The new king of The Ring of Fire? Robert Cudney’s big bet

Juno Corp (to be renamed Juno International) is launching the largest Ring of Fire drill program in over a decade, allocating roughly $20 million ($10M each) to its Big Thunder gold and Vespa critical‑minerals districts. The company holds ~29,956 claims (~5,796 km², ~50% of the camp) and plans 100 drill holes (~28,000m) targeting high‑grade gold, titanium, vanadium, scandium, gallium, iron and rare earths. Early results include very high‑grade intercepts (Pluto: 78.9 g/t Au over 3.9m) and broad rare‑earth intervals; a maiden Vespa resource is targeted for H2 2026 (250M–1B tonnes potential). The story highlights potential to materially expand North American supply of critical minerals, which could tighten markets and support prices for gold and specialty metals, while raising Juno’s profile with a planned name change to attract retail investors. Overall market impact is supportive for gold and other critical‑minerals sentiment and for investor interest in Juno.
