Interview with Gordon Neal, President, Domestic Metals Recording date: 9th December 2025Domestic Metals has acquired a promising Montana copper porphyry project from Rio Tinto through an earn-in agreement that highlights the property's significant potential. The company can earn 60% ownership by spending $3.15 million USD on exploration work, with Rio Tinto retaining 40% plus an unusual 20% clawback provision—a protective measure that underscores the major miner's conviction in the project's long-term value.The Smart Creek-Sunrise property occupies compelling geological ground, located 50 kilometers northwest of the historic Butte mine, which has produced 22 billion pounds of copper over a century. The project sits within the same Helena formation geology, with company geologists noting that rocks match Butte's characteristics in age and composition. Rio Tinto drilled 26 of 40 total holes on the property, with results improving progressively from southeast to northwest. The best intercept to date shows 109 meters at 0.75% copper, including 80 meters at 0.97% copper, suggesting drilling was advancing toward rather than away from the porphyry center.President Gordon Neal brings proven credentials, having built MAG Silver from $50 million to $2.5 billion market capitalization and New Pacific Metals from $100 million to $1.5 billion. His track record in capital markets and project development provides credibility to the company's exploration strategy.The company recently raised $4 million to fund comprehensive IP and magnetotelluric geophysical surveys in January-February 2026, followed by 3,000+ meters of drilling starting February-March. Assay results are expected April-May 2026. A critical advantage is Montana's streamlined permitting environment, with drill permits obtained in four months versus 5-7 years in Arizona. The Forest Service recently extended 36 expired drill permits using existing paperwork—unprecedented flexibility that enables rapid, capital-efficient advancement of what could become a significant domestic copper discovery.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Dennis Lindgren, CEO of Black Bear MineralsRecording date: 10th December 2025Black Bear Minerals (ASX:BKB) has completed a strategic transformation from lithium explorer to focused North American precious metals developer, acquiring the Shafter Silver Project in Texas for A$30 million whilst advancing the Independence Gold Project in Nevada. This repositioning positions the company at the intersection of exceptional resource grades, existing production infrastructure, and America's growing recognition of critical mineral supply vulnerabilities.The flagship Shafter Project hosts 17.6 million ounces at 289 grams per tonne silver in foreign resource estimates, ranking amongst the ASX's highest-grade silver resources. CEO Dennis Lindgren, formerly with South32 and Alcoa, emphasises the infrastructure advantage: "It's one of the highest grade silver projects on the ASX. It comes with about 150 million in estimated infrastructure and that includes existing underground workings, existing core sheds as well as historical data." This existing infrastructure—including underground workings, mill circuits, and processing facilities operational until 2013—potentially compresses development timelines by years compared to greenfield competitors.Near-term catalysts centre on JORC-compliant resource conversion targeted for the second half of 2026, supported by A$17 million working capital allocated for drilling programmes. Recent rock chip sampling has returned exceptional grades exceeding 3,000 g/t from near-surface areas outside the current resource footprint, whilst historical stockpile evaluation reveals grades averaging over 300 g/t, suggesting previous operators may have applied inappropriate cutoff grades or overlooked valuable mineralization.Beyond silver-focused historical operations, Black Bear's technical review has identified multicommodity potential including zinc, lead, vanadium, and gold across multiple locations. Lindgren noted: "We're picking up really good levels of zinc and lead that we would consider as targets to go forward with." This creates potential by-product credits that could materially improve project economics whilst expanding exploration vectors beyond current silver-equivalent resource calculations.Silver's designation as a US critical mineral fundamentally alters the strategic context surrounding domestic production projects. America produces approximately 30 million ounces annually whilst consuming over 210 million ounces—importing roughly 85% of requirements despite the metal's critical status for national security and economic competitiveness. Lindgren