From Warrants to Wealth: Mario Vetro’s Axcap Digs Deep for Gold

“This article was disseminated on behalf of Axcap Ventures Inc.”

Gold’s soaring past $3,400 an ounce, and Mario Vetro, the swashbuckling co-founder of K92 Mining and maestro behind Axcap Ventures (OTC: GARLF | CSE: AXCP), is proving once again why he’s the talk of the junior mining town. Just weeks after we spotlighted his bold vision to drill holes in junior mining’s broken model, Vetro’s back with a financing coup that’s got investors buzzing. With a $0.20 financing round paired with full five-year warrants at $0.20, valued at a tidy $0.0664 each, Axcap’s latest move is nothing short of a masterclass in capital markets swagger. Here’s why this “wildly successful” round is setting the stage for a seismic re-rating.

A Financing Round That Hits the Mother Lode

Axcap’s recent $0.20 financing round, paired with five-year warrants exercisable at $0.20, is turning heads. Vetro, crunching numbers with the Black-Scholes model at 30% volatility, values these warrants at about $0.0664 each. That’s not just a math flex—it signals big upside potential. With the stock holding at $0.20, Vetro calls this financing “wildly successful” for its clever structure.

Why the excitement? The warrants, with their five-year runway, give investors a long leash to capitalize on Axcap’s growth, particularly as the company drills deeper into its flagship Converse Deposit. This isn’t just about raising cash—it’s about fueling a strategy that’s all about liquidity, financing, and, as Vetro famously quips, “DRILL, BABY.”

Converse: The Nevada Gold Giant Gearing Up

At the heart of Axcap’s story is its investment in the Converse Deposit, a 5.57-million-ounce (M&I) gold juggernaut in Nevada’s Battle Mountain–Eureka Trend, grading 0.53 g/t Au. Nestled between heavyweights like I-80GoldCorp’s Lone Tree Complex ($380M market cap) and SSR Mining’s Marigold Mine ($2.8B market cap). And Vetro’s not sitting idle—he’s got a fully funded 5,000-meter drill program underway, chasing high-grade zones that could echo Barrick’s legendary Goldstrike.

“The thesis is simple,” Vetro says with a grin. “We’re testing for Goldstrike-style mineralization at depth. No refractory issues, no metallurgy headaches, no permitting roadblocks—just a massive deposit ready to shine.” Axcap Ventures Inc. is cashed up and, with its prospectus cleared in late April, is well-positioned to advance its marketing efforts to showcase the potential of the Converse Gold Project to a global audience.

Black-Scholes: The Math That Backs the Moxie

Vetro’s not just banking on gut instinct; he’s got the Black-Scholes model in his corner. For those who skipped finance class, Black-Scholes is the gold standard (pun intended) for valuing options and warrants. By plugging in a 30% volatility—a conservative estimate for a junior miner like Axcap—Vetro’s team calculates each warrant’s worth at $0.0664. That’s a hefty chunk of value baked into a financing round that’s already turning heads.

This isn’t just about fancy formulas, though. The $0.20 warrants, paired with a stock price holding steady at $0.20, signals confidence in Axcap’s trajectory. It’s a deal that could scream opportunity, giving investors a chance to ride the wave as Axcap drills for glory and pushes for a valuation re-rating. As Vetro puts it, “The value here is undeniable. We’re a prime candidate for a significant re-rating.”

Why Axcap’s Valuation Is Poised to Pop

Let’s crunch some numbers. Canaccord’s April 22 report sets the average developer P/NAV multiple at 0.41x. Converse’s previous owner, Waterton, estimated its NPV at $1.1 billion. Assuming a $500 million build cost (with $300 million in equity), the NAV lands around $800 million. At a 0.41x multiple, that implies a $328 million valuation for Axcap. Even at a ultra-conservative 0.12x P/NAV multiple—like Newcore Gold’s for its 1.72M-ounce project in Africa—Converse’s 5.99M ounces in Nevada still commands a $96M valuation. With Axcap trading near the bottom of its peer group, the upside potential is glaring.

And Vetro’s not just preaching—he’s buying. Significant insider purchases from Vetro and the Axcap team underscore their conviction. “I’m putting my money where my mouth is,” he says, and the market’s starting to listen.

The Maverick’s Playbook: Liquidity, Drilling, Value

Under Vetro’s playbook, Axcap Ventures is focused on a clear strategy: secure liquidity to fund exploration, advance drilling programs, and unlock the potential value of its assets. The recent special warrant offering, closed in December 2024 for gross proceeds of $15,828,700, has provided Axcap with the financial resources to execute its 5,000-meter drill program at the Converse Gold Project in Nevada and support additional corporate initiatives. A 1-for-2.4 share split, increasing outstanding shares to approximately 189 million, has further positioned the company for growth.

With a prospectus supplement filed in April 2025, Axcap is actively engaging investors to highlight the potential of its gold-focused portfolio, including the Converse Project. Recent sentiment on X reflects growing interest in Axcap’s assets, particularly Converse, which hosts significant gold resources.

The Bottom Line: Axcap’s Ready to Rock

Mario Vetro’s Axcap Ventures could be rewriting the junior mining playbook with a mix of audacity, strategy, and cold, hard math. The $0.20 financing round, with its Black-Scholes-backed warrants, is a masterstroke that’s got the market buzzing. With Converse’s massive scale, a cash-fueled drill program, and Vetro’s unrelenting drive, Axcap’s not just drilling holes—it’s blasting through junior mining’s problems.

As Vetro himself cautions, “These opinions are my own. Do your own due diligence.” But when a maverick like Vetro bets big, you’d be wise to pay attention.
