    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 Secures $670M Silver Stream on Fruta del Norte | Adam Lundin

    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 Founder Clive Johnson to Step Down as CEO in June

    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.

    $250B Copper Shortfall Forces New Era of Streaming Deals | Rick Rule

    Rick Rule, President and CEO of Rule Investment Media, joins Kitco Mining’s Digging Deep with Paul Harris to break down what he sees as a structural capital crunch in copper and a turning point in mine finance. Rule says “the copper industry requires at least $250 billion in capital expenditure over the next 10 years to maintain current levels of output,” arguing that traditional funding sources are falling short. He explains why Wheaton Precious Metals’ $4.3 billion silver stream with BHP, announced February 17, 2026, may signal a new era of mega-deals, and how royalty and streaming companies could further lower their cost of capital through long-dated bonds backed by existing streams. On Lundin and BHP’s Vicuña project, following the integrated PEA released February 17, 2026, Rule says if the “most exciting copper discovery on the planet” struggles to meet hurdle rates, it may point to copper’s true incentive price. Rule also contrasts what he calls “the best permitting environment that we've seen in the last 30 years” at the US federal level with the latest legal setback for Alaska’s Pebble project, including a Department of Justice brief filed February 16, 2026. In this interview, Rick Rule also discusses:  • Streaming arbitrage and copper’s capital gap  • Copper IRRs and long-term price signals  • US permitting signals from Arizona to Pebble 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. 00:51 - Rick Rule Copper Bootcamp: Investing in Copper in 2026 03:45 - Wheaton–BHP $4.3B Silver Stream Deal Explained 09:24 - Franco & Wheaton 20–30 Year Bonds: Lowering Cost of Capital 11:16 - Lundin & BHP Vicuña PEA: 400kt Copper, $7.1B Stage 1 Capex 14:08 - Copper Price Floor?

    Goldstorm Metals (TSXV: GSTM) President and CEO Ken Konkin joins Kitco Mining’s Investment Trends with Paul Harris to outline the company’s 2026 drill campaign in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, targeting a large copper-gold-silver system along the same regional trend that hosts KSM, Treaty Creek, and Brucejack. Konkin says the focus is a 1.2 km IP chargeability anomaly on the Orion Spine, adding, “we're after the elephant here, not the, not the mink or the fox here, we're after the elephant.” Goldstorm plans a 3,000 m first-pass program this summer to test what Konkin described as “a large 1 billion ton target,” with success defined as intercepting “0.3% copper, say a gram gold over hundreds of meters.” He also pointed to historic drilling on trend that returned “222 meters of 0.9 gold.” Beyond the deep porphyry target, Konkin highlighted high-grade gold-silver upside at Delta West, including surface samples up to 39.9 grams gold. With over $1 million in treasury and what he called “a very safe geopolitical arena,” he argues the region remains underappreciated, adding, “This is truly a silver belt as much as it is a gold belt.” 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. 02:20 – From Tudor Gold to Goldstorm: The November 2022 Spinout Strategy 03:55 – The Structural “Pendulum”: Why This Trend Hosts Giant Deposits 05:26 – Exploration Template: Geophysics, Chargeability & “Hunting the Elephant” 07:46 – Defining Success: “1 Billion Ton” Target & What a Hit Looks Like 09:10 – 3,000 m Drill Plan: Spacing Strategy & Resource Timelines 11:01 – AI in Exploration: Where It Works and Where It Doesn’t 13:24 – Surviving the Junior Financing Market Since 2022 15:43 – High-Grade Upside: RUM, Electrum & the Silver-Gold Trend 18:41 – 2026 Field Strategy: Target Selection & Phase Two Funding 20:18 – Drill Logistics: July Start, Helicopters, Camp & Assay Timing 21:11 – Silver Economics: Why “This Is Truly a Silver Belt” 25:07 – Next 12 Months: Catalysts, Delta West & 39.9 g/t Surface Gold __________________________________________________________________ Kitco Mining is dedicated to reporting on the mining industry.

    Discovery Silver Lays Out Path to 500K–750K Gold Ounces | Mark Utting

    Mark Utting, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations at Discovery Silver, joins Kitco Mining to explain how the company is generating gold cash flow in Canada while advancing one of the world’s largest undeveloped silver projects in Mexico. Discovery produced more than 66,000 ounces of gold in Q4 2025 and about 180,000 ounces from the April acquisition close through year end at the Porcupine complex in Northern Ontario. With more than $410 million in cash, no debt, and access to a $250 million revolving credit facility, the company is reinvesting cash flow to scale production toward 500,000 to 750,000 ounces per year over the next three to five years. A key catalyst is the potential restart of the historic Dome Mine, which hosts an estimated 11 million ounces of gold in resources and could add 200,000 to 250,000 ounces of annual production. Utting also provides an update on the Cordero silver project in Mexico, including permitting progress and Discovery’s focus on minimizing dilution. “We give dual exposure on the precious metal side,” Utting said.
