Tokenization comes to Mining Finance | Jesse Knutson (Kitco Mining) – Jesse Knutson, Head of Operations at @BFXSecurities, joins Kitco Mining’s Paul Harris to discuss how tokenization could open a new capital route for #mining# and commodity companies after Bitfinex Securities facilitated a US$50 million raise for Alkemya Metacore. The raise, the largest to date on the Bitfinex Securities platform, will help Alkemya commercialize ultra-high-purity nickel wire for semiconductors, aerospace, defense and advanced manufacturing. Knutson says tokenization applies the technology behind Bitcoin and digital assets to capital markets, creating a system designed to be cheaper, faster and more transparent.

Bunker Hill Builds ‘Made in America’ Silver Platform | Richard Williams Richard Williams, Executive Chairman of @bnkrhillmining, joins Kitco Mining’s Paul Harris to discuss Bunker Hill’s Silver47 takeover, a US$163 million all-share deal aimed at turning its Idaho mine restart into a broader “made in America” silver and critical minerals platform. > Watch the full interview at Kitco Mining Williams says the deal combines Bunker Hill’s mine, which is ramping toward commercial production by year-end, with Silver47’s assets in Alaska, New Mexico and Nevada. The combined company, to be renamed Bunker Hill Silver, will hold four U.S. silver projects with about 390 million ounces of silver equivalent resources. “Opportunity doesn’t wait for anybody,” Williams said. Williams also explains how the Cate-8 discovery and planned second portal could lift grade, increase throughput to 2,500 tons per day and support stronger 2027 guidance. He says future mine cash flow could fund exploration at Red Mountain, Mogollon and Tonopah while limiting repeated equity raises. Williams also discusses U.S. Ex-Im Bank support, Idaho’s Silver Valley, Teck’s Trail smelter, North American trade risk, near-term liquidity, the developer-to-producer transition, and why fixing the silver loan is the “catalyst of all catalysts.” Recorded August 26, 2026.
