Posted on behalf of Spartan Metals Corp. - Today, Spartan Metals Corp. (Ticker: W.v or SPRMF for US investors) announced that its exploration program has confirmed two tungsten skarn zones at the Tungstonia Claims within its 100% owned Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project in Nevada.

Spartan is focused on developing critical minerals projects in established and stable mining jurisdictions in the Western United States. Its portfolio is built around strategic defense minerals, including tungsten, rubidium, antimony and more.

At Eagle, the latest exploration work confirmed skarn mineralization at the past-producing Yellow Jacket Mine, where historic production grades were approximately 12% tungsten trioxide, or WO3. 

Rock sampling from within the mine entrance and dumps delivered tungsten assays of 99%, 1.87%, 0.89%, and 1.67% WO3, along with highlights of 3.3% zinc and 1,320 ppm beryllium. 

The company noted that beryllium had not been previously reported at the Eagle Project. 

Backpack core drilling also returned 0.3m of 21% WO3 and 0.33% zinc. (Note that true thicknesses/widths of mineralization remain unknown.)

The program also identified a new tungsten-skarn discovery within the SE Tungsten Anomaly, a tungsten soil anomaly in the southeast portion of the project that was reported in December 2025.

Rock chip sampling from this target returned 34% WO3, 1.9 g/t Ag, and 144 ppm beryllium. 

Backpack core drilling also encountered previously unobserved molybdenum mineralization, with results ranging between 0.01% and 0.08% Mo, along with rubidium values ranging between 1,122 and 2,122 ppm Rb and silver values ranging between 1.2 and 3.1 g/t Ag.

Mccolybdenum and beryllium mineralization, along with tungsten and silver grades encountered over an area measuring approximately 2km in length and width, suggest multiple pulses of mineralization.

The discoveries were made as part of Spartan’s exploration program announced on May 21, 2026 which used a portable backpack drill, to rapidly evaluate potential drill locations before larger diamond core drills are mobilized, along with rock chip and channel sampling. 

Spartan plans to continue its 2026 exploration program, including continued surface sampling of soils and rocks and additional backpack drilling over claims acquired in November 2025. 

Ground geophysics surveys are also being conducted to inform the depths of existing 2+km tungsten-silver veins and potential tungsten skarn mineralization that is coincident with tungsten-silver-rubidium soil anomalies and at Yellow Jacket.

Spartan is planning approximately 3,000m of diamond core drilling in early to mid-August at high-priority targets identified through surface sampling and geophysics surveys. 

The upcoming drilling is expected to further evaluate targets generated by the company’s exploration work at the Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project in Nevada.

Posted on behalf of StrikePoint Gold Inc - Both gold and silver took a step back today, but the bigger picture is what matters for an explorer like StrikePoint (SKP, STKXF), which is turning a completed Nevada drill program into its first-ever resource number.

The Metal Backdrop
- Gold eased around 1.5% today to roughly $4,140 an ounce, still sitting at historically elevated levels.
- Silver fell harder, off about 5.8% to near $62, after a strong run this year.
- A firm price tape is exactly the kind of environment a resource-definition story wants heading into its catalyst.

The Flagship Catalyst
- The 2026 Hercules program is done: 29 RC holes for 3,918 m in Nevada's Walker Lane, one of North America's premier gold belts.
- The company says that drilling is built to support a maiden resource estimate anticipated in Q4 2026 (per its May 2026 assay releases).
- That maiden number is the single defining near-term event for the story.

What's Feeding the Number
- Best hole H26004: 114.30 m @ 0.69 g/t Au and 5.03 g/t Ag, including 9.14 m @ 2.95 g/t Au and 16.18 g/t Ag.
- Hercules target: 21.34 m @ 0.62 g/t Au, 8.6 g/t Ag.
- Cliffs target: 13.72 m @ 1.09 g/t Au, 4.6 g/t Ag, where a broad oxide gold zone is developing.

Framed Upside
- Hercules carries an exploration target of 819,000 to 1,019,000 oz Au at 0.48 to 0.63 g/t. That is a target, not a defined resource, the maiden estimate is still pending.

For the assay detail and the best hole, see the company's spring 2026 Hercules news releases. With the drilling finished and the metal backdrop holding up, the next few months position StrikePoint around one clear question: what the rock adds up to when the maiden resource lands.

Posted on behalf of Selkirk Copper Mines Inc. - Selkirk Copper Mines Inc. (Ticker: SCMI.v or SKRKF for US investors) is advancing the former Minto copper-gold-silver mine in Yukon through a large-scale exploration drilling program and a restart and redevelopment plan centred on best-in-class environmentally sustainable mining, development and reclamation practices.

