Interview with Luke Norman, Executive Chairman of US Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/us-gold-corp-nasdaqusau-feasibility-study-imminent-with-major-20262028-catalysts-8678Recording date: 16th January 2026US Gold Corp has distinguished itself within the junior gold sector by securing full mining permits for its CK Gold project in Wyoming whilst maintaining an exceptionally tight share structure of just 16.5 million shares outstanding. The company completed a $31.2 million financing in December 2025 with participation from major institutional investors including VanEck, Goehring & Rozencwajg, and Libra Capital, marking a validation milestone that complements its established retail shareholder base.The CK Gold project represents one of the few fully permitted, shovel-ready gold-copper developments in North America. Having received final non-conditional mining permits in December 2024, US Gold Corp has eliminated a significant source of timeline uncertainty that affects competing projects. This permitting achievement, combined with the project's location just 20 miles from Cheyenne, Wyoming, provides practical advantages in accessing established infrastructure, skilled labour, and contractor services that should translate into lower capital and operating costs.The company expects to release its Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) in late January or early February 2026, establishing the pathway to project finance. Executive Chairman Luke Norman outlined an 18-month timeline from financing to production, with first-year output forecast at 130,000 ounces gold and 24 million pounds copper. With gold prices exceeding $4,600 per ounce, project economics benefit materially compared to earlier technical assessments conducted at lower metal price assumptions.Management has identified multiple financing pathways reflecting strong global demand for gold-copper concentrates. The preference for debt financing aims to preserve the company's tight share structure, which provides significant operating leverage with a $330 million market capitalisation against a 1.7 million ounce reserve base. Potential financing structures include forward sales arrangements, concentrate offtake agreements, and traditional project debt, creating optionality in capital structure.Beyond the permitted reserve, US Gold Corp plans to commence drilling targeting an additional one million ounces below the current resource. With 80% of historical drilling bottoming in mineralisation, management estimates this exploration programme could add approximately one billion dollars in net present value. This drilling represents a strategic shift toward value optimisation now that economic viability and permitting have been established.The investment proposition centres on scarcity value within North American gold development opportunities. As major producers face declining reserve grades and extended permitting timelines, fully permitted projects in tier-one jurisdictions command premium valuations. US Gold Corp's combination of permits, institutional validation, infrastructure advantages, and tight share structure positions the company for potential multiple reratings throughout 2026 as it advances through definitive feasibility release, project financing, and construction commencement.The straightforward metallurgical flowsheet—crush, grind, flotation, and tri-stack processing—reduces technical execution risk, whilst the Wyoming location provides jurisdictional certainty and operational advantages. With institutional capital flowing into the gold sector and concentrate demand characterised as "insatiable," US Gold Corp offers investors exposure to near-term North American gold production with significant exploration upside and multiple catalysts ahead.View U.S. Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/us-gold-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong has been a pioneer, leading the way in cancer research. As the Founder,  Executive Chairman, Global Chief Medical & Technology Officer at ImmunityBio, Dr. Soon-Shiong is changing the paradigm in how to treat cancer. Our body needs a strong, healthy immune response to overcome cancer. Chemotherapy weakens the immune system significantly, essentially wiping out our body's best defense of cancer and tumors, the natural killer cell. The natural killer cells in our body destroy and kill cancer cells, without them, we are fighting a losing battle. Dr. Soon-Shiong's invention Anktiva, is a superagonist fusion complex that selectively activates Natural Killer (NK) cells and memory T cells enabling immune amplification rather than immune suppression. This treatment has shown long term success with over a million pages of data. This data is sitting in the hands of the FDA, but unfortunately our FDA has not reviewed it. Saudi Arabia on the other hand, has chosen longevity science and healthspan as a measure of GDP and has approved Anktiva for use in the country. This 30 minute outpatient procedure is now available in Saudi Arabia for patients dealing with cancer. Will the success of this treatment in Saudi Arabia convince the FDA to approve this treatment in America or will Americans be forced into medical tourism to treat cancer successfully and save lives?

