Dr. Robert Quartermain, Co-Chairman, Director and CEO of Dakota Gold (NYSE American: DC), joined us for an update, live from the New Orleans Investment Conference, on their Richmond Hill Project and Maitland Gold Project.  Both projects are located in the historic Homestake District of South Dakota, near existing mining infrastructure.     The company is advancing its Richmond Hill project toward eventual surface heap leach gold operation as soon as 2029, with ongoing exploration, metallurgical tests, and working towards feasibility stage economics.   The company is also expanding the surface oxide mineralization and  high-grade gold mineralization at depth discovered thus far at the Maitland Gold Project toward an initial resource estimate.   Bob was previously the Executive Chairman of Pretium Resources Inc., which he founded in October 2010. Prior to Pretium, he was President and Chief Executive Officer of Silver Standard Resources Inc. (now SSR Mining Inc.) for 25 years from 1985-2010. Not only does he have a wealth of experience in developing and constructing producing mines, but he has assembled a solid management team and board filled with industry veterans that have worked in either the Homestake Mine, before it closed down, or the currently producing nearby Wharf Mine, operated by Coeur Mining.   Richmond Hill is one of the largest undeveloped oxide gold resources in the United States being advanced by a junior mining company, with over 6 million ounces of gold and over 60 million ounces of silver moving along the pathway of development into heap leach production as soon as 2029. Principle Projects on Private Land which equates to a positive attribute for efficient permitting with State and County organizations.   Dakota Gold released an Initial Assessment with Cash Flow (IACF) on July 7th, which is similar in nature to a Canadian PEA study.  This economic study was based on a 30,000 ton per day crushing circuit, and furthers the project towards ultimate production.   IACF Highlights:   Richmond Hill is one of the largest development stage oxide gold resources in the United States: M&I plan identifies 168.3 million tonnes at a grade of 0.566 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) for a total of 2.6 million ounces produced over a 17-year life of mine. MI&I plan identifies 273.7 million tonnes at a grade of 0.530 g/t Au for a total of 3.9 million ounces produced over a 28-year life of mine. Strong Economics: At a base case gold price of $2,350 per ounce, the project has an after tax NPV5% of $1.6 billion and IRR of 55% for the M&I plan, and $2.1 billion and 59% respectively for the MI&I plan. At recent metal prices of $3,350 the NPV5%'s increase to $2.9 billion and IRR of 99% and $3.7 billion and 107%, respectively. Low-Cost: Initial Capital of $384 million, including $53 million contingency, with life of mine All-in Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) averaging $1,047 for M&I plan and $1,050 for MI&I plan. Feasibility Underway: Building on the robust IACF, work has commenced on the Feasibility Study planned for completion in early 2027, construction in 2028 and production targeted for 2029.   There are currently two drill rigs turning at Richmond Hill. In 2025, the Company expects to drill ~90,000 feet (27,500 meters) using a combination of Reverse Circulation and Core drilling. The primary focus of the program is to collect metallurgical samples for the Feasibility Study, infill, and expansion resource drilling in the Northeast corner of the Project area. This area is expected to be mined at the beginning of the mine plan and is higher-grade than the overall deposit.   At the Maitland Gold Project the Company is currently assessing the exploration data collected to date from the JB Gold Zone and the Unionville Zone with the intent of outlining an initial inferred gold resource. The work is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025. To date the JB Gold Zone has encountered a number of high-grade intersections which average 10.76 g/t Au over 4.0 meters.     If you have any questions for Bob Quartermain regarding Dakota Gold, then please email those in to us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dakota Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dakota Gold   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer:  This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Brad Rourke, CEO, and Thomas Mumford, President of Scottie Resources (TSX.V:SCOT – OTCQB:SCTSF), both join us to review the key aspects of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) released to the market on October 28th.  Additionally, we get an update on the bulk sample progress, the main objectives focused on in the 2025 drill program, and the feasibility-level ore sorting study underway at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.   