The KE Report

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review the value proposition that has his attention in 3 junior gold and copper exploration stocks, that have put out compelling news in the recent past and that have key alpha growth catalysts on tap in the medium-term.

 

The companies we discussed in the interview are:

 

BCM Resources Corporation (TSXV: B) – On August 6th the Company announced that diamond drill hole TK20, currently in progress, has encountered over 550 m of strongly mineralized porphyry and intercalated skarn mineralization at its 100% controlled Thompson Knolls project, Utah. Hole TK20 is a vertical drill hole collared 208 m northeast of discovery hole TK8 that intercepted 510 ft (155.4 m) of mineralized skarn grading 0.66% Cu, 0.12 gpt Au, and 7.4 gpt Ag (please refer to a Company news release dated May 24, 2023 for more information). Drilling of TK20, currently at a depth of 4,062 ft (1,238.4 m), is ongoing in mineralized rock. 

 

PJX Resources Inc. (TSX.V: PJX) (OTC: PJXRF) – On July 23, 2026 the Company announced the close of the second tranche of their non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $6.3 million. This financing will allow PJX to focus on two priority discovery opportunities for critical metals and gold in an established Canadian mining district. An initial 4,000 m drill program has commenced to test for a potential Sullivan-style Sedimentary Exhalative (Sedex) critical-metals discovery on the Dewdney Trail Property. At the Zinger Property, prospecting, mapping and surface sampling for gold are underway at the Gar target in advance of receiving permits to drill a potential Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) for the first time.

 

Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) – On Aug. 10, the Company reported assay results that confirm the expansion of the Golden Gate Zone to the Northeast by 320 meters of the previously known gold mineralization on its 100% owned Golddigger Property Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The Golden Gate Zone remains open laterally and at depth.

 

Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Advisor to Goliath and Strategic Investor commented: “When I spoke with the Company prior to this drill season, they made it abundantly clear that a considerable number of the planned drill holes would test extensions of various lode systems at the Surebet Discovery. Given that there remains exceptional opportunity to grow the systems high-grade gold footprint, I was delighted to hear this. We are now seeing the impact of this strategic decision. Drill hole GD-26-420 encountered a 6.51 g/t AuEq over 5.73 meters across the Golden Gate lode in a position 320 meters northeast of its previous limit. I believe we will continue to see many further drill extensions over the course of the rest of the 2026 and the Surebet Discovery is only going to keep on growing with every drill program.”

 

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “Our team is performing like a well-oiled machine. The goal of this 2026 drilling campaign is expansion and the directional drilling being utilized is paying off with the step outs being successful. The 320-meter step out of Golden Gate to the northeast is one example and nice surprise along the way. It is worth noting the amount of visible gold to the naked eye in the drill holes since we started drilling the Surebet discovery is unique, as well high-grade gold systems are not known to have such large footprints. After over 400+ drill holes have been completed to date the system remains open laterally and at depth. Grass roots high-grade gold systems tend to get challenging to grow them. But Surebet discovery is the opposite, we are challenging the geology and having no problems growing the system with aggressive step outs. The cadence of drill holes getting to the lab for assays is ideal, and we hope to have plenty more assay results throughout the rest of the year and into 2027.”

Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQX: DRYGF), joins us for a comprehensive exploration update at numerous areas of focus across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.  We touch upon some of the recent news releases returning more high-grade and disseminated gold drill results at the Elora-Jubilee and Big Master along new parallel trends, the upcoming drilling at Mud Lake, a new land acquisition expanding the Gold Rock Camp trend, and various teams working on more ground truthing and surface exploration on the Hyndman and Sherridon regional targets.

 

We start off discussing how this year’s expanded 45,000-meter drill program is continuing to build up the high-grade 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. There are now up to 15 parallel structures that have been delineated along this trend, and more recent results showing the geological model getting more refined.

 

On July 29th the Company announced recent drill results that confirm the discovery of two new gold-bearing structures at Gold Rock. A new high-grade mineralized structure between Elora and the Big Master gold systems, which was intercepted at 250-500 meters true depth being dubbed "Elora 2". Like the multiple mineralized hanging wall structures, this new structure has no surface expression. The mineralization is comparable to the brecciated quartz veining found at Big Master. The consistency of the structural setting and mineralization, along strike and at depth, supports the interpretation that this represents a significant mineralized corridor and not merely another hanging wall structure. A second structure was discovered in a single drill hole at the historic Paymaster target. Deeper down-plunge testing is about to commence with a second drill rig will be deployed to continue to fully define the structural controls and high-grade gold footprint at Gold Rock.

 

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.  On July 16th, the Company announced having received the permits to drill the Mud Lake area to test extension targets identified through its 2025 drill program and geological mapping. Surface samples collected on a high-grade shear zone similar to Elora, where a significant fold in the mineralized structure occurs, assayed 93.00 g/t gold. There is also another new area of interest that could be a look-alike zone to the Southwest of the Elora-Jubilee system along this large trend in the Gold Rock Camp.

 

On July 6th the Company announced that is has entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% ownership of 123 tenured mineral claims known as the Lost Lake Property from Orebot Inc, an arm’s length party. Lost Lake is strategically located in the historic Gold Rock Mining Camp and is surrounded by the Company’s existing claims.

 

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.
