Interview with Frederick H. Earnest, President & CEO of Vista GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/vista-gold-nysevgz-undervalued-investment-series-with-frederick-h-earnest-9735Recording date: 4th June 2026Vista Gold is advancing its Mt Todd gold project in Australia's Northern Territory through a disciplined three-pillar strategy focused on permitting, people, and engineering, as it moves toward a definitive investment decision. The project, one of the largest undeveloped gold assets in the country, holds 5 million ounces in reserves and 10 million ounces in total resources. Recent efforts have centered on resizing operations from 50,000 to 15,000 tons per day to improve capital efficiency, prompting modifications to existing permits rather than entirely new approvals.Permitting remains the most time-sensitive component. Key steps include updates to mining and operating permits, engagement with Aboriginal stakeholders, and preparation for federal environmental approval under the EPBC Act. The application is expected in late 2026, with a decision timeline of six to nine months.At the same time, Vista Gold is strengthening its leadership team, hiring senior executives across technical, approvals, and external relations functions. The company is also recruiting an Australia-based Managing Director to oversee local development and support financing efforts, including a potential listing on the Australian Securities Exchange.Engineering optimization is a major value driver. Metallurgical testing aims to refine processing efficiency, while a geotechnical study on the Batman Pit could significantly reduce waste movement. If successful, this adjustment may lower mining costs by up to $200 million or unlock additional gold reserves.Project economics are highly sensitive to gold prices. At $3,300 per ounce, Mt Todd carries a net present value of $2.2 billion and an internal rate of return near 45%. With gold trading above $4,500, the project's upside is substantially greater. Despite this, Vista Gold's market valuation remains well below its estimated asset value, positioning the project as a leveraged play on strong gold market conditions.View Vista Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/vista-gold-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The big things you need to know:First, lingering concerns about interest rates and the Fed flared up on Friday after a surprisingly strong NFP report. We run through our thoughts on why this hit the Nasdaq so hard and note that risk of a tier 1 / garden variety pullback (5-10% from peak) has risen in the near term.Second, other things that jump out include the recent drop in bitcoin, which supports the idea that risks of a tier 1 pullback have risen, and the sharp drop in Small Caps on Friday on interest rate fears.

Every once in a while, a junior mining story reaches the point where investors stop asking whether the discovery is interesting and start asking a much bigger question. How far can this go? Power Metallic Mines has attracted backing from 15 billionaires and leading mining investors, adding another layer of credibility to a story that is now entering a key validation phase. Power Metallic $PNPN / $PNPNF just delivered its second-best Lion Zone intersection to date, with hole PML-26-095 returning 22.00 metres of 11.46% CuEqRec, including 6.50 metres of 18.59% CuEqRec. CEO Terry Lynch is now pointing investors to the Foran Mining playbook. Foran is the Canadian mining company Eldorado Gold agreed to acquire for $3.6 billion. The point is not that Power Metallic is Foran today. The point is the pathway. Resource estimate. Metallurgy. Economic study. Strategic recognition. Development planning. Power Metallic controls the broader Nisk Project Area, which includes the Nisk, Lion and Tiger zones. Management has said it believes the upcoming Q3 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate could come close to Foran's contained-metal range, although the final number remains subject to completion of the estimate. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Mineral Resource Estimate Targeted For Q3 2026: Power Metallic says recent Lion Zone infill drilling will be incorporated into future mineral resource estimates, with a 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate expected in Q3. High-Grade Lion Zone Results: Hole PML-26-095 returned 22.00 metres of 11.46% CuEqRec, including 6.50 metres of 18.59% CuEqRec. The company called it the second-best intersection to date at Lion. Potential Open-Pit Development: The company says recent holes highlight robust near-surface mineralization and the potential for open-pit development. Any future mine plan or economics remain subject to formal study work. Strong Metallurgical Results: The copper equivalent calculation is based on recovered grades using recent locked-cycle metallurgical recoveries by SGS Canada. Management has also emphasized that these recoveries help address investor concerns around processing a polymetallic deposit. Preliminary Economics: A Preliminary Economic Assessment is targeted for Q4 2026. Management has referenced internal capital cost expectations of approximately $400 million, compared with Foran's reported $800 million to $900 million range, but Power Metallic's figures remain to be confirmed through formal study work.The Bigger Picture: Lynch also highlighted the rarity of orthomagmatic discoveries, saying only a small number have been found globally and that these systems have historically grown meaningfully beyond their initial discovery footprint. The Timing: The upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate is expected to give investors a clearer picture of the scale and grade of the Lion Zone. The planned Preliminary Economic Assessment is expected to provide the first formal look at potential project economics. Together, these two milestones are intended to help move Power Metallic from discovery story to de-risking story. CEO TERRY LYNCH'S MESSAGE Foran earned its valuation by advancing through a disciplined process of technical de-risking. Power Metallic is attempting to follow a similar path, starting with the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate in Q3 2026 and a Preliminary Economic Assessment targeted for Q4 2026. Lynch believes the Lion Zone has the potential to support favourable economics because of its grade, shallow mineralization and location in Quebec. However, those economics still need to be confirmed through formal study work. INVESTOR TAKEAWAY Foran Mining showed how a high-grade Canadian polymetallic project can move from resource definition to technical de-risking to strategic recognition. Power Metallic is earlier in that process, but management believes the Nisk Project Area has the right ingredients to follow a similar playbook. High-grade results at Lion.

