Buyer Group International (OTC: BYRG) has been gaining momentum, evidenced by its remarkable surge in daily trading volume and an impressive 80% rise from its November low of $0.0015 per share. Moreover, there are indications of significant forthcoming developments that could potentially propel the company to new heights, leading to increased optimism among numerous online investors. In today’s discussion, we’ll delve into several factors considered bullish indicators for this junior explorer. Understanding the realm of junior miners requires a specific set of insights. Let us provide you with additional context and background to enhance your comprehension in this domain.

Background:

BYRG is a junior exploration company aiming to revitalize the once-dormant “New Rambler District” nestled in Albany County, Wyoming. At the heart of this district lies the company’s flagship asset—the Shambhala project. The Shambhala project spans 1,466 acres and consists of 84 lode claims, granting BYRG exclusive rights to explore, mine, and extract minerals within this extensive property. The project is well known for the high grade intercepts of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) which appears to have been exclusively extracted from this district in the early 1900s.

What’s interesting is the strategic location of the New Rambler District, positioned in close proximity to the southern boundary of the Cheyenne Belt—a renowned Greenstone Belt within the Medicine Bow mountains.

Greenstone Belts have an intriguing association with a diverse range of valuable minerals and precious metals, rendering them alluring targets for exploration and mining ventures.

What adds further fascination is the presence of two complexes in the central and east-central regions of the Medicine Bow Mountains. These complexes resemble both the Bushveld Complex in South Africa and the Stillwater Complex in Montana, renowned for containing the world’s primary reserves of platinum, palladium, osmium, ruthenium, iridium, and rhodium. Not to mention noteworthy quantities of chromium, vanadium, and gold.

According to BYRG, the geological complex found in the Medicine Bow Mountains is one of only three known in the world. The other two complexes similar to this are highly valued and have been proven to be worth tens of billions. Given these remarkable geological similarities, there is a strong possibility that the Medicine Bow Mountains may contain valuable mineral resources, including critical and rare strategic metals, as well as highly significant precious metals.

History & Geology:

The New Rambler mine’s history dates back over 120 years, with exploration beginning in the year 1900. BYRG has shared all kinds of historic write-ups from the newspaper to prove this, it’s quite fascinating.

What matters is BYRG’s mineral deposit that’s formed near the surface. The company has shared an in depth geological explanation of it on their website, but we’ve simplified it for the average investor below.

Their deposit hosts a layer of rusty, porous material (limonite and jaspilite gossan) covering a zone about 75 feet thick that was changed by oxygen. In this zone, there were copper minerals in the form of carbonates and oxides. These included some copper that looked like tree branches (dendrites) and chunks of pure copper, along with a bit of copper mixed with sulfur.

As you went deeper, this zone changed into another mineral layer with covellite and chalcocite minerals that carry platinum. Further down, past 100 feet, there were different rocks with minerals like quartz, pyrite, and chalcopyrite. The combination of platinum and palladium found together in certain zones suggests that the valuable ore might have moved from a hidden source deep underground, not yet discovered, or even laterally.

The mine operated off and on between 1900 and 1918 but stopped when a fire destroyed the mine buildings. Active mining never resumed at this site, and as a result very little information on these mines exists in geological literature. Nearly all of the old mine buildings, mine maps, reports, and records were lost to the fire.

2022 & 2023 XRF Readings:

Before we get into the readings, it’s important to understand what XRF readings are. They’re commonly used across various fields including geology, mining, environmental science, archaeology, material science, and more for determining the elemental composition of substances without damaging the sample.

More specifically, an XRF reading displays the quantitative analysis of the elements detected in the sample. It provides information about the types and concentrations of elements present in the material being analyzed. This data is often presented as a spectrum or a list of elements along with their respective concentrations or percentages.

2022:

In the exploration season of 2022, BYRG acquired substantial XRF readings from their Shambhala #71 adit, outcroppings, and tailings. This uncovered noteworthy discoveries. Surprisingly, they identified multiple high-grade intercepts containing various metals such as cobalt, zinc, palladium, platinum, and rhodium. For specific examples of these readings, please review this link.

The results saw unexpected high grade Cobalt, a key critical mineral used in electric vehicles. On top of this, bonanza palladium intercepts, reaching an impressive 93 grams per ton, where 6 grams per ton is typically classified as “high grade”.

Additionally, bonanza platinum intercepts registered as high as 40 grams per ton, surpassing the 6 grams per ton threshold considered “high grade”.

