BTV Highlights Emerging Mining Picks including Reunion Gold, Arizona Sonoran, Prime Mining
this is BTV business
television hello I’m Taylor tone and I’m
Jessica caser welcome to BTV business
television this week on BTV we focus in
on some high-grade investment
opportunities with the potential to help
grow your portfolio including one that
was so attractive it convinced a veteran
mining executive to come out of
retirement ticks all the boxes for
anyone who’s who’s wanting a major gold
producer we track the development of a
tier one Discovery in the heart of
America’s Copper Country our ultimate
goal here is to move this into
commercial production and grow a solid
mid- tier Mining Company we follow one
company’s hunt for gold in the Sierra
Madre of Mexico we continue to see the
potential to add millions of ounces gold
equivalent in high grade and we speak to
a number of corporate leaders and
Industry experts to find out what
investments they’re most excited about
there are any number of copper mines in
the world that make a million US dollars
a day what I call the 800lb gorilla in
the room in terms of the silver space is
solar demand all this and more ahead on
BTV business
television Rick house was happily
retired until an ex- colleague David Fel
the executive chairman of reunion gold
tried to entice him with a golden
opportunity the chance to get in on the
oo West project that reunion was
developing in the Guyana Shield finel
believed in the project from the
beginning and wouldn’t take no for an
answer I would say I said no the first
maybe 10 or 15 times he called but uh
eventually he convinced me to take a
look and I flew down to Guyana and went
to the property and certainly everything
he spoke about was true about it now
reunion CEO Rick how is a True Believer
we’ve probably got one of the highest
quality discoveries in recent years in a
good jurisdiction which again is
supportive of Mining and uh allows for
some fairly fast permitting timelines
and then that really allows this project
to go from Discovery to production in
the order of six years which is pretty
rare so about three years from now we
would expect to be in
production Don mlan a senior gold
analyst with Paradigm Capital also sees
the immense promise of the oo gold
project you’re dealing with the tier one
Discovery in terms of its size the
grades twice that that we would see in
your typical large open pit mine the
existing resource that was published in
June at 4.3 million oun at 1.9 GS was
excellent but it only went down to about
600 beers we’ve been plating it and
measuring the resource ourselves ever
since it’s started and we’re sitting at
about 5 a half million out since as the
OKO West resource grows so does momentum
for the project there’s a lot of news
flow now this year Nery part of the year
coming out one will be the release of
the final drill results from the deep
extension drill program followed by our
resource estimate update which will
include our very first update of the
underground resource potential then that
will be followed by our pea which we
anticipate to release in May which will
pretty much give us everyone a good idea
of what the value proposition is of this
particular project to Don mlan the value
of OKO West is already undeniable it’s a
very attractive Discovery at a time when
we don’t have that many great
discoveries I think there will be a very
interesting MHS game take place in 2020
4 but in the end I suspect it will be a
a Hollywood issue for investors to pick
between competing bids for the compy the
project is one that I would say is it
ticks all the boxes for anyone who’s
wanting a major gold producer with a
long life ahead and certainly where the
company is trading at today it’s a real
opportunity for shareholders to get in
on a very cheap price and ride the wave
that I think is going to happen in
February this year reunion golden
announced a significant increase in its
mineral resource at OKO West and is on
track to release its preliminary
economic study in Q2 of this year to
find out more go to reunion

gold.com Bunker Hill mining is bringing
new thinking to the iconic past
producing Bunker Hill Mine to satisfy
the GR demand for critical and precious
metals that are key to the world’s low
carbon transition with multiple lowrisk
targets the property has significant
exploration
upside the focus of Bunker Hill is the
restart of the Bunker Hill Mine in
Northern Idaho which will be our
Cornerstone asset on the way to building
a multi-asset North American focused Bas
and precious metal Mining Company it is
a brownsfield restart of an iconic us
mine uh had operated over 100 years
continuously and produced 165 million
ounces of silver in the Silver Valley in
northern Idaho Bunker’s main commodity
focus is lead zinc and silver 70% of the
revenue stream comes from zinc the
remaining equally split between lead and
silver however we expect that the
revenue stream will rebalance over time
