The KE Report

In this KE Report company update, we’re joined by Greg McCunn, President & CEO of Great Pacific Gold (TSX.V:GPAC - OTCQX:GPGCF - FRA:V3H), to review new drill results from the Wild Dog Project in Papua New Guinea. The focus remains on the Sinivit target, where ongoing drilling continues to deliver consistent high-grade gold-equivalent intercepts.
Key discussion points include:
High-Grade Drill Results - Hole 14 returned 9.5 meters at 13.8 g/t gold equivalent, adding to a growing list of strong intercepts from the Northern Sulfide Zone.
Focus on Depth Potential - Drilling is now testing below 200 meters, targeting extensions of mineralization that management believes could host the most significant ounces.
Refined Geological Model - Results support a model of high-grade pods within a larger epithermal system rather than continuous grades along strike.
Strong Cash Position & Next Steps - With ~C$13 million in cash, the company plans to add a second drill rig in early 2026 and continue aggressive exploration.

Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins me for a comprehensive review of all 4 company Projects, on an operational, developmental and exploration perspective. The Company operates the high-grade San Albino gold mine in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. Mako owns the Moss Mine in Arizona, an open pit gold mine in northwestern Arizona, which is ramping up production. Mako now controls the permitted Mt. Hamilton Gold-Silver Project located in White Pine County, Nevada, USA as the next key development project in the cue.  Mako also holds a 100% interest in the PEA-stage Eagle Mountain Project in Guyana, South America.
 
Initially we review the San Albino operations, how Q3 was a solid quarter, but not running as optimally as it has been in Q4.  San Albino ranks as one of the highest-grade open pit gold mines globally and this is translating over to great revenues in light of the higher metals prices.  Akiba points out that really Q4 will be the strongest quarter of the year, and this is what company has been guiding all along, but that December is turning out to be the strongest month operationally thus far.   Additionally, we discuss all the district-scale exploration potential and multiple drill rigs turning around the mine and across the land concession.
 
We also unpack the ramp of mining at the tail end of Q3 and into Q4 at the Moss Mine, in Arizona.   Akiba unpacks some of the operational and site layout challenges their team has overcome or has a process in place to address in the year to come.  Even though Moss is a lower-grade mine, and has only been operating as partial efficiency, it has still been profitable. As mining increases by accessing better areas of the mine, and debottlenecking certain processes, then costs will come down and it should become a bigger contributor as next year progresses.
 
The Mt. Hamilton Project has all major state and federal permits to allow construction of an open pit, heap leach gold-silver project, and has a current mineral resource estimate with an effective date of September 23, 2025. We discuss the related-party transaction involving Sailfish Royalty Corp, and some of work flying drones over the property a couple of weeks back before the snowy weather came in, setting them up for development work this April.
 
Additionally, we discussed the 2nd layer of mineralization and value proposition of the Mt Hamilton Project, because it also hosts a tungsten/copper/molybdenum target, located below and independent of the gold and silver Mt. Hamilton MRE. This tungsten target has been defined by over 100,000 ft of historical exploration drilling. In a report by the Department of the Interior, dated August 25, 2025, tungsten (W) was named as one of the top 10 critical metals listed by their estimated probability-weighted impact of supply disruptions on the U.S. economy.  There is the potential to seek government funds allocated for the development of critical minerals for this portion of the deposit down the road as another potential opportunity.
 
Wrapping up, we delve into the next key steps for permitting and development work at the Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana; set to be in construction in late 2026 and production by H2 of 2027..

This Weekend Show is all about precious metals momentum, and the why behind it. Brien Lundin argues we’re watching the classic bull-market baton pass (silver + miners leading gold), while Jeff Christian breaks down what the data actually shows behind silver’s explosive run above $60, and why volatility could cut both ways in the weeks ahead.
Segment 1 & 2 - Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference, joins the KE Report Weekend Show to break down his massive year-end issue - covering macro trends, metals and market outlooks, dozens of junior mining updates, and five new stock recommendations - while explaining why he sees silver and mining equities leading gold into a potentially strong seasonal early-2026 rally driven by the broader “debasement trade” and rising liquidity across commodities.

Oliver Turner, Executive VP of Corporate Development for Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS), joined me for a comprehensive review of the several key optimization initiatives ongoing at their producing 100% owned Galena Complex, located in Idaho, USA; as well as at the EC120 mine at their Cosalá Operations, located in Sinaloa, Mexico.  Additionally, we reviewed the news out today regarding the closing of the acquisition of the Crescent Silver Mine located just 9 miles away from their Galena Complex in Idaho.
 
We started off unpacking the multifaceted approach to optimizing their Galena mining complex this year, comprised of 4 shafts and 2 mills currently being underutilized, but setting up for a marked incremental increase in production growth over the next few years.
The company has invested big in 2025 in a new fleet of mobile equipment to improve efficiencies and uptime.
There is a 2-phase upgrade initiative for the hoist at the No. 3 Shaft, where the motor was upgraded to a larger more powerful one, increasing the amount of tonnes that can be raised each day. Additionally, there is a more advanced breaking system and communication platform that will be implemented in 2026 that will further increase the amount of ore that can be raised and run through the mill for processing.
A key shift to from the ‘Cut and Fill’ mining method using hand held jacklegs, to a mechanized Long Hole Stoping mining method, which is far more efficient and still quite precise.
Grade-driven growth, building upon future mine sequencing following up on the successful exploration at the 034 vein at the 5200 level and the 149 vein at the 4300 level.
There is capacity at their 2 mills to accept larger amounts of throughput as mining capacity expands
The incorporation of new management and operational personnel, building for the future.
Next we discussed the big news out today on December 12, that the Company has closed the acquisition of Crescent Silver, LLC, which owns the Crescent Mine in Idaho. The consideration under the Acquisition is made up of US$20 million in cash and approximately 11.1 million common shares of Americas Gold and Silver. The Crescent Mine is a synergistic addition located just 9 miles from the Galena Complex, and is a fully permitted past producing mine which will be advanced for a restart in 2026.  The Crescent Mine will provide a supplementary high-grade source of feed to their 2 mills at Galena, further utilizing processing capacity.   The mineralized material at Crescent is very similar to the tetrahedrite material at Galena which contains high grade Silver and significant by-product potential from antimony and copper, which meshes perfectly with their strategy to maximize the production value across all metals.
 