The company’s Minto Project is supported by 26,850 hectares of prospective mineral claims in the Minto-Carmacks copper belt, as well as substantial existing open-pit and underground infrastructure. 

The site includes a 4,100 tonne per day processing plant, a 400-person full-rotation camp, water treatment facilities, access roads, a powerline, numerous ancillary buildings, and mobile equipment tied to the former Minto mine.

Selkirk recently reported the final assay results from its Phase 1 drill program at the Minto Project in Yukon, Canada, while also providing an update on the company’s ongoing 50,000m Phase 2 drill campaign.

Phase 1 Results Across The Minto Mine Footprint
The Phase 1 drill program was completed between August 2025 and April 2026 and returned high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralization across five target areas within the Minto mine footprint: Area 118, the 117 Lens, Minto East, Ridgetop, and Minto North.

At Area 118, drilling confirmed the discovery of the high-grade 301 Lens below previous drilling. Hole 26SCM157 returned one of the key intercepts from the program, grading 4.39% Cu, 7.60 g/t Au, and 21.07 g/t Ag, or 10.22% CuEq, over 4.1m. According to the company, the gold and silver grades in this hole are among the highest precious metal concentrations recorded in all previous drilling at Minto. Selkirk plans to conduct additional drilling at Area 118 as part of Phase 2.

At the 117 Lens, which is located underground between the Minto Main Pit and Area 2 Pit, drilling returned both broad copper-gold-silver mineralization and higher-grade intervals. Hole 26SCM142 intersected 2.93% Cu, 1.50 g/t Au, and 16.37 g/t Ag, or 4.19% CuEq, over 5.0m from 325.4m. The 117 Lens remains open to the west, and a step-out result indicates potential for further expansion.

Deeper And Near-Surface Mineralization
Minto East continued to return high-grade mineralization below the limits of previous drilling. Hole 26SCM134 intersected 3.77% Cu, 6.74 g/t Au, and 23.68 g/t Ag, or 8.99% CuEq, over 3.8m. This result was part of a wider interval grading 1.38% Cu, 2.34 g/t Au, and 8.67 g/t Ag, or 3.20% CuEq, over 11.3m from 639.7m. The company reported that this represents the deepest intercept of high-grade mineralization ever drilled at Minto.

At Minto North, drilling further defined high-grade mineralization within the 202 Lens. Hole 26SCM131 returned 3.56% Cu, 2.34 g/t Au, and 21.42 g/t Ag, or 5.48% CuEq, over 3.7m. The intercept was contained within a broader 21.7m interval grading 0.89% Cu, 0.49 g/t Au, and 4.84 g/t Ag, or 1.29% CuEq, from 195m. The 202 Lens has been selected for geological modelling and resource estimation and is described as notably higher-grade than other areas of Minto North.

Ridgetop continued to deliver broad near-surface mineralized intervals. Hole 26SCM137 returned 0.46% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au, and 1.57 g/t Ag, or 0.58% CuEq, over 69.6m from 13.7m. Mineralization at Ridgetop begins at the top of bedrock beneath a thin veneer of overburden, which could represent an opportunity for extraction early in the mine life with minimal waste stripping.

Phase 2 Drilling Now Advancing
Overall, the Phase 1 results outlined multiple copper-gold-silver target areas across the Minto mine footprint. The company’s Phase 2 program is now focused on resource expansion and infill drilling at several of those same areas.

As of June 1, Selkirk had completed 14,000m in 59 holes, representing 28% of the planned 50,000m campaign. Results from Phase 2 are expected to be released through the summer and fall of 2026.

Posted on behalf of Goldgroup Mining Inc. - Goldgroup Mining Inc. (Ticker: GGA.v or GGAZF for US investors) announced on June 18, 2026, that it has commenced a 24,000m diamond core drilling program at its 100%-owned San Francisco gold project in Sonora, Mexico.

The program marks the first new drilling at San Francisco in many years and is designed to update the resource model, optimize the mine plan, provide new structural data and deliver other technical information in preparation for restarting mining operations.

It is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026, with an estimated budget of approximately US$8 million funded in-house. 

Goldgroup is targeting a restart of gold production at San Francisco by the end of 2026 or early 2027.

In a recent video update, Goldgroup CEO Ralph Shearing explained that the drilling is intended to provide greater confidence in the mine plan and verify existing mineralization in and around the current pits and at depth. 

