According to the World Platinum Investment Council ("WPIC"), the global platinum market is projected to remain in deficit for multiple years.

The WPIC points to several key drivers of tightness in the platinum market.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. Waterberg Project could enter an increasingly supply-constrained market at a critical time.

A growing body of research suggests the world is entering a period of prolonged platinum scarcity, and the timing could not be more significant for Platinum Group Metals (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) . As deficits deepen, the company is advancing its large-scale Waterberg Project in South Africa, an asset that could help address what analysts describe as a structural platinum shortage with consequences across the automotive, industrial and clean energy sectors.

The global market for precious metals is at a major inflection point as the institutional frameworks underpinning its operations are undergoing fundamental restructuring. The discovery mechanisms for benchmark prices are undergoing a transformation as a result of technological advancement, strategic realignment within the system and heightened regulatory oversight. The most notable change is that the London Metal Exchange is phasing out its participation in conducting auctions for palladium and platinum next year. This is an important transition because the move has a lot of implications on trading floors, the management of investment portfolios, technology manufacturing and the auto industry, among others. The six months during which the transition will be conducted provide a compressed timeline within which technical testing, validation and other backroom processes must happen rigorously with precise coordination between the different market participants. At some point, auctions will be conducted in parallel by the exiting administrator and the new one in order to ensure that everything is going according to plan. The change is a paradigm shift that platinum and palladium ecosystem participants like Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) hope goes smoothly so that the industry isn't disrupted by any glitches.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) is the operator of the Waterberg Project, a bulk underground platinum group metals (PGM) deposit discovered by Platinum Group in 2011 and located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. The Waterberg Project is planned as a fully mechanised platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold mine, including by-product copper and nickel production, and is projected to be one of the largest and lowest cost PGM mines globally.

The project is a joint venture between Platinum Group; integrated PGM producer Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. (OTCQX: IMPUY); Japanese consortium HJ Platinum, which includes trading house Hanwa Co. and the government-backed Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC); and local empowerment partner Mnombo Wethu Consultants (Pty) Ltd. Platinum Group has an effective 50.22% interest in the Waterberg Project.

The company’s primary business objective is to advance the Waterberg Project to a development and construction decision. An update to the 2019 Definite Feasibility Study is expected in 2024.

PGMs are essential and precious metals that include platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium and ruthenium. These metals are known for their purity, high melting points and unique catalytic properties. They are utilized in a number of industrial processes, technologies and commercial applications and play a critical role in autocatalysis and pollution control in the automotive sector. The bulk of global PGMs are mined in Southern Africa and Russia.

The unique properties of PGMs are being applied to various technologies as possible solutions for more efficient energy generation and storage, which may create new demand for PGMs. The company’s battery technology initiative through Lion Battery Technologies Inc., using platinum and palladium in lithium battery technologies, represents one such new opportunity in the high-profile lithium battery research and innovation field.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. founded Lion Battery Technologies Inc. in partnership with Anglo American Platinum Ltd. (AMS: JNB) to support the use of palladium and platinum in lithium battery applications. Lion Battery has entered into an agreement with Florida International University to further advance a research program that uses platinum and palladium to unlock the potential of Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) battery chemistries.

Platinum Group is headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., and Johannesburg, South Africa.

Waterberg Project

Platinum Group’s sole material mineral property, the Waterberg Project, is presently in process with pre-construction permitting; engineering work, including road upgrade and traffic studies; finalization of power and water infrastructure design; and construction camp design.

The company’s principal product from the Waterberg Project is planned to be a PGM-bearing concentrate. The concentrate will contain economic amounts of six elements comprising platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold, copper and nickel. The company’s partner in the Waterberg Project, Impala Platinum Holdings, has acquired a right of first refusal to enter into an offtake agreement, on commercial arm’s-length terms, for the smelting and refining of mineral products from the Waterberg Project.

The Waterberg project has proven and estimated reserves of 19.5 million ounces of PGMs and gold. When fully operational, the mine is projected to produce more than 400,000 ounces of PGMs annually during the peak period of steady state production. The life of the mine is projected at 45 years.

