The KE Report

Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV: SCZ) (OTCQB: SCZMF), joins me to focus on the growth strategy at the development-stage Soracaya Project, as well as the exploration upside and expansion potential around the Bolivar, Porco, and Zimapan Mines. Santacruz Silver operates 5 mines, 3 mills, and an ore feed-sourcing and metals trading business in Bolivia, along with 1 mine in Mexico, as an emerging mid-tier silver and base metals producer.   We kick things off with a review of the news out October 7th which announced the initiation of development activities and the pursuit of full production permitting at their wholly-owned Soracaya Project; located in the Potosí Department, Bolivia. These activities mark a key step toward advancing the Project to a production decision. With the preliminary mine plan in place and the permitting process underway, Soracaya is emerging as a cornerstone growth project for Santacruz Silver in Bolivia.   Soracaya is a high-grade, silver-rich project, featuring mineralization along reactivated faults with replacement and brecciated sulphides, geological characteristics typical of some of the world's most productive silver deposits. Since 1999, more than 29.6 km of drilling across 90+ holes has provided extensive geological data, supporting robust resource modeling and preliminary mine planning.     Additionally, Glencore already put in the decline to access the high-grade veins, so there are some distinct brownfield site infrastructure advantages already in place. An internal study was completed by Glencore with an estimated capex of ~US$40MM for construction of a processing plant and tailings facility. Mine plan today envisions a roughly 12-year mine life with the idea to process about 850-1000 tonnes per day of material through the proposed mill.  Arturo outlined that Soracaya’s high-grade resource, strategic location in Potosí, and synergies with existing operations and the teams experience as underground miners give them confidence in its ability to deliver long-term value for shareholders and stakeholders alike.   We also discuss the permitting process, along with the regional Potosí District and mining history, as well as the national election and constructive political developments inside of Bolivia.   Their team is now currently increasing exploration and development work around the Bolivar and Porco Mines in Bolivia, to expand resources and extend mine life. Arturo reiterated their philosophy of constantly exploring at each mine to reinvest in the future growth of the company.   Transitioning over to Mexico, we discussed the higher-grade 960 Level at the Zimapan Mine starting to contribute, and how this well-endowed mineralized zone will continue growing in their Q4 production profile from Zimapan for the balance of this year and for many years into the future.   Arturo also highlighted that with the strength of the balance sheet, with the final 2 payments to Glencore completed in September, and robust incoming revenues at these higher underlying metals prices.   This gives them the optionality to review potential merger or acquisition assets if they are accretive and if their team can add value to those projects.     If you have any follow up questions for Arturo regarding Santacruz Silver, then please email them to me Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Santacruz Silver 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 Santacruz Silver 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.

Gold and silver remain in strong uptrends despite last week’s sharp pullback. Gold is still up ~50% YTD, silver over 60%, and miners (GDX, GDXJ, SIL, SILJ) continue to surge.  Craig Hemke, founder and editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to explain why last week’s volatility was typical bull-market action - not the end of the move. Key Topics Options expiry shakeout: Expiring calls triggered forced selling and sharp, short-term pressure. Silver above $50: After decades, silver’s sustained breakout signals a new phase; holding that level could ignite more CTA and fund buying. Backwardation insight: Spot silver trading above futures reflects institutional supply tightness in London, not a retail shortage. Miners’ earnings torque: With record prices and lower costs, producers and developers remain undervalued heading into Q3 results. Investor roadmap: Expect a brief consolidation after earnings before the next leg higher.   Visit Craig’s website – TF Metals Report: https://www.tfmetalsreport.com/   ---------------- For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: https://kereport.substack.com/ 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.

Keith Bodnarchuk, President and CEO, and Andy Carmichael, VP of Exploration of Cosa Resources Corp. (TSXV: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF) (FSE: SSKU), both join me to review the news released on October 14th which announced the identification of multiple high priority follow up drill targets at the Darby Project.  Darby is a joint venture (JV) between Cosa and Denison Mines Corp. (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN) and is located 10 kilometres west of Cameco’s Cigar Lake Mine in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Cosa is the project operator and holds a 70% interest with Denison holding a 30% interest.   Keith starts us up highlighting the prospective geology and historic work that made the Darby Project a vital component of the JV transaction with Denison. The recent identification of new drill targets as a results further analysis from the exploration team supports Cosa’s thesis that Darby is a mature, discovery-ready project that will receive drilling in the year to come.   The identification of highly prospective drill ready targets came as a result of extensive historical drill core and data review at the Delta and Charlie trends by Cosa’s Chairman Steve Blower and VP Exploration Andy Carmichael, as they relogged all historical Darby drill holes in June of this year. Their work confirmed desktop interpretations and generated immediate follow up targets.   When the team at Cosa reviewed the historic work by prior operators, it interpreted that of 31 drill holes on the Property targeting conductive anomalies only 13 (42%) explained their target and only six (19%) were effective evaluations of the targeted area, leaving over 80% of the Projects’ 40 kilometres of conductive strike length untested. Multiple historical drill holes intersected features suggesting proximity to uranium mineralization – warranting direct follow-up drilling in the future.   Andy mentioned that with a more experienced scientific understanding and framework today, and by applying the same target identification approach that led them to discover the Hurricane Deposit in 2018, that they are very encouraged by the historical data and drill core. Coincident alteration, illite, and chlorite plus broad zones of anomalous uranium in the lower sandstone are strong indicators of a uranium bearing system in the eastern Athabasca including at the nearby Cigar Lake mine.   The Company will begin the approaching 2026 drilling season with highly prospective follow up targets at both Darby and Murphy Lake North. Keith mentioned that they are looking forward to finalizing drilling plans and budgets their joint venture partner and largest shareholder, Denison Mines, and discussed the benefit of their continued guidance and support on these exploration initiatives.     If you have any questions for Keith or Andy regarding Cosa Resources, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.     Click here to follow the most recent news from Cosa Resources   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: https://kereport.substack.com/ 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.

