In an engaging interview at PDAC 2024 with Tracy Weslosky of InvestorNews, Jeff Swinoga, the President, CEO, and Director of Exploits Discovery Corp. (CSE: NFLD | OTCQX: NFLDF), shares insights into the company’s strategic positioning and future prospects in the Newfoundland gold sector. Swinoga emphasizes the value of their holdings, stating, “We’ve got a very strategic claim called Bullseye, and in the last year, there’s been 5 gold discoveries just South of our Bullseye property.” This remark underscores the significant potential of their assets in a region that’s rapidly becoming a hotspot for gold exploration. With a dedicated local team in Gander, NL, Exploits is well-placed to capitalize on the burgeoning gold exploration scene.

The focus of Exploits Discovery Corp.’s exploration strategies and geological interests are crucial to its ambitions, particularly along the Appleton Fault Zone. By following a path similar to industry pioneers, the company’s exploration efforts at the Bullseye and the larger Gazebo properties are poised to potentially redefine its prospects. Swinoga detailed the competitive edge and determination that led Exploits to secure these prime locations, showcasing the company’s resourcefulness and strategic planning in the high-stakes domain of mineral exploration.

Recent developments at the company, especially the promising results from the expanded till sampling program at the Gazeebow South property, highlight the potential for significant gold mineralization along the Appleton Fault Zone. This advancement solidifies the northward extension of gold zones, contributing to an optimistic outlook for Exploits Discovery Corp. With upcoming assay results from the Bullseye property and the plan for further exploration, Exploits is strategically positioned to explore the geological riches of its claims, marking a potential trajectory for its future in Newfoundland’s gold exploration landscape.

Gold prices have historically risen in response to macroeconomic trends such as inflationary pressure and market uncertainty. As we head into another period of unprecedented economic upheaval, gold is once again emerging as a shining star in the investment universe.

One Canadian company focused on exploring and leveraging the largely unexplored region of Newfoundland, Canada, is Leocor Gold Inc. (CSE: LECR | OTCQB: LECRF). Newfoundland has a long history of mining operations, and has attracted considerable recent interest and exploration capital by a large number of gold and mineral companies.

Under CEO and Director Alex Klenman, Leocor has put together a team with the experience and expertise to explore and capitalize upon this opportunity. Leocor’s Technical Advisor Shawn Ryan is a renowned prospector who has been able to utilize his prospector skills to find valuable gold deposits. A New York Times profile went so far as to describe Ryan as “the king of a new Yukon Gold rush” before he turned his attention to the prolific Newfoundland region.

Leocor is focused on a handful of projects in the Newfoundland region, including the Western Exploit District. The company’s three contiguous projects represent a 144,000 hectare land package in the heart of Newfoundland. Ryan introduced Leocor to this project, and his data and analysis suggest this project has the potential for new gold discoveries at scale.

On July 27, 2022, Leocor announced the results of a 2021 exploration program in the Western Exploit District project known as the Hodges Hill property. Their team performed soil sampling, LiDAR surveys, and airborne magnetic-VLF surveys. The results of this exploration program identified 12 potential gold targets at the Hodges Hill property. The exploration program reported soil samples that ranged from trace to 1018.5 ppb Au, with 25 samples containing more than 50 ppb Au.

Additionally, the program also suggested the likelihood of a large body of pyroxene gabbro. This material has been associated with gold mineralization in the area. Research from the Geological Survey of Canada found that pyroxene gabbro was key to the development of the Marathon Gold’s Valentine Lake deposits. The next step at this site is to perform follow-up work, such as geologic mapping, to identify high-priority targets for drill testing.

In addition to the Hodges Hill property, Leocor also announced in June that it had mobilized drilling at their Baie Verte project located in northwest Newfoundland. The company had previously announced the results of 2021 exploration activities, which identified a 7-kilometer northeast trending zone of anomalous gold in the soil and a 4-kilometer subparallel trend of anomalous copper in the soil.

