Resolution Minerals Ltd (RLMLF) – Update for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026


Friday, August 07, 2026

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Making Significant Progress. Resolution Minerals has advanced the Horse Heaven Project as an integrated U.S. critical minerals platform encompassing antimony, tungsten, and gold. Antimony Ridge received FAST-41 Transparency Coverage, with Golden Gate receiving the same status after quarter-end, while Resolution was also admitted to the U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium. Together, these developments could accelerate permitting, enhance access to U.S. government and strategic funding channels, and reinforce the projects’ importance as a domestic critical-mineral supply source. Resolution continues to advance drilling, metallurgy, and permitting activities that support its long-term development strategy.

Project Highlights. Antimony Ridge continues to demonstrate excellent scale and grade, with more than 100 high-grade antimony veins identified and metallurgical testing producing a 99.38% antimony trioxide product. At Golden Gate, the company advanced a 13,700-meter drill program to support a maiden mineral resource estimate, while metallurgical testing returned strong gold recoveries that further de-risk future development. Post quarter-end, approximately half of the planned drilling program has been completed

Kuya Silver (KUYAF) – Multiple Value Drivers Emerging


Friday, August 07, 2026

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Early results are encouraging. Kuya Silver reported encouraging preliminary sampling results from historic stockpiles and tailings at its Silver Kings Project in Northern Ontario, suggesting that previously mined above-ground materials may contain significant recoverable silver and cobalt. The strongest results came from the Kerr Lake Mill crushed stockpile, which returned a master composite grade of 168 g/t silver and 0.365% cobalt (276 g/t silver equivalent), while Frontier tailings returned 75 g/t silver and 0.037% cobalt. These findings support the company’s view that modern processing technologies could unlock value from legacy mining waste.

The program targeted multiple historic sites. The sampling program evaluated seven historic sites, including tailings facilities, blast rock stockpiles, and crushed material left by previous operators. These represent attractive reprocessing targets because historical mining methods were less efficient and often left behind economically valuable mineralization. While the results are preliminary and not representative of entire stockpiles, they demonstrate the potential for recovering silver, cobalt, and, in some cases, copper using modern sorting and processing techniques.

InPlay Oil (IPOOF) – Strategic Acquisition Enhances Outlook


Thursday, August 06, 2026

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Accretive Strategic Acquisition. InPlay Oil announced the acquisition of a private oil and gas producer for C$54.25 million, adding approximately 1,400 boe/d of oil-weighted production and increasing company-wide production to more than 20,100 boe/d. The acquired assets are contiguous with InPlay’s existing operations, enabling approximately C$2.5 million of annual cost synergies, while adding 50 drilling locations and immediately enhancing adjusted funds flow and free adjusted funds flow on a per-share basis. The transaction is expected to close by the end of August, subject to customary closing conditions. Post-close, InPlay expects to have more than 450 total drilling locations, including approximately 230 Tier-1 locations.

Corporate Guidance. InPlay continues to execute strongly, with recent Cardium wells materially outperforming expectations and being drilled ahead of schedule, allowing InPlay to expand its 2026 drilling program to 17 net wells on a pro forma basis. Reflecting stronger operational performance and the acquisition, management increased 2026 guidance, including adjusted funds flow (AFF) to C$161 million to C$169 million, free adjusted funds flow (FAFF) to C$79 million to C$89 million, and FAFF yield to 19% to 21%, despite higher capital spending of C$80 million to C$82 million.

InPlay Oil (IPOOF) – Updating Estimates Based on Higher Second Quarter Crude Oil Prices


Wednesday, August 05, 2026

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Updating estimates. We have increased our Q2 FY2026 revenue, adjusted funds flow (AFF), and AFF per share estimates to C$122.0 million, C$49.6 million, and C$1.77, respectively, from C$104.0 million, C$36.2 million, and C$1.29. While we have lowered our production estimate to 18,663 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) from 18,875 boe/d due to Q2 weather impacts, the increases in our estimates are largely due to higher crude oil prices. For FY 2026, we now project revenue, AFF, and AFF per share of C$425.6 million, C$162.5 million, and C$5.80, respectively, compared to our prior estimates of C$406.2 million, C$148.4 million, and C$5.29. Our FY 2026 average production forecast of 18,900 boe/d is unchanged.

