Zak Mir talks to Stafford Masie, Executive Chairman, and Warren Wheatley, CEO, Africa Bitcoin Corporation, which is set to list on the Aquis Exchange. I sat down with Stafford Maisy, Executive Chairman, and Warren Wheatley, CEO of Africa Bitcoin Corporation to understand how a South African financial services group plans to combine an established SME lending business with a Bitcoin treasury strategy. What follows is a clear view of their thesis, the mechanics behind the plan, and why they believe Africa is the ideal place for a Bitcoin-first corporate treasury. What is Africa Bitcoin Corporation? Africa Bitcoin Corporation is the first publicly listed company in Africa to adopt Bitcoin as a core treasury asset. The business started as a financial services group focused on secured lending to small and medium enterprises across South Africa and has now announced a strategic pivot: use Bitcoin to strengthen the balance sheet, access cheaper global capital, and scale lending and impact across the continent. Bitcoin was made for us. That tagline captures their conviction. Stafford and Warren describe Bitcoin not as a speculative novelty but as a practical, life-changing instrument in African markets where currency debasement and weak rails make reliable stores of value precious. They are positioning ABC to be the regulated, listed vehicle that gives African investors, citizens and institutions exposure to Bitcoin in a jurisdictional, compliant manner. Why a Bitcoin treasury strategy in Africa? The argument is straightforward and rooted in local economic realities: Demand is pent up. In many African countries access to Bitcoin is restricted, exchanges are nascent, and investors lack regulated entry points. Currency debasement makes a fixed-supply, globally recognised asset attractive as a store of value. Bitcoin is being used as a medium of exchange in sub-Saharan Africa at higher rates than almost anywhere else. Merchant acceptance and day-to-day use are significant. The informal economy is large, sophisticated and largely cash based. Creating rails to bring informal participants into regulated Bitcoin exposure is an opportunity to increase financial inclusion. They point to examples like Namibia, where ABC has already completed a dual listing, as evidence of demand for a regulated way to gain Bitcoin exposure across the continent. How the strategy works in practice ABC's plan is not just to buy Bitcoin and sit on it. The stated objective is to increase Bitcoin per share over time by using Bitcoin as pristine collateral to unlock cheaper capital globally and then deploy that capital into secured, high-impact lending within Africa. Key mechanics include: Bolster the balance sheet by holding Bitcoin as a core asset, increasing the company's creditworthiness. Borrow in deep capital markets such as Japan, Switzerland or the US at single-digit interest rates. On-lend to African SMEs at materially higher rates, creating an interest-rate arbitrage that can be accretive to shareholders and increase Bitcoin per share. Warren explained the arbitrage clearly: borrow at around 6 to 9 percent in developed markets and on-lend in Africa at roughly 20 to 22 percent, resulting in a margin that can be reinvested into the treasury strategy and into the core lending book. Lending model and impact ABC's lending is secured and targeted at businesses rather than microfinance. Typical loan sizes are between £100,000 and £1,000,000, and the company has a three-year track record of deploying such loans. This is presented as high-impact lending: Stafford noted the social multiplier effect — for every modest amount deployed, jobs are created. The combination of secure lending with a Bitcoin-backed balance sheet is intended to simultaneously deliver financial returns and measurable local impact. Regulation, listings and rollout across Africa ABC's listing strategy begins with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange as its home market and has expanded with a dual listing in Namibia. The company plans further listings in five other sizable African markets to create regulated access points for citizens where Bitcoin cannot easily be bought today. Key points on compliance and execution: Using the Johannesburg Stock Exchange as the regulatory anchor simplifies subsequent listings because many African exchanges accept a fast-track process that recognises the rigor of JSE scrutiny. Additional listings are described as access points, not liquidity hubs. Deep liquidity is expected to come from listings on major markets such as London, Frankfurt and the US. ABC argues that South Africa offers the best combination of