The KE Report

In this Weekend Show, we dissect the recent sharp rebound across precious metals and evaluate whether the broader market rally has real staying power. Featuring expert technical analysis from veteran resource investor Richard Postma (Doc) and fund manager Dana Lyons (The Lyons Share Pro), this episode breaks down critical moving average tests, unfilled chart gaps in gold and mining ETFs, macro warnings in the bond market, and the accelerating rotation from overextended momentum tech into durable value sectors. 

Segment 1 & 2 - Richard Postma (also known as "Doc") discusses technical outlooks across precious metals, bonds, and equities. Doc analyzes recent price rebounds in gold and silver as temporary bounces within a broader corrective phase, offering insights on key technical levels, long-term bond market pressures, and his strategies for accumulation in mid-tier producer equities. 

 

Segment 3 & 4 - Dana Lyons, a fund manager and editor of The Lyons Share Pro, wraps up the show providing a technical analysis of current market trends across multiple asset classes. He discusses taking a neutral stance on precious metals following recent bounces, maintains a bullish outlook on copper and energy equities, and explains his strategy of rotating out of overextended growth, tech, and semiconductor sectors into broad-market value sectors like healthcare and financials.

Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (NASDAQ:MAKO) (TSXV:MKO), joins me for a comprehensive review of all 4 company Projects, on an operational, developmental and exploration perspective.

 

The Company operates the high-grade San Albino gold mine in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. Mako owns the Moss Mine, an open pit gold mine in northwestern Arizona, which is ramping up into commercial production. Mako now controls the permitted development-stage Mt. Hamilton Gold-Silver Project located in White Pine County, Nevada, USA. Mako also holds a 100% interest in the development-stage Eagle Mountain Project in Guyana, South America.

 

Q2 2026 Highlights

 

Financial

$62.6 million in Revenue

$31.7 million in Adjusted EBITDA 

$25.9 million in Mine OCF (

$13.9 million in Net Income

$112.9 million in Cash, Trade Receivables and Marketable Securities

$1,996 Cash Cost ($/oz sold) 

$2,286 AISC ($/oz sold): San Albino $1,535 and Moss Mine $3,708

Return on Equity ("ROE") of 36.6% and Return on Assets ("ROA") of 23.8%

 

Growth

$2.9 million in exploration and evaluation expenses ($1.4 million in areas surrounding San Albino, $1.4 million at Eagle Mountain, Guyana and $0.1 million in Mt. Hamilton)

 

The Company currently has a cash and gold-linked securities balance of approximately $112 million, which along with operating cash flow from their two mines, is more than sufficient to fully fund the two remaining development projects, without the need for any external capital. Over the ensuing weeks, the Company plans to unveil its plans for lowering its cost of capital, which could include a pathway for substantial shareholder capital returns.

 

We went on to review all the ongoing exploration work at San Albino, and Akiba outlined the development progress and next steps for growth at the Moss Mine, the permitting update and rough timeline for development at Mt Hamilton, and the permitting progress being made at Eagle Mountain.

Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF), joins me for another exploration update on more high-grade gold drill assays returned stepping out 320 meters in the Golden Gate Zone at the Surebet Discovery on the Golddigger Property; located in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.  

 

We also rapid-fire through some listener questions on the drill density of all the prior years drill programs, how that would set up a future MRE, (even though that is not the focus this year), and why they elected to focus on big step-out drilling to expand the deposit over pursuing a more costly exploration adit.

 

The fully funded 2026 drill program comprises approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling, including 7 drill rigs targeting expansion of the known gold mineralization laterally and at depth.

 

45 out of 98 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 25,651 meters drilled in 2026.

All drill holes completed during the 2026 drill campaign have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which generally corresponds to high-grade gold mineralization.

Expansion drilling will continue to focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones to the Southwest, East and Northeast.

Directional drilling consisting of multiple holes stemming from a single ‘mother’ hole is being used on selected drill pads in order to minimize drill time and costs while increasing target accuracy. 

 

Drill hole GD-25-420 extended the Golden Gate Zone by 320 meters to the Northeast. The interval assayed 6.51 g/t AuEq (6.16 g/t Au and 7.27 g/t Ag) over 5.73 m, including 13.49 g/t AuEq (12.79 g/t Au and 14.12 g/t Ag) over 2.73 m, including 36.27 g/t AuEq (34.43 g/t Au and 35.17 g/t Ag) over 0.97 m consisting of a series of broad quartz sulphide veins hosted in volcanic rocks where VG-NE occurs in association with semi-massive pyrrhotite, sphalerite, pyrite and galena.

 

Drill hole GD-26-424 intersected the Golden Gate Zone in an interval that assayed 10.32 g/t Au over 6.00 meters, including 15.61 Au over 3.96 meters, including 33.80 g/t Au over 1.82 meters (gold only). It contained a series of quartz-sulphide veins containing multiple occurrences of Visible Gold to The Naked Eye (VG-NE) hosted in volcanic rocks. The veins contain disseminated sulphides consisting of pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, and trace chalcopyrite

 

Drill hole GD-25-412 intersected multiple mineralized intervals belonging to the Surebet and Golden Gate Zones.