articulated the supply-demand imbalance: "Having another US domestic asset that can actually supply into those markets we think is something that's very attractive particularly with it being critical now."Jurisdictional advantages strengthen Black Bear's development pathway. Texas ranks within the top five global mining jurisdictions with 20% tax rates, partial permitting already in place, and strong community support in Presidio County. Proximity to major Mexican silver operations ensures access to experienced workforce and established supply chains.Portfolio diversification comes through Independence Gold Project in Nevada, hosting 419,000 ounces of near-surface heap-leachable gold at 0.4 g/t and 980,000 ounces of high-grade skarn mineralisation at 6.67 g/t. The company recently completed 5,000 metres of drilling exceeding planned programmes, with assay results expected in early 2026.Management's measured approach prioritises resource definition and JORC compliance over premature production planning, appropriate given recent acquisition timing. However, the infrastructure leverage and critical mineral designation create optionality for accelerated development should commodity fundamentals, government support, or strategic partnerships materialise. Investors should monitor JORC conversion progress, drilling results from both projects, and infrastructure assessment studies as key milestones determining whether Black Bear can validate its high-grade silver thesis and capitalise on structural supply deficits facing American consumers.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Simon Studer, interim CEO, Kingman MineralsRecording date: 9th December 2025Kingman Minerals Ltd. is advancing plans to revive a 140-year-old gold and silver mine in Arizona's Mohave County, with exploration work set to commence in early 2026. Under the leadership of interim CEO Simon Studer, the company recently completed an oversubscribed $1.5 million financing round that brings total treasury to $2.1 million—sufficient to fund the year's entire exploration program.The Rosebud Mine, discovered in the 1880s and active during the 1920s and 1930s, has yielded remarkably high-grade results in recent sampling. Underground channel samples collected in 2020 revealed values up to 688 grams per ton gold from material left behind by earlier operators. Historical drilling has shown grades ranging from 9-13 grams per ton over 2-meter intervals, though no modern compliant resource estimate currently exists.What makes this opportunity particularly intriguing is that previous operators exclusively focused on the shallow oxide zone above 100 meters depth, never systematically exploring the deeper sulfide mineralization that could represent the bulk of the deposit. The property shows evidence of at least eight distinct sub-parallel vein structures, most of which remain inadequately tested.The 2026 exploration program begins with drone-based magnetometry in mid-December 2025, covering the entire 590-hectare Mohave project area. This geophysical work will provide 3D structural modeling to optimize drill targeting. Drilling is scheduled to begin in Q1 2026, initially testing strike extensions of the two most productive historic veins before expanding to parallel structures.With approximately 42 million shares outstanding and a market capitalization around $4 million, management believes the company is significantly undervalued relative to its high-grade potential and production history. The combination of proven mineralization, systematic modern exploration approach, and 60% insider ownership creates what Studer characterizes as a compelling risk-reward proposition in the junior gold exploration space, particularly given Arizona's favorable mining jurisdiction and existing underground infrastructure.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kingman-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Chris Stevens, CEO, Coda MineralsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/coda-minerals-asxcod-95-recovery-rate-transforms-copper-project-into-tier-1-asset-7833Recording date: 2nd December 2025As global copper markets confront a widening supply deficit, Australian junior Coda Minerals is positioning its Elizabeth Creek Copper-Silver Project as a potential solution to what CEO Chris Stevens describes as an industry crisis. Located in South Australia adjacent to BHP's Carrapateena operation and near the world-class Olympic Dam mine, the project benefits from established infrastructure in a proven mining jurisdiction.The company's economics have transformed dramatically since initial studies. At conservative base case assumptions of $9,260 per tonne copper and $30 per ounce silver, Elizabeth