This week’s Weekend Show dives into the blistering rallies across gold and silver. First, Richard “Doc” Postma lays out why he still thinks we’re in the early innings of a secular bull despite extreme readings on the charts. Then Jeff Christian explains the mechanics behind silver’s breakout - what’s real, what’s hype, and what it means for investors as speculative flows collide with shifting macro risks. Segment 1 & 2 - Richard Postma, a.k.a. “Doc,” a longtime technical analyst and market commentator, who shares why he believes the gold and silver bull market is still in its early innings - highlighting record highs, strong technical momentum, supply deficits, and undervalued producers - while also noting his portfolio strategy across miners and his growing interest in oil and gas opportunities. Segment 3 and 4 - Jeff Christian, Managing Partner at CPM Group, explains that the sharp rallies in silver (back over $50) and gold (near $4,300) are being driven primarily by speculative/momentum buying amid rising political risks - rather than a “silver squeeze” - with temporary London tightness and a reversed NY-London arbitrage contributing at the margins. He adds that central-bank buying has cooled, CoT positioning isn’t extreme, refineries are backed up converting investor bars, and while prices look overheated short term, longer-term support comes from a fraught global political and economic backdrop.

In this week’s Daily Editorial, Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global Forex and editor of Marc to Market, returns to break down a whirlwind end to the week: a sharp pullback in rare earth and precious metals equities, renewed US-China friction, and fresh jitters around US regional banks. He also shares practical portfolio tactics for navigating vertical moves and volatility shocks. What we cover Metals selloff after spike highs: Why rare earth and gold/silver equities gave back gains into week’s end, and how sentiment, rate-cut odds, and “deal optimism” around US-China fed profit-taking. Strategic reality check on rare earths: Regardless of near-term politics, the US/EU/Japan must rebuild REE processing capacity - an industrial project measured in years, not quarters. Regional banks back in the headlines: What Zions and Western Alliance signal about CRE stress, the refinancing wall into year-end, and why KRE can bounce even while the group remains in a broader drawdown. Dollar & rates link: Marc’s framework for the USD tracking US yields lower if the Fed continues cutting, plus how “dollar-block” FX (CAD/AUD/NZD) and safe havens (CHF) fit into the macro picture.

In this pre-market Daily Editorial, we welcome back Joel Elconin, co-host of the Pre-Market Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network. Joel takes a step back from the recent surge in gold and silver to focus on the broader U.S. equity markets - where rising volatility and falling yields are hinting at a potential shift beneath the surface. Key Discussion Points: Rising VIX and market nerves - The VIX has climbed above 20, signaling growing unease even as indexes remain flat. Joel explains why this feels more like a “nervous market” than the start of a full correction. Rates are dropping - good or bad? - With the 10-year Treasury near yearly lows, Joel questions whether falling yields reflect optimism or an early warning of slower growth ahead. Sector rotation themes - Momentum in the Magnificent Seven is fading, while small-caps (IWM) and biotech (XBI) show strength. Joel outlines where money may be rotating and how interest rate sensitivity is driving trades. Earnings season tone - Early results from banks and airlines show mixed signals. Joel highlights how upcoming mega-cap tech earnings will be key to gauging market sentiment and valuations. AI and spending boom - Massive corporate investment in AI continues to prop up GDP numbers, but Joel questions sustainability - suggesting investors look instead at infrastructure and data-center beneficiaries. Opportunities abroad and in lagging sectors - From European ETFs (EFA) to housing and biotech, Joel identifies areas that may offer better entry points as U.S. markets consolidate. Joel also shares how he’s navigating this environment - why he sees the market as “nervous, not broken,” and what signals would confirm a deeper shift in sentiment.   Click here to visit Joel’s PreMarket Prep website: https://www.premarketprep.com/ Click here to visit the Stock Trader Network: https://www.stocktradernetwork.com/   ----------- For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: https://kereport.substack.com/ 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.
