Recording date: 11th June 2026
Elemental Royalty Corporation has emerged as a major player in the global mining royalty sector, following the merger of Elemental Altus and EMX Royalty. The combined entity now holds over 300 mineral property interests across 23 countries, positioning itself as a diversified, billion-dollar company with projected annual revenues nearing $100 million. Its commodity exposure is balanced, with approximately 60% derived from gold and silver, 30% from copper, and the remainder from base metals such as zinc, lead, and molybdenum.
The company operates on a royalty model, enabling it to benefit from mining revenues without bearing operational or capital costs. Its portfolio is structured like a pyramid, combining producing assets for immediate cash flow, development-stage projects for medium-term growth, and exploration-stage properties that offer long-term upside. This structure supports steady revenue generation alongside asset value appreciation.
A key factor in Elemental’s growth is its strategic partnership with Tether, which holds a 32% equity stake and has injected $100 million into the company. This backing lowers Elemental’s cost of capital and provides financial flexibility for acquisitions without relying heavily on equity dilution.
Elemental has also significantly improved its market presence, increasing trading liquidity after listing on the NASDAQ and positioning itself for inclusion in major indexes such as the Russell 2000, Russell 3000, and potentially the GDXJ ETF. These developments are expected to attract institutional investment.
Future growth is driven by major projects such as the Timok copper deposit in Serbia and the pending Vizsla silver-gold royalty acquisition in Mexico. With strong exposure to both precious metals and energy-transition commodities, Elemental is well positioned to benefit from global demand trends while maintaining a low-risk, capital-efficient business model.

Interview with Kyle Floyd, CEO of Vox Royalty Corp.
Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/from-one-asset-to-eight-how-vox-royalty-tsxvoxr-is-building-a-cash-generating-royalty-powerhouse-7187
Recording date: 10th June 2026
Vox Royalty Corp reported a record-setting first quarter in 2026, underscoring a period of accelerating growth driven by both strategic acquisitions and a strong gold price environment. The company generated $16 million in royalty receipts, alongside record operating cash flow and earnings per share exceeding $0.30. Management attributed this performance largely to a $60 million portfolio acquisition completed in September 2025, which added high-quality royalty assets that have since benefited from operational improvements and rising commodity prices.
Building on this momentum, Vox introduced its first long-term financial outlook, projecting annual royalty receipts of approximately $66 million by 2030—nearly double its current guidance range of $32–$37 million. Notably, this forecast is based բացառively on existing assets, excluding potential upside from future acquisitions or the resolution of ongoing litigation related to the Red Hill royalty.
A central element of Vox’s investment case is its perceived valuation gap. The company currently trades at roughly $300 per gold equivalent ounce (GEO), significantly below peers such as Triple Flag and Franco-Nevada, which trade closer to $1,200 and $1,800 per GEO, respectively. Management argues this discount is difficult to justify given Vox’s reported 28% return on invested capital and growing production base.
Financially, the company remains well positioned, with no debt, available credit of up to $75 million, and a disciplined acquisition strategy focused on under-the-radar, pre-production royalties. Near-term catalysts include potential mine life extensions, ongoing drilling activity across its portfolio, and the possible unlocking of the Los Filos stream—acquired for a nominal cost but potentially worth up to $50 million.
Overall, Vox Royalty presents a growth profile anchored in existing assets, with management emphasizing both operational execution and valuation re-rating potential.

Interview with Thomas Lamb, CEO, and  George Van Der Walt, Senior Geologist, of Myriad Uranium Corp.
Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/myriad-uranium-csem-from-historical-data-to-drill-confirmed-resource-the-phase-2-plan-10192
Recording date: 10th June 2026
Myriad Uranium Corp (CSE:M) is an early-stage uranium developer with three projects located entirely within the United States, at a moment when domestic uranium supply has become a stated federal priority. The company's flagship Copper Mountain project in central Wyoming is the primary investment case: a large-scale conventional uranium asset that was within two years of production before the Three Mile Island accident shut down the US uranium sector in 1979, and which has since sat largely dormant while the geopolitical and policy environment has shifted decisively in favour of domestic producers.
The foundation of the Copper Mountain investment case rests on an unusually well-documented technical record. Union Pacific Railroad and Southern California Edison invested approximately $125 million in today's dollars across the property during the 1970s, drilling 2,000 holes and identifying seven discrete uranium deposits with a combined historical resource of 27 million pounds. In 1982, Bendix Engineering commissioned by the US Department of Energy assessed the broader district and estimated a potential uranium endowment of up to 655 million pounds. While the figure is not a current NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate, but it is an independent government study, and it frames the scale of what Myriad is working to define.
More recently, Myriad's own Phase One drill programme at the Canning Deposit returned laboratory assay grades 50–60% higher than the historical gamma probe measurements on which prior resource estimates were based. The practical implication is that those historical figures were likely conservative a conclusion that Phase Two drilling is now designed to test across all seven deposits. The company has also completed a district-wide airborne magnetic and radiometric survey that identified significant uranium signatures in an eastern zone of the project area, entirely beyond the historical drilling footprint, representing a material exploration upside that has not yet been reflected in the market.
Phase Two drilling begins shortly, funded by a cash position of approximately $12–13 million which is sufficient to advance the programme without near-term dilutive pressure. The pending acquisition of Rush Rare Metals will deliver 100% ownership of Copper Mountain, simplifying the asset structure. A planned uplisting to the TSX Venture Exchange and subsequent US exchange listing is expected to broaden the investor base.
The two secondary assets, Red Basin in New Mexico, where Myriad retains a 10% free-carried interest following a sell-down to a well-capitalised technology-backed consortium, and the Breccia Pipe project in Arizona, optioned to Wedgemont Resources at no cost to Myriad provide additional optionality without requiring capital deployment.
The United States currently consumes approximately 50 million pounds of uranium per year and produces roughly one million. That structural gap, combined with an executive policy framework explicitly supporting domestic uranium development and the prospect of floor pricing for US-produced uranium, creates a favourable environment for developers with permitted, drill-ready US assets. Myriad's current market capitalisation of approximately $40 million reflects its CSE-listed junior status more than the scale of the asset it is advancing. As Phase Two results begin to flow, that disconnection may not persist.

