GREAT FOUNDATIONAL READINGS:
Methodology: Using the Ratio’s.
Dow:Gold Ratio is indicating that Gold is on sale relative to the Dow. When the ratio is between 4-5, it is more favorable to be in general equities and real estate. At present the ratio is 1 share of the Dow = 18 oz of Gold.
Looking further, Silver and Platinum are on sale relative to Gold.
Gold:Silver Ratio At present 1 oz of Gold = 76.5 oz of Silver. When the ratio is between 45-54 trade your Silver in for Gold. Note: Silver Eagles have demanded a significant premium the past 8 months. Which actually reduced the Gold:Silver Ratio inside the 45-54 range.
Platinum:Gold Ratio: At present .59 oz of Platinum is = 1 oz of Gold. When the ratio is equal to and or greater than 1, trade your Platinum in for Gold.

#2 ROYALTY AND PROJECT GENERATORS
Royalty and Project Generators use a unique business model relative to their mining industry peers.
Why: They tend to outperform mining exploration companies accretively (Highlighted Below):
These companies are most speculative and offer tremendous upside and conversely a lot of downside. We are biased and are active buyers of our partner/advertisers found (Here). For a deeper dive into the mining/exploration industry: (Must Reads):
Commit your future to paper. Not having a plan, is a plan. A foolish one, but is a plan. If you don’t have a plan for your savings and investments someone else does. SCHEDULE YOUR PATH.
Be willing to study each of the aforementioned. Don’t believe the hype! Don’t get mislead by fancy thumbnails, price predictions, and narratives on manipulation. Is there manipulation? Yes, in every market! Don’t complain about manipulation, learn to leverage manipulation in your favor by realizing you are being offered a discounted price!
Be pragmatic, and be patient. Your competition is never patient. They want to price to rise on their schedule, which was yesterday. They will be your best friends, because they have have fast hands and love to sell at the wrong time. If the price goes down, and nothing fundamental has changed with management, the project/s, and or results, there is your buying opportunity!!!
Very few investors/speculators are in this space, you don’t have much competition. The best way to beat your competition in this space, is not to follow the herd. Remember, no one get’s it right all the time, you just need to be better than your competition.

Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – December 15, 2022) – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce the imminent resumption of development of its Buckeye Silver Mine near Globe, Arizona.
SBMI plans to extract a bulk sample of mineralized material from the area of the Buckeye Silver Mine known as the Treasure Room, described in a press release of March 1, 2022, located in the upper adit of the Buckeye Silver Mine. Prior to accessing the Treasure Room, screening and rock bolting of the adit is required pursuant to MSHA regulations, which the Company estimates should take approximately one week to complete.
Upon completion of the safety measures, SBMI intends to commence work to extract mineralized material, and the Company estimates that it should take two to three weeks to intercept the veins described in the press release of March 1, 2022. Mineralized material from the floor of the Treasure Room has previously been assayed and results previously reported (March 1, 2022). The Company has previously been able to process mineralized material from this source into dore bars. Further mineralized material from this same source, once extracted, will be processed by the Company’s mill.
SBMI also advises that on a recent site visit to the Buckeye Silver Mine and the Black Diamond Property, the Company’s consulting geologists Robert Komarechka and John Corkery examined and re-logged a portion of core drilled by a prior optionee at the Buckeye Silver Mine in 2017 (press release of December 8, 2022), and extracted samples from the core, from the upper adit of the Buckeye Silver Mine, and from other parts of the Black Diamond Property. Blanks and standards were added, and all samples have been sent to a division of Actlabs for analysis for PGMs.
Messrs. Komarechka and Corkery will be providing the Company with a Report including observations, comments, and recommendations and subject to results of assays, plan a site visit to the Buckeye Silver Mine and the Black Diamond Property early in 2023.

