Sandy McVey of West Vault Mining Inc. talks to John Kaiser | Metals Investor Forum Sept. 2026
Key Highlights
detailed- The CEO's central argument in September 2026 is that not building is the strategy rather than a delay: “That you can actually make more money at lower risk. By not building.” On his account construction, not the asset, is the risk worth avoiding, and the expected way out is a takeover rather than a build.
- The project is described as permitted and ready to build, and he says the company could be “pouring gold, arguably, in about 15 to 18 months.” That is a projection conditional on a build nobody has approved, not a schedule — as of this September 2026 interview there is no construction decision and no date.
- The intended exit is to be bought rather than built: “the goal is to be bought out by a producer. Who pays the fair value based on the NPV?” He names the deterrent himself “there's a stigma attached to the project. In that it does not produce 100,000 ounces a year. It's 70,000 ounces.” and says the retail perception is that nobody will ever buy the project out.
- Every operating and cost number he gives comes from the 2023 preliminary feasibility study, and the video contains no resource estimate of any kind — no tonnage, grade, cut-off or measured, indicated or inferred figure appears anywhere in the recording. On the 2023 study: “Because the first pit has 80% recovery. A very low strip ratio, run of mine, no crushing. The only planned is five carbon columns.” Capital was “Probably the last capex number was $66 million. In 2023, inflate that, say it's 100 million.”
- He gives two shareholding figures that do not sit together and does not reconcile them — “We have maybe a 25% float, non-institutionally held. And we trade very thinly. People do not trade us.” against “We've got 72% institutionally held.” He attributes the resulting gap between price and value to thin trading and no news flow: “make a $1,000 purchase of our shares. And move our market cap by 5 to 10 million.”
West Vault's Hasbrouck gold project is permitted and build-ready, but the company is deliberately holding off on construction. Chairman Peter Palmeiro, who says he built a 47% stake near 70 cents Canadian, still controls whether to build or sell. The last capital figure cited is $66 million from the 2023 report, which the guest inflates to about $100 million today. Kaiser values the shares at $7 to $11; the guest blames thin trading, a small float and no news flow for the gap. The guest frames higher gold prices as real price gains, so project economics improve as fast as costs escalate.
Sandy McVey of West Vault Mining Inc. presents at Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver | Sep 2026
Key Highlights
detailed- The speaker helped acquire the Hasbro property in 2014 and argues the Nevada location has been vindicated, saying the region's geopolitical appeal has only become clearer in the 12 years since.
- The asset is described as two hills standing above the valley, mineralized from top to bottom on the cross-section, with a very simple mine plan: take rock from the top of the hill and move it to the bottom.
- The material sits above the water table and is oxide, with a very low strip ratio, reasonable grade, and about 70%-plus recovery from a heap leach operation.
- The free float is very small, which the speaker presents as a mark of support for, and belief in, the company's own thesis.
- He frames the project as deliberately unbuilt, with options to build it, sell it, or explore to make it bigger, and says a raise is planned shortly; as of the September 2026 presentation 72% was institutionally held and funding for a few more years was not in doubt.
The case rests on one Nevada oxide gold project already ready to build, not one waiting on exploration success. Oxide ore sits above the water table and heap leaches for 70%-plus recovery; a low strip ratio, waste rock per tonne of ore, simplifies mining. The guest frames patience as the strategy, building or selling only when timing serves shareholders under a chairman who holds no shares. A raise is planned shortly, and 72% institutional ownership should leave funding for the next few years unproblematic. Peer value is argued using outside research that plots projects at different development levels rather than company-published figures.
Don Durrett & John Feneck Interview Blackrock Silver ($BRC | $BKRRF) & Discuss Stock Insights
Key Highlights
detailed- Pollard says West Vault's Three Hills and Hasbroke projects are shovel-ready bulk-tonnage gold projects that directly abut Tonopah West, with Three Hills touching the southern boundary.
- Durrett pushes a shares-for-assets deal, arguing West Vault is essentially an investing company that wants returns, so taking shares in Blackrock — which he says carry massive leverage — would suit it, and the acquired project could reach production within 12 months.
- Durrett argues buying West Vault would materially shorten Blackrock's pathway to production, both hosts urge Pollard to make the call, and Pollard adds the Walker Lane is hot enough that district consolidation is realistic.
Blackrock Silver's updated PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment — an early mine study) extends mine life 42% to 11.2 years with $190 million capex. The Nevada project plans 7.1 million silver-equivalent ounces a year at AISC (All-In Sustaining Cost — what it really costs to produce an ounce) near $1,744. Sitting entirely on private land skips federal review; one of three key permits is secured, with groundbreaking targeted for the second half of 2027. Guest Don Durrett sizes potential free cash flow at $750 million to $1.2 billion on $200 silver and calls Blackrock a top takeover target. Hosts also highlight Honey Badger's $11 million purchase of the 400-million-ounce Prairie Creek project from Canadian Zinc, calling it an unusual bargain.
