India’s Next Big Oil Discovery Andaman Basin Sparks Global Interest India may be on the verge of a massive energy breakthrough in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. In this in-depth report, we explore how the Andaman Sea is fast becoming a frontier of hope for India’s $3.7 trillion economy, with the potential to unlock reserves comparable to those that transformed Guyana. Positioned at the tectonic intersection of major plates and surrounded by proven reserves in Myanmar and Indonesia, the Andaman Basin could reshape India’s path to energy independence. With aggressive drilling led by ONGC and Oil India Limited, one well has already revealed signs of an active petroleum system. But challenges remain, from high costs and deep-sea drilling risks to environmental clearances and global scrutiny. We also look at the wider implications: the booming offshore mining industry, the $9.3 billion Great Nicobar Holistic Development Project, and the environmental concerns that come with rapid industrial expansion in a biodiversity-rich zone.

US firm demos millimetre wave drilling tech to dig world’s deepest hole for power | Mrigakshi Dixit, Interesting Engineering Recently, millimeter wave drilling was demonstrated on a full-scale oil and gas rig in Houston, Texas. At present, the oil and gas industry is a major energy provider, delivering terawatts of power globally. Now, there’s an opportunity to leverage this existing infrastructure to tap into superhot geothermal energy, opening a new frontier for clean, abundant power. Founded in 2018, Quaise Energy’s primary goal is to revolutionize the energy landscape by harnessing superdeep geothermal energy. They aim to achieve this by deploying novel millimeter wave drilling technology. This technology is capable of reaching depths beyond conventional drilling limits, where temperatures are hot enough to provide abundant and globally accessible clean energy. Recently, millimeter wave drilling was demonstrated on a full-scale oil and gas rig in Houston, Texas. “This is the first-ever hybrid drilling rig, combining conventional and millimeter wave capabilities,” the company noted. It added that this development “puts us one step closer to superhot geothermal power production.” Geothermal hotspot lies miles deep The company says that the oil and gas industry operates on a massive scale, drilling around 70,000 wells annually worldwide using nearly 2,000 rigs. This extensive infrastructure and experience in large-scale operations are precisely what the geothermal sector needs to expand and become a more significant energy source. “By using these resources to drill superhot geothermal wells, we can generate abundant baseload power in record time. There’s no other energy solution capable of the same scale and speed,” it noted. To access geothermal hotspots, the company plans to drill wells ranging from two to twelve miles deep. This ambitious undertaking surpasses the depth of Russia’s Kola Borehole (7.6 miles). At these extreme depths exists “superhot rock,” where temperatures exceed 375°C (about 700°F). Superhot rocks could increase geothermal energy output, aligning with the U.S. Department of Energy’s goal to boost geothermal power production by 20 times in the coming years. Currently, geothermal energy accounts for less than 1% of total electricity in the U.S. The key hurdle is that conventional drilling technology cannot reach these extreme depths. This is precisely the problem that millimeter wave drilling technology is designed to overcome. The novel drilling method uses a gyrotron, a device that generates powerful, high-frequency millimeter waves. These waves are so intense that they can literally vaporize rock, functioning like a “microwave on steroids” to bore deep into the Earth. Technology demonstration Currently, Quaise Energy and Nabors Industries are running comprehensive tests to perfect the integration of their new drilling technology with existing oil and gas rigs. “We’ve taken a full-scale drilling rig and integrated our millimeter wave drilling system. We call it a hybrid rig, one that can perform both conventional and millimeter wave drilling to unlock geothermal energy at great depths all around the world,” noted Andres Calabressi, head of manufacturing at Quaise. New Atlas reported that Quaise successfully melted a hole into a granite/basalt rock mixture in a full-scale demonstration. They achieved this by powering a 100-kW gyrotron with 50,000 volts DC, connected to a Nabors F rig. During the demo, the drill operated at approximately 48 kW, burning through rock at a rate of 0.8 inches (2 cm) per minute. Read more:

