In today's episode, we're joined by Dominic Raab, former UK Deputy Prime Minister and now Head of Global Affairs at Appian Capital Advisory, one of the leading investors in the mining and metals sector.  We'll be discussing his transition from politics to mining, how Dominic's experience in government influences his new role, and the growing importance of policy and public–private partnerships in securing the global supply of critical minerals. We'll also explore how regions like the UK and Europe, despite having fewer natural resources, can remain competitive and resilient in a rapidly changing market. And finally, we'll get Dominic's outlook for the mining industry over the next five to ten years. It's a timely and thought-provoking discussion that connects policy, strategy, and sustainability  Dominic is also going to be attending the upcoming Resourcing Tomorrow event - the premier gathering for the world's mining leaders taking place in London from 2-4 December. What sets this event apart is its unmatched audience: C-level executives from the biggest mining companies worldwide, over 40 government ministers, leading mining technology providers, and many more mining professionals in the industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The demand for critical minerals, such as cobalt and lithium, is rapidly increasing due to their essential roles in technology, energy transition, and national security.  This growing demand highlights the need for secure and diversified supply chains. Effective public-private partnerships can de-risk mining projects by providing seed capital and leveraging private sector expertise. The UK and Europe are perceived to be lagging behind global competitors, particularly China, in developing policies for critical minerals BEST MOMENTS "Mining as a sector is notoriously inefficient at allocating capital, and we've got this concentration of supply and the subsidies and the tools of a command economy that China avails itself of." "The defence demands, both conventional and the new ones like missile defence and drones, all huge demand drivers for critical minerals and rare earths." "I think the basic elements are the same. There's this capex challenge of investing and attracting long-term patient capital into mining."

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share that the company is welcoming the Government of Canada's $57.6 million investment to construct a second wharf at the Port of Saguenay, Quebec. The new wharf will be located directly adjacent to First Phosphate's planned phosphoric acid plant, a strategic placement that will enhance the company's export logistics and support the efficient transportation of future phosphate concentrate, phosphoric acid, and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) products to markets across North America, Europe, and beyond. Passalacqua noted that the announcement underscores the federal government's commitment to advancing Canada's critical minerals infrastructure and coincides with the recent visit by Tim Hodgson, Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, to Port Saguenay. The CEO also highlighted that First Phosphate has recently finalized an industrial land option agreement with Port Saguenay, securing the site for the company's planned phosphoric acid plant. The facility will utilize advanced clean technology licensed from Prayon SA of Belgium and will be engineered and implemented by Ballestra S.p.A. of Italy, both leaders in global chemical process design and execution. This milestone also follows significant policy developments in the U.S., where the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, acting through the U.S. Geological Survey, has added phosphate to the Final 2025 List of Critical Minerals. The decision—based on recommendations from the Departments of Energy, Defense, and Agriculture—aligns the United States with Canada, South Korea, the European Union, and the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, all of which have formally recognized phosphate as an essential mineral for energy transition and food security. Passalacqua said this alignment between Canadian and U.S. policy frameworks reinforces First Phosphate's position as a key contributor to the North American LFP battery materials supply chain and supports the company's goal of building a fully integrated, clean, and secure phosphate production ecosystem in Quebec. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries #dod

Millennial Potash Chairman Farhad Abasov joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's support for the U.S. Geological Survey's decision to add potash to the 2025 List of Critical Minerals, recognizing its strategic importance to global food security and supply chain resilience. Abasov said the inclusion underscores growing international efforts to diversify supply and reduce reliance on dominant producers such as Canada, Russia, and Belarus. Potash is a vital agricultural input used in fertilizer production, essential for maintaining crop yields and global food supply stability. Millennial also highlighted a recent Financial Times report referencing the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation's (DFC) commitment of US$3 million in project development funding for