Obituary recounts life and career of alumnus and preeminent novelist Philip Roth

A recent documentary centers on Boston’s WBCN radio, a 40-plus year fixture on the New England airwaves. Rock radio is fading out in many cities around the country. Last month, WAAF, a rock radio station in Massachusetts, was sold and abruptly changed its format after 50 years. It’s been more than a decade since WBCN left the air. Both stations were widely heard in New Hampshire. We could focus on the demise, but Bill Lichtenstein, a filmmaker and one-time ‘Rock of Boston’ staffer, decided to tell the story of the beginning of WBCN. He started back in 1968, as a 14-year-old kid answering the station’s listener line. This transcript of Rick Ganley's conversation with Bill Lichtenstein has been lightly edited. Lichtenstein: People were told call with anything – questions, your roommate's having a bad acid trip, whatever, and we'll be happy to try to help you. And so I started answering the listener line.

Silver47 Exploration Corp. is set to start trading around November 14, 2024 on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol AGA.

"With silver prices breaking out, we are excited to bring Silver47 to the market, and I believe that we are in for a good run in the metals market," Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Gary Thompson said.

The company is "extremely undervalued" when compared to peers, at US$0.17 per silver equivalent (AgEq) ounce, Thompson told Streetwise Reports in a Nov. 6 interview.

The CEO also noted that Silver47 has begun ramping up its marketing efforts, given the final prospectus is now filed as its trading debut is fast approaching.

Building Silver Ounces

Based in British Columbia (B.C.), Silver47 is a mineral explorer with a diverse portfolio of silver-polymetallic projects in North America, including Red Mountain in Alaska, Adams Plateau in B.C., and Michelle in the Yukon. Its flagship asset, Red Mountain, is a volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit rich in silver, gold, zinc, copper, and lead.

"When you have these three or four or five metals, the combination can be favorable and actually normalize metal price volatility, improve your production profile, and increase your margins with good metal recoveries, of course," Thompson noted.

Red Mountain's current NI 43-101 compliant resource stands at 15,600,000 tons (15.6 Mt) of 7% zinc equivalent in the Inferred category. This is equal to 168,600,000 ounces (168.6 Moz) of 335.7 grams per ton of silver equivalent.

Chen Lin, asset manager behind What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling? wrote on Oct. 28. "The Red Mountain Project has a lot of exploration upside."

The company aims to expand the Red Mountain resource with its "Exploration Target" of 50-75Mt at 300-400 g/t AgEq for and estimated to 500–900 Moz of AgEq and advance it toward development decision, while generating new discoveries.

"Our goal is to really focus on the precious metal part of the system," Thompson said. "That's the reason we got interested in it, simply because of some impressive silver and gold drill intercepts in the system, and we want to flush those out. And so we're going to try and improve that precious to base metal ratio or the overall resource."

Chen Lin, asset manager behind What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling? wrote on Oct. 28. "The Red Mountain Project has a lot of exploration upside."

Thompson highlighted how minerally endowed and prolific VMS systems can be, citing the Kidd Creek mines as examples. La Rond, Flin Flon, and Noranda, to name a few. Kidd Creek, in Ontario, Canada's Abitibi greenstone belt, is one of the world's largest VMS ore deposits. The operation began producing copper, zinc, and silver in 1966 and is now owned by Glencore International Plc (GLNCY:OTCMKTS; GLEN:LSE).

Red Mountain, located about 100 kilometers south of Fairbanks on state-managed lands, is in a top-tier, pro-mining jurisdiction. Alaska ranked as the 11th most attractive jurisdiction for mining investment out of 86 places worldwide last year, according to the Fraser Institute.

"We have strong support from the state to advance this and to work with us on upgrading these various infrastructure components to the project," Thompson said, referring to enhancing the road access, for example. Project accessibility is reasonable, he added but has room for improvement.

Silver47 boasts an experienced technical and management team led by founder, geologist, and company builder Gary R. Thompson, who also is cofounder, chairman, and CEO of Brixton Metals Corporation (BBB:TSX.V). Prior to starting Brixton Metals, he sold Sierra Geothermal Power to Ram Power in 2010. Silver47 going public will be his fourth public company, the fourth one being Gold79 Mines Ltd. (AUU:TSXV; OTCQB:AUSVF). His experience in resource exploration, including precious and base metals, renewable energy, and oil & gas, spans 27 years,15 of them in public markets. His history includes positions at Newmont Alaska Ltd. and NOVAGOLD Resources Inc. (NG:TSX; NG:NYSE.MKT), as well as discovering and selling the TAG gold-silver prospect to Taku Gold Corp. (TAK:TSX.V; TAKUF:OTCMKTS). Also, he sold the Kahuna claims in Nunavut, near Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.'s (AEM:TSX; AEM:NYSE) Meliadine mine, to Kodiak Copper Corp. (KDK:TSX.V) and Solstice Gold.

