Upside Gold Corp. (CSE: UG) is advancing its Kena Gold-Copper Project in British Columbia following its January 2026 listing. CEO Sophy Cesar outlined plans to complete a 5,000-metre drill program this year, with results expected in September. The project hosts a 3.31 million ounce historical gold resource, which the company aims to upgrade to NI 43-101 standards by year-end. Upside Gold is also evaluating silver and copper contributions, which could expand the overall resource. The company is working with a lean team and existing infrastructure to advance the project in a cost-conscious manner. [more]

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]

At PDAC 2026, Robert Boyd of Endurance Gold outlined recent progress at the Reliance Gold Project in British Columbia. The company recently reported an inaugural inferred resource totaling 1.45 million ounces of gold and plans additional drilling to expand the system. An $8 million financing is expected to fund exploration, including step-out drilling and new target testing across the property. Several undrilled targets show encouraging geochemical signatures and strong gold values. The project sits near the historic Bralorne mining camp and continues to build momentum as the company advances drilling, metallurgical work, and early economic studies. [more]

PDAC 2026 will feature two technical sessions examining brownfield and greenfield exploration strategies. The brownfield session focuses on expanding resources around existing or past-producing mines, highlighting lower geological risk, faster timelines, and capital efficiency. Case studies include copper, gold, and IOCG systems in established districts. The greenfield session reviews recent discoveries and emerging districts, including gold, potash, copper-gold, and uranium projects. These presentations illustrate differing risk-return profiles, infrastructure requirements, and exploration economics. Together, the sessions demonstrate how brownfield extensions and greenfield discoveries both contribute to long-term mineral supply and reserve replacement across global jurisdictions. [more]

Part of the PDAC 2026 technical program will examine supply security challenges across critical minerals, uranium, and potash, highlighting their strategic importance to energy, food production, and national security. Sessions will address by-product recovery from existing operations, uranium’s evolving role in the energy transition, and potash’s exposure to trade and geopolitical risks. Industry leaders, analysts, and technical specialists will discuss processing innovations, market fundamentals, and policy considerations shaping future supply. The program reflects how governments and companies are responding to resource constraints, geopolitical pressures, and shifting demand across these strategically significant commodity markets. [more]
