We want to welcome you to the channel here, Drew Go ahead and introduce yourself and and give us kind of a brief overview on the exciting land acquisition packages that we've Just recently turned out here as we've entered into 2023 Yeah, thank you for that introduction ryan And it's a pleasure to be here to discuss our company and everything that we have going on with you so I'm looking forward to it looking forward to your questions and Hopefully being able to really share our story and convey what we've been up to and what we've Been building over the last two years With you and and with your audience. So I'm really looking forward to it So fantastic and and 2023 is has started with a bang here and and so let's just get right into it You guys have acquired a massive piece of property up in the Athabasca So I guess we can start there and and I think your your name change really speaks to what it is that you guys do You really are stallion discoveries And I think it speaks to your ability to build more of a diversified suite of portfolio But the Athabasca really speaks to your Interest in going after the uranium market. Can you speak a little bit about that acquisition? Maybe how it came to be and how you were even positioned to make that move the way that you did here so early in 2023 Yeah, I mean, that's a very big open-ended question. I could go on for some time But I mean just to back it up. I guess a little bit from the start I mean the inception of of stallion came about a little more than two years ago We've ended in our first project in in Idaho a gold project And the gold market really softened and the capital markets Really softened the liquidity wasn't all that prevalent for junior exploration companies over the last year and a half But we had a treasury that We'd built up when, you know, things first launched and things were good and and I really, you know Took care of that treasury. That was a big priority of mine was to manage that incredibly well We did everything we could to keep the burn as low as possible and that allowed us to really be dutiful in Looking at additional acquisitions rather than not being able to do anything at all So during the downturn when the gold market really wasn't that good We optioned a property in in Nevada off of emex royalties We did that on very good terms because it was a year ago when nobody was really all that excited about gold exploration That area wasn't all that exciting compared to To what it is now and we'll definitely get into that later And even with that we came into the beginning of this year with a very strong treasury that allowed us to Take the jump into these Athabasca basin properties. So They came about At the end of last year and by the time we got through negotiations We were able to close on those transactions at the beginning of this year But again being able to do that because we were very cognizant of running very lean and mean over the last two years when The market really wasn't ready to get excited about junior exploration names and and we think that's turning We think that's you know, really going to gain some more traction get a little bit more exciting as we go forward and And why we made the acquisition is not only were the properties themselves You know, just an incredible package that we were able to put together But we think both the uranium market and the gold market are ready to run now So, you know, there's going to be a little bit more energy in in both sectors that we're We're working on and again, I mean I I try and walk people through a little visualization because we've got over 300 square miles of property that we just acquired in the Athabasca basin So a little visual that I'll do for the listeners here to put that into perspective If you jump in your car and you're going down a straight highway as most of the marines Saskatchewan northern Saskatchewan You can see about three miles either side So six miles if you're looking at both windows and you're driving for 75 miles an hour You're driving for 40 minutes And all you see is our project That just gives you an idea of how big of a land package this is so It is huge. It is big and the potential of it is, you know, what just absolutely keeps us up at night foot excitement So, you know, we're very fortunate to have picked it up and and again, it's Given the fact that we gave ourselves the position to be here to be able to pick it up We were doing due diligence on a ton of different projects over the last year and a half And you know, we really did wait until the very best came about and and when they did we jumped at it quick And you know, as you can see the market's really appreciating that and we're ready to run this year And and again, we think both resources that were in gold and uranium ready to go and and couldn't be more excited I couldn't agree with you more on your radium and I think it's sustaining here with the push toward You know more of the of the green energy type of revolution that we're in right now It seems like this revolution is going to stick. So I think we do have some staying power Talk a little bit about the Athabasca basin specifically. I mean you you just bought this package in the most prolific region in the in the world And so I guess my thought when I was doing my research on stallion discoveries is did you see The opportunity in the region as a whole or did you look at the property specific and like what you saw there specifically with the property It was it was all of the above You know, we think the macro environment for macro or for uranium Sorry as you briefly touched on is is incredibly compelling You know, I think as a world that's trying to you know reduce our carbon footprint