The guardian initiated a position in $NAMM yesterday. Thanks for finding this one @realTimHack.

Although I have great admiration for @realTimHack, you have to know when to take some chips off the table in the short term. And especially not vocally advocate for the correction in #gold and #silver being over. Bond yields were simply too high, and as the guardian expected, the gold and silver pullback has continued to start the week. I am currently 70% cash, and look forward to doing some Black Friday sale shopping soon on my favorite miners soon.

I feel that Tims comment is quite silly. He has been blown up before. I would be much more worried of a draw down in this high rate environment that spills over to christmas. Winter is coming

$GWM.V was my largest position, at over 50% of the PF. I held for a long time through the tough MRE and was continuously pounding the table on the investment thesis. It was interesting to read Michael Gentiles email on Galway this morning, which had many of the same reasons for my initial investment (low drilling costs, the value of Estrades, great infrastructure). I'm glad to say that my patience paid off and I have started to trim my position to a more reasonable size. What's even more exciting is that miners have pulled back quite hard, and the guardian is locked and loaded and ready to unleash his firepower. $gold solana:HpWGRTs5x2pmWrGKpD5cXpZhja1uuXbPBqf7kYo2mz86
It can be argued based on Estrades value that the current EV/OZ is closer to US$15/oz. This is dirt cheap and before an updated MRE that already has 2.26 million ounces (primarily open pit) at 2.47 g/t (high grade for open pit). The last MRE was also done at $1650 gold 😂 $GWM.V

Existing infrastructure, an existing resource combined with exploration drilling and positive moves regarding First Nations in the last few days are enough to pique the guardians interest. Excited to see how this one pans out!
$GLDC.V: I recently published Cassiar Gold on my Substack at C$0.45. I think the company is a great buy for this Q4 of 2026. The thesis is simple: -The stock trades cheaper than its peers at the pre-PEA stage, even though it has several reasons to trade at a higher value per ounce. Today Cassiar has 2.34 Moz at 1.01 g/t and trades at ~US$20/oz on EV. Canadian peers with a resource and no economic study trade at ~US$34/oz on average. The main asset is the Taurus deposit at Cassiar North, and that's where almost all the long-term value is. -Yes, Taurus has a higher % of Inferred ounces than its peers (~83%). But look at what the deposit is: one very big open pit, not a cluster of satellite pits. That means one pit, one waste dump and one plant for the whole resource. It's bulk tonnage, with good grade for this kind of system (1.01 g/t at a 0.40 g/t cut-off, versus 0.7-0.9 g/t at most peers). 81% of the tonnage is within 100m of surface, and there are very high-grade zones that could matter a lot in the first years of production. Bulk-tonnage potential, real near surface, single-deposit, and already permitted (they need to update the permits).On top of that it sits next to Highway 37 with grid power already connected, which removes a big part of the capex surprises you usually get in northern BC. -Then you have Cassiar South, a secondary asset in the historic Cassiar camp. It has a 300 tpd mill already built and ~25km of underground development. They're trying to restart it in 2028 for US$30-40M of capex, producing 30-60k oz of gold per year. The CEO puts the replacement value of the South infrastructure alone at C$200M+, against a company worth ~C$75M. It's already permitted but in care and maintenance, so they need to update the permits, not get them from zero, and that shouldn't be a problem. A greenfield project needs a decade to cover that same ground. -Peers trade ~50% higher per ounce than my entry point. That case alone gives you ~50% upside, and it needs nothing else: no premium, no new ounces, no higher gold price, no PEA. Only for the market to stop discounting Cassiar more harshly than the companies next to it. -But the PEA is also coming in November, and Q4 is full of potential catalysts. With the PEA they'll update the MRE. It will probably include ~10km of drilling, mostly step-out, and probably lower the cut-off grade to 0.3 g/t, which is much more realistic with gold where it is today. That should take us to 3+ Moz. The updated MRE alone makes the stock even cheaper, because you get more ounces for the same market cap. Then the PEA adds value per ounce on top. It's the first time anyone puts cash flows, NPV, IRR and capex on Taurus, and it moves Cassiar out of the bucket the market prices only on ounces. -To get a sense of what the project could be worth, I built my own model of Taurus from scratch while we wait for the PEA. It's my approximate estimate. It's a 15,000 t/d open pit, with costs and capex benchmarked line by line to a comparable engineered study in BC. The key point: I did it only with the current 2.34 Moz. It does NOT include the resource expansion that will probably come with the updated MRE. That means no ounces from the 10km of drilling and no lower cut-off. On top of that I only convert 75% of the resource into mill feed, I run the grade flat at 1.01 g/t with no high-grading in the first years. Even so, the post-tax NPV5 comes out at ~US$2.1B at US$4,500 gold (54% IRR) and ~US$1.4B at US$3,500. That's ~C$15 of NPV per share against a C$0.45 stock, so the market is potentially paying ~3% of the project's present value according to my own computations. If you add the 3+ Moz I expect after the MRE update and mine the higher grade first, the NPV goes up from this initial scenario. None of that upside is in my base case. -Why I think this PEA is more predictable than most: it's one simple, continuous deposit, open pit only, no underground component, on flat ground. Road, power and permits are usually the three things that blow up a first study in BC, and here they're largely in place. -In Q4 we get drill results, metallurgical results, the updated MRE (lower cut-off plus the new drilling) together with the PEA, a potential JV confirmation for Cassiar South, and potentially the results of the internal studies on Cassiar South restart. That's a lot of news flow for a company that today has little volume and few eyes on it and that is cheaper than rest imho. -If we get a bit lucky, the Cassiar South JV could happen this Q4 and we get some nice cash for Cassiar Gold. Imagine that right after a successful PEA they tell the market: "we're fully funded for the PFS, don't worry about dilution for now." It would rerate even more, because the market isn't expecting that and dilution is exactly what usually caps these stocks after a PEA. And market potentially will see that the company will raise at a lot higher valuations. Also, there are already 7.27M warrants in the capital structure that can only be exercised if a JV or transaction happens at Cassiar South. That tells you the company has always treated a partner there as a real option. Lets see if it happens. It's really hard to find stocks that trade below their peers, have real reasons to trade at a premium, and have imminent, important de-risking catalysts. This is a medium-term rerate buy imho. Not investment advice. Make your own DD.