South Africa’s PGM mining sector remains closely tied to economic developments in the global automotive industry, which in 2022 accounted for approximately 43% of the total global demand for platinum and 82% of the total global demand for palladium.

Market Opportunity

According to a report from Straits Research, a global market and business research firm, the worldwide platinum market had an estimated value of $7.72 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $11.95 billion by 2031. That represents a CAGR of 5.13% over the forecast period.

Platinum, one of the rarest of precious metals, is about 30 times scarcer than gold. It is crucial to the automotive and electronics industries and is also used to make jewelry. Stricter emissions regulations around the world have led to an increased demand for platinum to be used in catalytic converters to reduce automotive emission, the report states.

A report from Allied Market Research estimated the global palladium market at $16.3 billion in 2021 and projects the market will reach $28.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% over the period.

Palladium is also used in automotive catalytic converters for reducing emissions and in jewelry, dentistry, watchmaking, blood sugar test strips, aircraft spark plugs, surgical instruments, electrical contacts and musical instruments.

MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF).

This article has been disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining and may include paid advertising.

MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF) (FRANKFURT: 89N) has set an 8:30 a.m. CST news conference for Nov. 27, 2025, at Innovation Saskatchewan Research and Technology Park in Regina, where Saskatchewan government ministers are expected to attend. The event follows MAX Power's historic drilling of Canada's first dedicated Natural Hydrogen well at the Lawson target on the Genesis Trend. CEO Mansoor Jan, Directors Neil McMillan and Rob Norris, Chief Geoscientist Steve Halabura, Advisory Board Chairman Brent Dunlop, and PTRC President and CEO Ran Narayanasamy—who will become MAX Power's CEO in early December—will participate, with interviews available after the briefing.

To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/5YXZ4

MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF) is a Canadian mineral exploration company pioneering the development of natural hydrogen as a potential new primary energy source. As a first mover in this emerging sector, the company has assembled North America’s largest permitted land package targeting naturally occurring, emissions-free hydrogen accumulations in the earth’s subsurface.

MAX Power plans to commence Canada’s first dedicated deep drilling program for natural hydrogen in November 2025, starting on the 200-km-long Genesis Trend in southern Saskatchewan, with the goal of converting a discovery into the world’s first commercial natural hydrogen venture in 2026.

Backed by institutional partnerships and a highly experienced technical team, MAX Power continues to build a globally recognized brand in the natural hydrogen sector. Its massive land package in Saskatchewan currently comprises 1.3 million permitted acres with another 5.7 million acres under application.

Saskatchewan, a jurisdiction recognized for its supportive regulatory environment and clean energy innovation, features North America’s most advanced policy framework for the exploration and development of natural hydrogen. The province is also known for its spectacular resource endowment as the world’s leading potash provider, the top high-grade uranium producer in the world, and Canada’s second-largest oil producer. Saskatchewan is also Canada’s leader in helium production, geothermal energy and carbon capture.

The company’s head offices are in Saskatchewan’s two largest cities, Saskatoon and Regina.

Projects

Natural Hydrogen (Saskatchewan)

MAX Power holds multiple large land packages across Saskatchewan prospective for deposits of natural hydrogen, highlighted by the 200-km-long Genesis Trend and the 75-km-wide Grasslands Project.

Genesis features easy road, rail and power access and a proposed hydrogen hub on its eastern side where there is an abundance of potential end-users for natural hydrogen. Drilling is set to begin in early November 2025 at the Lawson target situated in the heart of Genesis. Canada’s first deep well for natural hydrogen is specifically designed to test a complete five-element hydrogen system interpreted to exist at Lawson: source rocks, migration pathways, reservoirs, seals, and traps. Data from vintage and proprietary 2D seismic, gravity and magnetic surveys, and subsurface mapping, among other geological and geophysical information, support the prospectivity of Lawson which lies adjacent to an extensive regional “Salt Barrier” offering excellent seal and trap conditions.

