Ramp Metals (RAMP.V) looks to hit the ground running and let the drill tell the story
When a new mining explorer shows up on the public markets, the company in question usually doesn’t start from scratch – they start from below scratch. That’s because not only is a new mining story largely unknown, but the company itself has to get past the stigma that all pre-drilling microcap mineral explorers are bullshit.…

Falcon Gold (FG.V) rolled the dice on a copper deal and, well hello there..
I often come back to the story of, when I was a reporter at the newspaper of record out here in Van City, the day my boss’ boss decided to forego an imminent promotion and take a job at a smaller news organization. Less money. Less power. Smaller title. Smaller team. It didn’t make any…

Ashley Gold (ASHL.C) does deal for pre-drilled US uranium asset right by future mill
When we last talked about Ashley Gold Corp (ASHL.C), we framed things as a one-man show diligently working his ass off to progress a gold property that had plenty of potential but was facing headwinds due to the general market malaise on gold. All he needed was a small amount of capital, we said, and…

How to start a good rare earths company: Neoterrex Minerals (NTX.V) lays it out
Years ago, after the graphite spike and before the lithium boom, the cobalt jump, and the vanadium moment, rare earths had a hot second in the sun. It wasn’t a long second, but the internet was booming and electric vehicles were being thought about and we all had rechargeable batteries jammed into anything with a…

To space and back: Hyperspectral tech to be used in lithium exploration at Lancaster Resources (LCR.C)
When I watch a mining-based TV show like those regularly seen on the Discovery Channel, and some mucky-booted, sun-beaten wanderer busts out their trusty gold pan or their metal detector to see if some patch of ground is worth sticking a hole in, I’m always struck by how mining technology hasn’t changed all that much…

Beyond Lithium (BY.C) shifts from accruing to drilling to monetizing, and you get the savings!
Our friends at Beyond Lithium (BY.C) went on an absolute spree over the last year, accruing more lithium projects in Ontario than any other explorer. We asked repeatedly what they were going to do with all those projects, and they said repeatedly, “We’re going to explore them.” No lithium project supermarket, no sit and wait…

The reputation of Defense Metals (DEFN.V) is so good, neighbours are spending money promoting it
“Respect the work.” This is a phrase every resource investor should have posted above their trading monitor, every day, for the rest of their lives. It’s the one thing that separates the real resource companies that have a chance at being something, from the pretenders who will go out of their way NOT to advance…

Roof blows off Benton Resources (BEX.V) stock as Falcon Gold (FG.V) lifting hard nearby
Over the last few days, holders of Benton Resources (BEX.V) stock have been eating steak and getting measured for yacht wear. Bastards. If you want to know why, it’s because of the following, on a project Benton has optioned from Spruce Ridge Resources (SHL.C) : BENTON HITS MULTIPLE HIGH GRADE COPPER ZONES IN FIRST TWO…

Tisdale Clean Energy (TCEC.C): A 20-yr uranium basket case until… just now
If you factor in all the rollbacks and the sell-offs and the flat years and the crashes, the downturns and boardroom battles and pivots and losses, Tisdale Clean Energy Corp (TCEC.C) has been a decades-long garbage disposal for investor dollars. But a funny thing has been happening in the last month, since Vancouver mining guy…

Ashley Gold (ASHL.C) CEO is tired of waiting around, wants drills in the ground
Conventional wisdom in the junior mining world is, if your stock price isn’t ramping up, and the market isn’t giving love to anyone, the one thing to do in a hurry is wait. Just.. wait. Pay yourself of course, because you’re not a charity. And maybe put out a news release about some conference you’re…