Interview with Gerald Panneton, Executive Chairman of Gold Terra Resource Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gold-terra-resources-tsxvygt-resource-update-pea-in-612-months-ahead-of-newmont-option-8117Recording date: 7th January 2026Gold Terra Resources is advancing a compelling high-grade gold opportunity in Canada's historic Yellowknife district, where the Campbell Shear system produced 14 million ounces at 14-22 grams per tonne before shutting down in 2003 at $340 gold. With gold now exceeding $4,400 per ounce, CEO Gerald Panneton is executing a strategic pivot that transforms previously sub-economic mineralization into a robust production opportunity.The company is positioning to acquire the Con Mine by 2027, leveraging critical infrastructure advantages including existing mining lease and surface rights that eliminate major permitting hurdles. Gold Terra has identified approximately one million ounces at 5-7 g/t between surface and 1,000 meters by re-evaluating historical drilling with lower cutoff grades that remain economically robust at current prices. Key target areas include the Yellorex zone with 500,000-700,000 ounces and Zone 103 with another 500,000 ounces - both areas that were considered sub-economic when the mine closed.The 2026 execution plan centers on systematic de-risking through 15,000 meters of drilling focused on resource conversion and expansion, with an updated mineral resource estimate targeted for September and a preliminary economic assessment by year-end. The conceptual operation would process 2,000 tonnes per day, producing approximately 140,000 ounces annually with breakeven costs estimated at $1,500-$2,000 per ounce - implying margins exceeding $2,000 per ounce at current gold prices.Blue-chip mining investors including Eric Sprott, David Harquail, and Mackenzie Funds have validated the strategy through a recent $7 million financing, with 95% participation from existing shareholders. The company has already invested $20 million in 30,000 meters of drilling, establishing a substantial technical database.Panneton, who developed the Detour Lake mine into a 30-million-ounce discovery, projects that Gold Terra could achieve billion-dollar market capitalization as a cash-flowing producer by 2029-2030, representing substantial upside from current valuation of approximately $30 per ounce of resources.View Gold Terra's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gold-terra-resource-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Is your company's "AI disruption" happening with you—or quietly without you… and putting your business worth at risk? If you're leading a mid-to-large company right now, you're probably feeling two pressures at the same time: move faster with AI and don't blow up the business while you do it. Because AI isn't a future trend anymore—it's already being built, tested, and used across departments, geographies, and teams (often without a single unified view). And that creates a real leadership headache: how do you scale AI for competitive advantage while still keeping guardrails in place? In this episode, Jim Schleckser talks with Pete Foley (CEO of ModelOp) about what happens when AI spreads "like wildfire" inside an organization—and how to regain control without killing momentum. You'll walk away with: A practical way to get visibility into AI across your organization so you know what models exist, what they're doing, and where the biggest risks are hiding. A framework for putting governance and guardrails in place without slowing innovation—so you can move faster than competitors and sleep at night. A clearer path to scaling AI investments into real business outcomes (revenue, cost reduction, risk control) instead of letting models sit stuck in limbo for 9–12 months. Hit play now to learn how to build AI guardrails that protect your brand and accelerate results—so you can boost business worth before the market decides who survives the disruption. Check out: [02:10] "In five years, there'll be two kinds of companies…" — Jim frames the stakes of AI disruption and why ignoring it threatens long-term survival and business worth. [10:45] The real AI bottleneck: why models take 9–12 months to reach production — Pete explains what's slowing companies down and why that pace won't survive the next wave. [23:30] The "air traffic controller" approach to AI governance — visibility, risk assignment, guardrails, and real-time monitoring so AI can scale without chaos. About Pete Foley With more than 25 years of executive and entrepreneurial experience in enterprise software and a track record of successful business exits, Pete Foley's leadership gives ModelOp customers, partners and employees a high level of trust and confidence in the company and its future. Prior to co-founding ModelOp, Pete held several chief executive roles, including CEO of RingCube Technologies, a desktop virtualization software solution provider acquired by Citrix in 2011; CEO of PortAuthority Technologies, a provider of data leak protection systems, from 2005 through its acquisition by Websense in 2007; and CEO of Infoblox (BLOX) from 2002 through 2005. In addition, Pete was the Executive Chairman of Graphite Systems, a low latency, flash-based big data appliance that was acquired by EMC, from 2012 to 2015.