Outlook. InPlay has approximately 190 Tier 1 drilling locations that provide an estimated 10 to 15 years of high-return inventory. The company’s low-decline asset base supports sustainable free cash flow generation while limiting capital requirements needed to maintain production. Conservative leverage provides capacity for future acquisitions while maintaining shareholder returns through the dividend.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Building North America’s LFP Supply Chain. First Phosphate Corp. is a Québec-based critical minerals development company focused on establishing a fully integrated North American lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery materials supply chain. First Phosphate is dedicated exclusively to supplying the rapidly expanding LFP battery market through the production of high-purity igneous phosphate, purified phosphoric acid, and iron phosphate precursor materials.

Differentiated with Significant Competitive Advantages. First Phosphate benefits from significant competitive advantages and differentiation within both the phosphate industry and the broader critical minerals sector. Most phosphate producers worldwide focus on fertilizer markets using sedimentary phosphate deposits that require significant upgrading and are generally less suitable for producing battery-grade phosphoric acid. By contrast, First Phosphate is exclusively targeting the LFP battery industry using rare high-purity igneous phosphate, allowing it to focus on higher-value specialty battery materials.

Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP) – Second Quarter 2026 Review and Outlook


Tuesday, July 28, 2026

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Second Quarter Financial Results. Compared to the prior year period, second-quarter 2026 revenue increased to $551.6 million from $547.5 million due to strong oil & gas royalty revenues, increased coal sales volumes, and higher other revenues, partially offset by a lower average realized coal sales price per ton. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.7% to $185.7 million compared to $161.9 million in the second quarter of last year. Adjusted net income attributable to ARLP increased to $79.6 million, or $0.61 per unit, compared to $59.4 million, or $0.46 per unit, during the prior year period. Second quarter financial results were largely in line with our estimates. We had projected total revenue of $553.5 million, adj. EBITDA of $181.2 million, and EPU of $0.62.

Oil & Gas Royalties Remain a Key Growth Driver. The oil & gas royalties segment delivered record quarterly revenue and segment adjusted EBITDA, driven by increased volumes and higher commodity prices. On July 1, ARLP closed the $206.2 million AllDale III and IV acquisition. Crude oil volumes are now expected to be in the range of 1.95 million to 2.05 million barrels, natural gas volumes are expected to be in the range of 10.0 million to 10.5 million MCF, and liquids volumes are expected to be in the range of 1.1 million to 1.2 million barrels.

TULSA, Okla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: ARLP) (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ARLP” or the “Partnership”) today reported financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 (the “2026 Quarter” and “2026 Period,” respectively). This release includes comparisons of results to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (the “2025 Quarter” and “2025 Period,” respectively) and to the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (the “Sequential Quarter”). All references in the text of this release to “net income” refer to “net income attributable to ARLP.” For a definition of Distributable Cash Flow, Distribution Coverage Ratio, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense and related reconciliations to comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the end of this release.

For the 2026 Quarter, net income increased 33.9% to $79.6 million, or $0.61 per basic and diluted limited partner unit, compared to $59.4 million, or $0.46 per basic and diluted limited partner unit for the 2025 Quarter primarily as a result of higher total revenues and equity method investment income, and the impact of an impairment loss taken in the 2025 Quarter on a preferred equity investment. Total revenues increased to $551.6 million in the 2026 Quarter compared to $547.5 million for the 2025 Quarter as a result of record oil & gas royalty revenues, increased coal sales volumes and higher other revenues, partially offset by lower coal sales price per ton. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.7% to $185.7 million in the 2026 Quarter compared to $161.9 million in the 2025 Quarter.

