At a glance

What the record holds today. Every card names where it came from — a management representation is not an established fact, and the page never blurs the two.

What is in the ground
Over 300,000 tons of LCE lithium carbonate estimated in the ground
Management-stated Stephen Hanson Jul 2026
Grade
20 to 40 meter strong graded intercepts
Management-stated Stephen Hanson Nov 2025
What happens next
Drill Cimarron Gold project in fall 2026
Management-stated Stephen Hanson Jul 2026
The main open question
Management has not completed metallurgical work; it is deferred to post-phase one drilling, creating technical uncertainty on ore processing.

Our reading

How the stated figures have moved

The same figure, as management put it on the earliest and the latest recording we hold. A difference may be a genuine update, a different measure of the same thing (total against indicated), or a mis-heard number — both quotes are here, and both recordings are one click away.

Management view vs outside view

Management interviews are promotional by nature; the outside view is the counterweight. Both are quoted from the recordings, not added by us.

What management spends its time on

Counted from Surface Metals's own claims across 2 interviews — most-covered theme first.

What outside voices pick up on

No independent commentary on record yet — so far the page carries only the company's own voice.

Weighed from the statements on this page — management's pitch and the outside view. Not financial advice, and not our opinion of the company.

Management says the Cimarron gold project hosts high-grade mineralization at shallow depth with 20–40 metre strong graded intercepts, confirmed from historical drilling in the 80s and 90s, plus identified targets for expansion toward a million-ounce resource. The Clayton Valley lithium project adds 300,000 tons of LCE to the portfolio, with a PEA due within 12–24 months and permitting expected in 90–120 days once notice is submitted.

▼ Bear case

Management has not completed metallurgical work; it is deferred to post-phase one drilling, creating technical uncertainty on ore processing.

What it rests on
Evidence: 2 moments from 1 interview
Read the full case

Management has not completed metallurgical work; it is deferred to post-phase one drilling, creating technical uncertainty on ore processing. The 50,000-ounce non-43101 resource requires confirmation via new drilling. No independent voice has assessed the deposit or the company's execution risk, and the million-ounce target remains aspirational with no defined timeline.

◆ Watch next

Phase one drill results and technical press release within weeks.

Phase one drill results and technical press release within weeks. Early 2026 drilling campaign to confirm historical intercepts. PEA publication at Clayton Valley within 12–24 months. Cimarron drilling in fall 2026.

Each moment links to the exact point in the source recording. The cases are drawn from the transcripts, weighed as written — they are not a rating, a target or a recommendation.

Project 13 statements

The deposit 7

Key takeaway. Management describes the deposit as high-grade gold mineralization that is relatively shallow and open in multiple directions, with 20- to 40-meter strong graded intercepts (Nov 2025).

Read the full summary

The company also reports over 300,000 tons of LCE lithium carbonate estimated in the ground (Jul 2026), while noting a non-43-101 compliant resource of 50,000 ounces and a potential million-ounce target down the road (Nov 2025). The two sets of statements come from different dates and refer to different commodities at the same project.

What was actually said
deposit type
Gold mineralization, relatively shallow holes, very high grade
“They had some really interesting drill intercepts, relatively shallow holes, but very, very high grade gold.”

“We think there is potential to expand on on gold mineralization there. We've got some targets identified.”

Jurisdiction 4

Key takeaway. In interviews from November 2025 and July 2026, Surface Metals management has highlighted that the project is located in the United States, specifically in Nevada.

Read the full summary

The company notes that the project sits in the San Antonio Mountains within Nevada's central southwest region. These statements point to a US-based jurisdiction, though the two interviews do not always use identical geographic descriptions.

Technical risk 2

Key takeaway. Management acknowledges two key technical risks for the project.

Read the full summary

First, the company is relying on the assumption that high-grade intercepts from the 1980s and 1990s are confirmed and that a non-43-101 resource from that era is still present. Second, metallurgical work has not yet been completed; management says it plans to conduct that work after phase one drilling.

What was actually said
key assumption
high-grade intercepts from 80s and 90s confirmed; non-43101 resource still present
“Let's confirm these high-grade intercepts um that were found back in the 80s and 90s. Let's confirm this non43101 resource”
Stephen Hanson· 21 Nov 2025·
stated risk
metallurgical work not yet completed; plan met work post-phase one drilling
“We haven't... There there's there was a little bit of work that was done historically... our plan is to probably do that postphase one drilling”

Timeline 6

Key takeaway. Management at Surface Metals has outlined a series of milestones for its projects.

In a November 2025 update, the company said it expects a technical press release with a historical overview and analysis within the next couple weeks, and that a phase one drill program would begin in early 2026. Separately, in a July 2026 update, management stated a preliminary economic assessment at its Clayton Valley lithium project is due within 12 to 24 months, and that drilling at its Cimarron Gold project is planned for fall 2026. The company also noted that once a notice of intent is submitted, permitting should take 90 to 120 days.

How to read this page

What is here

Statements made by company representatives in the interviews listed above — each one carrying the words that made it, the date, and the recording. Nothing is added from any other source: if it was not said on a recording, it is not on this page. The one exception lives in the Claims & Checks record, which cites a metal price from our own feed so a stated cost can be set against it — and labels it as ours wherever it appears.

What is not verified

All of it. Resource figures, economics, timelines and promotional framing are management's own representations, checked against no filing and no technical report. Transcripts are automatic; we repair a clearly mis-heard word but never a number, a date, a unit or a speaker's hedge — “about 8.6 million ounces” keeps its “about”.

How to use it

Treat it as a map of what has been said, not as a source of fact. Where a figure matters to you, open the recording and read the company's filings. Nothing here is financial advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any security — these are interested parties discussing their own company.
