The KE Report

In this episode, we are joined by Brien Lundin, Editor of the Gold Newsletter and host of the prestigious New Orleans Investment Conference. Brien provides an insider’s recap of the recent PDAC and MIF conferences in Toronto, sharing why he believes the resource sector is currently on the verge of a historic re-rating.
Key Discussion Points:
Market Sentiment and PDAC Recap: Brien discusses the overwhelming enthusiasm at recent industry conferences, noting that for the first time in years, the vast majority of companies are presenting fundamentally strong investment arguments.
The Power of Cut-Off Grades: As gold prices reach new heights, companies are recalculating their resources. Brian explains how dropping a cut-off grade can instantly increase a project’s defined ounces by 50% to 100%, significantly boosting the bottom line.
Production vs. Exploration Dynamics: While majors are maximizing production to capture high margins, Brien highlights why the exploration end of the market remains the most exciting area for triple-digit returns.
Strategic Stock Picks: Brien shares his current outlook on specific companies, including Prospector Metals (PPP.V) and Cassiar Gold (GLDC.V), as well as emerging opportunities in critical metals like tungsten through Spartan Metals (SPAT.CN).
A Dual Bull Market: We explore the rare occurrence of a simultaneous secular bull market in both monetary metals (gold and silver) and base metals (copper), driven by intense supply constraints and high demand from the tech sector.

Tim Shearcroft,  CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSXV: BPAG), joins me for a review of some bonanza-grade final assay results from the remaining eight drill holes of its eleven-hole Phase I drill program at the Cosuño Silver Project in Bolivia. We discuss the follow up geophysics survey and goals of the Phase II exploration program. Additionally, the Company is working on finalizing the title at their Titiri Project, located in a major under-explored silver belt with Tier 1 discovery potential.
 
Phase I Highlights:
 
Drilling intersected multiple zones of high-grade silver mineralization at the Pocañita Chica target: Diamond Drill Hole # CO-0008 returned 5m @ 600.4 g/t silver, including 1m @ 1655 g/t silver;
Diamond Drill Hole # CO-0009 returned 1m @ 526 g/t silver and 6m @ 147 g/t silver.
The Program achieved its primary objective of confirming silver mineralization within the lithocap beneath surface geochemical anomalies, materially de-risking Cosuño.
Silver mineralization was intersected in all four targets tested across an approximately 2.7 km NE-SW corridor, confirming the presence of a robust silver and polymetallic system which remains open for expansion along strike and at depth.
 
The Program successfully tested key zones along a 2.7 km structural trend, returning significant silver intercepts at the 4 targets tested to date (Figures 1 to 3):
 
Pocañita Chica – Broad mineralized envelopes with high-grade silver intervals hosted in hydrothermal breccias.
Pocalleta – Structurally controlled vein mineralization confirming depth potential.
Jalsuri – High-grade silver intercepts with gold 2.7 km northeast of Pocañita Chica, indicating district-scale continuity.
Benhur – Additional silver mineralization along the same structural corridor.
 
Additionally, their team is working with the government to finalize obtaining the title to begin exploration on their Titiri Project.  Titiri was staked over a large land concession containing outcropping mineralization historically explored by ASARCO.  This Project contains a 2.5km-long silver-lead-zinc zone, with excellent historical trench results, that was never drilled. Titiri is a very High Priority structural setting at the intersection of several major crustal-scale faults, along which multiple deposits occur.  There is a MOU in place with local communities, and they’d like to get on the ground for exploration in mid-2026.

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joins me to review the March 2nd news that announced its flagship Diablillos silver-gold project has been formally approved for inclusion under Argentina's Large Investment Incentive Regime ("RIGI").   We also discussed the upcoming catalysts of the updated Mineral Resource estimate (“MRE”), Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”), Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) permit, and ongoing Phase 6 Exploration Program for the balance of 2026.
 
The RIGI approval was confirmed by Argentina's Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, through his official X account on Friday February 27th. The official government resolution announcing RIGI approval for the Diablillos project is expected later in March.
 
RIGI is a federal investment framework designed to accelerate large-scale development projects in Argentina by providing long-term fiscal stability along with competitive tax, customs, and foreign-exchange benefits. Both Salta and Catamarca Provinces, where Diablillos is located, have opted into the regime. This RIGI approval substantially increases the project's economics, with around $1Billion in savings at current spot prices, and this provides increased certainty as Diablillos moves into its next phase of development and eventual construction.
 
John takes us through the busy year of catalysts the company has on tap, starting with all the drilling data from Phase V being compiled into an updated Resource Estimate that will come out in parallel with their Definitive Feasibility Study, which is due out in the 2nd quarter of 2026.  Additionally, the Company is awaiting their EIA permit, which will be the trigger for a construction decision later in the year.
 
John highlighted that ongoing detailed engineering work, procurement planning, and upgrades to existing infrastructure are also advancing in parallel to ensure construction readiness. Following receipt of the EIA, the Company intends to initiate early works in a phased and disciplined manner, while continuing to advance project financing to fund the mine build.
 
If you have any follow up questions for John regarding at AbraSilver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.

[Recorded February 28th, 2026]:   Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF), joins me for a special video update to visually highlight the key takeaways from the 2025 exploration season.  Consolidated results now include all the multi-element results, from 110 holes drilled on the Surebet Discovery at the Golddigger Property; located in the Golden Triangle, B.C.  We also discuss the strong financial position of the treasury, which has budgeted another large expansion drill program in 2026.
 