That is pure, grade-A ingenuity right there. When you marry a handyman, you aren’t just marrying a partner—you’re marrying a personal research and development department. There is nothing sexier than a man who sees a problem in the yard, walks into the garage, and walks out twenty minutes later with a custom, custom-engineered tool made from spare parts. What you are looking at is a homemade deep-root watering spike. When you plant young fruit trees, surface watering often leads to shallow root systems and high evaporation rates. By converting an old metal watering wand, smashing the tip to hold pressure, and drilling targeted holes along the shaft, he built a tool that delivers hydration directly to the root zone where the tree needs it most. It saves water, promotes deeper root growth, and helps the orchard survive the hot summer months. It is the perfect balance of practical farm life and a husband absolutely showing off his skills. You can't buy that kind of thoughtfulness at a big-box store. For anyone looking to replicate this brilliant DIY build, here are a few expert tips to maximize the design and keep your young trees thriving: Tips to Enhance the DIY Deep-Root Waterer Deburr the Holes: After drilling the water holes along the shaft, use a small file or sandpaper to smooth down any sharp metal edges. This ensures the wand slides into the dirt smoothly without catching on roots or tearing up the soil. Add a T-Handle: To make pushing the wand into hard or compacted soil easier on the back, consider adding a secure T-handle or cross-bar near the top grip. This gives you extra leverage to use your body weight rather than relying purely on arm strength. Control the Flow: Adding a simple brass shut-off valve right at the base of the handle allows you to easily turn the water on and off as you move from tree to tree, preventing mud splatters and saving water in between tasks. Calculate the Spacing: When drilling the holes, place them primarily on the lower third of the pipe. You want the water dispersing deep underground, not bubbling back up to the surface near the top of the grass line. A little creativity goes a long way. Having a partner who can build exactly what you need is a total game-changer.

🌊 A Chatham House analyst says the U.S.-Iran memorandum has not resolved the Strait of Hormuz crisis, and while both governments may politically declare the waterway “open,” in reality “the ships likely just won’t go” until both sides can credibly end hostilities. Key details: 🔸 Around 80 naval mines are estimated to have been laid across four locations in the strait, according to analyst Nitya Labh. While the memorandum commits both Washington and Tehran to demining, and Iran has suggested it could do so within 30 days, Labh said “neither the United States nor Iran has enough ships and enough capabilities” to clear the mines, noting the U.S. has historically relied on NATO allies for large-scale minesweeping. 🔸 Labh suggests an Oman-Iran cooperative management mechanism for the strait may be the answer that provides a face-saving compromise for both parties in the conflict 🔸It allows Tehran “the victory of asserting some sort of sense of control” without granting the IRGC unilateral authority to impose tolls or “unilateral jurisdiction over shipping,” a scenario she said could also satisfy U.S. demands for an international cooperative framework, rather than IRGC control. 🔸 Oman could also bring in outside partners, she said, noting the UK and France have discussed a multinational naval coalition. European countries could help clear mines while providing “transparency that can build trust towards more positive negotiations.” 🔸 Until the U.S. and Iran can “credibly commit to a cessation of hostilities,” Labh said commercial shipping is unlikely to recover, with many vessels expected to remain stranded despite official declarations that the strait is open.