Creek delivers an $855 million post-tax net present value with a 35% internal rate of return. However, with copper currently trading at $11,600 per tonne and silver reaching record levels near $59 per ounce, the post-tax NPV expands to $1.9 billion with a 60% IRR. This compares to Coda's current market capitalisation of approximately $40 million.A fundamental strategic shift underpins this enhanced profile. Coda abandoned its original copper-cobalt-silver flowsheet in favor of a simplified approach focusing exclusively on copper and silver through proven leaching technology. "If you can base the project fundamentally off two commodities with deep liquid markets, you're in a much better shape," Stevens explains. This eliminates the marketing and technical challenges associated with cobalt while employing methods used for roughly 20% of global copper production.With three drill rigs currently on site and a fully funded prefeasibility study targeting completion by end-2026, Coda is systematically de-risking a large, flat-lying orebody spanning 4.5 square kilometers. The recent $12.3 million capital raise was heavily oversubscribed, funding critical hydrogeology drilling, geotechnical work, and mine optimization studies.Stevens articulates the supply challenge starkly: "You need 30 Codas to replace an Escondida. Where are they coming from? Because there are not 30 Codas in Australia." With demand accelerating through electrification and data center expansion while legacy mines deplete, credibly-financed development projects in established jurisdictions occupy an increasingly strategic position in global copper supply chains.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/coda-minerals-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

More than a decade ago—when wind and solar power were far more expensive than they are today—the nation of Uruguay, long plagued by droughts and energy shortages, transitioned its entire economy such that some 98 percent of its electricity now comes from renewable sources. And they did it in just two years. And they used the savings to slash the country's poverty rate from 40 percent into the single digits. Uruguay's conventional-wisdom-busting transformation is one of nine inspiring case studies in the journalist Natasha Hakimi Zapata's Another World Is Possible: Lessons for America from Around the Globe. In August, Drilled spoke with Hakimi Zapata about what lessons climate advocates and policymakers around the world can learn from Uruguay's remarkable transition, why the left should not shy away from articulating the economic case for clean energy, and how many of the progressive policies profiled in the book seem to emerge from moments of crisis.

In this pre-Thanksgiving special, Brock and Dave kick things off with lighthearted banter about the trials of coaching youth basketball and the realities of sports parenting . The conversation soon pivots to a deep dive into the history of American labor. Dave recounts his father's experience during the post-war industrial boom—specifically how Caterpillar once hired 7,000 people in a single week—and contrasts that era with the difficulties of today's automated hiring landscape .A central theme of the episode is the preservation of "Tribal Knowledge," the essential, unwritten skills passed down by veteran workers . The hosts illustrate the value of this knowledge with a story about how Toyota utilized Ford's own abandoned quality manual to revolutionize manufacturing . They apply these lessons to the drilling industry, critiquing the "Johnny" method of unstructured apprenticeship and advocating for a blend of classroom theory and field experience .On the technical front, Dave troubleshoots a client's slow penetration rates, explaining why switching from roller cone to drag bits and using proper fluids is essential . Finally, the duo discusses the massive scaling required for the upcoming geothermal boom, warning new investors that deep pockets cannot bypass the laws of physics or the need for experienced drillers . The episode concludes with a special guest appearance by Brock's 7-year-old son, Bo .

Joined on this episode by two awesome guests. One of my favorite people on the planet in Chief Frank Leeb, and the other one that I am excited to meet and have an awesome conversation with in Kory Pearn.  We plan to talk about all the issues that can blindside us in the fire-service. The mission of Crackyl magazine.  Cancer, Cardiac, Physical fitness. How can we ensure that a young firefighter becomes an old firefighter! an informative conversation and as always the best laid plans of me and my guests was beautifully derailed by the awesome question from the Scrap audience.  