Throughout  2025, there has been very promising metallurgical testing, confirming high recoveries of antimony alongside strong silver and copper recoveries from ore currently being processed.  Until recently the company was not getting paid for antimony or copper, but that will be changing in 2026 based on a new off-take agreement signed with Ocean Partners USA Inc. for treatment of up to 100% of the concentrates from the Company’s Galena Complex at Teck Resources Limited’s Trail Operations in Trail British Columbia; one of the world’s largest fully-integrated zinc, lead and critical metals complexes.
 
Next we shifted down to the Cosalá Operations in Mexico, with the operating San Rafael and El Cajon mines, which has been critical to getting the company through tougher markets over the years.   The Company is investing in exploration to extend the San Rafael mine, and importantly tunneling over into a new area of the El Cajon mine called the EC120 mine, which will now see increased silver production in the years to come. This brought up the point that this company is one of the few North American silver-focused producers with the objective of over 80% of its revenue generated from silver in the year to come.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins us for a Q3 financial and operations review at their producing McCreedy West copper mine, located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.  We also review the continued high-grade drill results across copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver in more recent assays returned from the ongoing exploration and development work at the Levack Mine. Additionally, we get a nice update on the development pathway at the Crean Hill Project to round out the discussion.
 
Q3 Financial and Operational Highlights:
 
The three months ended September 30, 2025 (“Q3 2025”) was Magna’s second full quarter of production at the McCreedy West copper-precious metals Mine.
Total ore processed in Q3 2025 was 75,215 tons from the 700 Footwall Copper Zone at a grade of 2.64% copper equivalent (“CuEq”).
Quarterly production of 2.7 million pounds (“lbs”) CuEq at cash costs of US$5.10/lb CuEq was impacted by the previously disclosed compressed air system failure and power related delays, which delayed access to higher grade stopes and has since been rectified.
Sustaining capital expenditures at McCreedy West totalled $4.1 million during the quarter, a 123% increase from Q2 of 2025, including $2.7 million towards critical capital development and $1.4 million in fixed and mobile machinery upgrades, focused on improving asset reliability moving forward.
Underground development during the quarter totaled 1,796 feet and continues to be prioritized in Q4 to provide increased production optionality and flexibility to support a more robust operating plan in 2026.
Ended Q3 2025 with a cash balance of $63.1 million and subsequent to September 30 the Company issued 14,933,518 common shares upon the exercise of warrants for proceeds of $6.0 million.
 
Next our conversation with Jason shifted over the workstreams building towards a mine restart plan at Levack Mine in 2026; based on the recently released resource estimate. We reviewed the steady stream of drill assays reported this year from Levack with high-grade copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver intercepts.  Jason highlights the optionality the different zones give the company as far as potential mine sequencing, and he notes growing value of precious metals as contributing metals credits to the project.
 
We discuss some of the critical zones of mineralize in areas like the No.1 to No. 2 Main area, the Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE deposit, the Keel Zone, and the footwall environment between the No.2 and No. 3 Ni-Cu Zone.  However, another newer discovery area, the R2 Zone, is quickly growing in importance as to how it could impact the early stages of mining in a development scenario; but being earlier-stage it still requires much more drilling.
 
Levack Exploration Highlights from the R2 Zone, released December 9th include:
 
FNX6083-W3   12.9% Cu, 140.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 78.0 g/t Ag over 0.3 metres, And 18.6% Cu, 38.5 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 105.0 g/t Ag over 0.6 metres
FNX6083-W4   12.3% Cu, 22.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 78.9 g/t Ag over 1.3 metres,
FNX2026-W1    4.5% Cu, 12.4 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 30.0 g/t Ag over 0.3 metres,
FNX2026-W2   24.8% Cu, 26.3 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 153.0 g/t Ag over 0.3 metres,  And  25.0% Cu, 34.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 151.0 g/t Ag over 0.4 metres
 
Wrapping up we widened the scope beyond just the currently producing McCreedy West mine, and development of the Levack Mine into an upcoming production decision next year, into another flagship asset in their portfolio at Crean Hill. Jason reviews some work being completed at present by a contract with regards to water treatment, and that there are further development initiatives at Crean Hill ongoing in the background where they will be summarized for investors in the middle of 2026.   
 
With a number of government grants and initiatives available at both the provincial and federal levels, targeting the development of critical minerals projects, Jason highlights that there could be a pathway for dual development of Crean Hill in concert with Levack over the next couple years if they were able to secure some of this non-dilutive capital, or at least an attractive cost of capital.  He reiterated that the Company maintains its ambition to become a multi-mine producer in the Sudbury Basin.
