Chad Peters of Ridgeline Mineral provides an overview of the approved drill campaign at the Swift Project in Nevada, with their partners Nevada Gold Mines. NGM has approved a 2025 exploration budget of up to US $5,000,000. The drill program will build off the success of the 2024 framework drilling campaign where both holes delivered significant gold intercepts in the SW Swift target.

Star Copper Corp CEO Darryl Jones joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's ongoing 2025 drill program at its flagship Star Project in British Columbia's renowned Golden Triangle. The latest results, particularly from Hole C, build confidence in the continuity of copper mineralization at depth and support the presence of a large-scale porphyry copper system across the broader deposit area. The current drill campaign is targeting both lateral and vertical extensions of mineralized zones identified in over $10 million of historical exploration, including copper-gold intercepts from prior drill holes. The company is focusing on the Star Main zone, a 500-by-500 metre geochemical target, along with two adjacent targets—Star North and Star East—which show similar geophysical and geochemical signatures. All three areas are within a three-kilometre corridor that the company believes may represent a larger porphyry cluster. Jones also discussed ongoing fieldwork to prepare drill pads and trails, including at a grassroots area called Copper Creek. He emphasised that the Star Project is accessible year-round, which allows for sustained activity through late in the year. The 2025 campaign includes up to 4,000 metres of drilling across six primary holes (A through F). With Holes A, B, and C now complete and samples regularly being sent for assaying, crews are nearing the halfway mark in the program. Meanwhile, surface fieldwork continues in parallel, with mapping and trenching supporting drill targeting and geological interpretation. Star Copper is also benefitting from a recently extended Multi-Year Area-Based exploration permit, which allows for up to 200 holes, 5 km of roads, and expanded surface trenching. This regulatory greenlight significantly enhances the company's flexibility and capacity for future drill programs across the expansive property. Jones emphasized that these developments mark an exciting phase for Star Copper as it works to systematically unlock the full potential of a prospective, copper-rich porphyry system in one of Canada's most prolific mining regions. #proactiveinvestors #starcoppercorp #cse #stcu #otcqx #stcuf #CopperMining #CriticalMinerals #StarCopperCorp #DarrylJones #MineralExploration #DrillProgram #PorphyryDeposit #GreenTechMetals #ResourceInvesting #CanadianMining #JuniorMining #MiningUpdates

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review the value proposition that has his attention in the 3 gold exploration companies, that have compelling drill targets, large strategic shareholders, and the potential for rapid upside moves if they make more compelling discoveries while expanding resources.     >> The companies we discussed in the interview are:   Headwater Gold Inc. (CSE: HWG, OTCQB: HWAUF) announced July 22nd that it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with a subsidiary of OceanaGold Corporation (TSX: OGC, OTCQX: OCANF). The parties propose to enter into a definitive agreement within 90 days for OceanaGold to acquire an option to earn up to a 75% interest in Headwater's TJ, Jake Creek and Hot Creek projects in Nevada through staged exploration expenditures totalling up to US$65,000,000 and the completion of Pre-Feasibility Studies.   Additionally, Headwater Gold announced on July 24th that drill permitting has advanced through the formal public scoping phase on Headwater's Lodestar project, located in western Nevada. Project scoping marks a significant step toward securing final drilling approval following the submission of a Plan of Operations to undertake a proposed 3,500-metre drill program. The Lodestar project is being explored in partnership with Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT, ASX: NEM) through an earn-in agreement announced on May 9, 2023.   Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (FSE: T6UP) (OTCID: EQTRF) – On July 17th announced the mobilization of a diamond drill rig to the Cajueiro gold Project, in Brazil. Drilling will initially focus on testing depth and lateral extensions to the recently defined maiden mineral resource at Maria Bonita, followed by the drill testing of several recently identified porphyry targets within the Cajueiro district.   The company is cashed up for this exploration program after having raised $5.28 Million in a non-brokered Private Placement announced on July 2nd.   Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQB: CBGZF) announced today the results of an updated Prefeasibility Study ("Updated PFS") on the development of near-surface gold-in-oxide material at the Cuiú Cuiú gold district in Brazil.   (we had recorded this interview yesterday and were unaware that this news would drop literally the next day, but this PFS shows the value proposition Erik outlined in the plan to develop and mine the saprolite for gold and earlier on cash flows from production to feed the exploration).   The Updated PFS, led by Ausenco do Brasil Engenharia Ltda. ("Ausenco"), resulted in significant improvements to the amount of gold produced, mine life, Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return. These results confirm the Cuiú Cuiú gold-in-oxide starter project provides a high return and a low capital entry point to mine gold, with production possible within 12 months from an investment decision.     * In full disclosure, some companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow Erik's analysis over at The Hedgeless Horseman website

