Newlox Gold: Unlocking the Value in Artisanal Tailings
30 Aug 2020
Artisanal mining occurs all over the world. In some jurisdictions it is seen as a dangerous blight, however, in Costa Rica the government regulates and encourages the artisanal miners in its central gold belt. The Costa Rican artisanal miners use low tech, low environmental impact, techniques to mine the rich ores of the region. Unfortunately, […]
Tocvan: Structure is Plumbing
26 Aug 2020
Having a piece of highly prospective property is a good start for a junior resource company. Tocvan Resources (TOC.CC), after Mark Smethurst, the company’s COO, looked at over 150 possible properties, found a property with high gold and silver potential at the Pilar Gold Property in the Sonora Gold District in the north-west of Mexico. Better still, […]
GR Silver: Great Drill Holes at the Plomosas Silver Project, Mexico
26 Jul 2020
The junior resource world runs on “news”. The most valuable news a company can bring to the market is drill results. Ideally, drill results which disclose good grades over broad intervals. The problem most juniors face is that drilling is expensive: hundreds of dollars a meter. And it is time-consuming as the core has to […]
Aben Resources: Looking for Size in BC’s Golden Triangle
21 Jul 2020
British Columbia’s Golden triangle, in the north west of the province, is a hugely prospective area. But, as Jim Petit of Aben Resources (V.ABN) knows all too well, it presents challenges. “This year the snow pack crushed our core shack,” said Petit. “We’re right in the coastal mountains at around 6000 feet. We see twenty […]
Tocvan Ventures: Doing it Right in Mexico
15 Jul 2020
When you have been in the junior resource company business – as a broker or an investor relations professional – you see a lot of companies which are flawed.

Millennial Lithium: Advancing in Argentina
7 Jul 2020
The world’s appetite for lithium has been hit with COVID-19 and uncertainty as to the volume of electric vehicles being sold. Which means the spot price of lithium – which is difficult to estimate in any event – has been dropping. Bad news for a lithium development company? Not at all says Farhad Abasov, Millennial […]
Cartier at Chimo: A Mine Within a Mine
21 Jun 2020
For the longest time, Cartier Resources (V.ECR) has been reporting high-grade gold from its Chimo Mine project. A couple of meters of +10 grams per ton (gpt) here and 16 gpt there.

Cartier: Bringing in the Million
12 May 2020
Cartier Resources’ (V.ECR) announcement of a revised 43-101 Resource Estimate with over one million ounces indicated and inferred at its Chimo mine in Quebec was not actually a surprise. CEO Philippe Cloutier told motherlodetv.net what the company was going to do back in February, “First off, we have just awarded to an independent firm the […]
Renforth Resources: Drilling to Production
27 Feb 2020
Junior exploration companies often struggle to tell their story to investors. Press Releases, even when they contain excellent news such as Renforth Resources (RNR.C) release on February 25th, are required to be technical and precise. That is not enough for Renforth’s CEO Nicole Brewster. In addition to the press release, Brewster puts out a set […]
Millennial Lithium: Ready to Meet the Market
23 Feb 2020
I always look forward to interviews with Millennial Lithium’s (V.ML) CEO Farhad Abasov. He’s concise, to the point and willing to talk about both the achievements and the challenges facing Millennial’s brine lithium project in Salta Province, Argentina. “Last year was a down year for the lithium market,” said Abasov. “Lithium prices were off a […]

Philippe Cloutier, CEO of Cartier Resources (V.ECR), understands that investors want a company to do what it says it is going to do.

Golden Predator: Re-imagining Yukon’s Brewery Creek Mine
10 Feb 2020
There is gold all over the Yukon. Economic gold is a whole other story. Golden Predator’s (V.GPY) Brewery Creek mine has plenty of gold, some of it quite high grade. After all, Brewery Creek was a mine run by Viceroy Resources until the price of gold plunged to less than $300 an ounce in 2002. […]

Eloro: Gold in Peru, Polymetallic Prospect in Bolivia
13 Jan 2020
Eloro (V.ELO) CEO Tom Larsen would have every right to be frustrated with South America. The company’s extremely promising La Victoria Gold/Silver Project in north central Peru has had to deal with 100 year rains and then community politics 3000 meters up in the Andes. Even with widespread community support, until a new President was […]
