Denarius Metals Corp. (DMET.NEDNRSF)

PR Title: Final drill results from an infill drill program at the Zancudo gold-silver project in Colombia

Analyst Opinion: Positive – Results from 13 drill holes, targeting one of the two primary zones, confirmed high-grade mineralization across multiple veins, and uncovered a new vein, indicating resource expansion potential. Notable intercepts include 0.5 m of 12.12 g/t Au & 93 g/t Ag, 0.70 m of 14 g/t Au & 96 g/t Ag, and 0.40 m of 23.11 g/t Au & 1,653 g/t Ag. DMET plans to complete an updated resource estimate by Q3-2025. The project achieved production last month. First ore deliveries are expected by the end of this month. This project has the potential to produce approximately 50–60 Koz of gold annually for at least 10 years, at an estimated cash cost of US$1,100–$1,300/oz.


Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (SLVDFSLV.CN)

PR Title: Phase one drilling extends mineralized vein strike at the recently acquired Ranger-Page project (Idaho)

Analyst Opinion: Positive – Geologic modeling based on recently completed phase one drilling has identified multiple promising targets for follow-up drilling. This project hosts six historic mines, which have produced over 1.1 Blbs of zinc and lead, and 14.6 Moz of silver. Additionally, the company’ s La Joya project in Mexico hosts a large, shallow, historical inferred resource totaling 160 Moz AgEq (silver equivalent).


Churchill Resources Inc. (CRI.VCRICF)

PR Title: Enters into a LOI to acquire the Black Raven antimony-gold property in Newfoundland and Labrador

Analyst Opinion: Positive – The project, which hosts two small-scale past-producing gold mines, contains multiple showings of gold, antimony, silver, copper, zinc, and lead. Located 100 km north of the Beaver Brook antimony mine (owned by a Chinese state-owned entity), the property is in the early stages of exploration. CRI can acquire the project for 12M shares (currently valued at $0.24M), and by committing to $1.2M in exploration spending. Management is proceeding with due diligence, and is planning preliminary exploration work, including re-sampling of surface showings, and electromagnetic surveys.
