Mining Review 11th January 2026

We make some adjustments in our watchlists, with three new entrants in the exploration category, and two Tier 2 companies exiting due to poor performance.

Gold and silver remain strong as silver registers a new nominal all-time high.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 11th January 2026

Pacgold announced the commencement of production operations at its newly acquired White Dam project in South Australia.

G2 Goldfields and Lefroy Exploration both announced good drill intersections for gold.

.

Gold and silver remain strong as silver registers a new nominal all-time high price around $80.

.

——-

.

We are making some additions to  to our watchlists in the exploration tier 4 stage, and deleting a couple of companies from our tier 2 watchlist, please see the changes below.

The new entrants are early stage projects with scale potential, and proven management teams.

.

In

Fuerte Metals    (FMT.V)   Coffee Gold Project in the Yukon

Lahontan Gold  (LH.V)      Restarting the Santa Fe gold mine in Nevada.

Mogotes Metals (MOG.V   Filo Sur project abuts the Filo Del Sur copper project.

/

Fuerte Metals has acquired the Coffee Gold Project in the Yukon from Newmont, who has spent over $300 million in prior investment. The company also has two advanced exploration projects in Mexico, and an early stage one in Chile.

Lahontan is restarting the old producing Santa Fe gold mine in Nevada. CEO Kimberley Anne is very experienced and driven to restart production rather than be acquired.

Mogotes Metals has huge potential as its Filo Sur copper / gold / silver project which abuts the Filo Del Sur project acquired by BHP / Lundin for C$4.5 billion when metal prices were much lower.

The company has just raised substantial funds for a large drilling campaign. Positive news from that would surely bring out the deep pocketed suitors?

 

.

Out

Magnetic Resources   (ASX: MAU)

Minera Alamos     (MAI.V)

.

Both these companies are not performing as per my expectations.

Magnetic is waiting to be acquired, but how much longer will it take? The share price is flat lining in a range whilst other gold projects in the region are performing with the rising price of gold.

Minera Alamos has disappointed over an extended period, and the purchase of the Pan gold mine in Nevada looks more like an act of desperation to buy production after the disappointment of their projects in Mexico in my opinion.

Barton Gold CEO Sends a Positive Message for 2026

Barton Gold (ASX: BGD)

Md and CEO Alexander Scanlon emailed investors with a positive note highlighting the  company’s achievements during 2025 and the prospects for production startup in late 2026.

Barton Gold CEO Sends a Positive Message for 2026

 

Dear Investors & Colleagues,

I hope this mail finds you well, enjoying the holidays with friends and family, and looking forward to an exciting 2026. What a massive year it has been for Barton.

2025 has been transformational in all respects, with several notable project and corporate achievements jointly symbolising the ‘pivot point’ between the last 5 years of ‘building our thesis’, and the next 5 years of ‘executing our plan’ and realising the value of the platform we have methodically and [very] cost-efficiently assembled.

These include:

Exploration & Development

.

Corporate

We are also now collectively witnessing concrete evidence of the once-in-a-generation paradigm shifts in global monetary, trade and geopolitical structures that I / we / Barton have been discussing in our general economic commentary for several years now.

We are therefore not surprised to see gold significantly outperforming UBS’s June 2024 forecast for USD $2,800 / A$4,000 by the end of 2025. Widely ridiculed at the time as sensationalist, UBS now sees USD $5,000 gold by September 2026 – a perhaps relatively sober outlook given the aforementioned ongoing global macro / structural evolution, and that this would represent only a further ~15% gain from current levels.

Our strategy to rapidly scale Barton’s development options and prepare it for low-cost commercialisation ahead of these anticipated market innovations is therefore at least timely in its execution, if not prescient in its design. Either way, we and our strategy are now well positioned, and the market is becoming increasingly aware of it.

Growing awareness of our performance, and of these global trends, has seen BGD close trade today at $1.32, just shy of our all time high, on unusually high trading volumes for this time of year. This represents a 426% gain for the year and substantial ‘alpha’ generated – outperforming producers (GDXJ) by a factor of 2.6 to 1, and gold itself by 6.6 to 1.

2026 will be about leaning into the momentum we have generated, continuing to build this market awareness of our story, commercialising the platform we have assembled, and placing Barton on track to realise our vision of developing South Australia’s largest independent pure-play gold producer.

Among many other goals for 2026, we aim to:

  • complete nearly 50,000 metres of drilling at Challenger, Tunkillia and Tolmer’s silver discovery, targeting multiple JORC upgrades across these projects;
  • deliver a DFS, finance and start of site works for ‘Stage 1’ Challenger operations;
  • deliver a PFS, JORC Ore Reserves and a Mining Lease application for Tunkillia; and
  • extend our track record of low dilution and creative asset monetisation. 