You know nuclear is a very logical way to go It's incredibly clean Efficient base load energy and again base load being very important You know the world used the most coal we've ever used just last year. So, you know getting up to this point You know, we we are bringing a lot of renewables But they tend to be very intermittent So we need to look at very practical solutions and I think nuclear is going to be a big part of that I think a big part of what also really made this work for us is the people that we have involved with our story So on the board of advisors and a very significant shareholder of stallion discoveries is a man named Stephen Stanley He was half or exploration The original half or exploration we also Funny enough, you know, that was the name of the company that we took over and it was much the same land package That half or exploration had a decade ago But half or exploration a decade ago was one of the darling stories of the canadian mining space It went from an exploration story To a discovery of the rough rider deposit and steven orchestrated a bidding war between Kamiko and Rio which was ultimately won by Rio for 650 million dollars They purchased half or so To have somebody on our board of advisors Other key shareholders of ours were also key players in putting the original half or deal together Large shareholders of next-gen, which is the current darling of the Athabasca basin I mean, they've just done incredible work in not only finding the aero deposit But bring that forward and they're going to be developing that into one of the Largest high-grade year-end deposit mines in the world So I mean not only is the Athabasca, you know, again 10 to 20 times the grades that you see anywhere else in the world So as we we want to use more uranium, you know We need to find high-grade deposits that are very economical And I think the Athabasca really is bar none the best place in the world to be doing that So again, it's it's a lot of things coming together that just made so much sense for stallion discoveries To step into this story to step into these land packages You know, it was it was the opportunity to be in the best jurisdiction for Uranium exploration It was projects that were neighboring some of the biggest mines And current discovery projects in the basin And it was having the right people that have a ton of experience and have done You know exactly what we're trying to do in the basin and that is make a massive discovery, you know, we're not Building this company to look for small economic projects side We're looking for those big Projects that will really move the needle and and that's you know How we've gone into thinking about everything that we do and every project that we've taken on and brought into this company over the last Two years has been with that singular focus of What gives us the very best odds and the highest likelihood of finding a massive discovery? And that's what we're doing Short and simple. Yeah, and as we enter into 2023 into the spring and summer you have strategic projects To get you the answers that you're going to need to know to kind of try to localize those priorities We'll talk about that a second, but just for the viewing audience Please let's jump to the domestic here in Idaho and Nevada And speak about your exciting projects that you have here in our backyard here in the u.s For our our u.s patrons because you've got a pretty diversified Portfolio of of land assets. So can you speak a little bit on that and just kind of introduce the group to those Those projects in Nevada and Idaho respectively Absolutely. Absolutely. So I'll start with Idaho. That was our first acquisition in stallion It's an incredibly large package in the center of Idaho at 699 mining claims over 5800 hectares So again very large very under explored So a lot of opportunity to bring the value into this project But the other key aspect of this is our entire eastern border Is shared with perpetual resources Perpetual resources is is in the process right now Permitting to build their mine and mill. So this was an old wartime mine site. It was mine for antimony tungsten and gold Producing most of the u.s. Is antimony through the war effort that was world war two and the korean war as well So very significant in the fact that right now the u.s. Has no antimony production domestically It relies on antimony from all other sources And it's a it's a big factor in ammunition So the department of defense is really looking for places that they can find antimony domestically And the stibnite project right next door to us is one of those key places So our project also had a smaller amount of antimony production on it During that same same time period our secondary target on the project is called antimony ridge Our key focus though is going to be an area called the golden gate fault zone We've got some historical drilling there that was done in the late 80s That shows us there was You know oxide gold There a gram and a half over 35 meters which for for oxide gold is very good numbers And we did some soil samples and geophysicals over the last two years That gave us, you know, even more confidence that we've got a 2.8 kilometer strike length Fault zone there that has enormous gold And we're in the process right now of getting drill permits to get out on that project and And drill it to both reaffirm those historic holes And in in the discussions that we've had with our own geologists as well as some of the geologists at stibnite Just in general discussions of what they're seeing in their, you know, geological formations and where the mineralization is It tends to be a little deeper So we definitely want to go deeper than those historical