“We'll be drilling about 24,000 meters over the coming several months, and then we're going to be using that information to try to put this project back into production towards the end of this year or early next year at the latest. That should add at least 40,000 ounces of gold to our production profile.”

Shearing noted that stronger metal prices could allow the project to go deeper, with the current program designed to help confirm that potential.

San Francisco is fully permitted for a rapid restart of mining operations.

The project includes two open pits, heap leach processing facilities & associated infrastructure, and Measured & Indicated resources estimated at 1.2 million oz gold (see GGA's May 1, 2026 NI 43-101 Technical Report)

Ralph Shearing highlighted that San Francisco’s existing infrastructure is a key advantage, reducing the time required to bring the mine back into production to less than one year at a very low capital cost. 

He identified the potential for rapid exposure to cash flow, resource expansion, mine life expansion and exploration discovery upside as key value drivers.

The company also indicated that San Francisco has significant upside through optimized development and multiple large-scale exploration targets. 

While the current 24,000m program is focused on mine planning and technical work for restart preparation, Goldgroup intends to aggressively explore these targets in a subsequent drilling campaign focused on exploration.

San Francisco would add to Goldgroup’s existing producing Cerro Prieto heap leach gold mine, also located in Sonora, Mexico.

Posted on behalf of Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. - Today, Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (Ticker: SM.v or SMDRF for US investors) and First Majestic Silver Corp. announced the closing of Sierra Madre’s previously announced acquisition of First Majestic Del Toro, S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned First Majestic subsidiary that holds a 100% interest in the Del Toro Silver Mine in Mexico.

The acquisition adds a past-producing silver asset to Sierra Madre’s Mexico-focused precious metals portfolio, which already includes the La Guitarra mine in the Temascaltepec mining district and the Tepic property in Nayarit.

Del Toro has existing production infrastructure in place, with the company’s focus now turning to near-term resource expansion drilling. Approximately 30,000m of drilling is planned, with the program expected to support an updated Mineral Resource estimate followed by a potential mine restart.

Sierra Madre President and CEO Alex Langer described the closing as an important step as the company advances toward mid-tier silver production. 

He noted that Del Toro is a complementary addition to Sierra Madre’s portfolio and highlighted the asset’s potential for resource growth and a possible return to cash flow generation.

At closing of the acquisition, Sierra Madre paid First Majestic US$20,000,000 in cash and 10,870,000 common shares (First Majestic now owns ~24.77% of Sierra Madre shares).

Sierra Madre must also pay US$10,000,000 within 18 months of closing, with two additional US$10,000,000 milestone payments potentially payable if Del Toro reaches the stated resource and commercial production milestones.

Sierra Madre’s current portfolio also includes the La Guitarra mine, a permitted underground mine with a 500 tpd processing facility that operated until mid-2018 and restarted commercial production in January 2025. 

Additionally, the company holds the +2,600 ha Tepic Project, which hosts low-sulphidation epithermal gold and silver mineralization with an existing historic resource.

With Del Toro now closed, Sierra Madre has added another Mexico-based silver asset with existing infrastructure, a defined near-term drilling plan, and potential restart upside as the company advances its broader precious metals development and production strategy.

Posted on behalf of Selkirk Copper Mines Inc. - Selkirk Copper (Ticker: SCMI.v or SKRKF for US investors) is advancing the former Minto copper-gold-silver mine in Yukon with a large exploration drilling campaign and a restart and redevelopment plan focused on best-in-class environmentally sustainable mining, development and reclamation practices.

The company’s position is anchored by 26,850 hectares of prospective mineral claims in the Minto-Carmacks copper belt, along with significant existing open-pit and underground infrastructure.

This includes a 4,100 tonne per day processing plant, a 400-person full-rotation camp, water treatment facilities, access roads, a powerline, numerous ancillary buildings, and mobile equipment centred on the former Minto mine.

Selkirk recently reported the final assay results from its Phase 1 drill program at the Minto Project in Yukon, Canada, alongside an update on its ongoing 50,000m Phase 2 drill campaign.

The Phase 1 program, carried out between August 2025 and April 2026, returned high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralization across five target areas within the Minto mine footprint: Area 118, the 117 Lens, Minto East, Ridgetop, and Minto North.

At Area 118, Phase 1 drilling confirmed the discovery of the high-grade 301 Lens below previous drilling.

One of the standout intercepts came from hole 26SCM157, which returned 4.39% Cu, 7.60 g/t Au, and 21.07 g/t Ag, or 10.22% CuEq, over 4.1m.

