Interview with Chris Frostad, President & CEO of Purepoint UraniumPrevious interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/purepoint-uranium-tsxvptu-high-grade-uranium-found-with-isoenergy-jv-7520Recording date: 8th October 2025Purepoint Uranium Group has emerged as a differentiated uranium exploration company through its combination of a significant new discovery in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin and a self-sustaining business model built on strategic partnerships with major industry players. The company's recent progress demonstrates how junior explorers can advance high-quality projects while maintaining capital efficiency and minimizing shareholder dilution.The Dorado discovery represents the company's most significant value driver. Four drill holes have intersected high-grade uranium mineralization in a region where CEO Chris Frostad notes that "98% of the drill holes that get poked up there in Saskatchewan come back with this much uranium." This statistically unusual success rate, combined with the discovery's location on trend with IsoEnergy's Hurricane deposit, suggests potential for district-scale mineralization. Management has committed to deploying substantially more capital on Dorado during the upcoming winter drilling season than was spent across all company projects in the previous year, signaling clear prioritization of this highest-conviction target.Purepoint's partnership structure provides unusual financial sustainability for a junior exploration company. The company operates six joint ventures with Cameco, Orano, IsoEnergy, and Foran Mining across 10 Saskatchewan projects. As exploration operator, Purepoint earns management fees that cover substantially all annual overhead expenses while receiving partners' capital monthly for drilling programs rather than carrying full exploration costs. This structure allows the company to advance multiple projects without burning through capital simply to maintain operations.The 50-50 partnership with IsoEnergy on Dorado and surrounding properties covering 100,000 hectares demonstrates sophisticated deal-making that protects Purepoint's interests through the entire project lifecycle. The agreement establishes Purepoint as exploration operator through resource definition, at which point IsoEnergy would assume development responsibilities. Detailed provisions address financing decisions, security arrangements, and mechanisms to protect both parties' interests, recognizing that partners may have different objectives and timeframes.Capital efficiency remains a key competitive advantage. Purepoint's recent $6 million financing was executed entirely through charity flow-through shares at premiums exceeding 50% above market price, with IsoEnergy contributing $1 million. This financing mechanism—which enables non-Canadian investor participation and generates substantially higher premiums than traditional flow-through shares—significantly reduces shareholder dilution compared to conventional equity raises. The company also has approximately $5 million in unexercised warrants currently in the money, providing additional capital optionality.The upcoming winter drilling season beginning in January represents a critical catalyst period. Systematic exploration of Dorado will provide real-time feedback allowing continuous vectoring toward mineralization zones, while partner budget meetings over the coming months will define additional work programs across Hook Lake and other joint venture projects. The company's measured approach to drilling—maximizing information value from each hole rather than racing to complete large programs—reflects management's commitment to capital discipline.For investors seeking exposure to uranium exploration in a tier-one jurisdiction, Purepoint offers a genuine discovery in its early stages, operational leverage through major partnerships, and a business model that provides financial sustainability while maintaining significant equity upside. The systematic winter drilling program will determine whether Dorado represents a district-scale opportunity or a more limited occurrence, with results expected to flow throughout the season as exploration progresses.View Purepoint Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/purepoint-uranium-group-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with  Sam Lee, CEO of Northisle Copper & GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/northisle-copper-gold-tsxvncx-district-scale-is-the-prize-8032Recording date: 6th October 2025Northisle Copper & Gold is advancing one of British Columbia's most significant undeveloped copper-gold assets at a pivotal moment when political alignment, commodity fundamentals, and strategic capital partnerships have converged to enable accelerated development. The company controls a major porphyry project hosting over 7 million ounces of gold and 3.5 billion pounds of copper on Vancouver Island.Since CEO Sam Lee joined in October 2020, the company has systematically addressed the critical questions defining success in large-scale porphyry development. Exploration success at Northwest Expo and West Goodspeed delivered higher-grade zones that dramatically reduced capital intensity while improving project economics, culminating in what Lee characterizes as "one of the strongest PEAs I've seen in the market in the last decade."The company's recent $40 million financing marked a transformational milestone, bringing Wheaton Precious Metals as cornerstone investor alongside nine institutions. This partnership establishes a pathway to exceptionally low-cost capital, with streaming arrangements expected to provide financing at 0-4% cost when finalized. Combined with potential Asian strategic partnerships offering 2% export credit financing, Northisle expects blended capital costs of 2-3% for project development.A distinctive feature of Northisle's project is its substantial gold component, which serves as a financial bridge to larger copper production. "We have a very high margin gold project upfront in phase one that allows us to bridge into a big capital intensive copper project," Lee explained. This structure provides execution advantages over copper-only projects while reducing financing risk.The company has assembled a world-class technical team including Kevin O'Kane as Chief Operating Officer, bringing 37 years of BHP experience, and Dr. Pablo Mejia as VP Exploration from Ero Copper. Lee emphasizes unprecedented political alignment across First Nations, provincial, and federal governments as creating an optimal window for accelerated permitting. "In my 30 years of being in the mining industry, I've never seen such political alignment for natural resource development projects like ours," he stated.With favorable copper market dynamics including negative treatment charges and institutional backing secured, Northisle is positioned to advance rapidly toward production while maintaining district-scale expansion potential across a 30-year mining horizon.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/northisle-copper-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This week we take the patented Seattle Nice deep dive into Bruce Harrell's proposed nearly $9 billion budget, examining the Seattle mayor's priorities as he's fighting for his political life in what's turned into a tough election year for him.  David points out how various local media outlets, from KIRO to our own Erica C. Barnett's Publicola framed the budget news through their own lenses. The discussion also highlights the budget's strategic rollout, with Sandeep noting the mayor's reliance on a "slick, produced, 15-minute video" in lieu of a traditional speech.We then get into criticism of the budget, which assumes both sales and B&O tax increases and prioritizes spending on new police hires and, in the face of Trump threats, immigrant and refugee assistance and other supports. Erica criticizes the mayor for boosting spending for what will be ongoing programs with one time dollars, saying he is avoiding tough choices and leaving substantial  projected out-year deficits. She argues he should have worked harder to cut the police budget in particular. Sandeep echoes Erica's concerns about a lack of fiscal discipline but says his concern extends to potential wasteful spending in all city departments and not just the cops. He also argues the mayor missed a political opportunity by not proposing more bold, innovative ideas. We also get into the King County Council's recent ban on rent-setting software like RealPage to try and prevent algorithmic price fixing, which follows on the heels of a similar City ban. Finally, the podcast concludes with some back and forth about political endorsements, and specifically the “odd timing” of Pete Buttigieg's backing of Mayor Harrell.  Our editor is Quinn Waller.Send us a text!