Interview with Alex Black, Executive Chairman of Rio2 Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rio2-tsxrio-approaching-january-2026-production-targeting-20000tpd-ramp-up-7959Recording date: 23rd December 2025Rio2 Limited (TSX:RIO) represents a compelling investment opportunity at the critical inflection point between development and production, with first gold pour from its Fenix heap leach project in Chile scheduled for January 2026 whilst the recently acquired Condestable underground copper mine in Peru contributes immediate substantial cash generation. The dual-asset strategy directly addresses the binary risk inherent in single-asset junior companies whilst providing diversified exposure to both precious and base metals during favourable pricing environments characterised by gold exceeding $4,500 per ounce and copper benefiting from structural supply constraints.Management delivered the Fenix project on time and on budget at $150-160 million total capital expenditure, representing modest capital intensity for a gold operation of this scale. The operation targets 60-70,000 ounces during the 2026 ramp-up year before reaching steady-state production of 100,000 ounces annually by 2027 at nameplate throughput capacity of 20,000 tonnes per day. Critically, the starter project represents only 1.7 million ounces of the property's 5 million ounce resource base, which was defined using $1,800 per ounce gold price pit shells, creating significant reserve expansion potential in the current $2,600+ pricing environment. Systematic exploration drilling commencing in 2026 targets resource growth potentially reaching 5-7 million ounces by the late 2027 feasibility study for phase two expansion.The December acquisition of Condestable fundamentally altered Rio2's financial trajectory and risk profile. The transaction added 10 years of proven and probable reserves, unusual longevity for any producing operation that eliminates near-term reserve replacement pressures. The mine produces 27,000 tonnes of copper equivalent annually (60 million pounds copper) at current throughput rates of 8,400 tonnes per day, generating clean concentrate grading 80% copper and 20% precious metals. At current metal prices, Condestable generates over $100 million in annual free cash flow after taxes with sustaining capital requirements below $10 million per year, creating an 8% annual cash yield on Rio2's $1.2 billion market capitalisation before considering Fenix's contribution.The combined operations project to generate $150-175 million annual free cash flow once Fenix reaches steady-state production, providing capital to fund organic expansion at both properties without equity dilution. Condestable offers clear expansion pathway from 8,400 to 12,000 tonnes per day throughput (40% increase) with study underway, whilst the underexplored 45,000-hectare land package surrounding the mine provides blue-sky resource growth potential that previous private equity owners neglected in favour of cash flow extraction.Management's 25-year Peru operating history and successful prior mine development through Minera IRL validates capability to navigate Latin American permitting, community relations, and operational challenges. The successful $205 million financing with $800 million total demand (4x oversubscription) demonstrates institutional confidence in the execution track record and strategic vision. Rio2 currently trades at approximately 2x EBITDA on Condestable alone, before attributing value to Fenix production or substantial organic expansion potential at either asset. Comparable producers in the 100,000+ ounce gold and 50+ million pound copper production range typically trade at 4-6x EBITDA multiples, suggesting significant valuation convergence opportunity as quarterly production reports validate operational performance through 2026-2027.Management explicitly positions Rio2 as an active consolidator building toward eventual corporate transaction within 3-5 years rather than perpetual operator, with Executive Chairman Alex Black noting "we're not building a company for the next 20 years" but rather "taking advantage of the situation, the time, the metal prices and building something up that is very very valuable." G Mining's $8.5 billion valuation whilst operating two assets provides reference point for Rio2's potential valuation trajectory, representing 7x current market capitalisation as the production platform matures and demonstrates consistent operational execution across both jurisdictions.View Rio2's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rio2-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

