Elemental Royalty Corp – US$290 Million Acquisition of 5 Streams & Royalties, Generation Divestment

Elemental Royalty Corp – US$290 Million Acquisition of 5 Streams & Royalties, Generation Divestment

The KE Report
6 days ago 29:23

Key Highlights

brief
  • Bell counts AbraSilver's Diablillos project in Argentina, where Elemental holds a royalty, among three material silver positions the company has added over roughly the past 14 months.

Elemental Royalty buys five gold and silver streams and royalties for US$290 million, adding scale, producing assets, and North American and West African exposure. The Kouroussa stream sits over the mine's mill, so future ore from any new licenses Mansa consolidates automatically pays Elemental. Spinning the Generation exploration business into Carlin East trims staff from about 45 to 20 and cuts G&A (overhead costs) by over 25%. Gold-equivalent ounce (GEO — production stated in gold terms) revenue is guided from about 20,000 ounces this year toward 50,000 by 2031. Portfolio quality is compounding: the average value of Elemental's top eight assets climbed from roughly $35 million to about $170 million in 15 months.

Key Highlights

brief
  • Raised as a rollback example: one host thought AbraSilver had done a rollback, and the other noted it was not even listing on a US exchange and could not recall why the rollback was done.

Subdued retail attendance at fall forums contrasts with rising institutional interest; fund inflows look likely to favor isolated stories, not the sector broadly. Twelve-page glossy mailers promoting nickel and tungsten juniors signal heavier promotion; weighing cash, runway, and project substance beats believing the narrative. Specialization pays: pick one commodity or deposit type, learn its signals deeply, and branch out one step at a time instead of staying high-level. Visible gold claims before assays are marketing, not evidence. One company retracted its visible-gold release, so wait for verified results before acting. Site visits and concentration define the co-host's process: see infrastructure firsthand, hold 10 to 15 names, and plan the exit in advance.

18 days ago 13:14

Key Highlights

brief
  • Williams names AbraSilver among the top global silver developers that Unico compares itself to by primary silver ounces, despite a market cap about a quarter the size.

Unico Silver expects its maiden feasibility (the study defining mine economics) in January, targeting the pit-constrained free-milling oxide covering two-thirds of its resource. Two years of acquisitions lifted resources from 90 to 330 million silver-equivalent ounces, giving Unico 47% of Santa Cruz district's silver. A $50 million cash balance, near-30% insider ownership and recent GDXJ (junior miners ETF) inclusion fund a 30,000-metre drill season starting now. Argentina's RIGI (a federal tax-equalization regime for large projects) should cut Unico's tax burden and improve project returns once included. Management expects a re-rate from about $2 per resource ounce toward $10-15 per reserve ounce once the maiden reserve lands.

Key Highlights

brief
  • Sam Leung has sat on the board since 2018, helping to rescue the company
  • Cited as a regional exploration success story and used as a comparable drilling-reporting cadence for Centauri

Centauri Minerals recently debuted on the TSX-V via an Aldebaran spin-out, giving investors a fresh entry to 40,000 hectares across six Northern Argentina gold-copper-silver projects. A desktop resource update at the flagship Rio Grande project roughly doubled contained gold, copper and silver, anchoring a near-C$30M treasury raise. Two rigs mobilize in Q4 2026: one tests shallow oxide gold and copper, the other chases the deep sulfide source beneath historic high-grade intercepts. At the second project, Agua Scolianta, an AMT and IP geophysical program just started using the same crew from Rio Grande's recent 3D MT work. Management plans to keep optionality intact, evaluating unsolicited Argentine prospect deals rather than granting third-party options on pieces of the existing portfolio.