House Democrats are renewing their efforts to reform gun ownership laws in Pennsylvania amid several recent high-profile gun deaths — including conservative activist Charlie Kirk and three Northern York County Regional police officers killed by a gunman. Last Friday, as the Trump administration demanded Pennsylvania share personal data about food-stamp recipients, a federal court ruled other states don’t have to do so. The 2026 governor’s race is heating up, as Republicans look to deny incumbent Josh Shapiro another term as Pennsylvania’s chief executive. State Treasurer Stacy Garrity now has the formal backing of the state Republican Party as expected. State Police are investigating the discovery of white supremacist pamphlets distributed in parts of Franklin County. The funeral service for three York County detectives killed in the line of duty last week will be held Thursday. President Trump says he's using his so-called "golden share" power to intervene and reverse a decision at U.S. Steel.

Content warning: discussion of political violence, grief, and strong partisan commentary. In this wide-ranging Friday episode, the host reflects on the heavy toll of Charlie Kirk's assassination — from the grief of his widow stepping into a public role while raising children, to the surge in church attendance across denominations as people seek faith in the aftermath. The show then pivots to sharp political analysis: the Netherlands designating Antifa a terrorist group, three alleged left-wing attackers appearing in court simultaneously, and Mike Pence's controversial “both sides” remarks — framed by the host as a betrayal of the MAGA movement and a gift to the liberal media. The episode closes on a very different note: celebrating Greenville's Law Enforcement Appreciation Day with guest Joey Hudson, highlighting community support, donated gifts, and the everyday risks officers face. A mix of raw emotion, fiery politics, and gratitude for those in uniform.