Along this zone, the company identified multiple targets. These results were better than what was anticipated with this project. In particular, there is structurally controlled gold mineralization that bears similarities to the nearby Pine Cover Mine. This news led to the start of a rotary air blast (RAB) drilling program.

This program will test at least six target areas for gold and/or copper mineralization. The company plans to drill between 25 to 30 RAB holes. If the results of the program are promising, then Leocor plans to follow up with additional diamond drilling. No results have been reported yet.

The past few years have seen a new Newfoundland gold rush, with many new discoveries and companies now on the way to production. Leocor’s Technical Advisor Shawn Ryan has shown a nose for discoveries. While it is early days for Leocor, Newfoundland is definitely the place to be, and with inflation or other market forces exerting upward pressure on long-term gold, discoveries can help bring explorers to the attention of investors.

In this InvestorIntel interview, host Tracy Weslosky talks to TRU Precious Metals Corp.’s (TSXV: TRU | OTCQB: TRUIF) Co-Founder, CEO & Director Joel Freudman about upcoming drill results and the key strategic location of its Newfoundland Golden Rose Project.

“The key value driver for us,” Joel says, “is our Golden Rose Project in central Newfoundland. We’re right between two gold deposits – five million ounce Marathon Gold on one side, and they’re putting their mine into production in 2025, and the other side is Matador Mining with a significant gold resource. We control all the land between them.” This consolidation came about as a result of a recently announced option agreement that added the remaining smaller properties to TRU’s land package, which, he tells Tracy, “makes it a great turnkey project for potential acquirers down the road.”

Joel also tells Tracy that results from the summer 2000 meter drill program at the Jacobs Pond area of the Golden Rose Project are expected shortly, where the company “saw a lot of indications at surface for copper even bits of cobalt.” He believes that finding copper at Jacob’s Pond could be a good potential catalyst for TRU, diversifying its appeal and meriting a follow-on drill program.

Every once in a while I find myself scanning through a company’s website or press releases and then I have to pause for a moment and go back and re-read something. Instead of the usual content you expect to see, something jumps off the page and you have to make sure you read it correctly and that your eyes weren’t playing tricks on you. Today’s junior mining stock had me doing this a couple of times for several different reasons. The company is unusual (in a good way) and not simply because Eric Sprott beneficially owns 25% of the outstanding shares (even more if warrants are exercised). It also had nothing to do with its location, Newfoundland & Labrador, although that’s why I was looking at it in the first place as I just happen to enjoy reading and writing about this special part of Canada.

The first thing that jumped off the page for me was “Approximately 48,000 metres remain to be completed in the current 100,000 m drill program”. For a junior miner anywhere, that is a giant volume of drilling, which also means there has to be plenty of cash around as well. How about a treasure stocked with C$13 million? Seems like enough to undertake such an enormous exploration program and as the Company states “sufficient funds to undertake all the exploration activities planned for 2022”. The last thing that stood out was the number of projects being actively explored – 5. Most junior mining companies don’t have more than 2 or 3 properties to pursue, often only 1, and even more rare is the resources to be working on all these projects over the next 3-6 months.

Needless to say, I was hooked. I had to find out more about Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC | OTCQB: SICNF), and let me tell, there is a lot more to learn. The Company’s primary focus is its portfolio of gold projects; flagship Moosehead Gold Project, Crippleback Lake (optioned to Trans Canada Gold Corp.) and East Alder (optioned to Canterra Minerals Corporation) along the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt, and the district-scale Fleur de Lys project in north-central Newfoundland. The Company also recently entered into a strategic alliance with Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) through three, large-scale, joint-venture properties including Grey River, Golden Hope and Kepenkeck in Newfoundland. Sokoman controls, independently and through the Benton alliance, over 150,000 hectares (>6,000 claims – 1500 sq. km), making it one of the largest landholders in Newfoundland, in Canada’s newest and rapidly-emerging gold districts. The Company also retains an interest in an early-stage antimony/gold project (Startrek) in Newfoundland, optioned to White Metal Resources Inc., and in Labrador, the Company has a 100% interest in the Iron Horse (Fe) project which has Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) potential.

