Interview with Victor Cantore, CEO, Amex ExplorationOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/high-grade-projects-target-2026-production-to-take-advantage-of-4200-gold-price-8291Recording date: 2nd December 2025Amex Exploration is advancing a gold development project in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone belt that eliminates traditional mining financing challenges through a carefully structured phased approach. President and CEO Victor Cantore outlined how the company plans to bring its Perron property into production while maintaining an aggressive exploration program across more than 500 square kilometers of prospective ground.The company controls over 70 kilometers of strike length on one of the world's most prolific gold-producing regions. The Perron project hosts 831,000 ounces of gold at approximately half an ounce per ton, located adjacent to hydroelectric power, an available workforce, and supportive communities including local First Nations groups.Amex has structured a self-funding development model that avoids the capital-raising challenges facing most junior miners. Starting in 2027, the company will begin toll milling operations targeting 112,000 ounces annually at all-in sustaining costs around $1,100 per ounce. Pre-production revenue of $68 million combined with over $100 million from initial production phases will internally fund the $146 million capex requirement before any major construction begins."By 2027, when you're getting your first ore from there, even if gold is at $5,000 Canadian, which we're well above that today, that's over $100 million that's going to come in," Cantore explained. At gold prices exceeding $3,200 per ounce, the operation could generate margins of approximately $2,000 per ounce pre-tax.The phased approach deliberately avoids two common mining failures: tailings management facilities and incorrect mill sizing. After four years of toll milling providing operational data, Amex will invest $191 million in growth capital to build its own processing infrastructure. The company has already secured $25 million in exploration funding through 2026, supporting over 100,000 meters of drilling across existing properties and recently acquired Ontario assets. Future exploration will be funded from operating cash flow, eliminating shareholder dilution while expanding the resource base across this highly prospective land package.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/amex-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Segun Lawson, CEO of Thor Exploration Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/thor-exploration-lsethx-nigerian-pioneer-preps-18m-oz-senegal-gold-project-for-q4-pfs-7891Recording date: 3rd December 2025Thor Explorations presents a compelling investment opportunity combining immediate cash generation from low-cost, high-grade gold production with a self-funded development pipeline spanning near-term mine life extension, advanced-stage project construction, and genuine exploration discoveries across three West African jurisdictions.The company operates the 100%-owned Segilola gold mine in Nigeria, producing 90,000–95,000 ounces annually at all-in sustaining costs below $1,000 per ounce. At current gold prices above $4,000 per ounce, Thor captures operating margins exceeding $3,000 per ounce, creating substantial free cash flow that funds quarterly dividends whilst simultaneously financing aggressive exploration and development programmes without equity dilution. Q3 2025 operational results demonstrated this financial strength, with production of 22,600 ounces generating approximately $70 million in revenue. Management's strategic decision to withhold 3,000 ounces for Q4 sale above $4,000 per ounce positions the company for potentially record quarterly financial performance. Thor has completely repaid its project debt, achieving a debt-free balance sheet that provides exceptional strategic flexibility for capital allocation decisions. This financial position distinguishes Thor from capital-constrained peers and enables the company to advance multiple projects simultaneously across different development stages.The Segilola operation represents Thor's immediate value creation opportunity through mine life extension. The company has deployed five drilling rigs exploring beneath the existing pit, systematically intersecting high-grade underground mineralisation averaging 5.5 grams per tonne (g/t) compared to open pit grades of just over 4 g/t. With all infrastructure capital expenditure already sunk and operational expertise established, every additional ounce discovered creates what management characterizes as "super ounces" requiring minimal incremental capital to extract. Thor targets an updated resource estimate in Q1 2026 whilst also pursuing satellite deposits within a 50-kilometre radius of the processing plant. The company plans a pilot mining operation in 2026 at one southern target, supplementing an existing stockpile containing over 44,000 ounces representing more than $175 million in contained gold value.Thor's Douta project in Senegal represents material near-term production growth, with a preliminary feasibility study weeks from completion. The project carries estimated capital costs of $250–$300 million, of which Thor will self-fund $150 million from operational cash flows. The remaining $100 million will be sourced through debt financing with Africa Finance Corporation, which financed