When Joey Gonzalez took his first class at Barry's, West Hollywood, he says “it was love at first sweat”. The music, night-club vibe and high-intensity workout was life-changing. Joey was convinced he could expand the fitness brand beyond Los Angeles. So, he worked his way up through the company, starting as an instructor and becoming CEO in 2015 - creating Barry's studios across the US and around the world. And even now, as Executive Chairman, Joey still leads a workout. He tells Evan Davis why his background in musical theatre and performing arts is ideal for being a Barry's “entertrainer”.(Image: Joey Gonzalez. Credit: Barry's)

Jordan Raynor is a bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, and the Executive Chairman of Threshold 360, a venture-backed tech company. A sixth-generation Tampa native, Jordan has built and exited multiple startups, served in the political arena, and now devotes his life to helping Christians connect the gospel to their everyday work. Through his books, podcasts, and speaking, Jordan's mission is to equip believers to see their daily tasks, whether in tech, teaching, or making coffee as sacred and significant. In this rich and thought-provoking episode of The Wow Factor, Brad sits down with Jordan to explore the turning points of his life—from a teenage campaign manager to a tech founder, and ultimately, a writer and teacher helping others redeem their time and purpose. Jordan shares how a pivotal post-church conversation reframed his view of work, the journey behind his first book Called to Create, and why the gospel speaks to spreadsheets and startup culture just as much as sermons. They dive deep into time stewardship, distractions, work as ministry, and the countercultural freedom that comes when you stop chasing your bucket list and start living for eternal impact. "God cares about the work itself, not just the evangelism you're doing within it or funding through it." - Jordan Raynor "For the Christian, nothing is secular and everything is sacred." - Jordan Raynor "You are not the savior of the world, and neither am I, and that is terrifically freeing."  - Jordan Raynor This Week on The Wow Factor: Growing up in Tampa and discovering politics through a middle school teacher Why Jordan walked away from politics after a White House internship How a mentor's honest question redirected his entire career The biblical foundation for why all work matters to God Why the idea of "secular work" is a false divide The powerful message of Jordan's first book, Called to Create How Jesus' life as a carpenter reframes how we think about "sacred" work Jordan's framework for stewarding time based on Jesus' own rhythms Practical ways to reclaim your attention and avoid "infinity pools" of content Why Jordan completely cut out the news—and didn't miss a thing Insights from his bestselling book Redeeming Your Time How he and his family prioritize presence by setting phone boundaries The impact of internships on Jordan's early career trajectory Why bucket lists can become burdens—and what Jesus offers instead How Randy Alcorn and C.S. Lewis have influenced Jordan's theology of eternity Why Jordan's next book will focus on setting goals the way Jesus did Jordan Raynor's Word of Wisdom:If you don't have a relationship with Jesus, generosity won't make much sense. At best, it's PR or a feel-good move. But once you realize He gave everything for you, the only logical response is to spend your life giving your time, your money, your presence, everything in return.

