    Kootenay Silver’s La Cigarra Project Enters a New Growth Phase | Jim McDonald

    Kootenay Silver (TSXV: KTN; OTCQX: KOOYF) President and CEO Jim McDonald joins Kitco Mining’s Kitco Spotlight with Jeremy Szafron to discuss the company’s June 15, 2026 preliminary economic assessment for its 100%-owned La Cigarra silver project in Chihuahua, Mexico. The study outlines a 14-year open-pit project with a $763 million after-tax NPV, 41% after-tax IRR, $332 million in initial capital, and a 1.9-year payback. McDonald said the PEA marks a major shift for Kootenay, stating that it is “transitioning us from explorer into a developer.” McDonald also discusses the potential upside at spot silver prices, where La Cigarra’s after-tax NPV rises to $1.295 billion and its IRR increases to 64%. He also outlines the next phase of drilling at La Cigarra and Columba, the project’s position in Mexico’s Parral mining district, potential strategic options, and why he believes silver has entered a multi-year bull market.

    Barrick Breakup, Copper Surge and Mining M&A | Nicole Adshead-Bell

    Nicole Adshead-Bell, Director of Cupel Advisory, joins Kitco Mining’s Digging Deep with Paul Harris to discuss gold M&A, Barrick Mining restructuring speculation, activist pressure at Northern Star Resources, rising copper prices, and capital deployment across the mining sector. Adshead-Bell says potential restructuring at Barrick, Elliott Investment Management’s pressure at Northern Star, and Zijin Gold’s delayed Allied Gold acquisition point to a market demanding simpler stories, stronger execution, and better accountability. She said mining boards need the technical expertise to challenge management, while producers must rebuild trust with investors. “Do what you say you're going to do,” she said. The discussion also covers gold producer expansion plans, the risk of cost inflation as miners deploy cash, copper M&A in Quebec and Chile, and why Adshead-Bell believes copper may need to move toward $7 to $8/lb before major new supply commitments are made. She also explains why higher metals prices are changing the true cost of streams, prepays and hedges. Recorded June 4, 2026.

    Integra Resources Targets 300K-Ounce Gold Growth Plan | George Salamis

    Integra Resources is moving deeper into producer territory as it stabilizes the Florida Canyon gold mine in Nevada and advances the DeLamar gold-silver project through federal permitting in Idaho. George Salamis, President and CEO of Integra Resources, joins Kitco Mining’s Paul Harris to discuss the company’s plan to grow organically into a mid-tier gold producer with more than 300,000 ounces of annual production. Salamis said DeLamar’s Notice of Intent marks the point where the project is no longer preparing for permitting, but is “actually in it,” with the FAST-41 process targeting a Record of Decision in Q3 2027. He also said Integra’s priority is to show Florida Canyon is “not simply a transitional asset,” with an upcoming feasibility study expected in late June or early July. The discussion covers Florida Canyon’s cash flow, DeLamar’s public scoping process, Idaho’s mine development momentum, project financing plans, stakeholder engagement with the Shoshone Paiute Tribe, Nevada North’s move from PEA to PFS, 50,000 meters of planned drilling, and why Salamis believes major gold producers may be nearing the next phase of M&A.
