McEwen Inc. (NYSE: MUX) $14.97, Interview. Argentinian Copper Project, Gets Noticed.
Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSXV:FAIR) $0.09. Copperside Project’s 34% Copper Reading, Gets Noticed.
At little something for everyone today!
An interview with a Company with a $15 stock and $800 million market cap, from a CEO worth a reported $800 million.
And Mineral results from a Company with a $0.09 stock and an $8 million market cap, from a Geologist who previously help discover a Copper project (Oyu Tolgoi), with a reported value of $7 billion. Both ideas (in our view) are Copper-centric, though other minerals are present. We got all the bases covered, small to large..
In the last two days, McEwen traded $33,580,955 worth of stock while Fairchild traded $1,157,768 worth. Chose one to study, or chose both. Just don’t sit on the sidelines much longer.
McEwen Inc (MUX)
We attended nearly two-dozen corporate presentations last week at the Denver Gold Conference, and would describe the McEwen presentation as ‘best in show.’
The share price is up 316% from its recent post reverse-split low. We think it still has a long way to go. Watch the video, it’s truly great – not just about the company itself, but also for his sector-wise reviews. Rob has been there, done that. Educational.
- Their Argentina based Los Azules project could transform McEwen Mining (MUX) into a global copper producer, diversifying its portfolio and reducing its dependence on gold.
- The project has the potential to generate massive revenue and cash flow, with an estimated annual EBITDA of $1B; if it materializes, MUX will be a story of total transformation.
- Argentina’s political instability risk, notched down yesterday when U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said swap lines, direct currency purchases, and purchases of U.S. dollar-denominated government debt could be used in support of Argentina, which he labelled a “systemically important U.S. ally in Latin America.”
Fairchild Gold Corp (TSXV:FAIR)
While Fairchild didn’t present at the Denver Gold Conference, we would describe our talks with management, including meeting Dr. Sergei Diakov – their Technical Committee Chair, as ‘best – not in show.‘ As we get our feet wet in this sector, we have already interviewed dozens of mining experts – with few as experienced and successful as Dr. Diakov. In short, if he’s interested – we’re interested.
Sergei’s work on the Oyu Tolgoi (Mongolia) project, lead to the discovery of one of the largest known copper and gold deposits in the world. His work on another project Nuevo Chaquiro (Colombia), resulted in the discovery of another billion dollar find. He is in high demand for his expertise amongst all mining companies, large and small, and can cherry-pick which projects he devotes his time and efforts to.
Fairchild’s previous and current exploration efforts and results have helped them assemble a true ‘dream team’ of Junior mining and financial experts, to re-ignite their numerous Nevada Goodsprings Mining District based projects – some as old as 123 years.
The share price is up 159% from its recent low. We think it also has a long way to go.
First big bit of news this week, is that they completed a small $1,000,000 raise. Nikolas Perrault, CFA, Executive and Chairman of Fairchild, stated about the raise: “..reflects the strong recognition by European investors of the exceptional potential of our Nevada projects and the world class technical and advisory teams we have assembled.”
No cash means no further exploration – so with cash, all systems are go for Fairchild to continue!
The second bit of news yesterday (potentially huge) is they sent a lot (100’s) of small rock samples out to be examined, by outside professionals (as required by law) and some of the results were truly eye popping. They ranged from 15% to 34% at theIR Copperside Area project.
NOTE: A 34% copper assay (examination) is considered very high-grade, especially for copper ore, which usually ranges from 0.5% to 5% in raw form before processing.
So are we all going to be rich? Does this mean we hit the motherlode?
Not really, or at least not yet. But it does clearly indicate that Copper IS there (versus a goose egg), as you can see it in the adjacent photo, and at this early stage there ‘appears’ to be a lot of it there.
Using picks, shovels and dynamite, between 1902 and 1959 projects in Clark County Nevada (where the Fairchild projects are located), produced 305,812 ounces of gold — valued at $1,131,504,400 at today’s prices. Which adds a degree of validity to our wild optimism, and hope that they are on the right path.
It will just take continued exploration, to determine how just much more Copper is there. This takes time, but be aware, the clock is ticking. We would describe this as the “waiting on the edge of your seat” stage.
UNDERSTANDING 34% COPPER ASSAY
Next Steps.
A drone magnetic survey will be conducted by MWH Geophysics and is scheduled to commence on September 30, 2025. This effort is to refine future exploration targeting, which will include completing a targeted IP survey.
An IP survey, short for Induced Polarization survey, is a geophysical technique used in mining exploration to detect subsurface mineral deposits—especially sulfide minerals like Copper. It’s one of the most powerful tools for identifying hidden ore bodies without drilling. Here’s how it works and why it’s valuable:
Induced Polarization measures how well underground materials can temporarily hold an electric charge. When an electrical current is injected into the ground and then turned off, certain minerals (especially sulfides) retain a charge briefly. This retained charge—called chargeability—is measured and mapped to identify potential mineral zones.
How IP Surveys Are Conducted
} Electrodes are placed in the ground in a grid pattern.
} A controlled electrical current is passed through the electrodes.
} After switching off the current, instruments measure how long the ground holds the charge.
} The data is processed to produce maps showing chargeability and resistivity, which help geologists pinpoint mineral-rich zones.
Road Trip to Nevada, to Meet World Renowned Geologist, Dr. Sergei Diakov.
The press release issued yesterday gave details of results of sample rocks they sent out to be examined and returned. They were examined by Activation Labs (49 rock samples) and ALS USA Inc., (116 rock samples) in case you were wondering or are conservatively cautious, like we are.
Press Release: Fairchild Gold Corporation Announces Numerous High-Grade Copper Values of up to 34%
SHOTS ON GOAL (COPPER):
Copperside Area
Azurite Area
Fitzhugh Lee Area
Shenandoah Mine
Smithsonite Mine
Wash Zone
Be forewarned, when we say ‘details’ we do mean details, and many will be impossible to decipher, with term like “..the area hosts altered intrusive rocks with visible copper oxides, including malachite and chrysocolla, and brecciated textures consistent with skarn-style overprinting.” Say what lol?
This one we could understand: “The presence of garnet-bearing skarn textures in the matrix, coupled with elevated molybdenum signatures in nearby samples, provides a strong porphyry affinity.” Not!