Underground mining operations are some of the most complex and high-risk environments in the world. Add manual data entry, paper-based systems, and last-minute approvals—and the process of blasting and drilling becomes even more chaotic. In this episode of Mining NOW, host Jerrod Downey talks with Sophie Clayton, Product Manager at Orica Digital Solutions, about how the company is changing that narrative.

Interview with Kiran Patankar, President & CEO of Maple Gold MinesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/maple-gold-mines-tsxvmgm-turnaround-100-ownership-46-leaner-and-agnico-at-its-side-7230Recording date: 18th July 2025Maple Gold Mines (TSXV: MGM) has emerged as a compelling exploration story in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt following the successful completion of its most substantial drilling program in nearly two years. The company's 2025 winter drilling campaign at its flagship Douay Gold Project delivered exceptional results that validate management's strategy to build a multi-million ounce gold district.The 12,240-meter program achieved a remarkable 100% success rate, with gold mineralization intersected in all 21 holes while coming in under budget at $300 per meter versus $400 budgeted. Standout results included 4.87 g/t gold over 15 meters in the 531 Zone and 2.21 g/t gold over 31 meters in the Nika Zone, representing significant step-outs that extend mineralization 200-600 meters below current resource pit shells.President and CEO Kiran Patankar emphasized the systematic approach: "When you have consistency, when you hit gold in every hole, when you are doing bolder stepouts... having 100% success rate while executing properly, being under budget, having a great cost saving and safety performance, all that stuff is important when you have a major partner."Maple Gold currently controls over 3 million ounces of gold resources at Douay, positioning it among fewer than 20 companies that fully own multi-million ounce projects in Canada. The company is targeting expansion to 5 million ounces through continued exploration, with both high-grade zones remaining open in multiple directions.The development strategy balances scale with economics, envisioning an initial 100,000-150,000 ounce annual operation that leverages current gold prices above $3,300 per ounce. Following restructuring to 100% ownership, Maple Gold maintains strategic partnership benefits with Agnico Eagle while gaining operational control for more efficient capital deployment. With a resource update planned by year-end 2025 and potential preliminary economic assessment by early 2026, the company is well-positioned to advance toward development in Quebec's premier mining jurisdiction.View Maple Gold Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/maple-gold-mines-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this KE Report company update, I'm joined by Simon Dyakowski, President and CEO of Aztec Minerals (TSX.V:AZT - OTCQB:AZZTF), to discuss the July 17th news release on the drill program and ownership at the Tombstone Project in Arizona. Key Highlights: First seven holes completed in the current drill program, totaling just over 1,200 meters, focused on the Southern Extension Zone along the Contention structure. Follow-up drilling around last year's high-grade silver discovery (highlight: 569 g/t silver equivalent over 26 meters). Ownership increased to 85% after JV partners partially participated in recent work, moving Aztec closer to potential full control. Overview of the 5,000-meter blended RC and diamond drill program, including plans for deeper core holes targeting CRD-style mineralization. Expected assay turnaround in approximately four weeks, with updates anticipated in early August. Simon also explains the joint venture structure, dilution process, and the exploration strategy as the team advances this largest drill program to date at Tombstone.

FireFly Metals Ltd (ASX:FFM, TSX:FFM, OTC:MNXMF) managing director Steve Parsons takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the latest drill results from the Green Bay project and their implications for the company's upcoming resource upgrade. Parsons highlighted that recent infill drilling at Green Bay has delivered some of the project's highest-grade results to date, including intercepts such as 11 metres at 9% copper equivalent, with 6% copper and 4 grams of gold. He noted that this enhanced consistency and grade across the ore body is expected to support a larger measured and indicated resource, which is due for release later in the year. "You should see grade increasing, and of course, you're seeing consistency throughout the ore body," Parsons explained. Parsons also outlined Firefly's current exploration strategy, with eight rigs active on site. Four rigs are focused on infill drilling to grow the current 24 million tonne resource into the 30–50 million tonne range. Two more are conducting step-out drilling to expand the resource footprint, while two surface rigs are targeting underexplored regional areas. He emphasised that with capital raising now completed, drilling activity is ramping up again. Investors can expect a steady stream of results from all three workstreams over the coming weeks.