Dr. Robert Quartermain, Co-Chairman, Director and CEO of Dakota Gold (NYSE American: DC), joins me for an exploration and development update from their Richmond Hill Oxide Heap Leach Gold Project. He also outlines the long-term optionality of their Maitland Gold Project.  Both projects are located in the historic Homestake District of South Dakota, near existing mining infrastructure.    Richmond Hill is one of the largest undeveloped oxide gold resources in the United States being advanced by a junior mining company, with over 6 million ounces of gold and over 60 million ounces of silver moving along the pathway of development into heap leach production as soon as 2029. M&I plan identifies 168.3 million tonnes at a grade of 0.566 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) for a total of 2.6 million ounces produced over a 17-year life of mine. MI&I plan identifies 273.7 million tonnes at a grade of 0.530 g/t Au for a total of 3.9 million ounces produced over a 28-year life of mine. Principle Projects are on Private Land which equates to a positive attribute for efficient permitting with State and County organizations.   On November 19th, assay results from 26 drill more holes were reported as part of the ongoing 2025 drilling campaign at the Richmond Hill Project, including the first assays from expansion drilling in the northeast corner of the Project.   Highlights from this update include:   Expansion and infill drill holes in the northeastern corner of the Project area are intersecting significantly higher-grade gold than the average resource grade including RH25C-278 intersecting 1.75 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 19.9 meters (35 gram meters) and RH25C-295 intersecting 2.15 g/t Au over 30.0 meters (65 gram meters). The expansion drilling surrounding the area has the potential to add to the resource based on prior drilling and current resources in the area, and is only limited by drilling and remains open.   Metallurgical drill holes across the northern Project area continue to intercept high-grade gold, de-risking the Project and providing greater confidence in the resource including RH25C-270 intersecting 2.26 g/t Au over 29.2 meters (66 gram meters) and RH25C-288 intersecting 4.15 g/t Au over 14.5 meters (60 gram meters). The metallurgical drilling results demonstrate the low-risk nature of the deposit with widespread mineralization.   Drilling continues to confirm high-grade gold mineralization in the northern portion of Richmond Hill, supporting the Company's plan to prioritize initial mining in this area. Dakota Gold currently has two drills operating on site and expects to complete approximately 27,500 meters (~90,000 feet) of drilling during the 2025 campaign.   Robert highlights how these robust gold and silver resources, site infrastructure, and low cost project economics, point to a low-cost, long-life mining operation that can deliver high margins and generate meaningful revenues.  He points out how the higher grade mineralization in the northeast corner may accelerate the economics and shorten the payback period outlined in the SK 1300 Initial Assessment with Cash Flow earlier this year. Strong Economics: At a base case gold price of $2,350 per ounce, the project has an after tax NPV5% of $1.6 billion and IRR of 55% for the M&I plan, and $2.1 billion and 59% respectively for the MI&I plan. At recent metal prices of $3,350 the NPV5%'s increase to $2.9 billion and IRR of 99% and $3.7 billion and 107%, respectively. Low-Cost: Initial Capital of $384 million, including $53 million contingency, with life of mine All-in Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) averaging $1,047 for M&I plan and $1,050 for MI&I plan.   With the metallurgical drilling for the 2025 campaign now complete, the company is advancing heap leach column testing and looks forward to sharing those results as they are completed.  The company is rapidly advancing its Richmond Hill project toward eventual surface heap leach gold operation as soon as 2029. Building on the robust IACF, ongoing exploration, metallurgical tests, and derisking workstreams will be incorporated into the Feasibility Study planned for completion in early 2027, with construction starting in 2028 and first production targeted for 2029.   At the Maitland Gold Project the Company is currently assessing the exploration data collected to date from the JB Gold Zone and the Unionville Zone with the intent of outlining an initial inferred gold resource. The work is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025. To date the JB Gold Zone has encountered a number of high-grade intersections which average 10.76 g/t Au over 4.0 meters.       If you have any questions for Bob Quartermain regarding Dakota Gold, then please email those in to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dakota Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dakota Gold   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.

