Podcasts about Copper

In this week's long-form, Rick Rule discusses the inherent risks of mining, particularly focusing on the Kamoa-Kakula complex and its operational challenges recently. He emphasizes the importance of understanding market perceptions and individual risk tolerance when investing in mining stocks. The discussion also touches on the potential tightening of the copper market due to supply issues and the impact of economic policies on resource investments. Additionally, Rule shares insights on inflation, deflation, and the dynamics of the gold market, suggesting that we may be in the early stages of a bull market for precious metals. He discusses the dynamics of the precious metals market, focusing on the movement of stocks, mergers and acquisitions in gold mining, and the evolving U.S. mining policy. He emphasizes the importance of understanding market trends and the potential for exploration opportunities in the coming years. Additionally, he highlights the upcoming investment symposium and its significance for investors in the mining sector.Register for the Rule Symposium HEREThis episode of Mining Stock Daily is brought to you by... Vizsla Silver is focused on becoming one of the world's largest single-asset silver producers through the exploration and development of the 100% owned Panuco-Copala silver-gold district in Sinaloa, Mexico.

7 million children have been diagnosed with ADHD, with over half of those children taking prescription medications.  But Dr. Prather says that the Structure-Function approach gets to the actual root cause of the symptoms instead of just masking the symptoms with prescriptions.  In this episode, we talk about:—How ADHD is caused by a neurotransmitter abnormality that's going on, where the brain does not work as it should.—Why Dr. Prather believes there is an actual increase in ADHD, not just more cases due to heightened awareness. —The diagnostics Dr. Prather recommends to get to the root cause of ADHD symptoms, including a Hair Analysis and a G.I. Stool Kit.  And the Neurotransmitter and Neural Zoomer Tests that reveal exactly what is going on in the brain and how to correct it.—The role of parasites in causing mental health issues.  And the amazing story of how Dr. Prather helped a boy go from being recommended for Special Education class to being accepted into a Gifted program after his parasites were cleared up. —How boys are more likely to be affected by Heavy Metal Toxicities, which are well-known to change the brain chemistry.  And how girls are more likely to have Copper toxicities and Iron deficiencies that will result in changes in personality and academic performance.—Why the diet is a huge factor in ADHD and the dietary recommendations for the best results.—The list of Vitamins, Minerals, Natural Supplements and Homeopathics that improve focus and attention.  And how Chiropractic and Acupuncture are important treatments that "make an immediate, quick, and long-term change in a child's performance".—The well-known evidence for how taking ADHD medication as children can lead to drug addiction when they become adults.  And why researchers said that ADHD drugs were more for the benefit of parents and teachers, not the children.—The dangerous side-effects of ADHD medications, including:  weight loss, loss of appetite, stunted growth, difficulty sleeping, drowsiness, anxiety, abdominal problems, fatigue, heart problems, hypertension, skin issues, involuntary tics, and psychosis. —Plus, learn how you can get 20% off our Neurotransmitter and Neural Zoomer Test that measures brain chemicals and imbalances by attending our upcoming free educational seminar with Dr. Prather this Wednesday, May 28th at 6:30 p.m.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Tony Greer, trader, editor of The Morning Navigator , and co-founder of the MacroDirt podcast, to discuss the current state of global markets. The conversation begins with an overview of the chaotic economic landscape, including regime change dynamics, inflationary pressures, and market volatility across sectors like bonds, gold, oil, and Bitcoin. Tony highlights the breakdown of traditional market correlations, making it difficult to predict trends. He emphasizes gold as a key store of value, noting central bank buying but expressing caution about its current highs and potential vulnerabilities if buyers step back. Gold miners, meanwhile, are performing well, though Tony questions whether larger investors will shift allocations into them. The discussion turns to bond markets, particularly the Japanese situation, where yields have spiked, raising concerns about central bank intervention. Tony suggests that yields may continue to rise before any potential stabilization. He also touches on inflation, noting that while official numbers appear tame, everyday costs remain high, and the impact of tariffs could linger. Oil prices are surprisingly stable despite geopolitical tensions, with plenty of supply keeping prices in check. Tony speculates that energy stocks could rebound if oil prices stabilize but remains cautious about their profitability at current levels. The interview also covers the broader economic picture, including the risks of a U.S. recession and the impact of Trump's trade policies. Tony expresses skepticism about chasing recession narratives, instead focusing on market trends and central bank behavior. He concludes by reiterating the importance of watching stores of value like gold and Bitcoin, given the ongoing themes of currency debasement and geopolitical uncertainty.

He quickly learned his career path would be vastly different. He says, "I would not be sitting in the same seat on the same trading desk managing the same risk for the same firm for over 30 years." We have clearly entered a new era in financial markets. He began in the treasury department of Sumitomo Bank on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center downtown Manhattan. Tony was an FX trading assistant while the Quantum Fund was breaking the Bank of England in 1992. In 1993 he joined Union Bank of Switzerland as an FX and commodities trader, spending half a year as a Vice President in their Zurich treasury department. Then returned to New York City early in 1995 to join J. Aron & Company, the privately held commodity trading arm of Goldman Sachs. He managed risk for the Goldman Sachs Commodities Index, in precious and base metals trading, and futures and options trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. He started his first venture in 2000 – Machine Trading which happened right before the tech bubble burst. That decision was his first excruciating life lesson in market timing. It turned out to be an extremely valuable learning experience. He believes there is a massive opportunity with both the unprecedented situation in global markets and in the way financial news is consum...

