Mining Stock Daily

Sandy McVey, CEO of West Vault Mining, tells us about the strategy with the Hasbrouck Gold Project in Nevada. The company recently published an impressive preliminary feasibility study for the project, yet the group still awaits the appropriate time to reach its next catalyst for its shareholders. 

Paul Harris sits down with Brad Rourke, CEO of Scottie Resources, for a discussion on the drill results being published as of late from the Blueberry Zone near the Scottie gold mine. The company seems good grades in this zone and thinks it will be a significant addition of ounces for an updated resource. 

We have two segments recorded this week from the Roundup Conference. First, Joe Mazumdar of Exploration Inights joins Trevor to talk about his work and analysis of the copper market and how the re-opening in China has really leveraged the demand for the metal and thus its price. We then chat with Brandon Macdonald of Fireweed Metals as he and his team prep for the largest exploration program at the MacPass/Mactung projects in Yukon this year. We'd like to thank our sponsors: Western Copper and Gold is focused on developing the world-class Casino project in Canada's Yukon Territory. The Casino project consists of an impressive 11 billion pounds of copper and 21 million ounces of gold in an overall resource. Western Copper and Gold trades on the TSX and the NYSE American with WRN. Be sure to follow the company via their website, www.westerncopperandgold.com. ASCU is an early-stage copper developer and explorer of the Cactus Mine and its satellite project, Parks/Salyer, both situated on a 4km mine trend on private land in Arizona's porphyry copper district. Opportunity for significant growth and scale exist along the trend, while future capex requirements outlined in the Cactus PEA benefit from significant onsite and nearby access to infrastructure. The Company is led by an executive management team and Board which have a long-standing track record of successful project delivery in North America.