The gold and silver grades in hole 26SCM157 are among the highest precious metal concentrations recorded in all previous drilling at Minto. The company plans additional drilling at Area 118 during Phase 2.

Phase 1 drilling at the 117 Lens, situated underground between the Minto Main Pit and Area 2 Pit, returned both broad copper-gold-silver mineralization and higher-grade intervals.

Hole 26SCM142 intersected 2.93% Cu, 1.50 g/t Au, and 16.37 g/t Ag, or 4.19% CuEq, over 5.0m from 325.4m and overall the 117 Lens remains open to the west, with a step-out result indicating potential for further expansion.

Drilling at Minto East continued to push high-grade mineralization below the limits of earlier drilling. Hole 26SCM134 returned 3.77% Cu, 6.74 g/t Au, and 23.68 g/t Ag, or 8.99% CuEq, over 3.8m.

This intercept was included within a broader interval of 1.38% Cu, 2.34 g/t Au, and 8.67 g/t Ag, or 3.20% CuEq, over 11.3m from 639.7m.

This result represents the deepest intercept of high-grade mineralization ever drilled at Minto.

At Minto North, drilling further defined high-grade mineralization within the 202 Lens. Hole 26SCM131 returned 3.56% Cu, 2.34 g/t Au, and 21.42 g/t Ag, or 5.48% CuEq, over 3.7m.

The intercept was contained within a wider interval of 21.7m grading 0.89% Cu, 0.49 g/t Au, and 4.84 g/t Ag, or 1.29% CuEq, from 195m. The 202 Lens has been selected for geological modelling and resource estimation and is described as notably higher-grade than other areas of Minto North.

At Ridgetop, Selkirk Copper continued to report broad near-surface mineralized intervals. Hole 26SCM137 returned 0.46% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au, and 1.57 g/t Ag, or 0.58% CuEq, over 69.6m from 13.7m.

Mineralization at Ridgetop starts at the top of bedrock beneath a thin veneer of overburden. This could represent an opportunity for extraction early in the mine life with minimal waste stripping.

Together, the Phase 1 results outlined multiple copper-gold-silver target areas across the Minto mine footprint, while the company’s Phase 2 program is now advancing resource expansion and infill drilling at several of those same areas.

As of June 1, the company had completed 14,000m in 59 holes, equal to 28% of the planned 50,000m campaign.

Results from Phase 2 are expected to be released through the summer and fall of 2026.

Posted on behalf of StrikePoint Gold Inc. - StrikePoint Gold Inc. (Ticker: SKP.v or STKXF for US investors) recently reported additional assay results from its Spring 2026 drill campaign at the Hercules Gold Project in Nevada, located along the Walker Lane trend. The program is intended to provide the data needed to support a maiden resource estimate, which is expected in Q4 2026.

Best Hole Reported to Date at Hercules
The latest results were led by hole H26004 at the Cliffs target, which StrikePoint described as the strongest intercept reported in Hercules project history on a grade-width basis.

H26004 returned 114.30m grading 0.69 g/t gold and 5.03 g/t silver beginning at 135.64m downhole. Within the broader interval, drilling also returned several higher-grade sections, including:

* 9.14m grading 2.95 g/t Au and 16.18 g/t Ag
* 7.62m grading 1.02 g/t Au and 6.76 g/t Ag
* 9.14m grading 1.23 g/t Au and 6.62 g/t Ag

The hole was stopped before reaching its planned depth due to difficult ground conditions. The final sample from H26004 still returned 0.41 g/t gold and 6.4 g/t silver.

Expanding Oxide Gold System at Cliffs
StrikePoint noted that H26004, together with nearby drilling, is continuing to outline a large near-surface oxide gold system in the southern portion of the Cliffs target. Mineralization remains open to the south.

The company also reported that mineralization in H26004 was predominantly oxide, with only minor relict sulphides. StrikePoint stated that this supports the potential for an open-pit heap-leach mining scenario comparable to other Nevada gold operations.

Additional Spring 2026 Drill Results
Beyond H26004, StrikePoint reported additional results from the Spring 2026 program that management described as consistent with the shallow mineralization style identified across the Hercules Gold Project.

These included 13.72m grading 0.76 g/t Au and 1.66 g/t Ag in hole H26018, including 1.52m grading 5.94 g/t Au and 5.20 g/t Ag. At the Loaves target, hole H26010 returned 1.52m grading 2.06 g/t Au and 5.70 g/t Ag. Hole H26027 returned 10.67m grading 0.26 g/t Au and 4.01 g/t Ag, as well as 4.57m grading 0.19 g/t Au and 2.97 g/t Ag.