Key Highlights

brief
  • Leung notes he was part of the team that formed AbraSilver in 2019 and recently stepped off its board after about eight years
  • Leung frames AbraSilver's 2019 starting point as a comparable for Centauri's potential

Centauri Minerals, a newly listed TSX-V spin-out of Aldebaran, brings 40,000 ha of Argentina gold-copper-silver exposure across six projects. Flagship Rio Grande holds a historical 3M oz gold, 800K tonnes copper, and 30M oz silver — and sits 10 km from Fortuna's Lindero mine. The company raised $30M without warrants and reached ~$100M market cap, with a 12,000m drill program starting Q4. Secondary projects Agua Calientes and Frontera offer high-grade gold-silver boulders and 2 kg/t silver trench upside.

Gold & Silver Just Added $2 Billion to This Project | Aya Gold - Bourmadine PEA

Gold & Silver Just Added $2 Billion to This Project | Aya Gold - Bourmadine PEA

The Deep Dive
26 days ago 13:36

Key Highlights

brief
  • Named in the host's valuation comparison as a silver developer trading at about 0.55 times NPV, roughly half of Aya's 1.1x multiple.

Aya's updated Boumadine PEA doubles the after-tax NPV to US$3.5 billion, but higher gold and silver price assumptions do most of the lifting. AISC (all-in sustaining cost — what it really costs to produce an ounce) rose 27% to $1,300 as grades fell and strip ratios worsened. Roughly four of every five tonnes in the mine plan remain inferred; PEAs allow that, but a prefeasibility study cannot, so conversion risk stays. Aya is starting construction in Q4 2026, more than a year before the feasibility study normally used to justify that decision. Aya trades near 1.1 times NPV, above developer peers like AbraSilver and Vizsla, and its Zagounder mine means Boumadine is not free.

Why Is This $1.5 Billion Gold Story Worth Just $37 Million? | Fredonia Mining PEA

Why Is This $1.5 Billion Gold Story Worth Just $37 Million? | Fredonia Mining PEA

The Deep Dive
about 1 month ago 11:04

Fredonia's El Dorado PEA shows a $1.49B NPV and 65% IRR on just $346M of initial capital, the lowest capital intensity in its peer group. A simple heap leach design drives the cost advantage: crush, agglomerate, stack, and leach — no mill, no grinding circuit. Despite the headline NPV, Fredonia's $36M enterprise value trades at 0.024x NAV versus 0.26–0.6x for peers. The valuation gap is mostly a distribution problem: no conference call, no sell-side coverage, and only 1.3M shares traded on study day. Concerns include a 4.1% contingency budget versus the 15–25% PEA standard, and preliminary metallurgy on 0.47 g/t ore.

AbraSilver Resource– A Series Of Key Project Milestones Achieved in 2026, Transitioning To Developer

The KE Report
about 1 month ago 25:03

Key Highlights

detailed
  • The guest argues AbraSilver is no longer talking about transitioning from explorer to developer - it is now fully executing, with early works construction activities at Diablilos commencing very shortly at site
  • He frames 2026 as a series of transformational milestones: RIGI 30-year stability approval in March, full environmental approvals in June from Salta and Catamarca, a May resource update with gold up ~50% and silver ~25%, and a June DFS showing ~$3B NPV at >40% after-tax IRR
  • In July the company raised over $50M (including another private placement with Kinross), fully financing early works; the larger construction financing package is targeted before year-end to support a formal construction decision in H1 next year and production before end of 2029
  • A heap leach PEA - covering ~130Mt of oxide material previously classified as waste - is expected next quarter and could add ~500koz of additional gold production; the tank leach plant could also potentially double from 9,000 t/d to 18,000 t/d
  • Exploration upside extends beyond the DFS base case: Cerro Viejo (~5km north of Oculto) returned mineralized holes with broad copper intercepts, and adjacent Condor-Yacu to the south produced a standout hole of 72m at 18.7 g/t gold, 117 g/t silver and 2%+ copper

AbraSilver has cleared its 2026 milestones with RIGI approval, environmental permits from both provinces, an updated MRE, and a DFS, fully transitioning Diablillos to active developer. The June DFS shows a 3B base case after-tax NPV at a 41.9% IRR and 20/oz AISC, placing Diablillos among the lowest-cost silver projects globally. A July 50M raise including a Kinross placement funds early works; a larger debt/stream package is targeted before year-end ahead of a Q2 2027 FID. New Executive Chair Marie Inkster, COO Jeremy Weyland, Project Director John Naisbitt, and Director Wendy Kaufman add construction expertise to the team. A Phase 2 PEA on heap leaching 130Mt of previously classified waste, plus throughput doubling studies, point to upside beyond the base case DFS.