$TUD.v - Maybe the cheapest tier-1 project on the market. Summary of the TUDOR GOLD Interview • Project focus: Treaty Creek project in BC’s Golden Triangle (CANADA), a large gold-copper exploration and development asset. One of the top 10 biggest #GOLD discoveries worldwide the last 30 years. 2024 MRE: Indicated gold: 21.66 million ounces Inferred gold: 4.88 million ounces (AuEq ounces: 27.87 Moz Indicated + 6.03 Moz Inferred) • Production ambition: Targeting a potential future production profile of ~250,000 to 300,000 oz gold per year from a large-scale underground operation, subject to economics and permitting • Resource update plans: Updated Mineral Resource Estimate planned for January 2026, with a focus on defining higher-grade zones better suited for underground mining, targeting 5M+ oz at 2+ g/t • PEA timeline: Preliminary Economic Assessment expected in Q3 2026, outlining economics, costs, and a ~10,000 tpd underground mine concept • Underground access strategy: Permitting an underground decline to allow year-round drilling, materially lower drilling costs vs surface drilling, and improve drill density and data quality • Exploration upside: Ongoing exploration beyond Goldstorm, including targets along the Sulphurets Thrust Fault, with potential for an additional 5 to 10M oz #GOLD 😳 • Capital position: Approximately $26M raised to fund the resource update, PEA work, permitting, and continued exploration throughout 2026! • Peer comparison: Management highlights favorable grade continuity and geological style compared to some nearby Golden Triangle deposits, while noting more drilling is needed to fully confirm continuity • Infrastructure advantage: Existing road and power access in the Golden Triangle seen as a meaningful positive for future development economics ————————————— 2026 may be the re-rate year with all these triggers 😍 Damn I need to add more shares even though the stock has been lagging 2025, I believe the re-rate is imminent and I love the story. They have drilled a lot of new high grade zones since the last MRE and are continuing to do so, they are even focusing on the high grade zones to add meaningful ounces and grades, all to increase the value of the company in rapid speed. This new CEO / Team is the best thing that could have happen to Tudor. Joe Ovsenek is the CEO for both Tudor and P2 Gold right now. This team means business, ( $PGLD.v ran 10x 2025..) Joe was the CEO of Pretium Resources and led Newmonts Brucejack mine from a development-stage project into a producing mine. Brucejack is also in the Golden Triangle;) Key achievements: • Took Brucejack through feasibility, permitting, financing, and construction • Brought the mine into commercial production in 2017 • Helped build Brucejack into one of Canada’s highest-grade underground gold mines After that, Brucejack was later acquired along with Pretium (Newcrest in 2022, then Newmont after buying Newcrest). Note: Brucejack is currently ranked among the top 5 largest #gold mines in Canada, a monster mine with ~8 g/t Au average grade for the mined ore. This is a team that creates value and moves forward. I am expecting a perfect storm year with rising #Gold, value creating newsflow and re-rate priceaction. Bonus: #Tudor holds significant #silver and #copper in addition to its gold resource. Historically treated as by-product credits, at today’s silver and copper prices (especially silver) those contained metals now represent substantial additional in-ground metal value that enhances the overall project economics Indicated: 128.7 Moz silver, 2.87 Blb copper Inferred: 29.0 Moz silver, 0.503 Blb copper Total: 157.7 Moz silver, 3.37 Blb copper Final comments: Tudors mcap right now is a joke. The stock have performed poorly and was a huge disappointment 2025, I can’t see that happen 2026 with current leadership, triggers ahead, further rising metal prices and as they ramp up marketing along the way

“Number one risk… that’s discovery risk.” Our CEO Troy Boisoli says $SASK $SASKF has now made multiple discoveries at Angilak, with RIB and Lac 50 showing a system that is moving from discovery into continuity and “building underlying asset value.” ATHA Energy VP of Exploration, Cliff Revering, was the chief geologist at Cigar Lake: "So we have a very good familiarity with large scale uranium systems and tier one uranium systems. And what we're seeing both at Lac 50 and at RIB is we're seeing mineralization where we're stepping out hundreds of meters to kilometers targeting geophysical signatures and hitting uranium mineralization. But not only are we hitting uranium it's the entire system. We're hitting large scale graphitic-sulfidic structures that are localizing mineralization that have tens to hundreds of metres of alteration surrounding them. It's indicative of a very large trend, a very large system. And it's actually unique because when you start to look at this the geologic setting, how it's characterized, it's more analogous probably to a lode gold system than a typical than a typical hydrothermal uranium system that you would see in the Athabasca Basin. And you can understand that we've been building up the thesis for the last couple of years, and every time we get a new set of data, we start to refine and and distill our observations, which then in turn leads to increased predictability within our drill results. And once you get to defining kind of first order mineralized controls it's a really exciting position to be in because then you're building – then you're actually building underlying asset value as opposed to just addressing that first risk, which is discovery risk. We're now into that second phase, which is building continuity within the system." Interview with 📐triANGLE INVESTOR

