Scorpio Gold Corp. CEO Zayn Kalyan explains the company’s new Nasdaq ADR listing (ticker SGLD) and unusual first-day trading volatility, which he attributes to limited initial ADR supply and possible third-party arbitrage, while noting liquidity has improved. He says Scorpio is undervalued on a per-ounce basis and that the market is missing the project’s district-scale potential at Manhattan in Nevada: the team has focused on a 2 km strike area within a larger 8.5 km package with past-producing mines and five historic resources, located about 10 miles from a Kinross-operated fifteen-million-ounce Round Mountain mine. The company is drilling toward a targeted 2026 two-million-ounce resource update, continues with two drills, and has launched a ~$600,000, 32-hole sonic drilling and metallurgy program to evaluate reprocessing historic leach pad/waste/stockpile material and possible toll milling. Scorpio completed a C$10.8M no-warrant financing at C$0.25 and has ~C$8M in treasury. 00:00 Intro 00:31 Nasdaq Debut Volatility 01:11 US Listing Strategy 04:54 What Market Misprices 05:46 District Scale Potential 08:12 Two-Million-Ounce Goal 09:14 Reprocessing and Toll Milling 12:15 Sonic Drilling Costs Timeline 12:59 Why Sell the Mill? 14:05 Financing and Cash Position 15:46 Wrap Up and Ticker TSX.V: SGLD -- NASDAQ: SGLD www.ScorpioGold.com Press Release discussed: https://scorpiogold.com/scorpio-gold-announces-sonic-drilling-and-metallurgical-program-to-evaluate-reprocessing-opportunity-at-manhattan/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Scorpio Gold Corp. pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

In this episode, John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate Corp. breaks down First Phosphate's September 16, 2026 announcement that it has received a Letter of Support from Swiss Export Risk Insurance (SERV) for approximately USD 212.5 million to help fund Swiss machinery, equipment, goods, and services for its igneous phosphate mine and processing facility in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Québec. Per the company’s PEA, First Phosphate's total capital cost for the mine build is $675 million CAD, or approximately $490 million USD, a figure that already incorporates a 20% contingency. Of that total, two non-dilutive financing sources are currently in play: EIFO (Denmark) at €170 million, or roughly $195 million USD, and SERV (Switzerland) at $212.5 million USD. Combined, these two sources total approximately $410 million USD, covering about 85% of the project's $490 million USD capex requirement. That would leave only around $80 million USD to be funded through equity. If the financing comes together as outlined, John says it would be "extremely non-dilutive," creating what he describes as "a real torque on the stock" by sharply limiting shareholder dilution going forward.

Analyst Joe Mazumdar of Exploration Insights breaks down Barrick and Newmont’s Nevada Gold Mines joint-venture agreement and Barrick’s proposed spinout, focusing on the high-grade Fourmile discovery, its valuation discount, and synergies from using existing Nevada infrastructure and permitted autoclave capacity via Goldrush. He discusses how geopolitical risk drives valuation discounts and how companies use dividends/buybacks, noting majors returned about 30% of first-half 2026 revenue to shareholders, concentrated among the top five. Mazumdar reviews Seabridge’s KSM potential permitting setback tied to First Nations consultation and broader implications. He outlines a preferred royalty strategy using Orogen Royalties as an example and stresses judging management on per-share value and financing discipline. The conversation covers Canada’s proposed $1T investment plan, US Dept of War’s Trilogy Metals investment tied to the Ambler Road, Talamore’s Coffee Project financing versus sharply higher capex, and Mazumdar’s “fatal flaw” due diligence approach, including site visits and jurisdictional risk. 00:00 Show Intro and Guest 00:25 Nevada JV Deal Breakdown 02:54 Four Mile Value and Synergies 06:40 Geology of Four Mile 08:02 Geopolitical Discount and Spinout 11:06 Dividends Buybacks and Growth 14:01 Seabridge KSM Permitting Risk 19:10 Royalty Winners Origin Case 24:46 Prospect Generators and Dilution 27:04 Smart Capital Raises 28:10 Track Record Signals 30:10 Flow Through Pitfalls 31:32 Per Share Value Math 32:38 Canada Trillion Plan 33:56 Government Funding Debate 37:12 Trilogy Defense Deal 39:06 Ambler Road Reality 41:31 Coffee Capex Breakdown 44:45 Hunting Fatal Flaws 48:29 Site Visits Independence Joe Mazumdar’s website: https://www.explorationinsights.com/ Follow Joe on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoeMazumdar Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Contango Silver & Gold ($CTGO) CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse explains that the company is now an “execution story,” targeting growth from ~60,000 gold-equivalent ounces to ~200,000 ounces per year plus 5 million ounces of silver annually in five years. He updates the producing Manh Choh Peak Gold JV with Kinross, noting 2026 is expected to be a stronger production year after a pit transition, with costs elevated in the first half and an added oxygen plant improving CIL performance. He outlines the direct ship ore (DSO) strategy, progress and permitting at Lucky Shot and Johnson Tract (FAST-41), Kitsault Valley drilling and resource work, plans to pursue a mill, current balance sheet, and emphasizes leverage to the gold price on a per-share basis as Contango only 33 million shares outstanding. 00:00 Intro 01:11 Manh Choh Production Update 02:02 Costs and Processing Improvements 04:09 Reserves and Expansion Upside 06:37 Direct Ship Ore Explained 07:57 Lucky Shot DSO Criteria 09:27 Lucky Shot Resource and Permits 11:43 Johnson Tract and FAST 41 14:11 Timeline and Mill Strategy 17:44 Permitting Risks and Tailings 22:40 Kitsault Valley Silver Growth 26:03 Balance Sheet and Capital Plan 28:41 How to Value Contango Press Release Discussed: https://contangoore.com/contango-silver-gold-provides-project-updates-2/ https://contangoore.com/ NYSE & TSX: $CTGO Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Contango pays MSE a United States dollar seven thousand per month coverage fee.