Compared to the Sequential Quarter, total revenues increased 6.9% due to higher coal sales volumes, which rose 8.9% to 8.6 million tons sold in the 2026 Quarter compared to 7.9 million tons sold in the Sequential Quarter, partially offset by 2.7% lower coal sales prices per ton. Net income increased by $70.5 million compared to the Sequential Quarter driven by higher revenues, increased investment income, a smaller decline in the fair value of our digital assets, and a $37.8 million non-cash asset impairment charge in the Sequential Quarter at our Mettiki mine. Adjusted EBITDA for the 2026 Quarter increased by 19.8% compared to the Sequential Quarter.

Total revenues decreased slightly to $1.07 billion for the 2026 Period compared to $1.09 billion for the 2025 Period primarily due to lower coal sales, partially offset by record oil & gas royalty revenues. Net income for the 2026 Period was $88.7 million, or $0.68 per basic and diluted limited partner unit, compared to $133.4 million, or $1.03 per basic and diluted limited partner unit, for the 2025 Period. Adjusted EBITDA for the 2026 Period increased 5.8% to $340.7 million compared to $321.9 million for the 2025 Period.

CEO Commentary

“Our coal operations performed well during the quarter, highlighted by strong productivity and disciplined cost control,” said Joseph W. Craft III, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “River View and Tunnel Ridge generated superior operating results, driving Segment Adjusted EBITDA expense per ton sold lower by 6.3% year-over-year and 6.6% sequentially. With Hamilton recently returning to longwall production and no additional longwall moves expected until 2027, we believe our operations are well-positioned to meaningfully increase production and cash flow generation during the second half of this year.”

Mr. Craft added, “Our Oil & Gas Royalties segment delivered record quarterly revenue of $46.3 million and Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $38.0 million, driven by stronger realized commodity pricing. Subsequent to quarter end, we successfully closed the $206.2 million AllDale III & IV acquisition. With this transaction, our cumulative investment in oil & gas royalties now exceeds $1.0 billion, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of ARLP’s diversified natural resource platform.”

Mr. Craft continued, “Repeating my comments when we announced our agreement to buy these reserves, this acquisition accelerates the continued growth of our Oil & Gas Royalties segment, adding scale and development upside across multiple U.S. basins, anchored by a meaningful Permian position. It also expands our natural gas footprint with entry into the Haynesville, a resource play well-positioned to benefit from long-term LNG export demand growth. We believe this acquisition will be immediately accretive to ARLP’s free cash flow per unit and strengthens ARLP’s long-term royalty platform, broadens our exposure to high-quality operators and advances our long-term strategy of building a durable, cash-generating royalties business that complements our existing coal operations.”

Segment Results and Analysis (Unaudited)

Coal Operations

Coal sales volumes decreased by 4.5% in the Illinois Basin compared to the 2025 Quarter due primarily to decreased tons sold from our Hamilton mine as a result of a planned extended longwall move during the 2026 Quarter, partially offset by a strong sales performance and productivity at our River View complex. Compared to the Sequential Quarter, tons sold increased by 4.9% driven primarily by River View’s strong performance during the 2026 Quarter. In Appalachia, tons sold increased by 27.6% and 22.3% compared to the 2025 Quarter and Sequential Quarter, respectively, primarily as a result of increased production at our Tunnel Ridge longwall operation due to improved recoveries and higher productivity. Coal sales price per ton decreased by 22.9% and 14.7% in Appalachia compared to the 2025 Quarter and Sequential Quarter, respectively, primarily due to an increased sales mix of lower priced Tunnel Ridge sales volumes in the 2026 Quarter and reduced sales price per ton at Mettiki. ARLP ended the 2026 Quarter with total coal inventory of 0.8 million tons, representing a decrease of 0.3 million tons compared to the end of both the 2025 Quarter and Sequential Quarter.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton in the Illinois Basin increased 3.7% and 2.2% compared to the 2025 Quarter and Sequential Quarter, respectively, due primarily to the planned extended longwall move at our Hamilton mine during the 2026 Quarter. In Appalachia, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton for the 2026 Quarter decreased by 29.7% and 25.7% compared to the 2025 Quarter and Sequential Quarter, respectively, as a result of increased production at our Tunnel Ridge operation.