Segilola and maintains an equity stake. Management targets first gold production in Q1 2028 following an investment decision expected in H1 2026, with the project featuring a larger resource base than Segilola and approximately 10 years of mine life that would materially increase Thor's consolidated production profile.Early-stage exploration success in Côte d'Ivoire provides genuine blue-sky discovery potential. At Guitry, 4,600 metres of drilling has delineated six mineralised lenses with high-grade intersections including 10 metres at 10 g/t across just 15% of an 8-kilometre by 5-kilometre geochemical footprint. The Marahui project has identified 8 kilometres of drill targets with surface rock chips returning 10–17 g/t. Both projects advance toward maiden resource estimates in H1 2026 through continuous drilling programmes funded entirely from internal cash generation.Thor's investment proposition centres on operational execution, financial strength, and portfolio diversification. The company's ability to generate substantial cash flows whilst advancing multiple growth opportunities without external capital requirements creates a differentiated risk-reward profile. Multiple near-term catalysts through 2026 include the Douta feasibility study release, Segilola resource update, Côte d'Ivoire maiden resources, construction decision-making, and continued operational cash generation supported by elevated gold prices and proven low-cost production capabilities.View Thor Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/thor-explorations-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Most conversations in startups begin at zero: what's the idea, who's the customer, how big is the market. But the stage before that, when you know you're ready to be a founder yet the direction is still completely undefined. That strange, uncomfortable, high-potential zone Aditya Agarwal calls “minus one.”In this episode, Aditya and Prateek Mehta breaks down what happens in this “figuring out” stage. The questions people avoid, the habits that matter, and why some of the best companies begin long before their founders have any conviction.We get into how this stage is evolving in the AI era. Exploration cycles are faster, technical founders can test more directions than ever, and the gap between “I'm experimenting” and “I'm running a real company” has narrowed. India's builder ecosystem is shifting too: more second-time founders, more people with real outcomes behind them, and far more comfort sitting with ambiguity.Aditya shares his own minus-one moment after Facebook, his startup acquisition, Dropbox's IPO, and Flipkart, and why that transitional period changed the way he thinks about early-stage startups. Prateek brings on-the-ground view from Bangalore, where ambition, technical depth, and the appetite to explore hard problems from robotics to voice models to AI infra are rising.This episode is for anyone who feels they're between missions. Anyone who wants to understand why the most important part of building a company might actually be the time you spend before you even know what you're building.00:00- Trailer01:06- Aditya's journey to starting SPC after Facebook & Dropbox 03:48- A “learning club” for people in figuring-out stage06:23- 3 Northstars of the SPC community07:02- How SPC evolved from a community to a fund10:32- Not everyone should be a founder11:51- 1% selection rate13:53- Building conviction in 1 of 3 outcomes16:36- SPC is at PMF stage18:38- Mismatch of traditional VC's v/s rapid pace startups19:04- How AI has impacted investing at SPC26:32- How AI has changed VC firms29:02- Axis of curiosity replacing thesis30:17- Star Companies of SPC US33:34- Binny Bansal's role in starting SPC India37:16- Questions & confusions as founders in early stage39:50- Number of great entrepreneurs is NOT small41:49- Talent density in India vs Bay Area44:04- Founders don't need a culture of permission45:08- India tier 2 and 3 does invest heavily in AI46:11- AI is truly democratizing tech49:09- Math gives India advantage in AI51:48- A lot of science fiction is coming true-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/_mk7zmUDYsk  In this episode of Disability Deep Dive, hosts Keith and Jodi delve into the harrowing crisis of preventable deaths among individuals with intellectual disabilities. Joined by UK Professor Sara Ryan, author of "Critical Health and Learning Disabilities: an Exploration of Erasure and Social Murder," they discuss the systemic issues and inaction that allow these tragic deaths to persist. Professor Ryan shares personal anecdotes and case studies, highlighting the concept of 'social murder,' where known harmful conditions remain unaddressed. In the "Deep Cut" segment, they review the BBC drama "When Barbara Met Alan," which portrays the real-life struggles and triumphs of disability rights activists in the UK. The conversation emphasizes the importance of ongoing advocacy, public engagement, and the crucial need for enforcement and attitudinal shifts to achieve true equality. They also explore the differences between the UK's Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), examining the impact of grassroots activism on legislative change.  Sara Ryan's book, "Critical Health and Learning Disabilities: An Exploration of Erasure and Social Murder" - https://www.routledge.com/Critical-Health-and-Learning-Disabilities-An-Exploration-of-Erasure-and-Social-Murder/Ryan/p/book/9781032605005 