liquidity, governance and integration with global capital markets, giving the company a practical moat for a continental rollout. Why ABC believes it can be the dominant player Stafford and Warren set out several competitive advantages: They bring on-the-ground experience across African townships and informal economies, not just a financial services pedigree. Their lending business is naturally synergistic with a Bitcoin treasury. The balance sheet amplification unlocks cheaper capital which scales the lending model. They claim a governance and regulatory network, including relationships with the South African Reserve Bank and the JSE, that many competitors lack. They also stressed differentiation from other companies that have taken on Bitcoin treasuries without an operational fit. Unlike firms that can only announce a holding, ABC intends to actively use Bitcoin as collateral to build a repeatable, accretive business model. Our sole objective is continuously and perpetually to increase Bitcoin per share. Practical concerns and responses Addressing obvious questions, Stafford explained that cross-border expansion can be managed without an explosion in compliance costs because partner exchanges usually accept the JSE's due diligence and offer a fast-track listing. The company will still meet KYC and AML checks locally, but the model is designed to be operationally manageable. On the human side, both leaders emphasised their township roots and the reality of local economies. They challenged western misperceptions about African economies, arguing that informal cash markets are sophisticated and primed for the benefits Bitcoin can bring when offered through regulated, understandable rails. What to watch next Key milestones to monitor include: Final listing on the Aquis Exchange and subsequent planned listings across African markets. Announcements about the size and timing of initial Bitcoin purchases for the treasury and the financing structures used to leverage that collateral. Rollout of lending products that blend fiat and Bitcoin exposure, such as hybrid instruments or "bit bonds", which the company mentioned as a way to grow the treasury without causing dilution. Partnerships with deeper capital markets to provide liquidity and enable the interest-rate arbitrage at scale. Conclusion Africa Bitcoin Corporation presents a thesis built on a credible underlying business, continental demand, and a conviction that Bitcoin offers more than speculative upside in African markets. By using Bitcoin as pristine collateral to access global liquidity and scale secured lending locally, ABC aims to be both accretive for shareholders and transformational for customers on the ground. Whether you view Bitcoin as a speculative asset or as money, ABC's approach is pragmatic: use the asset to create real economic value, deliver credit to businesses that need it, and increase Bitcoin exposure for investors and citizens who currently lack regulated access. For those tracking the intersection of crypto, emerging markets and impact finance, this is a story to follow closely.

Recording date: 14th October 2025Derek Macpherson, Executive Chairman of Olive Resource Capital, and CEO Sam Pelaez presented their outlook on the evolving commodity markets during their October 14, 2025 Compass podcast. Their analysis highlights a transition from precious metals dominance toward broader industrial commodity opportunities driven by monetary policy and structural supply constraints.Gold continues trading at $4,100 with silver exceeding $50 per ounce despite recent Middle East peace developments. Pelaez emphasized that global liquidity has reached all-time highs, surpassing pandemic levels, and maintains the highest correlation with gold performance. This monetary backdrop combines with central banks actively reducing US dollar exposure, creating sustained precious metals support independent of geopolitical developments.The hosts identified emerging opportunities in industrial metals based on cyclical patterns. US manufacturing contracted for 33 of the last 36 months, creating conditions similar to previous troughs. Federal Reserve rate cuts combined with Chinese monetary easing now target manufacturing activity directly. Pelaez questioned whether markets are entering "the early innings of an industrial recovery for the metals."Copper emerged as particularly attractive given supply constraints at four of the world's top ten assets including Cobre Panama, Kamoa-Kakula, Grasberg, and QB2. Macpherson noted these production challenges create tight supply conditions that would respond dramatically to manufacturing demand recovery.Government