Yep follow through Friday definitely happened $TUF.V
Don is impressed with $TUF.V's PEA and with a negative silver AISC I can't say I blame him. I have a feeling we will see a follow through Friday for Honey Badger tomorrow as the market digests this PEA.

A 300M oz deposit at 450 gpt AGEQ with a negative AISC will do that. 😉

Clarence Stream already arguable contains the best open pit deposits in the world with massive growth potential, including South-Limb, as well as underground expansion potential. Stock is trading 4X below peers.
Galway Metals says the interpreted 6-kilometre South-Limb Target Trend highlights the growth potential at Clarence Stream, connecting the Company's two largest known gold deposits. 👉 stockmkt.info/4303GI4 ___ 🇨🇦 TSXV: $GWM.V | 🇺🇸 OTCQB: $GAYMF #GoldMining

It can be argued based on Estrades value that the current EV/OZ is closer to US$15/oz. This is dirt cheap and before an updated MRE that already has 2.26 million ounces (primarily open pit) at 2.47 g/t (high grade for open pit). The last MRE was also done at $1650 gold 😂 $GWM.V
$GWM.V $GAYMF - GALWAY METALS INC. I took a new position in GWM. The new MRE should be out in the coming weeks. Management Angle + Hinch has been personally buying every year since 2023, most recently at C$0.45-0.475. No insider selling has been reported, while buying continued. That's a credible signal. Multiple Angle + The company is currently priced at roughly $19/oz EV/oz against a peer set of advanced Tier 1 Canadian gold explorers trading at $55–88/oz, despite Clarence Stream carrying 2.31–4.03 g/t grades that are above most of those peers. + That gap exists because the only public MRE on file was calculated in 2022 at a $1,650/oz gold cut-off — a number that has nothing to do with a $4,000+ gold tape. + Re-pricing the same ounces at a current cut-off mechanically expands the pit shell, pulls in previously sub-economic tonnage at the margins, and gives the market a reason to apply a $40–80/oz multiple instead of $19/oz. Resource Angle + Since 2022 there is genuine resource growth: 342 holes and 69,556 metres drilled since 2022, plus the Stewart Zone (2021 discovery, zero ounces in the current MRE) being incorporated for the first time. That's new tonnage on top of the re-rated multiple. + The post-2022 drill record has been genuinely strong and getting stronger — 20.7 g/t over 11.0m at Southwest (May 2026), 6.1 g/t over 19.0m at South (April 2026), an extreme 110 g/t over 1.0m pod confirming bonanza-grade zones, a fourth rig added in March. + The May 28 geophysics corridor between South and Southwest is the first real evidence the deposits might be structurally connected rather than three separate pods, which would support a blowout read. Timing Angle + The MRE was formally commenced February 5, 2026 with end-Q2 2026 guidance. Today is June 16 — that leaves 14 days against a June 30 deadline that the company itself set. + I'd put it at roughly 80% chance of in-line to good results, and a 20% chance of disappointing results. + Good results could make GWM rerate from $19/oz EV/oz to $40-$55/oz and blowout results to $55–88/oz. DYODD.

Resource per ounce ✅ McFarlane Lake: ~4.18Moz gold resource at Juby ✅ 1.01Moz indicated at 0.98 g/t Au ✅ 3.17Moz inferred at 0.89 g/t Au ✅ At ~C$82M market cap, that is roughly C$20/oz on total resource ✅ Galway Metals: ~2.26Moz gold resource at Clarence Stream ✅ 0.92Moz indicated at 2.31 g/t Au ✅ 1.33Moz inferred at 2.60 g/t Au ✅ At ~C$80M market cap, that is roughly C$35/oz on total Clarence Stream resource ✅ But Galway’s ounces are much higher grade Winner: McFarlane on raw ounces per dollar. Quality adjustment: Galway wins on grade.

I've started due diligence on Surge Battery Metals ($NILI.V) and taking a look at some Lithium comparables in Nevada. News was announced into the close today that a strategic buyer had been found for a number of warrants, that will add an additional $7 million to the treasury. The setup is starting to look too cheap to ignore, especially with the most recent financing completed at C$0.90 and the company having since released an upgraded Mineral Resource Estimate. Credit to @RagingBuffaloX as well for highlighting the depth of the team behind the company.