The Basilica of St. Mary Institute for Faith and Culture Presents: Beauty and the Beast, an Exploration of the Power of Beauty  Part 1 of 5 With Fr. James Searby  This first episode of Beauty and the Beast opens with one of the most unforgettable scenes in The Shawshank Redemption, where a single piece of music breaks open a prison and reminds hardened men that their souls are still alive. From there, we explore what beauty actually does to the human heart, why it stirs hope, and how it can lift us beyond the walls of our own routine and cynicism. Drawing on art history, architecture, philosophy, childhood wonder, and everyday encounters with beauty, Fr. James Searby lays out the story of how our culture drifted from a world shaped by transcendent beauty into a landscape that often feels flat and utilitarian. More importantly, he shows why beauty matters now more than ever, and how it can become an entry point for renewal, depth, and authentic encounter with God. This episode sets the foundation for the whole series, inviting you to slow down, look again, and rediscover the freedom and hope that beauty awakens in every soul.

The Basilica of St. Mary Institute for Faith and Culture Presents: Beauty and the Beast, an Exploration of the Power of Beauty, Part 2 With Fr. James Searby  In this second episode of Beauty and the Beast, we step deeper into the story itself and uncover why this simple tale carries so much spiritual and human truth. Fr. James Searby explores the opening arc of the Beast, not as a children's plot point, but as a mirror of our own culture's drift into subjectivism, hurry, and the loss of virtue. Drawing from the older French versions of the tale, the golden age of Disney storytelling, and the wisdom of Aquinas, Balthasar, Plato, John Paul II, Simone Weil, and more, he shows how beauty forms the soul and why its absence slowly makes us less human. Belle's contemplative posture in a frantic village becomes a lesson in resisting the rush of modern life, while the Beast's curse reveals what happens when we turn inward and forget who we are. This episode opens up the rose, the mirror, the meaning of enchantment, and the hard truth that love and beauty both require us to slow down and see reality again. It's a thoughtful, richly layered conversation that will change the way you watch the film and the way you understand your own hunger for what is beautiful, noble, and true.

The Basilica of St. Mary Institute for Faith and Culture Presents: Beauty and the Beast, an Exploration of the Power of Beauty, Part 3 With Fr. James Searby  In this third episode of Beauty and the Beast, Fr. James Searby takes us into the heart of why beauty matters so deeply, not only artistically, but spiritually and morally. This class looks at the collision between a culture shaped by modern narcissism and a Christian vision where beauty, truth, and goodness are real, objective, and radiant. Using the story of Beauty and the Beast as a lens, he explores how our hurried, self-referential age blinds us to beauty and slowly disconnects us from what makes us human. From the sacramental meaning of the body to the power of the Eucharist, from Freud's mirror to Milton's Satan, from Gaston's hollow charm to the Beast's slow awakening, this episode traces how distraction and self-creation deform the soul, and how beauty becomes the doorway back to reality. With help from Aquinas, Balthasar, Scruton, Simone Weil, John Paul II, and classic stories like The Sound of Music, Babette's Feast, and This Beautiful Fantastic, we learn how to train the eye, the heart, and the imagination to recognize real beauty again. This episode is both an unflinching diagnosis of our cultural moment and a hopeful call to rediscover the contemplative life that heals, restores, and opens us to God.

The Basilica of St. Mary Institute for Faith and Culture Presents: Beauty and the Beast, an Exploration of the Power of Beauty, Part 4 With Fr. James Searby  In this fourth class of Beauty and the Beast, we explore beauty as communion, the way beauty draws us out of isolation and into relationship. Through Maurice's tenderness, Belle's self-giving, and the gradual healing of the Beast's house, Fr. James Searby shows how beauty creates openness, vulnerability, and shared life. Drawing on Scruton, Simone Weil, Martha Graham, theatre, liturgy, and the communal nature of art, this episode traces how beauty breaks self-enclosure, makes space for others, and restores what fear and hurry have disordered. It also looks at the danger of cultural elitism in the arts and why beauty belongs to everyone, not to a select few. At its heart, this class reveals how beauty invites us into a deeper communion with God and one another, preparing the way for next week's theme of beauty as contemplation.

The Basilica of St. Mary Institute for Faith and Culture Presents: Beauty and the Beast, an Exploration of the Power of Beauty, Part 5 of 5 With Fr. James Searby  In this final class of Beauty and the Beast, we look at the tale's two feasts to understand beauty as a path back to communion, meaning, and sacramentality. The tavern scene becomes a picture of the ego- loud, empty, and isolating, while "Be Our Guest" reveals what self-giving love looks like when a community pours itself out in joy. From there, Fr. James Searby explores the vocation of the artist, the vulnerability of real creativity, and the way beauty acts almost like a sacramental, opening the soul to grace. This class traces the larger cultural story as well, from the Baroque renewal of the Church to the rise of modernity and postmodernity, and finally to our quiet rediscovery of wonder today. Using the fairy tale as a map, the episode shows how the loss of beauty disfigures a culture and how its return restores the human heart. At its center is the conviction that beauty heals, reveals, and reunites, and that when we allow ourselves to receive it, the beast in all of us begins to become whole again.

