$5,000 Gold Could Change the Math for Small Mines | Jeff Pontius Jeff Pontius, exploration geologist and chair of Mackay Gold & Silver @Mackay_Corp, joins Kitco Mining’s Digging Deep with Paul Harris to discuss what separates a promising deposit from a mining project that can actually be financed, permitted and built.

LunR Royalties Targets $1.5B Deals as It Scales Up | Adam Lundin Less than a year after its launch as a public company, @LUNRroyalties is already looking to compete for much larger precious-metals deals after establishing its first major cash-flowing asset at Fruta del Norte. Speaking with Kitco Mining’s Paul Harris at the 2026 Mining Forum Americas, CEO Adam Lundin said LunR is prepared to evaluate transactions ranging from $50 million to as much as $1.5 billion. The company’s approximately $670 million Fruta del Norte silver stream has already started generating revenue, while a $150 million credit facility gives LunR additional capacity to pursue future deals. “Try and punch above our weight,” Lundin said, while stressing that growth must remain disciplined. youtube.com/watch?v=ChJhZQUD… Special thanks to our sponsor, @metallaroyalty

Mining M&A Is Coming, but Discipline Is Holding | Tim Wood Mining companies have more cash, stronger metals prices and broader investor interest, but Tim Wood says the sector is still showing restraint rather than repeating the excesses of the last cycle. Speaking with Kitco Mining’s Paul Harris at the 2026 Mining Forum Americas, the Denver Gold Group @DenGoldGroup executive director said capital discipline remained a consistent message across company presentations, with miners continuing to prioritize shareholder returns and stronger balance sheets. “I think we've turned a corner in the way companies are approaching the cycle,” Wood said. youtube.com/watch?v=c3qn7spL… Special thanks to our sponsor, @metallaroyalty

Speaking with Kitco Mining’s Paul Harris at the 2026 Mining Forum Americas, President and CEO Matthew Rowlinson said Solaris expects roughly $100 million of liquidity to carry the company through to FID, including an additional $50 million tranche tied to its Royal Gold agreement.