Millennial's Banio Potash Project in Gabon. The funding is aimed at supporting feasibility studies and de-risking the project, with the potential to unlock additional U.S. financing in the future. The DFC, a U.S. government agency that supports private-sector initiatives in developing regions, has invested approximately US$13 billion across 300 projects in 26 Sub-Saharan African countries. Located on Gabon's Atlantic coast, the Banio Project offers direct shipping access to key markets in the United States, Brazil, and Africa. A Preliminary Economic Assessment released in April 2024 outlined an after-tax NPV (10%) of US$1.07 billion and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 32.6%, based on operating costs of US$61 per ton of granular potash. Abasov added that a revised mineral resource estimate is currently in progress, following recent drilling that revealed potash-rich horizons up to 100 meters thick, further underscoring the project's large-scale potential. #proactiveinvestors #millennialpotahscorp #tsxv #mlp #otcqb #mlpnf #potash #CriticalMinerals #Potash #USGeologicalSurvey #FertilizerIndustry #USDFC #FoodSecurity #ResourceEstimates #MiningNews #GabonProjects #ProactiveInvestors

Chris Temple, Editor and Publisher of the National Investor, joins us live at the New Orleans Investment Conference to delve into US policy around critical minerals, and to help us separate the signal from the noise from all the focus in bills and executive orders on copper, uranium, rare earths, antimony, tungsten, lithium, and other strategic metals. We've seen a lot of volatility in many of the related resource stocks, and so we dive into a nuanced longer-form conversation about the investing angle in these various sectors.   We start off discussing the mixed bag coming from US policy around the extraction, processing, and refinement of critical minerals and energy metals from this administration compared to prior administrations.   On one hand we've seen positive funding measures and compressed permitting timelines emerge with initiatives like Fast-41, or the strategic position in MP Materials, or the approval of the Ambler Road for Trilogy Metals.  On the other hand, Chris argues that this is far too little, too late, and that it will take a much larger concerted effort and far more funds to really move the needle on domestic supplies of critical minerals and strategic metals.    We get into the challenges around processing and refinement, being much larger problems that most policy makers realize, and without a quick fix.   The question arises of how much can get realistically get done to help the extractive industries over the next 3 years, or potentially only 1 more year, depending on how mid-term elections turn out.   Chris also points out that many of these initial support bills and executive orders are encouraging, but most will need follow up support and follow through policies to assist, and it remains unclear if we'll see that pan out in the medium to longer-term.   Chris highlights discrepancies in policy and reality, like Rio Tinto's Resolution Mine in Arizona is on the Fast-41 list, but still has huge hurtles to overcome on a state and local stakeholder level to be able to move forward.  He also highlights that the Teck-Glencore JV at NorthMet in Minnesota, which is a world-class critical minerals project that has been stalled by multiple operators and government bodies and lobbyist groups for all of this century.  He also highlights the government investment into Lithium Americas Thacker Pass Project as potentially misguided use of funds that will be far more capital intensive than other options would have been. Chris reminds listeners that with all those projects, if they do ever get fully approved, they would still be many years from producing more of these critical minerals.   Chris reiterates that his top commodity sector for investing is still uranium due to all the tailwinds for nuclear energy.   He is also far more comfortable investing in traditional energy with oil and nat gas companies, than even some of the critical minerals for the longer-term, as we are far further from phasing out fossil fuels that people were led to believe in years past, and there are still opportunities in the energy stocks.   Click here to follow along with Chris at the National Investor website.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer:  This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Our guest on this week's episode is Brodie Sutherland, CEO of Patriot Critical Minerals Corp. Just yesterday a major issue on the agenda for the meeting between President Trump and China's President Xi's was access to critical minerals, including rare earth minerals. It looks like the Chinese ban on exporting these crucial minerals will now be lifted, but that ban reminds us of how vulnerable our supply chains are to assuring that critical minerals are available for production of semiconductors, military equipment, and the electronics that run our everyday lives. Sutherland leads a company that is looking to begin mining of America's largest deposit of tungsten, located in Nevada. He shares about the importance of assuring a domestic supply of critical minerals. As technologies advance, companies are finding even greater need for digitalization of their supply chains. Nearly 40% of companies surveyed recently say they will allocate more than a quarter of their 2026 budgets to technology investments, according to information from logistics technology platform and solutions provider Ontegos Cloud.This week we've seen continued momentum in companies expanding their networks of self driving cars and trucks. Most of what we're seeing falls into the category of carriers dipping their toe in the water, and trying out pilot projects or proof of concept trials. But the technology does seem to be getting more reliable and these week we see two more examples.