There is a quiet tremor beneath the floorboards of physics, a search for the hidden substance that carries every wave and whisper of the universe. We walk with James Ellias, @Inductica , through the fog of equations and theories, brushing his hands against the grain of the world, asking what material truth lies beneath our symbols. The conversation stirs old ghosts. Discarded mediums, forgotten experiments, the half-remembered language of matter trying to speak again. We reach for the slow turning toward something solid and ancient, the sense that reality still has a body awaiting embrace.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go! 00:04:37 Central Equations in Physics00:08:20 The Importance of a Medium in Physics00:10:00 Empowerment Through Understanding Physics00:12:36 Rationality and Truth in Society00:16:31 Existence vs Consciousness00:20:30 Discussion on Existence and Consciousness00:24:25 Role of Imagination in Existence00:28:10 Properties and Entities in Physics00:30:15 The Nature of Aether and Physical Mediums00:36:08 Clarity and Understanding in Physics00:40:26 Discussion on Force and Aether00:44:57 Relationship of Entities and Actions00:49:30 Theoretical Framework for Aether00:58:04 Exploration of Aether Theories01:00:40 Importance of Conciseness in Communication01:02:00 Understanding Physics Before Proposing Hypotheses01:05:15 Reevaluation of Flawed Theories01:09:35 The Evolution of Key Physics Concepts01:15:19 Context-Specific Nature of Constants01:19:43 Historical Context in Physics01:21:36 The Nature of Electrons01:25:53 J.J.

In this episode, Dr. Sharon Niv discusses her work at Joyus, a public benefit company focused on revolutionizing mental health care through personalized at-home microdose ketamine treatments.    Dr. Sharon explains the history of ketamine as a treatment for mental health, its mechanisms of action, and the importance of community support in the healing process.    Nick asks Dr. Sharon questions that address common concerns and stigma surrounding ketamine treatment, emphasizing its low risk and potential benefits.    Their conversation also explores the role of neuroplasticity in mental health recovery and the future of AI in therapy.    Dr. Sharon provides insights into personalized treatment protocols and encourages both patients and therapists to consider the benefits of ketamine therapy.   Key Takeaways:    Dr. Sharon Niv is a cognitive psychologist bridging neuroscience and therapy. Joyus offers personalized at-home microdose ketamine treatments. Ketamine was first synthesized in the 1950s and is used safely in medical settings. The drug has shown promise in treating severe depression and suicidality. Ketamine works primarily on the glutamate system, unlike traditional psychedelics. Lower doses of ketamine can provide therapeutic benefits without destabilizing experiences. Community support is crucial for individuals undergoing ketamine treatment. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to change and adapt, which is enhanced by ketamine. Personalized treatment protocols are essential for effective ketamine therapy.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore groundbreaking advancements in our understanding of the universe and the challenges faced in space exploration.Detecting Dark Matter: A Major BreakthroughAfter nearly a century of speculation, scientists may have finally detected dark matter. A report in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics reveals that gamma rays emitted from dark matter particle collisions have been observed using NASA's Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope. This discovery aligns with predictions about dark matter's existence and could signify a new particle not included in the current standard model of particle physics. If confirmed, this finding would represent one of the most significant developments in astronomy and physics to date.CHEOPS Spacecraft Nears MilestoneThe European Space Agency's CHEOPS (Characterizing Exoplanet Satellite) is approaching another milestone as it enters its sixth year of a mission initially planned for three and a half years. Launched in December 2019, CHEOPS aims to determine the size and characteristics of known exoplanets. With its 30-centimeter optical telescope, the spacecraft has been crucial in observing transiting exoplanets and will now extend its search to include exomoons, enhancing our understanding of planetary systems beyond our own.Disaster at Baikonur CosmodromeA major disaster struck at the Baikonur Cosmodrome during the launch of the Soyuz MS.28 spacecraft to the International Space Station. The mobile service platform collapsed due to the rocket's exhaust plume, resulting in significant damage to the launch pad. This incident leaves Russia without a functional facility for manned space missions for the first time in 60 years, delaying upcoming launches and posing challenges for future missions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle PhysicsEuropean Space Agency ReportsNASA News ReleasesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