On February 24, 2026, the Company announced the multi-element results on the final 56 drill holes, accounting for silver, copper, lead, and zinc values within these holes. Goliath reported an average 19.6% increase in overall grade values from these previously announced gold-only assays, with numerous high-grade intercepts including 24.16 g/t AuEq over 7.00 meters.
Across all 110 drill holes completed during the 2025 season, this polymetallic contribution is an average increase of 16.5% in overall grade values from the gold-only assays.
92,000 meters of drilling was completed in the four prior drilling seasons (2021-2024) on the Surebet Discovery resulted in the modeling of a vast stacked vein system.
The 2025 drilling season alone, with more than 64,000 meters of drilling, has expanded the modelled stacked vein system that remains open; over 156,000 meters total have been drilled to date.
Of the holes drilled during the 2025 campaign, 83 out of 110 holes (or 76%) contained visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE).
100% of the drill holes completed to date, have all intersected gold mineralization clearly demonstrating the remarkable continuity, grades, and widths in 5 Main Gold-Rich Zones comprising 46 mineralized lodes that remain open for expansion.
Roger outlines the Company’s rationale that it makes far more sense to keep expanding the mineralization with aggressive exploration programs, versus trying to pin down the MRE at this stage; when the Project is still open in most directions.
This demonstrates the continuity of this high-grade gold system and the remaining untapped expansion potential of the Surebet discovery for 2026 and beyond..
 
The fully funded 2026 drill program will be mainly focused on expanding their 5 Main Mineralized Zones at the Surebet Discovery. Data compilation and interpretation is underway which will be used to vector in on the indicated Motherlode causative intrusive source to this extensive high grade gold system with widespread VG-NE.
 
On February 28, 2026, Goliath Resources announced that it has applied to the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX.V”) to extend the term of an aggregate of 2,590,673 common share purchase warrants of the Company, with each Warrant being exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $2.50 per Warrant Share. In addition to future conversion of warrants from Rob McEwen, the company’s equity holdings of McEwen Inc (MUX) shares, which have essentially gone up about 3X since acquiring them, also provide the option for more capital inflows into the company treasury to fund more exploration.
 
 
If you have any questions for Roger about Goliath Resources, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com .
 
In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Goliath Resources at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.

Jordan Rusche, Founder of Mining Stock Monkey, joins me for an in-depth and nuanced discussion on the recent volatility in oil prices, gold and silver prices, and his approach to valuing precious metals mining stocks and royalty companies; along with which companies he is actively trading in his portfolio.
 
We start out reviewing how the geopolitical tensions with the US and Iran have spiked the oil price over the past week, but that he is valuing companies on their fundamental alpha, regardless of the short-term noise in the market from news.
 
We dissected the value proposition synergies from the news announced February 2nd about Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) and Coterra Energy (NYSE: CTRA) announcing a merger in an all-stock transaction. The business combination will create a leading large-cap shale operator with a high-quality asset base anchored by a premier position in the economic core of the Delaware Basin.
 
Next we shifted over to some of the valuations in the gold producers in his portfolio.
Jordan breaks down why he likes larger producers with growth on tap, highlighting the fundamental growth factors for Endeavour Mining plc (TSX:EDV) (OTCQX:EDVMF) (LSE:EDV) and strong full-year 2025 production of 1,209,000 ounces of gold at an AISC of ~1,435/oz; with a H2-2025 dividend of $200m, and >$1bn shareholder returns program.
We also followed up on our discussion from earlier this month where he was spot on about some of the operational risks he had cautioned investors about with regards to  B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE AMERICAN: BTG), that came out of Q4 earnings, and more importantly, FY guidance for 2026.  
 
We spend the balance of the discussing diving into why he sees the growth and value proposition as compelling in a couple royalty companies:
 
First, Jordan outlines the growth on tap for Royal Gold, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD)over the next couple of years, especially when it comes to some of the long-life assets that came into the company through the acquisition of Sandstorm Gold last year that aren’t properly reflected yet due to limitations in using a DCF valuation.
Second, Jordan highlights that positioning in Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX: ALS) (OTCQX: ATUSF) allows him to have access to Potash, Lithium, Copper, and Renewable Energy sectors; all through the diversification and reduced risk of a solid royalty company.

In this company update, I am joined by Patrick Highsmith, Chairman and Co-Founder of FireFox Gold (TSXV: FFOX | OTCQB: FFOXF | FWB: FIY1). Patrick joins the show to discuss the company’s latest high-grade drill results from the Mustajärvi Gold Project in Finland's Central Lapland Greenstone Belt.
Discussion Highlights:
The Second Best Intercept Ever: Patrick breaks down the massive result from hole 25MJ012, which returned 7.6 metres at 32.25 g/t gold, including a ultra-high-grade sub-interval of 188.5 g/t gold.
Narrowing the Gap: We explore the strategic importance of the "Gap Zone" between the East and Northeast Zones, where recent drilling has successfully connected mineralized structures over a strike length exceeding 1.1 kilometres.
Geological Consistency: A look into why Mustajärvi continues to deliver high-grade gold with significant visible gold (VG) and how the project’s stacked lode system remains open for expansion.
2026 Drill Program Outlook: An update on the 10,000-metre program, with 15 holes currently pending assays and plans to test the intriguing Triangle Target as spring exploration continues.