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION: You wouldn't think that a podcast about copper would have anything to do with freedom, but think again. In this episode, I sit down with Morley Robbins, who believes that the root cause of most modern illness is being actively hidden from both the public and the medical profession. For over 60 years, the essential role of copper in maintaining human physiology has been ignored or downplayed. The system wants us to believe the human body is broken by default, flawed genes, random failures, bad luck. But the truth, as Morley explains, often lies in copper deficiency, nutritional imbalance, heavy metal toxicity, and environmental assault.See my substack for more information.I hope you enjoy this episode.Much love, as always.Doc MalikLinksRoot Cause Protocol https://therootcauseprotocol.com/ IMPORTANT INFORMATIONCONSULTATION SERVICEIn a world of rushed 7-minute consultations and endless referrals, I offer you something rare: time, context, and clear guidance.As your health advocate, I can help you:Understand your diagnosis and decode medical jargonDecide who to see: GP, specialist, osteopath, physio, accupuntcurist, homeopath etc?Break down treatment plans in plain, easy to understand non jargon EnglishPrepare for surgery, understand your risks, obtain true informed consent, and optimise yourself pre-op Recover from surgery, advise you how to heal faster and quicker and minimise post-op complicationsManage chronic illness with lifestyle, mindset, and dietary changesExplore holistic options that complement conventional careImplement lifestyle changes like fasting, stress reduction, or movementAsk better questions, and get real answersGet an unbiased second opinionReady to Take Control?If you're navigating a health concern, preparing for a big decision, or simply want to feel more confident in your path forward, I'd love to support you.Book here https://docmalik.com/consultations/ Because it's your body, your life, and your future.

In another compelling episode of The Hundred Year Pivot, Demetri and I are joined by Dr. Pippa Malmgren to unpack the profound challenges facing American society today. Drawing from her extensive experience in US and UK political spheres, Pippa explores the collapse of shared narratives amid political polarization, economic pressures, and an overwhelming flood of information that drives people into ideological silos. She highlights how this ‘narrative collapse,' fueled by repeated national traumas and algorithm-driven media, threatens public trust, rational discourse, and the very legitimacy of government. Pippa calls this moment a Copernican shift in American reality, emphasizing the urgent need for what she so beautifully describes as ‘heartware'- empathy, compassion, and courageous dialogue – to navigate these turbulent times. We also touch on the implications of recent UAP disclosures as symbols of institutional opacity and the limits of current scientific paradigms as Pippa offers a vital perspective on how we might rebuild understanding and resilience in an era defined by uncertainty and division.