 

“With Challenger gravity survey results and several Tunkillia drilling assays oustanding, we expect to start 2026 with significant early news flow which will grow steadily as we execute and report on these many and multi-faceted efforts.

 

“I look forward to sharing numerous updates as we move through an exciting 2026. As always, we are honoured to have your support, and will continue to work as hard for your investment as you did.Wishing you all the best for a healthy, safe and prosperous 2026”

Alexander Scanlon – Managing Director & CEO

Mining Review 4th January 2026

Gold and silver are volatile again after the New Year.

Gold is still hovering above $4,300, but silver remains around it’s all-time high price as supply remains tight. The CME has twice raised margin requirements to try and curb speculators, but to no avail thus far.

——-

Western Gold is about to become the next Australian producing gold miner, with a startup imminent in Q1 2026.

Western Gold are featured in our tier2 Watchlist as a late stage developer, early production company. Arrangements are now almost complete for production startup, and I expect the share price to run closer to the commencement of production.

I hold shares in Western Gold and recently added. I intend to rotate some profits from another company to increase my holding here in the near term to take advantage of any rise in share price that normally occurs as a developer enters production.

A strong week for gold and silver, pushing up the share prices of producing precious metal miners. The silver price recorded a nominal all-time high of over $64.

Meeka Metals made a high-grade gold discovery, and G Mining Ventures received its mining licence for the Oko West gold mine in Guyana.

As Friday opens in New York, gold is trading at $43.41, and silver, $64.12 (Source Kitco).

The reasons are the reduced interest rate decision by the FED, and that Quantitive Easing has resumed in the US.

G Mining Ventures announced the major news of the week, the issuing of their mining licence for Oko West in Guyana. The company will now quickly advance the project construction, finance is already arranged and the company enjoys positive cashflow from their TZ mine in Brazil.

Westgold Resumes Mining at Great Fingall

Westgold Resources (ASX | TSX: WGX)

Has successfully fired the first high-grade stope at its iconic Great Fingall Mine – now accessing virgin areas of the famous gold reef last mined more than a century ago.

Located near the town of Cue in Western Australia, the Great Fingall mine produced an astonishing 1.2Moz of gold between 1891 and 1918.

Westgold Recommences Mining at Great Fingall

 

 

.
Perth, Western Australia, 11 December 2025: Westgold Resources Limited (ASX | TSX: WGX – Westgold or the Company) confirms it has successfully fired the first high-grade stope at its iconic Great Fingall Mine – now accessing virgin areas of the famous gold reef last mined more than a century ago.

Located near the town of Cue in Western Australia, the Great Fingall mine produced an
astonishing 1.2Moz of gold between 1891 and 1918 − from just 1.9Mt of ore, notably without the benefit of modern mining technology.

At steady state production from 2027, Great Fingall will deliver ~0.5Mtpa of high-grade ore to Westgold’s Cue processing hub, supplementing ore feed from its nearby +1Mtpa Big Bell mine.

Highlights

  • Reef mining has recommenced at the historically significant Great Fingall
    Mine near Cue.
    First stope firing delivered grades averaging between 3-4 g/t Au.
    Great Fingall high-grade ore to boost production at Cue processing hub –
    complementing Big Bell’s volume contribution.
    Ramp-up underway toward steady-state production of ≈ 40ktpm from Great
    Fingall and Golden Crown by late FY27.
    Underground drilling continues – targeting mine life extensions and new targets
    beyond the current six-year plan.

Cabral Gold Drills New Mineralized Structure Connecting PDM and Central Gold Deposits, Cuiú Cuiú Gold District, Brazil

 

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 4, 2025) – Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQB: CBGZF) (“Cabral” or the Company“) is pleased to announce drill results from 17 shallow reconnaissance RC drill holes at the previously untested Mutum target located 1300 metres NW of the Central Gold deposit and 500 metres (“m”) SE of the PDM gold discovery within the Cuiú Cuiú district.

.

Highlights

  • The Company has identified a new and previously unrecognized mineralized structure which appears to extend for 1.8 kilometres (“km”) in a NW-SE direction and connects the Central gold deposit with the PDM gold discovery further to the north
  • Reconnaissance drill intercepts from the Mutum target, which is located 1.3km NW of the Central gold deposit and 500m SE of the PDM gold discovery, include 8m@ 1.32 grams per tonne(“g/t”) gold from 43m depth in RC0602,13m @ 0.83 g/t gold from 11m depth in RC0604, and multiple mineralized intervals including4m @ 0.76 g/t gold from 29m depth and4m @ 1.06 g/t gold from 41m depth in RC0603
  • The mineralized structure at Mutum was identified on the basis of a recent airborne drone magnetic survey over the area followed by follow up reconnaissance drilling. This survey revealed a clear NW-trending structural corridor that was not visible in earlier airborne data
  • The Company has subsequently purchased its own in-house drone magnetic system and intends to fly the entire Cuiú Cuiú district as quickly as possible in advance of additional reconnaissance drilling, particularly along the new NW trending structure linking PDM with Central

 

 

 

.

