Mining Stock Education

Quinton Hennigh, exploration geologist, fund advisor, and CEO of San Cristobal Mining, shares tips on how to identify elite geologists and new discoveries which others miss. He talks about the current exploration market and where the industry is in a metals bull cycle. Hennigh argues mining and exploration have been undercapitalized for years and that supply constraints, permitting delays, lab capacity limits, and shortages of technical staff and drillers create bottlenecks that could support a long bull market as gold and silver find new price floors. He discusses faster field-friendly assay approaches and why exploration often doesn’t require ultra-low detection limits. Hennigh explains what separates elite geologists—mentorship, system-scale thinking, efficient drilling strategy, metallurgy focus. Investors should notice early “100 gram-meter” intercepts—and uses Snowline as an example why. He outlines jurisdictional opportunity in Bolivia, San Cristobal’s community engagement through mining education support, and the company’s private, cash-flow-funded growth plan toward major silver production.

John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate, provides an update on the company’s Quebec igneous phosphate project intended to produce purified phosphoric acid for LFP batteries. Passalacqua discusses a Danish Export Credit Agency LOI for up to 170 million euros for equipment and services, building on prior support including a Canadian federal non-repayable $16.7 million contribution and a similar 170 million US dollar EXIM Bank LOI, alongside a definitive bankable offtake agreement with some prepayment. He explains milestones needed to convert LOIs to definitive financing, with feasibility targeted by end-2026 and permitting in early 2027, supporting an aggressive 2029 production target. The conversation also covers completion of ~40,000 meters of infill drilling, discovery of two new zones that may expand the pit and resource, and the rationale for building a local North American/Western LFP supply chain amid geopolitical supply-chain disruptions.

Lara Exploration President and CEO Dr. Simon Ingram provides an update focused on the company’s recently closed C$33M (about US$25M) financing at C$3/share with no warrants. Ingram says the funding provides several years of runway to advance the Planalto copper-gold open-pit project from PEA toward feasibility by drilling the resource (moving inferred/indicated toward indicated/measured) and completing technical and environmental studies. A European copper producer, Atalaya Mining, invested at the corporate level for a 7% stake with no special rights, alongside other institutions, and management also participated. Ingram stated his belief that the Planalto project will be a copper mine and is currently undervalued, which presents a compelling investment proposition. Near-term catalysts include ongoing drill results and follow-up drilling on the Silica Cap trend into the Atlantica license, targeting potentially higher-grade copper mineralization.