intervention in critical minerals represents another strategic focus. The US Department of Defense committed $1 billion to stockpiling programs, creating price floors that protect domestic producers from Chinese market manipulation. Pelaez highlighted CoTec's exclusive US licensing for magnet recycling technology as exemplifying opportunities in processing rather than traditional mining, avoiding extraction complexities while benefiting from government support.The firm views the current environment as following historical bull market progression from gold through silver and platinum group metals toward base and industrial commodities. Macpherson advised following government capital flows given their superior balance sheets and extended investment horizons. Olive Resource Capital continues positioning for subsequent market phases while maintaining focus on alpha generation in less liquid segments where fundamental analysis drives outperformance.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/categories/commodities/goldhttps://cruxinvestor.com/categories/commodities/silverhttps://cruxinvestor.com/categories/commodities/copper

Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV: SCZ) (OTCQB: SCZMF), joins me to focus on the growth strategy at the development-stage Soracaya Project, as well as the exploration upside and expansion potential around the Bolivar, Porco, and Zimapan Mines. Santacruz Silver operates 5 mines, 3 mills, and an ore feed-sourcing and metals trading business in Bolivia, along with 1 mine in Mexico, as an emerging mid-tier silver and base metals producer.   We kick things off with a review of the news out October 7th which announced the initiation of development activities and the pursuit of full production permitting at their wholly-owned Soracaya Project; located in the Potosí Department, Bolivia. These activities mark a key step toward advancing the Project to a production decision. With the preliminary mine plan in place and the permitting process underway, Soracaya is emerging as a cornerstone growth project for Santacruz Silver in Bolivia.   Soracaya is a high-grade, silver-rich project, featuring mineralization along reactivated faults with replacement and brecciated sulphides, geological characteristics typical of some of the world's most productive silver deposits. Since 1999, more than 29.6 km of drilling across 90+ holes has provided extensive geological data, supporting robust resource modeling and preliminary mine planning.     Additionally, Glencore already put in the decline to access the high-grade veins, so there are some distinct brownfield site infrastructure advantages already in place. An internal study was completed by Glencore with an estimated capex of ~US$40MM for construction of a processing plant and tailings facility. Mine plan today envisions a roughly 12-year mine life with the idea to process about 850-1000 tonnes per day of material through the proposed mill.  Arturo outlined that Soracaya's high-grade resource, strategic location in Potosí, and synergies with existing operations and the teams experience as underground miners give them confidence in its ability to deliver long-term value for shareholders and stakeholders alike.   We also discuss the permitting process, along with the regional Potosí District and mining history, as well as the national election and constructive political developments inside of Bolivia.   Their team is now currently increasing exploration and development work around the Bolivar and Porco Mines in Bolivia, to expand resources and extend mine life. Arturo reiterated their philosophy of constantly exploring at each mine to reinvest in the future growth of the company.   Transitioning over to Mexico, we discussed the higher-grade 960 Level at the Zimapan Mine starting to contribute, and how this well-endowed mineralized zone will continue growing in their Q4 production profile from Zimapan for the balance of this year and for many years into the future.   Arturo also highlighted that with the strength of the balance sheet, with the final 2 payments to Glencore completed in September, and robust incoming revenues at these higher underlying metals prices.   This gives them the optionality to review potential merger or acquisition assets if they are accretive and if their team can add value to those projects.     If you have any follow up questions for Arturo regarding Santacruz Silver, then please email them to me Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Santacruz Silver 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 Santacruz Silver 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.