Broader Exploration Upside Across Hercules
Alongside the drill results, StrikePoint highlighted the wider exploration potential of the Hercules property. The company reports that more than 40 targets across the project remain untested by drilling, including areas where visible gold has been observed at surface.

With drilling continuing to expand the oxide gold footprint at Cliffs, mineralization remaining open to the south, and numerous targets still untested across the property, StrikePoint is advancing Hercules toward its planned Q4 2026 maiden resource estimate while continuing to assess the project’s broader scale potential.

See SKP’s May 26, 2026 press release for more details.

Posted on behalf of Millennial Potash Corp. - Millennial Potash Corp. (Ticker: MLP.v or MLPNF for US investors) is advancing its flagship Banio Potash Project in Gabon, where the company is working to develop a large-scale potash project positioned around resource scale, coastal logistics, development momentum, and broader food security themes. 

Potash is an essential nutrient with no substitute, and approximately 70% of global supply comes from Canada, Russia, and Belarus. 

Millennial’s Gabon-based Banio project adds a different jurisdictional and logistics profile, supported by its Atlantic location, shorter shipping lanes to Brazil compared with Canadian producers, Gabon government support, planned infrastructure, and US DFC non-dilutive funding.

Millennial’s project covers a 1,500 km² license area, with only approximately 5% drilled. Banio also carries projected US$61/t OPEX, US$22/t shipping costs to Brazil, and US$600/t capital intensity, identified by the company as the lowest among peer projects.

In mid-May MLP initiated its Phase 3 drill program at Banio, with four additional potash-specific drillholes planned for approximately 4,000m of drilling.

The Phase 3 program is designed to evaluate the extension of potash resources south and west of the currently outlined mineralization.

Each planned drillhole is estimated at a depth of 1,000m, and the program is planned for completion in Q4 2026.

The work will focus on the southern and western extensions of thick potash sequences, locally exceeding 100m, encountered by previous drilling.

The current geological model suggests the program may be moving deeper into the evaporite basin, where Millennial sees strong potential to intersect all ten potash cycles with significant potash thicknesses.

The new drilling area is primarily covered by savannah, and an old road has been rehabilitated to provide access from the town of Mayumba. This is significant because it removes the need for barges and boat support for shipping machinery and drilling supplies.

Two of the planned holes, BA-007 and BA-008, are located on the recently acquired Haute Banio exploration permit. 

This reflects the strategic importance of the acquisition, which also occupies the coastal region of the project and is located closer to the planned port and other planned infrastructure. 

The project hosts a Measured Mineral Resource Estimate of 648.2M tonnes grading 15.7% KCl, an Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate of 1.8B tonnes grading 15.6% KCl, and an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 3.56B tonnes grading 15.6% KCl (see MLP's December 29, 2025 and November 17, 2025 press releases).

An updated MRE will be undertaken after completion of the drill program and incorporated into the ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study.

For investors following the potash sector, Millennial’s latest update adds a new operational catalyst to a broader story built around resource scale, thick potash sequences, coastal logistics, and the strategic role of potash in global food security.

Posted on behalf of Tiger Gold Corp. - Tiger Gold Corp. (Ticker: TIGR.v or TGRGF for US investors) shared more assay results from its ongoing diamond drilling campaign at the Quinchía Gold Project in Colombia’s prolific Mid-Cauca gold belt.

On June 16, 2026, TIGR reported two of the strongest gold intersections it has drilled to date at the Tesorito deposit, with additional assays pending from both Tesorito and Ceibal.

The latest Tesorito results included 234.54m grading 1.2 g/t Au from 2m downhole, including 27.6m grading 1.8 g/t Au, 26.57m grading 2.3 g/t Au, and 22m grading 1.5 g/t Au (hole TSDH-88). A second hole (TSDH-87) intersected 180.3m grading 1.0 g/t Au from surface, including 66.5m grading 1.3 g/t Au.

President & CEO Robert Vallis described these as “among the best holes we have drilled at Tesorito,” noting that each returned long composite intervals at grades more than double the 0.47 g/t Au average grade of the deposit’s Inferred Mineral Resource.

He also stated that the results, together with the previously reported 98m grading 0.9 g/t Au from 2m downhole (hole TSDH-86), define a coherent, higher-grade corridor of intrusive-hosted gold mineralization.

Drilling is ongoing with two diamond drill rigs at Ceibal and one at Tesorito.

