The KE Report

Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQX: DRYGF), joins me for an exploration update on some of the recent news releases with the most up-to-date drill results at the Elora-Jubilee and Big Master and trends at the Gold Rock Camp, and touching up on the Hyndman and Sherridon regional targets, across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

 

We start off discussing how this year’s exploration program is continuing to build up the high-grade drill results from last year’s drill program, confirming the thesis around the 3 geological deformation faults and folds at the Elora-Jubilee and Big Master trends at the Gold Rock Camp.

 

Drilling at Jubilee tested between 150 to 200 meters with the goal of collecting structural data to improve in predicting high-grade gold mineralization at depth. Deeper down-plunge testing will begin this summer, and a second drill rig will be deployed to continue to fully define the high-grade footprint at Gold Rock. The 2026 drill program has now expanded to 45,000 meters.

  

 

*Jubilee Drill Highlights:

 

Hole DGR-054 returned 2.92 g/t gold over 14.50 meters including 6.79 g/t gold over 5.00 meters also including two high-grade intercepts of 28.80 g/t gold over 0.40 meters and 15.30 g/t gold over 0.60 meters (Figure 1, Table 1).

Hole DGR-056 returned 2.48 g/t gold over 12.65 meters including 33.50 g/t gold over 0.50 meters.

Confirmation of the multiple hanging wall and footwall mineralized stacked structures across Gold Rock, including Hole DGR-053 intercepting 0.73 g/t gold over 9.58 meters.

 

Two drill holes, on the Big Master Gold System at Gold Rock, tested the near-surface mineralization above (up-dip) from the recent Sparrow discovery. The third hole intersected Barrelman on BM1 and Treasure on BM2 expanding these zones at depth. The latest results validate the Company’s exploration model and support an expanded 2026 drill program at Gold Rock. A second drill rig has been contracted and is scheduled for deployment on July 1.

 

*Big Master Drill Highlights:

 

Hole DGR-051 returned 3.24 g/t gold over 14.77 meters including 29.55 g/t gold over 1.35 meters at Sparrow 88.00 meters from surface.

Hole DGR-052 returned 1.02 g/t gold over 13.50 meters including 8.88 g/t gold over 1.00 meter also at Sparrow 125.00 meters from surface.

Hole DGR-057 expanded mineralization at both Treasure and Barrelman.

 

 

*Maura encouraged investors to further inspect these drill results within the context of 3D modeling tools over at Mining Hub:

We expanded the conversation to review the potential for similar look-alike types of deposits to exist along the multi-kilometer Gold Rock mineralized trend, in a “string-of-pearls” thesis, where the Mud Lake area will be the next target tested with drilling in 2026.

 

We touch upon the initial groundwork and drilling at the Hyndman regional area, with a lot of follow up work underway based on the exploration results released back on April 21st.   Maura reiterated the importance of the large soil sampling and channel sampling programs across their district-scale land package, and how it will inform follow up targeting, when used in concert with geophysical surveys.

Craig Hemke, founder and editor of the TF Metals Report, joins me to reflect on the technical outlook and fundamental factors fueling the longer-term precious metals bull market, after the market bloodbath and strong corrective move to end last week in gold, silver, and the precious metals equities. He breaks down what aspects have be pressuring the precious metals complex over the last few months, culminating the extreme selling we saw at the end of last week; and what this all means for shorter-duration traders versus longer-term buy-and-hold macro-investors as we look ahead.

 

Key Discussion Points:

 

The Aftermath Of Fridays Chart Damage: Gold, (GDX), (GDXJ), (SIL), and (SILJ) all saw pricing on their charts pierce down through the 200-day moving average support to end last week on June 5th. Silver went down and tagged the 200-day, but then dropped below it today in Monday’s trading session on June 8th; before closing back above it again.

(GDX) Testing The 200-day SMA In Mid-May Was The Early Warning Signal:  Craig mentioned that Gold and the other precious metals ETFs losing their 200-day moving average support levels over the last few trading sessions shouldn’t have been a surprise; because the GDX already dipped below this level a couple of weeks back.  He told his subscribers that this was likely coming for gold and silver next, and that is what we’ve seen play out.