Cautionary and Forward-Looking Statements
Readers should be cautioned that the Company’s decision to move forward with the construction of and production at the Washington Mine and the Buckeye Mine is not based on the results of any pre-feasibility study or feasibility study of mineral resources demonstrating economic or technical viability. The Company has undertaken exploration and development activities; and after taking into consideration various factors, including but not limited to: historical data, the exploration and development results to date, technical information developed internally, the availability of financing, and the starting costs as estimated internally by the Company’s management, the Company is of the view that the establishment of mineral reserves by way of a prefeasibility or feasibility study at this stage is not necessary and would be unduly costly, and that the most responsible utilization of the Company’s resources is to proceed with the development of the mines. Readers are cautioned that due to the lack of prefeasibility study or feasibility study, there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with the Company’s decision. In particular, there is additional risk that mineral grades may be lower than expected, and the risk that construction or continuing mining operations may be more difficult or more expensive than management expected. Production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. Failure at the Washington or Buckeye Mine may materially adversely impact the Company’s overall ability to continue as a going concern.
This news release contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements as they relate to SBMI and its subsidiaries. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but represent management’s current expectation of future events, and can be identified by words such as “believe”, “expects”, “will”, “intends”, “plans”, “projects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “continues” and similar expressions. Although management believes that the expectations represented in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will prove to be correct.
By their nature, forward-looking statements include assumptions, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. If and when forward-looking statements are set out in this new release, SBMI will also set out the material risk factors or assumptions used to develop the forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, SBMI assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to: the impact of SARS CoV-2 or any other epidemic or pandemic; reliance on key personnel; the thoroughness of its QA/QA procedures; the continuity of the global supply chain for materials for SBMI to use in the production and processing of mineralized material; shareholder and regulatory approvals; licencing and permitting; activities and attitudes of communities local to the location of the SBMI’s properties; risks of future legal proceedings; income tax matters; fires, floods and other natural phenomena; the rate of inflation; availability and terms of financing; distribution of securities; commodities pricing; currency movements, especially as between the USD and CDN; effect of market interest rates on price of securities; and, potential dilution. SARS CoV-2 and other potential global viruses create risks that at this time are immeasurable and impossible to define.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF) (FSE:4XO) (“Rover” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its Let’s Go Lithium (“LGL”) project. The Company has prepared a jurisdictional map of the prolific southwest Nevada lithium jurisdiction. LGL is located within jurisdiction, in the Amargosa Valley of Nevada.
Let’s Go Lithium Location and Regional Geology LGL is located just seven and half miles (12 km) away from the historic Franklin Wells hectorite (a rare lithium smectite mineral) deposit. Mining at Franklin Wells dates back to the 1920’s. The regional geology of the Amargosa Valley is a basin-and-range structure with the Greenwater Range and Funeral Mountains to the west and the Amargosa Desert to the east. The Greenwater/Funeral mountains are fault-controlled with narrow interior valleys and are bounded by broad, coalescing alluvial fans. The Greenwater/Funeral mountains are composed of lower Paleozoic marine and metamorphic rocks. LGL is located in a large basin of clay rich Tertiary lakebed sediments, the major host rock for the other lithium claystone deposits in the southwest Nevada lithium jurisdiction. Historic water well drill logs spread across the roughly 6,000 acres of the LGL claim package suggest an average thickness of the clay beds of approximately 350 feet (~100 meters).

New assay results from detailed soil geochemistry sampling have outlined a high-grade porphyry anomaly averaging greater than 500 parts per million (“ppm”) copper and 30 ppm molybdenum with highest values up to 1,125 ppm copper and 163 ppm molybdenum.
Located only approximately 150 metres south of the southernmost modelled boundary of the Main Breccia discovery at Apollo, this new high-grade anomaly covers an area measuring 250 metres by 150 metres and remains completely open for expansion to the west, east and south.
Follow-up reconnaissance geological work at surface has identified a potassic altered porphyry diorite hosting quartz, molybdenum, and chalcopyrite veins. Surface rock chip sampling from limited weathered (leached) outcrop has returned grades of up to 0.28% copper and 0.13% molybdenum.
