Analyst Video - Globex Mining Builds Royalties Across 270 Assets

Globex Mining Enterprises (TSX: GMX) President David Christie spoke with Chris Thompson of eResearch in a video interview covering how the company's project generator and royalty business model builds and monetizes a portfolio of more than 270 mineral assets across North America. With roughly $40 million in cash and securities and zero debt, Globex acquires properties, adds value through exploration and geophysics, and options them to partners for cash, shares, and retained royalties, without raising capital from markets. For some projects, the company does more development work before finding a partner, but a royalty is always the goal. On the Globex side, key 2026 catalysts include drill programs at Cadillac Wood and Rouyn-Merger in Quebec. On the partner side, watch for a maiden resource at Bald Hill Antimony in New Brunswick, a feasibility study at Mont Sorcier iron ore, and continued drilling at Devil's Pike (now called Golden Pike).

PDAC 2026 Article – BHP Advances AI Strategy Across the Mining Lifecycle

BHP’s artificial intelligence (AI) mining strategy centers on execution, not technology alone. At PDAC 2026, Mikko Tepponen outlined how data integration, AI, and system-level platforms are reshaping mining decisions from exploration to operations. As ore bodies become deeper and more complex, and demand for critical minerals rises, BHP is prioritizing faster decision cycles, improved capital allocation, and operational stability. Key initiatives include centralized exploration data platforms, computer vision in iron ore operations, and digital twins at Escondida. The company reports over US$2 billion in value from digital initiatives, but emphasizes that scalable execution and integrated systems will define long-term competitive advantage. [more]

PDAC 2026 Article - Rick Rule Sees Double Bull Market Ahead

At the PDAC 2026 Investment Leaders Forum, Rick Rule argued investors may be entering a rare period when precious metals and industrial commodities advance together. He tied the setup to governments devaluing currencies and decades of underinvestment in mining exploration and broader industrial supply. Rule said the US dollar could lose up to 75% of its purchasing power over the next decade, a backdrop that could lift the nominal price of gold and reprice hard assets. His framework is to build a conservative base first, then add selective higher-risk positions where the market shows hate or boredom. [more]

Demand seen up 5–6x from AI + electrification. Vale’s plan uses existing assets + automation. Key edge is high-grade ore + scale.

Catalyst is execution + social license to close the valuation gap.

PDAC 2026 - Gustavo Pimenta Outlines Vale’s “Mining of the Future”

At PDAC 2026, Vale S.A. CEO Gustavo Pimenta outlined a five-pillar strategy at Vale that he believes can help reshape mining’s role in the global markets. He said mineral demand could rise five to six times, driven by electrification, AI infrastructure, and global development. However, mining company valuations remain low due to weak public perception. Vale plans to meet this demand by focusing on iron ore, copper, and nickel, leveraging existing infrastructure, automation, and lower-carbon products. Pimenta emphasized that execution and social license, not just production growth, will determine whether mining companies can close the valuation gap. [more]