From master planning to conceptual design and permitting, we are your trusted partner in creating exceptional experiences and places.WE BELIEVEThat human and ecological wellbeing forms the foundation for thriving communities.WE EXISTTo enrich people's lives through the power of outdoor recreation.If that doesn't mean anything to you, then this will:Why I interviewed himNature versus nurture: God throws together the recipe, we bake the casserole. A way to explain humans. Sure he's six foot nine, but his mom dropped him into the intensive knitting program at Montessori school 232, so he can't play basketball for s**t. Or identical twins, separated at birth. One grows up as Sir Rutherford Ignacious Beaumont XIV and invents time travel. The other grows up as Buford and is the number seven at Okey-Doke's Quick Oil Change & Cannabis Emporium. The guts matter a lot, but so does the food.This is true of ski areas as well. An earthquake here, a glacier there, maybe a volcanic eruption, and, presto: a non-flat part of the earth on which we may potentially ski. The rest is up to us.It helps if nature was thoughtful enough to add slopes of varying but consistent pitch, a suitable rise from top to bottom, a consistent supply of snow, a flat area at the base, and some sort of natural conduit through which to move people and vehicles. But none of that is strictly necessary. Us humans (nurture), can punch green trails across solid-black fall lines (Jackson Hole), bulldoze a bigger hill (Caberfae), create snow where the clouds decline to (Wintergreen, 2022-23), plant the resort base at the summit (Blue Knob), or send skiers by boat (Eaglecrest).Someone makes all that happen. In North America, that someone is often SE Group, or their competitor, Ecosign. SE Group helps ski areas evolve into even better ski areas. That means helping to plan terrain expansions, lift replacements, snowmaking upgrades, transit connections, parking enhancements, and whatever built environment is under the ski area's control. SE Group is often the machine behind those Forest Service ski area master development plans that I so often spotlight. For example, Vail Mountain:When I talk about Alta consolidating seven slow lifts into four fast lifts; or Little Switzerland carving their mini-kingdom into beginner, parkbrah, and racer domains; or Mount Bachelor boosting its power supply to run more efficiently, this is the sort of thing that SE plots out (I'm not certain if they were involved in any or all of those projects).Analyzing this deliberate crafting of a natural bump into a human playground is the core of what The Storm is. I love, skiing, sure, but specifically lift-served skiing. I'm sure it's great to commune with the raccoons or whatever it is you people do when you discuss “skinning” and “AT setups.” But nature left a few things out. Such as: ski patrol, evacuation sleds, avalanche control, toilet paper, water fountains, firepits, and a place to charge my phone. Oh and chairlifts. And directional signs with trail ratings. And a snack bar.Skiing is torn between competing and contradictory narratives: the misanthropic, which hates crowds and most skiers not deemed sufficiently hardcore; the naturalistic, which mistakes ski resorts with the bucolic experience that is only possible in the backcountry; the preservationist, with its museum-ish aspirations to glasswall the obsolete; the hyperactive, insisting on all fast lifts and groomed runs; the fatalists, who assume inevitable death-of-concept in a warming world.None of these quite gets it. Ski areas are centers of joy and memory and bonhomie and possibility. But they are also (mostly), businesses. They are also parks, designed to appeal to as many skiers as possible. They are centers of organized risk, softened to minimize catastrophic outcomes. They must enlist machine aid to complement natural snowfall and move skiers up those meddlesome but necessary hills. Ski areas are nature, softened and smoothed and labelled by their civilized stewards, until the land is not exactly a representation of either man or God, but a strange and wonderful hybrid of both.What we talked aboutOld-school Cottonwoods vibe; “the Ikon Pass has just changed the industry so dramatically”; how to become a mountain planner for a living; what the mountain-planning vocation looked like in the mid-1980s; the detachable lift arrives; how to consolidate lifts without sacrificing skier experience; when is a lift not OK?; a surface lift resurgence?; how sanctioned glades changed ski areas; the evolution of terrain parks away from mega-features; the importance of terrain parks to small ski areas; reworking trails to reduce skier collisions; the curse of the traverse; making Jackson more approachable; on terrain balance; how megapasses are redistributing skier visits; how to expand a ski area without making traffic worse; ski areas that could evolve into major destinations; and ski area as public park or piece of art.What I got wrong* I blanked on the name of the famous double chair at A-Basin. It is Pallavicini.* I called Crystal Mountain's two-seater served terrain “North Country or whatever” – it is actually called “Northway.”* I said that Deer Valley would become the fourth- or fifth-largest ski resort in the nation once its expansion was finished. It will become the sixth-largest, at 4,926 acres, when the next expansion phase opens for winter 2025-26, and will become the fourth-largest, at 5,726 acres, at full build out.* I estimated Kendall Mountain's current lift-served ski footprint at 200 vertical feet; it is 240 feet.Why now was a good time for this interviewWe have a tendency, particularly in outdoor circles, to lionize the natural and shame the human. Development policy in the United States leans heavily toward “don't,” even in areas already designated for intensive recreation. We mustn't, plea activists: expand the Palisades Tahoe base village; build a gondola up Little Cottonwood Canyon; expand ski terrain contiguous with already-existing ski terrain at Grand Targhee.I understand these impulses, but I believe they are misguided. Intensive but thoughtful, human-scaled development directly within and adjacent to already-disturbed lands is the best way to limit the larger-scale, long-term manmade footprint that chews up vast natural tracts. That is: build 1,000 beds in what is now a bleak parking lot at Palisades Tahoe, and you limit the need for homes to be carved out of surrounding forests, and for hundreds of cars to daytrip into the ski area. Done right, you even create a walkable community of the sort that America conspicuously lacks.To push back against, and gradually change, the Culture of No fueling America's mountain town livability crises, we need exhibits of these sorts of projects actually working. More Whistlers (built from scratch in the 1980s to balance tourism and community) and fewer Aspens (grandfathered into ski town status with a classic street and building grid, but compromised by profiteers before we knew any better). This is the sort of work SE is doing: how do we build a better interface between civilization and nature, so that the former complements, rather than spoils, the latter?All of which is a little tangential to this particular podcast conversation, which focuses mostly on the ski areas themselves. But America's ski centers, established largely in the middle of the last century, are aging with the towns around them. Just about everything, from lifts to lodges to roads to pipes, has reached replacement age. Replacement is a burden, but also an opportunity to create a better version of something. Our ski areas will not only have faster lifts and newer snowguns – they will have fewer lifts and fewer guns that carry more people and make more snow, just as our built footprint, thoughtfully designed, can provide more homes for more people on less space and deliver more skiers with fewer vehicles.In a way, this podcast is almost a canonical Storm conversation. It should, perhaps, have been episode one, as every conversation since has dealt with some version of this question: how do humans sculpt a little piece of nature into a snowy park that we visit for fun? That is not an easy or obvious question to answer, which is why SE Group exists. Much as I admire our rough-and-tumble Dave McCoy-type founders, that improvisational style is trickier to execute in our highly regulated, activist present.And so we rely on artist-architects of the SE sort, who inject the natural with the human without draining what is essential from either. Done well, this crafted experience feels wild. Done poorly – as