    Vale Base Metals Eyes 700,000-Ton Copper as IPO Plans Accelerate | Shaun Usmar

    Vale Base Metals CEO Shaun Usmar says the company is reshaping its nickel and copper portfolio as it advances a consortium that will invest more than $200 million in the Thompson Nickel Complex in Manitoba while accelerating high-return copper growth in Brazil. Speaking with Kitco Mining at the 35th BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference, Usmar said the Thompson transaction brings in new capital and partners while Vale Base Metals retains a 19% stake and remains a key customer, positioning the asset for renewed focus after more than 60 years of operation. The company is targeting a doubling of copper production from roughly 350,000 tonnes per year to 700,000 tonnes through brownfield expansions, delivering returns above 25%, with some projects exceeding 50% internal rates of return following capital reductions and design changes. Usmar said operational discipline is driving the turnaround, with EBITDA rising from about $1.3 billion in 2024 to $2.3 billion in 2025 and nearly $1 billion of cash performance improvement, much of it from management actions rather than price. “We exceeded guidance for the first time in the history of this business,” he said, adding that the company is positioning to be IPO-ready by mid- to late-2026 while driving its nickel operations into the lower half of the cost curve.

    First Majestic Doubles Dividend, Eyes Growth to 50M Ounces | Keith Neumeyer

    First Majestic Silver (NYSE: AG; TSX: AG) CEO Keith Neumeyer says silver’s move above $100 per ounce confirms tightening supply-demand fundamentals, even with a correction into the $80–$85 range. Speaking with Kitco Mining at the 35th BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference, Neumeyer said large institutions still “don’t believe the market,” arguing silver equities remain well below prior-cycle valuations despite stronger metal prices. First Majestic generated $250 million in free cash flow in Q4, holds approximately $1 billion in cash, and reported roughly $1.2 billion in revenue last year. The company produced 33 million ounces on an equivalent basis in 2025 and is targeting 50 million ounces longer term through exploration and internal expansions, with about $50 million allocated to exploration and roughly $80 million to development this year. “I think we’ll see 5,000 gold,” he said, adding that silver would go back to “triple digits fairly shortly.” Neumeyer also expects consolidation to accelerate, predicting the mining sector could shrink significantly over the next five years.

    New Gold Extends Rainy River to 2035 After 99% Vote for Coeur Deal

    New Gold (NYSE American: NGD; TSX: NGD) CEO Patrick Godin says disciplined execution and reinvestment transformed the company ahead of its approved acquisition by Coeur Mining. Speaking with Kitco Mining at the 35th BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference, Godin outlined how Rainy River’s open pit was once expected to end in 2027 and the underground in 2030. Through sustained exploration investment, mine life has now been extended to 2035, materially reshaping the company’s long-term outlook. Godin said the transaction expands New Gold from a two-asset producer into a seven-asset, North America-focused portfolio with meaningful silver exposure alongside gold and copper. Shareholders approved the deal with a 99% vote. “We planned the mine, and we mined the plan,” he said, describing a shift toward tighter operational discipline and accountability. The combination adds scale, reduces asset concentration risk, and positions the company for greater stability across commodity cycles.

    Lundin Unveils 70-Year Copper Giant, Targets Top Five Global Scale | Jack Lundin

    Lundin Mining (TSX: LUN; Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) has released the first integrated preliminary economic assessment for the Vicuña copper district in Argentina, combining the Jose Maria and Filo del Sol deposits into a staged development plan. Speaking with Kitco Mining at the 35th BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference, President and CEO Jack Lundin said the project could rank among the top five copper, gold, and silver producers globally. The PEA outlines an initial 25 years, averaging about 400,000 tonnes of copper and 600,000 ounces of gold annually, with peak years exceeding 500,000 tonnes of copper and 800,000 ounces of gold. Full-scale development carries a projected mine life of more than 70 years. “No better project out there that exists today, I believe in the copper sector than Vicuña,” Lundin said. With fiscal stability applications submitted under Argentina’s RIGI regime and a potential final investment decision targeted before year-end, Lundin Mining is positioning Vicuña as a multi-decade copper growth platform. Lundin also discusses financing flexibility and the company’s ambition to become a top 10 global copper producer.

    Collective Targets 5–7 Moz Resource After Major Ramp Intercept | Ari Sussman

    Collective Mining (TSX: CNL; NYSE American: CNL) Executive Chair Ari Sussman joins Kitco Mining’s Investment Trends with Paul Harris to discuss new high-grade drilling from the Ramp Zone at the Guayabales Project in Colombia and the path toward a maiden resource in the first half of 2027. On February 24, 2026, the company reported 54.55 metres grading 7.04 g/t gold and 16 g/t silver from hole APC150-D1, with assay results pending for another 370.25 metres. Sussman said it is “the first time we’ve drilled a ramp from the south in a northeastern direction,” a shift he believes is confirming continuity along the breccia margins. Collective has confirmed 315 metres of high-grade mineralization along the outer southeast margin, with roughly 1,200 metres of additional breccia circumference still to be tested. Visual logging from the first western breccia hole intersected at least 20 metres of Ramp-style mineralization, with assays expected in late March 2026. Sussman said the company is “hoping to drill somewhere between five to 7 million ounces in our maiden resource” while advancing what he called its largest drill year ever at up to 100,000 metres in 2026. He also addresses drilling at San Antonio, tungsten prices up north of 500% over the past 12 months, investor focus on Colombia’s upcoming presidential election, and why he believes major producers face long-term growth challenges that could drive future M&A.

    LunR Royalties (TSXV: LUNR) has announced a $670 million life-of-mine silver stream on Lundin Gold’s Fruta del Norte mine in Ecuador, a deal that delivers immediate precious metals cash flow to the recently listed royalty company. Speaking with Kitco Mining at the 35th BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference in Florida, CEO Adam Lundin described the structure as “a very elegant way to get cash flow into Lunar,” with approximately 50 million LunR shares issued to Lundin Gold for distribution to its shareholders. The stream provides exposure to more than 500,000 ounces of annual silver production, closely aligned with Lundin Gold’s roughly 500,000 ounces of gold output. The transaction increases LunR’s free float, introduces Newmont as a major shareholder with board representation, and positions the company within the underrepresented $1 billion to $10 billion royalty gap. A shareholder vote is required to complete the transaction as LunR scales into a cash-flowing precious metals platform.

    B2Gold (NYSE American: BTG; TSX: BTO) founder Clive Johnson will retire as President and CEO at the company’s annual meeting on June 4, ending a two-decade run that built the miner into a 1 million ounce per year gold producer. Speaking with Kitco Mining at the 35th BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference in Florida, Johnson said it was “a good time to look at passing the baton.” CFO Mike Cinnamond will succeed him, with Johnson remaining as chair emeritus. The transition comes as B2Gold ramps up the Goose mine in Nunavut, where crushing circuit modifications are underway as production moves toward design capacity. The company forecasts 2026 production between 820,000 and 970,000 ounces, with output expected to return to 2025 levels by 2027. In Mali, a regional permit at Fekola is expected shortly and could add 180,000 ounces per year. Johnson said B2Gold is “clearly undervalued” and must “get value for the existing assets” before pursuing acquisitions.
