In this episode, AVM CEO Adam McKinnon explains how Advanced Metals (ASX: AVM) is positioning for growth as a copper and critical minerals explorer with a growing Mexican portfolio and a Victorian gold project. The company pursues a two-path strategy: strong North American silver-gold assets alongside high-grade Australian targets, with a focus on low-cost exploration and value-add through strategic deals.
Key highlights include the Guadalupe Icalvo (GYC) project in Chihuahua, Mexico, which sits alongside Yiquibo and Gabalanes to deliver about 100 million ounces of silver equivalent (well over a million ounces of gold equivalent). GYC has 816,000 oz gold equivalent and 60.6 million oz silver equivalent in the resource, acquired from Endeavour Silver on favourable terms, and complements the portfolio's growth potential as metal prices move.
In Australia, Myrtleford and Beaufort in Victoria hold high-grade potential, with early drill results at Myrtleford including 160 g/t intervals and standout shows at Happy Valley. The company plans further drilling along strike to expand the footprint.
Adam also covers capital management, the value proposition versus peers (AVM trading at around 12 cents per ounce of silver equivalent) and the near-term catalysts investors should watch for, including revised resource numbers and drill results from Victoria and Mexico.
As the story unfolds, AVM’s agile approach and active in-ground programme could reshape how the market weights its assets. Stay with us as AVM advances its Mexico and Victoria plays and shares more drill news and milestones.