so much of our legacy built environment has been – and you generate resistance to future development, even if that future development is better. But no one falls in love with a blueprint. Experiencing a ski area as whatever it is you think a ski area should be is something you have to feel. And though there is a sort of magic animating places like Alta and Taos and Mammoth and Mad River Glen and Mount Bohemia, some ineffable thing that bleeds from the earth, these ski areas are also outcomes of a human-driven process, a determination to craft the best version of skiing that could exist for mass human consumption on that shred of the planet.Podcast NotesOn MittersillMittersill, now part of Cannon Mountain, was once a separate ski area. It petered out in the mid-‘80s, then became a sort of Cannon backcountry zone circa 2009. The Mittersill double arrived in 2010, followed by a T-bar in 2016.On chairlift consolidationI mention several ski areas that replaced a bunch of lifts with fewer lifts:The HighlandsIn 2023, Boyne-owned The Highlands wiped out three ancient Riblet triples and replaced them with this glorious bubble six-pack:Here's a before-and-after:Vernon Valley-Great Gorge/Mountain CreekI've called Intrawest's transformation of Vernon Valley-Great Gorge into Mountain Creek “perhaps the largest single-season overhaul of a ski area in the history of lift-served skiing.” Maybe someone can prove me wrong, but just look at this place circa 1989:It looked substantively the same in 1998, when, in a single summer, Intrawest tore out 18 lifts – 15 double chairs, two platters, and a T-bar, plus God knows how many ropetows – and replaced them with two high-speed quads, two fixed-grip quads, and a bucket-style Cabriolet lift that every normal ski area uses as a parking lot transit machine:I discussed this incredible transformation with current Hermitage Club GM Bill Benneyan, who worked at Mountain Creek in 1998, back in 2020:I misspoke on the podcast, saying that Intrawest had pulled out “something like a dozen lifts” and replaced them with “three or four” in 1998.KimberleyBack in the time before social media, Kimberley, British Columbia ran four frontside chairlifts: a high-speed quad, a triple, a double, and a T-bar:Beginning in 2001, the ski area slowly removed everything except the quad. Which was fine until an arsonist set fire to Kimberley's North Star Express in 2021, meaning skiers had no lift-served option to the backside terrain:I discussed this whole strange sequence of events with Andy Cohen, longtime GM of sister resort Fernie, on the podcast last year:On Revelstoke's original masterplanIt is astonishing that Revelstoke serves 3,121 acres with just five lifts: a gondola, two high-speed quads, a fixed quad, and a carpet. Most Midwest ski areas spin three times more lifts for three percent of the terrain.On Priest Creek and Sundown at SteamboatSteamboat, like many ski areas, once ran two parallel fixed-grip lifts on substantively the same line, with the Priest Creek double and the Sundown triple. The Sundown Express quad arrived in 1992, but Steamboat left Priest Creek standing for occasional overflow until 2021. Here's Steamboat circa 1990:Priest Creek is gone, but that entire 1990 lift footprint is nearly unrecognizable. Huge as Steamboat is, every arriving skier squeezes in through a single portal. One of Alterra's first priorities was to completely re-imagine the base area: sliding the existing gondola looker's right; installing an additional 10-person, two-stage gondola right beside it; and moving the carpets and learning center to mid-mountain:On upgrades at A-BasinWe discuss several upgrades at A-Basin, including Lenawee, Beavers, and Pallavicini. Here's the trailmap for context:On moguls on Kachina Peak at TaosYeah I'd say this lift draws some traffic:On the T-bar at Waterville ValleyWaterville Valley opened in 1966. Fifty-two years later, mountain officials finally acknowledged that chairlifts do not work on the mountain's top 400 vertical feet. All it took was a forced 1,585-foot shortening of the resort's base-to-summit high-speed quad just eight years after its 1988 installation and the legacy double chair's continued challenges in wind to say, “yeah maybe we'll just spend 90 percent less to install a lift that's actually appropriate for this terrain.” That was the High Country T-bar, which arrived in 2018. It is insane to look at ‘90s maps of Waterville pre- and post-chop job:On Hyland Hills, MinnesotaWhat an insanely amazing place this is:On Sunrise ParkFrom 1983 to 2017, Sunrise Park, Arizona was home to the most amazing triple chair, a 7,982-foot-long Yan with 352 carriers. Cyclone, as it was known, fell apart at some point and the resort neglected to fix or replace it. A couple of years ago, they re-opened the terrain to lift-served skiing with a low-cost alternative: stringing a ropetow from a green run off the Geronimo lift to where Cyclone used to land.On Woodward Park City and BorealPowdr has really differentiated itself with its Woodward terrain parks, which exist at amazing scale at Copper and Bachelor. The company has essentially turned two of its smaller ski areas – Boreal and Woodward Park City – entirely over to terrain parks.On Killington's tunnelsYou have to zoom in, but you can see them on the looker's right side of the trailmap: Bunny Buster at Great Northern, Great Bear at Great Northern, and Chute at Great Northern.On Jackson Hole traversesJackson is steep. Engineers hacked it so kids like mine could ride there:On expansions at Beaver Creek, Keystone, AspenRecent Colorado expansions have tended to create vast zones tailored to certain levels of skiers:Beaver Creek's McCoy Park is an incredible top-of-the-mountain green zone:Keystone's Bergman Bowl planted a high-speed six-pack to serve 550 acres of high-altitude intermediate terrain:And Aspen – already one of the most challenging mountains in the country – added Hero's – a fierce black-diamond zone off the summit:On Wilbere at SnowbirdWilbere is an example of a chairlift that kept the same name, even as Snowbird upgraded it from a double to a quad and significantly moved the load station and line:On ski terrain growth in AmericaYes, a bunch of ski areas have disappeared since the 1980s, but the raw amount of ski terrain has been increasing steadily over the decades:On White Pine, WyomingCushing referred to White Pine as a “dinky little ski area” with lots of potential. Here's a look at the thousand-footer, which billionaire Joe Ricketts purchased last year:On Deer Valley's expansionYeah, Deer Valley is blowing up:On Schweitzer's growthSchweitzer's transformation has been dramatic: in 1988, the Idaho panhandle resort occupied a large footprint that was served mostly by double chairs:Today: a modern ski area, with four detach quads, a sixer, and two newer triples – only one old chairlift remains:On BC transformationsA number of British Columbia ski areas have transformed from nubbins to majors over the past 30 years:Sun Peaks, then known as Tod Mountain, in 1993Sun Peaks today:Fernie in 1996, pre-upward expansion:Fernie today:Revelstoke, then known as Mount Mackenzie, in 1996:Modern Revy:Kicking Horse, then known as “Whitetooth” in 1994:Kicking Horse today:On Tamarack's expansion potentialTamarack sits mostly on Idaho state land, and would like to expand onto adjacent U.S. Forest Service land. Resort President Scott Turlington discussed these plans in depth with me on the pod a few years back:The mountain's plans have changed since, with a smaller lift footprint:On Central Park as a manmade placeNew York City's fabulous Central Park is another chunk of earth that may strike a visitor as natural, but is in fact a manmade work of art crafted from the wilderness. Per the Central Park Conservancy, which, via a public-private partnership with the city, provides the majority of funds, labor, and logistical support to maintain the sprawling complex:A popular misconception about Central Park is that its 843 acres are the last remaining natural land in Manhattan. While it is a green sanctuary inside a dense, hectic metropolis, this urban park is entirely human-made. It may look like it's naturally occurring, but the flora, landforms, water, and other features of Central Park have not always existed.Every acre of the Park was meticulously designed and built as part of a larger composition—one that its designers conceived as a "single work of art." Together, they created the Park through the practice that would come to be known as "landscape architecture."The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round. Join us.