Interview with Allan Ritchie, Executive Chairman & CEO and David Ward, Managing Director of Adavale ResourcesRecording date: 9th December 2025Adavale Resources Limited (ASX: ADD) has emerged as a compelling Australian gold story, having transformed a A$900,000 acquisition into a 115,000-ounce JORC resource at the London-Victoria project in just nine months. The former BHP gold mine in New South Wales' prolific Lachlan Fold Belt is now the focus of an aggressive exploration and development program led by a management team with significant skin in the game.Executive Chairman Allan Ritchie and newly appointed Managing Director David Ward have structured the company to maximize shareholder alignment. All four directors collectively own over 5% of Adavale and take their remuneration exclusively in shares rather than cash, ensuring minimal corporate overhead. This approach is backed by cornerstone investor Gleneden, who holds 20% of the company and brings decades of resources sector expertise.The technical progress at London-Victoria has been impressive. Phase 1 drilling delivered standout results including 48 meters at 0.82 grams per ton gold, with high-grade zones of 25 meters at 1.2 g/t located 100 meters below the existing pit. Significantly, this intercept occurred outside the current resource envelope, indicating substantial expansion potential. Ward's historical knowledge of the site—having worked for the previous operator—combined with the recent discovery of hundreds of historic BHP grade control maps, is accelerating targeting accuracy.The company employs a dual-strategy approach: advancing London-Victoria toward near-term production through tolling agreements with nearby Alkane Resources' Tomingley facility (50km away), while systematically exploring five greenfields licenses for epithermal and porphyry discoveries. Surface samples at the Ashes prospect have returned up to 10 grams per ton gold, demonstrating early-stage promise.With Phase 2 drilling currently underway at a cost-effective A$350,000 for 13-14 holes, Adavale is executing a capital-efficient program that maintains multiple pathways to value creation in a favorable gold price environment exceeding A$4,000 per ounce.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/adavale-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1214: Asbury sets the stage for its next leadership chapter, Ford teams with Renault to regain momentum in Europe, and the President's kei-car wish sparks a reality check on what it would take to bring microcars to U.S. dealerships.Show Notes with links:Asbury Automotive is gearing up for a major leadership handoff this May as longtime CEO David Hult moves into the Executive Chairman role and COO Dan Clara steps into the top seat. The move caps a disciplined succession plan following years of rapid growth.Hult, 60, says the transition comes at “the right time” as Asbury continues strong momentum from record acquisitions and profit expansion.Under Hult, Asbury tripled earnings and shareholder value while nearly tripling annual new-vehicle volume.Clara joined Asbury as a client adviser at a BMW store in 2002 and rose through the ranks, most recently becoming COO in February.Leadership praised Clara's operational chops, strategic mindset, and success integrating large-scale acquisitions.“His drive, strategic mindset, and strong dedication to our values make him the logical choice to serve as Asbury's next CEO,” Hult said.Ford is teaming up with Renault to develop small EVs tailored for Europe as competition from Chinese automakers accelerates. The partnership gives Ford a more cost-competitive path forward after years of shrinking share and restructuring in the region.Renault will build two Ford-designed small EVs in France, with the first arriving in 2028.Ford's U.S. “skunk works” EV platform is too large and expensive for Europe's compact segments.Ford's European share has fallen to 3.3%, down from 7.2% in 2015, despite multiple restructuring rounds and job cuts.““We know we're in a fight for our lives in our industry, and no better example than here in Europe,” CEO Jim Farley told reporters.After the President floated the idea of bringing Japan's tiny kei cars to the U.S. to address vehicle affordability, experts quickly noted the steep sales and production hurdles. While automakers say they're always exploring lower-cost options, kei cars would require a level of demand the U.S. has never shown.In a Truth Social post, Trump said he had "just approved TINY CARS to be built in America," calling them "inexpensive, safe, fuel efficient and, quite simply, AMAZING!!!"  and urged manufacturers, "START BUILDING THEM NOW!"Microcars peaked at just 114,000 U.S. sales in 2014—far below the volume needed to make kei-car production viable today.Analysts say an automaker would need around 200,000 annual sales to justify investment, even under ideal conditions.“When we had a chance to buy smaller cars in the past, most of us chose not to purchase them,” said Stephanie Brinley of S&P Global Mobility.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