I’m still trying to figure out what metal or minerals Newfoundland & Labrador doesn’t have as it seems the region has an abundance of everything. Along those lines, the Golden Hope JV with Benton made the first high-grade lithium discovery in Newfoundland in September, 2021. The first assay results from the drilling program that tested the Kraken pegmatite field returned an average of 0.95% Li₂O over 8.40 m with grades as high as 1.76% Li₂O. Not bad when you are looking for gold. The Alliance has proposed a C$3 million budget for a summer drill program testing as many of the known pegmatite dykes as possible, with up to 30-40 holes planned. Camp setup and drill mobilization are expected in mid-June.

But as interesting as this is, for today I think will focus on where the bulk of the drilling is being done, and that’s the Moosehead Gold Project where visible gold has been intersected in drilling over a 2 km strike length. From 2018-2021 Sokoman completed ~73,000 m of drilling with ~360 holes, leading to the discovery of 4 significant zones, all of which remain open. Highlights from these zones rival some of the findings from their neighbors to the east, New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV: NFG | AMEX: NFGC) another Eric Sprott backed gold miner in Newfoundland:

Western Trend • MH-18-08 • 1.05 m @ 207.5g/t Au from 8.5 m; and 2.28 m @ 42.36 g/t Au from 33.1 m

Eastern Trend • MH-18-01 • 11.9 m @ 44.96g/t Au, including 5.65 m @ 93.56 g/t Au from 115.2 m

75 Zone • MH-21-23 • 44.8 m @ 17.56g/t Au, including 2.75 m @ 30.59g/t Au from 44.75 m

South Pond • MH-20-12 • 35.0 m of 26.87 g/t Au, including 2.15 m @ 60.59 g/t Au from 47.0 m

Heading into 2022 is where things get really exciting. Results last week, some of the first holes from the 100,000 m 2022 program, expanded the 75 Zone and essentially linked it with the main Eastern Trend/Footwall Splay mineralization (see picture below). In addition, MH-22-418, completed last week (assays pending) intersected the deepest occurrence of visible gold to date on the property at a downhole depth of 352 m.

Source: Sokoman Minerals May 19, 2022 Press Release

It would appear there will be a steady stream of drilling results coming from Sokoman Minerals over the following weeks and months, not only from Moosehead, but Golden Hope and Grey River with JV partner Benton Resources Inc. There is a lot going on at this well funded, junior gold (and now lithium) explorer. With a market cap of C$66 million it’s not hard to imagine plenty of upside when one of your comparables is New Found Gold at a market cap of C$1.2 billion.

I quite enjoy the opportunity to write for InvestorIntel as it allows me to look at some interesting stories that wouldn’t otherwise be on my radar. There are thousands of publicly traded stocks out there and I certainly don’t have the focus or the drive to actively try and review all of them. And with being more or less locked down for the last two years one could also safely travel the world from their armchair while reviewing the plethora of small cap stocks listed on Canadian exchanges. I’ve explored parts of Fiji, Columbia, Indonesia and Chile to name a few but it seems I’m heading back to Newfoundland & Labrador fairly regularly. Ironically, I’ve actually visited “The Rock” numerous times and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in spectacular, rugged scenery, icebergs and super friendly people. But it’s the wonderful geology that the region is blessed with that has me returning time and again on behalf of InvestorIntel.