Interview with Alain Lambert, CEO of Prismo Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/prismo-metals-csepriz-junior-explorer-targets-deep-porphyry-system-in-arizonas-copper-triangle-6645Recording date: 23rd April 2025In a recent interview, Alain Lambert, CEO of Prismo Metals, shared insights on political developments and commodity markets affecting the mining sector. With over three decades of experience in junior capital markets since 1987, Lambert provided valuable perspectives for resource investors navigating current market conditions.Lambert predicts the upcoming Canadian federal election on April 28, 2025, will likely result in a Liberal majority government under Mark Carney, continuing similar policies to the Trudeau administration. He attributes this political shift to anti-American sentiment in Canada, particularly in response to comments from US President Trump about Canada becoming "the 51st state." Despite current US-Canada trade tensions, Lambert expresses confidence these issues will be resolved once the new Canadian government is formed.On US trade policy, Lambert views Trump's tariff strategy as a negotiation tactic aimed at reducing trade deficits, addressing government spending, and managing national debt. He anticipates these policies will ultimately benefit the US economy, predicting "an historical economic boom."Lambert references a March executive order directing US government departments to streamline approvals for critical mineral projects, including copper. This policy environment could accelerate development timelines and improve capital access for companies operating in the US resources sector.Regarding metals markets, Lambert acknowledges gold's dramatic price increase from approximately $2,000 to $3,400 over 15 months but expects a correction. He notes mid-cap producers have benefited from the price rally, while junior explorers haven't seen proportional gains. Lambert cautions that any gold price correction could disproportionately impact junior exploration companies.Lambert is particularly optimistic about copper market dynamics, highlighting artificial intelligence as a significant demand driver that is often overlooked. "One thing they don't talk about enough is the impact of AI on electricity demand and the need for more electricity," he stated, adding this factor could be "more pronounced than demand because of electric vehicles."Prismo Metals is strategically positioned with a large copper exploration target approximately 40km from the Resolution Copper project (Rio Tinto/BHP joint venture) in Arizona. Lambert reports significant interest from major mining companies in US copper projects, creating potential partnership opportunities for companies like Prismo in jurisdictions set to benefit from favorable policy developments and strong underlying copper demand.View Prismo Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/prismo-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The San Carlos Apache Tribe is fighting to stop the planned June 16, 2025 transfer to the sacred Oak Flat land in Arizona to the companies that intend to turn it into a copper mine. There's a flurry of activity around the ongoing fight over the land, known to the Apache as Chi'chil Biłdagoteel. The Trump Administration announced its intention to rush the land swap involving 2,400 acres of land to hasten the two mile wide open pit mine. A federal judge this month halted the transfer, saying the tribes have a prevailing interest. San Carlos Apache just requested an injunction to stop any movement until the legal issues are settled. We'll also get perspectives on what needs to be considered if, as President Donald Trump suggests, the federal government moves ahead with re-opening the prison on Alcatraz Island in California.

