Midnight Sun Mining Confirms 12km of Copper Strike with New 2.4km Wide Blowout Zone Discovery
Mining Stock EducationShow Notes
Midnight Sun Mining VP Adrian O’Brien discusses a major milestone for the company’s Dumbwa copper project in Zambia’s Domes Region — 12 kilometers of confirmed strike length and a Northern Block that has expanded to over 2.4 kilometers wide east-to-west.
Adrian explains the Phase One program: nearly 100,000 meters drilled in 12 months, one of the most aggressive junior exploration programs in recent memory. He addresses the painful lab delay issue candidly — 5,000 samples in backlog, Intertek’s equipment and power failures in Zambia, samples rerouted internationally — and makes the case that the logjam is finally breaking.
He distinguishes what Phase Two looks like: targeted rather than broad-brush, surgical infilling, deeper step-out drilling to 600–700 meters, and an extension drive into the newly acquired Mulundu License to the north.
Key points covered: current treasury of $6–8M plus expected warrant exercises; drilling cost of just US$165/meter all-in (vs. US$500–1,000/meter in Nevada); the Kazhiba oxide asset monetization process still underway; and why the geological fundamentals — Lumwana analogue, near-surface mineralization, world-class address flanked by Kansanshi and Lumwana — remain intact despite share price pressure.

He’s watched energy super cycles since the 1970s, and he joins Bill Powers to explain why he thinks the current one, which began in March 2020, could last until 2034–2036. He covers his WTI forecast of $90 for 2027, why he sees oil going past $150 and eventually $200, the natural gas setup for next winter, and why Canadian producers trading at 2–3x cash flow may be the value play of the cycle.

David Erfle joins MSE for his monthly episode. David explains the pullback in gold and silver, what he heard at the Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit, why he’s moving into discovery-stage explorers, the Roxmore Resource and SSR Mining deal, and whether the TSX Venture chart is signaling a top. Dave also explains the necessary project economics for him to buy a developer right now.
CEO Richard Osmond explains sponsor Element 29 Resources’ investment value proposition in this episode. Element 29 is a copper explorer in Peru, and its flagship Elida porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver project already has a 321 million tonne inferred resource. Richard says the goal is much bigger. The company wants to double the size of the pit and is targeting a tier-one deposit of more than 1 billion tonnes at about 0.5% copper equivalent, or roughly 5 million tonnes of contained copper. Element 29 is well funded to pursue that goal. It raised about $47 million in 2026, and with roughly $11 million in warrants coming due, it expects a budget of close to $60 million CAD to be spent over the coming years. Support comes from well-respected, strategic investors such as Randy Smallwood, George Brack, Ross Beaty, and Alex Gubbins.
Bill Powers and co-host Brian Leni sit down for their monthly Junior Mining Insights chat to discuss sector sentiment after the Metals Investor Forum and Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit. Then they cover a range of topics: glossy direct-mail mining stock promotions, why investors should specialize, when management teams should step aside, name changes and rollbacks, short sellers, visible gold in press releases, and why site visits are becoming essential to Brian's process.
