Dr. Thomas Mumford, President of Scottie Resources (TSX.V:SCOT – OTCQB:SCTSF),  joins me to review the key takeaways from the Bulk Sample report, when compared with expectations from the October 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).   Additionally, we get an update on the ongoing ore-sorting studies, what was learned from this year’s drill program, the preparation for the largest drill program to date in 2026, and the Feasibility Study workstreams underway at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.   The recent PEA outlined a robust Direct-Ship Ore (“DSO”) development scenario for the Scottie Gold Mine Project, with strong economics and leverage to the current gold price environment, and additional upside potential through local toll milling.  The DSO process was successfully demonstrated during this trial mining and Bulk Sample, which was mined at the Bend Vein pit at the Scottie Gold Mine Project, then mucked, visually sorted, and crushed over the 2025 summer season. The transportation of this material was completed moving around 100 truckloads of material down the Granduc road to the Stewart bulk shipping facility without any concerns or challenges, and it is going to be shipped over to Ocean Partners imminently.   Highlights: An estimated 4,588 wet tonnes have been prepared for export to an Ocean Partners facility in Taiwan with better-than-expected average preliminary assays of 15.89 g/t gold and 42.28 g/t silver Per the Company's agreement with Ocean Partners, a 90% upfront payment is to be received five days after sailing at a gold price of US$4100/oz and silver price of US$49.50/oz Vessel has been booked and is expected to be loaded between December 10th and 12th 2025 The final 10% payment will reconcile any difference between estimated and final ounces and will be priced based on metal values at the time grades are finalized and agreed upon.  It is estimated that gold sold will generate a net profit of ~CAD$9Million.   Thomas outlines that the company plans to move straight into work streams for a Feasibility Study (FS), with actual cost estimates and more detailed economics, as the next major economic study to be undertaken.  The FS is slated to take about 8-10 months after all the 2025 drill results from the 27,309 meter program are in hand and integrated into their resource model.   We got into the resource assumptions used in the PEA and Thomas outlined how these resources are going to expand now that 4 diamond drill rigs were turning this year in the largest exploration program to date, across different parts of the high-priority Blueberry Contact Zone, and around the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine. A key initiative was infilling areas with tighter spacing, focused on upgrading the resources from inferred to indicated categories at the Blueberry Contact Zone. However many of the holes also went deeper, doing some true exploration work with a focus on expanding the potential open pit and upper portions of the underground resources at both Blueberry and Scottie areas.   Wrapping up we discussed the preparations for the largest drill program to date for 2026, the various Feasibility Study workstreams, and the financial strength of the company which is fully-funded for all these initiatives.     If you have any questions for Thomas regarding Scottie Resources, then please email them in to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Scottie Resources at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Scottie Resources   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad’s resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joins us to review the latest batch of drill assays announced December 10th, returning the broadest gold mineralization intercepted to date, from the ongoing Phase V exploration program.  These holes were testing for the potential of porphyry mineralization at dept at the Oculto East area of their wholly-owned Diablillos property in Salta Province, Argentina.     John reviews the three latest drill holes from the ongoing Phase V exploration program and that hole # DDH 25-085 at Oculto East intersected a broad 274.0 metre ("m") interval grading 0.60 g/t gold, including a higher-grade 23.0m grading 2.83 g/t gold, together with copper and molybdenum mineralization at depth. This is the deepest drill hole completed to date at Oculto, and it successfully tested a major structural-intrusive corridor extending beneath Oculto East, intersecting pervasive silicification, brecciation, and advanced argillic-silicic alteration interpreted to be related to a larger intrusive at depth. The deeper copper-molybdenum-gold mineralization is characteristic of fertile porphyry environments, and the alteration encountered is consistent with the upper portions of a significant intrusive center of well-developed porphyry systems. These features reinforces the scale, strength, and multi-phase nature of the Diablillos mineralizing system, and clear geological evidence of a vertically extensive system. These results highlight substantial additional exploration potential across the property, which will be followed up on in a Phase 6 drill program.   Drilling continues to extend oxide-hosted gold mineralization well beyond the current conceptual open pit, and this deeper drilling provides further support for a significant porphyry system underlying Oculto. The Phase V drill program remains on track for completion before year-end. To date, 60 holes have been drilled as part of the program and the final six holes will be completed before year-end. John reminds listeners that a deep drill hole was recently completed at the Cerro Viejo porphyry target, located approximately 4 kilometres northeast of Oculto, and assay results are expected shortly.   The Company plans to commence a Phase VI drill program totaling approximately 15,000 metres in January 2026, focusing on Mineral Resource expansion, select deeper porphyry-related targets, and continued step-outs across the Oculto-JAC mineralized cluster. Further details will be provided early in the New Year.   An updated Mineral Resource estimate, incorporating all Phase V drilling, remains scheduled for H1/2026. This estimate will be used for an updated Mineral Reserve and mine plan that will underpin the ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) that will be completed in the same time frame. These workstreams are all happening in tandem with work towards permits which are expected to be received around that same time next year.  Execution on these key catalysts will be the trigger for a construction decision next year.   Wrapping up John reiterates why the limited RIGI laws are so economically advantageous to the Company, relaxing currency controls, reducing export duties to 0% over a couple years, and reducing taxation over a 30 year period.    We also review the positive business and permitting tailwinds in place in Argentina as a jurisdiction for mining.     If you have any follow up questions for John regarding at AbraSilver, then please email them into us at Fleck@kereport.com  at  Shad@kereport.com .     In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of AbraSilver Resource Corp at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell more shares at any time.   Click here to visit the AbraSilver website and read over the most recent news releases.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad’s resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.