The company expects these infill results to feed directly into its year-end Mineral Resource update for Tesorito, which is aimed at converting a significant portion of the resource to Indicated, and to inform 2027 engineering studies.

Tiger interprets the mineralization along the holes TSDH-86-88 section as being broadly developed across multiple intrusive phases and breccias, rather than confined to a single structure. 

Drilling indicates that the mineralized corridor remains open to the northwest and at depth. 

A further hole drilled along the section to the northwest has been completed, with assays pending.

As drilling continues at Tesorito and Ceibal, Tiger’s latest results further support the scale and advancement potential of the broader Quinchía Gold Project, a multi-million-ounce gold asset in Colombia’s Mid-Cauca belt where the company has exercised its option to acquire a 100% interest.

Posted on behalf of IDEX Metals Corp. - Copper sits around $6.40/lb, but for an early-stage explorer the more interesting story is what's happening beneath the price. IDEX Metals (ticker: IDEX.v or IDXMF for US investors) is chasing a copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry target at its 100%-owned Freeze project in Idaho, and the backdrop is exactly the kind that puts domestic copper ground in focus.

The Supply Setup
- The U.S. added copper to its critical minerals list in late 2025, formally treating it as vital to the economy and national security.
- A January 2026 S&P Global study projects copper demand surging 50% by 2040, reaching 42 million metric tons as electrification accelerates.
- Supply is projected to fall short, creating a 10 million tonne deficit, roughly 25% below demand, even as production peaks at 33 million tonnes in 2030.
- That same S&P report pegs U.S. copper mines among the slowest to develop, averaging about 24 years to become operational, so the gap is hard to close quickly.

Why U.S. Ground
- Freeze sits in the Idaho Copper Belt, Washington and Adams Counties, Idaho, a stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction.
- 100%-owned, 153 lode claims across roughly 31,645 acres.
- Domestic supply is precisely what the reshoring push is trying to build.

The Flagship Catalyst
- A fully-funded 2026 program of approximately 10,000 metres across 20 holes with Geotech Drilling.
- Most holes target roughly 300 to 800 metres of depth, up to a maximum of 1,200 metres, with two rigs (See May 12, 2026 NR).
- The prize is an interpreted porphyry centre across the Kismet Corridor, with the North Breccia and the Frostfall gold zone expanding the mineralized footprint to the north.
- The IP survey was expanded from its initial 37 line-kilometre plan to roughly 64 line-km to sharpen the targets.

An Investor's Read
Investor Jan Luneburg posted on X pushing back against earlier chatter about "significant delays" to the campaign. By his account, the first of the two Geotech rigs is on its last ~200 m toward the first drill pad at the North Breccia, reached via a brand-new access road built to position it over the target anomaly, and he reckons drilling could start this weekend. That's his read rather than a company statement, and the extended IP data is still awaited, but it's a useful outside signal that the campaign is moving.

This is still early-stage exploration with no resource, so it's a discovery story, not a producer comp. But with the setup pulling toward domestic copper and the largest drill campaign in the company's history about to test that target, the year ahead sets up as the one where the porphyry thesis actually gets drilled.

For the full program details, see the company's May 12, 2026 news release on its website, and Jan Luneburg's recent post on X is worth opening for his read.

Posted on behalf of Silverco Mining Ltd. - Silver took a hard hit today, down close to 7% to around US$66 an ounce, but the metal has still had a strong year, and the more durable story for a near-term restart is how many ounces sit right where it is about to mine. That is where Silverco (TSXV: SICO, OTCQB: SICOF) has its rigs pointed at the 100%-owned Cusi mine in Chihuahua, Mexico.

Where Things Stand
- Producer plus restart: La Negra in Querétaro is producing at roughly 55% of its 2,500 tpd capacity, while Cusi is the near-term restart
- Cusi is a permitted, past-producing silver-lead-zinc-gold mine with a 1,200 tpd mill on a 16,073-hectare property
- Eric Sprott holds 10%+ of the company
- About US$56.2M in cash at the end of Q1 2026 to fund the work

Drilling Inside the Cusi Footprint
- 30,000 m fully funded 2026 program, split 10,000 m underground and 20,000 m surface
- These are the first underground holes Silverco has drilled at Promontorio, the first of three planned mining zones (the property saw earlier drilling under Sierra), after dewatering and rehabilitation were completed in Q1 2026
- The aim is to confirm and add mineralization inside the first-year mine-plan footprint
- Current Cusi resource per the December 2025 MRE news release: 4.89 Mt at 262 g/t AgEq (41.2 Moz AgEq) measured and indicated, plus 4.07 Mt at 243 g/t AgEq (31.8 Moz AgEq) inferred, estimated by SGS Geological Services
- The first four holes returned 1,712 g/t AgEq over 1.4 m, 303 g/t AgEq over 8.3 m, and 428 g/t AgEq over 1.1 m (June 16, 2026 news release)