Experts Still Bullish on Silver

Today, U.S. election euphoria is boosting the stock markets but depressing precious metals, noted Technical Analyst Clive Maund in a report on Nov. 6. On this day, hours after the U.S. president-elect was announced, silver opened at US$31.04/oz, lower than the day before by 5.22%. Only two weeks ago, the price, in comparison, had broken through US$35/oz.

This current bearish trend should end once the high surrounding the election dissipates and reality sets back in, Maund purported. When this happens, "we will see money flow back into the precious metals and other such assets, as they must hold their value in an environment where inflation is continuing to mount," he wrote.

According to economies.com on Nov. 6, for the silver price to turn around, it must first breach US$32.50 and then $33.04/oz. This will "push the price to turn to rise."

While the price of silver experiences volatility, its supply and demand fundamentals remain constant. Worldwide demand for silver, valued as an industrial and precious metal, is expected to increase 2% this year over last, to 1,200,000,000 ounces, yet supply is projected to drop 1%, according to The Silver Institute. This year, the global silver market is forecasted to face a deficit of 259 Moz, Money Metals reported The Silver Investor's Peter Krauth in a recent presentation.

Most, or 60%, of silver demand is for industrial applications, including electrical, electronics, printing, medical, space technology, and the military-industrial complex. Given its use in electric vehicles, photovoltaic panels, and batteries, silver is critical to the global green energy transition. Demand for use in photovoltaic panels alone this year will be about 232 Moz, nearly three times the 80 Moz needed in 2020, according to The Silver Institute.

The remaining 40% of total global silver demand is for jewelry, silverware, and investments.

New applications of silver continue to be discovered in biotech, for example, according to The Pure Gold Co. As technology and the global economy evolve, so will silver's industrial uses, Matt Watson, founder and president of Precious Metals Commodity Management, told Kitco News. Expansion of the artificial intelligence industry will boost demand for silver, too, for use in energy storage, transportation, nanotechnology, and more.

"[Silver] is the do-it-all metal on the Periodic Table," Watson said. "I don't see any fundamental downside to silver."

Looking ahead, experts expect the silver price to keep rising over time. Dominic Frisby of The Flying Frisby wrote recently, "There is not a lot standing in the way of silver and US$50. In that scenario, the miners will go to the moon. If it breaks above US$50, there is nothing but blue sky above."

Krauth thinks the silver price could actually reach triple-triple digits, or US$300/oz, based on the technical and historical indicators, he said in a recent video. "I don't believe it will stay there, but I do think that it could be in our future."

Ownership and Share Structure

Silver47’s three largest shareholders are Eric Sprott, Crescat Capital, and management.

The silver explorer has a tight share structure with 50 million (50M) total shares, 65M fully diluted. Thompson said it would begin trading with a CA$40 million market cap.

Drilling and field operations at Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.'s (GCC:CSE; GCCFF:OTC; A0RLEP:WKN; 3TZ:FSE) past-producing Quesnelle project in British Columbia's Cariboo Gold District continue to find the yellow metal throughout the project, from visible gold in drill cores to mineralization in outcrop samples.

President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Callaghan told Streetwise Reports that despite the high level of experience on his team, several geologists had never seen visible gold before, and their first views of it were "priceless."

"It was on the outside of this piece of core," Callaghan said. "And then the core had split … and there was more gold on the inside of it, as well."

Callaghan said he's drilled "hundreds and hundreds" of holes, but he "can count on my hands how many times I've seen it (visible gold)."

He said the company is seeing the gold in "every drill hole," so they keep moving forward chasing the deposit and working at the site 24 hours a day.

And according to Callaghan, the structure of the mineralization is "thickening up" as they drill. The technical team has also recognized multiple types of quartz veins that can contain gold, a common feature in large gold deposits of similar nature.

Last month, the company announced it was even forced to stop drilling in a vein zone at the property due to proximity to Osisko Development Corp.'s nearby mineral claims. Drill hole QGQ24-17 was terminated at a depth of 477.32 meters, and the "only thing that stopped us from drilling further was the claim boundary with Osisko," Callaghan said at the time.

On Tuesday, the company announced rock sample results from its 2024 field campaign, which found up to 8.47 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) in one outcrop in the Halo zone and 1.13 g/t Au in another outcrop near the Pioneer showing.