Abra Silver Up 45% YTD - More To Come? | John Miniotis and Jimmy Connor

2 months ago 16:31

Key Highlights

detailed
  • DFS delivered a $4.2B CAD NPV (5% discount) and over 40% after-tax IRR, with a 1.7-year payback, based on conservative $50 silver and $3,650 gold price assumptions.
  • The Diablillos project in Salta/Catamarca, Argentina holds ~250Moz silver and ~2.5Moz gold (~500Moz silver-equivalent), with provincial environmental approvals and federal RIGI approval now in place.
  • Phase one targets first production by Q4 2029 at a $720M initial capex, with a 25-year mine life, ~9,000 t/day throughput, and AISC of ~$20/oz silver-equivalent.
  • The oversubscribed $50M raise added less than 2% dilution and lifted cash to ~$70M; a larger debt/stream/equity package for the $720M capex is targeted by year-end.
  • Phase Six step-out drilling continues, including a recent July intercept of 100m at 220g/t silver and 0.7g/t gold at Oculto West, with a resource update planned for next year.

Diablillos' DFS posts a $4.2B Canadian after-tax NPV at conservative $50 silver and $3,650 gold — robust economics investors can actually underwrite. AbraSilver is one of the few mid-tier developers holding Argentina's RIGI — locking in 30 years of tax, FX, and duty stability. With ~$70M cash after the raise, the company is mixing term debt, a silver or gold stream, and equity to fund the $720M capex build. Diablillos targets Q4 2029 first production, with peak output of 19M ounces silver per year — set to be the largest primary silver mine globally. Phase Six step-out drilling continues alongside construction prep, leaving room for resource growth and a possible expansion study.

Key Highlights

detailed
  • The speaker has AbraSilver at a 4 rating and calls it a big deposit that is getting bigger, with multi-phase geology allowing drill results to confirm an anticipatory thesis rather than merely probe for new mineralisation.
  • He frames the recent large financing — which some shareholders saw as dilutive — as the capital needed to finish the exploration stage and reach a feasibility study.
  • He warns investors should expect a boring Lassonde-curve period between the roughly $50 million exploration spend and mine construction, during which drill-related news flow will slow for about 12 months.
  • He says investors unwilling to hold through that quiet period should size their position around the next 12 months of news flow rather than the longer feasibility-to-construction arc.

Rising price is not the same as rising value; resource cycles typically run years, so time preference matters as much as entry timing. Focused copper producers like Southern Copper deliver more leverage than diversified majors such as BHP or Rio Tinto treat copper as a side business. Resource category confidence (measured and indicated versus inferred) and on-site infrastructure matter as much as headline ounces when comparing deposits. Royalty and streaming businesses reward patient capital over years; the next big deals will likely syndicate into bite-sized opportunities for tertiary players. Asymmetric exploration bets work only when the loss is affordable, with Rule framing NG Energy as a possible ten-bagger against a 30 to 50% loss.

The KE Report
2 months ago

Key Highlights

detailed
  • Erfle calls AbraSilver the strongest takeover target in his top 10, arguing it has neither mine builders nor a project finance package in place even as a construction decision nears.
  • He says the company just released a definitive feasibility study, is raising $50 million rather than assembling a full finance package, and expects a finance package toward the end of the year.
  • He describes it as arguably the best primary silver project owned by a junior, with a tight share structure, a growing resource and ongoing discovery potential from continued drilling.

