 Hi, I'm Chris Thompson for Investor Intel and today I'm speaking with JC Potvin, the Chairman, CEO and President of Merchison Minerals, ticker symbol MUR on the TSX Venture Exchange. How are you today, JC? Great, Chris. Thanks for hosting me. Great. So for those investors who may not know much about Merchison, what can you tell them about your various projects? Sure. Chris, Merchison is a junior mineral development company. We have one more body in Saskatchewan. It's a VMS type deposit. Also have a very interesting nickel copper cobalt project in Quebec called HPM. And we're earning in 100% interest or towards 100% interest in another project north of Val d'Or, which is basically also a VMS type project area. Great. So just focusing on the Saskatchewan project right now, you look like you're looking for some of the what we call the battery metals and you have an existing resource. What can you tell us more about that project? Sure. The rabbit McKenzie deposit, it's a VMS type deposit that's been drilled. There's a resource, which if you combine the inferred and the indicated categories, the total is about 9.7 million tons of pretty decent grades of basically, I would classify it as a high-grade zinc copper silver deposit. It's extremely well located, excellent infrastructure, great province to be in. It's a nice place to be. So what did you do there in Saskatchewan this summer? Summer, we did a couple of holes of basically, I would call that pure exploration. We identified some mineralization, unfortunately not economic, but it's outside the main deposit, which is the rabbit McKenzie deposit. So it was pure exploration. So we intend to do some infill drilling and outfill drilling on the deposit itself this next winter, next spring. And did you do some met work that I see in a news please? Yes, Chris, we did some metallurgical work. In fact, that's from samples that we collected in the drilling last February on the deposit itself. All the work was done by the SRC lab in Saskatoon. The lab technicians were all excited about the great performance we had and recovering the zinc. It floats extremely well, very high recoveries. They told us we should expect to get well over 90 percent overall, you know, recoveries for the zinc and to concentrate. So a good quality, very low impurities. So we're very, very pleased with those results. Great. And switching over to the HPM project in Quebec, and that's your nickel copper cobalt, three, you know, very valuable minerals these days as the electrification of the network requires these, especially on EV and etc. What did you do there this summer? Well, I'll go back to September last year. We sent some three geologists to go prospect, go chase up some of the historical showings. They came back with 47 samples collected at seven different sites. Every single sample had some values of nickel copper cobalt. So we commissioned a detailed magnetic survey, and then subsequent to that, an airborne EM survey came out with nearly 50 different conductors of very, very good quality. So in early June, we sent four geologists on site, and again to sample a number of these targets, focused on one particular target called the PYC. It extends for nearly two kilometers. It's up to 59 meters wide, pervasive, you know, semi-massive to massive sulfides right on surface. You can collect samples all you want. It's a very exciting play. So the plan of the next phase is to actually go drill this PYC target. So we will be drilling 18 holes as the minimum this fall, you know, actually starting in about three weeks. And for a total of about 3,500 meters, we might extend that to 4,000 meters. We do have other targets very, you know, close by, where we collected some pretty decent grade nickel copper cobalt realization. So it's a very, very exciting play. And particularly the fact that the logistics of this project are actually quite good. So for the HPM project, then you've got a plan for the fall. What about for your project in Saskatchewan? What are your upcoming, you know, milestones that investors can look forward to? In Saskatchewan, we plan on doing some infill and outfill drilling on the Brabant McKenzie deposit, probably starting in February, March next year. So roughly five, six months from now. And because that's the best time to go drill. And then we also plan to do a few holes, exploration holes on the Barot project north of Val d'Or. So that's right in the shadow of a known VMS deposit that hosts about 17 million tons of resources. It was partially mined. We're, you know, best place to look for nor bodies right next to another one, particularly when it comes to VMS deposits. So we're pretty excited about the Barot project as well. Now it's much earlier, you know, more grassroots, if you want to call it that. But it's a very good place to be. So lots of news flow that investors can look forward to over the upcoming months. That's right. That's right. We're all, you know, our exploration team made up of essentially four geologists. They're all anxious to hit the ground running at the HPM. That's great. Well, I'd like to thank you for your time. I think that's a good update. I'm speaking with J.C. Potbam, who's the chairman and CEO, president of Merchants and Minerals. Thanks for your time today, J.C. Thank you, Chris.