Alan Carter, Cabral’s President and CEO commented,

“The significance of the results from several of the shallow reconnaissance drill holes recently completed at the previously untested Mutum target at Cuiú Cuiúcannot be overstated.

 

“These drill results are from a previously untested area located 1.3km NW of the Central gold deposit and 500m SE of the PDM gold discovery, and indicate that a NW-trending mineralized structure extending for 1.8km connects the two deposits.

 

“This opens up a very large area of prospective ground between Central and PDM for follow up drilling.

 

“The drone magnetic test survey that we recently completed has generated a lot of high-resolution magnetic data that are much more effective at mapping mineralized structures than the existing fixed wing airborne data.

 

“This will generate important advances in our understanding of the structural controls on gold mineralization at other deposits and targets within the Cuiú Cuiú district.”

Meeka hits 23m @ 1.05g/t Au – Exploration Drilling Hits High-Grade Gold on the
Fairway

 

 

 

.

Meeka Metals (ASX: MEK) First pass exploration drilling delivers immediate results hitting high-grade gold at Rosapenna within the Fairway shear zone (between the Turnberry and St Anne’s mines) at the Murchison Gold Project (“Murchison”).

• Rosapenna Target: broad zones of high-grade gold intersected in exploration drilling at
this new target ~500m south of Turnberry within the Fairway shear zone. Results include:
o 23m @ 1.05g/t Au from 76m including 4m @ 4.67g/t Au (25TBRC112)
o 10m @ 1.95g/t Au from 71m including 1m @ 8.60g/t Au (25TBRC114) and
10m @ 0.58g/t Au from 119m (25TBRC114) and
4m @ 1.11g/t Au from 156m (25TBRC114)
o 3m @ 3.00g/t Au from 147m including 1m @ 5.02g/t Au (25TBRC133)
o 5m @ 1.58g/t Au from 92m including 1m @ 4.78g/t Au (25TBRC110)
o 6m @ 0.96g/t Au from 86m (25TBRC109)
o 5m @ 1.00g/t Au from 124m including 1m @ 2.92g/t Au (25TBRC113) (hole ends in
mineralisation)
o 3m @ 1.42g/t Au from 110m (25TBRC131)
• The current footprint of mineralisation at Rosapenna, 240m by 170m, is only limited by
drilling and remains open to the south, east and west. Pads are now being prepared for
additional drilling to the south of these results.
• These results from Rosapenna highlight the potential for new discovery within the Fairway shear zone. Fairway is a ~25km contact zone with a major regional structure that has had no drilling or ineffective, broad spaced reconnaissance RAB drilling from 1990’s and 2000’s.
• Fairway drilling remains ongoing, currently targeting the ~3km section between Turnberry and St Anne’s, including the southern extension of Rosapenna.
Turnberry South: additionally, new high-grade results from Turnberry South include:
o 17m @ 2.94g/t Au from 77m including 2m @ 19.29g/t Au (25TBRC121)
o 3m @ 10.96g/t Au from 53m (25TBRC087)
o 15m @ 2.05g/t Au from 138m including 4m @ 4.38g/t Au (25TBRC120)
o 11m @ 0.80g/t Au from 91m including 4m @ 1.58g/t Au (25TBRC107)

 

 

.

Meeka’s Managing Director Tim Davidson commented:

“The gold at Rosapenna highlights the broader growth opportunity available to us within a highly fertile but until now underexplored ~25km belt of Archean greenstones.

 

“We are now systematically drilling out this belt and these results support our thesis that there is a lot more gold to be found.”

City Investors Circle Mining Review 7th December 2025

 

A long week of conferences in London as Mining Week 2025 closed on Friday, after having three conferences in six days.

The week started with the Northern Miner Symposium (it sounds so much more sophisticated than conference does it not?) at the 121 venue at Houndsditch.

The event is a lot smaller than 121, and set on a different floor. There were around 20 companies exhibiting, so not a great deal of choice, and upon reviewing the list I was in two minds whether to attend at all.

I settled for arranging a few meetings after lunch on the final day, so I arrived just before lunch and then had a full afternoon.

