On July 8th, Rick Rule<\/strong> tweeted that Mogotes Metals (TSXV: MOG)<\/strong> reported one of the "best drill holes I've seen in 50 years in exploration finance"<\/strong> and we looked at it and were like what is he talking about it's not even close<\/strong><\/span>. The market was already fully pricing in<\/strong><\/span> those types of intercepts for Mogotes<\/strong>, unlike<\/strong><\/span> with Super Copper (CSE: CUPR)<\/strong> and GSP Resource (TSXV: GSPR)<\/strong>. GSPR<\/strong> is currently priced for failure<\/strong><\/span> at 1\/38th<\/span> of MOG's market cap<\/strong> when its initial assay results for 8 drill holes directly adjacent<\/span><\/strong> to Teck's Highland Valley Copper Mine<\/span><\/strong>, the #1 largest<\/span> copper mine<\/span><\/strong> in all of Canada, will potentially be ready next week. Super Copper (CSE: CUPR)<\/strong> has two flagship district-scale<\/span> copper projects<\/span><\/strong> in Chile near Mogotes<\/strong>, but at less than 1\/9th<\/strong><\/span> of MOG's market cap<\/strong>, and will begin to publish its Cordillera Cobre assay results<\/strong> in early October. CUPR<\/strong> is a portfolio company of Apeiron Investment Group<\/strong>, which just sold its last company, AtaiBeckley<\/strong>, to Eli Lilly<\/strong> for billions<\/strong><\/span>. For CUPR<\/strong> and GSPR<\/strong>, almost nothing is priced in yet. If they report something even a fraction<\/strong><\/span> as good as Mogotes<\/strong>, they could get rerated<\/strong><\/span> immediately.<\/p>\n\n

MOG<\/strong> has a close relationship<\/strong><\/span> with Rio Tinto<\/strong>, similar to Saga Metals (TSXV: SAGA)<\/strong>. One of Rick Rule's biggest<\/span> success stories<\/span><\/strong> is how he provided the initial funding<\/strong><\/span> for Altius Minerals (TSX: ALS)<\/strong>, which became the world's #1 most successful<\/span> prospect generator<\/strong>. ALS<\/strong> has made a fortune<\/strong><\/span> in Labrador<\/strong> because it acquired<\/strong><\/span> a royalty<\/strong><\/span> in Voisey's Bay<\/strong>, located to the north of SAGA's Wolverine Heavy Rare Earth Project<\/strong>. Altius<\/strong> was the first company to recognize<\/strong><\/span> the potential for Wolverine<\/strong> to become North America's #1 largest<\/span> Heavy Rare Earth Project<\/strong>. SAGA acquired<\/span> Wolverine<\/strong> this year and its maiden drill program<\/strong><\/span> launched<\/strong><\/span> last month. A total of 249 surface samples<\/strong> at Wolverine assayed<\/span><\/strong> for Dysprosium<\/strong> and Yttrium<\/strong> across a massive footprint<\/strong><\/span> of approximately 26 sq km<\/strong><\/span>. The price of Dysprosium outside<\/span><\/strong> of China is up 41.77%<\/strong><\/span> year-to-date in 2026 and is priced 6.7x higher<\/strong><\/span> than Dysprosium<\/strong> in China. The price of Yttrium outside<\/span><\/strong> of China is up 36.96%<\/strong><\/span> year-to-date in 2026 and is priced 188x higher<\/strong><\/span> than Yttrium<\/strong> in China.<\/p>\n\n

Rick Rule<\/strong> is also an investor in Talon Metals (TSX: TLO)<\/strong>, and they legitimately did report<\/strong><\/span> yesterday what NIA considers the #1 greatest<\/span> drill hole<\/strong> that we have seen in our 20 years of researching junior mining\/exploration stocks. Talon intercepted<\/span> 46.43 meters<\/strong> grading 13.37% Ni<\/strong><\/span>, 16.54% Cu<\/strong><\/span>, 0.10% Co<\/strong>, 7.85 g\/t Pd<\/strong><\/span>, 14.49 g\/t Pt<\/strong><\/span>, and 8.56 g\/t Au<\/strong><\/span>. NIA would like to congratulate<\/span> Rick Rule<\/strong> and Talon<\/strong> on their amazing<\/span> drill hole<\/strong> at the Tamarack Nickel Project's Vault Zone<\/strong> in Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n

