets emerging at Saddle, Silvia, Leona, and La Plata zones
Multiple large-scale, largely untested targets highlight district-scale discovery potential at Las Coloradas
 
Almoloya Gold/Silver Project
 
Initial diamond drilling planned on the gold-rich Juliettas structures
District-scale CRD and oxide potential identified at Cigarrero Mine área
 
Wrapping up Scott highlights the financial health of the company, the closing of the upsized bought deal financing in January, and the continued support from their key stakeholders. Scott reiterated that the future value creation will be determined with the drill bit, and will have plenty of exploration news on tap for the balance of this year.