Interview with Chris Doornbos, President & CEO of E3 Lithium Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/e3-lithium-tsxvetl-pioneering-lithium-development-in-the-heart-of-canadas-energy-industry-5064Recording date: 5th December 2025E3 Lithium has achieved significant technical and regulatory milestones as it advances its Alberta-based direct lithium extraction project toward commercial production by 2028/29. The company successfully commissioned its demonstration facility in September 2025, producing battery-grade lithium carbonate within just three weeks—a timeline CEO Chris Doornbos described as "generally not heard of" for such complex processing equipment. This achievement validates E3's proprietary 30-column DLE system while delivering recovery rates exceeding 95% at the extraction stage.The technical progress comes amid a recovering lithium market, with prices climbing approximately 40% from June 2025 lows. Doornbos attributes this recovery to tight supply-demand fundamentals rather than speculation, noting that demand continues growing from Chinese EV markets, battery storage facilities, and increasingly from US data center infrastructure. With 75% of global lithium production concentrated in China, Western governments are prioritizing domestic supply chain development, creating favorable policy conditions for North American developers.E3 has strategically recalibrated its commercialization approach, targeting 12,000 tons annual carbonate production for Phase 1 rather than the previously planned 32,000 tons of hydroxide. This revision reduces initial capital requirements while maintaining competitive economics at approximately $73,000 per installed ton—comparable to Rio Tinto's portfolio average. The company's Leduc aquifer operates at 16 times atmospheric pressure, essentially self-delivering brine and dramatically reducing operational pumping costs.On the regulatory front, E3 received Alberta's first lithium facility license under the province's brine-hosted mineral scheme and has submitted its Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act application, with commercial facility permits advancing through 2026. CEO Doornbos has transitioned to Executive Chairman to focus specifically on securing offtake agreements and project financing, reflecting management's confidence in the technical team's execution capabilities as the project moves toward construction and commercial operations amid North America's projected 300,000-ton lithium deficit through 2030.Viee E3 Lithium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/e3-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

My guest today is Ari Emanuel. Ari runs one of the most influential portfolios in global sports, entertainment, and media. He oversees TKO, which includes the UFC and WWE, serves as the Executive Chairman of WME Group, and recently founded MARI, a new company focused on global events and live experiences. At the center of this conversation is Ari's anti-AI bet: as AI makes digital content cheaper and everyday work more automated, he believes the value will increasingly concentrate in live and physical experiences. He explains how he's building his portfolio around that belief, what defines a great live experience, and how he thinks about AI's impact on content and IP. Ari is best known as a dealmaker, and he shares the principles behind his success – relentless follow-up, over-communication, velocity, and an obsession with making things happen – and how those things become the operating system he uses today. If you're listening to this, I recommend watching the video of this interview. Ari's energy is constant and visceral, and gives a different dimension to this episode.

From $700 a Month to a $9B Giant: Building Life360 with Chris Hulls What happens when a founder ignores the “safe path,” bets on himself, and keeps going long after most people would've quit? In this episode of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, Jess sits down with Chris Hulls — Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Life360, the world's largest family safety platform with 90+ million monthly active users and a public valuation approaching $9 billion. Chris's journey is anything but conventional. He went from growing up in a small farm town… to enlisting in the Air Force at 17… to almost becoming a dishwasher at the South Pole… to dropping out of Harvard Business School… to living in a friend's closet on $700/month while building the first version of Life360. But the real story is what came next: —a category-defining pivot from disaster response to family location sharing, —launching on Android before anyone believed teens would ever have smartphones, —surviving seven slow years before meaningful traction, —and ultimately building a platform that detects car crashes, dispatches tens of thousands of ambulances a year, and has become a “social network for families.” Chris and Jess go deep into what it actually takes to scale from zero to multi-billion-dollar market cap: the messy pivots, the lucky breaks, the conviction bets, why too much “data-driven thinking” kills innovation, and why founders must learn to hold two opposing truths at once — relentless belief and complete surrender to the chaos. This is a conversation for founders, leaders, and anyone who wants to understand the real psychology behind building something massive from scratch. Learn more about your ad choices.