In this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast, I'm joined by Warren Pies of 3Fourteen Research to unpack the challenges of investing in a world defined by policy shocks, geopolitical uncertainty, and persistent volatility. His data-driven approach allows Warren to cut through the noise of political unpredictability—particularly around Trump-era tariffs—and we focus the conversation on market signals, sentiment shifts, and technical indicators in today's unstable landscape. From the precarious relationship between bonds and equities to the evolving role of the U.S. dollar, Warren offers a grounded yet insightful take on where the real risks—and opportunities—lie. We dive deep into sector dynamics, especially the misunderstood signals coming from oil and credit markets, and Warren explains how quantitative models can help investors adapt to a regime defined by monetary debasement. With a candid look at sentiment extremes and capital flow inertia, Warren frames the U.S. not as a market without problems, but as the “cleanest dirty shirt” in a soiled global wardrobe—still investable, but only for those prepared to stay agile.

Hair Analysis is the basis of Dr. Prather's evaluation of a patient's mental health issues, because it is the best way to measure their body's mineral levels and heavy metal toxicities.  In fact, Dr. Prather says that, if he can get a Hair Analysis on a patient, "probably 95% of the mental health issues go away".  In this episode, find out:—Why the hair reflects what is going on in the brain and in the nervous system.  And the "transformative change in people's mental health" when you "get the minerals back in Homeostasis and the heavy metals out of the system".—How the most common heavy metal toxicity Dr. Prather sees is Aluminum, which "poisons the brain" and is linked to Dementia, Alzheimer's, Osteoporosis, balance problems, aggressive behavior in children, ADHD, Autism, and Insomnia.—The problems caused by Lead, Mercury, and Nickel for mental health.  And why Dr. Prather says that Nickel is "even worse" than those toxicities and is always something he checks for on patients with severe upper motor neuron diseases like Multiple Sclerosis and ALS.—The CDC study that showed 65% of all children have some sort of heavy metal toxicity.  And how Dr. Prather has had "kids go from Special Ed. to Honors, just by getting their heavy metals out and balancing out their minerals".—How an imbalance in the Copper-Zinc ratio can lead to issues like Anxiety, Attention Deficit, Dementia, Depression, and Insomnia.  And how high Copper is more common in females than males. —The link between high Manganese and Bi-Polar, Parkinson's symptoms, and tremors.  And the importance of a proper Calcium-Magnesium ratio. —Why Dr. Prather says that you can do everything possible, but are "never going to get a person's mental health issues under control until you get rid of those heavy metal toxicities". —How Dr. Prather uses a gentle and natural detoxification process for heavy metal toxicities that is "much more effective" than Chelation, which can be damaging to the Kidneys and Liver and deplete the body of minerals.—Why Amish men who do woodworking are in danger of high Arsenic levels, which can cause Anxiety, mood disorders, antagonistic personality, Depression, and Insomnia. —Dr. Prather's surprising discovery about the importance of low Molybdenum, which can cause fatigue, Depression, and can cause someone to become so tired that they can't even sleep.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Interview with Hayden Locke, President & CEO of Marimaca CopperOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/marimaca-copper-tsxmari-de-risked-chilean-copper-developer-on-the-fast-track-to-production-6720Recording date: 12th May 2025Marimaca Copper is making substantial progress on two fronts in northern Chile's prolific copper belt. The company is finalizing the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its flagship Marimaca oxide project while simultaneously uncovering exciting exploration results at the nearby Pampa Medina project.Recent drilling at Pampa Medina has revealed a potentially transformative discovery with two stacked manttos (horizontal ore bodies) showing different styles of mineralization. The upper zone intersected approximately 80 meters at over 1.2% copper, including a higher-grade section exceeding 20 meters at roughly 2.5%. More significantly, deeper drilling encountered substantial visual bornite and chalcopyrite mineralization in the lower 300 meters, with assays pending."We now think that Pampa Medina has the potential to nearly double in size if there's continuous mineralization between the current Pampa Medina manto horizon out to the Pampa Medina Norte extension," explained Hayden Lock, President and CEO of Marimaca Copper. This expansion could substantially increase the strike length of the deposit. The mineralization bears similarities to Antofagasta's Cachuro discovery, which boasts a resource exceeding 300 million tons at over 1% copper.Marimaca is pursuing a pragmatic hub-and-spoke development strategy, with the flagship Marimaca oxide project serving as the central processing facility for multiple satellite deposits, including Pampa Medina and Madrugador. This approach aims to maximize capital efficiency while providing a clear path to significant production scale.The exploration success could significantly enhance the company's production profile. Current development plans target approximately 50,000 tons of copper annually from the Marimaca oxide project. However, integrating the satellite deposits could increase production to 70,000-75,000 tons, which would make Marimaca Copper the sixth largest copper project on the ASX according to Lock.Internal assessments suggest Madrugador and Pampa Medina together could contribute 20,000-25,000 tons annually for 13-14 years, even without additional exploration success. The company has commissioned an integration study from Stantec to validate the economic benefits of incorporating these satellite deposits into the development plan.Initial metallurgical indications for the Pampa Medina oxide material are encouraging, with data suggesting high acid solubility and potentially better recoveries than at the flagship Marimaca project. The company is balancing aggressive exploration ambitions with pragmatic capital management, focusing immediate drilling efforts on connecting the Pampa Medina Norte extension with the main deposit while conducting select deeper holes to test sulfide potential.For investors, Marimaca offers exposure to a copper development story with multiple near-term catalysts, including the completion of the DFS for the flagship project, pending assay results from deep drilling, and the integration study results. The company's advancing development timeline coincides with a period of favorable copper market fundamentals, characterized by accelerating demand and constrained supply growth.Marimaca's progress toward production, combined with its expanding resource potential, positions it as an increasingly significant player in the copper development landscape.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/marimaca-copperSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Juan Garcia Valledor, GM Spain of Pan Global Resources Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/pan-global-resources-tsxvpgz-poised-to-thrive-in-the-coming-copper-boom-6794Recording date: 13th May 2025Pan Global Resources (TSXV: PGZ) is making significant progress on its copper, tin, and gold exploration portfolio across Spain. Led by an experienced mine-building team, the company is advancing multiple promising projects with a clear development roadmap.The flagship La Romana deposit continues to expand, now extending 1.7 km in strike length with consistent copper and tin mineralization. With nearly 190 drill holes completed, Pan Global is approaching a maiden resource estimation expected in 2025, followed by a Preliminary Economic Assessment in 2026. Company leadership is confident that "La Romana is clearly in the way to be a mine."Recent drilling at La Pantoja, 500 meters west of La Romana, intersected high-grade copper (1.5%) and tin (0.1%), potentially extending the resource footprint. Meanwhile, exploration at the northern Cármenes and Profunda projects has revealed impressive gold values exceeding 3g/t over 37 meters and copper samples grading over 5%.Pan Global's strategic advantage comes from its location in Andalusia, one of Europe's most mining-friendly