Greetings Wild Speculator Contrarian,

This is The Next Big Rush, a daily newsletter to keep you informed about the world of mining/energy investing. Where we come together and dream about the boat we're going to buy when we finally make big gains this year. 🛥

Hop onboard and check this out:

 ⚓️  139.9m of 3.0g/t Gold Good Enough For You?

 ⚓️  Adriatic More Robust Than Ever

 ⚓️ Saudis Turning Oil Money Into EV Money

👍🏻 139.9m of 3.0g/t Gold Good Enough For You?

Endurance (TSXV: EDG) (OTC Pink: ENDGF) (FSE: 3EG) Reports Results at Southeast Eagle - 139.9m of 3.05gpt Au including 12.9m of 12.85gpt Au & 11.8m of 6.21gpt Au

More gold found in Southern B.C.

The intersect starts at 32m depth, which is too deep for the Editor to dig single-handedly, but Charlie the dog definitely could. 🐾

The drilling campaign had a total of 38 holes, with 12 reported today. Out of the 12, 5 hit significant grades.

Management like what they see and will use this info to drill deeper in 2023.

The stock is up a decent 11.8% 2 hours from close.

Market cap standing at around 55m.

Not bad, not bad.

💪🏼 Adriatic More Robust Than Ever

We don't really know whether this is a stock or a cult (hey, we uranium investors don't judge), but the reality is, Adriatic Metals (ASX: ADT, LSE:ADT1, OCTQX: ADMLF) keeps delivering time and time again.

Their latest? A mere 45.90m @ 701 g/t AgEq at Rupice Northwest. That's about 10g/t Au Eq.  

Exploration drilling at Rupice NW continues to hit sexy, high-grade massive sulphide mineralisation up-dip, down-dip and down-plunge from previously reported intersections.

We honestly didn't even know there were this many "dips" to be had.

Management is sneakily trying to figure out if Rupice NW connects to the main body of Rupice. If so, our guess is that even more cash will rain upon Adriatic shareholders in the form of capital gains, except they never sell.

7 holes still remain on this reported drilling campaign in Bosnia & Herzegovina, which we couldn't possibly pronounce, but already approve of.

Noice. 

🕌 Saudis Turning Oil Money Into EV Money

Saudi state-owned mining Ma’aden has formed a JV agreement with the kingdom’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) to mine and advance strategic mineral projects by investing in mining assets.

The 49% and 51% split will see the new company focusing on iron ore, nickel, copper, and lithium assets as a non-operating partner.

This ties into the obviously extremely well-connected Ivanhoe Electric and their recent announcement of partnership with Ma’aden investing $126.4m to acquire a 9.9% stake in Ivanhoe Electric.

Ma'aden has also recently sealed a deal with Barrick Gold for two exploration-stage projects.

It's almost like Saudi Arabia is looking into the future and seeing that for a cleaner future, we will need to mine what we so desperately need in the West.

Good for them.

Hang tight, this might be the start of something amazing. Or not.