drill holes are to try and find some higher grade gold and More bulk tonnage of gold as well So we are very confident and very excited That those drill results are are going to be a pretty exciting news flow for our company Again, we're expecting it to get that permit in the next few months We intend to be able to get out there and drill that later this year So again, very exciting Any exploration company, you know can change on a drill hole You know, I want the investors to know that that's something that we work towards it It really is You know a single assay can can create a tremendous amount of value in an exploration company. So We're really looking forward to that And our project in Nevada has just continued to to build excitement You know, not just because of what we have planned for it But because it is right next to i80 gold. So I mean there's You just take a look at their ticker symbol i a u It's incredible what they've done You know, they've gone from a 400 million market cap to a 900 million market cap in the last couple of months And that is predominantly on the back of the drilling that they've been doing at their ruby hill project Which we're right next to in eureka, nevada That whole deposit that they've been drilling out is is not only seven and a half million ounces of gold in the ground But now they're finding a carbon replacement Deposit as well, which is full of zinc and lead and silver as well as some high-grade gold. So The whole jurisdiction is is just getting a lot more attention A property or a company just to the south of them pay core Just announced a 16 million dollar financing at the end of last week So again, they're a 50 million market cap company. We're right next door. They're just to the south We think the whole area is getting a lot more eyeballs a lot more excitement We think it's going to be one of the key areas in nevada That people are paying attention to for gold exploration and again This is in the state that is producing about 80 of the us's gold as we speak right now So to say that you're going to be one of the hottest areas Of the predominant state for gold in the united states is is a pretty Compelling place to be and you know, we're very happy to have picked up this project And again Picked it up before this area started getting this kind of attention and picked it up when gold prices were a lot lower And the interest wasn't there So we picked it up at a very good deal And we're happy to be partnered with emx on that and it is an option to own 100 of it And we'll continue to drive the value with our initial work programs that we have set there It's that's super intriguing. Um, you know, I and I wish you guys all the best here in 2023 You know, I was intrigued as well But you know as a I'm not in the mining space right and the way that you explain what it is that you're doing is very helpful for our investors It's been helpful for me When I looked at it it sounds like to me you guys kind of got in on the radar I kind of want to talk a little bit was their competition for these properties Or are you guys in an elite class here? That had the knowledge to go after this was there a lot of people that you know, we're in Competition because I looked at that at the baska. I looked at your neighboring properties and I thought How did they pull this off and you pulled it off in a relatively short amount of time? And I think you guys need to be absolutely commended But can you speak a little bit about kind of the the competition a little bit? I mean Nevada wasn't just recently discovered drew, you know, it's been pretty prolific for a while It's been a gold mining friendly jurisdiction for quite a while But I looked at it and I thought how did they do this? Can you speak a little bit about that? No, absolutely. I mean it does come back to The four key pillars that we you know have based this company on which is starts with jurisdiction Next is the projects again large underexplored projects next to world-class deposits or discoveries And then the people that we have and the share structure that we have as well We can get into that later But what gave us The ability to do that was knowing that was what we wanted to do. So when the market was slow We still had that game plan in mind that we wanted to be looking for Acquisitions that were going to be incredible targets in the right area in the right jurisdiction next to Incredibly successful discoveries and or deposits. So that's how we we went about searching and you know Not to no point intended, but we turned over a lot of rocks And looking for these projects and you know, you only know you have a good project when you look through a lot of other projects And and that's when you know and you have the confidence to really go after The ones that are the good ones. So when Nevada came up again It really wasn't that much of a fight to get after Nevada and that's how we were able to Negotiate good terms on it When the gold the interesting gold just wasn't there So that was a good timing on our part and again It was you know going after something when when nobody else was paying attention I can't say the same for the Athabasca, you know, this uranium market didn't just appear after our news releases The radium market was hot before and this is a very compelling package So again the cash position that we had to be able to come out and offer mostly all cash For these acquisitions and again, it wasn't a significant sum But it was at a time when a lot of companies didn't have a significant amount of cash laying around to be able to make acquisitions So that helped us and again, you know It takes a village to be able to run these sort of companies and and make these sort