BREAKING: NovaRed Mining’s Wilmac Project Is Nearly 3x the Size of Manhattan, Comparable to ~30,000 Football Fields - and Already Entering the Conversation as One of the Largest Emerging Copper Projects by Land Scale $NRED / $NREDF is becoming impossible to ignore. The company’s Wilmac Copper-Gold Project in British Columbia now spans: • 16,078 hectares • 160.78 km² • ~39,732 acres • Nearly 3x Manhattan Island • Roughly 30,000 football fields By land scale alone, Wilmac is already comparable to some globally recognized copper mining districts and large-scale projects. This is why many investors are beginning to view NovaRed as a potential mega-project in development rather than a typical junior exploration company. But the bigger differentiator may be the AI infrastructure behind the land package. NovaRed’s MetalCore AI platform is designed to integrate: • satellite imagery • geology • geochemistry • magnetic anomalies • geophysics • ownership records • predictive modeling into one mineral intelligence engine capable of identifying high-probability exploration targets at scale. And the market opportunity could be massive. There are roughly 77 million landowners in the United States controlling more than 1.3 billion acres of land — most of which has never been analyzed using modern AI-driven mineral discovery systems. At the same time, copper prices are surging toward historic highs as demand accelerates from: AI infrastructure, hyperscale data centers, robotics, EVs, defense systems, transformers and global electrification. Recent North Lamont results reported copper values up to 379 ppm Cu alongside porphyry indicators and magnetic anomalies, with additional geophysical work already underway. Still early-stage. Still speculative. But by land scale, AI vision and exposure to the copper supply chain, this is becoming a very serious story to add to your watch list. DYOR! Do your work ! Do your own research ! Don’t rely on this information ! Everybody can lose in stocks !

In conversation with National Award winning Director, Om Raut - on all things Hindi Film Industry. Om is one of the very few directors who continues to make large-scale magnum opuses on 🇮🇳history & pride, with producers consistently trusting his vision. This #ShaktiEchoesfromBharat conversation has arisen out of the need to address the obvious gaps in the struggle of mainstreaming nationalist voices in the industry. One may find the following bits very interesting: - The industry plays victim to the current government’s policies and attitude. So is the Modi government really censoring the industry heavily? - Why are there such few right of centre voices who make movies on our glorious culture and history? - propaganda films and do they really influence elections - on the fake ‘nationalists’ who have found this gap and will flip the minute the government changes… I can see no better time to release this video than now, when the Opposition is attacking PM Narendra Modi , all guns blazing, for speaking about a recently released film at a rally. In my humble opinion, they have had a free run in the movie industry for decades… and now that people are finally making inroads with alternate views which are materializing in form of large-scale movies, it’s pinching them. Do watch for deep insights into the movie business from a mainstream insider. Om Raut

#WATCH | Delhi: At the signing of MoU between Government of India, Nagaland & Assam, Union Home Minister Amit Shah says, "... I know that Himanta ji is very tenacious when it comes to Assam's interests. However, when I spoke to him and suggested that he set aside this specific issue, explaining that there is neither a winner nor a loser, but rather a win-win situation where India, Assam, and Nagaland all emerge victorious—he agreed. They have set aside their immediate gains to enter into a tripartite agreement involving Nagaland, Assam, and the Government of India. Most importantly, this appears to pave the way for mineral mining across the entire North East. We are all aware that the North East holds immense reserves of not only oil and gas but also minerals; however, due to minor issues and law-and-order problems, we were previously unable to harness this national wealth. Today, a single MoU will enable us to increase our extraction capacity, currently ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 barrels per day, more than tenfold. A single field alone holds the potential for recoveries exceeding Rs 15,000 crore. If the oil and gas reserves across Nagaland are fully tapped, I believe we can significantly reduce our dependence on foreign sources to meet our needs in this sector. The absence of such an agreement and the resulting disputes had long hindered the economic development of both states..."

🚨RED STATE TEXAS UNDER NON-STOP ATTACK - SHE WARNED THEM ABOUT CAIR… THEY APPROVED IT 7-0 A champion stood before the packed McKinney City Council and told them the truth. She said the McKinney Islamic Association is most likely connected to CAIR - the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Governor Abbott has declared CAIR a terrorist organization. There is active litigation between CAIR and the State of Texas right now. She reminded every council member of their oath to the U.S. and Texas Constitutions to protect the citizens of McKinney. She urged them to seek a second legal opinion from the Attorney General’s office. She demanded they table the decision until the investigations and litigation are finished. Texans packed the room for four hours and begged for a pause. The Council refused. They voted 7-0 to approve the mosque. This is bigger than McKinney. Texas and Florida have both designated them a foreign terrorist organization. Americans all across the country want this group out of their states. Yet they are still operating. Still embedded. Still expanding. As of today, Donald Trump has been in office a total of 2,024 days across both administrations - and we still cannot remove this stain that has penetrated every level of our government. We are losing our country. McKinney City Council chose to move forward while the investigations remain open and while CAIR continues to operate freely. YES TEXAS - A CHAMPION SPOKE. THE COUNCIL LOOKED AWAY. CAIR IS STILL HERE. THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER.