You’ve probably guessed by now that I’m having a look at junior miner with a prospect located on the western shores of Newfoundland. The company is so fond of this prospect they recently changed their name to reflect this becoming their primary focus. York Harbour Metals Inc. (TSXV: YORK) rebranded from Phoenix Gold Resources Corp. (TSXV: PXA) in February of this year. York Harbour Metals is an exploration and development company focused on the York Harbour Copper-Zinc-Silver Project, a mineral property located approximately 27 km from Corner Brook, Newfoundland. The area is known to be prospective for copper-zinc-silver-gold-cobalt volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. The known mineralization exhibits characteristics consistent with classic mafic-type flow dominated (Cyprus-type) VMS deposits. You’ll have to go to their website to better understand the previous two sentences but they do a decent job explaining it in terms I can understand with links to additional resources if you really want to nerd out.

There are a couple of things about this particular company that I find interesting. The first is the history of this property. This is a classic story of revisiting an old, existing mine site with very little modern exploration having been carried out on the sizeable claim holdings. Copper and zinc massive sulphides were first discovered at York Harbour in 1893 where shaft sinking began in 1897 and mining continued to 1918. Activity resumed in the early 1950’s through to 1970’s where previous owners began a Sea Level Adit to enhance exploration and to become a main haulage level but it was never completed due to lack of funding. A total of 2,134 metres of underground drifting and development have been completed for which documentation is available. Drill core logs and sampling data are available for a total of 19,323 metres of historical drilling that tested eleven lenses or zones of copper-zinc-silver-gold-cobalt-bearing sulphide mineralization. I’m always attracted to companies that have a lot of historical workings they can review to preserve and optimize exploration capital.

The next thing that puts York Harbour Metals on my radar is the stock price action over the last 6 months. Junior mining stocks haven’t exactly been setting the world on fire. They tend to perform even worse when the macro market is looking weak as nervous investors have a habit of dumping their riskier investments first. Since November 2^nd, YORK/PXA is up 161% posting higher highs and higher lows along the way, forming a great up trending channel. It also seems to be finding great support at the 50 day moving average. Not to say this is the only junior mining stock doing well, but I can’t say there are many (if any) that are down 25% or more over that same period that I have on my watch list.

Source: StockCharts.com

Lastly, I always like a steady stream of drill results, although I probably didn’t need to remind readers of this fact given how many times I’ve brought it up. York Harbour Metals have been pumping out the numbers over the last 4 months and there are plenty more to come. Phase 1 drill results were released Jan 17^th and led to a decent spike in the share price. Highlights from that press release include YH21-06 with 52.2 metres of 0.85% copper, 91.8 g/t cobalt, 0.53% zinc and 1.75 g/t silver and YH21-09 with 11.6 m of 1.41% copper, 202.94 g/t cobalt, 0.10% zinc and 2.41 g/t silver. Results from the Phase 2 program released March 17^th and March 26^th also saw decent jumps in the share price with the latter resulting in a nice gap up. Highlights include YH21-18 with 25.00 metres of 2.70% copper, 9.04% zinc, 17.78 g/t silver, and 163.6 g/t cobalt and YH21-24, grading 5.25% copper, 436.5 g/t cobalt, 8.97 g/t silver, and 0.801% zinc over a drilling length of 29.0 metres. The latest price spike on April 18^th came on an update on the Phase 3 diamond drilling program where the Company confirmed completion of 28 NQ-size diamond drill holes totaling 4,980 metres with visual pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite of varying degrees in almost all of the drill intercepts.

If the assay results are anywhere near as good as the market’s interpretation of the visual estimates of the copper (chalcopyrite) and zinc (sphalerite) indicators we could be in for more good times at York Harbour. The last thing that I like is that it has a relatively tight share structure, with only 48.8 million shares outstanding. That makes the market cap C$62.5 million, which seems a little high to me for a junior miner without a resource estimate. However, the stock action would suggest that those a lot more knowledgeable about geology think this could be the real deal.

In this InvestorIntel interview with host Byron W. King, TRU Precious Metals Corp.’s (TSXV: TRU | OTCQB: TRUIF) Co-Founder, CEO & Director Joel Freudman provides an update on the drill program at TRU’s Golden Rose Project in Central Newfoundland.