Goodbye, old certainties. Hello, paradoxical truths of existence. Welcome, the new wisdom of being here now. The book is written for anyone seeking a clearer understanding of the shift that 20-21st century science has plunged us into. The new science - including, among other challenges to our outmoded mechanistic worldview, quantum physics - has overturned our assumptions about what is real and what is possible. The Universe in Black and White, illustrated with simple and appealing black-and-white drawings throughout, entertainingly explores the changes of paradigm that have already staked claims upon our attention - whether we are ready for them or not. Materialism has become a superstition - quaint, fanciful and uncool. Our brave new world is full of paradox. Form has been discovered to be empty, while emptiness is full to overflowing. In the cauldron of our own human consciousness the seen and the unseen become alchemized into an astonishing cosmic reality, which Terry Favour illuminates with wisdom, verve and wit. Terry Favour, while sustaining herself as an artist and designer, has exhaustively pursued the answer to the question, 'Who are we?' This passion has led her across a varied terrain, weaving back and forth through spiritual philosophy and science, from East to West. - www.terryfavour.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome, friends, to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! On this 30th day of November—day 335 in our journey through the Scriptures—Hunter invites us into an epic exploration through Romans chapters 1 to 4. Today's episode is all about discovering what it means to be made right with God, not by keeping the law, but through faith—just as Abraham did. Whether you're listening for spiritual encouragement or wanting to deepen your understanding of Scripture, Hunter walks with us through Paul's powerful message of grace, reminding us that God's love and truth are at the heart of our faith. With prayer, reflection, and encouragement, this episode is sure to warm your heart and inspire your journey. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's let the words of life guide us together! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Join the expedition. Paul is taking us on a beautiful, epic, amazing expedition. On a visit to Moses and Abraham. Paul says that they both point us to the Gospel of grace. Moses and the prophets show us a way to be made right with God. And it's not about keeping the law, which is completely contrary to what most people thought during his time. He wasn't trying to make us law abiding people. He was seeking to make humanity new with the laws that are written inside of our hearts. Not law abiding people, but God abiding people. And it's kind of the same today. So many Christians still think that it's about becoming law abiding. When the Gospel clearly proclaims that it is God who has come to abide with us in order that he might make us all new people. This is how God has made us right with himself. He's done the whole thing. Paul had an encounter with the person of Jesus and that changed everything. After meeting Jesus, he never read the Bible the same again. So that's my prayer for us every day when we come to the Scriptures. That we might encounter the God of love. The God who's come to us just as we are, to reveal Himself to us just as he is—full of grace and full of truth. And the prayer of my own heart today is that as we go on this adventure of faith, that as we look into the scriptures, we'll be able to see exactly what they're saying, that they are not the point. Moses and the prophets are not the point, but they do indeed point us to the source of life, the one alone who has made us right with the Father. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. And that's the prayer that I have for my family. And that's the prayer that I have for you, dear friend. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

The book Answer to Job was the one work Jung said he would never change. In it he “psychoanalyses” Yahweh, challenges the Christian God, insists that God, across our evolution, has been entering into humanity as a unconscious complex of opposites requiring integration through the human psyche. This is the purpose of human consciousness and this book was Jung's bible. Like the Christian bible it ends with an apocalypse – an unveiling.

Interview with Sam Hartmann, VP Exploration, and Dev Randhawa, Chairman & CEO, of F3 Uranium Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/f3-uranium-tsxvfuu-billion-dollar-discovery-team-strikes-again-in-worlds-best-uranium-district-7874Recording date: 27th November 2025F3 Uranium Corp. (TSXV: FUU) has completed a $20 million financing to fund a year-long drilling campaign at its Tetra Zone discovery in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The financing, which included $15 million in flow-through funds, brings the company's treasury to $30 million and eliminates near-term dilution pressure as the exploration program advances.CEO Dev Randhawa explained the strategic shift toward Tetra Zone, which has emerged as the company's primary focus after the JR Zone failed to grow as anticipated. Despite JR's promising initial indicators, including peak grades of 4.5 meters at 50% uranium along a large conductor, the system has not delivered the expansion investors expected. Tetra Zone, by contrast, shows significantly greater potential with 60 meters of mineralization-three times what JR produced-sits just 12 kilometers from the Arrow and Triple R deposits along an apparent productive geological trend.Recent drilling results support management's confidence in the discovery. The most recent hole intersected mineralization in a 15-meter step-out, with scintillometer readings exceeding 10,000 counts per second across 30+ meters. Chief Geologist Sam Hartmann estimates a 2.3-meter high-grade interval "will be well over a percent" when laboratory assays are returned. This successful step-out confirms both continuity and the geological model's predictive capability.The technical understanding of Tetra has evolved considerably from initial interpretations. Unlike typical Athabasca deposits controlled by graphitic conductors, Tetra appears to be shear-zone-controlled, with mineralization in micaceous structures that generate weaker geophysical signatures. This realization explains why early drilling repeatedly intersected mineralization at unexpected depths and has enabled more confident targeting going forward.F3's systematic approach involves methodical 25-50-100 meter step-outs to balance resource definition with expansion testing. With an experienced discovery team that previously found Waterbury and contributed to the Triple R discovery (sold for approximately $1 billion), the company is positioned to methodically test whether Tetra can join the ranks of significant Athabasca Basin uranium deposits. Regular drilling results are expected throughout 2026 as the delineation program progresses.View F3 Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/f3-uranium-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Here's part two of the discussion about David Brooks's book, How to Know a Person. Brooks' book addresses topics and ideas central to being human - and are maybe more relevant to the workplace - which is a ready made community to apply the principles of knowing each other.  This is a two parter because there is A LOT to talk about.   Brooks suggests that the ability to see others deeply—and to allow ourselves to be deeply seen—is essential to human flourishing. He posits that many of today's social ills, including the loneliness epidemic and widespread mistrust, stem from our habit of skimming relationships, treating people as functions rather than as full, complex selves. The workplace, where we discover what people truly need—everything from health care, rest, culture, belonging—is one of the most powerful settings for rebuilding this lost capacity. Brooks frames the aspiration of knowing others through the figure of the Illuminator, the person who makes others feel visible, valued, and understood. People - and particularly leaders - who act as Illuminators create psychological safety, mattering, and authenticity— can be cornerstones of strong workplace culture. Illuminators ask better questions, remain present in conversation, and resist one-size-fits-all assumptions. Their counterpart, the Diminisher, those who unintentionally lessen others, sees people through narrow judgment or distraction. The book unfolds in three broad movements. “I See You” explores the foundations of genuine perception: curiosity, disciplined attention, and the humility to resist fast judgment. Brooks examines the obstacles—egotism, anxiety, naive realism, static mindsets—and contrasts them with the qualities that bring people closer: tenderness, receptivity, affection, generosity. Good conversation becomes an act of care: listening loudly, favoring familiarity, asking questions that make the speaker the author of their experience, and embracing silence as meaning-making. “I See You in Your Struggles” addresses how disconnection fuels political animosity, technological dehumanization, and profound loneliness. When people aren't seen, misunderstandings escalate—even to violence. Brooks emphasizes this concept he calls accompaniment: which means being with someone in hardship without rushing to fix them, honoring their unique point of view, and approaching them with humility. Finally, “I See You With Your Strengths” turns to helping people live into their gifts. Understanding personality traits, life stage, and changing identities allows us to appreciate people in their evolving fullness. Seeing others deeply—at work and beyond—is ultimately the antidote to loneliness and a path to more humane, connected communities - and, as Brooks posits, may even be part of the antidote to our political divide.