The Junior Mining Trade is Finally On and Here's Why For junior mining investors, 2024 has been a mixed bag of patience and promise. While the price of gold and silver has been skyrocketing to levels unseen in over 20 years, junior mining stocks haven’t kept pace. Many investors who poured money into smallcap exploration companies expecting them to follow gold’s surge are getting restless. But things are finally looking up for this lagging sector, and it’s all about where we’re at in the natural resource cycle. Let’s break down what’s happening and what might be on the horizon. Gold and Silver Are Shining—So Where Are the Juniors? Over the past year, the price of gold has climbed nearly 38%, with silver up a stunning 42.5%. Yet, despite these record-breaking moves, the smaller companies focused on exploration and discovery, the juniors, have barely moved. The S&P TSX Global Mining Index is up a respectable 23%, but the TSX Venture Metals and Mining Index, where most juniors trade, has only eked out a 9% gain. What gives? The answer lies in understanding how large and small mining companies navigate their roles in the precious metals cycle. Large mining firms like Newmont have been basking in higher prices, increasing production, and capitalizing on high margins. But for smaller companies, the real opportunity often comes when large producers start feeling the need to secure future supply. And here in late 2024, that moment is just arriving. The Resource Equation: Why Giants Like Newmont Look to the Smaller Names To understand how the big miners influence juniors, let’s look at Newmont Corporation, the world’s largest gold miner, operating across four continents. Newmont’s primary goal is to produce as much gold as possible at the lowest possible cost. But mining is unlike most industries—every ton of ore that comes out of the ground depletes reserves. Once Newmont extracts an ounce of gold, it’s gone for good. And unless it adds new ounces to its portfolio, production eventually declines, and so does the stock price. For a giant like Newmont, replacing these reserves through new discoveries is costly, risky, and time-consuming. Companies like Newmont prefer to purchase assets that are already developed or nearly so. Recently, Newmont acquired Newcrest in a $28.8 billion deal, marking the largest gold merger to date. Newcrest itself grew through acquisitions, buying up promising mines like Red Chris and Brucejack to shore up its reserves. By buying Newcrest, Newmont added high-quality, low-cost ounces to its portfolio, but the global giant still needs to continually replenish reserves to meet production demands. That’s where the juniors come in. Agnico-Eagle and the Depletion Dilemma Agnico-Eagle, the second largest gold producer, faces similar challenges. After its own string of acquisitions, including a merger with Kirkland Lake Gold and the purchase of Yamana’s assets, Agnico has continued to produce significant volumes of gold. But high production volumes mean reserves are also dwindling fast. Take Agnico’s mines in Mexico, Pinos Altos and La India, which once held nearly 80 million tonnes of gold and silver ore. After a decade of operation, these assets are close to depletion. Agnico has exploration projects, but it’s unclear if they’ll be able to replenish the company’s gold supply at the rate it’s being depleted. For Agnico, acquiring developed assets is a faster solution, but with competition increasing, the company may soon have to look at even smaller players—putting junior mining companies back in the spotlight. The Junior Mining Cycle: Positioned for Growth? As long as gold and silver prices remain high, big mining companies will be on the lookout for acquisitions to secure future production. In fact, the 23% gain in the S&P TSX Global Mining Index and the 45% one-year return on the GDX signal that the metals rally is starting to reach mining stocks. The trend is only beginning to impact juniors, but it’s gaining momentum. Soon, even higher-risk, earlier-stage exploration companies may become prime acquisition targets for larger miners. For juniors, this translates into real opportunity. As big miners get hungrier for reserves, they’ll go further up the risk curve to secure assets, bringing much-needed capital into the space. Exploration companies that prove their resource quality, viability, and production potential may see increased valuations and potentially, acquisition offers. And with investor attention gradually returning to the sector, the right companies could see significant price moves. How to Navigate the Junior Mining Space The challenge, of course, is identifying which juniors have what it takes to make it. As some veteran mining investors will tell you, success often depends less on the project itself and more on the people managing it. I’ve spoken with Rick Rule, Doug Casey, and Frank Giustra over the last year and they all emphasize the importance of strong management teams in mining. A great deposit in the hands of an inexperienced team can lead to wasted resources, while an average deposit managed well can turn into a profitable operation. The Deep Dive has hosted numerous junior mining CEOs who’ve given us insight into their companies, strategies, and outlooks. One example is Silver Tiger Metals, which has been developing a promising silver asset in Sonora, Mexico, close to Agnico’s Pinos Altos. We spoke with their CEO, Glenn Jessome, about how he plans to bring the project to fruition. For investors, hearing directly from these leaders can provide a clearer sense of who knows what they’re doing and who might struggle if challenges arise. 2025: A Big Year Ahead for Junior Mining? The signs are there—2025 could be a pivotal year for junior miners. The macroeconomic backdrop is favorable, with sustained demand for gold and silver likely as inflationary pressures and a strong dollar drive more investors into metals. Meanwhile, big mining firms are looking to juniors to secure their future production, meaning higher acquisition interest and more money flowing into exploration companies. If you’re watching the junior mining space, keep an eye on the fundamentals: Who has strong management? Which projects are positioned in promising jurisdictions?

