Mining Review 12th October 2025

Orla Mining announced a potential significant discovery at Musselwhite.

Capricorn Metals and Erdene Resource Development both announced updated resources in a generally positive week for mining stocks.

——-

The price of gold holding above $4,000 and silver reaching an all time high kept the price of most producing precious metal mining companies near their recent highs. Some Australian companies lost around 5% in Friday trading due to a fall in the gold price, only for that to reverse later in the day, benefitting TSX listed stocks.

The price of copper remains around recent highs, and tungsten is still strong due to its military applications.

——-

My portfolio suffered a bit of pain this past week as some mining stocks, even gold producers, fell away badly after the gold price appeared to top out and fall back.

The late rally past $4,000 will, hopefully, mean a strong day on the ASX on Monday, and that may restore some of the Friday losses on that market. My portfolio was at an all-time high just before the pullback.

I met management from Stallion Uranium and made a small investment afterwards as the company are well funded, have prospective ground in the Athabasca Basin, and have a drill program scheduled to commence in January.

Erdene Resource Development Zuun MRE Update

Erdene Resource Development (TSX: ERD)

Announced an updated mineral resource estimate for its 100% owned Zuun Mod molybdenum-copper porphyry project, located in the Khundii Minerals District, in southwestern Mongolia.

The updated resource estimate, when compared to the previous, demonstrates a significant increase.

.

Erdene Resource Development Corp. (TSX:ERD; MSE:ERDN; OTCQB:ERDCD) (“Erdene” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce an updated mineral resource estimate for its 100% owned Zuun Mod molybdenum-copper porphyry project, located in the Khundii Minerals District, in southwestern Mongolia.

HIGHLIGHTS

100% owned license hosts one of Asia’s largest undeveloped molybdenum-copper deposits
Only 35 kilometers from Erdene Mongol’s Bayan Khundii Gold Mine in region of growing infrastructure and 180 kilometres from China, the world’s largest molybdenum consumer
The updated resource estimate, when compared to the previous, demonstrates a significant increase:
- 22% increase in Measured and Indicated molybdenum (“Mo”) resources to 333 million pound (“Mlbs”) and 95% increase in Inferred Mo resources to 300 Mlbs
- 16% increase in Measured and Indicated copper (“Cu”) resources to 384 Mlbs and 75% increase in Inferred Cu resources to 350 Mlbs
Substantial exploration upside within very large molybdenum-copper and copper-silver porphyry complex
Drilling planned in Q4 2025 to test expansion opportunities and copper targets

.

Peter Akerley, Erdene’s President and CEO commented,

“We are very pleased to report the updated resource, confirming Zuun Mod as one of Asia’s largest undeveloped molybdenum-copper projects.

“The project is located less than 200 kilometres from the world’s largest molybdenum and copper consumer and steel producer, in a region seeing rapid infrastructure build-out, including Erdene’s Bayan Khundii Gold Mine.

“Molybdenum is highly valued as a critical mineral with growing demand in the advanced electronics, aerospace and defense sectors and expanding processing capacity in the region. The outlook for molybdenum is bullish and production from Zuun Mod is expected to be readily absorbed in the market.

“With an improved understanding of geologic and structural controls of the deposit, several opportunities for enhancement and expansion have materialized. Drilling is planned in Q4 to test these opportunities as well as copper targets in the northern portion of the porphyry complex.

“As we define the deposit further, we are continuing to progress marketing and technical studies to advance the project.”

Comment

This is just the sort of company I like to invest in, commencing production, with a funded large exploration program, in a highly prospective gold and copper belt.

The jurisdiction is Mongolia, which I would classify as tier 2 or 3, but management have moved the company through exploration into production which suggests relations with the government are good.

Lastly, their projects offer the potential for scale, which is another preference of mine.

I have just made an investment and am looking to add a few more when funds become available if management continue to deliver.
