Podcasts about Feasibility

In today's episode, we're joined by Jeff Court, CEO of Tungsten West, the company redeveloping the Hemerdon tungsten project in Devon, UK Jeff's worked on mining projects all over the world, and we'll be talking about his journey into leadership, why tungsten is such a critical mineral, and what it takes to bring a historic mine back into production. We'll also cover the company's new feasibility study, financing challenges, and what the EU Critical Raw Materials Act means for Hemerdon. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tungsten is classified as a critical mineral due to its unique properties, such as high density and tensile strength, making it essential in various industries, including mining, construction, transportation, and defence. Tungsten West requires approximately $93 million to restart production at the Hemerdon project, with funding expected to come from a combination of debt and equity. The feasibility study indicates a strong economic outlook, with a potential internal rate of return (IRR) of around 48%. The project incorporates modern mining practices focused on sustainability, including noise reduction measures and community engagement to ensure compliance with environmental standards and to maintain good relations with local residents. The Hemerdon project has been designated as a strategic project under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act, which enhances its profile and may facilitate access to government-backed funding BEST MOMENTS "Tungsten's not gold, it's not iron ore, it's a very interesting specialty metal space that also has a lot of off-take supply requirements around it too."  "We have about a 12-month period before we start production."  "It raises profile, certainly... it solidifies our credentials."  "We want to be a good neighbour. We're going to be there a minimum of 40 years."  VALUABLE RESOURCES Mail:        ⁠rob@mining-international.org⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/⁠ X:              ⁠https://twitter.com/MiningRobTyson⁠  YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/DigDeepTheMiningPodcast⁠  Web:        ⁠http://www.mining-international.org⁠ GUEST SOCIALS  X - @TungstenWest https://x.com/TungstenWest LinkedIn - @ Tungsten West plc https://www.linkedin.com/company/tungsten-west-plc/ Facebook - Tungsten West plc https://www.facebook.com/tungstenwest/ Website: https://www.tungstenwest.com/  Contact: TungstenWest@blytheray.com CONTACT METHOD ⁠rob@mining-international.org⁠ ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/⁠ Podcast Description Rob Tyson is an established recruiter in the mining and quarrying sector and decided to produce the “Dig Deep” The Mining Podcast to provide valuable and informative content around the mining industry.

