The Conversation (0)
Red Cloud is excited to announce its annual Pre-PDAC Mining Showcase, taking place on February 27 and 28, 2025, at the OMNI King Edward Hotel Toronto.
This flagship event will feature over 90 resource companies presenting, plus welcome CEOs, high-net-worth and institutional investors - capped off with an engaging keynote agenda.
After a year of strong commodity prices and overlooked junior resource stocks, 2025 is ushering in a shift as investors return to the sector. Gold is leading the resurgence, reaching record highs above US$2,900, driving free cash flow for producers and increasing demand for new development projects.
As Red Cloud's Pre-PDAC conference approaches, industry leaders are eyeing key junior companies as prime acquisition targets, signaling a turning point in the commodity cycle. With the valuation gap between producers and projects at extreme levels, senior mining companies are poised to move into growth mode for the first time in a decade.
Founded by capital markets professionals with extensive experience in the junior mining sector, Red Cloud offers a unique platform that helps companies navigate growth opportunities through expert guidance and innovative financial solutions.
"Gold's strength is reigniting interest in the junior resource sector, creating new opportunities for investors and companies alike. With producers generating strong cash flow but facing a need for growth, we expect increased M&A activity and a renewed focus on high-quality development projects. This shift marks an exciting turning point, and Red Cloud is committed to helping our clients capitalize on the momentum," said Bruce Tatters, CEO, Red Cloud Securities

Australian Critical Minerals to acquire significant gold and copper portfolio in mineral rich Peru
Highlights
- ACM has entered into a binding Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Circuit Resources Pty Ltd which owns several potentially transformational gold and copper projects in highly prospective locations in Peru.
- Targeting gold and copper, with high grade silver and base metals a secondary focus.
- Blanca Gold Project is a low-sulphidation epithermal quartz vein with substantial previous drilling and trenching identifying high grade gold.
- Drill results include:
- Bonanza drill grades to 52.8g/t Au over 1.5 metres within 9.5m @ 11.27 g/t Au
- 4m @ 3.97 g/t Au, including 1.75m @ 7.5 g/t Au
- 1.5m @ 22.68 g/t Au within 5m @ 7.04 g/t Au
- 1.2m @ 8.13 g/t Au within 7.37m @ 2.44 g/t Au
- 6m @ 2.31 g/t Au (refer to Figure 4 and Appendices 3 and 4 for full results of the drill and trench sampling program). (1,2,3)
- Only partially drilled - 2km of the 3km strike remains to be drilled
- Drill results include:
- The Riqueza Copper-Silver Project is a district-scale, intermediate-sulphidation vein system extending over a 10 km strike length, which has undergone substantial exploration by previous operators.
- Copper grades from 1% to 8.7% and silver assays to 2,238 g/t in historic surface rock chip samples
- The Flint Gold Project hosts a 6 sq km high-sulphidation system with strong geophysics and geochemistry,
- directly bordering Peñoles’ San Juan copper deposit—highlighting shallow gold potential.
- Cerro Rayas hosts eight high-grade zinc-lead-silver workings along 8 km, with rock chips grading over 40% Pb+Zn—showcasing standout exploration potential (refer to Figure 15 and Appendix 6 for further details).
- Completion of oversubscribed $1m placement to support exploration across new and existing projects.
Australian Critical Minerals Managing Director, Dean de Largie commented, “The acquisition of Circuit Resources is a significant opportunity for ACM, delivering a pipeline of high-impact exploration projects across gold, copper, silver, zinc, and lithium in Peru. The scale and quality of these assets—spanning over 25,000 hectares— give us immediate drill-ready targets and exceptional scope for new discoveries.
Projects like Riqueza, with high-grade copper-silver veins over several kilometres and proximity to majors like Anglo American, offer Tier-1 potential. Blanca has already demonstrated strong gold mineralisation, while Cerro Rayas and the Salar projects provide exposure to critical metals with potentially strong demand tailwinds.
This acquisition significantly strengthens our portfolio, and we’re excited to begin unlocking value with aggressive exploration in the near term.”