The PEA outlines a robust Direct-Ship Ore ("DSO") development scenario for the Scottie Gold Mine Project, with strong economics and leverage to the current gold price environment, and additional upside potential through toll milling.   The base case DSO project delivers an after-tax NPV(5%) ranging from CAD$215.8 million to CAD$668.3 million at gold prices of US$2,600/oz and US$4,200/oz, respectively. Importantly, the PEA also presents the opportunity to utilize excess capacity at the nearby Premier mill through a toll-milling arrangement, which could significantly enhance project economics. Under this scenario, the after-tax NPV(5%) increases to CAD$380.1 million at US$2,600/oz and CAD$831.7 million at US$4,200/oz (note: no toll-milling agreement is currently in place). The PEA contemplates an initial capital cost of CAD$128.6 million and average annual production of approximately 65,400 ounces of gold over a seven-year mine life. The project demonstrates a compelling after-tax payback period of 1.7 years for the standalone DSO case, and just 0.9 years under the toll-milling opportunity at a gold price of US$2,600/oz. The DSO project is planned to commence with open pit mining at the Blueberry Contact Zone, closely followed by underground mining at the Blueberry Contact Zone, and subsequently the Scottie Gold Mine. The mined material will be then jaw crushed and sorted using an XRF based ore sorting system. The upgraded product will be transported to the Stewart bulk shipping facility located 40 km down an existing road to be shipped overseas. The material would be then sold to Ocean Partners based on the negotiated terms in the existing offtake agreement The company then plans to move straight into work streams for a Feasibility Study (FS) with actual cost estimates and more detailed economics as the next major economic study to be undertaken 8-10 months after all the 2025 drill results from the 27,309 meter program are in hand.   We got into the resource assumptions used in the PEA, but both Brad and Thomas outlined how these resources are going to expand now that 4 diamond drill rigs were turning this year in the largest exploration program to date, across different parts of the high-priority Blueberry Contact Zone, and around the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine. A key initiative was infilling areas with tighter spacing, focused on upgrading the resources from inferred to indicated categories at the Blueberry Contact Zone. However many of the holes will also go deeper doing some true exploration work with a focus on expanding the potential open pit and upper portions of the underground resources at both Blueberry and Scottie areas.   Next we touched on the ongoing 10,000-tonne surface bulk sampling program where they have completed the blasting and mucking of mineralized material from the road-accessible outcropping Bend Vein located on the north end of the Scottie Gold Mine Project. The crushing and transportation of this material has also been completed moving many truckloads of material down the Granduc road to the Stewart bulk shipping facility without any concerns or challenges.  Brad and Thomas outline that this bulk sample will be a nice opportunity to learn more about a number of metrics and provide a nice proof of concept, as well as generating some non-dilutive capital for the Company in the process.    Wrapping up we discussed the ongoing Phase 2 ore-sorting study underway, that will be a more advanced Feasibility Study level test of upgrading the ore, with the strategy to reduce the amount of waste rock before shipping.  Ore sorting could significantly enhance the efficiencies of the overall DSO strategy, and those results are due out in Q4 as another key company catalyst by year end.     If you have any questions for Brad or Thomas regarding Scottie Resources, then please email them in to us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Scottie Resources at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Scottie Resources   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   https://kereport.substack.com/ https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Mark Brennan,  Founder, CEO, and Director of Cerrado Gold Inc (TSX.V: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF), joins me to review their Q3 2025 operational metrics, along with the expansionary exploration program at the producing Minera Don Nicolas gold mine in Argentina.  We also unpack the value proposition and key upcoming development catalysts at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal and the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium project in Quebec.   