Modern robotic picking is moving beyond neat rows and perfect lighting conditions. In this Automate 2025 conversation, Vlad and Dave sit down with Kevin Wu from Siemens to explore how Simatic Robot Pick AI Pro is tackling the messy reality of warehouses and factories. They discuss how the new edge architecture with the Simatic IPC BX 59 A and an NVIDIA GPU lifts pick rates to well over one thousand picks per hour, why multiple suction patterns matter for stability on large or flexible items, how camera agnostic support opens the door to new vision hardware, and why transparent objects are no longer a limitation in many applications.This episode also dives into digital thread and digital twin workflows using Siemens Process Simulate. These tools allow teams to test new products and layouts virtually before any hardware changes are made, helping reduce commissioning risk and shorten the path to production. The discussion highlights an on-booth demonstration that combines a robot with a secondary camera and a vision language model to identify products and read packaging details such as expiration dates. It is a clear example of how multimodal AI can complement traditional industrial vision systems.A major theme throughout this conversation is resilience. In real operations, products are rarely placed perfectly. Pallets shift, orientations vary, and lighting changes throughout the day. Traditional rules-based vision systems often struggle when small variances accumulate. Kevin explains how model-free 3D picking localizes unknown objects in clutter, selects stable suction patterns based on measured dimensions, and keeps production moving without forcing operators to maintain perfect alignment.For manufacturers in consumer packaged goods and medical devices, this is a meaningful advancement. It enables greater product variety and frequent SKU changes while maintaining engineering control. The difference is that the picking logic adapts to what the system sees rather than expecting the environment to remain static.We also talk about practical evaluation and proof of concept. Siemens runs application testing at its Berkeley, California lab where customers can send sample parts for quick feasibility checks. A short video of their parts being picked can provide the confidence needed to move forward with a pilot project while minimizing cost and risk. For quality inspection and defect detection, Siemens also offers an Inspector station capable of learning from as few as twenty samples to identify defects in real time.The discussion closes by looking at the future of digital manufacturing. Digital thread tools make it possible to simulate robots from multiple brands, test new configurations, and evaluate throughput virtually. Combined with edge AI and NVIDIA vision language technology, this creates faster experimentation cycles, improved reliability, and measurable gains in uptime and throughput.Kevin's key message is clear. Manufacturers do not need to replace existing automation to explore the benefits of AI. Start with one process, validate performance, and build from there.Timestamps 00:00 Welcome and why real-world picking matters 00:40 Introduction to Pick AI Pro and new throughput capabilities 01:30 Multi suction patterns for stable handling of large items 02:20 Camera agnostic approach and transparent object handling 03:30 Selecting components for high-temperature environments 04:15 Use cases in consumer packaged goods and medical applications 06:45 Digital twin and digital thread with Siemens Process Simulate 08:30 Feasibility testing and customer demos at the Siemens lab 10:30 Vision language model for product identification and labeling 12:10 Evaluating with real parts and rapid testing cycles 14:20 Siemens Inspector for defect detection and visual inspection 15:40 Key takeaways and future outlookReferences and Resources Mentioned Siemens Simatic Robot Pick AI Overview https://www.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/topic-areas/tia/future-topics/simatic-robotics-ai.htmlSiemens Press Release on Simatic Robot Pick AI Pro https://press.siemens.com/global/en/pressrelease/siemens-presents-future-intralogistics-simatic-robot-pick-ai-pro-enables-machineSiemens Simatic IPC BX 59 A Industrial Edge Device with NVIDIA GPU https://www.automationworld.com/products/data/product/55287446/siemens-ag-siemens-simatic-ipc-bx-59a-industrial-edge-deviceSiemens IPC BX 59 A Operating Instructions https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/attachments/109972660/ipcbx56a_and_ipcbx59a_operating_instructions_enUS_en-US.pdfUniversal Robots Example with Simatic Robot Pick AI https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109822788/simatic-robot-pick-ai-with-universal-robots-ur5Zivid Transparent Object Imaging Information https://www.zivid.com/zivid-omni-engine-transparency https://blog.zivid.com/zivid-omni-engineSiemens Digital Thread Overview and Tecnomatix Process Simulate https://www.sw.siemens.com/en-US/digital-thread/ https://plm.sw.siemens.com/en-US/tecnomatix/NVIDIA Vision Language Model Resources https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/vision-language-models/latest/introduction.html https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/vision-language-model-prompt-engineering-guide-for-image-and-video-understanding/Hosts Vlad Romanov is an electrical engineer and manufacturing consultant who leads Joltek and co-hosts the Manufacturing Hub Podcast.

In this KE Report Daily Editorial, we're joined by Brien Lundin, Editor of Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference (Nov. 2–5), to discuss the powerful rally across precious metals and the historic wave of financings sweeping through the junior mining sector. Key Discussion Highlights: Unprecedented capital inflows: Gold nearing $4,300/oz and silver topping $53/oz have triggered a flood of financings - many without warrants, rapidly upsized, and often the largest in company histories. Institutional money returns: Deep-pocketed generalist and hedge fund investors are pouring in, marking a seismic shift for the mining industry. What companies will do with the cash: With exploration budgets surging, Brien expects both inefficiency and discovery - some waste, but also new mines and mid-tier producers emerging. Valuation catch-up coming: Feasibility studies using $2,000–$2,500 gold are now badly outdated; developers could see massive re-ratings as markets recalibrate to current prices. Exploration strategy: How to approach pre-discovery and early-stage drill stories, and why management quality, technical depth, and early hints still matter most in a hot market. Stocks mentioned: Aftermath Silver (AAG.V / AAGFF), Blackrock Silver (BRC.V / BKRRF), Delta Resources (DLTA.V), Contango Ore (CTGO), Collective Mining (CNL.TO), Prospector Metals (PPP.V).

