"There's 12 mines on this property, but never once has (it) ever (been) systematically explored for gold until now," said Nuvau Minerals CEO Christina McCarthy.

Nuvau Minerals (TSXV:NMC,OTCPL:NMCPF) is working to restart base metals production in Québec's Matagami camp. It has owned the camp outright since March after closing its acquisition of the property from Glencore (LSE:GLEN,OTCPL:GLCNF), and that has opened the 1,380 square kilometer property to gold exploration for the first time.

Speaking at the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek, CEO Christina McCarthy highlighted recent results from the Thundermine target area. Hole TH-26-08 returned 138.87 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 4.45 meters. TH-26-11, a 50 meter step out, intersected 17.37 g/t gold over 2.4 meters.

Nuvau holds the fully permitted Bracemac-McLeod mine, also on the property, and an option to buy a fully permitted mill for $5 million. That purchase can't go ahead until Glencore submits its closure study to the government. In the meantime, the company is permitting a new tailings facility, which McCarthy said typically takes about two years

"I believe it'll be somewhere around in 2029 that we're actually … producing and cashflowing," she said.

Speaking at the Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit, Blue Jay Gold (TSXV:JAY,OTCQB:JAYGF) CEO and Director Geordie Mark said, "We see the opportunity to expand this resource aggressively over the next few campaigns."

Mark discussed the company's Steller gold project in the Yukon. Recently, the company reported that hole SC26-003 at Skukum Creek intersected 14 meters of 6.15 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 124 g/t silver (8.04 g/t gold equivalent), a step out of about 32 metres down plunge from previous drilling.

"It's good continuity on structure, good continuity on grade and we see the whole system open to depth," Mark said.

At the Becker-Cochran prospect, explored for antimony in the 1960s, preliminary metallurgical testing produced a concentrate grading 66.9 percent antimony at 93.9 percent recovery, above the 60 percent premium threshold the company cites.

Drilling is expected to continue into October, with results through January 2027.

Bill Holter of BillHolter.com believes gold's next leg higher has already begun, and its ultimate catalyst is the financial markets themselves.

"I think price wise, we're early," he said.

"Time wise, I don't think there's a lot of time left before we see the implosion of fiats. The inverse of that is an explosion of prices of everything down to a stick of gum or a cup of coffee."