Gunnison Copper enter the hall of infamy for keeping me waiting outside their booth whilst the previous meeting carried on. Meetings were only 15 minutes long, so after waiting for five minutes where I could clearly be seen, I left so as not to waste any more time. If they had a good meeting in progress, at least say so, I wouldn’t have minded.

 

——-

On the first day of Mines and Money I had a private investor annual lunch to attend, so my first experience was on day 2. Registration was easy, and no queues as it was the second day.

My impression is that it was smaller than last year. I had arranged a good number of meetings to comply with the five meeting free entry rule, although in all honesty there were few companies in the show that got my interest. I am selective these days, there’s no point in wasting everyone’s time if a company’s story doesn’t fit my investment criteria.

I had a few good meetings and a few potential new investments to consider, Dakota Gold being the standout for me.  It has an experienced successful CEO, Rob Quartermain, is located in a tier 1 jurisdiction, the USA, is a former producing gold mine steeped in history and production, is well funded and backed by institutions of the highest calibre.

I am reviewing the other companies I engaged with, and may add one or two to the watchlist. Dakota Gold is going on the Tier 3 watchlist as production is some three years away as it currently stands.

Barton Gold Reports Broad, High-Grade Assays Infill Tunkillia ‘S1’ Pit Area

Results emphasise Tunkillia grade potential in key features

 

Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD, OTCQB:BGDFF, FRA:BGD3) (Barton or Company) is pleased to announce first assay results from recent drilling at its South Australian Tunkillia Gold Project (Tunkillia).

These assays confirm broad new intervals of high-grade gold mineralisation which infill the central portion of Tunkillia’s S1 ‘Starter Pit’, emphasising the high-value nature of this zone to Tunkillia’s development.Commenting on the new Tunkillia assay results,

 

.
HIGHLIGHTS

• New assays support higher-grade model for Tunkillia S1 ‘Starter Pit’ mineralisation; infill drilling targeting conversion to JORC (2012) ‘Measured’ category to underwrite financing.
• Tunkillia ‘S1’ pit modelled to produce $825m operating profit in first year of operations
from average grade of 1.19 g/t Au – new broad, high-grade assays from this zone include:
Hole ID Interval Including:
TKB0267 14m @ 2.78 g/t Au from 88 metres 3m @ 6.97 g/t Au from 98 metres
TKB0269 28m @ 2.60 g/t Au from 129 metres 2m @ 20.9 g/t Au from 144 metres
TKB0282 27m @ 2.68 g/t Au from 60 metres, and
44m @ 3.68 g/t Au from 103 metres
2m @ 38.7 g/t Au from 73 metres
3m @ 23.5 g/t Au from 123 metres
TKB0285 47m @ 2.67 g/t Au from 97 metres 16m @ 5.03 g/t Au from 126 metres

1m @ 43.2 g/t Au from 154 metres
1m @ 37.1 g/t Au from 165 metres

 

Balance of assays from recent Tunkillia ‘Phase 1’ upgrade drilling expected during December 2025 and January 2026, with updated JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate by March 2026

 

 

Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:

“Tunkillia’s S1 pit contains the project’s highest grade mineralisation, ideally located in a shallower, central zone.

 

“Modelling indicates that this will yield over 200,000 gold ounces, generating over $800 million in operating free cash and paying back Tunkillia’s entire development cost more than 2x over during the first year of operations.

 

“This early phase of upgrade drilling was therefore designed to further de-risk this profile by infilling higher grade mineralisation to underwrite project finance.

 

“These results very much appear to support that objective, and also highlight the potential for the Tunkillia system to host very high grades within key structural features.

 

“We expect the balance of Phase 1 infill drilling assays by January, and are targeting the conversion of Tunkillia’s ‘S1’ and ‘S2’ optimised open pit mineralisation to JORC ‘Measured’ and ‘Indicated’ categories by March 2026.”

Northern Miner London Symposium November 2025

Took place at 133 Houndsditch for the second year in a row. This venue also hosts the 121 Mining Conferences. It’s a brisk walk from Aldgate station, and easy to find.

As London mining events go it was an intimate affair with around 20 mining companies present, as well as some illustrious visitors from the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame.

I only managed to find four companies of interest, and had good meetings with all of them.

I met Firefly for a catchup, and was impressed by the progress they are making at the Ming copper mine in Newfoundland. I don’t see an urgency to invest here yet, but it’s one that remans firmly on my watchlist.

My second meeting was with Firefly’s neighbour in Newfoundland, New Found Gold, a company that has has fallen from grace somewhat, with retail investors disappointed with the Mineral Resource Estimate. This has perhaps created an opportunity, I am going to review again before making a decision about investing.

