Yukon prospector Bernie Kreft joins Mining Stock Daily for a long-form conversation on mineral exploration, project generation, and the decades of persistence required to build successful discoveries in Canada’s north. Bernie reflects on the early struggles of the business, from borrowing money for Christmas presents while raising young children to eventually helping generate projects tied to discoveries like Banyan, Sitka, and American Eagle’s NAK copper-gold system. The discussion dives deep into how Bernie evaluates ground today, why permitting and access matter just as much as geology, and how years of field experience have shaped his instinct for identifying scalable mineral systems. He also shares stories from decades spent prospecting throughout the Yukon and British Columbia, including the realities of placer mining, following gold-bearing systems back to their source, and recognizing when a property truly has mine-building potential. Bernie explains why he believes the best prospectors think from the “top down,” focusing not only on discovery but on whether a project can realistically become a mine decades into the future. The conversation also highlights the role family plays in the Kreft business, with Bernie working alongside his sons while now thinking about future generations and building something that extends far beyond a single discovery or market cycle. From couch-side deal negotiations to prospecting trips with his children and grandchildren, this episode captures the deeply personal side of exploration and why the search for mineral wealth remains as much about legacy as geology.______Terrahutton empowers junior mining companies to secure investment with immersive, interactive, and visually striking storytelling.

Sirios Resources CEO Jean-Félix Lepage joins MSD's Ian Wagner in Frankfurt to discuss the Cheechoo gold project in Quebec’s James Bay region. Lepage outlines the project’s nearly three-million-ounce resource, including an open-pit component grading above one gram per tonne with a low strip ratio. He also discusses the company’s recent financing, a planned 25,000-meter summer drill program, a resource update expected before year-end, and a PEA targeted for the first half of next year. Sirios trades on the TSX-V under SOI.

Aldebaran Resources continues advancing the massive Altar copper-gold project in Argentina with new infill drill results aimed at upgrading inferred resources into measured and indicated categories ahead of next year’s pre-feasibility study. CEO John Black discusses the latest wide intercepts from Altar East and Altar United, the ongoing geotechnical drilling campaign, and how the company is evaluating different development scenarios ranging from a hybrid open pit-underground operation to a potentially larger-scale mine plan. The conversation also touches on key upcoming catalysts including a new mineral resource estimate expected later this year, potential participation in Argentina’s RIGI incentive framework, and the continued advancement of the Centenario spinout package. With more drill results pending and the project steadily moving toward pre-feasibility, Aldebaran says Altar is entering a critical stage of long-term de-risking and value creation.

Amarc Resources CEO Dr. Diane Nicolson joins MSD's Ian Wagner in Frankfurt to discuss the company’s three copper-gold porphyry districts in British Columbia: Joy, Duke, and Ike. Nicolson highlights the Aurora discovery at Joy, describing it as a near-surface, high-grade gold-enriched copper porphyry that could help unlock the broader district. She also discusses Freeport’s continued funding at Joy, Boliden’s partnership at Duke, and the company’s broader strategy as a discoverer, developer, and transactor of major copper-gold systems.

Gold Hunter Resources CEO Sean Kingsley and VP Exploration Rory Kutluoglu join Ian Wagner in Frankfurt to discuss the Great Northern Project in Newfoundland. The company has consolidated a 26,000-hectare land package along the Doucers Valley Fault, bringing together historic drilling, a small existing resource at Thor, and multiple underexplored targets. Kingsley and Kutluoglu discuss the project’s infrastructure, airborne geophysics, planned 10,000-meter inaugural drill program, and the broader opportunity to build on Newfoundland’s growing gold exploration and M&A momentum.

Hayasa Metals CEO Joel Sutherland joins MSD's Ian Wagner in Frankfurt to discuss the company’s gold and copper exploration strategy in Armenia. Sutherland outlines the broader Armenia thesis, pointing to underexplored geology in the Tethyan Belt, improving Western engagement, and growing interest in critical minerals. He also discusses Hayasa’s partnership with Teck at the Vardenis copper-molybdenum project, ongoing work at Urasar, and plans to add three new properties this year. Hayasa trades on the TSX-V under HAY and Frankfurt under FR20.

Gold Hart Copper continues expanding its footprint in Chile’s Vicuña district after filing applications to acquire a historic gold-copper-silver project with past production and historic resource estimates potentially exceeding 4 million ounces gold equivalent. CEO Isaac Maresky discusses why the company aggressively pursues strategic ground consolidation through Chile’s government auction process and how this latest potential addition could significantly strengthen Gold Hart’s growing portfolio. The conversation also provides updates from Tolita, where the company recently completed nine drill holes including a deep 1,053-meter diamond hole and several RC holes targeting high-grade surface mineralization. With assays pending from Tolita and geochemical work continuing at Nessa, Gold Hart says it remains fully active across multiple exploration fronts in one of the world’s premier copper-gold districts.

Cassiar Gold CEO Marco Roque joins Ian Wagner in Frankfurt to introduce the company’s district-scale gold project in northern British Columbia.

He discusses Cassiar’s 2.3-million-ounce resource, existing infrastructure, a permitted mill, past-producing mines, and the company’s longer-term goal of growing toward at least five million ounces.