I'm joined by Mike Burke, Director and VP of Corporate Development at Sitka Gold (TSX.V:SIG - OTCQB:SITKF - FRE:1RF), for an update on the 30,000-meter drill program at the RC Gold Project in Yukon, following the July 10th news release. Key highlights from the interview: All 9 holes at the Rhosgobel target have intersected visible gold, with mineralization confirmed across 250 meters of strike and to 350 meters depth. Positioning Rhosgobel as a strong candidate for Sitka's third gold deposit. The Saddle zone, situated between the Blackjack and Eiger deposits, is also returning visible gold. Drilling here could add ounces within existing conceptual pit limits, enhancing project economics by lowering the strip ratio. Assays are pending, with initial results from Blackjack and Eiger expected in the coming weeks and Rhosgobel assays to follow shortly after. The program is ahead of schedule and under budget, with drilling costs at ~$350/m. A potential resource update is targeted for Q1 2026, depending on assay results and drill density at new zones. If you have any follow up questions for Mike please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.  Click here visit the Sitka Gold website to learn more about the Company.

To find the first geothermal power plant in the world you have to go to Tuscany, Italy in the early twentieth century. The creation of the first geothermal power plant was thanks to Prince Piero Ginori Conti of Trevignano. Conti initially worked for his father-in-law Florestano de Larderel in the processing of boric acid. It was through this work that Conti eventually found his way into geothermal energy with the creation of the first geothermal energy generator in 1904. Based at the Lardorello dry steam field, Conti's generator was able to produce 10 kW of energy and power five light bulbs. From these humble beginnings, the geothermal potential of Lardorello was expanded in 1911. In an area known as the Devil's Valley the world's first geothermal power plant was completed in 1913. In this episode we talk with John Clegg of Hephae Energy on his career path from drilling oil and gas wells to developing drill bits and drilling tools for hot, dry rock for enhanced geothermal systems. Technology developed for unconventional oil and gas reservoirs may be the inspiration for this new industry. Innovation at work.ReferencesHephae Energy Technology https://www.linkedin.com/company/hephae-energy-technology/IADC Geothermal Well Classificaiton https://iadc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IADC-Geothermal-Well-Classification-v1.pdf

Glenn Jessome, President and CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX.V:SLVR – OTCQX:SLVTF), joins me to outline the importance of the imminent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on the underground mine at their 100% owned, silver-gold El Tigre Project in Mexico. We then expand the conversation to highlight some upcoming blue-sky regional drilling that the exploration team will commence this fall around the La Protectora historic mine on trend with El Tigre. Wrapping up we also have Glenn separate the facts from the media hyperbole as it relates to mining and permitting in Mexico.   With the open-pit Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) solidly in place at El Tigre, and the operations team ready to hit the ground running just as soon as the final permits are received, the focus then shifted to building towards the upcoming PEA on the underground mine. The team has been compiling the last 5 years of work delineating the 113 million ounces of silver equivalent resources in the high-grade veins, shale, and sulphide zones underground portion of El Tigre, the metallurgical studies, and engineering work to be able to release the PEA by month's end.  This report will center around the already permitted underground scenario utilizing an 800 tonnes-per-day (tpd) mill, and focusing on the initial first 10 years of mine life.   Glenn points out that during the PFS study on their open pit at El Tigre, that the 3rd-party qualified contractor noted when also reviewing their underground resources that they could add between 73-100 million more ounces simply by tightening up the drilling density in a number of areas.  We discuss the clear expansion potential beyond what will be highlighted in these initial economics.   Next we widened the vision of the company to their large district scale land position and how El Tigre is focused on just 2.5kms of a 20+ kilometer trend, peppered with a number of historically producing mines to both the south and the north.  The board has decided the time is right to step out and start doing regional exploration at the next key target of interest; around the La Protectora mine, located to the north of El Tigre.  Glenn mentioned that their exploration team has been on site there for the last couple months, mapping, sampling, and doing some targeting work to be able to start drilling there this Fall.   Wrapping up we focus on the misunderstandings from investors and the media with regards to the operational and permitting environment in Mexico, how the positive meetings between the government and mining companies have been ignored, and why the hyperbolic statements from some market commentators and the media have made a big deal about the “no new concessions” will be granted, not understanding the most mining concessions have already been granted for tens or hundreds of years now, so that won't really matter, and doesn't have anything to do with permitting on existing concessions.       If you have any follow up questions for Glenn about Silver Tiger, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Silver Tiger Metals 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 Silver Tiger Metals  

Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins me to discuss the final set of assay results released from its Resource Expansion Program showing significant width and high-grade silver and gold drill intercepts in step-out drilling at its 100% owned Tonopah West Project in Nevada, United States.     Blackrock's resource expansion program at Tonopah West, which commenced in September 2024, consisted of 18 drillholes totalling 10,802 meters (35,438 feet) of drilling, targeted expansion potential along a one-kilometer northwest trend between the Denver-Paymaster and Bermuda-Merten vein groups ("DPB") south resource area and the Northwest (NW) Step Out resource area.   HIGHLIGHTS:   TXC25-144 cut 10.12 metres grading 467 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) (283 g/t silver (Ag) & 2 g/t gold (Au)), including 3.51 metres of 1,020 g/t AgEq (620 g/t Ag & 4.43 g/t Au); TXC25-145 encountered multiple zones of high-grade mineralization which included 0.67 metres of 3,264 g/t AgEq (2,008 g/t Ag & 13.93 g/t Au) within 11.58 metres grading 327 g/t AgEq (186 g/t Ag & 1.56 g/t Au) and 2.32 metres grading 401 g/t AgEq (242 g/t Ag & 1.76 g/t Au); TXC25-153 drilled 0.7 metres of 724 g/t AgEq (437 g/t Ag & 3.18 g/t Au) within 5.73 metres of 156 g/t AgEq (96 g/t Ag & 0.67 g/t Au); Step-out drilling has established continuity of high-grade gold & silver mineralization over significant widths that runs 500 metres along drill-defined strike from the existing DPB resource shell to the northwest; and Targeting is now underway to bridge mineralization on remaining 500 metres of vein corridor to NW Step Out resource area.   We review that in addition to higher confidence ounces, where there is now tighter drill spacing and ounces are going to be moving into the measured and indicated categories from inferred, that the resources will be growing in size, raising the overall high-grade deposit to even higher average grades, and there is more up-dip mineralization that will be factoring into the early year economics of the Project.     These various data points will be incorporated into the upcoming updated resource estimate incorporating the M&I drilling due out by September, and then there will be a second resource update early next year that incorporates all the expansion drilling towards the NorthWest Step Out, and the Eastern Expansion area off DPB South towards the Ohio mine area.   After both resources have been released, then all of that data, combined with recent hydrology work, permitting work, and other derisking will be factored into an updated PEA.   We wrap up discussing the larger vision to get permitted to go underground and start working a trial mining study, where the bulk sample should be sizeable, and will verify assumptions on geology, ground conditions, recovery rates, and will be a payable event from the processed mineralized material.  These various catalysts are all opportunities for the company to rerate higher, in addition to just rerating more in alignment with the metrics the handful of other high-grade silver peers are receiving at present.     If you have any follow up questions for Andrew regarding Blackrock Silver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is shareholder of Blackrock Silver at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to visit the Blackrock Silver website to read over the recent news we discussed.

What do a luxury wristwatch and a 50-foot-long aerospace weldment have in common? They're both precision-machined, but that's where the similarities end.  In this episode of MakingChips, we're exploring the extremes of manufacturing—from parts that fit on the tip of your finger to parts so massive they require cranes and riggers just to load onto a machine. Paul Van Metre and Mike Payne are joined by two guests who represent the far ends of the machining scale. Josh Hacko, a fourth-generation watchmaker from Sydney, Australia, crafts ultra-small and ultra-precise components for timepieces and high-tech applications like quantum computing and medical implants.  On the other end, Jerry from Baker Industries in Michigan oversees the fabrication and machining of massive weldments and structural components for aerospace, defense, and nuclear energy—some measuring over 50 feet and weighing tens of tons. This episode dives deep into the radically different strategies each shop uses for tooling, fixturing, inspection, quoting, and problem-solving. From tea strainers used to sort microscopic parts to massive additive weld builds handled by 30-ton cranes, it's a fascinating look at how scale transforms every aspect of the job. If you've ever wondered how much machining can vary across the industry, this conversation will expand your view.

