    Kootenay Targets 100Moz Silver at Columba Project | Jim McDonald

    Kootenay Silver (TSXV: KTN) is expanding drilling at its Columba silver project in Chihuahua, Mexico, where the company is running a 60,000-meter program aimed at growing the 54.1 Moz inferred silver resource announced in June 2025. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026 in Toronto, President and CEO Jim McDonald said the program is focused on systematic 100-meter step-outs along wide, open-ended veins to define the limits of the known mineralized zones. “Our expectation is to be able to get this to a hundred million or maybe some multiple of that,” McDonald said. Recent drilling results reported March 2, 2026 returned intercepts including 10 meters grading 503 g/t silver plus lead and zinc, as well as 9.88 meters grading 319 g/t silver, highlighting the scale potential of the system. McDonald said Kootenay is also advancing its La Cigarra silver project, where a preliminary economic assessment expected in mid to late Q2 2026 could mark a shift in strategy. “Assuming that we get a positive result in that PEA, we want to now be transitioning ourselves into an explorer developer as opposed to an explorer only,” he said.

    O’Brien Gold Project Growing as 140,000m Drilling Advances | Matt Manson

    Radisson Mining (TSXV: RDS; OTCQB: RMRDF) CEO Matt Manson joins Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026 to discuss the company’s expanding O’Brien gold project in Quebec’s Abitibi region following a March 2, 2026 updated mineral resource estimate. The new estimate outlines about 1.69 million oz. inferred, up 82% from the previous estimate, and 0.63 million oz. indicated, bringing total contained gold to about 2.3 million oz. as Radisson advances its fully funded 140,000-meter step-out drill program. Manson said the system continues to grow, noting, “We think the ultimate target here is something that’s in the three to 4 million ounce range.” The company is still early in the exploration campaign, with only about 25% of the drill program completed as it tests mineralization along the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break in Quebec’s Abitibi belt. Manson also argued that improving gold prices and strong producer balance sheets could drive more investment into the sector. “The junior sector is still seriously undervalued,” he said.

    Dolly Varden Deal Adds Gold Cash Flow to Silver Strategy

    Dolly Varden Silver (TSXV: DV) is advancing its high-grade Kitsault Valley project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle while preparing for a transformative merger with Contango Ore. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026, President and CEO Shawn Khunkhun said the transaction brings gold production and development expertise into Dolly Varden’s growing silver district. Over the past six years, the company has raised $185 million, consolidated multiple past-producing mines across a 100,000-hectare land package, and drilled about 200,000 meters. The project currently hosts 64 Moz of silver at roughly 300 g/t along with about 1 Moz of high-grade gold, with a new resource estimate expected in May 2026. “We’ve got 64 million ounces of silver at roughly 300 grams per ton, complemented by a million ounces of high-grade gold,” Khunkhun said. Recent drilling has also returned 1,400 g/t silver over 20 meters at the Wolf vein, highlighting the district’s high-grade potential. Khunkhun said the merger strengthens the company’s path toward development. “Dolly Varden, through this merger, is buying gold production cash flow,” he said.

    France Gold Project Shows “Many Millions of Ounces” Potential | Chris Taylor

    Aquitaine Metals CEO Chris Taylor joins Kitco Mining’s Investment Trends at PDAC 2026 to discuss the Limousin gold project in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, which he says has the potential to support “many millions of ounces.” Taylor, who previously led Great Bear Resources through its almost $2 billion sale to Kinross, said the project “stood head and shoulders above everything else I looked at” after reviewing more than 100 opportunities. The 330 sq km land package includes more than 1,000 historical mining sites, with modern production between the late 1980s and 2002 totaling about 1 Moz at roughly half an ounce per ton. Recent drilling returned 1.5 m of about 350 g/t gold within a broader zone grading roughly 34 g/t over 15.5 m. The company is completing a 10,000 m drill program and plans another 10,000 m in 2026. Aquitaine plans to take the gold asset public later this year and holds about $15 million in cash in Canadian dollars to fund drilling through 2026.

    Alamos Targets 600K oz Production in 2026 as Expansion Advances

    Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX: AGI; NYSE: AGI) is targeting 600,000 oz of production in 2026 after weather and mill challenges weighed on output in late 2025, even as the company generated record free cash flow last year. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026 in Toronto, President and CEO John McCluskey said 2025 all-in sustaining costs averaged $1,524 per oz, with margins approaching 60% at prevailing gold prices. Fourth-quarter results were affected by issues at the Magino mill and what he described as “one of the worst Canadian winters we've probably seen in 40 years.” “We're absolutely back on track, and we're looking towards 600,000 ounces of production in, in 2026,” McCluskey said. In February 2026, Alamos announced an integration plan combining Island Gold and Magino, targeting roughly 540,000 oz annually at about a $1,250 AISC. Combined reserves now total about 8Moz, supporting long-term production as the company works toward 1Moz annually by 2030. Exploration spending is also rising. “Last year, we spent $72 million on expiration. This year we're going to spend close to a hundred million dollars in expiration.” McCluskey also discusses: • Record 2025 free cash flow and capital discipline • Island Gold–Magino integration and cost reductions • $900M Lynn Lake development in Manitoba • Dividend increase and shareholder returns • Capital discipline across gold sector M&A Don’t forget to subscribe to the Kitco Mining & Kitco News YouTube channels to stay up to date on the latest industry news and interviews.

    Saudi Arabia Doubles Exploration, Opens 13,000 km² | Abdulrahman Al-Belushi

    Saudi Arabia has doubled exploration spending year over year, reaching SAR 1.05 billion in 2024, as the Kingdom pushes to expand grassroots discovery while global budgets remain under pressure. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026 in Toronto, Abdulrahman Al-Belushi, Deputy Minister of Mineral Resources Management at Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, outlined how mining is being positioned as a pillar of industrial strategy. “We look at the mining sector as an economic play rather than a fiscal play,” Al-Belushi said, citing supply chain priorities across gold, copper, rare earths, zinc, and phosphate. Saudi Arabia has about 78,000 km² under exploration license and plans to tender 13,000 km² in 2026 under a merit-based system. Al-Belushi also discusses: • 60% of exploration spending going to grassroots work • Up to $2 million reimbursable support per license, up to 15 licenses • 15% performance bonds to back work commitments • Saudi Arabia’s top 10 global ranking in Fraser Institute’s 2025 survey Don’t forget to subscribe to the Kitco Mining & Kitco News YouTube channels to stay up to date on the latest industry news and interviews.

    AbraSilver Resource Corp. (TSX: ABRA; OTCQX: ABBRF) CEO John Miniotis was named Kitco Mining’s Exploration CEO of the Year at PDAC 2026, as the company advances its Diablillos silver-gold project in Argentina toward a final investment decision in 2026. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026, Miniotis said the project hosts approximately 350 million oz of silver equivalent resources, with measured and indicated resources up 170% since 2020. Shares are up roughly 460% year over year, giving the company a market capitalization of about $2.8 billion. “This will be not only one of the largest primary silver producers in the world,” Miniotis said, citing projected production of more than 13 million oz of silver equivalent annually, including over 7 million oz of silver and about 75,000 oz of gold, at all-in sustaining costs under $13 per oz of silver. He said Argentina’s RIGI framework is “really an absolute game changer,” providing 30-year fiscal stability, a reduced 25% tax rate and removal of export duties. With environmental approvals expected in the coming weeks and a definitive feasibility study targeted for Q2 2026, Miniotis added, “for every 10% move in the gold and silver price, the economics of the project improved by over 30%,” using resource assumptions below $25 per oz silver.
