Shorting S&P 500 & Staying Long Junior Miners with Pro Mining Investor David Erfle
In this interview pro mining investor David Erfle provides his commentary on the general stock market, gold and gold stocks. David is shorting the S&P 500 while going long junior miners. He says the juniors are trading as if gold is $1400 and historically oversold. David noted that even Newmont is trading like a junior mining stock and has become significantly undervalued to the point that David put some NEM in his conservative retirement account.
David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day.

Profit from Emerging Trends in Mining & Renewables with Expert Brian Dalton (Altius Minerals CEO)
Expert Brian Dalton shares insights regarding trends in mining and renewables in this episode which is guest-hosted by Brian Leni of JuniorStockReview.com. Brian Dalton is the CEO of Altius Minerals which is celebrating its 25th year as a project generation and royalty company in Canada. In this conversation with Dalton, we cover some of the most pressing issues for companies across the spectrum of the junior resource sector. Environmental permitting, how important is it for project development and where it ranks in terms of risk. Continuing with the environmental theme, nitrogen emissions have sprung up in the mainstream media with the Canadian and Netherland governments instituting restrictions. Dalton gives his view on how this may or may not affect the other 2 vital fertilizers – Phosphorus and Potassium. It is easy to put together a bullish outlook, but is there any way that the expectation falls short?
Further we discuss whether a rising interest rate environment is the perfect scenario for royalty and streaming companies to become the preferred source of capital for project development. Finally, we look at the most popular base and precious metals (copper, nickel, uranium, gold, silver, iron ore, and zinc) with Dalton giving a brief comment on his outlook for each. This is a must-listen!

Lotus Resources Confirms Kayelekera Is Low-cost, Quick Restart Uranium Operation says MD Keith Bowes
Lotus Resources’ Managing Director Keith Bowes shares regarding the just-released positive Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the Kayelekera uranium mine in this interview. Keith stated: “Having an asset with low technical risk and low restart capital, which can quickly commence production, are key characteristics that investors look for in a mining project. The results of the Restart DFS clearly put Kayelekera in this category and this provides an opportunity for the Company to leverage off the strongest fundamentals for the nuclear/uranium industry in many years. The standout features of the Restart DFS are the low capital costs and attractive operating costs, which consider the current high inflation environment, whilst also ensuring a positive legacy as we have significantly reduced our carbon footprint, in line with the Company’s ESG strategy. The initial upfront capital costs remain one of the lowest in the industry, both from a headline (US$88m) and an initial capital intensity perspective (US$37/lb annual production). This is an excellent achievement given current inflationary pressures. The number is higher than that originally announced in the Scoping Study, but includes three new items (ore sorting, grid connection and a new acid plant) which are critical for lowering our operating costs. The operating costs during steady state in the initial mining phase (i.e. before stockpile treatment commences) now sit at US$29.1/lb U3O8, well within the second quartile costs for current and planned uranium producers.”
Lotus owns 85% of the Kayelekera mine, which was acquired from Paladin Energy in the beginning of 2020. Kayelekera produced about 11Mlbs from 2009 to 2014 before being put on care and maintenance due to low uranium prices. It is anticipated that the final investment decision will be made by early 2023. Then after an estimated 15-month refurbishment period, uranium ore could be feeding the plant again by early 2024. Lotus management believes this timeline fits well with the expected uranium price boom and offers investors an attractive risk-reward investment value proposition with substantial upside.

Osino Resources’ Twin Hills Gold Project Now over 3M Ounces with CEO Heye Daun (PFS next month)
Heye Daun joins MSE to discuss Osino Resources’ recently-announced increased mineral resource of over 3M AuOz for its Twin Hills Gold Project in the Erongo Region of Namibia. The mineral resource was estimated from approximately 212,184m of diamond core and reverse circulation drilling. Drill collars were generally spaced at 35m x 35m on surface and inclined at 60°, resulting in an effective data spacing of 35m laterally and 30m on section lines.
A specific area of the Twin Hills Central resource, measuring 100m along strike and 50m across strike, was drilled at a closer spacing of 12.5m x 12.5m. This drilling was done as an orientation study to investigate the short-range variability of the deposit and possible implications on future grade control drilling configurations. In addition, the drilling provided insight into requirements for upgrading Indicated mineral resources to Measured.
Heye Daun, Osino’s President & CEO commented: “We are very pleased with the results of this updated mineral resource model which is going from strength to strength. We managed to add significant higher-grade ounces and converted almost all the previously classified Inferred resources to Indicated or Measured status. At an elevated cut-off grade of 0.9 g/t we now have more than 2moz at 1.46 g/t in the Measured & Indicated category and even at a lower cut-off of 0.3 g/t the average grade of the Measured & Indicated portion of the mineral resource increased to 1.08g/t. This has been achieved through a combination of more discrete resource modelling but also the addition of higher-grade material which was drilled over the last few months. Most of the resource growth came from Twin Hills West, but two new emerging zones of mineralization at Clouds West and Twin Hills North also contributed additional resource ounces. We expect the extra ounces and grade to make a meaningful difference to the overall project economics in the upcoming PFS and we are very excited about publishing the results of that PFS in early September.”