The Genesis Trend’s scalability is further demonstrated by the recent identification of the Lucky Lake target, approximately 50 km northwest of Lawson and one of at least 20 Lawson “look-a-likes” that is being investigated along the trend. Early interpretation suggests serpentinized rocks and structural features favorable for hydrogen generation exist at Lucky Lake.

At Grasslands, geologists are excited about a broad area in the vicinity of a well (“Climax”) near the U.S. border that was drilled a few years ago and inadvertently resulted in Canada’s first known deep subsurface occurrence of natural hydrogen, associated with a rare rock assemblage geologists refer to as “exotic terrane”. Permits covering an area stretching 75 km east-west and up to 10 km north-south were acquired by MAX Power next to this discovery, amplifying the company’s first-mover advantage. Adjacent to three sides of Grasslands are producing helium wells owned by privately-held North American Helium, demonstrating that this under-explored area of the province is highly prospective for clean gas. Drilling of a target at Grasslands is expected during Q1 2026.

Other MAX Power land packages are Rider 1, 2 and 3 in the southeast part of the province, and Choiceland in the north-central part of the province.

To enhance scientific rigor and accelerate development, MAX Power has established a multi-year strategic collaboration with the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC), a globally recognized leader in subsurface energy research based in Regina, Saskatchewan. This partnership complements the company’s relocation to Innovation Saskatchewan’s R+T Parks in Saskatoon and Regina, placing its technical and executive teams at the heart of the province’s academic, regulatory, and infrastructure ecosystem.

Critical Minerals

MAX Power’s other key asset is its Wilcox Lithium Project in mining-friendly Cochise County in southeast Arizona where first-ever diamond drilling in late 2023/early 2024 confirmed the discovery of near-surface lithium-rich clays over a broad area of the Willcox Playa. MAX Power’s property occurs within a nearly 4,000-acre corridor adjacent to U.S. Department of Defense land, and benefits from direct access through roads, rail and power infrastructure. The discovery was made just as lithium entered its final price downturn and is now being intensely revisited by the company in light of the turnaround in lithium and an emphasis on critical mineral resource development in the United States under the Trump administration.

Market Opportunity

According to company materials, the global hydrogen market is valued at approximately $250 billion and is expected to surpass $400 billion by 2030. Supporting this outlook, a study published in Science Advances (Dec. 2024) estimates that in-place natural hydrogen resources could meet global net-zero carbon goals for roughly 200 years. Closer to home, a feasibility study by the Transition Accelerator (April 2024) projects that the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor (RMJIC) in Saskatchewan could support a C$708 million annual hydrogen market, with province-wide demand reaching as high as C$2.7 billion per year.

These projections underscore a compelling opportunity to establish a new energy economy centered around natural hydrogen—a low-cost, low-emission, and potentially naturally replenishing resource. MAX Power is well-positioned to lead this effort with proximity to infrastructure, favorable geology, and increasing institutional support.

Leadership Team

Mansoor Jan, CEO, brings more than two decades of international experience across mining operations, capital markets, and business development. He has held senior positions at BHP Australia, BHP Chile, and Rio Tinto, where he was responsible for advancing cross-border projects, driving mine optimization, and leading technology delivery across major jurisdictions. Mr. Jan holds a BA and MSc in Economics and a Master of Commerce from the University of New South Wales in Australia.

Neil McMillan, Director and Chair of the Audit Committee, is the former Chairman of the Board of Cameco, the world’s largest publicly traded uranium company. Mr. McMillan served on Cameco’s board for 16 years and is highly regarded within and outside the province for his decades of success there. He previously led Claude Resources as President and CEO, paving the way for its development into Saskatchewan’s only profitable gold miner which was bought out for more than $300 million by Silver Standard Resources in 2014.

Steve Halabura, Chief Geoscientist, has decades of successful experience in the province’s resource sector including a deep understanding of the geological controls on the accumulation of hydrogen, helium, and other industrial gases. He was also instrumental in the early formative stages of the only two Saskatchewan greenfield potash mines to come into existence in the 21st century, these being BHP’s Jansen Project and K+S’s Bethune mine.

