Highlander Silver (TSX: HSLV)<\/strong> is eliminating<\/strong><\/span> approximately US$100 million<\/strong> of Bear Creek Mining debt + streaming liabilities<\/span><\/strong> through the issuance of 2.25% NSR royalties<\/strong> in Corani<\/strong>, the world’s<\/span> second largest<\/span> undeveloped<\/span> silver project<\/span><\/strong>. If 2.25% NSR royalties<\/strong> in Corani<\/strong> are worth US$100 million<\/strong>, we estimate the market value of Corani<\/strong> to be US$500 million+<\/strong><\/span>, and HSLV<\/strong> is paying only US$138.75 million<\/strong><\/span> for the company. Bear Creek<\/strong> also includes the producing<\/span> Mercedes mine<\/strong>, which Bear Creek<\/strong> itself acquired<\/strong><\/span> for US$100 million<\/strong> in 2022.<\/p>\n\n

NIA’s President<\/strong> just spoke with the CEO of Heliostar Metals (TSXV: HSTR)<\/strong>, and things are going very well<\/strong><\/span>. They met 2025 gold production<\/span> guidance<\/strong> and ended the year with US$41 million in cash<\/strong><\/span> and no debt<\/strong><\/span>. HSTR<\/strong> will be releasing 2026 gold production<\/span> guidance<\/strong> shortly.<\/p>\n\n

NIA initially suggested Total Metals (TSXV: TT)<\/strong> on September 25th at $0.66 per share<\/strong>, and it gained by 112.12%<\/strong><\/span> to a high on October 21st of $1.40 per share<\/strong>. Currently at $0.73 per share<\/strong> with a market cap of CAD$42.521 million<\/strong>, they now own 100%<\/strong><\/span> of two of Canada’s highest-grade<\/span> gold projects<\/span>: High Lake and West Hawk Lake<\/strong>. Click here<\/strong> <\/a> to read about them. In our original<\/span> TT alerts<\/strong>, we explained that the only other small-cap gold explorer<\/span><\/strong> in Canada with similar grades is Blue Lagoon Resources (CSE: BLLG)<\/strong>. BLLG<\/strong> just hit a new 5.5-year high<\/strong><\/span> with a market cap of CAD$151.767 million<\/strong>, and we believe TT’s properties<\/strong> have bigger potential<\/strong><\/span>. TT<\/strong> recently closed<\/strong><\/span> financings that will allow them to begin drilling<\/strong><\/span> very soon.<\/p>\n\n

We don’t know why GSP Resource (TSXV: GSPR)<\/strong> is performing poorly compared to our other stock suggestions. This weekend, we are reviewing every publicly traded company with a market cap around CAD$6 million<\/strong> to see if any others have a 43-101 resource directly adjacent<\/span><\/strong> to a major<\/span> producing<\/span> mine<\/strong>. We are not<\/strong><\/span> aware<\/strong><\/span> of any, and it is extremely unlikely<\/strong><\/span> we will find any.<\/p>\n\n