Fury Gold Mines Drills Multiple High-Grade Gold Zones with CEO Tim Clark & SVP Expl Bryan Atkinson
Fury Gold Mines’ CEO Tim Clark and SVP Exploration Bryan Atkinson provide an update on the recent drill results at the company’s flagship Eau Claire deposit in the James Bay Region of Quebec. Fury provided results for seven core drill holes at the Eau Claire project located in the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region of Quebec. The 2022 exploration drilling program continues to demonstrate the potential to significantly expand the deposit to the west at the Hinge Target.
Drill holes 22EC-046, 22EC-047 and 22EC-048 targeted a 150 to 200 metre (m) extension of the intercept of 3.0m of 9.36 g/t gold from drill hole 21EC-041 (see news release dated November 29, 2021). All three drill holes intercepted multiple zones of gold mineralization, with hole 22EC-048 exhibiting four zones of high grade and broad widths of more moderate grade, including 3.50m of 4.79 g/t gold, 1.00m of 14.19 g/t gold, 3.50m of 5.86 g/t gold, 1.00m of 20.6 g/t gold and 17.50m of 1.29 g/t Au (Table 1). Fury believes these intercepts represent the apex of the targeted fold hinge and reflects the deposit geometry that the technical team believes could deliver significant resource growth. The Hinge Zone drilling to date demonstrates a potential 20%, or 330m, increase to the mineralized strike length of the Eau Claire Deposit with results pending from additional drill holes located 100 metres further west of the reported intercepts.
“The recent holes represent Fury’s best exploration drilling result to date at Eau Claire and are exactly what we were hoping to see at the Hinge Target. The drill results confirm our belief that the Hinge is open for considerable growth which could impact our ounces significantly,” commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. “We are halfway through our 2022 drilling program and are very excited about the pending assay results still to come. In the following weeks and months, Fury will have a steady news flow with additional drill results from the Hinge, North Limb, and Percival Prospect. The Company is well positioned with our exploration strategy, our team in the field, and our ability to continue to leverage a strong treasury.”

Tier One Silver Receives Permit to Drill #1 Target with CEO Peter Dembicki & SVP Expl Christian Rios
In this interview, CEO Peter Dembicki and SVP Exploration Christian Rios discuss the recently received DIA drill permit. This permit allows them to initiate phase 2 drilling at the flagship Curibaya project and test the #1 target Cambaya zone. Phase I of drilling at Curibaya targeted the source of the bonanza grade silver and gold surface results and demonstrated that mineralization extends to depth. However, the best channel sample results were from the Cambaya target area, located northeast of the previously defined mineralized footprint and the phase I drill program. The Cambaya target is at a higher elevation, where less erosion has occurred, and therefore Tier One’s technical team believes that there is a larger window for potential precious metal mineralization.
In phase II of drilling the Company intends to follow-up on some of the phase I drill intercepts and additionally, the new DIA permit will allow the Company to drill the most prospective targets in the Cambaya zone. The Company is currently conducting a channel and rock sampling program to further define targets for the phase II drill program, which is also being designed to target untested copper porphyry targets that were identified in the first phase of drilling.
CEO Peter Dembicki stated: “Receiving the DIA permit is a key milestone for Tier One Silver as it will allow us to drill our highest priority silver and gold target on the Curibaya project, in addition to newly developed copper porphyry targets. Our confidence in the potential of Curibaya has continued to increase as we explore the project. We look forward to our second phase of drilling, which will commence once the results from ongoing surface sampling and geophysical programs have been received.”
Tier One Silver is focused on creating significant value for shareholders through the exploration and potential discovery of world-class silver, gold and copper deposits in southwest Peru. Tier One Silver’s main focus currently is the 100% owned Curibaya project, which consists of approximately 11,000 hectares and is located approximately 48 km north-northeast of the provincial capital, Tacna, accessible by road.

Torq Resources Initiates Follow-up Drilling at First of Its Two Significant Copper-Gold Discoveries
Torq Resources has commenced its follow-up drill program at the Margarita Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) project, located on the Coasta Coardillera belt in Chile and where the Company made a new discovery of 90 metres of 0.94% copper and 0.84 g/t gold during the first ever drill program on the project. The Company plans to drill approximately 4,000 m in its second phase of drilling along a 1 kilometre length of the Falla 13 structural corridor that exhibits clear geochemical and geophysical signatures corresponding to the mineralization encountered in drill hole 22MAR-013R.
Shawn Wallace, CEO & Chair, stated: “We are extremely excited to commence drilling at Margarita and believe we have a strong probability of significantly expanding on the impressive IOCG discovery that we recently announced. This second phase of drilling has the potential to generate pivotal results and provide dimensions for the strong mineralized system at the project.”
Michael Henrichsen, Chief Geological Officer, stated: “Our greenfields discovery at Margarita is within a 1 km long section of the Falla 13 corridor that exhibits a clear signature of geophysical and geochemical responses associated with mineralization. This provides our technical team with a great deal of confidence that we can quickly outline a large-scale copper-gold deposit in the area. In addition, our technical team has identified a number of high quality targets on the project with similar characteristics as those observed at the Falla 13 discovery, which we plan to further explore in a third phase of drilling.”
Later in 2022, Torq will also be following up on the historic discovery of 0.45% CuEq over 925.7 m at its Santa Cecilia gold-copper project, located approximately 100 km east of the city of Copiapo in northern Chile. The project is in the southern region of the world-class Maricunga belt and immediately north of the El Indio belt. It is estimated that the Maricunga belt could host up to 90 million ounces of gold endowment1. The belt is characterized by gold epithermal and gold – copper porphyry deposits that are Oligocene - Miocene in age, including world-class multi-million-ounce deposits such as Salares Norte, La Coipa, Cerro Maricunga, Marte, Lobo, La Pepa, El Volcan, Caspiche and Cerro Casale. Torq has an option to acquire 100% of the Santa Cecilia project.