In the interview, which may also be viewed on the InvestorIntel YouTube channel (click here to subscribe), Joel Freudman talks about their Golden Rose Project’s strategic location in Newfoundland, situated between two major gold deposits. With Eric Sprott and TSX listed Altius Minerals as the largest shareholders, Joel discusses TRU’s new IP survey results and gold zone modelling from the Golden Rose Project which showed strong indications for copper in addition to gold.

I always find it interesting that, when evaluating mining companies, you have to look a lot deeper than simply what properties they have and when they’re drilling next. Small and medium explorers do so many deals with peers that any given company can sometimes have more value in the outstanding shares of other companies than in its own properties. I guess it stands to reason, in a business where you are constantly trying to raise capital to explore your best asset and maybe where you have the luxury of an extra asset or two kicking around, that you consider non-core assets or perhaps unexplorable ones under your current circumstances. At least it should be a lot easier to value the outstanding stock position in other companies than an inferred resource, to me anyway, as long as those shareholdings are publicly traded. Although, even in that situation I’ve seen a company, with no debt, trade at a discount to what it could sell all the shares in other holdings for, implying that their own asset is actually a liability. Then again, if I understood the market better, I’d probably be on a helicopter right now flying from my private island to the nearest golf course before spending the rest of the afternoon fishing.

Now where was I going with this? Oh ya, junior mining stocks with the potential to be worth a lot more than what they are currently trading for. Today we are taking a look at Gold’n Futures Mineral Corp. (CSE: FUTR), a Canadian based exploration company focused on advancing its Hercules Project.  The Hercules Project is located 200 kilometers northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within the Thunder Bay North Mining District in the heart of the Beardmore – Geraldton gold mining camp, the 4th largest gold camp in Canada. The Company has built an extensive drill hole database that includes historical drilling totaling 537 holes with more than 107,000 m of drill core. Highlights from the property include surface grab samples grading up 10,374 g/t gold and channel samples up to 32.9 g/t gold across 11.6 m. Sounds pretty interesting so you’d think that would be the focus of today’s article…. but it’s not.

Gold’n Futures has another asset called the Brady Gold Project, which is located in Newfoundland, one of the hottest gold jurisdictions in the world right now thanks to New Found Gold Corp.’s (TSXV: NFG | NYSE-A: NFGC) Queensway Project. As of September 30, 2021, Gold’n Futures reported a total of $861,348 invested in the Brady Property including both acquisition costs and exploration expenditures, with a further 2.5 million shares required to be issued to the vender at a deemed price of $0.075 per share to accelerate its acquisition of a 100% ownership. That puts Gold’n Futures all in price for the Brady project at just over C$1 million but they were recently able to sell 90% of the asset for 3 million shares of Beaver Gold Corp. at a value of US$1/share. Sometimes a Company has to make tough decisions but in this situation, it’s a pretty good lift for shareholders and they still have some exposure to the project should Beaver Gold have success in developing it. Additionally, it provides a future source of funding to explore the Hercules Project.

However, this is where the story gets interesting. Beaver Gold is in the process of listing its common shares on the NASDAQ with a coincident initial public offering. I’ve been told that the IPO price is US$4/share, although that doesn’t necessarily mean the stock will open at or even trade anywhere near that price. However, if it does trade at US$4/share, that is worth roughly C$15 million as compared to Gold’n Futures current market cap of just over C$8 million, following the Company’s current private placement. Even if Beaver Gold trades at only half the US$4/share price, then Gold’n Futures would be trading at cash value with upside from any exploration activity at any of its properties. The question becomes whether the market will reflect the true value of Beaver Gold in the share price of Gold’n Futures before they actual sell those shares and convert them into cold, hard cash.