Precious metals look to be basing after a normal correction: gold held $4,000 and GDX/GDXJ held weekly support, suggesting the secular bull remains intact. Rising rates historically coincide with gold rallies — the '70s and 2022 onward both saw gold climb while the Fed hiked, countering rate-hike fears. Clearing 90 on GDX and 120 on GDXJ (the gold miner ETFs) would give the all-clear; sentiment and open interest already sit at bear-market lows. Erfle rotated oil profits into Alamos Gold, Perpetua Resources, and New Pacific Metals, buying quality during drawdowns and diversifying across jurisdictions. His top JMJ winners — Montage Gold, AbraSilver, and GoGold — show why management quality, tight share structures, and jurisdiction diversification drive junior returns.

Honey Badger Silver Stock With 10X Potential

Honey Badger Silver Stock With 10X Potential

The Gold Bull
2 months ago

Key Highlights

brief
  • The host cites AbraSilver as a peer comparable trading at over $4 in enterprise value per resource ounce with a $2.24 billion market cap as of early August 2026.
  • He ranks AbraSilver's project among the top three undeveloped silver projects in the world, alongside Vizsla Silver and Honey Badger.

Honey Badger Silver's enterprise value per resource ounce (30 cents versus over $4 at peers) implies more than 10-times re-rating potential, the host argues. The flagship Prairie Creek project in the Northwest Territories holds 407 million silver-equivalent ounces (all metals expressed as silver) at about 800 grams per ton. Existing infrastructure — a 1,000-ton-per-day mill, roads, an airstrip and 5 kilometers of underground workings — makes Prairie Creek a restart rather than a new build. An updated PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment — an early-stage economic study) due in Q3 and 17% management ownership anchor the investment case. The presenter discloses owning shares and frames the pullback from $1.19 to 70 cents as a potential entry point ahead of catalysts.

  • Cole says Elemental paid roughly $13 million for the Diablillos royalty, has already recovered more than half of that through pre-production payments, and puts the non-discounted NPV-0 of its exposure at over $200 million.
  • Cole says Argentina's government has changed and become supportive, even incentivized to move Diablillos rapidly toward production, summing it up as 'rocks don't change, politicians do.'
  • Cole groups Diablillos with his best discovery-optionality wins: an asset that was not well loved when bought but has seen immense new discovery as the jurisdiction improved.
  • Host Shad Markwitz argues AbraSilver is now probably right behind Vizsla as one of the best silver projects on the planet, after years when nobody ranked it there.

Discovery optionality is why investors own royalties: counterparties spend hundreds of millions exploring ground where Elemental holds a royalty slice. The net asset value per share trend is the best single KPI for comparing royalty companies and exposing dilution discipline. Cornerstone assets keep compounding: operator expansions at Timok, Caserones, Karlawinda, and Laverton grow resources and production without extra royalty cost. Recent catalysts include the US$25 million Chapi copper financing, the pending Vizsla Royalties acquisition, and first Russell index inclusion. Underwriting stays conservative: modeled production is delayed one to two years beyond operator timelines, and buybacks signal shares trade below NAV.