The Catalyst Sequence
- Underground contractors mobilizing by the end of Q2 2026, with development beginning in the coming weeks (company-stated, June 16 NR)
- Initial concentrate production targeted for late 2026
- Drill results to feed a planned Cusi resource update in H1 2027

For context, Silverco announced PEA results for the Cusi restart on April 13, 2026 (see that dated news release on the company's site).

With a fully funded drill program turning, a restart run-up underway, and a resource update on deck for early 2027, Silverco has lined up a steady run of catalysts, and every meter drilled inside the mine plan now is a chance to grow the ounce count right where production is set to begin.

For the full June 16 results, see Silverco's news release on the company website.

Posted on behalf of Mayfair Gold Corp. - Today's news release reports final results from the tight-spaced grade control drilling program at the 100%-controlled Fenn-Gib gold project in Ontario's Timmins district, and the headline is straightforward: the early, high-grade years of the mine plan look real.

What The Program Tested
- Tight-spaced grade control drilling over the Stage 1 starter pit area, designed to validate reserve continuity and refine ore-shape, dilution and ore-loss assumptions.
- Tested roughly 1.0M tonnes of probable reserves from the 2026 PFS, about 25% of the Phase 1 planned design.

The Results
- At a 0.8 g/t gold cut-off, the grade control model returned a similar grade to the reserve model, with approximately 2% more contained metal.
- For material above 3.0 g/t gold, the grade control model outlined 28% more tonnes at 7% higher grade.
- CEO Drew Anwyll said the work confirms the reserve estimate is an accurate representation of the orebody, with strong predictability between model and field.

Why It Matters
- The high-grade material scheduled for the early years is present and can be delivered as modeled, with potential to strengthen the early production profile.
- Better confidence in early cash flow supports upcoming project financing discussions.

The Backdrop
- Fenn-Gib hosts a 4.3 Moz Indicated resource (181.3 Mt at 0.74 g/t). The PFS mines a higher-grade 1.04 Moz near-surface probable reserve (25.1 Mt at 1.29 g/t), leaving roughly 3.3 Moz of optionality outside the plan (see MFG's Jan 8, 2026 PFS news release).
- The 2026 PFS averages 71,336 oz/yr at 1.47 g/t over years 1 to 6, AISC US$1,171/oz. Base case at US$3,100/oz: NPV C$652M, 24% IRR, 2.7-yr payback. Spot case at US$4,450/oz: NPV C$1.37B, 38% IRR (see MFG's Jan 8, 2026 PFS news release).
- For context, gold is trading around US$4,250/oz today, still well above that US$3,100 base case.

The starter pit is exactly where a developer wants positive reconciliation, and confirming it here de-risks the front-loaded cash flow that anchors the build case. With construction targeted for 2028 and production for 2030, results like this set up the financing conversations that come next. For the specifics, see the company's June 18 news release on their website.

Posted on behalf of Minaurum Silver Inc. - Minaurum Silver (Ticker: MGG.v or MMRGF for US investors) is worth a look through the lens of why silver stays tight. It is less a demand story than a supply one, and that is where a genuine new discovery starts to matter.

The Supply Side Can't Just Respond
- Silver is heading into a sixth straight year of structural deficit, with 762 million troy ounces drawn from stocks since 2021, per the World Silver Survey 2026 (Silver Institute / Metals Focus, April 15, 2026).
- Why it persists: most silver is mined as a byproduct of gold, copper, and zinc operations, so higher silver prices don't automatically pull more silver out of the ground.
- That puts a premium on real, new primary silver, which is exactly what is hard to find.

A Rare Primary Silver Discovery
- Minaurum's wholly owned Alamos project in Sonora, Mexico is described by the company as the only recent permitted silver discovery in Mexico.
- Initial inferred resource of 5.37 Mt at Alamos, defined across portions of just three of the 26 identified vein zones (see Jan 28, 2026 MRE news), grading 202 g/t silver, 0.21 g/t gold, 0.43% copper, 0.97% lead, and 2.01% zinc, or 320 g/t AgEq for 55.2 Moz AgEq.
- Contained metal: 34.8 Moz silver, 35,640 oz gold, 51 Mlb copper, 115 Mlb lead, and 238 Mlb zinc.
- Each of the vein zones included remains open for expansion.