The Surebet Zone interval assayed 4.41 g/t AuEq (3.33 g/t Au and 61.14 g/t Ag) over 7.79 meters, including 8.47 g/t AuEq (6.58 g/t Au and 106.53 g/t Ag) over 3.81 meters within a broader interval of mineralization. This intercept contains multiple occurrences of VG-NE within quartz veins and breccias associated with disseminated galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite.

The Golden Gate interval assayed 4.17 g/t AuEq (3.87 g/t Au and 7.96 g/t Ag) over 3.75 meters, including 7.52 g/t AuEq (7.07 g/t Au and 11.37 g/t Ag) over 1.94 meters within a broader interval of mineralization. This intercept is characterized by several occurrences of VG-NE associated with quartz-sulphide veins

containing pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite and galena.

 

Drill hole GD-26-414 intersected multiple mineralized intervals belonging to the Surebet and Golden Gate zones.

The Surebet Zone interval assayed 2.81 g/t Au over 4.00 m, including 9.79 g/t Au over 1.00 m part of the Surebet Zone. This first interval contains multiple occurrences of VG-NE within quartz-sulphide veins and breccias with substantial calc-silicate alteration.

The Golden Gate interval assayed 9.87 g/t Au over 5.00 m, including 65.65 g/t Au over 0.75 m part of the Golden Gate Zone. This second interval is characterized by several occurrences of VGNE associated with quartz-sulphide veins containing lenses of semi-massive pyrrhotite, galena, sphalerite, and minor chalcopyrite

 

We then shift to a rapid-fire Q&A session where Roger fielded a number of questions from listeners about why the company was prioritizing expanding resources with big step-outs in this year program, how the drill density over ~75% of the deposit was already at 25 meter to 50 meter spacings, how recent step-outs would still need more infill drilling next year, and why the company chose to focus its funds on more drilling this season versus pursuing the longer-process and costly exploration adit idea that had been investigated.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins me for a review of Q2 financials and operations at the McCreedy West Mine and the expedited development pathway for the Levack and Crean Hill mines located in Sudbury, Ontario. We also discuss the larger exploration strategy across many projects, and how the company is continuing to recruit and grow a quality base of employees.

 

Q2 Highlights:

 

In Q2 2026, Magna achieved record production with 98,446 tons of ore processed from the 700 Footwall Copper Zone at the McCreedy West copper-precious metals-nickel Mine in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada at a grade of 3.34% copper equivalent (“CuEq”) and 6.6 million CuEq contained pounds (“lbs”) based on realized metal prices in the quarter.

The Company produced 4.5 million CuEq payable lbs in Q2 2026 and 8.6 million CuEq payable lbs in the first half of 2026. The Company continues to expect to achieve full year 2026 guidance for all metrics, including production of 16.0-18.0 million CuEq payable lbs.

The Company’s Q2 2026 year-to-date Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) was 0.63, compared to 3.87 during the same period in 2025, representing an 84% reduction. Additionally, McCreedy West Mine achieved a significant milestone in June 2026 by completing one year without a recordable injury.

During Q2 2026, Magna generated record positive cash margin3 of $8.9 million and free cash flow of $5.1 million.

Quarterly cash costs and All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of US$3.76 per CuEq lb, and US$4.54 per CuEq lb, respectively. Production costs per ton processed in Q2 2026 declined by 6.9% from the prior quarter to $199 per ton.

Exploration and evaluation expenses in Q2 2026 of $5.3 million, including $5.0 million at Levack Mine with a focus on infrastructure readiness to support early ore sources and establishing underground exploration platforms to continue drill testing the R2 Footwall Zone as well as other targets. Both the Levack Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) and the Crean Hill Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) are on track to be completed during Q3 2026.

Ended Q2 2026 with cash and cash equivalents of $40.0 million and a working capital balance of $45.3 million.

On June 23, 2026, the Company graduated from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). The TSX uplisting is expected to enhance the Company’s profile within the investment community, improve trading liquidity, and provide greater access to a broader range of investors.

Subsequent to the end of Q2 2026, on July 6, 2026, the Company announced a strategic investment by Alpayana S.A.C (“Alpayana”) via a non-brokered private placement financing to purchase 62,222,222 common shares of the Company at a price of $2.25 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $140.0 million. Upon closing, Alpayana is expected to hold approximately 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company and closing of the Offering is anticipated during Q3 2026, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.

Magna’s Chief Financial Officer, Scott Gilbert, has advised the Company of his intention to retire by the end of 2026. Greg Huffman, Senior Vice President, Capital Markets, will formally assume the role of Chief Financial Officer upon Scott’s retirement. Greg will work closely with Scott over the coming months to support a smooth transition.