“We bought these assets when nobody was funding mining. At $4,000 gold, it feels like we won the lottery,” Executive Chairman of LaFleur MineralsFROM EXPLORATION TO PRODUCTION IN RECORD TIMEWith gold prices surpassing US $4,000 per ounce, LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF)(FSE: 3WK0) is seizing a generational opportunity in Quebec's Abitibi Gold Belt. The company's fully permitted, recently upgraded Beacon Gold Mill—valued above $71 million replacement value, positions it among the few small caps ready to transition from exploration to production without years of permitting delays or heavy capital outlay. Feed for the mill will come from LaFleur's 100%-owned Swanson Gold Deposit as primary source, which holds 123,000 oz indicated and 64,500 oz inferred gold, just 60 kilometres away from the mill.BUILDING QUEBEC'S NEXT GOLD PRODUCERThe Executive Chairman describes LaFleur's model as built for near-term cash flow:“Our mill last operated when gold was $1,600. We're restarting it at $4,000 an ounce. The economics speak for themselves.” Trial runs are targeted for December 2025, with commercial production expected by early 2026. LaFleur aims to produce up to 30,000 ounces per year, translating to roughly C$168 million in potential annual output at today's gold prices.KEY ADVANTAGES • Fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill ready for restart that underwent $20 million in refurbishments in 2022 • Swanson Gold Deposit on a mining lease requiring minimal new permitting, district-scale property primed for consolidation with surrounding claims to expand footprint • Strategic location in Quebec's world-class Abitibi district, surrounded by over 100 historical and operational mines, allowing for rapid monetization of mineralized material from nearby gold deposits • Nearby deposits creating a pipeline for future M&A expansionPROVEN TEAM, PERFECT TIMINGThe Executive Chairman through Bullrun Capital, has a track record of financing and building high-growth ventures—including Patriot One Technologies (TSX: PAT) and Xtract One (TSX:XTRA) and brings deep access to institutional capital. Acquiring the Beacon assets out of bankruptcy in 2022, when gold was ~$1,600 and funding was scarce, now looks like a masterstroke.THE OUTLOOKLaFleur plans to ramp up from 900 tons per day to 5,000 tons per day within three years. The company plans expanding its resource base to 3–5 million ounces through targeted acquisitions. With a debt-free, royalty-free mill, a strong Quebec-based operating team, and record-high gold prices, LaFleur Minerals is one of the few juniors positioned to turn ounces into dollars now, not years from now.

with Derek Macpherson, Executive Chairman & Sam Pelaez, President & CEO of Olive Resource CapitalRecording date: 7th September 2025Olive Resource Capital delivered exceptional returns in September 2025, posting gains of 38-39% for the month and bringing year-to-date performance to 121%. The results significantly outpaced major commodity benchmarks, with both the GDX gold ETF and COPEX copper ETF gaining 20% during the same period.Executive Chairman Derek Macpherson and President Sam Pelaez attribute the outperformance to strategic positioning ahead of what they characterize as an emerging commodity bull market. Despite allocating only half of assets to precious metals, the fund achieved returns comparable to dedicated gold investment products while maintaining broader commodity exposure.A critical market dynamic highlighted during their discussion involves the relationship between equity and commodity performance. Gold equities outperformed the underlying commodity by approximately 4x in both August and September, with stocks gaining 20% monthly while gold itself advanced 5-7%. This pattern typically signals fresh capital entering the sector from generalist investors outside traditional commodity circles.The capital raising environment supports this assessment. Over $1 billion flowed into the sector in a single week, primarily toward pre-production projects. Financings exceeding $100 million generally indicate institutional participation, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of mining development.Management believes the bull market remains in early stages—approximately the "third inning" using a baseball analogy. Key drivers include central bank buying and US dollar weakness, with gold approaching $4,000 per ounce. Notably, the market has not yet exhibited the speculative excess characteristic of late-cycle behavior.The investment strategy focuses on continuous position reassessment rather than mechanical profit-taking. Management argues that companies posting strong results may actually be cheaper on a relative basis after gains, given improved fundamentals and higher commodity prices. They cite K92 Mining as an example: purchased at $6 with an initial $15 target, the stock now trades at $18 but may still be undervalued given doubled gold prices and significantly higher sector valuations.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The discussion outlines a new strategic direction for the company's Ayawilca project in Peru, emphasizing the need to focus on high-grade "meaningful tons" rather than just increasing overall tonnage, and rethinking the approach away from a maximalist greenfield build. While the flagship Ayawilca project requires substantial desktop work before drilling commences in mid-next year, the immediate work plan focuses on commencing drilling soon at the secondary copper-gold project, Silvia