…with Dr. Marc Skelton. In this episode we bridge the gap between classroom practice and psychological theory to share actionable strategies for fostering student success. Drawing on years of teaching experience to research at the University of Warwick, Marc breaks down what truly drives student engagement. Marc introduces us to Paulo Freire's "banking model" of education, and advocates for a shift to active, meaningful learning where students are co-creators of knowledge. The core of the conversation centres on Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), exploring Barry Zimmerman's three phases: Forethought (planning), Performance (the "missing middle" of self-monitoring), and Self-Reflection (learning from experience). We then dive into the Transformative Power of Goal Setting, emphasizing that success requires both Agency ("I can do this") and Pathways (concrete plans). Learn about the impact of Goal Diaries and the critical role of Meaningful Talk and Social Support in sustaining motivation. Finally, we discuss how educators can redefine success by celebrating Achievement (personal growth) over mere Attainment (grades), creating classrooms where every student thrives. Bullet points:  Dual role of the speaker as a teacher and researcher in educational psychology. Journey into teaching mathematics and interest in educational psychology. Exploration of student motivation and engagement in learning. Influence of Paulo Freire's pedagogy and Albert Bandura's agency theory on educational practices. Development of a tutor time program focused on metacognition and self-regulated learning. Insights from research on definitions and perceptions of learning among students and teachers. Distinction between attainment (external measures) and achievement (personal significance) in education. Importance of self-regulated learning, goal setting, and meaningful communication in enhancing student motivation. Findings on the impact of social interaction and support on students' goal achievement and well-being. Advocacy for integrating psychological principles into educational practices to foster meaningful learning experiences.

Breakthrough in Dark Matter Research: A potential game-changing discovery has emerged in the search for dark matter. An astronomer from the University of Tokyo has detected high-energy gamma rays that align with theoretical predictions for dark matter particle collisions. This intriguing signal could provide the first direct evidence of dark matter, specifically linked to the hypothesized WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles), marking a monumental step in understanding one of the universe's greatest mysteries.Busy Week for Rocket Launches: This week is set to be a thrilling one for space enthusiasts, with a total of seven launches from five different rockets worldwide. SpaceX leads the way with three Falcon 9 missions, while a Russian Soyuz rocket will carry new crew members to the ISS. Additionally, military payloads and satellite launches from South Korea and French Guiana round out this international showcase of space exploration.Perseverance Rover's Curious Find: The Perseverance rover has discovered a sculpted rock on Mars, nicknamed Phi Staxhla, which is composed of iron and nickel—indicative of a meteorite. If confirmed, this would be the first meteorite identified by Perseverance since its landing in February 2021, offering a fascinating glimpse into the planet's history.Osiris Apophis Explorer's Earth Philip: The Osiris Apophis Explorer spacecraft, previously known for its sample return from asteroid Bennu, recently completed a gravity assist flyby of Earth. Flying within 2,100 miles of our planet, the spacecraft successfully calibrated its instruments, capturing stunning images of Earth as it prepares for its new mission targeting asteroid Apophis.Escapade Mission's First Selfies: NASA's Escapade mission, featuring twin spacecraft, has sent back its first selfies, confirming that its camera system is functioning properly. This reassuring image marks a significant milestone as the spacecraft embark on their long journey, ready to explore the mysteries of our solar system.Boiling Oceans on Icy Moons: A groundbreaking study suggests that even small icy moons, previously thought to be frozen solid, might host boiling oceans. Tidal forces could generate enough heat in their cores to keep water in a liquid state, potentially creating environments suitable for life, even in total darkness. This discovery expands the search for habitable worlds beyond traditional boundaries.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Doppelt so schnell zu sein bringt dir nichts, wenn du in die falsche Richtung läufst. Viele Founder tappen in die "Productivity Trap": Sie optimieren ihren Output, haben aber keine Klarheit über ihr eigentliches Ziel. Mike teilt seine Learnings aus 10 Jahren radikaler Exploration – warum er Robotik und Mathe studiert hat, um am Ende doch Unternehmer zu werden, und wie du systematisch herausfindest, was du wirklich willst.