of deals And that's where I lean on some of our key stakeholders And helping us, you know close these out and and again guys that have been in the basin for a long time had You know tremendous success in the basin That sort of track record allows you to You know pull some of the intangible Factors that go into these deals to your side away from some potential other groups So we lean on the leverage and experience of everybody that we have and involved in the stallion discoveries projects and you know, I like I say, I Commend everybody that is part of this team because it is not just me it really does take a village and And again, it it shows that you're able to get Significant things done when you operate that way and and that is how we got the out of as a basin projects and and as you say I mean a tremendous land package and Strategically located throughout. I mean prolific in the in the west, but strategic packages in the east as well so It was a bit of a battle and it made for a longer holiday period. Obviously that was when we were Negotiating those deals to be able to come out through the at the beginning of this new year, but Very excited to have got it done and I think you know, it's just going to lead into a tremendous amount of work But also a tremendous amount of excitement as we go into 2023 Yeah, I think you guys have got it earmarked through 2023 your plan for the geophysics in the Athabasca and the continued drill right here in the u.s. What type of capital expenditure is going to be needed and how are you balancing against your current financial posture now? And I guess the lead-in to that is you can go ahead and talk about the capital position of the company the share structure But I was more interested in You've got these massive swaths of land. How is it that you take this? You know the bite out of the elephant or or move mountains in this and strategically allocate capital to be Conservative but also get you the answers that you need. Can you speak on that drew? Yeah, absolutely. I mean as we we discussed off the top with 300 square miles It's an incredible amount of land and a lot of the time these high-grade uranium deposits have a fairly small footprint So, you know, you are looking for a very small target over an incredible amount of land so How we look to kick that off is we'll be engaging with Some geophysics companies that will be able to fly airborne geophysics So that's either from a helicopter or a plane and that's just how you're able to cover You know every inch of a land package that's that large So that's really going to give us the next indication and we'll be relying on that data as it comes in You know, we'll be looking for conductors. They tend to be the roadmap especially initially In that area that you're able to follow up on and do some more zoomed in work So again doing very high-level broad work That's able to give you those those narrower targets that you want to continue to follow up on And that eventually gets you down to hey this this area right here is is where we want to put the drill To, you know, ultimately test what we're we're theorizing is there, but You start very broad and you just continue to narrow in And and again doing it from the air is the only way really to cover that kind of ground, you know Efficiently and and effectively. So that's what we'll be doing there You know, I did talk about coming into this year with a good cash position even after the acquisitions You know, we have a cash balance that allows us to kick off these exploration efforts And and then yeah moving forward, you know, we will look to do a financing I think you know the exploration on the projects that we have dictates a pretty strong exploration effort not only do the projects themselves Merit that but the markets are telling us right now that now is when you want to be doing that exploration effort The markets, you know are looking for both of the sectors that we're in the resources that we're looking for So we think it really dictates going after them and going after them You know fairly aggressively to to see what we can find and And again, ultimately it it comes to finding something, but we think we've given ourselves the opportunity To find everything and on every single project that we have so With that in mind, you know, we we continue to march things forward and And for our shareholders, we want to create a lot of value and and that's where I would touch on You know over the last two and a half years, you know We've done a lot and our share count is at 63 million shares. So, you know trading at 32 33 cents Again, canadian on the tsxv. I'm talking about you quote a little differently in the us But we're about a 20 million market cap just over 20 million market cap company So we still have a ton of value that we think we can create for our shareholders and again being very cognizant of where we raise capital You know dilution is necessary for an exploration company. That's how we fund the work that we get to do But the roi of those dollars that we bring in when we spend them efficiently and effectively and get them into the ground and And hopefully again get them into finding a discovery In the incredible, you know the the run-ups that you can see so I mean the at the basket basin just just recently We're right next to and share a border with vision 3.0 You know, they were a discovery company just like us And they hit on their discovery hole and they went from 25 million to 150 million market cap in the matter of a month So, you know, that is the kind of moves that we're looking for we're doing everything that we can to make those types of discoveries You know the the growth of i80 gold next to us in nevada You