Yukon Metals CEO Jim Coates joins Mining Stock Daily to discuss new drone magnetic results from the AZ Project, where two structural trends converge east of recent drilling and help define a tighter porphyry target for potential fall drilling. Coates also reviews pending assays and geophysical work at Birch, where the company completed roughly three thousand metres of drilling this summer. The conversation also covers Yukon's booming exploration activity, early-stage work at the Tummel tungsten trend and Carter Gulch, and Yukon Metals' broader search for large copper-gold porphyry systems.

In the years following the American Revolution, when the country was still uncertain of itself and the frontier was still a place of violence, two brothers carved out a story of fear across the wilderness. When their story was first published in 1824, many people thought it was so terrible it simply had to be fiction, and whilst the facts may have been a little blurred, it sadly had much more truth to it than people wanted to accept. Behind the legend lay a grim and disturbing story of violence and murder and even a twinge of mystery, that is still as troubling today as it ever was.SOURCES Grandjean, Katherine (2026) Kingdom of Devils. Random House, NY, USA.

Dan Coates, CEO and co-founder of YPulse, joins Gabriella Mirabelli to explain why the youth research firm built a direct connector into Claude and other similar gen AI systems. Coates describes YPulse's move toward what he calls decision support infrastructure: survey data atomized down to the individual respondent, queryable alongside a client's own internal data. The reports and question design that built the business haven't gone away; the connector is a new path into that same research. The conversation covers data provenance, the EU AI Act's consent requirements, and why Coates believes AI models are becoming a distribution channel for research vendors.

Pags reacts to President Trump's late-night Truth Social post questioning America's support for South Korea—and this time, Pags has a real problem with what the president is saying. South Korea is an important U.S. ally, so what exactly is Trump trying to accomplish? Pags brings you Trump's own explanation before another jaw-dropping moment: the president floats the idea of making the Strait of Hormuz U.S. territory. Could that even happen? Then Trump gets into a fiery back-and-forth with a CNN reporter and weighs in on the growing controversy surrounding Flock surveillance cameras. Finally, former Deputy National Security Adviser Victoria Coates joins the program to cut through the noise on the biggest foreign-policy questions of the moment. Why is Trump suddenly talking this way about South Korea? Is America actually defeating Iran—economically, militarily, or both? And after weeks of conflicting claims, is the Strait of Hormuz OPEN or CLOSED? Coates gives Pags a definitive answer and reveals where the Iran conflict goes from here.

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the latest Players Championship double header.   The boys kick off the show with a look back at last week's ProTour action in Hildesheim, which saw Henry Coates become just the fifth non tour-card holder to win a Players Championship title, and Sebastian Bialecki double his own ProTour title tally to take a big step towards a debut at the World Grand Prix later this season.   Henry Coates (21:40) calls in to reflect on a memorable week in Germany last week, winning his first PDC senior title at Players Championship 25. The 20-year-old looks back on his career so far, from playing in his local pub league at eight years old to captaining an England team that included Luke Littler to JDC World Cup glory in Gibraltar. Henry chats about his experiences as a top up player on the ProTour over the last 12 months, his eye-catching run to a semi-final earlier this summer, and then his breakthrough run in Hildesheim last week and becoming the youngest non tour-card holder to win a Players Championship in the tour card era.   Alex and Burton continue their recap of last week's action in Germany with a look back at the latest five event block of Development Tour events, picking out the players who caught their eye over the weekend.   Derek Coulson (46:22) joins the show to look back on a landmark victory in Champions Week at the MODUS Super Series. The Welshman reflects on a dramatic finals night at the cathedral of darts, which included a nine-dart shootout, and going on to beat Ashley Coleman in the final to add his name to the Champions Week roll of honour. Derek also chats about his recent appearances as a top up player on the ProTour, being in the hunt for a PDC tour card and PDC World Darts Championship debut via the Challenge Tour rankings, and explains why he switched to the Condor 120 three-fin flights and it being a big part of his success so far in 2026.   The boys wrap up the show by discussing the recent confirmation from the PDC chief executive Matt Porter on this show that the PDC will be introducing a new major ranking event on the calendar in the first half of 2027.   *** Get your own Alex Moss replica shirt (as worn by our co-host at the Las Vegas Open 2026) from DJD here!

Gordon Chang and Victoria Coates continue: China benefits from discounted Iranian oil but views the regime's economic instability as a "bad debt." Simultaneously, Saudi Arabia is deepening its partnership with the U.S. through a landmark nuclear cooperation deal. Iraq has also signaled a shift toward Washington, signing $60 billion in energy deals with American companies like Chevron. While Russia seeks to sell extra capacity to Asia, Ukrainian strikes on refineries may hinder Putin's ability to remain a reliable energy supplier. (4)1945 TOKYO STATION

Gordon Chang and Victoria Coates report that Iran has activated the Houthis to attack the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a critical choke point for Saudi Arabian oil exports. This escalation has pushed oil prices past $95 as the Houthis use Iranian-supplied missiles and drones to harass shipping. While the House of Saud is targeted, internal frictions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE complicate a unified regional response. The conflict represents a major humanitarian and economic disaster for global commerce. (3)1944 TOKYO STATION