Interview with Jean-Marc Lulin, President & CEO of Azimut Exploration Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/azimut-exploration-tsxvazm-kghm-funds-nickel-hunt-as-quebec-explorer-weighs-gold-asset-options-6611Recording date: 21st November 2025Azimut Exploration (TSXV:AZM) is executing a strategic transformation from prospect generator to focused development company, concentrating resources on three 100%-owned gold discoveries in Quebec's prolific mining districts. Jean-Marc Lulin, president and CEO with 40 years of global exploration experience, outlined the company's evolution and provided comprehensive project updates in a recent interview.The flagship Wabamisk property hosts two significant discoveries separated by 15 kilometers of underexplored ground. The Fortin Zone represents one of Canada's largest antimony systems, spanning at least 1.8 kilometers of strike length with mineralized envelopes reaching 50 meters in width. Drilling across 86 holes totaling 12,000 meters has tested the system to 250 meters depth, where strong mineralization continues with the deposit remaining open in multiple directions. Metallurgical testing with SGS is underway, with preliminary results described as encouraging—critical validation for economic viability during a period of elevated antimony prices driven by critical mineral supply constraints.The Rosa Zone emerged as an unexpected breakthrough in terrain explored for 90 years by 11 previous companies. Systematic prospecting revealed 300 meters of outcropping high-grade gold with abundant visible gold—both coarse and fine dust—that correlates strongly with a 1.4-kilometer induced polarization anomaly. Initial drilling intersected visible gold in 11 of 26 holes, with assay results expected by year-end 2025 or early January 2026.The company's third focus, Elmer-Patwon, represents the most advanced asset with an existing resource that benefits from gold prices substantially above the $1,800 per ounce used in the original definition. A scoping study is well advanced, with clear expansion targets identified along strike.Azimut maintains strategic leverage through partnerships, notably with KGHM on the Kukamas nickel-copper-PGE project, where drilling delivered grades up to 19.6% nickel and 15 grams per ton platinum-palladium in a kambalda-type system. KGHM is funding advancement toward a preliminary economic assessment while Azimut retains operator status with no funding obligations.Lulin emphasized the company's technical discipline: "We want to advance as quickly as possible but in a rational way." Detailed 2026 program guidance is expected in Q1 following receipt of critical assay results that will shape resource expansion strategies across the portfolio.View Azimut Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/azimut-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Thomas Lamb, CEO, Myriad UraniumOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/myriad-uranium-csem-200-million-pound-potential-as-rush-merger-delivers-100-project-control-7894Recording date: 19th November 2025Myriad Uranium Corp. is unlocking significant value at its Copper Mountain uranium project in Wyoming through modern analytical techniques that reveal substantially higher uranium grades than historic exploration indicated. CEO Thomas Lamb recently outlined how the company's systematic chemical assaying program has discovered radiometric disequilibrium that shows 50-60% more uranium than conventional gamma probe readings detected during Union Pacific Railway's $85 million exploration campaign in the 1970s.The company recently completed a bought deal financing that raised C$8.6 million, exceeding its C$6 million target, led by Research Capital and Red Cloud Securities. This brings Myriad's cash position to approximately C$10 million, providing capital to expand land holdings, convert historic resources to NI 43-101 compliance, and aggressively drill high-priority targets that remained untested during previous exploration.Central to Myriad's investment thesis is a 1982 U.S. Department of Energy Bendix report identifying a 655 million pound uranium endowment across the broader Copper Mountain area, with 245 million pounds in a core zone where Myriad controls 70% of the acreage. Critically, these estimates only extend to 600 feet depth, while Myriad's recent drilling has encountered uranium mineralization as deep as 1,495 feet with assays exceeding 800 ppm.The chemical assay breakthrough transforms project economics by revealing that much of what Union Pacific classified as waste rock actually contains economic uranium grades. Myriad submitted nearly 800 samples from zones where probes detected little or no uranium, with results showing significant uranium content that expands grade shells while increasing contained metal.Myriad is also pursuing a merger with Rush Rare Metals Corp. to achieve 100% ownership of Copper Mountain, currently owned 50-50, and advancing plans for a U.S. exchange listing to unlock institutional investment. The company has permitted 222 new drill holes and bonded 70 of them, targeting underexplored areas where favorable geological structures suggest multiple additional deposits comparable to Copper Mountain's largest known resource.