They discuss recent positive drill results the Gold Rock property’s Pearl target, which Maura had initially planned to reveal at the PDAC conference but was compelled to share earlier due to the promising findings—new high-grade mineralization discoveries including two foot-wall structures with 15 g/t over 1 m and 77.9 g/t over 0.5 m, expanding targets and eyeing hanging-wall potential at Pearl and Jubilee. Updates cover the Hyndman project—assembled via strategic deals like the Tremblay option, featuring a key 13 g/t discovery sample, completed first drill program with results post-PDAC in March, and 100% ownership secured alongside full option agreements on their gold-rich structures. Maura teases property-wide soil and till campaign results for underground insights, plus explanatory videos for Dryden Gold’s website and socials, with a PDAC Toronto meetup on deck.#DrydenGold #DRYV #DRYGF #GoldExploration #OntarioGold #GoldRockProject #PearlTarget #HinmanProject #SheridanProperty #PDAC2026 #JuniorMining #GoldMiningStocks

Rob Bergmann, CEO of Relevant Gold (TSX-V:RGC) (OTCQB:RGCCF) sits down with Michael Fox at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference to dive into the company’s Wyoming-focused exploration play and recent drilling results. Relevant Gold is pursuing a 200-kilometer orogenic belt linked to the Abitibi gold belts, with a mix of major project activity in Wyoming and ongoing smaller drill programs across 17 high-grade targets. Early results from four targets across two camps bolster their exploration thesis, highlighted by a 70% hit rate in anomalous shear-hosted gold systems and all 12 holes at the Apex target intersecting anomalous gold mineralization. The episode covers their plan to integrate airborne VTEM data with structural modeling for 3D drilling-focused decisions in 2026, recent discoveries of promising gold and high-grade silver panels, and the strategy to drill roughly 20,000 meters this year to advance multiple mineralizing systems. Learn about the Wyoming drill plan at Lewiston, Bertrand, and Apex, the use of VTEM to sharpen targets, the company’s financial position (over $3.5M cash) and upcoming May start at Apex, plus how investors can stay updated as a data-driven drilling program unfolds through 2026.Relevant Goldhttps://relevantgoldcorp.com/#GoldExploration #WyomingGold #OrogenicGold #VTEM #DrillResults #RelevantGold #ApexBradleyPeak #Bertrand #Lewiston #VancouverResourceInvestmentConference #GoldStocks #JuniorMining #MiningInvesting

Gold lies at the heart of this Roundup chat as Michael Fox sits down with Ken Konkin, President & CEO of Goldstorm Metals (TSX-V:GSTM) to unpack a generational opportunity born from Tudor Gold’s spin-out sparked by Goldstorm’s 2020–21 exploration wins. Ken outlines why the Goldstorm deposit demands full focus—and why satellite targets aren’t a priority—while highlighting 2025 discoveries: Orion Spine progress south of KSM/Treaty Creek, Electrum’s silver grades topping 900 g/t, and a new gold-bearing zone exposed by melting ice with up to 39.9 g/t gold, 10 km south of Valley of the Kings—all pointing to 2026 expansion plans. The conversation also dives into Goldstorm’s phased drilling (3,000 m Phase 1 at Goldstorm, Electrum Fairweather Delta sampling), parallels to Bruce Jack and Seabridge, and the potential for a Treaty Creek-style breakout, underpinned by strong finances and a strategic focus on the Orion Spine drill program, IP targets, and near-term permit and permitting dynamics driven by silver’s rising critical-metals status.

Cupani Metals (CSE: CUPA) (OTCQB:CUPIF) makes its debut in 2026 on this episode as Michael Fox sits down with Brian Bosse, CEO & Director, to unpack a compelling exploration story in Quebec. Bosse explains Cupani’s core thesis: an exploration company with a substantial historical resource estimate for copper, nickel, platinum, and palladium, last drilled in the 1980s, now consolidated under Cupani’s exclusive rights after a decade-long effort. The discussion revisits their Quebec City meeting where an “impressive project” was showcased, and outlines 2025’s push to reopen access to the land package, conduct a 5,000 square kilometer helicopter EM and magnetic survey, identify three strong new targets, and refine a high-priority corridor to better understand the deposit geology.

Led by a team with deep mining and finance experience, the Company operates in one of the world’s most attractive mining jurisdictions.In February 2025, Blue Lagoon achieved a major milestone with the granting of a full mining permit – one of only nine issued in British Columbia since 2015 – and has since commenced underground mining operations. Mineralized material from Dome Mountain will be processed under a long-term toll milling agreement with Nicola Mining. Beginning in H1 2026, the Company plans to reinvest internally generated cash flow into near-mine and regional exploration to further expand its resource base.With a strong commitment to sustainability, community, and First Nation engagement, Blue Lagoon’s objective is to become a profitable, cash-flowing gold producer while creating lasting value for shareholders and stakeholders alike.The Company is not basing its production decision at Dome Mountain on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The production decision is based on having existing mining infrastructure, past bulk sampling and processing activity, and the established mineral resource. The Company understands that there is increased uncertainty, and consequently a higher risk of failure, when production is undertaken in advance of a feasibility study.#BlueLagoonResources #GoldMining #SilverMining #BCGold #MiningStocks #MiningNews #CriticalMetals