know, that's a big company, but again They're proving a ton of value with their discovery and the drilling that they're doing And we're coming from a much lower base and a much lower share account So we think that, you know, we're not going to be discovering quite on the size that i80 is obviously they've got Six drill rigs going down there now, but yeah, you know, if we can find Mineralization that they're finding We think that you know, there's a tremendous amount of value that can be created for our shareholders And you know the nearest drill hole that we will likely be drilling is in idaho and again significant deposit next to us there high confirmation, you know internally and that we have, you know A significant amount of gold there and it's just going out there and being able to prove that to the market and and again create Value and excitement for our shareholders as we make, you know discoveries again We named it stallion discoveries because we think we have that potential and and we're very excited about it We're going to be monitoring your story close and like I said, I would invite Each and every one of you to visit the website stalliondiscoveries.com. There's fantastic information well laid out Certainly, thank you drew really appreciate the time as we kind of segue away from the interview here I'd like to give you the opportunity to give some kudos to the team. I always liked it. It's not just about you You're the top guy, but certainly can't do it without the the compliments of your team, right? So I'd like you to just kind of summarize what you've got going on there with your with your team at stallion discoveries for the for the grander share owners in the company and anybody that's interested and in the story Absolutely So again the president and VP of exploration here at stallion discoveries bill breane He lives down in in hope Idaho. He's he's actually the mayor of hope Idaho so he's our our man on the ground and he knows everybody in the Exploration game in in Idaho in Nevada and a tremendous asset for us to have down there and just you know Lives in breeds the exploration geology and a tremendous value for our team Also, I mean, we've got jay martin on our board. We're going to be at the vancouver resource investment conference This coming weekend up here in vancouver that jay martin is the ceo of that company. So he also has one of the biggest content libraries of Finance videos in canada. He does a tremendous amount of interviews with the who's who throughout finance in canada and especially the resource side So the connections that the jay is able to put in front of us is is tremendous His network is you know unprecedented So having him on the board goes a long way as well as I mentioned off the top, you know, stevens damley He's he's really helped me grow as a ceo You know somebody who's who's been there and done that and had incredible success with his last company in the base and so being able to Lean on him and call him a mentor goes a long way for me and goes a long way for helping stallion and stallion shareholders. So again, it is A whole team effort it takes a village to really make these go and you know Again huge kudos to them and thank you for giving me the opportunity to do that Yeah, fantastic and just I'm going to give you the last word drew but on behalf of the channel We really want to thank you. This was Amazing to hear your insights. I always look at these as opportunities For viewers to the channel to identify with companies that they would have never discovered on their own And that's the whole idea here is to introduce these companies and here at first hand You guys are doing some really exciting stuff and you've jammed it into a couple of years And started off 2023 with a bang here But if we've missed anything drew certainly your opportunity to speak to the viewing audience now as we look to close down the interview But just want to thank you so much for your time this evening drew in Coming on and sharing your thoughts with us No, I appreciate the ability to do it again, we We had been flying into the radar as we you know conserved our capital and put together what we thought was going to be the right packages and the right jurisdictions and Being able to really launch it and run with it at the right time And now is that time and and being able to come on your channel and share it with your viewers Is is what we want to be doing at this point We think we've put together a very compelling story With you know a very high chance of success at finding, you know, not only one discovery but hopefully several discoveries both throughout the basin and in Idaho and Nevada And getting that story in front of people so that they can be part of our story as well So again, one of the things I I always try and remember or remind people because uh, sometimes you just forget is Stud is our ticker on the tsxv and stlnf is our ticker on the otc qb Because we want people to be a part of this story We think there's going to be a lot of value created and a lot of wealth created and If people get engaged and get involved, uh, they'll learn more about it and as they learn more I think they'll they'll find it's an even more compelling story than what they saw first blush, you know, we've put together a hell of a package and You know, we have a great team behind us to really Continue to push to to deliver value for our shareholders and and that's the ultimate goal why we're here So we're really looking forward to the opportunity to do that and really looking forward to what's to come in in 2023 No, I think you guys have set yourself up for a wealth of catalyst here going forward With these packages and we wish you all the best.