In this episode, host Nathan Battishall exposes what he calls the biggest lie in residential development: the idea that simply finding the right site will guarantee you make plenty of money. He argues this myth, often fueled by picture-perfect social media posts, hides the true struggles of development and costs aspiring developers millions. Behind the glamorous facade, many projects are actually filled with financing hurdles, design challenges, slow approvals, and unrealistic timelines that drain profitability.To combat this, Nathan provides a practical three-step roadmap to build smarter and more profitable projects. This framework focuses on prioritizing rigorous feasibility studies, building with significant cost and time buffers, and the critical rule of assembling your expert team before you buy a site. Using real-world examples, he contrasts the costly failure of a developer who bought a site unprepared with the record-breaking success of one who followed the process correctly. This episode is a crucial guide for anyone looking to avoid common pitfalls and treat their development projects like a serious business, not a hobby.Topics: ✅ The Biggest Lie Costing Developers Millions ✅ The Hidden Reality Behind Social Media ✅ Why Your Feasibility Must Come First ✅ Building Projects with Time & Cost Buffers ✅ Assembling Your Team Before the Site ✅ Treating Your Project Like a BusinessConnect with Nathan Battishall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanbattishall/Website: https://duplexbuildingdesign.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Could a simple supplement that bodybuilders use to build muscle actually help fight Alzheimer's disease? Dr. Matthew Taylor from the University of Kansas reveals surprising results from her groundbreaking clinical trial testing high-dose creatine in Alzheimer's patientsIn this episode, Dr. Matthew Taylor discusses his pioneering research on creatine supplementation for Alzheimer's disease, addressing a critical gap in brain energy metabolism that worsens with aging and becomes severely impaired in dementia. His 8-week clinical trial gave 20 Alzheimer's patients 20 grams of creatine daily - a bodybuilder's loading dose - and found remarkable improvements in memory, executive function, and even unexpected gains in reading comprehension. Using advanced MRI spectroscopy, his team confirmed that creatine actually reaches the brain, increasing levels by 11%. Beyond cognitive benefits, participants also showed significant improvements in hand grip strength and muscle mass. Dr. Taylor explains how brain energy metabolism creates a vicious cycle in Alzheimer's, explores whether creatine could prevent dementia in healthy aging, and reveals his plans for combining creatine with ketogenic diet approaches. This conversation offers hope for a simple, accessible intervention that could help millions facing cognitive decline.

U.S. Gold Corp. Chairman Luke Norman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's two flagship assets, highlighting steady progress at the CK Gold Project in Wyoming and a renewed strategic focus on the Keystone Project in Nevada. Norman reported that U.S. Gold is moving “full steam ahead” into the final stage of its Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) at CK Gold. Site preparation is now underway, supported by a newly signed agreement with Black Hills Energy to secure long-term power transmission for the project. In addition, road construction has begun, ensuring critical infrastructure will be in place as the project advances. With the DFS nearing completion, Norman confirmed that financing decisions are expected before year-end, setting the stage for CK Gold's transition into development. Turning to Nevada, Norman emphasized the district-scale potential of the company's Keystone Project, located just across from Barrick Gold's world-class Cortez Complex—one of the richest gold-producing regions on the planet. He drew attention to recent exploration success in the area, noting Barrick's high-profile Four Mile discovery, which has added significant value to its nearby operations. Keystone, Norman explained, shares geological similarities with Cortez, including a massive arsenic anomaly that he described as “the richest endowment of arsenic that many geologists in Nevada have ever seen.” Such anomalies are considered strong indicators of gold mineralization in Carlin-type systems, which have historically hosted some of Nevada's largest and most profitable gold deposits. While historical drilling at Keystone has been relatively limited, U.S. Gold now controls a fully consolidated district-scale land package, positioning it to systematically explore a property with the right geological markers for a potentially transformative discovery. Norman acknowledged that advancing Keystone will require new capital, but underscored its potential as a long-term growth driver for the company. #proactiveinvestors #usgoldcorp #nasdaq #usau #mining #gold #copper USGoldCorp, #Mining #CKGoldProject #MiningInvestment #GoldMining #FeasibilityStudy #PowerInfrastructure #ProjectFinancing #MiningDevelopment #GoldStocks #WyomingMining