Jobs, Inflation, and Manufacturing Data Could Be Setting Up Rate Hikes: While the markets spent the last year convinced we’d see a series of further rate cuts from the Fed and other central banks, the economic data has turned that narrative on its head and now the Fed funds futures markets are not anticipating any cuts, but rather rate hikes by year end.

Central Bank Buying Remains The Prime Mover For Gold: After consistent buying from central banks for the last few years, shifted to a few central banks like Turkey and the UAE central banks to start selling gold to address liquidity challenges and stabilize their currencies, the pricing trends followed.  Craig remains encouraged that China has been picking up the slack buying record amounts of gold over the last few months. Additionally, Turkey may be starting to shift back to buying gold again, and other nations with low or no gold reserves may get onto the bid to purchase more gold.

The Great Rotation Out Of Bonds And Into Gold Cuts Both Ways: We discussed that as more individuals and nations sell US treasuries to rotate into gold as a reserve asset, that it helps underpin buying in gold but simultaneously raises interest rates which pressures gold. Craig helps parse out those to forces at work in the markets, and how Fed policy may respond to keep the system afloat. 

Gold and Silver Producers Sold Off Hard, Ignoring Strong Fundamentals: Even though its been only a few weeks since most precious metals producers reported record Q1 earnings, and Q2 appears to still be one of their strongest quarters in historic terms, the miners were sold without mercy into the end of last week, and that is after having already corrected hard over the last few months.

Navigating Algo Trading and Machine-driven Market Volatility: Craig doesn’t believe the extreme selling in gold, silver, or the PM equities, last week or even over the last few months has been resource investors parsing out the fundamentals and throwing in the towel.  Instead he believes that high-frequency trading algos keep triggering the selling patterns based off interest rates and currencies moves, war headlines, and expectations that central banks will tighten monetary policies.   Once the algos start selling, then that selling triggers other machine trading selling, and the waterfall declines show up on the charts.

Gold Is A Long-Term Store Of Value Preserving Purchasing Power:   Craig wraps us up sharing why he believes the longer-term fundamentals for gold have not changed and are just as strong today as they were at the end of last year or the early spike this year.  He makes the point that gold is the true measuring stick of how much purchasing power that national fiat currencies are losing over time, and that is unlikely to change over the fullness of time. He still anticipates that gold and silver prices will keep rising over time, as fiat units deteriorate, and thus this will translate into higher valuations in the PM equities for patient investors.

Matt Lennox-King, Chairman and CEO of Intrepid Metals Corp. (TSXV: INTR) (OTCQB: IMTCF), joins us for comprehensive introduction to this exploration company focused on copper, gold, silver, and zinc, in established mining jurisdictions in southeastern Arizona, USA.

 

The Company's portfolio is anchored by the Corral Copper Property, an advanced exploration-stage, district-scale system with extensive drilling and significant shallow results showing CRD-style mineralization, but also now testing for porphyry-style mineralization at depth, and epithermal gold mineralization near surface.  The Company also has the Tombstone South Project with prospective CRD-style  silver, lead, and zinc mineralization.

 

Matt outlines that at the Corral Project there has been roughly 50,000 meters of historic drilling by other operations, that has then been complimented by ~10,500 meters of drilling by Intrepid the last few years at the Holliday, Earp, and Ringo targets, mostly focused on the near-surface CRD mineralization.  They are going to be completing an IP survey over the property in August, with the goal to get the data back and analyzed by September, and then start testing the porphyry targets at depth later in the year.  We discussed that Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe Electric have land adjacent to either side of Corral for the CRD and porphyry potential.

 

With regards to the gold epithermal target at Mattie, the company just announced completion of the initial geological mapping and geochemical components of its ongoing 2026 Phase 1 Exploration Program. Based on encouraging early-stage field observations and the identification of additional prospective target areas, the Company has expanded the scope of the Program to include additional rock sampling and a new soil sampling grid over parts of the Property. 

 

Then on Tombstone South the company anticipates doing more ground exploration to come up with 2-4 targets for deeper drilling later in the year to further test the prospectivity of the CRD thesis.

 

Wrapping up Matt shares his experience in the sector, a few key board members, their strategic stakeholders, which includes Teck Resources, and the strong balance sheet with $20 million in the treasury to execute on this current program and to expand the programs into next year.