Rick Rule<\/strong> made an amazing call<\/strong><\/span> on Talon<\/strong>, and his Altius<\/strong> is likely to be proven right<\/strong><\/span> about Wolverine<\/strong> as soon as SAGA<\/strong> begins to report initial assay results.<\/p>\n\n

Talon's drill intercept<\/strong> started at a depth<\/strong><\/span> of 752.97 meters<\/strong> downhole, similar to where Barrick discovered<\/span> Fourmile<\/strong>, the #1 largest high-grade<\/strong><\/span> gold<\/strong><\/span> discovery<\/strong><\/span> of the century. This is why Westward Gold (CSE: WG)<\/strong> is raising $12 million<\/strong><\/span> at $0.25 per share<\/strong>, including large investments<\/strong><\/span> from some of the world's smartest<\/strong><\/span> strategic investors<\/strong>. WG<\/strong> has assays pending<\/strong><\/span> from its first 396.2-metre RC drill hole<\/strong> at its SSD Zone<\/strong>, directly adjacent<\/strong><\/span> to Fourmile<\/strong>. WG<\/strong> is about to drill<\/span> four more 914-metre-deep RC holes<\/strong> targeting the hanging wall of Fault-N<\/strong>, where they believe there is potential to discover<\/span> Fourmile-like high-grade<\/span> gold<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

NIA predicts that WG's planned four deep holes<\/strong> have potential for some of the highest-grade<\/strong><\/span> gold<\/strong><\/span> discoveries<\/strong><\/span> in Nevada history:<\/p>\n\n

Talon's Tamarack Nickel Project<\/strong> in Minnesota has an indicated resource<\/strong> of 8.56 million tonnes grading<\/span> 1.73% nickel<\/strong> for 326 million pounds<\/strong> of nickel<\/strong>, plus an inferred resource<\/strong> of 8.46 million tonnes grading<\/span> 0.83% nickel<\/strong> for 154 million pounds<\/strong> of nickel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Homeland Nickel (TSXV: SHL)'s Cleopatra Project<\/strong> in Oregon has a total historical resource estimate<\/strong> of 39.474 million tons grading<\/span> 0.93% nickel<\/strong> for 733.15 million pounds<\/strong> of nickel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Homeland Nickel (TSXV: SHL)'s Red Flat Project<\/strong> in Oregon has a total historical resource estimate<\/strong> of 18.761 million tons grading<\/span> 0.84% nickel<\/strong> for 316.61 million pounds<\/strong> of nickel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Between Cleopatra<\/strong> and Red Flat<\/strong>, Homeland Nickel (TSXV: SHL)<\/strong> has total historical resources of approximately 1.05 billion pounds<\/strong> of nickel<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n

Homeland Nickel's Cleopatra<\/strong> and Red Flat<\/strong> projects feature nickel<\/strong> that occurs at surface<\/strong><\/span> and is hosted in laterite soils, meaning extraction could resemble large-scale earthmoving operations rather than conventional hard-rock mining. In many cases, the first<\/span> 20–40 feet of material<\/strong> can be removed without<\/span> drilling<\/strong> or blasting<\/strong>, similar to a gravel-pit operation, potentially allowing for lower-cost<\/strong><\/span> and more scalable<\/strong><\/span> mining scenarios.<\/p>\n\n

Temas Resources (CSE: TMAS)<\/strong> owns<\/span> patented<\/span> RCL technology<\/strong> that would allow for the low-cost<\/span> processing<\/span><\/strong> of Homeland Nickel's nickel laterite<\/strong> (US Patent 10,053,750 B2).<\/p>\n\n