Drilling Toward the Catalyst
- A fully funded 50,000-metre resource expansion program is underway with the drill fleet expanded to six rigs, positioning Minaurum to deliver an updated mineral resource estimate in the second half of 2026.
- Recent step-out work at Europa Sur (hole AL26-196) returned 3.20 m of 882 g/t AgEq, made up of 453 g/t silver, 1.19 g/t gold, 2.29% copper, 1.50% lead, and 1.99% zinc (see May 27, 2026 NR).
- That interval included 0.95 m of 2,423 g/t AgEq, made up of 1,266 g/t silver, 3.08 g/t gold, 8.01% copper, 4.17% lead, and 4.96% zinc.
- This sits beyond the area captured in the current resource, with the company noting Europa Sur's higher gold and copper values point to possible higher-temperature, feeder-zone mineralization.

With the metal's supply side structurally rigid and the drill bit pushing high-grade silver past the current outline, the H2 2026 update sets up a fresh read on how much of those 26 veins Minaurum can put on the books.

Posted on behalf of Miivo Holdings Corp - Two corporate moves over the past week tightened up the structure behind this revenue-stage AI SaaS story, so here is the rundown.

*Tandem Acquisition Closed*
Miivo completed its acquisition of Tandem Partners, a Dubai-based advisory firm previously contracted to provide CEO and CFO services to the company, in a deal valued at C$1.25 million
 (June 9, 2026 NR).

Total consideration was CAD$1,250,000, of which one-third is payable in cash and two-thirds in common shares; at closing the company paid $208,333.33 in cash and issued 694,444 common shares at a deemed price of $0.60.

 
Tandem had historically provided CEO and CFO services and played a pivotal role in the product development of Miivo's flagship AI CFO solution.
 It is now a wholly-owned subsidiary.

• Worth being clear about: this was a related-party deal.

 

Tandem is owned by Alexander Damouni, the CEO, Rabih Brair, the CFO, and one non-principal.
 
The company said no change of control occurred as a result of the transaction.

*Proposed Rebrand to Miivo AI*
The board has approved a proposed name change to Miivo AI Inc., which the company said better reflects its strategic focus on artificial intelligence technologies and solutions
 (June 12, 2026 NR).

The trading symbol "MIVO" is expected to remain unchanged, subject to TSXV approval.

CFO Rabih Brair described the move as a further step in the transition from an investment issuer to a technology company with a clear AI mandate.

*The Business Behind It*

• Revenue-stage B2B SaaS with roughly 3,000 users globally.

Sales Leads launched May 6, 2026, a standalone, self-serve AI product for small and mid-market B2B lead generation, alongside the Business Intelligence dashboard. Customer Insights is flagged as coming soon, not yet live.

Miivo said additional products are currently in testing and expected to be released over the coming months.

Bringing the leadership team fully in-house and putting AI in the corporate name are structural moves, but they consolidate the operating team and sharpen the identity just as the product suite widens. For a small, thinly traded name that is still building its investor following, that sets up a cleaner story to tell.

Posted on behalf of Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. - Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (Ticker: SM.v or SMDRF for US investors) recently cleared a key hurdle in its push from a single-mine producer toward a multi-asset silver and gold operator in Mexico: the country's antitrust agency, COFECE, has approved its planned acquisition of the Del Toro Mine.

The Regulatory Green Light
- COFECE (Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica) approved the planned Del Toro acquisition.
- A key regulatory milestone that moves the company closer to closing the deal.
- Del Toro sits in the Chalchihuites District of Zacatecas, Mexico.
- It would become Sierra Madre's second production-ready asset.

What Del Toro Brings
A fully permitted, past-producing underground silver-gold-lead operation that previously ran from 2013 to 2019. On the ground it includes:
- Three underground mining centres
- More than 62.5 km of underground development
- A processing facility with total milling capacity of 3,000 tonnes per day
- Sulphide and oxide flotation circuits
- A dry stack tailings storage facility

How It Fits the Growth Plan
- La Guitarra restarted commercial production in January 2025, and a two-stage expansion there is expected to more than double processing throughput by mid-2027.
- Del Toro's restart process is currently slated to begin mid-2027, with first production targeted for mid-2028.
- On closing, Sierra Madre would own both the producing La Guitarra mine and Del Toro.

With antitrust approval now in hand, the road to completing the acquisition is clearer, and a permitted second mill gives Sierra Madre room to evolve from a single producing operation into a multi-mine silver and gold producer over the next few years.