Britain is preparing to make a major move in its journey toward cleaner transport. The government is set to unveil a fresh $2 billion package aimed at helping more people switch from petrol and diesel cars to electric vehicles, also known as EVs. This announcement comes at a time when the country is trying to speed up progress toward its long-term climate goals while also dealing with slowing demand for electric cars. A big part of this new package will go to strengthening the Electric Car Grant scheme. The government plans to add £1.3 billion ($1.7 billion) to the program so that more drivers can afford to buy new electric cars. Since the scheme began in July, it has already supported more than 35,000 people by reducing the cost of an EV by as much as £3,750 ($4,918). Officials hope that increasing the size of the grant will encourage even more families to make the switch, especially those who have been hesitant because of high upfront prices. Even with the criticism, the government sees the EV transition as essential for the country's future. As Britain prepares to introduce this $2 billion plan, the hope is that lower prices, more chargepoints, and clear long-term goals will finally push the shift to electric vehicles forward. For EV companies like Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (OTC: BINI) that are operating in a domestic market that has been stripped of electric vehicle purchase subsidies, the steps being taken by Britain to support the transition to clean transport are a distant dream.

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) is a Canadian mine development and exploration company advancing a portfolio of gold and silver assets in Nevada’s Walker Lane, one of the world’s most productive and mining-friendly regions. Through its U.S. subsidiaries, the company controls four gold and silver properties in Nevada, three of which are 100%-owned and one controlled via a low-cost option to acquire full ownership. With a clear near-term path to production, Lahontan is focused on unlocking oxide gold and silver value from past-producing, infrastructure-rich projects.

The company’s mission is to responsibly develop and expand its oxide resources while minimizing capital intensity and maximizing economic returns. Leveraging a strong technical team with a track record of advancing projects and building mines, Lahontan is focused on growing gold and silver resources and hitting permitting milestones across multiple sites. Its strategy prioritizes scalability, efficiency, and timely value realization for shareholders.

By maintaining full project ownership and a capital-light development model, Lahontan Gold is positioned to rapidly transition from development to production.

The company is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario.

Projects

Santa Fe Mine

The 26.4 km² Santa Fe Mine is Lahontan’s flagship asset and core development priority. A past-producing open-pit, heap-leach gold and silver operation, Santa Fe historically yielded more than 359,000 ounces of gold and 702,000 ounces of silver between 1988 and 1995. The site benefits from established infrastructure—including power, water, and road access—and more than 79% of its known resources are unencumbered by royalties.

A 2024 NI 43-101 resource estimate outlines 1.54 million ounces of gold equivalent (AuEq) in the Indicated category and 0.41 million ounces Inferred, all pit-constrained. Oxide resources average among the highest grades in the state and are distributed across five known deposits. A 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) projects strong economic returns, including an after-tax NPV5% of $200 million, a 34.2% internal rate of return (IRR), and average annual production of approximately 50,000 ounces AuEq over an eight-year mine life.

Permitting is well underway for both the Exploration and Mine Plans of Operation, covering over 12 km² and more than 700 drill holes. The company is targeting construction permits in late 2026 and continues to pursue oxide resource expansion and metallurgical optimization, particularly within the Slab-Calvada corridor.

West Santa Fe

West Santa Fe lies just 13 kilometers from the flagship and is being explored as a potential satellite operation. The project is defined by a shallow, oxide-dominant gold-silver system with a conceptual target of 0.5 to 1.0 million ounces AuEq based on historic drilling and recent surface sampling, which returned up to 2.61 g/t Au and 899 g/t Ag (14.6 g/t AuEq). A 6,300-meter Phase One reverse circulation drill program is scheduled for 2025 to validate historical data and support a maiden resource estimate. Development is streamlined under a low-cost option agreement and a rapid permitting path via Notice of Intent.