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major step forward in the company's financing strategy with the signing of an agreement with Integrity Capital Group, which will act as lead agent and bookrunner for a new “best efforts” private placement financing. The offering will consist of up to 25,000,000 units for gross proceeds of up to $15 million. Passalacqua explained that the financing, being conducted under a Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (LIFE) offering, represents one of the company's largest raises to date. It comes on top of $20 million already secured in the past six months, bringing total capital raised to $35 million during that period. He noted that the decision to move forward with this financing reflects the company's strategy to “fully de-risk the company” as it advances both its upstream and downstream initiatives. The additional capital will allow First Phosphate to progress its Bégin-Lamarche igneous phosphate mine in Quebec, while simultaneously laying the groundwork for downstream processing facilities aimed at supplying the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery sector. Discussing the financing environment for mining companies, Passalacqua highlighted the industry challenge known as the “Valley of Death,” the capital-intensive stage between completing preliminary economic assessments (PEAs) and advancing toward feasibility studies and permitting. He emphasized that First Phosphate is now well-capitalized to cross this stage without having to rely on royalties, debt, or additional dilution—an important differentiator for shareholders. Looking ahead, the company plans to launch metallurgical bulk sampling, definition drilling, and environmental programs this fall, with all results feeding into a feasibility study targeted for completion by the end of 2026. Permitting efforts are scheduled to commence shortly thereafter, with approvals anticipated by Q1 2027. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries #dod

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide details on the company's latest financing milestone. The company has officially closed the third tranche of its non-brokered private placement financing, which, combined with earlier tranches, brought in gross proceeds of $11.4 million. This included the issuance of 9,785,000 Hard Dollar Units generating $4.89 million in proceeds. Passalacqua explained that, in total, First Phosphate has now raised approximately $39.9 million through nine management-led non-brokered private placements since June 2022, underscoring consistent investor confidence. Importantly, $19.6 million of that total has been secured within the last five months alone, reflecting growing momentum. The latest financing round also attracted support from a mix of long-only private family offices and institutional funds, including the participation of AlphaNorth Asset Management. With this strengthened balance sheet, First Phosphate is well-capitalized to execute on its development roadmap. The company remains on schedule to deliver a completed feasibility study by the end of 2026, secure mining permits by mid-2027, and bring an operating igneous phosphate mine online by mid-2029. These milestones will be supported by definitive, bankable offtake agreements already in place, positioning First Phosphate as a critical supplier in the North American phosphate supply chain. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries #dod