In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Chris Thompson spoke with Stephen Lautens, President of TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU | OTCQB: TRUIF) about TRU’s recent news release on intersecting gold in new drill results from their Golden Rose Project in Central Newfoundland, Canada and about Stephen recently being appointed President of TRU Precious Metals.

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), Stephen Lautens shared why he decided to join TRU Precious Metals and went on to highlight the proximity of the Golden Rose Project to major known gold deposits in the prolific Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.

All I want for Christmas is money, is what Search Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SMY | OTCQB: SHCMF) must be saying after it recently announced plans to re-stock the treasury with a $15 million non-brokered private placement offering. For a Company with a market cap of roughly C$69 million prior to the closing of this share issuance, that seems like a pretty good Christmas present. I’m sure there are a few other items on their Christmas wish list but things have been going along fairly well for this rare earths explorer in Newfoundland and Labrador.

As background, Search Minerals is focused on creating value through finding and developing rare earth mineral assets in SE and central Labrador, Canada. The Company is the discoverer of the Port Hope Simpson – St. Lewis Rare Earths District, a highly prospective belt located in southeast Labrador that is 62 km long and up to 2 km wide. Search owns 100% of two advanced rare earth resources called the Foxtrot Project and Deep Fox Project, and the more recently announced Foxtrot-like prospects Fox Meadow, Silver Fox and Awesome Fox. In addition, the Company has identified more than 20 other Foxtrot-like prospects in the District. Several of the Foxtrot-like prospects require exploration drilling programs and may provide additional resources to a central processing facility that would be situated within the District.

The interesting thing about Search is that they have a little more going on than just exploring for rare earths. The Company has developed a breakthrough technology for the processing of its material called the Patented Direct Extraction Metallurgical Process. With the mining of many commodities, it’s not as simple as taking the rock from the ground, crushing it up and sending it to market, and the mining of rare earths can create their own environmental nightmare if not addressed properly. Fortunately, Search has found an elegant answer with an environmentally conscientious solution for managing waste residue that also significantly reduces CAPEX and operational costs along with eliminating unnecessary steps, lowering capital and operating costs and producing a dry stackable waste residue that reduces the environmental footprint, pilot plant testing has clearly demonstrated the ability to produce a high purity mixed rare earth oxide (REO) concentrate. You can read more about the process here, but this could be a big deal.

On the exploration front, Search had over 6000 assays from its 7000m drill program at Deep Fox that were reported Nov 15^th with all 38 drill holes showing significant rare earths throughout the mineralized zone and mineralization observed in all levels (25m, 50m, 100m, 150m, 200m). At Fox Meadow, 500m of channel sampling work has been completed and samples are being logged and prepared for shipment to the assay laboratory in preparation for a preliminary drill program in 2022. Additionally, Silver Fox is drill ready for 2022 and the Company is preparing a preliminary drill program there as well. Lastly, the Deep Fox drill data will be used to prepare a new resource estimate which will be incorporated into an upcoming preliminary economic assessment report expected in Q1 2022. The combination of the Deep Fox and Foxtrot resources will potentially allow for an increase in the production rate compared to the 2016 PEA on Foxtrot alone. Especially given assays from Deep Fox have shown higher grades of the key rare earth elements used in the permanent magnet market (Neodymium, Praseodymium, Dysprosium and Terbium) as compared to Foxtrot.

It has been an exciting few months for Search Minerals hence my suggestion that its Christmas wish list might be a relatively brief one. Maybe one wish is for a short, mild, winter so they can get back to drilling sooner than later after they replenish the bank account. Nevertheless, with the US, Canada and EU collaborating to build a secure rare earth supply chain, Search Minerals is in the right jurisdiction to participate in breaking global reliance on China. Assuming they are successful in raising the full $15 million the Company will be in great shape to hit the ground running to start 2022.

Perhaps I’ll finish the year with a bad pun before I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season, but to me this looks like a pretty foxy investment. I hope they’ve at least seen a fox or two on their exploration properties.

Merry Christmas everyone and see you in 2022!