Moho and Redlich

The Moho and Redlich projects provide additional longer-term upside within Lahontan’s portfolio. Moho features high-grade, oxidized epithermal veins with historic production at grades of 20–25 g/t Au and 300 g/t Ag. A 2019 core drill program confirmed the presence of high-grade mineralization at depth. Redlich, located along trend from the historic Candelaria silver mine, hosts disseminated Ag mineralization in epithermal veins and hydrothermal breccias but remains untested by drilling. While no near-term programs are currently disclosed, both assets represent future exploration optionality.

Market Opportunity

Lahontan Gold operates in Nevada, consistently ranked the top global mining jurisdiction by the Fraser Institute due to its transparent permitting process, legal stability, and established infrastructure. Nevada produces over 4.5 million ounces of gold annually, generating approximately $9 billion in value, and ranks fifth globally in total gold production.

According to the World Gold Council, total gold demand in Q1 2025 reached 1,206 tonnes, up 1% year-over-year, marking the strongest first quarter since 2016. Central banks added 244 tonnes to reserves, a slight slowdown from the prior quarter but well within the strong buying range observed over the past three years. Meanwhile, silver demand is supported by strong industrial usage in solar panels, electric vehicles, and semiconductors, with long-term deficits forecast in the physical silver market.

With macro-driven demand for gold, technology-driven silver consumption, and strong institutional buying across both metals, Lahontan is uniquely positioned to capitalize through its portfolio of oxide-focused projects in a top-tier jurisdiction—offering near-term production potential and longer-term resource expansion.

Disseminated on behalf of  Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FAIR) (OTC: FCHDF) and may include paid advertising.

Hecla Mining posted record Q3 earnings and announced heightened exploration activity across Nevada properties, including the closed Midas and Hollister mines

Exploration is advancing multiple targets with existing infrastructure, signaling renewed confidence in Nevada's epithermal gold systems

Fairchild Gold controls strategic ground at Carlin Queen, positioned directly along the same mineralized trends that produced over 2 million ounces at Midas

In exploration geology, context matters as much as the rock itself. When a 134-year-old mining company with four operating mines and $100 million in quarterly cash flow announces it will increase exploration spending in a specific district after years of underinvestment, the companies holding adjacent ground inherit a different valuation equation overnight.

That shift is now unfolding in northern Elko County, Nevada, where Hecla Mining's renewed focus on the Midas and Hollister mine sites has implications that extend beyond the company's own claim boundaries.

Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FAIR) (OTC: FCHDF) is a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing high-quality mineral properties in mining-friendly jurisdictions across North America. The company targets projects with historical production, strong multi-metal potential, and clear pathways to discovery through modern geoscience, AI integration, and responsible development practices.

Fairchild’s portfolio is anchored by the Nevada Titan Project, a district-scale, copper-gold system located just outside Las Vegas in the prolific Walker Lane Belt. The company has also entered into an MOU to acquire the advanced-stage Golden Arrow Project in Nevada, subject to completion of a definitive agreement, and it holds 100% ownership of the Fairchild Lake Property in Ontario.

Fairchild’s mission is to build long-term value by identifying overlooked mineralized systems and unlocking their potential using modern exploration methods.

The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Projects

Nevada Titan Project (Goodsprings District, Nevada)

Nevada Titan is Fairchild’s flagship asset and a district-scale, multi-metal opportunity located just 55 kilometers southwest of Las Vegas. Spanning over 6,150 acres (300+ claims), the project sits within the historically productive Goodsprings Mining District—part of the prolific Walker Lane Belt and Battle Mountain Trend extension. The area hosts numerous historic mines, including Copperside, Copper Chief, Azurite, and Fitzhugh Lee, yet remains largely untested by modern drilling.

Surface sampling and geological mapping have confirmed high-grade copper mineralization up to 34.0% Cu, with associated values of gold, silver, molybdenum, and platinum group elements. A 1.5-kilometer copper-gold corridor has been identified, showing pods and lenses of mineralization consistent with a porphyry-skarn-CRD system. Notably, the discovery of a hydrothermal breccia pipe with garnet-bearing skarn textures and elevated molybdenum signals a porphyry-affiliated source at depth.

