Darren Cooke - Auteco Minerals (ASX: AUT)
Auteco Minerals owns the Pickle Crow gold project in Canada. Pickle Crow has a resource of 2.8-million ounces at a whopping 7.2-grams a tonne, but the company has a valuation of just 62-million dollars, that equates to about 20 odd dollars per ounce. Chief Executive Darren Cooke, says the stock is cheap but it's not the only gold stock which would appear to be undervalued in this market. That said, it's highly leveraged to a pop in the gold price and to further growth in the resource. Particularly close to the surface where the company believes it could be onto an open cut proposition where it currently has about a million ounces within 250m of the surface. Drilling is ongoing, various studies are taking place and Auteco is well placed to capitalise on an increase in the gold price and further growth at Pickle Crow.  ---- Produced by Resource Media ---- The Hole Truth is a product of Read Corporate.

Jason Berton - PolarX (ASX: PXX)
PolarX just announced a big increase in their resource at its Caribou Dome Project in Alaska. A resources increase of 160% elevates PolarX and its project to development status, but development is not the only card on the table. The company is determined to create value by continuing to grow that resource and also pursue its gold exploration projects. With Northern Star as a major shareholder the company has every reason to be confident in the outlook. Jason Berton, the Managing Director, gave us some great insights into why he believes the fun is just starting for PolarX and its shareholders.  ---- Produced by Resource Media ---- The Hole Truth is a product of Read Corporate.

Darren Stralow - Bellevue Gold (ASX: BGL)
Bellevue Gold is Australia's next major gold producer, with the first bars set to be poured at its WA project in the December quarter of this year. Managing Director Darren Stralow leads this first-class team as it heads down the home straight. In this episode of The Hole Truth Podcast, he provides some candid insights into how he is sleeping as Bellevue prepares to flick the switch and ramp up to 200,000oz a year. As a former Northern Star executive, Stralow has a wealth of experience, as does his team. When this is combined with the high-grade orebody at Bellevue and the prospect of production and cashflow fast-approaching, it is easy to understand why analysts see a share price re-rating heading the Company's way. ---- Produced by Resource Media ---- The Hole Truth is a product of Read Corporate.

And he discusses how the recent fall in the company’s share price due to softer markets, combined with the strong upcoming newsflow, presents investors with an opportunity.   ---- Produced by Resource Media ---- The Hole Truth is a product of Read Corporate.

David Reeves - Calidus Resources (ASX: CAI)
Calidus Resources may be a young gold producer. But the Company has already had a few ups and downs in its short life. As Managing Director Dave Reeves explains, the share price soared through $1 as Calidus built its Warrawoona gold project in the Pilbara on time and on budget. But a perfect storm, including covid, a lack of water and a falling gold price hit as commissioning got underway, taking the price down to around 20c.  But Reeves says these challenges have been overcome. Production is rising, the company is making money, there is plenty of growth to come and the gold price is looking very strong. Plus, Calidus is eyeing a spin-off of its WA lithium assets. All this prompts Reeves to describe Calidus as the most under-valued gold stock on the ASX. ---- Produced by Resource Media ---- The Hole Truth is a product of Read Corporate.

Malcolm Norris - Sunstone Metals (ASX:STM)
Sunstone Metals MD Malcolm Norris and his team are already credited with two world-class copper-gold discoveries. And now they are working to complete the hat-trick. In this episode of The Hole Truth, Norris talks about their latest find, which is a multi-million-ounce gold resource in the south of Ecuador, and why they think they are on the cusp of another big discovery in northern Ecuador. Norris says he believes the company is seriously under-valued by the market - but thinks some drilling results expected over the next couple of weeks could change that. He is one of Australia's most highly-regarded geologists, but success certainly hasn't gone to his head, as you will hear in this chat.    ---- Produced by Resource Media ---- The Hole Truth is a product of Read Corporate.