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

Today's guest is Austin Jochum. Austin Jochum is the founder of Jochum Strength, a former All-Conference safety turned performance coach known for playful, movement-rich training. He blends strength, speed, and adaptability to help athletes build real-world capability and enjoy the process. So often, coaches inadvertently play by the formal “rules” of coaching, through substantial instruction, within smaller boxes of training. Gameplay and sport itself are the ultimate example of task-based stimulation, chaos, and problem-solving, and the more we learn from it, the more effective our training can become. In this episode, Austin Jochum and I explore how coaching transforms when you trade rigid cues for play, stimulus, and athlete-driven learning. We dig into why intent and novelty matter, how to “win the day” without chasing constant PRs, and the power of environments that let athletes self-organize. Austin speaks on his recent dive into improving his Olympic lifting, and subsequent improvement in explosive athletic power, along with the masculine and feminine nature of the snatch and clean and jerk, respectively. Finally, Austin also breaks down the JST Olympics—his team-based approach that's exploding motivation, competition, and performance in the gym.

(https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) 0:00 – Austin's background, wrestling influence, and early training lens 8:12 – How wrestling shaped his coaching, problem-solving, and creativity 14:30 – Working with movement constraints, unpredictability, and the “maze” idea 22:40 – Why he prioritizes exploration over instruction 31:18 – Building athletic bandwidth through games and environmental design 38:01 – Touch on wrestling in training and contact-oriented movement 45:10 – Heavy rope training, rhythm, and full-body sequencing 52:46 – Hiring coaches and building culture inside his gym 1:01:37 – Athlete intuitiveness, imitation, and imitation-driven learning 1:10:55 – Recovery methods, cold exposure, and principles behind them 1:18:42 – Breathing mechanics, sensory awareness, and relaxation 1:24:52 – Tempo, rhythm, and “feel” in athletic movement 1:30:48 – Coaching philosophy and where Austin is heading next Actionable Takeaways 8:12 – Use problem-solving sports to shape athletic intelligence Wrestling taught Austin to read bodies, adapt instantly, and explore solutions without external cues. Add low-level grappling or tagging games to build instinctive reaction. Favor tasks where athletes solve problems on their own rather than through constant cueing. Let athletes “feel” leverage, pressure, and timing instead of explaining it. 14:30 – Build constraints that shape behavior instead of commanding technique Austin's “maze” concept uses environment and rules to funnel athletes into better movement patterns. Use boundaries, footwork boxes, or timing rules to nudge athletes into desired solutions. Ask “what would make the athlete naturally move better?” instead of “how do I cue it?” Encourage unpredictable tasks that force athletes to explore and adapt. 22:40 – Exploration outperforms instruction for long-term development Austin finds that athletes learn faster when they discover solutions. Give them space to experiment before layering instruction. Adjust one variable at a time and let athletes reorganize around it. Use questions (“What did you feel? What would you try next?”) to guide reflection. 31:18 – Games expand movement bandwidth Austin uses play-based drills to build coordination, elasticity, and adaptability. Rotate games: tag, dodgeball variations, reactive pursuit, to challenge perception-action loops. Use small-sided tasks to increase decision density without overthinking. Keep the focus on fun: fun increases intent and frees up movement quality. 38:01 – Use wrestling-inspired drills for strength without rigidity Wrestling movements gave Austin strong connective tissue without bulky lifting. Use partner-resistance tasks for whole-body strength and tension awareness. Build isometrics out of wrestling positions for joint integrity. Allow controlled chaos; body contact builds stabilizing capacity. 45:10 – Heavy rope work for rhythm, sequencing, and tissue tolerance Austin relies on heavy rope patterns for global coordination. Use ropes to sync hands, feet, hips, and breath. Program flowing, continuous patterns to teach timing and smooth force transfer. Start with simple rhythms, then build patterns that cross midline. 52:46 – Culture and community determine training success Austin emphasizes hiring people who share curiosity and a growth mindset. Build environments where coaches model exploration, not perfection. Encourage shared training, shared learning, and open dialogue. Make the gym a place where athletes feel safe to try new things. 1:01:37 – Encourage imitation and athlete-led learning Austin sees imitation as a primary learning driver. Let athletes watch each other and imitate good movers. Create partner structures where athletes observe and mirror. Limit over-coaching so imitation can self-organize movement. 1:10:55 – Use recovery tools to teach regulation, not toughness Cold exposure and breathing work are about awareness and control. Focus on downregulation, not chasing extreme discomfort. Teach athletes how to relax under stress through controlled exposures. Keep recovery practices consistent and simple. 1:18:42 – Breathing for awareness and movement refinement Austin uses breath as a sensory anchor for better movement feel. Teach nasal breathing during warmups to increase internal awareness. Pair breath with movement tasks to improve timing and relaxation. Explore slow breathing to reduce unnecessary tension. 1:24:52 – Rhythm and tempo drive better movement than force Austin believes rhythm is the “glue” of athleticism. Use music, metronomes, or rhythmic cues to build flow. Train movements at different tempos to expand adaptability. Emphasize smoothness over force output when teaching skills. 1:30:48 – Stay curious and evolve your practice Austin's philosophy centers around lifelong learning. Revisit old drills with new perspectives. Explore different disciplines (dance, wrestling, martial arts). Let your own training experiment inform your coaching. Quotes from Austin Jochum “Wrestling taught me to solve problems in real time. You can't fake instinct in that environment.” “When you build the right constraint, you don't have to coach as much. The environment does the teaching.” “Exploration gives athletes ownership. They learn the lesson at a deeper level.” “Games create bandwidth. The more options you give the athlete, the more adaptable they become.” “Wrestling positions gave me strength that the weight room couldn't.” “Ropes taught me rhythm and timing. They connect the whole body.” “Culture is the system. If the environment is right, the training takes care of itself.” “I want athletes to imitate great movement, not memorize cues.” “Cold exposure isn't toughness. It's learning how to regulate yourself under stress.” “Breathing is awareness. It gives you access to better movement.” “Rhythm is the missing piece in performance. Smooth beats strong.” “The more curious I am, the better my athletes get.” About Austin Jochum Austin Jochum is the founder of Jochum Strength, a performance coach known for blending old-school grit with modern movement science. A former University of St. Thomas football player and All-Conference safety, Austin built his philosophy around “training the human first,” emphasizing play, adaptability, and athletic expression over rigid templates. His coaching blends strength, speed, breathwork, and movement variability, creating athletes who are not just powerful—but resilient and skillful in chaotic environments.