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/myriad-uraniumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Stephen Hanson, President & CEO of Surface Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/surface-metals-csesur-former-lithium-player-pivots-to-nevada-gold-with-walker-lane-project-7467Recording date: 21st November 2025Surface Metals Inc. (CSE: SUR) has strategically positioned itself across two commodity cycles through its April 2025 acquisition of the Cimarron gold project in Nevada whilst maintaining a diversified lithium portfolio anchored by a 300,000+ ton LCE resource at Clayton Valley, California. This dual-commodity approach provides investors with exposure to gold's current bull market and lithium's structural electrification demand.Following recent meetings on Wall Street and Bay Street, President and CEO Steve Hanson reports renewed institutional appetite for junior and mid-cap mining opportunities. Major banks including JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and HSBC forecast gold reaching $5,000 per ounce in 2026, driven by central bank accumulation, interest rate dynamics, and geopolitical tensions. Simultaneously, lithium markets show stabilisation following the 2023-2024 correction, with institutional interest returning to quality projects.The Cimarron gold project, located in Nevada's prolific Walker Lane trend approximately 35 kilometres south of Kinross's Round Mountain mine, benefits from extensive historical work conducted by Newmont and Echo Bay during the 1980s-1990s. Surface Metals has digitised this historical database and created three-dimensional geological models, positioning the company to commence phase one drilling in early 2026 with clear targeting rationale. The programme aims to confirm historical high-grade intercepts, validate a non-43-101 compliant resource, and expand towards a million-ounce target. Shallow oxide mineralisation suggests potential heap leach processing economics - a lower-cost development pathway relevant for junior companies.Surface Metals' lithium portfolio demonstrates geographic and geological diversification across three projects. The Clayton Valley brine project sits immediately northwest of Albemarle's Silver Peak operation - North America's only producing lithium brine facility operational since 1966. The company targets a preliminary economic assessment in 2026, evaluating direct lithium extraction technology offering faster processing and higher recovery versus traditional evaporation ponds. Neighbouring operator SLB's 2025 demonstration facility successfully produced lithium from similar brine chemistry, de-risking technology application.Fish Lake Valley represents exposure to sedimentary claystone lithium mineralisation, sitting contiguous to Ioneer's Rhyolite Ridge project backed by Ford, Toyota, and Panasonic offtakes with 2026 construction commencement planned. Surface Metals actively seeks joint venture partners to fund initial drilling. In Manitoba, NASDAQ-listed Snow Lake Resources earns into the company's pegmatite project through funded exploration whilst Surface Metals maintains carried interest without capital outlay.Capital efficiency distinguishes Surface Metals' approach. The company has reduced operational costs whilst advancing projects through partnership structures and targeted technical work avoiding dilutive capital raises during unfavourable market conditions. Sector consolidation reduced lithium-focused companies from 200-250 to approximately 60, with Surface Metals amongst survivors maintaining intact portfolio positioning to capture recovery momentum.Management contemplates multiple value realisation pathways including asset sales, joint ventures, or corporate restructuring to separate gold and lithium portfolios. In market conditions where commodities experience distinct cycles, portfolio separation could unlock valuation disparities whilst providing shareholders direct exposure to preferred commodity themes.All projects benefit from tier-one North American jurisdictions with established infrastructure, proximity to operating mines, and relatively streamlined permitting. Nevada exploration permits typically achieved in 90-120 days. As gold supply deficits emerge from major producers exhausting high-grade reserves, and lithium supply security achieves strategic priority, Surface Metals' portfolio positioning addresses structural market dynamics favouring quality junior mining opportunities in premier jurisdictions.View Surface Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/acme-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/dryden-gold-tsxvdry-centerra-backed-explorer-targets-district-scale-gold-in-ontario-8109Recording date: 17th November 2025Dryden Gold Corp (TSXV: DRY) has emerged as a compelling strategic acquisition target in Ontario's gold sector following successful execution of its 2025 exploration program and explicit endorsement from major mining company partners. The company controls 70,000 hectares in northwest Ontario hosting multiple high-grade gold discoveries across four distinct mineralization types, with fully funded drilling planned for 2026 