"Although there is a lot of glacial cover on this project, our geologists still managed to find new gold-bearing outcrops in areas of great significance," Callaghan said in a release announcing the results. "We have now expanded the surface footprint of gold mineralization at the Halo zone to the northeast and increased the strike length of our gold trend. We're in a very large gold system that is being demonstrated by multiple, varied work programs."

Drilling 'Nonstop' and 'Underbudget'

Golden Cariboo, a Canadian explorer-developer, is targeting a potential multimillion-ounce gold resource at the 3,814-hectare Quesnelle project, where gold, silver, lead and zinc were produced historically, according to its Investor Presentation.

The company's neighbors in the mining district include Osisko's Cariboo Gold Project, Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. (SPA:TSX.V) (Spanish Mountain deposit), Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd. (OMM:TSX.V; OMMSF:OTCMKTS) (Wingdam mine) and Taseko Mines Ltd. (TKO:TSX; TGB:NYSE.MKT) (Gibraltar mine).

Callaghan began rediscovering the Cariboo Camp in the mid-1990s as Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. He and his then team discovered a gold deposit at Bonanza Ledge and advanced the project to production. He also assembled and developed the Cariboo Gold Project. Ultimately, Osisko Royalties acquired Barkerville and the assets in 2015 for US$338M. Osisko is about to restart mining operations in the camp.

Subsequently, in 2019, Callaghan acquired the Quesnelle Gold Quartz project, where he aims to repeat his previous successes, given the property's geology is similar to that of the other two projects.

Previously, the company reported observing multiple instances of visible gold in several holes earlier this fall and summer.

"Visible gold in current drilling indicates potential for high-grade assays from mineralized targets," Couloir Capital Senior Mining Analyst Ron Wortel wrote in a recent research report.

Given that Golden Cariboo is continuing its exploration program at Quesnelle throughout 2024, near-term catalysts include drill and assay results demonstrating significant grades or widths and better-defined mineralization controls and trends, according to Wortel.

Callaghan told Streetwise Reports that drilling continues to be "nonstop" and underbudget."

External catalysts include market transactions in the junior mining space involving projects or companies in the Cariboo region. Reports by Osisko Development of project advancements or production results relative to adjacent land also could boost Golden Cariboo's stock price.

The Catalyst: Index Also Confirms Bull Run for Junior Stocks

Experts agreed gold is in a bull market and expect it to go higher. However, after hitting a record high of US$2,790.15 per ounce last week, spot gold was down more than 3% to a three-week low on Wednesday morning as investors moved to the U.S. dollar after Donald Trump's election as U.S. president on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Market participants are also looking ahead to the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on Thursday for further clues on the bank's easing cycle, Reuters said.

"A clear presidential victory when the market has been pricing in a contested result, removal of an element of risk, Trump-trades include the dollar's strengthening this morning and the combination of the two has brought gold lower," StoneX analyst Rhona O'Connell said, according to Reuters.

Gold's rise has "resulted in big returns for the investors who bought in earlier this year," Angelica Leicht reported for CBS News last month. "For example, the investors who purchased gold in March when it hit US$2,160 per ounce have seen their gold values increase by nearly 27% in the time since. That's a huge uptick in value in a matter of months, especially on an asset that's known more for long-term growth."

Recently polled London Bullion Market Association members indicated they believe the gold price could reach US$2,940/oz during 2025, reported Stockhead on Oct. 28.[OWNERSHIP_CHART-11131]

"Combined with expectations of lower global interest rates, this further enhances gold's attractiveness as an investment," the article noted.

As for gold equities, the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (SPCDNX) confirmed a bull run for junior, intermediate, and senior mining stocks when it closed above 1,000 recently, Stewart Thomson with 321Gold wrote. The index is a key indicator of the health of the general gold, silver, and mining stocks market.

Ownership and Share Structure

According to Golden Cariboo, management and insiders own 30% of Golden Cariboo Resources. President and CEO Frank Callaghan owns 16.45% or 6.93 million shares; Elaine Callaghan has 0.97% or 0.41 million shares; Director Andrew Rees has 0.79% or 0.33 million shares; and Director Laurence Smoliak has 0.3% or 0.13 million shares.

Retail investors hold the remaining. There are no institutional investors.

The company said it has 50.3 million shares outstanding, 24.83 million warrants, and 3.8 million options.

Its market cap is CA$9.63 million. Over the past 52 weeks, Golden Cariboo has traded between CA$0.08 and CA$0.36 per share.