Rick Rule recaps a record-breaking Rule Investment Symposium and previews next year's shift from "Living Legends" to "Next Legends," then digs into the portfolio discipline lesson behind his "Amalgamated Aardvark" story — limiting stock ownership to the hours you actually spend studying them. He explains how he uses sentiment (like his contrarian silver buy) as an investing tool, why newsletter writers have lost sway over an increasingly institutional junior market even as free education still builds trust and sells "branded conclusions," and why the newest bull-market entrants tend to be the most arrogant. He also unveils "Pitch Rick," a $5,000 paid-pitch product with real reputational stakes; recounts cutting business ties with an antisemitic promoter at his mentors' request; breaks down why sensible junior mining mergers (like G2 Goldfields/G Mining) get done while others stall on management self-interest; walks through the prospect generator model via David Lowell's Arequipa and Francisco Gold; explains his long-term stake in Ross Beaty's Lumina Metals despite skipping the IPO; and closes by explaining why deep sea mining doesn't yet offer enough precedent to build a defensible valuation model. Furthermore, Rick explains why “occasional failures are the price that you pay for outstanding wins”, using Robert Friedland’s early failures as the case study examples. Notable Quotes: •"Price information is of no use unless you have an opinion as to value. Money is made on the delta between value and price." •"The most arrogant will be the least knowledgeable, which is to say the new punter." •"Occasional failures are the price that you pay for outstanding wins." 00:00 Intro 00:36 Symposium Highlights 04:19 Next Year Plans 06:41 Too Many Stocks 10:32 Reading Sentiment 13:33 Newsletters and Media 16:16 Free Education Branding 19:40 Arrogance in Bull Markets 24:06 Pitch Rick Concept 27:09 Dealing With Bad Actors 30:39 Lumina Metals Take 32:42 Why M&A Fails 36:51 Prospect Generator Bets 40:53 Deep Sea Mining View 43:24 Offers and Wrap Up If you would like Rick to review your mining stock portfolio reach out to him at: https://ruleinvestmentmedia.com/ Rule Investment Media YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RuleInvestmentMedia Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

David Erfle, the Junior Miner Junky, believes that $10,000/oz gold and $300/oz silver are now conservative forecasts. After the recent Treasury actions and messaging from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, Erfle says, “the sky’s the limit as far as gold and silver prices are concerned from here.” David shares his current metals and mining stock forecasts in this MSE episode. Specific discussion topics include miner performance (majors outperforming juniors), why early-stage juniors lag, red flags like CEOs running multiple companies, when project diversification is positive, how financing quality depends on capital source, seasonality/tax-loss selling, and disciplined accumulation and sell strategies in volatile mining stocks. 00:00 Intro 00:31 Jackson Hole Fallout 02:58 Fed Trapped by Debt 05:10 Ponzi Confidence Game 06:04 Gold Bottom and Breakout 07:21 2008 Analog to 2029 08:59 Miners Lag and Lead 10:31 Junior Picks and Stages 12:20 Management Red Flags 13:51 Project Diversification 18:01 Financing Timing Tips 20:05 Bear Market Accumulation 22:04 Sell Strategy Rules 24:10 Seasonality Tax Loss David’s website: https://juniorminerjunky.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.