Interview with Hayden Locke, CEO and President, Marimaca Copper Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/marimaca-copper-tsxmari-big-discovery-adds-high-grade-scale-7123Recording date: 3rd July, 2025Marimaca Copper Corp has announced a potentially transformational discovery at its Pampa Medina project in Chile's Atacama Desert, with drilling results intersecting some of the highest-grade copper mineralization reported in recent Chilean exploration. The Vancouver-based company's breakthrough drilling campaign has revealed exceptional high-grade copper intersections that represent a rare geological occurrence in Chile.The standout result from hole SMRD-13 delivered 6 meters of 12.0% copper from 594 meters downhole within a broader 26 meters of 4.1% copper, with mineralization consisting primarily of bornite and chalcopyrite hosted in sedimentary units. President and CEO Hayden Locke emphasized the pure copper nature of the discovery, noting "that's all copper. There's no byproducts. There's no gold. There's no silver included in that."What makes this discovery particularly significant is its geological classification as a sediment-hosted manto system, which is exceptionally rare in Chile. VP Exploration Sergio Rivera, with four decades of Chilean copper exploration experience, compared the deposit to world-class systems: "Sergio says he's never seen a deposit like this other than in very small areas in Chile. So his view is that it's much more analogous to the Kupfershiefer in Poland and Germany and then the African sedimentary copper basin."The drilling campaign has successfully defined high-grade mineralization across a 600-meter east-west by 1,000-meter north-south area, with further drilling indicating potential extensions to 1.4 kilometers by 1.2 kilometers. The company achieved a remarkable hit rate, with five out of seven drill holes intersecting high-grade mineralized zones across broad step-out spacing.Despite this exceptional discovery, Marimaca maintains disciplined capital allocation, prioritizing advancement of its Marimaca Oxide Deposit to production while allocating increased exploration budget to define Pampa Medina's full potential. The project benefits from exceptional infrastructure positioning, with proximity to existing mines, powerlines, water pipelines, and minimal permitting risks in Chile's established mining region.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/marimaca-copperSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Mike Burke, Director and VP of Corporate Development, returns to provide an exploration update from the ongoing 30,000-meter drill program at the RC Gold Project in the Yukon's Tombstone Gold Belt. Key Theme: Sitka hits 211m of 1.13 g/t Au, including 73m of 2.04 g/t Au, at the Blackjack Deposit – the first hole of its summer drill program.   Discussion Highlights: Summer Drill Results Begin: Hole 77 delivers strong results from the Blackjack Zone, validating expansion potential with broad and higher-grade intercepts. 3-Zone Strategy: Sitka is advancing drilling across Blackjack, Saddle, and Eiger zones - 15,000m allocated - plus targeting Rhosgobel with 10,000m. Deep Expansion Potential: Winter Hole 76 extended deeper into mineralization; Sitka is building out an underground model to complement near-surface ounces. Early Assay Progress: Over 10,000m drilled across 23 holes - completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Company has the flexibility and cash to expand beyond 30,000m. Rhosgobel Discovery: First three holes in this year's program show visible gold, following last year's 119m of 1.05 g/t Au in first-ever diamond drilling at this target. Lab Turnaround & Yukon Activity: Assay delays are building as multiple companies ramp up big programs, but Sitka uses visible gold to guide ongoing drilling.   If you have any follow up questions for Mike please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.  Click here visit the Sitka Gold website to learn more about the Company.