jurisdictions with supportive local communities and administration. The Spanish government is developing a new mining exploration framework, with Pan Global contributing to the process.The company's approach differs from typical grassroots explorers, with a management team that includes multiple mining engineers preparing for development phases. Environmental and social groundwork is already underway, reflecting the company's commitment to responsible practices.With 7,000 meters of drilling planned for 2025 and multiple high-potential targets within trucking distance of each other, Pan Global envisions potentially consolidating several deposits into a standalone mining operation, with alternative options including toll milling at nearby facilities.As Europe seeks secure sources of critical minerals for electrification and decarbonization, Pan Global's multi-metal portfolio in an EU-aligned jurisdiction offers a compelling investment case amid structural supply constraints for copper and increasing demand for tin in technology applications.View Pan Global Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/pan-global-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Malcolm Dorsey, President & CEO of Torr Metals Inc.Recording date: 13th May 2025Torr Metals (TSXV:TMET) is a Canadian exploration company preparing for its maiden drill program at the Kolos Project in southern British Columbia—a road-accessible copper-gold porphyry target located near major producing mines like New Afton and Highland Valley. With strong early indicators including high-grade surface samples and a 1,300m x 800m geophysical anomaly at the Bertha Zone, Torr is targeting up to 3,000 meters of drilling in 2025.The Kolos Project benefits from exceptional infrastructure: it lies along Highway 5, 30 minutes from a lab in Kamloops, and requires no seasonal camp. This accessibility dramatically reduces costs and supports fast assay turnaround. CEO Malcolm Dorsey emphasizes that Kolos exhibits “a very large zone of hydrothermal alteration and mineralization,” consistent with porphyry systems sought by major miners.Torr's land position is strategically located within a competitive mining district. Majors like Teck, New Gold, Hudbay, Fortescue, and Boliden have recently staked nearby, signaling rising interest in the area. With New Afton and Highland Valley approaching end-of-life within 6–15 years, a discovery at Kolos could serve as a future feedstock source for local mills.Beyond Kolos, Torr offers exploration optionality with two additional projects: the Filion Gold Project in Ontario, featuring high-grade historic samples, and the Latham copper-gold project in northern BC, both aligned with the company's low-cost, highway-accessible strategy.With just 42 million shares outstanding, a ~$6M market cap, and 25% insider ownership, Torr Metals provides investors with high-leverage exposure to copper-gold discovery. As electrification drives long-term copper demand and supply tightens, Torr is positioned as an emerging junior in a region that majors are watching closely.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Friday, 16 May 2025   Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts, Matthew 10:9   “Not you shall acquire gold nor silver nor copper into your girdles” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus instructed the twelve concerning what to do when they went out among the people. He finished with, “Freely you received, freely you give.” Now, His words continue with, “Not you shall acquire gold nor silver nor copper.”   The word ktaomai is introduced here. It signifies to acquire. It has various meanings based on the surrounding context, such as obtain, possess, provide, purchase, etc. In this case, it is applied to the acquisition of precious or semi-precious metals, including gold, something already introduced in Matthew 2:11. Also, He notes arguros, silver.   In the Bible, silver generally speaks of money. It is the standard metal used for transactions going all the way back to Genesis 13:2. The word in Greek is derived from argos, shining. The underlying, typological meaning of silver is redemption, something it consistently signifies in this regard. Finally, Jesus mentions chalkos, copper.   In this case, copper is the main metal, but the word also signifies copper alloys, such as bronze and brass. For example, a copper bell wouldn't make a very nice sound, and it would be worn out quickly. However, a bronze or brass bell would be stronger and have a much clearer sound. As such, it is what Paul refers to in 1 Corinthians 13:1 –   “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass [chalkos] or a clanging cymbal.”   The same is true in the Old Testament, where the Hebrew word nekhosheth, copper, also refers to copper alloys. The context must determine what is being referred to. As for these metals, each is used in the Bible concerning the acquisition of wealth, which can be stored up, used for currency, etc. The twelve are instructed not to acquire these as such.   This instruction to not acquire them is because this was not the purpose of their going forth. What they needed was to come from the care of others without additional profit. Therefore, Jesus finishes the verse with, “into your girdles.”   This refers to how the girdle is twisted, forming folds where money could be kept. This practice continues among various tribes of people in the Middle East to this day. The girdle thus equates to the modern fanny pack.   In the comparable passage in Mark, it says, “He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts” (Mark 6:8). In Luke, it says, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money” Luke 9:3.   Life application: In the comments above, it says concerning the translation as copper, bronze, or brass, that “the context must determine what is being referred to.” You might then ask, “Charlie, what are you talking about?” The answer to the appropriateness of each translation is to be found in what is being talked about.   For example, there is a time when brass was not yet used. Therefore, before it was introduced as an alloy, any copper alloy referred to would be best translated as bronze. This was known as the Bronze Age, a period that extended from around 2000 BC to about 700 BC.   During this period, if a sword is referred to it would probably have been bronze. Copper would have been too soft to make an effective, lasting sword. Therefore, translations that say brass during this period would be incorrect. Further, being an alloy, bronze and brass are not found in nature. Therefore, the following verse has two errors in it concerning the word nekhosheth –   “A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass [nekhosheth].” Deuteronomy 8:9   The first error is that it was too early in history for it to have been brass. Rather, bronze was the alloy referred to at that time. But even that would be incorrect. This is because one mayest not dig brass or bronze from them thar hills. Only copper could be obtained from them, after which they would be mixed with other metals to form bronze.   For those stuck in the cult mindset that the KJV is the only acceptable translation, this causes a dilemma, which then demands they excuse such an error. Their answer is that it is believed that such an alloy was found in Siberia when a meteor entered the atmosphere and formed a copper alloy as it heated and cooled. There are several problems with this. First, the supposed alloy that was found was microscopic. Second, it was ... in Siberia. Checking a map will help the student of the Bible to see that Israel is not in Siberia. And more, the Lord tells the people through Moses that they mayest dig nekhosheth out of the hills. This implies an abundance of it, not microscopic amounts.   Therefore, Deuteronomy 8:9 contains several of the innumerable translational errors found in the KJV. And yet, because of a cult mindset, they must go to absurd lengths in an attempt to justify what is unjustifiable. Be reasonable in how you consider what you believe. If something you have accepted is wrong, admit it and move on.   Lord God, help us to think clearly and reasonably about what Your word is telling us. Help us to put aside biases, presuppositions, and faulty thinking as we consider what You are telling us. We may have been misinformed about something in the past, and so help us not to try to justify error but instead admit it and determine what is correct. May we do this so that our understanding of Scripture will be honoring of You. Amen.