The soil anomaly compares favorably in grade and is slightly larger than the soil anomaly covering the southern portion of the Main Breccia discovery at Apollo where recent assay results from drilling have intercepted the highest copper grades to date including drill hole APC-18 which averaged 168.6 metres at 0.98 g/t gold, 69 g/t silver and 0.5% copper.
Immediate plans are underway to test the porphyry target with the first drill hole expected to begin in early Q1, 2023.
Three rigs continue to drill the Main Breccia at Apollo with holes APC-22 through APC-27 awaiting assay results and holes APC-28 through APC-30 nearing completion ahead of a short break for the seasonal holiday.
Toronto, Ontario, December 14, 2022 – Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) (OTCQX: CNLMF) (“Collective” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from soil and rock chip sampling undertaken south of the Main Breccia discovery at the Apollo target (“Apollo”) within the Company’s Guayabales project located in Caldas, Colombia. As part of its fully funded 23,000 metre drill program for 2022, there are currently three diamond drill rigs operating at the Apollo target. The Main Breccia discovery at Apollo is a high-grade, bulk tonnage copper-gold-silver porphyry-related breccia system with previously announced assay results including:

Executive Chairman, Ari Sussman stated: “The discovery of a high-grade copper and molybdenum soil anomaly associated with a mineralized porphyry body just south of our Main Breccia discovery at Apollo is exciting. As drilling continues to expand the Main Breccia discovery at Apollo, our early-stage exploration team has been focused on prospecting the rest of the Apollo target area to determine if a possible source exists for the copper mineralization found within the breccia discovery. Given the proximity to our Main Breccia discovery, this new high-grade porphyry target suggests we may have found the source. We are eager to test the new target and plan to initiate drilling in January as part of our upcoming 2023 drilling program. We are looking forward to an exciting 2023 as we continue to drive shareholder value through aggressive expansion drilling of the Main Breccia discovery while testing new targets.”
Details (See Figures 1–3)
The Company’s exploration teams have recently undertaken outcrop mapping and soil sampling within the Apollo area with the objective of outlining new targets for drilling. This work has outlined a coherent and well-defined soil anomaly for copper and molybdenum covering dimensions of 250 metres east-west by 150 metres north-south. The anomaly is defined by over 70 soil samples with copper values ranging from 310-1,125pmm and Molybdenum values up to 163ppm. Gold in soil within the anomaly has also returned numerous samples (n=12) ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 g/t. The soil anomaly locates only 150 metres south of the southernmost outcropping portion of the northerly dipping Main Breccia discovery at Apollo as defined by drilling and surface outcrop sampling. The southern copper and molybdenum anomaly is still open at surface to the west, east and to the south.
Reconnaissance geological mapping and rock chip sampling within the anomalous soil area has identified porphyry diorites with secondary biotite alteration hosting porphyry “B” veins with center and border lines of chalcopyrite and molybdenum. Disseminated chalcopyrite was also observed within the limited outcrop exposures with rock chip sampling reporting grades up to 0.28% of copper, 0.13% of molybdenum and 0.8 g/t gold.
The Company is currently organizing and constructing a new drill pad to test the target with diamond drilling in January 2023.
The larger Apollo target area, which includes the Main Breccia discovery and other breccia and porphyry targets, is defined to date by surface mapping, rock sampling and copper and molybdenum soil geochemistry and covers a 1,000 metres X 1,200 metres area. The Apollo target area hosts the Company’s new Main Breccia discovery plus multiple CBM vein systems located within and above and below the mineralized angular breccia. Additional untested breccia discoveries locate to the NE and SE of the main breccia discovery. The newly defined porphyry target, as outlined in this press release, is located 150 metres due south of the southernmost end the Main Breccia discovery and is flanked to the southeast by outcrops hosting a high density of porphyry quartz veins associated with early biotite veins in diorite porphyry. The larger Apollo target area also remains open for further expansion.