This Could Be Silver’s Next Monster Mine | AbraSilver Diablillos DFS

This Could Be Silver’s Next Monster Mine | AbraSilver Diablillos DFS

The Deep Dive
3 months ago

Key Highlights

detailed
  • The speaker leads with the Diablillos Phase 1 production profile: a 9,000 tonne-per-day open pit processed through tank leaching that the July 2026 feasibility study expects to average about 20.3 million ounces of silver equivalent in the first five years (13.9 million ounces of silver plus 89,000 ounces of gold), which he argues would rank it as the largest primary silver mine globally, on a reserve base of just under 366 million ounces of proven and probable silver equivalent at 146 grams per tonne.
  • On the study's base case of US$50 silver and US$36.50 gold, the speaker reports an after-tax net present value of C$4.2 billion at a 5% discount rate, an IRR of 41.9% and a payback of 1.7 years, and notes management also published an 8% discount figure plus spot-price and plus-or-minus 20% scenarios that he says are not worth examining closely given the July 2026 price action.
  • For valuation, the speaker divides the C$4.2 billion NPV across roughly 160 million shares for about C$26 per share against a price near C$13 at the time of recording, putting enterprise value at about C$2 billion and EV-to-NAV near 0.49 times, versus senior silver producers he says trade well north of 1 times and up to 2 times NAV.
  • On capital and funding, he cites US$722 million of initial capital including US$98 million of contingency (US$229 million process plant, US$165 million indirects), US$520 million of sustaining capital over the life of mine and an all-in sustaining cost of US$19.98 per ounce, and says the CEO quoted in the video calls that amount easily financeable through equity, debt and stream terms.
  • On timing, the speaker says a preliminary economic assessment on the heap-leached material is due by the end of July 2026, that management is targeting a final investment decision within 12 months and first production by the end of 2029, and that locking in the funding in a silver tape that had just dropped more than 5% in a day and roughly halved from January highs looks like the harder part.

Junior miners cannot choose when good news lands, and this feasibility study hit on a day silver fell more than 5%. Phase one is a 25-year open pit processing 9,000 tonnes of ore a day, averaging 10.3 million silver-equivalent ounces annually. The first five years average 20.3 million silver-equivalent ounces, so the profile is heavily front-loaded rather than level. AISC (All-In Sustaining Cost — what it really costs to produce an ounce) of $19.98 and $722 million of capital look readily financeable. Senior producers trade above one times NAV while developers sit at a discount; the host puts this project near the peer average.

  • Rick says much of the AbraSilver DFS NPV uplift does come from a metals-price re-rate, but that is legitimate because the old study was done at much lower silver prices.
  • He has two concerns: he would like to see a higher average grade, which he expects to come, and he fears the upfront capital cost may be understated given the remote location.
  • He argues the deposit will — not might — get bigger with exploration and develop high-grade components, so the DFS, while sufficient to build and finance the mine, understates its real size and tenor.
  • Rick knows the ground from decades ago, when he and Bob Quartermain bought the deposit for Silver Standard, and notes the Salta region has developed considerably since.

Falling share prices against rising values signal a bargain season; Rule urges investors to pre-build tiered shopping lists before forced selling creates bargains. Mining costs are inflating: consumables rise near 10% compounded versus stated CPI, so AISC (All-In Sustaining Cost — full production cost per ounce) climbs industry-wide. Rule favors uranium's remaining upside after the hated-to-not-hated move, sees a multi-year US natural gas upcycle, and still expects five-to-ten-year metals bull markets. Rule backs B2Gold and OceanaGold at low cashflow multiples, seeing resolved construction problems and quiet Mali diplomacy as mispriced strengths supporting further gold-sector M&A. Ivanhoe Mines offers compelling value for DRC-risk takers as Kamoa-Kakula repairs, a new smelter, and two more tier-one deposits reshape 2027 cashflow.

AbraSilver Resource – Key Takeaways From The Definitive Feasibility Study and Future Value Drivers

AbraSilver Resource – Key Takeaways From The Definitive Feasibility Study and Future Value Drivers

The KE Report
4 months ago

Key Highlights

detailed
  • The guest CEO calls the June 22 definitive feasibility study a company-transforming moment that moves AbraSilver from explorer to developer, with phase-one economics of C$4.2 billion after-tax NPV, an IRR over 40%, and payback under two years.
  • The DFS converts most of the measured and indicated resource into roughly 365 million ounces of proven and probable silver-equivalent reserves (over 180 million ounces of silver), estimated at $29.50/oz silver and $2,800/oz gold — a figure he says would top 400 million ounces at spot prices.
  • Phase one is a 9,000 tonne-per-day, tank-leach-only operation with a 24-year mine life, targeting over 20 million ounces of annual silver-equivalent production in the early years, which the guest says would make it the largest primary silver mine in the world.
  • Management aims to announce a financing package of equity, debt and possibly a stream for the roughly $720 million initial capex by late Q3 or early Q4 2026, keeping a final investment decision on track for Q2 2027, and says the company is building the project itself rather than entertaining a sale.
  • Growth levers beyond the DFS remain: a heap leach PEA is due by the end of June 2026, throughput expansion scenarios of 13,000–18,000 tonnes per day are under study, the final Catamarca permit is expected imminently, and phase six drilling keeps adding gold, silver and copper.