Live aufgezeichnet beim ChinaClub-Event „Vertrauen in die Produkte und Geschäftspartner aus China" auf der Hannover Messe treffen sich Xiaolong Hu und Stefan Schostok – zehn Jahre nach ihrer ersten Begegnung in Shanghai. Stefan Schostok, früherer Oberbürgermeister von Hannover, erzählt, wie er die China-Strategie der Stadt systematisch vorantrieb – mit Partnerstädten wie Changde und Shenzhen, Projekten in der dualen Ausbildung und Wissenschaft, und stets dem Leitmotiv: Brücken bauen statt Grenzen ziehen. Heute als Berater tätig, reflektiert er, was deutsch-chinesische Zusammenarbeit wirklich trägt: nicht Verträge, sondern Vertrauen. Nicht Schlagzeilen, sondern Begegnungen. Nicht Abkopplung, sondern Augenhöhe. Ein persönliches und politisch reflektiertes Gespräch über De-Risking, kommunale Außenpolitik und die Frage, was Mittelständler und Entscheider beim ersten China-Besuch wirklich beachten sollten.

What if the decisions that determine your drug's commercial success are already being made and medical affairs isn't in the room? In this episode of Medical Affairs Unscripted, Peg Crowley speaks with Nick Sen, SVP and Practice Lead at Lumanity Medical Affairs Consulting, about the evolving role of medical affairs as a strategic driver in biotech and pharmaceutical development. Drawing on experience across academia, commercial strategy, and market access, Nick explains why early medical engagement is no longer optional even for resource-constrained biotech companies. Instead, it is a critical lever for improving clinical, regulatory, and commercial outcomes. They explore three core pillars of medical affairs impact: De-risking clinical development by shaping the Target Product Profile (TPP) with real-world clinical and stakeholder insight Accelerating regulatory approval through early investigator engagement, site selection, and improved trial enrollment Enabling market access and adoption by building an evidence strategy aligned with payer, provider, and patient needs As scientific innovation accelerates across cell therapies, gene therapies, and complex biologics biotech companies must move beyond a narrow focus on regulatory approval and design development programs for real-world adoption and value demonstration. This episode is essential for biotech executives, medical affairs leaders, and cross-functional teams looking to integrate medical strategy earlier in clinical development and strengthen the probability of successful commercialization.

Bill Powers interviews Adrian O'Brien of Midnight Sun Mining at PDAC in Toronto about the company's copper discovery in the Zambia–DRC copper belt amid competing US- and China-backed rail corridors to access regional copper. O'Brien recounts the company's transformation from a ~$20–25M market cap to ~C$300M after regaining 100% ownership of its flagship Dumbwa target, raising C$10M and later C$30.5M, building institutional support, and hiring COO Kevin Bonel (formerly Barrick) to apply a Lumwana-style exploration approach. Midnight Sun is drilling its 20 km Dumbwa target soil anomaly systematically on a grid with multiple rigs, targeting a large near-surface basement-dome copper system, awaiting many assays, and positioning as an explorer aiming for eventual M&A while also monetizing an oxide resource. https://midnightsunmining.com/ TSXV:MMA OTCQX:MDNGF 00:00 Intro 00:28 Meet Midnight Sun 01:34 From Microcap to Funded 03:29 De Risking the Story 05:14 Africa Copper Hotspot 07:41 Rail Corridors Clash 09:33 Why First Quantum Missed 12:14 Basement Dome Geology 14:37 Valuation and M&A Benchmarks 16:10 Kevin Bonel Joins 18:45 Grid Drilling Like a Major 21:34 Assay Backlog Reality 23:08 Explorer to Sale Strategy 24:12 Data Room Interest 25:09 Methodical Not Boring 26:55 Geology Twists and Bornite 28:29 What Makes a Great Hole 29:56 Lens Model and Grades 31:42 Treasury and Drill Costs 33:42 Financing Discipline 36:22 Assay Turnaround and Visual Core 37:50 Tickers and Contact Info Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Midnight Sun Mining pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