Recording date: 2nd October 2025Welcome back to Compass, Olive Resource Capital's weekly markets and portfolio insights show, hosted by Derek MacPherson (Executive Chairman) and Sam Pelaez (President, CEO & CIO). Each week, we cut through the noise in mining and metals, highlighting the most important macro developments and drilling down into the companies shaping our portfolio.In this episode, we unpack a week of pivotal news for both major gold producers and junior explorers. At the very top of the market, Newmont and Barrick—two of the world's largest gold companies—announced leadership changes on the same day. Newmont's move was a planned succession from COO to CEO, signaling stability and continuity as the company enters a new phase of growth. Barrick, however, surprised the market with an interim appointment following the sudden departure of Mark Bristow. This contrast highlights the broader cycle shift from defensive, balance-sheet-focused leadership to growth-oriented CEOs ready to capitalise on a bull gold market.The coincidence of both announcements has reignited speculation about deeper industrial alignment. With Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo already jointly operated, strategic synergies are clear. A combined or further integrated entity could also benefit from passive investment flows, with Newmont's S&P 500 inclusion forcing index-tracking funds to increase their exposure. While no deal has been announced, the industrial and financial rationale for closer alignment between Newmont and Barrick is stronger than ever.Beyond the majors, the week delivered extraordinary news from Olive's portfolio companies. Sterling Metals announced a discovery hole at its Soo Copper project in Ontario - 262 metres at 1% copper equivalent—re-rating the stock by more than 200% in a single day. Years of geological groundwork positioned the company for this success, underscoring the importance of disciplined preparation.Prospector Metals delivered another standout intercept: 44 metres at 13 g/t gold with 1.8% copper at its Mike Lake project. Shares surged nearly 280% and have held those gains. As part of the Discovery Group, Prospector demonstrated how systematic geological work and strong stewardship can unlock transformative discoveries.By contrast, Midnight Sun Mining illustrates the risk of overextended valuations. The company reported nearly 40 metres at .5% copper from its Dumbwa target in Zambia, yet shares fell around 20% as the market had already priced in perfection. The case highlights why entry point and expectations matter as much as geological success.The financing environment also shows renewed strength, with over C$100 million raised across juniors in the past week. With seasonal drill programs now underway, investors should expect a steady cadence of results through year-end. Majors may also lean further into M&A, project acceleration, and capital returns as gold prices remain near record highs.

Interview with Gerald Panneton, Executive Chairman of Gold Terra Resource Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gold-terra-resource-tsxvygt-leveraging-rising-gold-prices-with-high-grade-yellowknife-project-6315Recording date: 25th September 2025Gold Terra Resources Corporation (TSXV:YGT) is advancing its Yellowknife gold project in Canada's Northwest Territories, capitalizing on dramatically improved economics driven by gold's rise to $3,750 per ounce. Executive Chairman Gerald Panneton sees significant opportunity to revitalize the historically productive mining district, which was shuttered in 2003 when gold traded at just $340 per ounce.The company has outlined 1.8 million ounces of combined indicated and inferred resources, with a strategic focus on 540,000 near-surface ounces in the Yellorex zone that can be accessed via ramp development within 3-4 years. This approach prioritizes cash flow generation over the more capital-intensive deep underground mining that characterized the original operation.Gold Terra's competitive advantage centers on the Con Mine, a cornerstone asset featuring existing mining lease and surface rights that could reduce permitting timelines from the typical 10-15 years for greenfield projects to approximately one year. "The biggest advantage Gold Terra has with the Con mine as a cornerstone property is that [they have] the mining lease and the surface rights," Panneton explained.Third-party validation came through OR Royalties' $2 million investment to increase their NSR royalty from 1% to 2%, with an option for additional investment to reach 3%. The endorsement followed an in-depth technical review, providing external confirmation of the project's potential.Current gold prices have transformed project economics, enabling potential cutoff grade reductions that could expand the Yellorex zone from 540,000 to 700,000 ounces. Management targets completing a resource update and preliminary economic assessment within 6-12 months, aiming to finalize the Newmont acquisition by 2026.With $3 million in treasury and improved market conditions, Gold Terra enters a critical development phase positioned to leverage both existing infrastructure advantages and gold's structural bull