Jo Lum is a Sydney-based triathlete and busy mum who has been a regular on the triathlon scene in Sydney for years.Jo and her friend Katie were originally training for Ironman Australia in 2020.That race was postponed 4 times - twice in 2020 and then twice in 2021 - before it was eventually cancelled.So Jo and Katie decided not to let their fitness go to waste and designed and completed a DIY Ironman distance event in May 2021.They swam 3.8km in a pool, then hopped on their bikes and rode 180km primarily along bike paths, before heading to their respective homes to finish their ‘race' by running 42km around their neighbourhoods.There were even race bibs, finisher's t-shirts and (to their surprise) finisher's medals!I've shared this story multiple times over the last few months because it's a powerful example of two important things: focusing on what you can control and asking for help (and being willing to accept it when offered). 

In this episode, I sit down with Megan Lightcap, partner at Slow Ventures, which recently raised its $64 million creator fund to back creator-led businesses. While both Megan and I operate at the intersection of venture capital and the creator economy, we approach it from very different angles, which made for a dynamic and thought-provoking conversation. We unpack the structure of Slow Ventures, explore what ownership looks like in the digitally native age, and discuss the evolving relationship between creators and capital.

At EUVC Summit 2025, Reece Chowdhry from Concept Ventures made a bold claim:Pre-seed isn't just a quirky corner of venture. It's the layer that will define the future of European tech.“Pre-everything. Backing crazy people. No product. No traction. Just vision.”And if that makes your IC uncomfortable? Good.Reece laid it out clearly:No productOften no teamUp to €3M raisesEntry valuations where true upside is unlockedThis is not a place for 60-page memos. It's a place for conviction, operating instincts, and guts.“If you're running a market-sizing exercise at pre-seed, you've already missed the point.”With a wink, Reece shared some hard truths:“Sorry to our French and German friends—but the UK is trouncing you.”From unicorn creation to capital deployed to founder density, London continues to pull ahead.Backed by data (and a few cheeky slides), he reinforced that high-density talent hubs are gravity wells—and London's orbit is strong.Reece didn't sugarcoat it:“Pre-seed is also about luck. Let's just say it.”And that's why portfolio construction matters.→ Too many GPs still run over-concentrated portfolios at pre-seed.→ The layer needs larger portfolios, faster deployment, and more acceptance of variance.“You want your winners to carry the fund? You better give yourself enough shots.”One of the most striking trends?“Founders can now go straight from pre-seed to Series A.”Why?AI tools let solo operators do more with lessMVPs are faster, GTMs are leanerSeed rounds are getting compressed—and sometimes skipped entirelyThis means pre-seed is becoming a more critical entry point than ever, and if Europe wants to compete, we need more risk-on LPs and ICs willing to lean into the earliest bets.“If you're in an IC meeting with a 60-page memo for a pre-seed deal, please… just remember this talk.”Pre-seed is where the crazy ideas live. It's where the upside is wild. It's where founders take real swings—and where GPs must be brave enough to back them.“We need more European GPs to take more risk, earlier.”Thank you Reece for the reminder: you don't de-risk the future by waiting—you do it by backing the people building it.No product?

Trump was losing in the courts. He's not anymore.In the early months of the administration, the courts were proving a powerful check on President Trump, blocking many of his boldest actions. But those were the lower courts. In the past few months, the Supreme Court has weighed in, and it has handed Trump win after win after win.So what do these decisions enable the president to do? And why is the Supreme Court giving Trump what he wants?To pull all this apart, I'm joined by Kate Shaw.

Are you a maker or a taker?  We've made nothing but the good stuff on this episode: automaker OEs forgetting who owns the cars they sold (you) and taking away the performance over the phone (and forgetting the rules of Right-To-Repair as outlined by champs like Steve Wozniak and the federal case against John Deere).  Speaking of tractors, we've got a study of the big-head elitist media whackos at NPR who are either pretending they just discovered tractor pulling or they're actually that clueless.  There's also the new measurement of horse-pounds (when HP and FT-LBs ain't enough), Camping World's big American flags and even bigger FU to every city that complains about 'em, some thoughts about the hazards of folks who break into your country being allowed to drive 40,000lb not-very-guided cruise missiles, and some great video of a small Philippines Coast Guard cruiser outsmarting two Chinese warships into ramming each other. Backing it all up - literally and metaphorically - is The Prodigy and a proper Excellent Weirdo RIP for classic English acting oddball Terrence Stamp (if you haven't seen him in "The Limey", you're missing out - dude could act, and that movie's got fire and some high-Q ass-kicking).
