Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, makes his first appearance on the program as he joins Shawn Khunkhun, to announce the proposed merger between Contango Ore and Dolly Varden Silver. Rick explains his long history of successful discoveries and mine building in Alaska and describes how Contango’s high grade gold production and strong cash flow complement Dolly Vaden’s large high-grade silver resource in the Kitsault Valley. Shawn highlights that combining the two companies will accelerate project development, reduce capital intensity through the direct shipping ore model, and create a tightly held producer developer explorer with meaningful institutional ownership. Together they outline how the merger creates scale, improves market visibility, and positions the new entity for index inclusion for wider investor access. Both guests express strong confidence that the combined strengths of their teams, assets, and shareholders will generate significant value in a rising precious metals environment. We are proud to have Dolly Varden Silver as a sponsor of LibertyAndFinance.