to uh its historical Norm where roughly
50% of the revenue will come from Silver
there is a significant future at at
Bunker Hill and only a third of the
claim package encompasses the historic
Bunker Hill Mine leaving 2/3 of the
claim package largely
unexplored stay tune for some investment
opportunities you won’t want to miss
right here on BTV our ultimate goal here
is to move this into commercial
production and grow a solid mid-tier
mining company out of the heartland of
the Arizona copper Bel we’ll be right
back
[Music]
you’re watching
BTV copper deposits when you discover
them are occasionally very big and big
deposits irrespective of commodity have
treated me well there are any number of
copper mines in the world that make a
million US dollars a day the consequence
of being attracted to Big deposits mean
I’m attracted to Copper irrespective of
my outlook for the
commodity with few new copper mines
coming online and a predicted Supply
crunch copper developers are a necessity
and especially within mining friendly
and copper friendly jurisdictions like
Arizona also known as The Copper State
among the developers one player stands
out Arizona Sonoran copper company as an
emerging player with a substantial
Brownfield property the company offers a
compelling proposition that ticks many
essential
boxes initially when I did my analysis
on this project I saw that it had had
very few obstacles to First production
uh given that it was a former producing
mine uh it came with a water rights to
the year 2070 it has uh access to water
in the ground in a natural aquifer uh
there’s a main power line that runs
right through the property uh we have
Road and rail infrastructure immediately
on our Southern border and very
importantly uh the City of Casa Grande
which is only 5 kilomet to the east
gives us a very strong social license
and uh would like to see the mine come
back into production while the existing
infrastructure provides a huge Advantage
it’s the property’s resource that’s most
impressive 5.2 billion pounds of copper
in the measured and indicated category
and 2.2 billion inferred in addition to
these promising resource numbers Arizona
Soren’s new pref feasibility study
declares three billion pounds of Reserve
to calculate a 21-year mine life Arizona
Sonoran study shows first quartile
Capital intensity to build a 55,000 tons
perom Heap Leach an sxew
operation I think the key with the
recent PFS is that it it it brings scale
to the to the to the opportunity I think
it’s it’s it’s well regarded as a very
robust project um but now it checks an
additional box which is critical scale
that you also need to really get
investors interested to drive the market
Market forward the company may have
their much awaited oxide Focus
pre-feasibility study in hand but they
have no intention of slowing
down we currently have three drills
which are operational at the site uh
those will continue to drill a property
called mainspring which uh is not
included in this pref feasibility study
but our goal would be to bring that into
an updated PFS sometime before the end
of the year and of of course uh we’re
still drilling a metallurgical core uh
which ultimately will be handed over to
Newton Newton is part of the mining
giant riotinto copper division that has
developed a new copper sulfite leeching
technology Newton is working with the
company to test the leech ability of the
cactus primary sulfites if successful
Arizona sorin may be able to gain access
to pounds that are excluded from the
recent pref feasibility study it’s a
bioleach operation which really allows
us to extract ore from the primary
sulfide it’s a part of our ore body that
exists today that we just can’t extract
economically based on the existing
technology but with their technology we
can bring to life that primary sulfide
uh through this bioleach process and add
maturely to the the life of the acid all
this work to date is only the beginning
of an ambitious Journey forward for the
company our ultimate goal here is to
move this into commercial production and
grow a solid mid-tier mining company out
of the heartland of the Arizona Copper
Bell we’ve had tremendous success
organically growing the company we’re
going to continue to focus on that
organic growth with the pre-feasibility
study now released and the next study
already underway this promises to be a
transformative year for Arizona sorin
[Music]
the world needs lithium to sustain a
growing EV Revolution and surge battery
Metals is well positioned to supply it
through its Nevada North lithium project
while there’s still work to be done the
company is well on its way to developing
the highest grade lithium clay resource
in the
US Search battery Metals we just
announced our made and resour
this Nevada North project is best in
class in terms of lithium clay assets
one of the attractive features of this
is not only is it high grade that’s
