Gold has been valued for thousands of years, not only as a store of #wealth, but as a symbol of excellence.
🏆 We call the best benchmark the "gold standard," describe exceptional people as "worth their weight in gold," and celebrate "golden opportunities" and a "golden age."
✨ It's remarkable how one metal has become synonymous with quality, trust, and enduring value across both history and everyday language.

Lassonde Curve 2.0 - Case Studies
This show begins with a discussion of the difference between the Lassonde Curve 2.0 Classic Version and Bull Market Version. Then I clasify a group of companies as case studies.
https://t.co/3qfym1bDBy
This content is brought to you by Pirate Gold, our Gold Sponsor, drilling for high-grade gold and copper in Newfoundland. It is also brought to you by my other co-branding sponsor Vizsla Silver, which is advancing Mexico’s Next Tier-One Silver Mine.
I also have paid sponsorships (Amex Exploration and Generation Mining) that they all help me produce content, as do my individual sponsor. All opinions and comments I make are my own and based on publicly available information.
Big thank you to my individual sponsors that show their support through Substack subscriptions. All of my corporate and individual sponsors help me bring content in my various reports to viewers and readers. I really appreciate it — I couldn’t do what I do without support from sponsors, viewers and readers.
Show Overview
I always stress the viewers and readers of my reports to do their homework and they should also understand where companies plot on the Lassonde Curve.
So I created two versions of the Lassonde Curve that help me describe how I use the Lassonde Curve. And I also created a bull market version of the Lassonde Curve. To show you how I use the Lassonde Curve, I have some case studies in this show as well.
Pierre Lassonde is one of my heroes in the mining sector, his Lassonde Curve has helped me throughout my career in the mining sector. My additions to his Lassonde Curve are a tool for those that pay attention to my work and my homage to Pierre Lassonde.
I had to make some changes to my Radar Screens, Orla Mining and Equinox Gold have merged so Orla Mining is off and Equinox Gold stays on. I have also added First Majestic to my major miners Radar Screen.
All the best,
Allan Barry Laboucan
P.S. below the video you will find the companies I follow closely and have in various categories. I have come to learn that some think of this as some sort of buy list. Which is not true, I always say it is important for investors to do their homework and that I am an idea generator that tries to find good companies for you to do your homework on. So for added clarity I have changed the name of the lists to Radar Screens to I hope more clearly represents what the list is. Which is a menu of companies in various categories to do your HOMEWORK on!

Golden Triangle B.C. Drill Campaign: The Golden Gate Zone Expansion at Surebet 🗺️
Multiple 2026 step-out drill holes have expanded the Golden Gate Zone 400 m to the south and 200 m to the north, increasing its strike to approximately 1.6 km east-west by 1.5 km north-south. The zone remains open for expansion, with assays pending.
🙌 The map below highlights the expanded footprint and where drilling continues to test the system.
🔹 Golden Gate Zone expanded 600 m (400 m south, 200 m north)
🔹 Zone now spans ~1.6 km E–W × 1.5 km N–S
🔹 All 10 drill holes completed in the 2026 campaign intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization
🔹 Assays are still pending for all completed 2026 drill holes

Preparation is a key part of every successful drill program. ⛏️📦
At our Surebet Discovery, our field team works together to efficiently prepare each core box for transport from the drill site.
🙌 After multiple successful field seasons, the process has become a well-coordinated routine—helping keep drilling, geology, and logistics moving safely and efficiently.
🚁 Once ready, the core is picked up by helicopter and transported to the core shack for logging and sampling.
Assays are pending on all drill core shown in this video.

"Goliath continues to be one of our Top 10 holdings across our private funds.
We have been a long-term supporter and continue to be impressed by the potential for this discovery to expand by drilling this wide-open, high-grade gold system.
The abundance of visible gold in the first 10 holes this season is exciting. While the results are primarily visuals so far, who doesn’t like VG!
Can’t wait to see the assays and steady stream of news to come as this large drill campaign continues, and this is just the beginning.
A fully funded 50,000+ meter planned program with 7 drill rigs…that’s the way it is done. Way to go, Roger and team!"

Is Gold Already Undergoing a Global Monetary Reset?
In a fascinating interview with Kitco News, Willem Middelkoop argues that the global monetary system may already be experiencing a gradual reset.
🏦 He points to continued central bank gold buying, changing reserve strategies, and growing demand from Asia as signs that gold is quietly regaining a larger monetary role.
🟡 Whether you agree with every prediction or not, the discussion offers an interesting perspective on where the global financial system—and #gold—could be heading.

How Big Is the Surebet Discovery? 📏
One image helps put it into perspective.
This cross-section of our Surebet discovery highlights a mineralized system with ~1.2 km of vertical extent, illustrated using Toronto 2 CN Towers for visual scale.
🔥 This model, from our May 27th news release, also highlights the valley floor, stacked gold-bearing layers, and the interpreted feeder source believed to have driven the mineralizing system. This discovery currently covers ~1.8 km² and remains open laterally and at depth.
The question isn't whether Surebet is large—it's how much larger it may become.

Top 20 Gold Assays Through June 30, 2025 📋
🌟 One of our best drill holes to date, GD-24-260, ranked 15 on The Northern Miner's Top 20 Gold Assays list, published in September 2025. Rankings were based on grade × width.
🟡 As reported on January 13, 2025, hole GD-24-260 from the Bonanza Zone returned 34.52 g/t AuEq over 39.0 metres, including:
• 132.93 g/t AuEq over 10.0 metres
• 166.04 g/t AuEq over 8.0 metres
This exceptional intercept delivered a 1,346 gram-metre result.
Why does making this list matter?
🙌 High-grade discoveries like these can often help drive industry attention, exploration spending, and mining M&A activity.
