Mining Stock Education

CEO Richard Osmond explains sponsor Element 29 Resources’ investment value proposition in this episode. Element 29 is a copper explorer in Peru, and its flagship Elida porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver project already has a 321 million tonne inferred resource. Richard says the goal is much bigger. The company wants to double the size of the pit and is targeting a tier-one deposit of more than 1 billion tonnes at about 0.5% copper equivalent, or roughly 5 million tonnes of contained copper. Element 29 is well funded to pursue that goal. It raised about $47 million in 2026, and with roughly $11 million in warrants coming due, it expects a budget of close to $60 million CAD to be spent over the coming years. Support comes from well-respected, strategic investors such as Randy Smallwood, George Brack, Ross Beaty, and Alex Gubbins.

Scorpio Gold Corp. CEO Zayn Kalyan explains the company’s new Nasdaq ADR listing (ticker SGLD) and unusual first-day trading volatility, which he attributes to limited initial ADR supply and possible third-party arbitrage, while noting liquidity has improved. He says Scorpio is undervalued on a per-ounce basis and that the market is missing the project’s district-scale potential at Manhattan in Nevada: the team has focused on a 2 km strike area within a larger 8.5 km package with past-producing mines and five historic resources, located about 10 miles from a Kinross-operated fifteen-million-ounce Round Mountain mine. The company is drilling toward a targeted 2026 two-million-ounce resource update, continues with two drills, and has launched a ~$600,000, 32-hole sonic drilling and metallurgy program to evaluate reprocessing historic leach pad/waste/stockpile material and possible toll milling. Scorpio completed a C$10.8M no-warrant financing at C$0.25 and has ~C$8M in treasury.