Ongoing exploration includes drone magnetics, AI-integrated targeting, and induced polarization geophysics. With infrastructure already in place and proximity to Las Vegas contractors, Fairchild is preparing for a 2026 drill campaign focused on unlocking the project’s large-scale copper-gold system.

Golden Arrow Project (Walker Lane Shear Zone, Nevada)

In September 2025, Fairchild signed a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire 100% of the Golden Arrow Project, an advanced-stage gold-silver asset in Nevada’s Walker Lane Trend. The project hosts a historic mineral resource estimate of approximately 347,000 ounces of gold and 5.3 million ounces of silver, including 296,500 ounces of gold and 4.0 million ounces of silver in the measured and indicated categories. According to third-party analysis by mining analyst Ryan D. Long, the total acquisition consideration of $5.0 million equates to approximately $12 per ounce of gold in the ground.

The project’s two main deposits, Gold Coin and Hidden Hill, were historically mined at surface and remain open at depth, supported by over 61,000 meters of past drilling. Modern geophysical work has outlined 34 additional exploration targets, including six classified as high-priority. Hosted in a volcanic complex with both high-grade vein and disseminated mineralization, the system offers strong potential for expansion.

Golden Arrow is situated just 96 kilometers from Kinross’s 28-million-ounce Round Mountain Mine and expands Fairchild’s Nevada footprint by 170% when combined with the Titan Project. The project’s extensive exploration database and near-surface deposits make the acquisition a compelling strategic entry point into a proven district with significant near-term development potential.

Fairchild Lake Property (Savant Lake Greenstone Belt, Ontario)

Fairchild Gold holds 100% ownership of the Fairchild Lake Property, a 2,224-hectare claim package in Ontario’s underexplored Savant Lake greenstone belt. Historical and recent work, including airborne geophysics and soil sampling, has identified anomalous gold values near the Kashaweogama Lake Fault, a major crustal break. The company draws geological comparisons to Red Lake’s LP Fault and views the structural setting as a promising focus for future exploration.

Market Opportunity

Fairchild operates in Tier-1 mining jurisdictions where political stability, established infrastructure, and clear permitting pathways reduce development risk and enhance long-term value. Nevada, in particular, is a top-ranked global destination for mineral exploration and home to some of the world’s most productive gold and copper belts. Fairchild’s flagship project, Nevada Titan, is located in the Walker Lane Belt, a prolific trend responsible for more than 89 million ounces of gold and nearly 1 billion ounces of silver to date.

The company is strongly positioned to benefit from the ongoing historic bull market in gold. In early October 2025, Goldman Sachs raised its December 2026 gold price forecast to $4,900 per ounce, citing strong ETF inflows and sustained central bank demand. A Jefferies analyst has projected gold could reach $6,600 per ounce in the near term, while other major institutions including UBS and Bank of America have also raised their targets amid elevated geopolitical risk, structural reserve diversification, and anticipated U.S. rate cuts. With limited new supply and rising demand from both institutional and retail investors, gold remains a cornerstone of portfolio hedging and upside exposure.

Copper also remains a core strategic focus, with demand expected to double by 2035, driven by electrification, grid modernization, and clean energy buildout, according to S&P Global. The Nevada Titan Project hosts porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization, along with skarn and carbonate replacement features—deposit types that are key global sources of both industrial and precious metals.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS).

Nvidia's great earnings report failed to calm the growing unease around the AI trade, and that tension shaped the mood in markets this week. The company's blockbuster quarter reaffirmed that demand for AI hardware remains powerful, yet instead of settling the debate, it exposed how sharply divided investors have become over the long term payoff of surging AI investments. Its shares surged at the open on Thursday last week and briefly pulled other AI and tech names with them but the lift evaporated within hours as traders reassessed what the results actually meant. Major indexes traced that same arc, climbing early before sinking into losses, a swing that underscored how fragile confidence has become after a long run of rising prices. With investors seeing little to no return on the hundreds of billions of dollars pumped into AI, fears of a bubble have become rampant. Senior strategist Kevin Cook from Zacks Investment Research notes that some players may simply be stretching too far by leaning heavily on debt. Art Hogan of B. Riley Wealth predicts turbulence will remain a defining feature of the AI trade as enthusiasm and skepticism continue to run side by side. Companies like D-Wave Quantum Inc.