A strategic joint venture suggests continued success
Rising interest in diamonds- A hard asset
Dubai is a buyer of the unpolished stones
Diamcor Mining (DMIFF) and undervalued OTC stock
A diamond is a solid form of the element carbon, with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called a diamond cube. Most natural diamonds form over one billion years in the earth’s mantle, between 93 and 155 miles below the surface, and pressure transforms the carbon into stones.
An unpolished diamond is in the stone’s natural state while polishing processes the stone into the jewels that are a “girl’s best friend.” De Beer’s iconic slogan, “A diamond is forever,” dates to 1947 and has become a symbol of love as engagement, wedding, and anniversary jewelry contains the stones. Aside from its use in jewelry, diamonds are critical for industrial cutting and polishing tools. In today’s markets, the case for investing in diamonds has become compelling.
Diamcor Mining Inc (DMIFF) is a Canadian producer with significant ties with the international diamond industry. The company recently reported a profitable quarter, which could lead to a higher stock price over the coming months and years.
A profitable quarter and more on the horizon
Diamcor Mining, Inc. reported third-quarter results showing growth and profits in late October. Operating results improved quarter-over-quarter with the sale of 3,776.33 carats of rough diamonds, up from 3,061.70 in Q2 2022. Third quarter revenue of around $2.1 million was higher than the $557.6 thousand in Q2.
Meanwhile, the company sales averaged $556.08 per carat in Q3 compared with $182.11 in Q2. The jump in the per-carat price came from selling a 59.35-carat gem quality unique rough diamond to a Middle Eastern investor.
Diamcor’s CEO, Dean Taylor, said, “We are very pleased with the continued quarterly growth achieved again for the period ending September 30, 2022, and remain optimistic given the recent announcement of the delivery of 5,833 carats for the first tender and sale of this quarter (Q4 2022).” The Q4 sale is already 54.5% above the carats sold in Q3 and could result in another profitable quarter when Diamcor reports results in early 2023.
A strategic alliance suggests continued success
Anyone with even slight knowledge of the worldwide diamond business knows two names, Tiffany and De Beers. Tiffany is synonymous with diamonds, and De Beers is the South African mining and marketing giant.
Diamcor has established a long-term strategic alliance and the first right of refusal with Tiffany & Co. Canada, a subsidiary of the parent Tiffany & Co. headquartered in New York. The agreement is for Tiffany to purchase up to 100% of the future production of rough diamonds from the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project at the current prices determined by the parties on an ongoing basis. Tiffany provided Diamcor with financing to advance the project. Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) is a publicly traded company listed on the Paris Stock Exchange (Euronext) which owns Tiffany & Co.
Meanwhile, the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project comprises approximately 5,888 hectares directly adjacent to De Beer’s flagship Venetia Diamond Mine in South Africa. In February 2011, Diamcor acquired the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project from De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited. In September 2014, the South African Department of Mineral Resources granted a Mining Right for the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project for 657.71 hectares of the Projects total area of 5,888 hectares. Diamcor has applied for additional mining rights for the remaining hectares.
Tiffany is a high-end retail leader in diamonds, and De Beers is a wholesale giant. Diamcor has established a joint venture with the retail leader and is a neighbor of a producing leader.
Rising interest in diamonds- A hard asset
Bain & Company is a US management consulting company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The company provides advice to public, private, and non-profit organizations. In Bain’s report on The Global Diamond Industry 2021-2022, the consulting company said, “A brilliant recovery shapes up.” Some of the report’s highlights include:
Revenues recovered across the diamond supply chain in 2021, exceeding pre-pandemic levels.
Profit margins in every segment recovered, including in mining and retail sales.
Rough diamond sales rebounded by over 60% in 2021, surpassing pre-pandemic levels.
