Scaling Operator Footprint and Revenue Potential

Scott Petsel, President of Metallic Minerals (TSX.V:MMG – OTCQB:MMNGF),  joins us for a comprehensive review of all the work to date and slated for the next 6-12 months at the gold alluvial claims in the Yukon, the Keno Silver Project, and the La Plata Copper-Silver-PGM Project in Colorado. 

We start off taking a deeper dive into the value proposition of the  gold and silver royalty portfolio across their alluvial mining claims in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Now in its third consecutive year of gold production, Metallic Minerals expects record royalty revenues in 2025 from its Australia Creek operations and has recently signed an agreement with an additional operator to commence test mining at its nearby Dominion Creek property. Both areas lie within the heart of the historic Klondike Goldfields, which have produced more than 20 million ounces of gold since the legendary 1898 gold rush.

The Company also holds substantial alluvial claims in the Keno Hill silver district, overlapping its high-grade Keno Silver Project, where over 16,000 ounces of alluvial gold were produced from 2015 to 2021. Exploration programs launched in September at both Australia Creek and South Keno include drilling and geophysical surveys to define new zones of recoverable native gold and silver and to advance future royalty-based production from these large-scale alluvial systems.

Next we shifted over to the Keno Silver project, where the inaugural NI-43-101 mineral resource estimate was released to the market last year. This was a key milestone for this Project which defined 18.16 million ounces of silver equivalent (inferred), over 4 deposits (Formo, Fox, Caribou and Homestake). The board is currently evaluating the exploration program for Keno Silver in the 2026 season.

Wrapping up we focused on the developing exploration strategy, at the flagship La Plata Copper-Silver Project, looking at a number of new potential porphyry target across their land package with their strategic partners at Newmont Corporation. Newmont has maintained their 9.5% strategic equity investment in Metallic Minerals due to their interest in the prospectivity for both copper and precious metals at the La Plata Project. Scott outlines that around 4,500 additional meters drilled have not yet been added into the existing 1.21-billion-pound copper and 17.6-million-ounce silver inferred mineral resource, and that the upcoming resource update will also add in resource values from gold, platinum, and palladium for the first time; which have not previously been included.  We also reviewed the growing interest in other critical minerals on the project like tellurium, scandium, lanthanum, and yttrium.