looking very favorable to have a
conventional process to help us extract
the lithium great location great
jurisdiction great infrastructure we’re
just southeast of Elco which is a mining
town so we have access to you know
Drillers uh geologists the things we
need to advance the project we have a
lot of work ahead of us this year we’ve
got metw work coming we’ve got more
drilling coming We’ve Got a Pea coming
we’ll also be doing all the engineering
work to get to a bankable feasibility
EVS are here to stay the the growth
rates projected out to 20040 that we
will need I believe 4 million tons of of
lithium carbonate we’re at a million
tons production right now so there’s a
big gap that needs to be supplied and
and we’re hoping to you know develop
this project to be part of the
solution coming up we’ll zero in on more
exciting investment opportunities right
here on btb I notice that the gold trade
is climing the wall of worry as we speak
gold traditionally does well when faith
in fat denominated instruments is
poor we’ll be right
[Music]
back you’re watching
BTV thinking about purchasing gold with
the popularity of gold as an investment
Costco has reported significant earnings
in their sales of gold bullion long time
investor Rick rule comments on the
current gold
market I don’t know if 2024 will be
Gold’s year or 2025 will be but I notice
that the gold trade is climbing the wall
of worry as we speak and gold
traditionally does well when faith in
Fiat denominated instruments is poor and
I think that that will be a theme I
think too that the gold stocks are
unnecessarily depressed rest relative to
the price of gold but I think
irrespective of the past sins that the
current reality means that uh I’m
bullish on gold as a consequence I think
that the gold stocks will catch up to a
commodity that itself is rising the CR
madre in Mexico is where you’ll find
prime mining’s Flagship property Los
Rees surrounded by Titans of the mining
industry CEO Scott Hicks explains how
their property still stands out the land
package at Los Rees was Consolidated by
a previous owner and Prime mining is
focused on trying to use best-in-class
exploration techniques to prove up the
immense potential on the property the
6,000 hectar have not received the
quantity of drilling yet that a prolific
Zone like ours is entitled to the Sierra
modre is home to numerous worldclass
gold projects with plenty of existing
infrastructure the Sierra hrees
themselves have had plenty of
exploration and successful mining
operations Los Reus itself is strongly
supported by great infrastructure
there’s a strong Road Network that gets
us to kosla which is our main base of
operations as well as to the project
site itself through the project site
running right through the heart of it is
an existing power line there’s also
plenty of water both surface and ground
available to the project for future
development with a number of surface
targets as well as potential Underground
extensions that are available to us we
are really the first operators that a
sole focus on developing this property
with a resurging stock market Prime is
confident they can stand out with strong
resource
updates Prime currently has 2.2 million
gold equilin ounces both between gold
and silver and a lot of our proponents
feel that we have three to 4 million
plus ounces and we view that as uh as
not an aspirational but a realistic
exploration Target for our team there’s
significant potential for resource
expansion we have a 40,000 met drill
program planned for 2024 to build on the
60,000 meter post resource drill program
we had last year some Junior miners can
struggle from a lack of experience but
Scott Hicks is confident in the
professionals on his team Prime has a
very unique blend of very experienced
explorationists mine finders mine
builders in Capital Market professionals
most of the senior management team has
20 30 even 40 years of experience across
that range of activities and most of us
Herald from such senior companies as
numont Tech Kinross and IM am gold so we
bring a bit of unique more senior gold
uh mentality to the junior exploration
space with an experience team a
worldclass location and a strong balance
sheet Prime is ready for what lies ahead
we continue to see the potential to add
millions of ounces gold equivalent in
high grade it’s a very exciting time at
Prime and 2024 is going to be an even
more exciting year than last year with
so much drilling behind us and the
financial strength to have a lot of
drilling ahead of us where again we
think will help to enable the next
doubling of our Resource as an
expiration Target Prime mining believes
that sustainability is at the heart of
all the success they’ve achieved and are
continuing to work with local
communities you can follow their social
work and drill results at Prime mining

corp.com is focused on large copper
projects in North America all to provide
critical metals that support an