Rough and polished diamond prices reached the historical average in 2021 but lagged industry peaks.
Prices for higher-quality polished diamonds outperformed lower-quality diamonds.
In 2020, rough diamond production declined, falling to 111 million carats. In 2021, output grew to 116 million carats, still 20% below the level in 2019.
Rough diamond sales grew by 62% in 2021. Strong demand from cutters and polishers caused miners to increase production volumes and release diamonds from inventories.
While diamond prices have come down since April 2022, they have remained at the highest since April 2012.
The index does not differentiate between the qualities of diamonds, but it presents an overall picture of price trends in the sector.
The following factors have increased interest in diamonds as an investment or keepsake over the past months:
The leading stock market indices have declined in 2022, leading investors to seek other asset sectors.
Inflation has been at its highest level since the early 1980s. Diamonds are a hard asset with a long history as a store of value.
While the US dollar has appreciated against other world currencies, faith in fiat foreign exchange instruments has declined.
Russia is, by far, the world’s leading producer of diamonds. The war in Ukraine, sanctions on Russia and Moscow’s retaliation against “unfriendly” countries supporting Ukraine have increased supply concerns, improving the outlook for diamond prices.
Companies like the Diamond Standard Fund are tokenizing, managing, storing, securing diamonds for investors, and have IRA-eligible investment programs.
Markets across all asset classes reflect the geopolitical and economic landscapes. In late 2022, the events and trends continue to favor higher diamond prices, even though they are sitting at the highest price level in a decade.
The Middle East is a buyer of the unpolished stones
In 2021, the countries that imported the most diamonds were:
These fifteen countries imported 96.5% of all diamonds in 2021. The United Arab Emirates was the fifth leading diamond-importing country, and the UAE imported more diamonds than the world’s second-leading economy, China. Diamcor’s recent sale of a 59.35-carat unpolished diamond was to a buyer in Dubai.
The rise in crude oil prices has filled the coffers of Middle Eastern producers with cash. With crude oil prices at the highest level in years, revenues continue to flow to the oil-rich area, providing the funds for diamond and other hard asset purchases.
Diamcor Mining (DMIFF), an undervalued OTC stock
At 15.24 cents per share on November 18, Diamcor Mining shares on the over-the-counter market reflect a $17.711 market cap. An average of 86,040 shares trades daily.
Source: Barchart
The chart highlights DMIFF shares reached a low of 4.60 cents in December 2020 and a high of 43.0 cents in October 2021. In 2022, the shares traded between 10.76 and 29.81 cents. At 15.24 cents, DMIFF shares were below the midpoint of this year’s trading range on November 18.
While DMIFF is a penny stock with associated risks, the following factors favor a rise in the share price over the coming months:
Diamcor is profitable and its production, and revenues are growing.
The interest in the diamond market is robust as investors look for hard assets to combat the highest inflationary pressures in decades.
The war in Ukraine continues to cause supply concerns for the international diamond market.
The strategic alliance with Tiffany & Co. and mining assets next to De Beers increase Diamcor’s odds of future success.
Mining companies have not had a positive beta with the overall stock market. Oil, metals, and other mining companies have outperformed the stock market in 2022, a trend that will likely continue.
At 15.24 cents per share, DMIFF could be a diamond in the rough as the company’s recent Q2 report justifies a higher share price.

KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 8, 2022 / Diamcor Mining Inc. (TSXV:DMI)(OTCQB:DMIFF)(FRA:DC3A), (“Diamcor” or, the “Company”) announces today the results of its second and final tender and sale of rough diamonds recovered from the processing of quarry material from the Company’s Krone-Endora at Venetia Project (the “Project”) for the current quarter ended December 31, 2022. In the second and final tender and sale of its third fiscal quarter, the Company sold an additional 2,808.84 carats of rough diamonds generating gross revenues of USD $629,283.94, resulting in an average price of USD $224.04 per carat. This brings the total carats sold in the current quarter to 8,327.58, generating gross revenues of USD $2,054,248.33, resulting in an average price of USD $246.68 for the period. This represents a 121% increase compared to the total carats sold during the previous quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Highlights
Specials Category Diamonds. The results of the total tender and sale of rough diamonds for the current quarter included several larger gem quality rough diamonds in the Specials (+10.8 carats) category, with the largest individual diamond being 43.55 carats in size. The Company continues to recover these larger gem quality diamonds which is further confirmation of the potential for these types of rough diamonds to be recovered from the Project’s deposits.