AbraSilver's feasibility study confirms a fully permitted, construction-ready silver project with 41.9% IRR and after-tax NPV worth 4.2x its initial capital. AISC (all-in sustaining cost — what it really costs to produce an ounce) of $20 per ounce ranks Diablillos among the world's lowest-cost silver projects. Management says first-phase output of 20 million silver-equivalent ounces a year would make Diablillos the largest primary silver mine globally. A final investment decision is targeted for Q2 2027 with first production before end-2029, and financing news expected by late Q3. The CEO argues the shares trade near half of NAV (net asset value — a project's per-share worth), with heap leach and expansion upside ahead.

brief
  • Rule says the same test he applies to Banyan applies to AbraSilver: the company has to understand its ore body well enough that exploration becomes predictive.

Rule expects peace to drag oil toward the high $50s, a capitulation he says could hand long-term buyers a strong entry point this summer. A hawkish Fed should keep gold equities weak through August, but he sees major gold miners discounting prices well above published estimates. Two standout drill holes, one in Argentina's Vicuña district and one in Kazakhstan, landed with only muted market reaction, hinting exploration value is underpriced. Mining's capital demands explain why most projects reach the market through public equity after years of patient private funding. For bulk commodity investors, he screens for top-quartile costs and top global returns on capital, not headline production growth.

  • The CEO confirms that, as of the May 2026 interview, the company expects to make a production decision by the end of the year and to start construction early next year once project financing is in place.
  • The project received its EIA approval from the province of Salta a few weeks before the interview, and the final Catamarca EIA approval is expected imminently, which the CEO says would fully de-risk environmental permitting.
  • An updated mineral resource estimate puts the project at about 450 million ounces silver-equivalent, with measured-and-indicated silver up roughly 25% and gold up roughly 50% in the 10 months since the prior estimate of about 350 million ounces, and Phase 6 drilling still ongoing.
  • The pre-feasibility study showed about $540 million US in upfront capital, payback in under a year, and an IRR approaching 100% at prices near the interview date; an updated definitive feasibility study is due later in the quarter.
  • Under Argentina's RIGI regime, now officially approved, the company gets 30-year fiscal stability, elimination of export duties, a 25% instead of 35% tax rate, and no foreign-exchange restrictions; the CEO says the pre-feasibility study put the benefit at well over $1 billion of additional life-of-mine free cash flow.

Salta province approved AbraSilver's Environmental Impact Assessment (the key mining permit), leaving only Catamarca's approval before a construction decision. A definitive feasibility study with updated economics is due this quarter; the earlier study showed about $540 million in upfront capital. The updated resource estimate grew measured and indicated silver 25% and gold 50% in ten months, reaching roughly 450 million silver-equivalent ounces. Argentina's RIGI incentive regime (30-year fiscal stability, no export duties) adds over $1 billion in projected life-of-mine free cash flow. Shallow oxide mineralization keeps mining costs low; CEO John Miniotis expects construction to start early next year once project financing is arranged.

AbraSilver significantly expanded its Diablillos project MRE to 454 Moz AgEq in M&I, representing a substantial 30% increase in contained silver-equivalent metal. The company secured a key environmental permit (DIA) from Salta Province, de-risking the project and paving the way for a near-term construction decision. Investors should watch for major near-term catalysts including the Q2 DFS release and ongoing Phase 6 exploration results expanding deposit scale.