In this surprise-topic conversation, Rebbe Dr. Marc Gafni takes us deep into the esoteric and magical threads of Kabbalah-  first confirming that magic is real-  exploring how invisible forces connect all things and how we can participate in them through intention, devotion, and love.Moving beyond *only the realm of* spells and mysticism, Marc reveals how magic manifests in everyday moments: a dinner party where everyone comes alive, a comedian generating waves of collective laughter, or the courage to walk across life's narrow bridges without fear. He distinguishes between sacred magic—which creates wholeness * and blessing* catalyzing  everyone's highest Unique Self—and black magic, which fragments and diminishes and curses*The conversation ventures into profound territory: Why did faith in protective magic fail some Jewish communities during WWII? How does magic operate alongside other cosmic forces? What role does prophecy and the divine whisper (Lehishah) play in our lives? Marc shares validated stories of inexplicable protection during wartime while maintaining brutal intellectual honesty about magic's place in a multi-dimensional reality.At its core, this dialogue explores how we access magic through "outrageous love". which is the courage that comes from keeping our hearts ripped open, staying in conversation even when it's difficult, and blessing rather than cursing. Marc shows* that tears are *elixirs of magic* —* magical rivulets*of ecstasy, empathy, and connection—are the most direct access point to the magical dimension of existence. | Dr. Marc Gafni |Substack: ⁠https://substack.com/@marcgafni⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/marcgafni/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/MarcGafni⁠Twitter:⁠https://twitter.com/MarcGafni⁠ Whole Mate: the Future of Relationships⁠https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4PZ9V5B/⁠Join the revolution: ⁠https://www.centerforworldphilosophyandreligion.com/jointherevolution⁠This episode is sponsored byMetal Mark Golden Collectable Art |  ⁠https://mtlmrk.com/⁠Korrect Energy | ⁠https://korrectlife.com/Hone Health | https://shorturl.at/JvhAJ| Aubrey Marcus |Website |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2GesYqi ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2BlfCEO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2F4nBZk ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X | ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2BlGBAdAd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus newsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To partner with the Aubrey Marcus Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:iTunes |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apple.co/2lMZRCn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stitcher |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2G8ccJt ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IHeartRadio |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