market through disciplined, phased development focused on near-term production potential.View Gold Terra's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gold-terra-resource-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Greg Martyr, Executive Chairman, Capital MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/capital-metals-lsecmet-strategic-alliance-advances-worlds-highest-grade-mineral-sands-play-7308Recording date: 22nd September 2025Capital Metals stands poised to make a final investment decision by end-2025 on its Taprobane Minerals project in Sri Lanka, representing what executive chairman Greg Martyr calls "one of the highest grade undeveloped mineral sands projects in the world." The company's exceptional 17.2% grade deposit dramatically exceeds the global average of less than 5%, creating substantial competitive advantages in an otherwise challenging market environment.The project's economics are compelling, requiring only $25 million in initial capital to generate projected annual revenues of $35-40 million against operating costs below $20 million. This translates to a base case net present value of $180 million, creating significant upside potential for a company trading at a market capitalization below £20 million.Capital Metals has secured crucial local partnerships, including a $4 million investment from Ambeon Capital for a 20% stake. The partnership brings legendary cricketer-turned-investment banker Aravinda De Silva to the board, providing essential government relations access in navigating Sri Lanka's regulatory environment.The regulatory landscape has improved markedly following the election of a new anti-corruption government that secured 75% of the vote. "The big picture is that the country is focusing on a mineral source of revenue for foreign direct investment which is what they need," Martyr explains, highlighting the administration's pro-business mining stance.Two critical approvals remain pending: mining license expansion and export rights for heavy mineral concentrate. Management expresses confidence these will be secured by year-end, enabling construction to begin in Q1 2026. The straightforward surface mining operation involves no blasting or chemical processing, with immediate environmental remediation capabilities positioning the project favorably in an ESG-conscious investment climate.With established markets for its four primary commodities—ilmenite, rutile, zircon, and garnet—the project offers investors exposure to a high-margin, environmentally responsible mining operation backed by exceptional resource quality and supportive regulatory momentum.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/capital-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

From his journey growing up in a farm family to building the largest publicly traded farmland REIT, Paul shares powerful lessons on seizing opportunities, balancing vision with habits, and keeping perspective on agriculture's role in solving global challenges.Key TakeawaysHabits Over Long-Term Plans: Success isn't built on rigid 30-year plans, but on daily habits and the courage to seize opportunities when they arrive.Luck and Humility: Luck plays a major role in career success. Recognizing it fosters humility while reminding us not to discount solid “upper middle-class” achievements.Bridging Two Worlds: Paul combined his Wall Street deal-making expertise with deep agricultural roots to pioneer farmland investing through Farmland Partners.Agriculture's North Star: Feeding the world remains the industry's core mission, but the next frontier is improving nutritional quality alongside caloric and protein production.Intentional Leadership: True leadership comes from vision-driven individuals, not committees. Accountability, clarity, and a strong grasp of the other side's priorities are key to effective deals and relationships.Decision-Making Framework: Balance certainty with long-term goals—avoid chasing perfection, but don't settle for the easy path that drifts you off course.Work Ethic and Drive: A deep work ethic, instilled early by family, fuels resilience and the ability to take bold steps—even when that means quitting a “great” job to pursue true alignment.Notable Quotes“You don't set life goals—you set life habits that create the environment for success.” – Paul Pittman“If I need to teach you how to farm, I need a different tenant.” – Paul Pittman“The Sistine Chapel wasn't painted by a committee. It was painted by a guy.” – Paul Pittman“Being wealthy isn't about money. It's about happiness with your life.” – Paul PittmanAction StepsEvaluate your daily habits—are they aligned with the environment you want to create for success?Identify two or three “non-negotiables” in your business and relationships, and respect the same on the other side.Reflect on your career direction—are you drifting off course by taking too many “easy” decisions?Consider how your leadership style encourages accountability, vision, and individual responsibility.Listen If You AreA business or ag leader seeking lessons from someone who bridged Wall Street and farming.Interested in the future of agriculture—feeding the world and improving health.Looking for practical frameworks for negotiation, leadership, and decision-making.Curious about the mindset behind building a company from farmland roots to Wall Street success.