under management explicitly targeting a Great Bear Resources-style exit.The investment thesis centers on systematic district-scale exploration designed to attract strategic buyers rather than pursue standalone mine development. Recent drilling fundamentally reshaped the geological understanding at the Gold Rock target area, revealing nine interconnected high-grade structures within a 300-meter span—including intercepts of 300 grams per ton over 3.9 meters and 55 grams per ton over 3.5 meters—connected by continuous one gram per ton mineralization. This discovery transformed what appeared to be isolated veins into an integrated system where lower-grade material provides economic continuity while high-grade shoots create exploration upside.Strategic validation provides perhaps the most compelling near-term catalyst. Centerra Gold invested in 2024 and has explicitly directed management to continue district-scale exploration rather than focus exclusively on infill drilling at known high-grade zones. Alamos Gold maintains similar engagement, while additional confidentiality agreements with unnamed major and mid-tier mining companies indicate active corporate interest. These sophisticated mining companies endorse the systematic approach because it generates the comprehensive geological understanding and high-quality data they require for acquisition decisions.The technical team significantly de-risks execution. President Maura Kolb led the Red Lake mine exploration team for five years, managing 90 personnel and a $50 million annual budget while reducing finding costs from $500 to $50 per ounce. Her major-mine experience directly informs Dryden's exploration protocols including oriented core drilling, 100% core assaying, and property-wide geochemical surveys—practices that distinguish systematic explorers from promotion-focused juniors. Kolb's team discovered the hanging wall structures specifically because they assayed all rock types rather than only visible quartz veins.The property's geological diversity creates multiple value pathways. Beyond the Archean lode gold system at Gold Rock—which Kolb compares directly to Red Lake geology—the company has confirmed intrusive-related mineralization at Sherridon, granite diorite-hosted stockwork at Hyndman analogous to NexGold's 1.5-million-ounce Goliath Gold project, and VMS-style mineralization elsewhere. CEO Trey Wasser characterizes this as a "Timmins-like camp" where exceptional gold endowment manifests across multiple geological settings, creating optionality for project-specific joint ventures or staged transactions.Infrastructure advantages reduce development risk and enhance acquisition appeal. Highway 502 provides direct access from Sherridon through Gold Rock to the town of Dryden, while the Trans-Canada Highway accesses Hyndman. Both regional projects have been clear-cut for logging, creating existing access roads. The northwest Ontario location provides political stability, established mining regulations, available contractors and skilled labor, and proximity to operating mines including Red Lake—attributes that command premium valuations as mining companies reassess exposure to jurisdictions with increasing political risk.Dryden enters 2026 fully funded from August 2025 financing to complete 20,000-25,000 meters of drilling, with approximately 50% dedicated to Gold Rock expansion and the remainder advancing multiple district targets. At $4,000 gold, the company offers leveraged exposure to exploration success, strategic transaction, or both, backed by partner validation and systematic technical approach designed specifically for strategic buyer requirements.View Dryden Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/dryden-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The COP is in its fourth decade. If it were capable, in its current form, of achieving its stated aim of tackling climate change, it would probably have done so by now. So why isn't it working? How is it possible that so much fanfare, so many words, and so much work—much of it genuine and good-faith—has amounted to such little progress? University of Toronto political science professor Jessica F. Green has some ideas. In Existential Politics: Why Global Climate Institutions Are Failing and How to Fix Them, the longtime observer of global climate negotiations and expert on carbon accounting argues that the COP embodies a “win-win” approach to a problem for which someone has to lose. The challenge, then, is to make sure the right people (and planet) do the winning, while the “fossil asset owners,” as Green describes them, do the losing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Interview with Scott Caithness, Managing Director of Hawk Resources Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/hawk-resources-asxhwk-new-exploration-model-revitalises-historic-utah-mining-district-6860Recording date: 12th November 2025Hawk Resources (ASX:HWK) is preparing to drill its flagship Cactus copper-gold project in Utah this December, targeting five high-priority prospects in a historically productive mining district. Managing Director Scott Caithness recently outlined the company's systematic exploration approach and the