Magna Mining | R2 Discovery: Copper, Nickel & PGMs | Cash Flow Positive at McCreedy West

Catt Calls: No Fear Finance

Show Notes

Jason Jessup, CEO of Magna Mining (TSX: NICU), explains what a new strategic investment from Alpayana, the private Peruvian miner with five producing mines in Peru and one in Mexico, means for the company's Sudbury growth plans. He covers McCreedy West's turnaround and positive cash flow, the upcoming Levack PEA and Crean Hill pre-feasibility study, and why he expects Magna Mining to be a significant copper equivalent producer by 2029, with nickel, platinum, palladium, gold and silver as by-products.Jason also discusses the high-grade R2 discovery at Levack, where drilling has intersected massive chalcopyrite veins running 20 to 30% copper, with nickel and platinum group metals in the mix. He also talks about hiring 50 miners this fall, his plans to grow through further Sudbury acquisitions from Vale and Glencore, and why he thinks some deals could be bigger than the KGHM acquisition. Recorded at the Rapallo conference on 13th September 2026 and interviewed by Simon Catt. 00:00 Magna Mining CEO Jason Jessup 00:44 What Alpayana's investment means for Magna Mining 03:35 Production outlook: two studies due and the 2029 target 04:27 McCreedy West: the turnaround and cash flow 05:24 Accelerating Levack and Crean Hill 06:40 20-30% copper veins and "tremendous upside" | R2 Discovery 07:28 Platinum, Palladium & Gold Discoveries 08:37 What's next?

In just two months, John Dorward, executive chairman of Ausgold (ASX: AUC) and Roxmore Resources (TSE: RM), delivered two golden exits worth over a billion dollars in cash and shares for shareholders. In this episode, Simon Catt sits down with John Dorward to unpack how he did it: from spotting a mispriced asset and solving the farmer access dispute that stalled Ausgold’s Katanning Gold Project for years, to backing a credible team with deep-pocketed investors and knowing when to sell rather than build. John Dorward shares what he looks for in a project (value, resource quality, jurisdiction and fixable problems), how his thinking has shifted at a $4,000 gold price, why Converse in Nevada became a $550 million sale to SSR Mining (NASDAQ: SSRM), and whether he thinks the gold cycle still has legs. He also previews what’s next for the new spinco coming out of Roxmore, with its Rattlesnake Hills and Newton projects, and gives his views on StrikePoint’s (TSX-V: SKP) recent acquisition of the Northumberland Gold Project from Newmont.00:00 Introduction00:25 Two golden exits in two months: How?02:18 When to choose an opportunity: Value first04:18 Ausgold case study: the resource and the farmer dispute07:02 Winning over investors to back the story10:45 Build it or sell it?

The Tungsten price is up around 10x in a year, so have we missed it? In this Coffee With Catt, Simon Catt says we’ve missed the easy money but not all of it, and explains why he’s started building a position in Blue Moon (TSX: MOON) and The Elmet Group (NASDAQ: ELMT) after visiting its Springer tungsten mine in Nevada. We look at why tungsten is the “war metal”, how US-China rivalry and global rearmament are driving demand, and what the US Department of War’s $450M investment in Elmet (ELMT), with $150M passed on to Blue Moon, means for the only significant US tungsten mine. Simon also explains why he’s buying even though he expects tungsten prices to fall over time, walks through the plan to restart Springer, compares Blue Moon and Elmet with MP Materials, and responds to Viceroy Research’s short attack. 00:00 Introduction00:45 Did We Miss the Tungsten Move?02:00 Blue Moon Metals & Elmet Group - Springer: America's Next Tungsten Mine04:00 What's Driving The Tungsten Market?05:41 US & Global Defense Spending 07:23 Forever Wars - Cumulative US Military Interventions08:25 The Elmet Group - Tungsten Demand For Defense 09:30 Will China Flood The Market With Tungsten?

Vizsla Copper's SVP Corporate Development, Keith Bodnachuk (standing in for Vizsla Copper CEO Craig Parry) explained how Vizsla Copper (CVE: VCU), spun out of Vizsla Silver (TSE: VZLA) and part of the Inventa group, has built up its copper portfolio through M&A, from the Woodjam and Poplar porphyry projects in British Columbia to the Palmer VMS project in Alaska. He covered the strong drill results at Palmer, including a new discovery at the HG prospect awaiting assays, and the Agnico Eagle deal that adds the Delta and Helm Bay projects and makes Agnico the company’s largest shareholder at just under 20%. He also spoke about his day job at Cosa Resources (TSXV: COSA), which has the same discovery team behind IsoEnergy’s Hurricane deposit, and outlined its Athabasca Basin drilling plans at Murphy Lake North and Derby, backed by Denison as largest shareholder.

Northumberland is a past-producing, Carlin-style deposit with an initial resource of 2.86 Moz AuEq indicated and 1.57 Moz AuEq inferred (about 4.4 Moz in total), and Michael Allen explains why he compares it to Betze-Post, why he thinks Newmont let it go, how the deal came together in about six months, and how he plans to drill it out and build the team ahead of a major project update in late 2027 or early 2028.

Sun Valley Minerals CEO Christo Stem joins Simon ahead of the company's Toronto Stock Exchange listing to explain how it has quietly become the largest landholder in Uruguay, and why it is fully funded to start drilling as soon as it lists. Sun Valley Minerals has grown its Taruman belt position from roughly 50 kilometers to close to 150 (licences granted and applications filed), with high-grade gold occurrences at surface along tens of kilometers of strike, and is already building a pipeline at Plumas Doradas. The company has C$15 million in the bank after two raises of just over $8 million and $10 million, has bought its own RC and core rigs, and has hired a drilling manager out of South Africa to run drilling in-house rather than rely on contractors. That funds at least 20,000 meters of RC drilling, with around 10,000 meters of deeper core to follow. For anyone following gold stocks, junior mining stocks or gold exploration, the tell is in the share register: Kinross Gold (TSX: K) lifted its position from 9.9% to 14.9%, and Altius Minerals (TSE: ALS) has participated in every raise. Christo Stemmet also makes the case that this is a multiple-discovery story rather than a one-project company, or as he puts it, 'There's just so much gold in the system.'"00:00 Welcome Back to Rapallo Sun Valley Minerals00:30 New Shareholders and TSX Listing01:20 Uruguay Gold Exploration Project Overview02:45 Drilling in Uruguay04:05 TSX Listing Timeline, Drilling & Financing05:30 Cash Runway and Goals07:30 What's the Size of the Prize?