Friedrich Merz hat in Hangzhou das Robotik-Unternehmen Unitree besucht – ein Zentrum chinesischer KI-Entwicklung. Die Roboter dort können Treppen steigen, selbstständig in Hochhäuser vordringen und Brände bekämpfen – und zeigen, wie ernst China den Einsatz von Robotern als Antwort auf sinkende Geburtenraten nimmt.Chinesische Investitionsfonds haben 26 Milliarden Euro in diese Technologie gesteckt – Unitree ist eng mit Xi Jinpings Staatsapparat verbunden.[01:27]Siemens-CEO Roland Busch begleitet die Kanzlerdelegation und beschreibt die Herausforderung nüchtern: China ist kein billiger Zulieferer mehr, sondern ein hochinnovativer, extrem kostensensitiver Markt – und die USA liefern immer wieder neue Zollüberraschungen. Beide Märkte sind für Siemens unverzichtbar, De-Risking sei kein Länder-Thema, sondern ein Prinzip der Diversifizierung. „Entscheidend ist, dass auch wir in Deutschland unseren Beitrag liefern und partizipieren.

Today's episode is the third in a series of three that examine the potential consequences for China if a military operation against Taiwan were to fail. In each of these episodes, we're speaking with authors of a recently published German Marshall Fund study of the possible costs that China would incur across four different, but interrelated areas: the Chinese economy, the military, Chinese social stability, and international costs. The report is titled, “If China Attacks Taiwan” and it is posted on GMFUS.org.  Our podcast today focuses on the potential costs for the Chinese economy.To recap, the study considered two scenarios that could take place in the next five years. In the first scenario, a minor skirmish escalates into a multi-week maritime blockade of Taiwan by China. Although several dozen members of the Chinese and Taiwanese military are killed, U.S. intervention eventually forces China to de-escalate.  In the second scenario, a conflict escalates into a full-fledged invasion, with Chinese strikes on not only Taiwan but also U.S. forces in Japan and Guam. After several months of heavy fighting, Chinese forces are degraded and eventually withdraw after suffering many tens of thousands of casualties.Our guests today are Charlie Vest and Logan Wright, who co-authored the chapter on the implications for the Chinese economy of a failed operation against Taiwan. Logan is a partner at Rhodium Group and leads the firm's work on China's economy and its global impact. Charlie is an associate director at Rhodium Group, where he manages corporate research and advisory work on China.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:34] Key Takeaways: China's Ambitions vs. Economic Realities [05:41] The Escalation Dilemma in China's Decisionmaking[09:56] Immediate Disruptions to Trade and FDI[13:52] Gray-Zone Military Engagement and Political Pressures[16:48] Could Beijing Underestimate the Costs of US Intervention? [24:12] Policy Tools and Limitations for Economic Stabilization and Recovery[27:19] Long-Term Economic Effects[29:24] Impact of Social Instability

He says the ripple effects could impact other names, adding $170 "has to hold" for Nvidia (NVDA).

You may think that seeking investments as an Expat in Ireland is as simple as finding the right advice. In practice, though, the conventional wisdom doesn't always mean the best results for you.In Part 2 of my conversation with Paddy Delaney of Informed Decisions, we get into some of the assumptions many people hold about investing as they move closer to retirement, particularly the idea that “de-risking” automatically means safety. Paddy explains why that conventional wisdom doesn't always stack up in practice, and why understanding volatility, time horizons, and having a proper plan matters far more than simply defaulting into a middle-of-the-road fund.We also spend time on something that comes up constantly in my work with expats: fees, transparency, and how to tell whether you're getting advice or being sold a product. We talk about commission, “free” financial plans, what questions you should be asking before you sign anything, and how easily costs can stay hidden in the background for years if you don't know where to look. This is particularly relevant if you've brought pensions or investments with you from another country and are trying to make sense of how everything fits together in Ireland.If you haven't yet, make sure you listen to Part 1 of my conversation with Paddy for all of his advice about financial planning, and to prepare you for this episode.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Challenging the “De-Risking” Myth Near Retirement: We unpack why automatically moving into lower-risk, middle-of-the-road funds as retirement approaches can actually reduce long-term outcomes, and why volatility isn't necessarily the enemy if you've planned properly.The Importance of Planning Beyond the Investment Product: This is one of those areas where having a real plan matters — we talk about thinking through “what could go wrong,” having other assets to draw on, and avoiding forced decisions at the worst possible time.Advice vs Product Sales: How to Tell the Difference: We explore the key signals that distinguish genuine financial planning from a transactional product sale, including how advisors are paid and why “free” plans are rarely free.Fees, Transparency, and Asking the Right Questions: From hidden charges to headline Annual Management Charges that don't tell the full story, we explain where fees really sit, why expats can get a nasty surprise, and the direct questions you should feel comfortable asking upfront.What Value for Money Actually Looks Like in Financial Advice: We discuss the wide spectrum of service levels in the market, what ongoing advice should include, and why paying more only makes sense if you're genuinely getting engagement, insight, and support in return.Get in touch with Paddy DelaneyWebsite: InformedDecisions.ieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paddy-delaney-qfa-rpa-apa-73778969/Podcast:

In this Crypto Town Hall episode, hosts Scott and Dave discuss Bitcoin's prolonged consolidation around $90K-$92K amid remarkably low volatility and volume, describing it as time-based capitulation with the market awaiting a major catalyst. Panelists explore macro factors including persistent fiscal spending, dollar dilution, booming precious metals (gold nearly doubled, silver more than doubled in 2025), institutional moves like Morgan Stanley's crypto push, and potential capital rotation from gold/silver into Bitcoin and alts. Optimism remains high for 2026 upside driven by liquidity, infrastructure demand, and regulatory clarity, while the group debates risk appetite, fraud cleanup, and the inevitability of higher nominal growth despite near-term sideways action.

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast, I'm sharing with you my favorite topics that didn't quite make it to the podcast this year - mostly a collection of articles that I found interesting and wanted to cover on the podcast, but it never made it to the top of the heap. Today's episode is actually a comment from one of my YouTube videos that I think is an important one to address:  What is a good age to start de-risking in general, in your opinion?

Amanda Cruise interviews Logan Fullmer, a Texas-based investor who specializes in distressed property acquisition and solving complex title problems. Logan shares his journey from blowing a seven-figure inheritance and getting sober, to rebuilding his life in the oil fields and then parlaying small, risk-adjusted land bets into a multi-division commercial real estate business. He breaks down how he finds “unsellable” properties with tax issues, messy heirship, and judgments, then uses common sense negotiation and targeted legal strategies to unlock huge spreads. Logan also explains how he's shortened his deal cycle, when he walks away from overly complicated files, and why he's built a team and education platform to help other investors tackle these “wacky” but lucrative deals at scale.

Key Takeaways: Tariffs, Typhoons, & Turmoil: Derisking the Supply Chain In "Tariffs, Typhoons, & Turmoil: Derisking the Supply Chain with Moody's Andrei Quinn-Barabanov ", Joe Lynch and Andrei Quinn-Barabanov, Moody's lead Supply Chain expert, discuss the need to leverage predictive data and holistic strategies to mitigate complex, interconnected global risks. Financial Resilience Vetting: Supply chain managers must vet the financial health of all partners, not just customers. Use financial services (like Moody's) to assess stability. A stressed supplier is a critical performance risk, especially for industries like automotive and pharma. Geopolitical Planning & Diversification: Geopolitical risk is now a core factor, tied to tariffs and compliance. Aerospace and defense require scenario planning for policy changes and conflicts. Diversify sourcing regions to mitigate sanctions and trade duties. Digital and Physical Security: Threats include both physical cargo theft/freight fraud and sophisticated cyber security breaches targeting operations (OT). An attack on a 3PL or tech supplier (common in high-tech) can halt the chain. Invest in protocols covering digital and physical movement. Ethical & Legal Due Diligence: Pressure is high to ensure clean supply chains. Avoiding companies involved in slavery and/or money laundering requires rigorous checks. Non-compliance is a massive reputational and legal risk for sectors like pharma and energy. Climate-Informed Logistics: Weather risk is rising; use climate science in network design. In regions prone to typhoons or earthquakes, pre-qualify alternative routes, hold strategic buffer stock, and invest in resilient infrastructure. Transparency is Compliance: Achieving transparency and traceability is vital for issues like corruption and ethical sourcing. Modern tools (AI) are essential to trace components. This guarantees provenance for high-tech and ensures regulatory adherence for energy firms. Proactive Risk Modeling: Move beyond reaction to proactive risk modeling. Synthesize data (financial, geopolitical, ethical) to create risk scores for partners. This allows sectors like defense to build resilience by dual-sourcing and stress-testing their networks.  Learn More About Tariffs, Typhoons, & Turmoil: Derisking the Supply Chain Andrei's LinkedIn Moody's Moody's Cyber Report Moody's Auto Report The Logistics of Logistics Podcast If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a positive review, subscribe, and share it with your friends and colleagues.