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Quinton Hennigh to the show. Quinton Hennigh is an Internationally Renowned Economic Geologist who provides critical insights into the current state of mineral exploration and mining. Hennigh highlights a significant decline in metal discovery rates over the past decades, attributing this to major mining companies abandoning their internal exploration efforts and shifting responsibilities to junior exploration companies. Hennigh's current strategy focuses on acquiring assets with unrecognized exploration potential, particularly in underexplored regions like Bolivia, Argentina, and Japan. He emphasizes the importance of targeting large-scale deposits that would attract major mining companies' interest, believing that it requires nearly the same effort to explore a small project as a potentially world-class one. The discussion critically examines the current mining exploration landscape, with Hennigh expressing concern about the proliferation of junior mining companies. He argues that approximately 90% of these companies lack direction and technical capability, creating an inefficient market flooded with speculative ventures. This overcrowding has led to misallocation of capital and a diminishing pool of technical expertise in the mining sector. Hennigh is particularly critical of current industry practices, including the royalty and streaming models, which he describes as "parasitic" to mining companies. He also highlights challenges in permitting processes and regulatory compliance, suggesting these bureaucratic hurdles significantly impede mining development. Looking forward, Hennigh advocates for more efficient capital deployment, reducing permitting complexities, and attracting younger talent to the mining industry. He sees potential in unexplored regions and believes that with the right approach, significant mineral discoveries are still possible. His strategy involves identifying undervalued assets with substantial exploration potential, leveraging modern geological understanding to unlock value that previous explorers might have overlooked.

Michael Rowley, President & CEO, of Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF), joins us to review the news out today announcing the completion of the 2025 exploration program, that the Company has engaged Mine Technical Services (“MTS”) to complete an updated NI 43-101-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Company's 100%-owned Stillwater West critical minerals project in Montana, USA.  Stillwater West hosts nickel, copper, cobalt, chromium, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, gold, and osmium – a unique mix of battery, alloy, and platinum group metals essential to clean energy, defense, and technology supply chains.   Mike explains that this new geological model and understanding of the Stillwater West Project through the lens of the South African Bushveld Complex as a parallel is so crucial to unlocking the value proposition of the Project and for future exploration targeting.  It is also quite constructive have  Dr. Danie Grobler, Vice President of Exploration, Albie Brits, Senior Geologist, provide different layers of input and collaboration with Tim Kuhl and the MTS team on the updated Stillwater resource estimate. Their extensive experience in Platreef-type geology and resource estimation is expected to provide significant value to the Project.   Highlights and upcoming catalysts:   The 2025 drill campaign is now complete, totaling 3,471m in eight holes, with all assays pending. The updated MRE will incorporate 14 drill holes totaling 5,781 meters (“m”) from the 2023 and 2025 programs, plus select historic holes not included in the current estimate. The updated Mineral Resource Estimate is expected in H1 2026 and will mark the next step in advancing Stillwater West as a potential large-scale source of ten minerals listed as critical in the U.S. The update will build on the January 25, 2023, Inferred Mineral Resource and results will support further technical studies and economic assessments. MTS has completed a site visit and is updating deposit models to incorporate new data, improved geologic domaining, geostatistics, and structural controls – leveraging insights from the Platreef district in South Africa. The work is being led by Mr. Timothy Kuhl (MTS) and Dr. Danie Grobler (Stillwater) who together previously worked with the late Dr. Harry Parker on the resource estimation and technical reports for Ivanhoe Mines' Platreef Mine.   We go on to discuss with Mike the challenges and opportunities in defining the large-scale polymetallic and critical mineral resources at Stillwater West; and why it has the attention of large major producers, like their strategic partner Glencore, along with attention from the US and Montana government. We discuss how the nickel, copper, and cobalt tie into the growing industry demands for battery metals, energy metals, and defense metals. Additionally, with platinum, palladium, rhodium, and gold all demonstrating strong recent market performance, Stillwater West offers significant leverage to these precious metals.     If you have any questions for Mike or the team at Stillwater Critical Minerals, then please email them into us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Stillwater Critical Minerals   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/ Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

