The KE Report

[Recorded 10-30-2026 at NOIC]  Robert Quartermain, Co-Chairman and Director of Dakota Gold (NYSE American: DC), joins us live at the New Orleans Investment Conference to unpack the recent news on drill assays and metallurgical results, which will feed into the trade-off studies and upcoming economic studies for their Richmond Hill Oxide Heap Leach Gold Project; located in the historic Homestake District of South Dakota.  We also discuss how the Maitland Gold Project provides the next project in their development pipeline; painting the big-picture growth vision of the Company.

 

We start off with a broad update reviewing recent drill results from the 2026 exploration program, and the metallurgical test results, which will be incorporated into the updated Resource Estimate and Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) targeted for Q4. We also have Bob outline some of the key design decisions and trade-off studies factoring into the Feasibility Study economics slated for mid-2027.

 

Dakota Gold has completed the PFS trade-off evaluation of the primary crushing options and selected a 0.5-inch (12.7-millimeter) design crush size. Recent metallurgical testing indicated modeled ultimate gold recovery for oxide material averaged 80.4% at a 0.5-inch crush size, compared with 75.9% at a 1-inch crush size.

The updated resource informing the PFS will incorporate 333 drill holes completed in 2025 and 2026, representing 30% more drilling data from the prior resource, and will be entirely focused on oxide material. The PFS will exclude transition material, which represented roughly 18% of the heap leach material in the prior resource.

The Company has also selected a single heap-leach facility located generally within the area identified for Phase 1 in the IACF, rather than the multiple conceptual heap-leach areas previously considered. The consolidated configuration will simplify material handling and solution management, optimize operations, and consolidate the geotechnical design and monitoring program within one operational area.

 

Wrapping up, Bob highlights how the Maitland Gold Project, will give the Company a solid second development project to with mineralization similar to the Homestake Mine, which is along trend, and provides the potential for future growth in their operations and production within this prolific mining jurisdiction.

[Recorded 10-29-2026 at NOIC] Tim Shearcroft, CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSX.V: BPAG) (OTCQB: BPSCF), joins me to review the newest assay results from its ongoing Phase 2 diamond drilling program at the Cosuño Silver Project, in Bolivia. These are additional assay results from two diamond drill holes that were stepping out from the prior hole at the Jalsuri North Target, and continue to intersect significant silver and gold mineralization, in addition to broad intervals of zinc mineralization.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

High-grade silver-gold mineralization: Drill hole CO-0019 intersected 10.0 meters ("m") grading 183.62 g/t silver and 0.59 g/t gold (239.65 g/t silver equivalent), including 2.0 m grading 506.50 g/t silver and 1.08 g/t gold (600.04 g/t silver equivalent) starting at 3.0 m depth.

Additional high-grade silver-gold mineralization: Within the upper mineralized zone, a 5.0 m interval from 4.0 to 9.0 m returned 294.00 g/t silver and 0.81 g/t gold (369.68 g/t silver equivalent).

Broad zinc mineralization: Drill holes CO-0016 and CO-0019 intersected zinc-mineralization throughout their entire lengths.
CO-0019 also intersected a broad lower zone grading 2.49% zinc equivalent over 100.0 m.

 

Tim goes on to unpack how these results factor into the larger exploration initiatives from the sampling, mapping, geological surveys, and other Phase 1 and Phase 2 results thus far.   We discuss what the follow-up process will be at Jalsuri North and Jalsuri Northeast, where other holes have been drilled that are still awaiting assays. 

 

We also reviewed the recent high-grade results at Pocañita Chica from CO-0013, and how the company is currently drilling to undercut the prior holes drilled CO-008 and CO-009 during Phase 1 drilling to test the potential deeper feeder zones.

 

Wrapping up we also discussed the future initiatives to do first pass drilling at the larger Pocañita Grande target as part of this Phase 2 drilling.    There will also be incoming IP survey data that gets paired with all prior drilling, to then set up the targeting for Phase 3 drilling early in the new year.

While major equity indices hover deceptively near all-time highs, market breadth tells a vastly different story. Underneath the surface, rapid sector rotations, stubborn inflation signals, and Treasury yields settling into a "higher for longer" regime are throwing equity and commodity markets into flux. In this two-part episode, technical strategist Rick Bensignor and resource analyst Brian Leni dissect why headline indices mislead investors, what technical warnings are flashing across crude oil and gold, and how to position your cash into asymmetric, catalyst-driven opportunities without falling into emotional traps. 

 

Segment 1 & 2 - Rick Bensignor, President of Bensignor Investment Strategies, kicks off the show to provide a technical and macro outlook across various asset classes. He analyzed pullback risks in energy and metals, persistent sector rotations within the broader equity market, and argued that a higher-for-longer interest rate regime will continue to challenge non-yielding assets.