multiple pathways to value creation at this advanced-stage project.The Cactus district boasts an impressive mining heritage, with the original mine operating between 1905 and 1920, producing 1.3 million tons at 2% copper with gold credits of 0.3 grams per ton and 6-7 grams per ton silver. Modern exploration has validated this potential, with Rio Tinto's previous work intersecting 42 meters at 1.9% copper and 0.6 g/t gold, while multiple historical drill holes have exceeded 1.4% copper grades.Hawk has employed a sophisticated dual-track strategy, identifying both deep geophysical targets with district-scale potential and near-surface oxide mineralization that could provide rapid development opportunities. The company's comprehensive geophysical surveys and systematic soil sampling—the first conducted over these targets - have defined five priority drill targets ranked by geological confidence.The Copperopolis target exemplifies the project's exploration potential, featuring a massive geophysical anomaly with surface soils returning up to 1,000 ppm copper. A 1974 drill hole off the anomaly's edge intersected 30 meters at 0.2% copper, yet the core remains untested with potential for substantial mineralization.With A$5 million recently raised and Utah permitting expected by end-November 2025, Hawk is fully funded for its 12-hole drilling program. Initial assay results are anticipated in Q1 2026, providing regular newsflow through the critical discovery phase.Beyond Cactus, the company has secured the Olympus scandium project in Western Australia, featuring a 4km x 7km soil anomaly grading over 500ppm scandium. This provides significant optionality in an emerging critical mineral with growing aerospace and defense applications, currently valued at approximately $3-3.5 million per ton.View Hawk Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/alderan-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm to hit the Caribbean in modern times, left a wake of destruction in Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti that will take years to recover from. A Jamaican climate physics professor describes the toll of this climate catastrophe, and a meteorologist joins us to explain how the storm grew so ferocious in the blink of a hurricane's eye.   Also, Gwich'in Alaska Natives, which consider the land of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge sacred and local Porcupine Caribou as relatives, are expressing alarm at how renewed prospects of drilling in this fragile environment could upend their world.  And the Pacific Northwest of the US harbored a serial killer hotspot of sorts in the 1970s, associated with the neurotoxin lead. Seattle-born author Caroline Fraser explores this link in her book Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers. She discusses how dangerously high lead exposure from smelters and gasoline may have led to the increase of violence and murders in the region. ---  Federal funding for public radio has ended.

Today's Headlines: The fragile Gaza ceasefire is officially over after 18 days, with Israel launching new airstrikes in Rafah after claiming Hamas fired rockets and mishandled the return of hostage remains. Hamas still holds the bodies of 13 hostages, and the stalled recovery effort is blocking the next phase of negotiations — including disarmament and postwar governance. Meanwhile, the U.S. carried out deadly strikes on boats off Colombia's coast, killing 14 people; Mexico's president condemned the attack as a breach of international law. Back home, Trump's legal team is appealing his 34 felony convictions from the hush money case, arguing the trial violated his supposed immunity. A federal judge extended an order blocking the administration from firing federal employees during the shutdown, which continues to drag on. ICE is seeing a wave of leadership purges as the White House pushes for higher deportation numbers, and Trump just greenlit over 1.5 million acres of Alaska's Arctic refuge for oil drilling, reversing Biden-era protections and alarming conservationists. Globally, the U.N. warned that the world will “inevitably” overshoot the 1.5°C warming target, while Bill Gates called for a “strategic pivot” away from limiting warming toward reducing poverty and disease instead. Hurricane Melissa slammed Jamaica as a catastrophic Category 5 storm — one of the strongest in Atlantic history — and Trump's Truth Social is launching Truth Predict, a crypto betting platform for everything from sports to elections, because of course it is.

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and former Wall Street Journal publisher Karen Elliott House, author of the new book The Man Who Would Be King: Mohammed bin Salman and the Transformation of Saudi Arabia, talks to Adam Lowenstein about how Saudi Arabia has changed under the crown prince; whether MBS's gamble on economic and social freedoms alongside civil and political repression is politically—or environmentally—sustainable; how Saudi Arabia's oil and petrochemical industries serve its geopolitical interests; and why the kingdom's promises about transitioning away from fossil fuels might be a bit less green than climate advocates would hope.