In the third episode of The Hundred Year Pivot, Demetri and I are joined by one of our main inspirations for setting out on this podcast journey, renowned financial historian Russell Napier, for a sweeping exploration of the deep structural imbalances reshaping the global economic and monetary order. Russell lays out a powerful framework for understanding the unwinding of decades-long distortions—rising debt, trade and capital flow asymmetries, and the pivotal role of China in the shifting global balance. As geopolitical alliances realign and governments turn increasingly to capital controls and financial repression, Russell warns that traditional investment strategies may prove dangerously inadequate. From the future of the U.S. dollar to the strategic role of gold and real assets, Russell offers a masterclass in navigating a world where preserving wealth demands foresight, flexibility, and a willingness to think far beyond the consensus as The Hundred Year Pivot forces us to completely change the way we think about the world around us and how we invest therein.

Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO, commented, “As we deepen our understanding of the Sombrero system, our confidence in the size and potential of the broader district continues to grow. These early drill results confirm our belief that we are only beginning to unlock the value of this largely underexplored, yet highly promising, land package. Although our initial permitted polygon was quite limiting, we have been able to develop a strong pipeline of drill-ready targets across the property and eagerly await the surface data collection on new, high-grade skarn and porphyry targets. Our priority is to secure key permits which are underway, in order to position ourselves to drill the most robust outcropping areas in the next phase of drilling. We are looking forward to additional exploration results and permit advancements as we prepare for a busy second half of 2025.” Sponsor: https://coppernicometals.com/ Press Release discussed: https://coppernicometals.com/coppernico-confirms-large-scale-copper-skarn-system-and-expands-pipeline-of-priority-targets-at-sombrero/ TSX:COPR; OTCQB: CPPMF 0:00 Intro 1:02 Hit low-grade copper 4:11 Phase two drill targets 5:59 Permits 7:24 Consider a JV? 9:31 Acquisition 11:18 Copper outcrops to be drilled next 13:12 Why not start with your best targets? 15:27 Catalysts Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Coppernico Metals pays MSE a United States dollar seven thousand per month coverage fee.

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

This is episode 222 - Zooming out to peer at 1863, and a bit of Namaqualand Copper and Gunny Bags. We've just entered the period of 1863 to 1865. It's also time to take a quick tour of 1863 as is our usual way. While the Transvaal Civil War has ended, the American Civil War is still going gangbusters. In the last 12 months, momentous events have shaped world history. Abraham Lincoln signed the the Emancipation Proclamation in January of 1863 making the abolition of slavery in the Confederate States a War goal. A speculative mania followed in 1853/4, alarming the Government of the Cape. In the 1850s, a wave of speculative mining booms swept across the globe, driven by dramatic gold and mineral discoveries in places like California, Australia, and South Africa. These were fuelled by exaggerated rumours, newspaper hype, and dubious prospecting claims. Tens of thousands of hopefuls chased fortunes, often to remote or inhospitable regions, believing the next strike was just over the ridge. This era gave rise to a kind of "treasure hysteria", where wildcat ventures and fraudulent schemes—what some dubbed “red herrings”—diverted investors and prospectors alike. King Moshoeshoe the first of the Basotho had taken a great deal of interest in the Transvaal Civil War. The Orange Free State had been instrumental — and in particular — it's new president Johan Brandt, in ending the inter-Boer battles. He was also growing more concerned by the signs of increased mining activity which had been going on west of his territory. Ancient peoples who predated the Khoe in the northern Cape had taken advantage of these minerals, there is archaeological evidence they were using iron from the area dug from pits 6000 years Before Present, around 4000 BC. Remarkable really, the use of iron in Southern Africa predates European Iron Age use by 3800 years. There is an excellent short book published by John Smalberger in 1975 called A history of Copper Mining in Namaqualand published which I've used as one of the sources. A specialised company called Phillips and King began exporting the ore in 1852 — a small 11 tons loaded on board a steamer called the Bosphorus which sailed out of Hondeklip Bay. They built a 140 meter long wooden jetty to facilitate loading here. A speculative mania followed in 1853/4, alarming the Government of the Cape. In the 1850s, a wave of speculative mining booms swept across the globe, driven by dramatic gold and mineral discoveries in places like California, Australia, and South Africa.

In the second episode of The Hundred Year Pivot, Demetri and I talk with the man whose work inspired us to set off on this journey together – the co-author of seminal book The Fourth Turning and author of The Fourth Turning is Here, Neil Howe. What follows is a timely and thought-provoking conversation on generational theory and the turbulent state of not just the United States, but the entire world today. From rising partisanship and institutional decay to shifting cultural norms around religion, gender, and substance use, Neil unpacks the patterns he sees repeating—and what they might mean for the road ahead. We explore the defining characteristics of a Fourth Turning, why America and the rest of the world may already be deep into one, and what the implications could be both at home and on the world stage—including the possibility of a major confrontation with China. This is a deep dive into the forces reshaping our society with one of their keenest observers—and a disturbing look at what history tells us might come next.

#UK: COPPER SPIKE. SIMON CONSTABLE, OCCITANIE 1909 CHILE

To celebrate the 100th episode of The Grant Williams Podcast, I'm delighted to welcome my friend Lynne Bryan Phipps for a discussion unlike any of the 99 that preceded it as she and I take a personal journey into the incredible world of Integrative Equine Therapy (IET). Lynne – an ordained minister, architect and psychologist and the founder of one of Rhode Island's leading charter schools – also founded Beachwood Centre, an extraordinary place where Lynne and her staff provide help for those suffering from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, grief and other stress-related issues, with the aid of horses. My own personal experience working with Lynne opened my eyes to something remarkable and, in this conversation, we talk about the remarkable work being done at Beachwood, the extraordinary data collected by Brown University, demonstrating the incredible healing power of IET and how (and why) horses are a transformational factor when it comes to this kind of work. This is a conversation you won't forget. At the end of the conversation you'll find ways in which you can help Lynne continue the important work being done at Beachwood. So, if you've enjoyed my work, and you're in a position to make a contribution – no matter how small – please consider donating to this wonderful cause.