Strong Initial Tender and Sale. The Company previously announced that in its initial tender and sale of rough diamonds for the current quarter ended December 31, 2022, a total of 5,518.74 carats were sold, generating gross revenues of USD $1,472,471.03, representing an average price of USD $266.81 per carat.
Strong Average Dollar Per Carat Continues. In the Company’s second and final tender and sale for the current quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold an additional 2,808.84 carats, generating gross revenues of USD $629,283.94, representing an average price of USD $224.04 per carat.
Total Carats Sold Quarter over Quarter Increased by 121%. The combined total carats tendered and sold in the current quarter ending December 31, 2022, increased by 121% when compared to the 3,776.33 carats tendered and sold in the previous period ended September 30, 2022.
Balance of Rough Diamonds Recovered in Period. The Company has recovered and delivered approximately 1,025.35 carats of additional rough diamonds which were not tendered and sold in the two sales completed in the current quarter. These rough diamonds, along with additional rough diamonds recovered prior to December 31, 2022, will be recorded as stock on hand at the end of the current period, and are expected to be tendered in the Company’s next quarter.
Strong Revenues Continued in Current Quarter. The gross revenues from the two tenders and sales completed in the current quarter ending December 31, 2022, remained relatively consistent at USD $2,054,248.33 when compared with the previous period’s USD $2,099,951.32. The gross revenues generated in the current quarter were the result of the noted increase in total carats sold, as compared to the previous quarter where the Company sold fewer carats and the gross revenue was positively affected by the sale of a 59.35 carat gem quality special rough diamond.
“We are very pleased with the continued progress being made and our ability to achieve a 121% increase in the total carats sold quarter over quarter”, stated Mr. Dean Taylor, Diamcor CEO. “This increase in total carats tendered and sold during this quarter demonstrates the Company’s ability to generate significant revenues without the added benefit of any significant larger high-value rough diamonds, and the positive impact that achieving both of these scenarios could have for our Company moving forward. Our efforts remain focused on continuing to increase processing volumes and the recovery of larger high-valued rough diamonds moving forward.”

About Krone-Endora at Venetia
In February 2011, Diamcor acquired the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project from De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited, consisting of the prospecting rights over the farms Krone 104 and Endora 66, which represent a combined surface area of approximately 5,888 hectares directly adjacent to De Beers’ flagship Venetia Diamond Mine in South Africa. On September 11, 2014, the Company announced that the South African Department of Mineral Resources had granted a Mining Right for the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project encompassing 657.71 hectares of the Project’s total area of 5,888 hectares. The Company has also submitted an application for a mining right over the remaining areas of the Project. The deposits which occur on the properties of Krone and Endora have been identified as a higher-grade “Alluvial” basal deposit which is covered by a lower-grade upper “Eluvial” deposit. The deposits are proposed to be the result of the direct-shift (in respect to the “Eluvial” deposit) and erosion (in respect to the “Alluvial” deposit) ofmaterial from the higher grounds of the adjacent Venetia Kimberlite areas. The deposits on Krone-Endora occur in two layers with a maximum total depth of approximately 15.0 metres from surface to bedrock, allowing for very low-cost mining to be employed with the potential for near-term diamond production from a known high-quality source. Krone-Endora also benefits from the significant development of infrastructure and services already in place due to its location directly adjacent to the Venetia Mine.