Predictix: DNA, AI, and the #Zionist Infiltration of UK Mental Health. My report yesterday for UK Column covers the Israeli influence over mental health in the UK - DNA-mining and fast-track drug prescription. Yesterday’s main report covers the progression from the UK-Israel partnership on health sectors in northern England to the involvement of Israeli “innovation” in mental health care and fast-track to drug prescription based on your DNA and demographic data. It is a terrifying glimpse into a future influenced and governed those who wish to see us converted into hackable humans with no connection to our collective Humanity. You can watch the full news program here. The following is taken from a recent article by Julian Rose, further excerpts below: Yuval Noah Harari, the Israeli professor of history and top advisor to the Word Economic Forum cabal, has made a point of stating how human beings are now “hackable”, and how this will enable the reengineering of the human into a gene edited version in which ‘all the faults have been removed’. With the result that this entity will then become ‘superior to God’. “We will do better than God” in Harari’s words. This has a strong throw-back to Hitler’s preoccupation with the pre World War Two eugenics program, designed to result in the breeding of ‘the perfect Aryan’. In the Nazi’s case, an athletic, blond haired, blue eyed ‘ubermensch’. Read more on my Substack: David Miller Crispin Flintoff

GUANAJUATO SILVER CEO: "WE ARE MEXICO'S FASTEST GROWING SILVER MINER" $GSVR.V 🎙️ CEO James Anderson provides a major update following the closed acquisition of the Bolanitos mine. Here are the key takeaways. DEAL CLOSED: BOLANITOS IS MINE #5 ➡️ Transaction value: Up to US$50M ($30M cash, $10M shares, $10M contingent). 💰 Bolanitos produced 1.8M AgEq oz in 2024 and will likely be GSVR's largest producer in 2026. 🤝 A win-win with Endeavour Silver, who remains a supportive shareholder and partner. STRATEGIC SYNERGY: HUB-&-SPOKE MODEL OPTIMIZED ✅ GSVR now has three processing plants in the Guanajuato district. 🔧 The intermediate "Cata" plant is now on care & maintenance. ⚡ This allows the other two plants (El Cubo & Bolanitos) to run at >85% utilization, driving down costs and improving profitability. PRECIOUS METALS PURITY: A CLEAR DIFFERENTIATOR ✅ Post-acquisition, 95% of revenue will come from gold & silver (~55/45 split). 🛡️ "We are very much a precious metals company... not a base metal company in disguise." 📈 This offers pure leverage to the current gold & silver price environment. GROWTH CATALYSTS: BEYOND THE 5 PRODUCING MINES ➡️ Exploration: A record 44,000 meters of drilling budgeted for 2024. 🔍 Development: Past-producing assets like Pingüico, El Horcón, and the newly acquired San Sebastián Sabina mine offer future pipeline. 🚀 Consolidation: The goal is to unify the historic Guanajuato Silver District. "We’ve built a platform for building an important mining operation." THE BOTTOM LINE Guanajuato Silver is executing a clear strategy: consolidate a historic district, optimize operations for margin expansion, and grow pure precious metals production. With the transformative Bolanitos deal closed, 2026 is set for material production growth and significant news flow. $GSVR.V is part of my current portfolio (DYODD)👇 #GuanajuatoSilver #GSVR #Silver #Gold #Mining #MiningStocks #PreciousMetals #Acquisition #Growth #Investing $GSVR.V
