Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review the value proposition that has his attention in the 3 pre-discovery gold and copper exploration companies, that have large Tier 1 drill targets and the potential for rapid upside moves if they make a compelling discovery and hit with the drill bit on current programs.
>> The companies we discussed in the interview are:
- Rackla Metals Inc. (TSX-V: RAK) (OTC: RMETF) – On July 14th, 2025 Rackla Metals announced that drilling and had commenced at the BiTe zone on the Grad property NWT. The Grad property was staked in July of 2024, and immediate prospecting defined strong gold mineralization at the base of the south facing cliff. Further sampling in August identified significant sheeted veining hosted in the intrusive and that combined with the gold, bismuth and tellurium geochemistry made it clear that the Company had discovered a compelling Reduced Intrusion-related Gold Systems (RIRGS) occurrence that had never previously been identified or staked.
- Inflection Resources Ltd. (CSE: AUCU) (OTCQB: AUCUF) – On July 21, 2025, Inflection Resources announced that it completed the acquisition of an 100% interest in a portfolio of copper-gold projects in the Northern Territory and New South Wales, Australia from subsidiaries of Newmont Corporation. This provides the company optionality on how to advance those properties. The main near-term value drivers will be when more assays get released from any of their four projects that JV option partner AngloGold Ashanti elected to advance to Phase II earn-in. The four Designated Projects are Duck Creek, Trangie, Crooked Creek and Nyngan.
- Westward Gold Inc. (CSE: WG) (OTCQB: WGLIF) – On July 8, 2025, Westward Gold announced that drilling is underway at its flagship Toiyabe Hills Property in Lander County, Nevada. Over the next several months, Westward will be testing its Campfire Target Complex for the first time, with approximately 5,000 metres (~16,500 feet) of reverse-circulation (“RC”) drilling across this top-priority zone within the ~61 square-kilometer consolidated Property.
