An Embarrassment of Riches for Trident, Aztec and Tiger Gold

It appears that every time I open my browser yet another junior lottery ticket announces even more great results. I’ve been thinking we were in a continuing correction, however, the assays coming out are starting to ignite the companies talking about them.

I just wrote a piece on the 15th of April doing a short take on Metalsource (MSM-C) and frankly I’m still waiting for management to flesh out their drill program for me so I can do a complete report. But before I could do that, even more barn burning results came in from even more companies.

Trident Resources (ROCK-V) has long been a favorite of mine for two primary reasons. I happen to be a giant fan of management and more importantly, I bought into the story while the stock was still cheap. So, there is a good chance that eventually I will be able to afford to fill my car with diesel again.

I briefed my readers on the story back in November when the market cap was only $45 million. Now it is $113 million for a 150% gain since back then. I covered them again in mid-January.

And now they want to drop even more giant news in the form of a current press release from the 15th of April reporting Hole CL26028 as 4.61 g/t gold over 38.48 meters. That’s a 177 gram/meter hole. Anything over 100 gram/meters is excellent. For Rock it’s just more of the same old story. I think the company is going to be a ten bagger over time. With $32 million in the till in terms of cash and marketable securities the company is well funded for a heap of drilling.

Aztec Minerals (AZT-V) is another favorite of mine. I visited the project fifteen years ago near Tombstone in Arizona as much for the historical benefit as the technical. Aztec is run by young and aggressive management, my favorite sort. My last report on the company was in January of this year just before the crash in gold. As a result of the rocket ship higher in the price of gold, AZT shares were up to $.38.

Even after multiple 100 gram/meter holes, the company hasn’t drawn the attention of investors in the way I think they should. I cannot explain the mysterious workings in the minds of investors at times. In any case, on the 15th of April, Aztec reported Hole TR26-14 assayed a variety of hits including one of 107.9 meters of 0.618 g/t Au and 24.8 g/t Ag.

I asked the Aztec CEO Simon Dyakowski to translate that into AuEq terms as it is far more meaningful to ordinary investors rather than trying to convert grams of silver into grams of gold.

Simon got back to me and his numbers showed 107.9 meters of .972 g/t AuEq. That gives 105 gram/meters of AuEq which shows just how important that piece of the hole is worth. There were five different zones of oxide gold/silver mineralization in the one hole and that’s even more important. In short, the press release showed excellent results and the market pretty much ignored the news.

I suggested to Simon that instead of reporting in the dry but correct gold in g/t and then silver in g/t they also report as AuEq so it would make the numbers more meaningful for investors. He responded back and said that they had done that for five years with no problem but all of a sudden the TSX gurus refused to accept the AuEq reporting. Assholes.

My last snippet for the day is for Tiger Gold Corporation (TIGR-V) who I covered back in January as well. I’ll plug in an important sentence included in that piece, “The company entered into a purchase option to buy 100% of the Quinchia Gold property located in the Middle Cauca metals belt in central Colombia in December of 2024 with gold hovering just over $2600 an ounce.”

Their timing was excellent. They have hit the ground running and have three drill rigs plugging holes in the ground as I write. The Quinchia property came with 2.09 million ounces of gold in a 43-101 with an additional 495,000-ounce historical estimate at Dos Quebradas. They were absurdly cheap before issuing their latest report on April 15th.

Tiger’s peers are getting an average of $155 USD per ounce AuEq. Tiger gets $22. That isn’t going to last very long. The company has an ongoing 20,000-meter drill program at Quinchia. They reported results from six holes on April 16th this year showing TSDH-78 reporting 169.71 meters of 0.9 g/t Au including some higher-grade intervals internally. That’s just about 153 gram/meters for another home run hole for the company.

Tiger is fully funded for their planned 2026 program in Colombia. Led by some of the most experienced mining professionals I have come across in twenty-five years, I see this also as a ten bagger over time. They are absurdly cheap.

All three companies are advertisers. I own shares in all three and while I have participated in private placements with them, I have also invested in the open market. Of course, I am biased so do your own due diligence.
