Mining Review 8th March 2026

Catalyst Metals and Ora Banda Mining posted strong H1 results.

Fuerte Metals and Orla Mining advanced their development projects.

Gold stocks in my portfolio were mainly down as a result of the 2% fall in price of the gold. I am not taking any action, as Charlie Munger once said, “time in the market beats timing the market”.

In my experience that is mainly the case, over time the markets rise, and I have never been good at trying to time trades so sitting and holding is my preferred method of increasing my portfolio value.

 

+++++++

 

The price of gold fell in US dollar terms, but the UK pound price actually increased as a result of a fall in the value of the pound versus the dollar.

This highlights the store of value offered by gold to investors in a country such as the UK where the government is felt to be running the economy down, and in a way negative to growth and business entrepreneurship.

Silver and palladium took huge hits, dropping 9.95% and 12.16% respectively.

n general this was another week of precious metals volatility, despite the US and Israeli attacks on Iran continuing, and the price of oil rising fast.

Fuerte Metals Awards Contract for the Coffee Gold Project’s Northern Access Route Construction

March 4, 2026

Vancouver, British Columbia – March 4, 2026 – Fuerte Metals Corporation (TSXV: FMT, OTCQB:FUEMF) (“Fuerte” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the award of the construction contract for the Northern Access Route (“NAR”), which will connect the Company’s flagship Coffee Gold Project (“Coffee” or the “Project”) to the City of Dawson and the Yukon highway network.

The NAR contract has been awarded to Cobalt Construction Inc. and represents a significant milestone for Coffee. Cobalt Construction is actively working with Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in to explore collaboration on this important aspect of the development of the Project, to reflect a cooperative approach between a Yukon-based contractor, a First Nation partner, and Fuerte.

The NAR marks the first stage of early infrastructure development, positioning the Company to make a final construction decision, anticipated in early 2027 following the release of an updated Feasibility Study and receipt of final mine permits.

The Northern Access Route is designed to provide safe and reliable access to the Coffee Gold Project and will be constructed in accordance with regulatory requirements and environmental and social commitments.

Equipment staging is underway, taking advantage of seasonal access windows, and construction activities will begin once the appropriate permits are issued by the Government of Yukon, who have guided toward permit issuance this spring.

 

.

Tim Warman, CEO of Fuerte, stated:

“Awarding the Northern Access Route construction contract is an important step forward for Coffee.

 

“We are proud to be working alongside Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and Cobalt Construction in delivering this critical infrastructure.

 

“This collaboration reflects our commitment to responsible development, local participation, and building strong partnerships in the Yukon.

 

“Yukoners will directly benefit from the work, and the Company will benefit from the deep knowledge of the region that our partners bring.

 

“With mobilization already underway, we are positioning the project for success as we move towards a final construction decision early next year.”

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.