Interview with Joseph Ovsenek, President & CEO of P2 Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/p2-gold-inc-tsxvpgld-35moz-project-advances-on-metallurgical-breakthrough-7826Recording date: 11th September 2025P2 Gold presents one of the most compelling value propositions in the current gold mining sector, offering investors exposure to a high-quality Nevada development project with exceptional economics and experienced management execution capabilities. The company's Gabbs project demonstrates robust financial metrics that appear significantly disconnected from its current market valuation, creating a substantial opportunity for value recognition and appreciation.The project's preliminary assessment reveals impressive economics with a 62% internal rate of return and $700 million net present value at a 10% discount rate when current metal prices are applied. These figures stand in stark contrast to P2 Gold's market capitalization of just $25 million, suggesting a potential 28-fold upside if the market recognizes the project's intrinsic value. The 3.5 million ounce gold equivalent resource base provides substantial scale, while the Nevada location offers regulatory advantages and established mining infrastructure that reduce development risks.Recent metallurgical breakthroughs represent a significant catalyst for enhanced project economics and accelerated development timelines. Phase 3 metallurgical results demonstrated remarkable improvements, with gold recovery rates increasing from 78% to 85% and copper recovery jumping from 54% to 67%. Perhaps more importantly, extraction kinetics improved dramatically, with 98% of gold now recoverable in 58 days compared to the previous 145-day timeline. This improvement could reduce capital expenditure requirements and project footprint size when advancing to feasibility study.Management credibility provides crucial execution confidence for investors evaluating development-stage mining opportunities. CEO Joseph Ovsenek and Chief Exploration Officer Ken McNaughton previously collaborated at Pretium Resources, successfully advancing the Bruce Jack project from discovery to production in under eight years. Their proven track record demonstrates capability in navigating complex development processes including resource expansion, permitting, financing, and construction management. The team's philosophy of setting aggressive targets and maintaining development momentum has translated into P2 Gold's ambitious 2028 production timeline.The company's strategic approach to development acceleration includes skipping pre-feasibility study and advancing directly to feasibility based on extensive historical data and the project's straightforward heap leach processing characteristics. This decision could compress typical development timelines while leveraging Nevada's established regulatory framework and heap leach infrastructure. The addition of SART plant technology for gold and copper oxide recovery represents the primary technical innovation required, with numerous similar facilities already operating successfully.Near-term catalysts provide multiple opportunities for market recognition and potential re-rating over the next 12 months. Expansion and infill drilling beginning in mid-to-late October should generate results over six months, potentially expanding the resource base and providing additional geological confidence.

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Tom Loarie talks with Mai Nguyen, PhD, the remarkable 36-year-old neuroscientist who is the co-founder and CEO of OptoCeutics and the inventor of EVY LIGHT®, a breakthrough light-based therapy aimed at slowing the progression of Alzheimer's and other memory disorders. Her journey is anything but ordinary. Born in Vietnam, raised in California as the youngest of nine children in a struggling family, she spent her childhood at a local Flea Market and then went on to earn a PhD in neuroscience. But it was a "chance" conversation with a Danish professor that changed her life, and quite likely the lives of millions who will benefit from her decision. In this episode, you'll explore the science behind Dr. Mai Nguyen's light therapy innovation, her deeply personal and unlikely entrepreneurial journey and the powerful values that have guided her. This is a conversation about courage, healing and what it means to be a leader with heart and grit.  Listen to THE MENTORS RADIO podcast anywhere, any time, on any platform, including Spotify and Apple, just click here!

Political theorist Annabel Brett of Cambridge University explores how the concept of “moral possibility” shapes law, politics, and public obligation. She explains that laws must be realistic for people to follow—what is morally possible varies by individual, culture, time, and circumstance. Drawing on early modern Catholic legal theory, Brett discusses how extreme demands (like enduring war or plague) may justify higher expectations, but only temporarily. She examines how colonial Spanish officials misused this framework to justify forced labor in Peru, wrongly claiming it aligned with indigenous customs. Brett contrasts this with more democratic approaches to law, like Domingo de Soto's defense of beggars' rights, which take individuals' real conditions seriously. Ultimately, she shows how moral possibility is deeply tied to time, virtue, and justice. Commentary is provided by David Dyzenhaus of the University of Toronto.

Creatine for Alzheimer's — let's separate the hype from the hope. A new study has caused a stir in June 2025, but lead researcher Matthew K. Taylor told us: “ I don't think I can recommend it to a patient that this is going to ultimately have some sort of cognitive influence.” We speak to Dr. Taylor and Dr. Russell Swerdlow in this episode, discussing: • Role of creatine in your brain, and why it matters for energy metabolism • What the 2025 study found (and why it wasn't designed to prove effectiveness) • How scientific nuance gets lost in supplement hype • Why even promising early data must be handled with care • The vital difference between hype and hope Dr. Russell Swerdlow, MD is Director of the University of Kansas Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.
