EDM Resources Inc. is advancing plans to restart the Scotia Mine in Nova Scotia, a past-producing zinc-lead operation with existing infrastructure. CEO Mark Haywood highlighted new revenue streams, including gypsum, gold, and silver, alongside core zinc and lead production. A new prefeasibility study is expected in 2026, while the company moves through final permitting with a Fisheries Act application. EDM is also pursuing an OTCQB listing to expand investor access. With improving commodity prices across its metals and by-products, the Scotia Mine is positioned as a near-term restart opportunity with multiple catalysts ahead. [more]

At PDAC 2026, Glenn Mullan of Val D’Or Mining discussed the company’s exploration strategy and partnership model. Val D’Or Mining focuses on grassroots exploration in Quebec and Ontario and then options projects to partners who fund drilling. Eldorado Gold is the company’s main partner and is advancing multiple properties across the Abitibi region. Mullan also pointed to additional drilling activity from Kirkland Lake Discoveries and Juno Corp. The goal is to generate discoveries while building a portfolio of royalties from early-stage projects. This approach has roots in Mullan’s earlier companies, including Golden Valley Mines and Abitibi Royalties. [more]