Story #1: American Bitcoin Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Eric Trump and Executive Chairman and Board Member, Asher Genoot join Will to discuss the launch of American Bitcoin on the NASDAQ. Eric also reflects on his friendship with Charlie Kirk and the threats facing his own family, while Asher explains why Bitcoin is the ultimate store of value and how their company aims to make crypto simple and accessible for everyday Americans. Story #2: Author and Host of "Your Welcome", Michael Malice sits down with Will to examine the deeper crisis in America. From calls for violence to the push for “hate speech” laws, Malice argues we've entered a dangerous phase where debate is collapsing. He explains why some ideas must be retired, why others can't be negotiated in good faith, and why this moment will likely mark a turning point in American history. Story #3: Will closes with a monologue on the limits of free speech, the line between hate speech and incitement, and the role of accountability in culture versus government. He calls out politicians like Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) for dangerous rhetoric, and argues that preserving civilization requires truth, responsibility, and a re-commitment to basic decency.

Interview with Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman & CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/santacruz-silver-tsxvscz-q1-revenue-hits-70m-as-turnaround-plan-delivers-results-7297Recording date: 11th September 2025Santacruz Silver Mining represents a compelling investment opportunity for investors seeking exposure to a financially disciplined silver producer with strong fundamentals and clear growth catalysts. The company has successfully completed a strategic financial restructuring that positions it as one of the cleanest balance sheet stories in the precious metals sector.The company's financial transformation is remarkable. Santacruz has completely eliminated its acquisition-related debt obligations, paying off the final $15 million of its Glencore asset acquisition ahead of schedule while securing an additional $40 million in savings through an acceleration clause execution. This achievement has resulted in a pristine balance sheet with no streaming agreements, no royalties, and minimal debt beyond a strategically structured $20 million promissory note in Bolivia that carries a negative implied interest rate.Operationally, Santacruz demonstrates impressive resilience and diversification through its portfolio of four producing mines and one ore sourcing company spanning Mexico and Bolivia. The company generates over 7 million ounces of pure silver annually alongside significant zinc credits, with management projecting $90-120 million in annual free cash flow. This operational strength was evidenced when recent flooding at two Bolivian veins was immediately offset by San Lucas trading operations, which sourced replacement ore from third-party miners to maintain full mill capacity utilization.The investment thesis is strengthened by favorable currency dynamics in Bolivia, where 80-85% of operational costs are denominated in Bolivianos. The recent devaluation of the Boliviano creates ongoing cost advantages that directly improve all-in sustained cash costs and enhance profit margins, particularly beneficial in the current rising silver price environment.Santacruz's primary growth catalyst centers on the advanced Soracaya brownfield project, which management characterizes as "advanced organic growth." This asset features existing 43-101 resource reporting and previous development work by Glencore, with full permitting expected within 7-10 months. Once operational, Soracaya will contribute an additional 4 million ounces of annual silver production - representing approximately a 60% increase in output - funded entirely through internal cash generation without equity dilution.The company's resource base offers exceptional longevity and expansion potential. Current reserves and resources provide approximately 12 years of mine life in Bolivia alone, supported by vein systems that allow for both deeper development and strike length extension. Notably, the Porco mine represents the longest continuously producing mine in the Americas with 500 years of non-stop operation, while other assets have maintained production for over 200 years, demonstrating the sustainability of these geological systems.From a valuation perspective, Santacruz appears attractively positioned with an enterprise value approximately six to seven times projected EBITDA of $110-120 million, trading at a discount to many precious metals peers. This valuation gap, combined with the company's strong cash generation capabilities and strategic flexibility for acquisitive growth, presents multiple pathways for value creation.The macro environment further supports the investment case, as silver benefits from dual demand drivers spanning both industrial applications and monetary hedge demand. Industrial consumption continues expanding through renewable energy infrastructure and electronics manufacturing, while supply constraints from primary silver operations create additional price support.For investors seeking exposure to a well-managed silver producer with proven operational capabilities, clean financials, and clear growth visibility, Santacruz Silver offers a compelling risk-adjusted opportunity in the current precious metals landscape.View Santacruz Silver Mining's company mining: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/santacruz-silver-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