Furthermore, multiple high-grade intercepts of rhodium, valued as the world’s most precious metal at $14,000 USD per ounce, were also identified.

2023:

The 2023 report delves into the Joker mine region, situated south of both the Shambalah and New District mines, encompassing key elements like the shaft house, cabins, mine, and tailings.

Once again, the XRF readings revealed notable high-grade intercepts across a diverse spectrum of metals. Impressively, these readings covered an array of elements including Aluminum (Al), Titanium (Ti), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Palladium (Pd), Vanadium (V), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Yttrium (Y), Manganese (Mn), Rhodium (Rh), Tantalum (Ta), and Niobium (Nb).

Highlighted in bold on the release were high-grade results for Aluminum, Titanium, Iron, Cobalt, Palladium, Vanadium, and Rhodium standing out among the listed metals.

Dave Bryant, CEO of Buyer Group, expressed satisfaction, stating, “We are extremely pleased to witness the consistent continuation of high-grade findings at the Joker Mine, particularly in proximity to Shambhala #71 adit last year.” He highlighted successful interceptions of high-grade rhodium, palladium, cobalt, and various other minerals crucial to the United States’ domestic supply chain across multiple tests. Bryant added, “Given the scale of Project Shambhala, the potential continuity of this mineralized zone at depth could yield a substantial supply of strategic metals.”

Latest Update:

BYRG released an update on October 19, 2023, regarding their progress in the exploration process. Here’s a brief summary of the announcement.

BYRG is excited to present a technical memorandum summarizing Hard Rock Consulting’s (HRC) surface sampling activities conducted during the summer of 2023 within’ the Shambhala claims area.

This memorandum also delivers a detailed and precise overview of the geological history and landscape of the region. Following the acquisition of assay results, HRC intends to continue expanding these efforts, aiming towards Phase 2 exploratory activities and drilling.

“As we approach the conclusion of Phase 1 within our sequential phases leading to the development of a mineral resource estimate for the Shambhala Project,” stated Dave Bryant, CEO, “HRC will initiate the compilation of the final Phase 1 report upon receipt of laboratory results from AAL. This comprehensive study will serve as the groundwork for our subsequent strategies, leading us directly into Phase 2, involving the preparation of an NI 43-101 technical report. This report will encompass the project’s conceptual geological model and offer recommendations for future exploration through drilling initiatives.”

Share Consolidation:

Announced this August, $BYRG effectively retrieved an additional 192,808,718 shares from Alpine/Scottsdale, transferring them back to the company’s transfer agent and out of problematic hands. Efforts are underway to reclaim a 33 million-share block, leaving just one block with the broker, Alpine. Post the retrieval of Alpine’s share blocks, the focus will shift towards addressing the persisting BNY Mellon block comprising over 2 billion shares.

For investors, this series of share retrievals represents a positive move toward streamlining and securing the company’s share structure. By removing shares from potentially disruptive hands and consolidating control, it fosters improved stability and better control over the company’s equity. This action suggests an initiative to fortify investor confidence by mitigating potential dilution risks and establishing a more solid foundation for future growth and shareholder value.

What Happened & What’s Next:

The excitement among online investors seems to revolve around the expectations for the 2023 exploration and assay results. For those not acquainted with the procedure, during drilling, exploration companies retrieve core samples that need testing in a laboratory to determine the metal concentrations in the ground. The duration for this process varies, contingent upon several factors, ranging from a few weeks to several months.

Very recently, BYRG shared on Twitter their invitation from American Assay Laboratories to visit their facilities. They mentioned that this is the same company responsible for recently completing their laboratory results, which are expected to be released very shortly.

Should there be further noteworthy findings and additional high-grade intercepts, this could serve as a significant catalyst, changing BYRG’s trajectory. We recommend investors maintain a close watch as this development will hold considerable importance.

Conclusion:

To clarify, investing in BYRG involves considerable risk, and extensive exploration efforts lie ahead. However, considering the underlying geological foundation, recent XRF readings, and the historical viability of an economical mine in the early 1900s, there’s potential for rapid and intriguing developments.

An important point to consider is that currently, only one company in the entire United States is extracting PGMs. Statistical evidence indicates production challenges, with the lowest levels seen since 2017 and notably low reserves at 900,000 oz. There’s a need for a player to step forward in this sector, could it be BYRG? There’s certainly a possibility, although more certainty can only come after a full NI 43-101 technical report, which BYRG aims to achieve by 2025-2026.