evolution to a lower carbon environment
with two Advanced and three exploration
stage projects on the go the company is
drawing a lot of
attention copper is a part of our life
whether we know it or not Copper Fox
Metals focused in Copper North America
we have three resource properties a very
large metal balance plus copper gold
Molly and silver we have the van djk
project in Arizona which is an iscr
project good economics done at a
considered price we’re moving that
through the pre feasibility stage and
right now we’re just finishing up some
Geotech work did some minerological work
and so we’ll be looking to move into the
phase two hopefully maybe mid year but
the second one is the joint venture we
have with tech resources at shaft Creek
and the joint venture just announced an
$8.7 million program for 2024 to get
more certainty and hopefully surface
additional value at sha Creek I still
have that burning desire to get in the
field and find Copper because when you
find Copper then you’re adding value to
your company and I really still enjoy it
very much don’t go away more investment
and expert insights when we return right
here on BTV you can’t do crypto you
can’t do artificial intelligence without
energy and you can’t do energy without
copper we’ll be right
back you’re watching BTV
as we speak uh the price of gold has
just hit an all-time high gold silver
naturally everybody loves gold and
silver copper is critical to the future
but the other base Metals you know lead
zinc things like iron ore the world
needs these things I mean I know there’s
a big focus in the markets on you know
crypto and technology and what have you
but you you can’t do crypto you can’t do
artificial intelligence without energy
and you can’t do energy without copper
without you know uh critical elements in
The Rare Earth space things like battery
metals
G mining Ventures has its eye on Brazil
where it’s developing its Flagship goal
project expected to be the country’s
thirdd largest gold mine when completed
with commercial production just months
away G mining has a compelling Story to
Tell G mining Ventures is a precious
metal focused company and we’re
currently building the token Tenino
project in Brazil uh so we made
tremendous progress this past year
advancing the construction to achieved
76% completion at the end of the year we
feel that Brazil is a very attractive
jurisdiction from a political point of
view from a mineral resource potential
point of view so the mineral endowment
of Brazil is tremendous copper nickel we
have a wealth of network of suppliers
competent people for us it’s really a
top jurisdiction in in South America in
the past year really developed 19
additional targets to to explore this
year so we’re allocating a $4 million
budget
to investigate some of these targets
we’re on that path of reating the
company as we get into commercial
production which we’re forecasting in
the second half of this

year this year marks the 20th
anniversary of the Canadian Securities
Exchange an organization dedicated to
helping early stage companies access
public markets recently the csse
underwent a significant rebranding that
also serves to underscore its commit
to finding new and better ways to bring
value to
issuers the first 10 years was a story
of slow but steady growth and we were
finding an increasing audience with the
Canadian investment Community the staff
compliment has grown tremendously but
fundamentally the sense of the
organization is exactly the same as when
it started we’re serving a much larger
issuer Community than ever before the
Canadian Securities Exchange LED alter
exchanges last year with 18 ibos that
came to Market we continue to see a
number of companies particularly from
the mining space that are coming into
the market we have a strong track record
of working with companies that are based
in the United States but are really too
small to join one of the national
markets in the US or have elected not to
accept private Equity or Venture Capital
type financing it is all about at this
point helping the companies engage with
pools of capital wherever that may be
Canada the United States or
overseas and finally today this analyst
shares his thoughts on
Silver what I call the 800lb gorilla in
the room in terms of the silver space is
solar demand and that’s been growing
tremendously maybe four years ago it
represented 100 million ounces a year
out of a billion ounce market last year
it was already 190 million ounces so
it’s nearly doubled forecast is that in
2024 we’re going to be above 200 million
ounces so it’ll have clearly doubled and
that represents about 20% now so 20% of
all the silver Supply goes to solar
alone every year it’s just tremendous
and it cannot be
ignored whether it’s gold copper lithium
or critical Metals the resource industry
offers a number of excellent investment
opportunities opportunity that will
continue to follow as they develop