Projects

Arctic Project

The Arctic project is Trilogy’s flagship asset and one of the highest-grade known copper deposits in the world, with an average grade of approximately 5% copper equivalent. Located roughly 470 kilometers northwest of Fairbanks, Alaska, Arctic is a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit hosting copper, zinc, lead, gold, and silver. The project is at the feasibility stage and is currently undergoing permitting activities.

According to the 2023 Feasibility Study, Arctic will support a 10,000 tonne-per-day open-pit mining operation over a 13-year mine life. Based on long-term metal prices of $3.65/lb copper, $1.15/lb zinc, $1.00/lb lead, $1,650/oz gold, and $21.00/oz silver, the project demonstrates a pre-tax NPV8% of $1.5 billion and an IRR of 25.8%. After-tax, the NPV8% is $1.1 billion with a 22.8% IRR. At April 2025 spot metal prices, the after-tax NPV8% increases to $1.9 billion with a 31.1% IRR.

The project’s metallurgy supports high recoveries: 92.1% for copper, 88.5% for zinc, and 61.3% for lead. Life-of-mine payable production is projected to total 1.9 billion pounds of copper, 2.2 billion pounds of zinc, 335 million pounds of lead, 423,000 ounces of gold, and 36 million ounces of silver. Cash costs are expected to average $0.72 per pound of payable copper, with all-in costs estimated at $1.61 per pound.

Bornite Project

Located approximately 25 kilometers southwest of Arctic, the Bornite project is a large-scale carbonate replacement copper deposit with significant upside. According to the 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), Bornite is expected to support a 6,000 tonne-per-day underground operation over a 17-year mine life, using re-purposed infrastructure from the Arctic Project.

Bornite contains an estimated 6.5 billion pounds of inferred copper. The PEA outlines pre-tax NPV8% of $552.1 million and IRR of 23.6%, with an after-tax NPV8% of $393.9 million and IRR of 20.0%, based on a copper price of $4.20/lb. Total payable copper production over the life of mine is projected at 1.9 billion pounds.

Bornite’s mineralization occurs in stacked, stratabound zones rich in chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite. A subset of the South Reef zone offers high-grade underground mining potential, further enhancing Bornite’s future optionality.

Exploration Pipeline

The Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects span 471,796 acres and include more than 30 additional mineralized prospects beyond Arctic and Bornite. These lie along two geologically distinct and highly mineralized belts: the Ambler Schist Belt and the Bornite Carbonate Sequence.

The Ambler Schist Belt features multiple VMS-style prospects along its 100-kilometer strike length, including Sunshine, Snow, Nora, Shungnak, and BT. Neighboring deposits like Smucker (Teck) and Sun (Valhalla Metals) affirm the district’s regional potential. Ten of Trilogy’s VMS prospects have been drill tested with encouraging results.

Meanwhile, the Bornite Carbonate Sequence extends 16 kilometers along the Cosmos Hills and hosts additional targets such as Pardner Hill and Aurora Mountain. These zones show strong signs of copper and cobalt mineralization and were partially tested during the Kennecott era, suggesting significant room for expansion.

Together, these assets form the foundation of a multi-decade development and discovery platform in one of the most prospective undeveloped mining districts in North America.

Market Opportunity

Trilogy Metals is poised to benefit from long-term structural demand for copper and other critical minerals essential to electrification, energy infrastructure, and clean technologies.

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF).

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is a fully permitted, pre-production resource company on a clear path to near-term gold and silver production. With established infrastructure in place and a significant gold-silver resource, the company is uniquely positioned to generate near-term cash flow while unlocking the full potential of its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec—one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world.

ESGold is building a foundation for long-term growth through a dual-track strategy: cash-flow generation from tailings reprocessing to fund district-scale exploration.

