The KE Report

In this Daily Editorial, Cory and Shad chat with Marc Chandler, Chief Market Strategist at Bannockburn Capital Markets and editor of the Marc to Market website. Marc breaks down the sharp market reactions following midterm elections, evaluating whether current asset moves reflect genuine trend reversals or knee-jerk sentiment across global equities, fixed income, energy, and foreign exchange markets.

Post-Election Tech Pressures and the AI Narrative: How local ballot initiatives targeting data centers combined with broader sector fatigue to trigger steep weekly declines in semiconductor equities.

Energy Market Pullback and Geopolitical Skepticism: Why crude oil dropped sharply following political shifts and whether markets are prematurely pricing in an immediate de-escalation of overseas conflicts.

Bond Market Dynamics and Falling Treasury Yields: A look into what has fueled a multi-week retreat in long-term yields despite resilient headline economic readings.

The Federal Reserve's Policy Path: How strong employment figures and incoming inflation metrics influence the likelihood of a December rate hike and the trajectory for future meetings.

Macro Policy Continuity and the US Dollar Outlook: Why persistent budget deficits, tariff frameworks, and international growth differentials point to continued greenback resilience.

As midterm political shifts collide with global structural deficits, CPM Group’s Jeff Christian and Energy Prospectus Group’s Dan Steffens explain why paper sell-offs are masking massive physical realities in precious metals and energy. 

 

Segment 1 & 2 - Jeff Christian, Managing Partner at CPM Group, kicks off the show discussing how gold and silver are poised to resume their long-term secular bull market following a 10-month decline. He attributes this anticipated rebound primarily to escalating global economic, financial, and political turmoil, as well as private investor demand, rather than to traditional macro correlations or central bank purchases alone.

Segment 3 & 4 -Dan Steffens, President of the Energy Prospectus Group, discusses the recent sharp pullback in oil prices, emphasizing that tight physical supply fundamentals and strong corporate balance sheets remain intact despite market volatility. He highlights investment opportunities in dividend-paying royalty companies like Viper Energy, analyzes growth trends and M&A potential in the Canadian energy sector, and outlines catalysts for the natural gas market, including winter weather demand and expanding LNG export capacity.

Shawn Howarth, President and CEO of Excellon Resources (TSXV:EXN) (OTCQB:EXNRF)(FRA:E4X2), joins me to celebrate the milestone of initial concentrate revenues generated during pre-commissioning at its 100%-owned Mallay Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine in central Peru. During the quarter, the Company completed three test milling campaigns at the Mallay concentrator and has selected a new mining contractor to lead the next phase of the mine's ramp-up.  We go on to discuss those next phases of ramp-up process into commercial production during H1 of next year, the exploration targets at Mallay and Tres Cerros, and other corporate derisking initiatives.

 

Highlights:

 

First revenues received: US$4.4 million has been collected to date on the initial concentrate shipments under the Company's offtake agreement with Glencore.

Three Pre-Commissioning Milling Campaigns Completed: 19,884 tonnes processed and 52,860 ounces of silver recovered in concentrate since restart of the mill. Recoveries continue to improve, achieving 84% for silver, 84% for lead and 81% for zinc, reflecting ongoing refinements during the pre-commissioning period.

Target is to Achieve 600 TPD Ramp-Up by Mid-2027: The Company's objective is to reach the 600 tonne-per-day rated capacity of the mill by mid-2027, with the ramp-up schedule to be confirmed in the updated mine plan for year-end.

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate: SGS has been engaged to update its previous mineral resource estimate based on a new geological and resource model incorporating the calc-silicate and other previously unmodeled mineralized zones. The updated estimate, targeted for end of this year, will also include up to 27 new drill holes and all new mine channel sampling in the vicinity of the 4090 level.

Updated Mine Plan Expected for Year-End: SRK Consulting continues to incorporate the new modelling into an updated block model. The resulting plan will set out targeted mine production for the next two years.

DHEM Drilling Program Advancing: The first hole intersected a skarn-altered halo with anomalous copper at approximately 600 metres depth, indicating the presence of a mineralized skarn system below the currently drilled extent of the Isguiz vein. Assay results to date are anomalous in copper and silver. A second hole is currently at a depth of approximately 800 metres, and planned downhole electromagnetic survey will guide follow-up drilling. Results of this drilling will be reported separately as they are received.

400 Ramp: The main accessway below the 4090 Level is now dewatered to the point where rehabilitation can begin. Rehabilitation of the 400 Ramp is the next step toward providing access to areas of the Mine below the 4090 Level.

Drilling Underway: Three drill rigs are active, targeting confirmation drilling at depth and near-mine exploration.  Results will be reported separately.

 

 

We then briefly review the value proposition and optionality across their other 3 projects:  Tres Cerros, Kilgore, and Silver City.   Shawn points out there will be a lot of news to announce over the balance of this year and into early next year from exploration to operations at Mallay, the spin-out of Silver City, and exploration targeting at Tres Cerros and Kilgore.