I then met Brad O’Rourke of Scottie Resources, possibly the best presentation I saw all day. Scottie have moved forward and they plan to commence production in 2028, not too far away as we’re in 2026 in a months’ time.

What I like is the district scale of their project, with high-grade gold intercepts all over their project area.

My final meeting was with American Eagle Gold Corp. This looks a bit too early stage for my current focus, but I have added to my personal watchlist.

 

——-

 

So, in conclusion, the London Mining Symposium is a small mining conference with a handful of companies at the stage I prefer, with an interesting panel of experts, in a good venue. I plan to attend nest year.

Mining Review 23rd November 2025

A week dominated by the first mining conferences of the season in London and Zurich.

Mining stocks took a hammering, but I met a few new companies I like the look of and I feel merit further research.

——-

 

The 121 Mining Conference in London seemed well attended but it’s always hard to gauge because most booths have two company representatives, making estimating  the number of investors present difficult to assess.

I personally didn’t think it was so vibrant, but that’s probably because of the falling mining stock prices affecting my mood.

I had some interesting meetings though and am currently deciding whether to invest in any of the companies I met.

——-

I then met 55 North at a private luncheon presentation. This company is run by an experienced and successful mining CEO, Bruce Reid if Carlisle fame.

I like this story a lot and have decided to make an initial investment.

——-

The Zurich Mining Show was the largest to far, and filled the room. What I like about this show is that, unlike the PDAC, you can meet the company CEOs on their stand, rather than a university student filling in for a pittance.

All the companies at the show have substance, it’s not cheap to participate here, so early stage explorers in moose pasture are nowhere to be seen.

This makes for a good show and I had numerous meetings with solid companies. As a result I am reviewing three potential investments in new companies that look to have my key criteria, Tier 1 jurisdiction, strong management, funded to near term production in a project with scale.

Once I have reviewed the companies I will add any I think deserve inclusion into the watchlists.

Swiss Mining Conference

Swiss Mining Conference

Another day another mining conference, this one in Zurich, one of my favourites on the circuit.

I spoke with a CEO today whose company looks set to enter production late 2026, and feel it’s time to make an investment. That CEO is Alan Carter of Cabral Gold.

Alan is British, has invested a large amount of his personal money into Cabral, supporting the company when rising finance was really tough, and the company are now preparing for trial production commencing at the end of next year.

Cabral has arranged a gold swap, with a rate of 10% interest, to finance the building of the plant. This is a novel approach and sets Cabral apart from the crowd. One wonders whether this may be emulated by other miners in the future?

So, Cabral plan a new Mineral Resource Estimate during mid 2026, and then to enter trial production by year end. For me this is the sweet spot, as the company climbs the final hill on the Lassonde curve towards production and cashflow.

The amount of gold permitted to be mined under a Brazilian trial production licence is quite generous, and will allow Cabral to generate some meaningful cash, plus expand its exploration projects, which will ensure plenty of newsflow and no stock dilution moving forwards.

Cabral’s project is only 12 miles from G Mining Ventures’ newly opened producing TZ mine, and they look an obvious predator at some point, given the close proximity.

I am planning to personally invest in Cabral in the near future.

——-

 

Equinox Gold is a company I have not met for some time, so I was pleased to catchup with its IR guy today for the first time since the acquisition of Calibre mining to produce a solid mid-tier gold mining company with producing mines in five countries.

Equinox are running two large gold mines in Canada that are both starting up, with Valentine now up to commercial production, and Greenstone nearly there, but with a few teething troubles.

They are both throwing off cash, as are the former Calibre producing mines in Nicaragua.

The company has around $1.2 – $1.4 billion in debt, and the primary objective is to reduce that as fast as possible. The Pan gold mine in Nevada has been sold to Minera Alamos for around $115 million as a starter, and I feel the Nicaraguan mines may be next.

If the gold price remains at current levels, I feel the bulk of the debt will be gone by this time next year.

——-

 

One other mining company I met today that has a project I like is Cerro de Pasco Resources, with a polymetallic tailings project in Peru.

I like tailings projects because the hard work has already been done, the ore is sitting at surface so doesn’t have to be mined, reducing both costs and time.

The tailings in question are high-grade, and contain galium, a critical metal used to make microchips, and one on the USA’s critical list.

Still a bit early stage , but the forthcoming catalysts are the acquisition of the remaining tailings, with a high copper content, and the acquisition of the Vulcan owned mining plant close by.

Mining is critical to the town of Cerro de Pasco, high up in the Andes with no other large employer, and was built to provide labour for the mine.

This is a story I will follow closely for now.