The Montauban site, which operated as a mine for over 80 years, is now undergoing its first-ever systematic exploration program to determine just how large the remaining deposit may be. Near-term cash flow from tailings reprocessing will be used to fund exploration, with the goal of increasing the resource base and uncovering new discoveries across the expansive land package.

ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that turns legacy mine sites into revenue generating assets while setting a new industry benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The recent completion of a C$3.4M financing has enabled ESGold to initiate the final construction phase of its mill circuit—moving the company decisively toward production of gold and silver in Q3 2025.

Montauban Gold-Silver Project: Production Imminent

Located approximately 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, the Montauban Project is a past-producing gold-silver mine with surface and underground mineralization and over 900,000 tonnes of historical tailings. ESGold has invested over C$15 million to date, building out roads, power access, and a 16,000 sq. ft. processing facility. The company recently completed a C$3.4M financing to begin final construction of the mill circuit.

The company is fully permitted to enter into production that is expected to commence in Q3 2025 with a capacity of 500 tonnes per day, scaling to 1,000 tpd. An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is currently underway to reflect all-time high gold prices and the anticipated upside from the near-surface resource.

Parallels Between Broken Hill & Montauban

Broken Hill, discovered in 1883 in Australia, became the world’s largest source of silver, lead, and zinc—producing over $100 billion worth of metals. What made it unique was that the richest mineral zones were hidden deep underground in a twisted, boomerang-like shape, and it took decades to fully understand just how large the deposit really was.

Geologists now believe ESGold’s Montauban Project in Quebec may share similar traits. Like Broken Hill, it contains high-grade silver, lead, and zinc, along with gold—and sits within the same type of geological system known to host large, high-value mineral deposits. The rock formations, mineral assemblages, and structural complexity all suggest that Montauban could be hiding much more than what’s been historically uncovered. Academic studies now support this possible geological parallel, pointing to further evidence suggesting Montauban was formed under similar conditions as Broken Hill.

Exploration Upside

With production on the horizon, ESGold is advancing a major exploration campaign. Montauban has never undergone systematic modern exploration.

The company is currently completing a large-scale Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey—a powerful 3D imaging technology that will define the size, shape, and continuity of the mineralized system. ANT is already showing strong results, with imaging going beyond the original 400m depth target and now expected to exceed 800m. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to reveal the full extent of the anomaly for the first time in Montauban’s 110-year history.

Scalable, Replicable, Clean Mining

Montauban is also part of a broader vision. Across Canada and globally, there are hundreds of orphaned or legacy mine sites that remain unrehabilitated despite containing valuable residual metals in tailings. Quebec alone is home to more than 259 of these sites, highlighting the scale of the opportunity. ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that transforms legacy sites into productive assets while setting a new benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The company has also performed testing that utilizes Dundee Sustainable Technologies’ CLEVR Process™, a proprietary non-cyanide extraction method that achieved 90.9% gold recovery in lab testing. This clean processing approach remains a valuable and scalable asset supporting ESGold’s near-term production and exploration growth strategy.

As a complement to its core mining operations, ESGold is developing clean technology solutions through a joint venture with DMCMS Inc. This initiative includes a polymer division that manufactures environmentally friendly products such as road stabilizers, dust suppressants, and other industrial blends—expanding the company’s sustainable commercial footprint.

Market Opportunity

ESGold is operating in a unique and specialized segment of the mining industry—reprocessing and revitalizing legacy mine sites. The Montauban Project offers both near-term cash flow and long-term growth potential by converting tailings into revenue while systematically exploring for additional high-value mineral endowments. The company’s established infrastructure, full permitting, and reclamation approvals reduce development risk and enhance execution timelines.

The broader green mining market is projected to reach $15.92 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. This growth is being driven by increased demand for responsible extraction methods, ESG-aligned practices, and critical mineral security. With construction underway at its fully permitted Montauban site—and exploration advancing along a Broken Hill-type geological model—ESGold is well positioned to emerge as Canada’s next premier gold and silver producer.
