Charles Funk, CEO of Heliostar Metals, joins us to take a quick break away from the Frankfurt interviews. The company published a highly anticipated resource estimate for the Ana Paula Project in Mexico, which highlights meaningful increases in both sizes and grade.

Bob Wares is a professional geologist with over 40 years’ experience in mineral exploration and development, mostly in Eastern Canada. He was one of the three original founders of Osisko Exploration/Osisko Mining Corp. and was responsible for the discovery of the Canadian Malartic bulk tonnage gold deposit. We connected in Frankfurt to talk about the dynamics of this prolonged bear market in exploration equities. We also get a quick glimpse into the latest updates from Osisko Metals.

We connected with Minera Alamos President Doug Ramshaw at the Deutsche Goldmesse conference in Frankfurt over the weekend. Doug talks about a permit amendment for the Santana Project and its existing operations. Doug talks about why the amendment is important and what it would do for optimizing the project.

This week's Thanksgiving Week long-form includes my in-depth conversation with Grant Williams. We cover a number of very different topics in this discussion. First, we talk about the challenges of the Federal Reserve dodging recessionary economic data points while battling inflation and keeping that "soft landing" thesis in tact. The clouds of the US economy are hanging low yet they are determined to be data dependent while navigating by the stars above those clouds. We also talk about a detachment of history and how a younger generation may be influenced on how they perceive the world around them. And finally, we talk about the rise of Saudi Arabia in the sports world. Is this a trend which will last and grow? Or has that push into athletic spectator dominance been overdone?

We conclude our coverage from the Zurich Precious Metals Summit with a conversation with Aftermath Silver and CEO Ralph Rushton. The company's Berenguela project has found an interesting shift into both previous metals and manganese. We spend some time talking about manganese and how it has changed the company's approach towards exploration and development.

Brad Langille of GoGold Resources joins MSD for the first time for a general introduction and update on their projects in Mexico. Brad breaks down the general strategy of development, including pushing their recent PEA for Los Ricos South into a Full Feasibility study while also continuing to explore and develop Los Ricos North.

We connect with Dr. Nicole Adshead-Bell, Independent Non-Executive Chairman of Hot Chili in this episode. We get a glimpse into Hot Chili's exploration and developments of the Costa-Fuego copper and gold project, and discussion on when in a mine life is most appropriate for a royalty financing, and the challenges and advantages of exploring for new projects in the largest copper producing country.

We connect with Craig Parry in this episode to talk all things copper and an exploration update with his company, Vizsla Copper. Craig believes that $20 copper is in front of the markets because of a large squeeze which will happen due to lower head grades, falling supply, and higher demand. Vizsla Copper also shares their latest updates on exploration and development in their BC projects and why they believe a new set of eyes will improve Woodjam.

We connect with Kit Marrs of Western Alaska Minerals. Kit travelled to Zurich straight from an important Alaska miners event. He shares some of the insights from that conference and why he believes the brightest days for Alaskan mining is in front of them. His company is also preparing for a larger 2024 drill program on the back of some geophysics data. They are also looking to publish an inaugural resource estimate.