In this company update, I'm joined by Tara Christie, President and CEO of Banyan Gold (TSX.V:BY - OTCQB:BYAGF), to discuss the June 25th drill results from the Airstrip Deposit at the AurMac Gold Project in Yukon. After focusing much of the recent drill work at the Powerline Deposit, Banyan is revisiting Airstrip - the original discovery zone - with near-surface, high-grade results. Highlights include: 38 meters of 3.8 g/t gold, 16 meters of 9.32 g/t gold, and 28 meters of 1.3 g/t gold starting just 10 meters from surface. Tara explains how recent metallurgical testing (90–93% recoveries) supports a future mill-based operation, making Airstrip more economically viable than initially assessed. The company is now actively stepping out to the north, east, and west, tracing a felsic dyke contact zone believed to be linked to higher grades.   Key topics covered: The evolving role of the Airstrip Deposit in the overall resource model. How real-time data modeling is optimizing drill targeting. Drilling strategy adjustments with over 18,000 meters completed out of a planned 30,000+ meter program. Exploration potential at depth and between Powerline and Airstrip, including follow-up of geophysical targets.

Interview with Kiran Patankar – President, CEO & Director, Maple Gold Mines Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/maple-gold-mines-tsxvmgm-drill-results-show-path-to-5moz-resource-7008Recording date: 4 May 2025Maple Gold Mines has emerged as a compelling turnaround story in Quebec's premier Abitibi gold region, demonstrating how operational discipline and strategic partnerships can unlock value in today's elevated gold price environment. Under CEO Kiran Patankar's leadership over the past 18 months, the Canadian exploration and development company has transformed from what he describes as "a stagnant and somewhat bloated company" into an efficient operation positioned for growth.The operational restructuring has been dramatic. General and administrative costs have been slashed by 46%, with the company now operating on just $150,000 monthly cash burn while delivering improved exploration results. Drilling efficiency has improved 25%, reducing costs from $400 to $300 per meter and allowing expanded programs within existing budgets. These improvements have translated into renewed market interest, with daily trading volumes increasing from 150,000 to over 600,000 shares following recent drill results.Central to Maple Gold's value proposition is its strategic partnership with Agnico Eagle, one of Canada's premier gold producers and the company's largest shareholder. This relationship provides technical expertise, potential processing solutions, and validation of project quality. "It's a benefit to Maple and Maple shareholders to have the strong partnership that we have," Patankar noted, emphasizing the alignment of interests.The company owns 100% of 3 million ounces of gold resources across district-scale projects in Quebec's Abitibi region, representing a significant shift from previously owning only 50% of assets. Recent drilling has demonstrated expansion potential, with systematic exploration targeting both near-mine growth and district-scale discoveries.Perhaps most intriguingly, Maple Gold is pursuing a dual strategy of continued exploration alongside development studies for smaller-scale production scenarios of 100,000-150,000 ounces annually. This approach could generate cash flow to self-fund future exploration, breaking the traditional junior mining cycle of continuous dilution.Trading at $8 per ounce with a $40 million market cap despite gold prices above $3,300, Maple Gold appears significantly undervalued compared to historical metrics when the company traded at $150 million with only 50% asset ownership at $1,800 gold prices.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/maple-gold-mines-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Brent Minchew is Co-Founder, Executive Director, and Chief Scientist at Arête Glacier Initiative, a new nonprofit launched to close the gap between frontier glaciology research and actionable sea-level forecasts—and to probe whether “brake-tapping” inside Antarctic glaciers can slow their slide into the sea. Brent explains why current models still span 1–6 feet of rise by 2100—even if Paris targets are met—and how melting glaciers, especially Antarctica's so-called “Doomsday Glacier,” drive that uncertainty. He details why glaciology remains drastically underfunded, how sea-level changes already threaten coastal economies via insurance markets, and where Arête's first $5 million in philanthropic capital is going. He also walks through early-stage solutions—from thermo-siphons that passively refreeze ice to pumping sub-glacial water—that could “hit the brakes” on glacier flow and buy humanity time for deep decarbonization.In this episode, we cover: [03:45] Launching Arête to bridge glacier science and solutions[05:38] Inside the “doomsday glacier” and its global risk[07:18] Why Thwaites may collapse even if we hit climate goals[09:51] Sea level rise: Millions displaced per inch[12:41] The silent crisis of glacial melt[13:28] Economic ripple effects of rising seas[15:53] What Larsen B's collapse taught us[20:04] Arête's model: Philanthropy + global research[22:51] Advancing glacier tech through TRL stages[25:45] How Antarctica is governed[35:28] Refreezing glaciers with thermo-siphons[45:00] Drilling costs vs. seawalls: Where's the value?Episode recorded on May 14, 2025 (Published on June 2, 2025) Enjoyed this episode?