Royalties

Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the Oil & Gas Royalties segment increased to a record $38.0 million in the 2026 Quarter compared to $29.9 million and $34.6 million in the 2025 Quarter and Sequential Quarter, respectively, primarily due to higher average sales prices per MBOE, which increased 22.7% and 22.1%, respectively, partially offset by higher expenses. Oil & gas royalty volumes increased 6.4% compared to the 2025 Quarter as a result of increased drilling and completion activities on our acreage combined with additional oil & gas mineral interests acquired. Volumes decreased 8.4% sequentially due to natural decline from high-ownership pads completed in the Sequential Quarter.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the Coal Royalties segment increased to $13.0 million in the 2026 Quarter compared to $11.8 million and $12.3 million in the 2025 Quarter and Sequential Quarter, respectively, due to higher royalty tons sold, primarily from Tunnel Ridge and River View, partially offset by higher expenses.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2026, total debt and finance leases were outstanding in the amount of $590.2 million. The Partnership’s total and net leverage ratios were 0.82 times and 0.67 times debt to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, as of June 30, 2026. ARLP ended the 2026 Quarter with total liquidity of $424.0 million, which included $111.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $312.8 million of borrowings available under its revolving credit and accounts receivable securitization facilities. In addition, ARLP held 646 bitcoins valued at $37.9 million as of June 30, 2026.

Distributions

ARLP announced today that the Board of Directors of ARLP’s general partner approved a cash distribution to unitholders for the 2026 Quarter of $0.60 per unit (an annualized rate of $2.40 per unit), payable on August 14, 2026, to all unitholders of record as of the close of trading on August 7, 2026. The Distribution Coverage Ratio for the 2026 Quarter was 1.39x.

Concurrent with this announcement, we are providing qualified notice to brokers and nominees that hold ARLP units on behalf of non-U.S. investors under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b) and (d) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446(f)-4(c)(2)(iii). Brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent (100%) of ARLP’s distributions to non-U.S. investors as being attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United States trade or business. In addition, brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent (100%) of the distribution as being in excess of cumulative net income for purposes of determining the amount to withhold. Accordingly, ARLP’s distributions to non-U.S. investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at a rate equal to the highest applicable effective tax rate plus ten percent (10%). Nominees, and not ARLP, are treated as the withholding agents responsible for withholding on the distributions received by them on behalf of non-U.S. investors.

July 2026 Acquisition of Oil & Gas Royalties

On July 1, 2026, we completed the previously announced acquisition of certain general partner and limited partner interests in AllDale Minerals III, LP and AllDale Minerals IV, LP (collectively “AllDale III & IV”) for approximately $206.2 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The AllDale III & IV acquisition expands and diversifies our portfolio of mineral and royalty interests through the added control of approximately 48,500 net royalty acres across premier basins and resource plays including the Permian, Anadarko, Bakken and Haynesville.

ARLP funded the acquisition using a combination of cash on hand, borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and a new $150.0 million term loan at its wholly owned subsidiary Alliance Minerals, LLC.

Outlook

“Due to our strong contracted sales book, we were minimally impacted this quarter by lower domestic coal demand in the first half of this year due to mild weather and lower natural gas prices,” Mr. Craft continued. “During the quarter, we continued to add to our sales book by securing an additional 21.2 million committed and priced coal sales tons over the 2026 to 2031 time period. Our expected 2026 coal sales tons are essentially fully committed at the midpoint of guidance, and we now have 29.4 million tons committed and priced for 2027 delivery. We believe this level of forward commitment reflects both the strategic importance of our coal supply and the confidence customers place in ARLP’s ability to deliver.”

Mr. Craft concluded, “We are increasing our full-year oil & gas royalties volume guidance to reflect the contribution of the AllDale III & IV acquisition beginning in the third quarter of 2026. Similar to our coal segment, we believe our Oil & Gas Royalties segment is well-positioned to meaningfully increase production and cash flow generation during the second half of this year. Looking ahead, our strategy within this segment is focused on reducing leverage, maintaining financial flexibility, and pursuing disciplined acquisition opportunities that enhance long-term unitholder value.”