Interview with Keith Boyle, CEO & Director of New Found Gold
Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/new-found-gold-tsxvnfg-fully-funded-drill-program-for-2026-10527
Recording date: June 9th 2026
New Found Gold Corp (TSXV: NFG | NYSE-A: NFGC) is advancing two gold projects in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Its flagship Queensway Gold Project hosts a NI 43-101 resource of 1.39 million ounces of indicated gold at 2.40 g/t and 0.608 million ounces of inferred gold at 1.77 g/t. The Hammerdown Gold Project, acquired in 2025, provides access to the Pine Cove Mill, a fully permitted, operational processing facility that will receive Queensway Phase 1 ore from Q4 2027, with commercial production targeted for 2028.
Hammerdown is in the final stages of its ramp-up to commercial production, defined as sustained 700 tonne-per-day throughput with consistent grade from the open pit. At steady state, the operation is projected to generate $40 to $50 million per year in free cash flow at an AISC of approximately $2,500 per ounce - sufficient to cover corporate overhead and fund the exploration program. The Pine Cove Mill is being doubled in throughput capacity as part of the Phase 1 capital program, removing the need for a separate processing facility at Queensway. A $220 million financing package closed in April 2026 funds Phase 1 construction, with $148 million in cash and marketable securities held as of May 2026.
Queensway Phase 1 targets approximately 100,000 ounces per year in the first two years at grades of 12 to 12.5 g/t and an AISC of around $1,300 per ounce. The PEA's base case at US$2,500 gold shows an after-tax NPV of C$743 million, an IRR of 56%, and payback of under two years. The operational team being assembled at Hammerdown, including newly promoted General Manager of Mines Mark Ross, will transfer directly to Queensway.
A 90,000-metre drill program is underway across a 110-kilometre land package, with the Dropkick zone, returning intercepts of up to 42.79 g/t Au over 14.95 metres and excluded from the current MRE, among the key targets. An updated resource estimate incorporating Dropkick is expected in 2026.

Interview with Bradley Langille, President & CEO of GoGold Resources Inc.
Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gogold-resources-tsxggd-awaiting-final-permits-and-green-light-for-227m-silver-mine-6812
Recording date: 9th June 2026
GoGold Resources has secured the long-awaited environmental permit for its Los Ricos South silver-gold project in Mexico, clearing the final regulatory hurdle and enabling a formal construction decision. The company expects to begin mobilizing within weeks, marking a major transition from development to build. Backed by a strong financial position, GoGold holds approximately $280–285 million in cash against a total project capital requirement of $227 million, allowing it to fully fund construction without raising equity or taking on debt. This funding strength is supported by steady annual free cash flow of $70–80 million from its producing Parral mine.
The project is already well advanced, with roughly 75% of detailed engineering completed and key long-lead equipment, including the SAG mill and filter presses, secured. Major contractors have been engaged, and critical infrastructure such as a 36-kilometre power line is under construction. This level of preparation reduces execution risk and could accelerate the estimated 24-month build timeline.
Los Ricos South is expected to produce 7.3 million silver-equivalent ounces annually at a low all-in sustaining cost of $12 per ounce, positioning it as a high-margin operation. Notably, the mine’s design prioritizes early access to high-grade ore, which is projected to generate around $400 million in after-tax free cash flow within the first 18 months of full production—nearly double the initial capital investment.
At the same time, GoGold is advancing the nearby Los Ricos North project, located 18 kilometres away, with plans to align its permitting and development timeline to follow South. Together, the two projects form a broader district strategy that could support long-term production growth.
With a fully funded build, strong cash flow, and a clear expansion pipeline, GoGold is positioned as a financially resilient and operationally prepared player in the silver mining sector.
