Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO, commented, “We are well-financed and in the early stages of our budgeted 30-hole core drill program (49 holes permitted), with eight holes completed and assays back from our first five holes. We are highly encouraged with the early indications of the mineralized porphyry/skarn system in hole 4 on the edge of our Hojota target vectoring toward stronger mineralization, and the technical team advancing at a great pace. The efforts to expand our permits to allow for additional holes and drill rigs reflect our increased confidence in the system and multiple targets, as we look forward to receiving the results of the next holes and continuing to drill the target-rich skarn and porphyry system. This is just the beginning of an opportunity that could provide multiple significant copper and gold targets and discoveries.” Sponsor: https://coppernicometals.com/ Press Release discussed: https://coppernicometals.com/news-media/news-releases/coppernico-drills-19-meters-of-0.50-copper-in-first-5-holes-and-applies-for-additional-permits-at-sombrero/ TSX:COPR Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Coppernico Metals is an MSE sponsor.

“Since acquiring 100% ownership of the Éléonore South joint venture earlier this year from Newmont, the Éléonore style anomaly has been at the top of our prospective list,” commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. “Given the size, scale, and proximity to Newmont’s Éléonore Mine, we believe any success could create potential upside for investors and thus we are excited to commence drilling in Q1 of 2025.” Fury Gold Mines has finalized drill targeting after completing a surficial geochemical survey at the Éléonore South gold project located in the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region of Quebec. Drilling will target robust geochemical gold anomalies within the same sedimentary rock package that hosts Newmont’s Éléonore Mine. The completed biogeochemical sampling survey covered an interpreted fold nose within the Low Formation sediments where an orientation level study identified a large-scale gold anomaly in a similar geological, geophysical, and structural setting to that of the nearby Éléonore Mine (see news release dated March 5, 2024). Six priority drill targets across over 3 kilometres of prospective folded sedimentary stratigraphy have been identified. These six targets encompass multi point gold anomalies above the 90th percentile of the data and correlate with moderate pathfinder elemental anomalies, most notably arsenic which is associated with gold mineralization at the Éléonore Mine. The Company intends to mobilize crews in Q1 2025 for an initial fully funded 3,000 – 5,000 metre diamond drilling program. CEO Tim Clark and SVP Exploration Bryan Atkinson provide a company update in this MSE episode.

Pro Small-Cap Investor Mark Zaret Reveals his proven formula for resource stock 9-baggers. He recaps the investment rationale for the stock pick Tenaz Energy he shared on MSE in October 2022 when the stock was only $1.40/share. Today, it is over $13.00/share. Throughout the interview, Mark shares his approach to small cap speculating which has produced tremendous wealth for himself over the decades. Mark began investing in the early 1990’s and achieved a significant net worth by focusing on Canadian micro-cap companies, especially junior resource stocks. Success was achieved through a disciplined approach of investing primarily in early life-cycle companies with low market caps, high insider ownership, and executive boards with strong credentials. Mark is currently working at Spartan Fund Management as an analyst and strategist in the area of small and micro-cap investing.

“Despite the strong gold price environment we are in, a lot of juniors in the gold space are still really struggling…to raise money. That to me shows we are not in a crazy bull market. A crazy bull market is moose pasture in the middle of nowhere being able to raise thirty million dollars at a drop of a hat. To me that is the sell signal…we have not yet seen the generalist into this sector,” shared Dr. Adshead-Bell. She also provided commentary on the best practices for investing in the junior gold mining sector. Nicole Adshead-Bell is the Director of Cupel Advisory. She is a PhD geologist by trade and has worked in the resource sector for more than 24 years.

“Oil looks even more attractive than gold right now” says portfolio manager Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital. Tavi Costa shares that even though he expects gold over $2900/oz and silver touching over $40/oz before year-end 2024, he is even more bullish oil and possibly other non-precious metals. A year from now, Tavi sees inflation running significantly higher while the Federal Reserve refuses to rate interest rates. When this happens, metals and commodity prices will run higher, he anticipates. Tavi also reveals Crescat’s approach to portfolio allocation in the mining sector. Tavi is a Member and Portfolio Manager at Crescat Capital and has been with the firm since 2013. He is responsible for developing Crescat’s macro models as part of our thematic investment process. His research has been featured in financial publications such as Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Yahoo Finance, Real Vision, and others. Tavi is a native of São Paulo, Brazil and is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. Before joining Crescat, he worked with the underwriting of financial products and in international business at Braservice, a large logistics company in Brazil. Tavi graduated cum laude from Lindenwood University in St. Louis with a B.A. degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance and a minor in Spanish.

“Smart money is seeing the opportunity in these silver stocks, because silver has a lot of catching up to do with the gold price and because there is really not a lot of quality silver juniors out there,” says David Erfle. In this MSE episode, David Erfle also provides commentary on the gold price, the broader junior mining sector and how he is managing his portfolio. 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. 0:00 Introduction 1:04 Gold price 4:40 What would cause you to sell your gold juniors? 5:22 Smart money sees opportunity in silver stocks 12:04 “I like quality PEA-stage companies now” 16:54 Get multiple opinions 21:32 Junior miners and dumb money 29:05 Knowing went to sell junior miners 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.

Tim Kingsley, Coppernico Metals’ Vice President of Exploration, commented, “We are very encouraged by the geological features we are intersecting. The pace at which our team is gaining geological insights through drilling has been impressive, each hole is improving our model and allowing us to have greater confidence in our interpretations of geophysical signatures. The Ccascabamba Area represents a large, very active hydrothermal system, and the extent of skarn alteration and the presence of sulphide minerals in hole 4 support our exploration thesis. This, combined with the complexity of the vein systems, indicates that we are in a highly prospective zone. As we move forward, we remain committed to deploying best practices in exploration, ensuring that we meet our environmental and social responsibilities.” CEO Ivan Bebek and VP of Exploration Tim Kingsley provide an update on the Sombrero exploration program. The company is currently on hole 6 of a 30-hole planned program. Coppernico Metals is an exploration company focused on creating value for shareholders and stakeholders through the exploration and discovery of world-class copper-gold deposits in South America. The Company’s management and technical teams have a successful track record in raising capital, discovery and monetization of exploration successes. The Company is currently focused on the Sombrero project in Peru. Coppernico Metals is listed on the TSX under the ticker “COPR”.

David Erfle stated: “We’ve had the SILJ now showing relative strength to the GDXJ. GDXJ is showing relative strength to the GDX. And the miners and silver are showing relative strength to the gold price. So that is what you need to see happening; and it started to happen this week as the Fed is ready to reverse its monetary policy, which is huge.” In this MSE episode, David Erfle also provides commentary on the gold price and the broader junior mining sector. He also shared his firsthand observations from last week’s Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit where industry investors and issuers gathered together.