In this episode, we chat with Heather White, CEO of the Sunshine Silver Mining & Refining Company, a U.S.-based developer focused on revitalizing one of North America's most historic and high-grade silver districts. Under Heather's leadership, the company is advancing plans to bring its projects back into production while also expanding into the critical minerals space, including antimony, which is drawing growing attention for its strategic importance in energy, defence, and technology. Heather shares an update on Sunshine Silver's progress, including their recent $75 million equity raise, the five-year roadmap to restart operations, and how the company is positioning itself within the evolving U.S. critical minerals landscape. We also discuss the challenges of bringing legacy mines back online, the regulatory changes needed to accelerate domestic production, and Heather's outlook on what investors should watch for next. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sunshine Silver is focused on restarting the Sunshine Complex in Idaho, a historic site with one of the largest undeveloped high-grade silver resources in the US, with initial production targeted for 2028. The company is building the US's only permitted large-scale antimony refinery, strategically important because antimony is a critical mineral for defense and clean energy The company has a significant advantage as its mine and refinery are already permitted and "ready to roll," helping to overcome the typically long permitting timelines in the US mining sector. The overall plan is to transform Sunshine into the cornerstone of North America's critical minerals refining solution, initially securing domestic supply for antimony and silver BEST MOMENTS "The Sunshine Complex in Idaho's Silver Valley... has produced almost $400 million ounces of silver across a century and was once among the most prolific primary silver mines in the world." "Permitting reform is the single biggest lever, not to weaken environmental standards, but to create a clear and timely and most importantly predictable process that allows responsible projects to move forward." "Sunshine sits right at the intersection of all these forces, combining not only its history, its scale, high-grade and strategic relevance in a way that very few assets can."

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Lobo Tiggre to the show. Lobo Tiggre is Author and Founder of the Independent Speculator Founder and CEO of Louis James LLC. The discussion centers on the current state of commodities, with a particular focus on gold, silver, copper, and uranium. Tiggre provides a nuanced perspective on the gold market, highlighting several key factors driving its current rise. He notes central bank buying, portfolio rebalancing, and increasing mainstream interest as significant catalysts. While bullish on gold, he cautions against assuming a straight upward trajectory, emphasizing the potential for corrections. He views gold primarily as financial insurance, recommending investors consider their exposure based on global economic uncertainties. Regarding commodities, Tiggre argues that inflationary trends and global economic transformations are creating a potential super-cycle. He is particularly enthusiastic about copper, citing strong demand from electrification, AI data centers, and significant supply constraints. He expects a multi-year, potentially multi-decade bull market in copper, though he's waiting for strategic entry points. Tiggre also discusses uranium, presenting a bullish case driven by increasing global nuclear energy adoption and constrained supply. He sees a robust market for the next few years, barring a major nuclear incident. His investment approach remains fundamentally value-oriented, seeking opportunities when assets are undervalued. The discussion explores a broader macroeconomic perspective, with Tiggre describing a stagflationary outlook. He points to weakening labor markets and persistent inflation as key indicators, suggesting economic challenges ahead. His investment philosophy emphasizes disciplined speculation, focusing on value propositions and avoiding momentum-driven investments. Throughout the conversation, Tiggre consistently advises investors to maintain perspective, avoid emotional decision-making, and be prepared for market fluctuations. He recommends having a strategic approach to investing, being willing to rotate between sectors, and always maintaining a critical view of market narratives.