In 2016, acclaimed Black American author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates entered the field of comic books with "Black Panther #1." It met with both fanfare and critique. In a new book, Howard Rambsy II argues that Coates' take on the superhero story raised the profile and understanding of comics as an art form and affected opportunity for other Black writers. Rambsy, a literature professor at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, also talks about the ways Coates' work illuminated the challenges of "attaining" representation in the comic book field.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-10-26.Greg Scarlatoiu analyzes Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang, noting that Kim Jong-un now views himself as a strategic equal to Xi and Putin. Despite sanctions, North Korea's economy shows a facade of growth fueled by billions made exporting artillery and special forces to Russia. Kim is also modernizing his security apparatus into a structure similar to Russia's FSB. (1)Professor Jim Holmes discusses the naval balance between the U.S. and China, suggesting the PLA Navy aims for six aircraft carriers to project power in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. While China has made strides in naval aviation without the heavy losses the U.S. historically endured, Holmes believes they still lag behind in technological sophistication and human tactical proficiency. (2)Victoria Coates highlights Taiwan's indispensable role in the global AI revolution through TSMC's high-end chip production, which the U.S. and China currently cannot replicate. She emphasizes that Taiwan's engineering "super workers" are a state secret. Coates also discusses the political friction in Washington regarding arms sales and the need for Taiwan to increase its own defense spending. (3)Victoria Coates addresses the Pentagon's decision to list major Chinese companies like BYD and Alibaba as security risks due to their military ties. She argues for clear country-of-origin labeling on products to inform American consumers. Furthermore, Coates criticizes the Biden administration for prioritizing climate goals over addressing China's use of forced labor in the solar panel supply chain. (4)Natalie Ecanow details Qatar's massive $400 billion investment footprint in the United States, including high-profile real estate like New York's Park Lane Hotel and significant orders for Boeing aircraft. She argues these investments are not merely financial but serve to buy long-term political influence and goodwill with American policymakers, regardless of party affiliation, by embedding Qatari wealth into the U.S. economy. (5)Natalie Ecanow explains that Qatari wealth is controlled by the Al-Thani autocracy, whose values often conflict with U.S. interests, such as their support for Hamas and the Taliban. She highlights the lack of transparency in Qatarifunding, citing a lawsuit that revealed nearly half a billion dollars in undisclosed money sent to Texas A&M University, and calls for stricter U.S. disclosure laws. (6)Joel Kotkin examines the definition of fascism, arguing that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is not a fascist because she respects democratic norms. He identifies China's government-led economy as the closest modern parallel to historical fascism. Kotkin also warns of "techno-fascism," where a small group of global tech companies exert unprecedented control over public opinion and information through surveillance tools. (7)Joel Kotkin disputes the label of "fascist" for the MAGA movement, noting it lacks the youth-driven, paramilitary organization characteristic of movements led by Mussolini or Hitler. He describes MAGA as a chaotic coalition of various interest groups held together by Donald Trump's personality. Kotkin emphasizes that using the term as a political slur ruins the possibility of necessary civil discourse. (8)Michael Bernstam discusses a looming glut of liquefied natural gas driven by record U.S. shale production, which is stabilizing energy prices in Europe. Regarding Russia, he explains that while crude exports continue, Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries have created a domestic manufacturing crisis, leading to fuel shortages for Russian agriculture and industry that are difficult to repair under sanctions. (9)Michael Bernstam reveals that China has significantly reduced its oil imports by nearly half by drawing on massive strategic reserves of 1.4 billion barrels and increasing electric vehicle adoption. Simultaneously, the U.S. has reached record domestic oil production of nearly 14 million barrels per day. These factors combined help lower global oil prices despite declining inventories in other OECD countries. (10)Tal Fortgang explores Justice Scalia's legal philosophy through a biography by James Rosen, focusing on Scalia's dissent in Lee v. Weisman regarding religious benedictions at public graduations. Fortgang explains how Scaliapopularized "originalism" and "textualism," arguing that the Constitution should be interpreted based on the original public meaning of the text rather than through subjective "moral readings" by judges. (11)Tal Fortgang discusses the "Scalian revolution" that shifted the Supreme Court toward judicial restraint. He notes that while Scalia faced a hostile press and "nasty" internal criticism from colleagues like Harry Blackmun, his ideas eventually prevailed. Fortgang also observes that the modern partisan venom in confirmation hearings began during Scalia's era with the contentious treatment of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. (12)Simon Constable reports from France on falling global commodity prices for food and energy due to supply meeting demand. He then shifts to the immigration crisis in Britain, where violent incidents in Belfast and Southampton have fueled public outrage. Constable attributes the unrest to a failure of both major parties to manage unfettered immigration and the lack of cultural integration. (13)Simon Constable discusses the declining popularity of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the potential rise of challengers like Andy Burnham. He highlights a dramatic shift in British public opinion, with polling by Lord Ashcroftshowing that a vast majority of Labour, Liberal Democrat, and Green voters—and even a third of Conservatives—now favor rejoining the European Union after a decade of Brexit. (14)Bob Zimmerman tracks the transition to commercial space, noting that private companies like Vast are leading the race to build stations to replace the aging ISS. He discusses Amazon's struggle to launch its satellite constellation due to rocket delays, contrasted with SpaceX's efficiency. Zimmerman also reports on a milestone for SpaceX, as a single Falcon 9 booster successfully completed a record 35th flight. (15)Bob Zimmerman highlights discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope, including a black hole 6 billion times the mass of the sun located 10 billion light-years away. He also describes a "flickering" quasar from the early universe that challenges current Big Bang theories. Finally, Zimmerman provides an update on the Curiosity rover as it travels through the "Grand" valley on its ascent of Mars.