Q3 Operating Highlights   Q3 Production of 13,868 GEO vs 11,437 GEO in Q2 2025 (+21%) Heap leach production growing as expanded crushing capacity and improved recoveries result in record quarterly production of 10,465 GEO (+33% vs Q2) Underground development at Paloma is advancing, with ramp well advanced and three access portals targeted to reach production stopes in Q4 CIL plant starting to receive ore from underground development, production expected to ramp up in Q4/2025 as higher grade underground material supplants lower grade feed in the mill Expanded crushing capacity results in substantial additional tonnage to the leach pad and record quarterly production Underground Development to access production stopes in Q4 supporting increase in mill head grade and production 2025 Production Guidance revised to 50,000 to 55,000 GEO Exploration Program expanded with an additional 50,000m planned for 2026 (in addition to the existing ~15,000m program in 2025)   Mark and I review their Minera Don Nicolas producing gold project in Argentina, and the record heap leach gold equivalent ounce production for the quarter. There is expanded and improved crushing capacity at the heap leach, from the newly installed secondary crusher, and this will continue to be impactful on a move-forward basis into Q4 and beyond, with the quantity of ore being placed on the pad having increased, and with it helping to reduce down unit costs in the latter part of H2 2025.   The production profile will also keep growing with the underground mining having now commenced.  With higher gold prices, the CIL plant continued to process lower-grade stockpiles in Q3/25, but new high-grade material from the underground mining operations has started to be blended with that moving forward, and this will increase the average grade throughput at the mill.   Another area of future growth will be the ongoing drill program of about 15,000 meters this year and another 50,000 meters slated for next year (once all 4 drill rigs are in place). It will be a combination of  underground exploration work targeting new areas of mineralization and growing the mine life, in addition to surface drilling that is exploring around the open pit resources, as well as identifying additional satellite open-pits at surface.    Next we unpacked the growing value proposition at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project  in Portugal, with a Post-tax NPV of US$147 million and a 39% IRR in the current Feasibility Study. This Project adds both substantial precious metals resources along with critical minerals exposure (42 % Gold & Silver, 24% zinc, 14% copper, and 5% tin) to the future production profile.  We also discuss the various work streams leading to optimized Feasibility Study in Q4, a construction decision by Q1 2026.  Construction is targeted for H2 of 2026, with first production slated for early 2028.   We wrap up discussing the underappreciated value and ongoing derisking work that is moving towards a Bankable Feasibility Study in Q1 of 2026 at the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium in Quebec. Recent metallurgical test work, has reaffirmed the potential to produce high-grade and high-purity iron concentrate grading in excess of 67% iron with silica and alumina content below 2.3%.     If you have questions for Mark regarding Cerrado Gold, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Cerrado Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.       For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/   Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Jon Gilligan, President and CEO of Liberty Gold (TSX:LGD; OTCQX:LGDTF), joins me for a comprehensive update on their exploration, development, and derisking work leading to an upcoming Feasibility Study, engineering work streams, permitting, and other future value drivers; with a move towards a construction decision in 2 years at the open-pit, heap leach Black Pine Gold Project in the Great Basin in southeastern Idaho.   We start off reviewing the key metrics from the Pre-Feasibility Study announced on October 10, 2024, but using a $2,000 gold price assumption.   Open pit, run-of-mine (no crushing) heap leach operation with a one-year construction period and initial capital expenditure of $327 million Average annual production of 183 thousand ounces of gold in years 1 to 5 with Life-of-Mine average annual production of 135 thousand ounces of gold All-In Sustaining Cost for years 1 to 5 of $1,205 per ounce of gold and LOM AISC of $1,380 per ounce of gold $552 million After-Tax Net Present Value (5%) with a 32% After-Tax Internal Rate of Return and a 3.3 year payback at a base case gold price of $2,000 per ounce $1.296 billion After-Tax Net Present Value (NPV 5%) with a 62% After-Tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and a 1.5 year payback at spot gold prices of $2,600 per ounce   The economic metrics are obviously much better at current gold prices near $4,000 per ounce, the NPV swells well over $2billion and the IRR goes to triple digits. The Company is working towards a Feasibility Study as a next key catalyst, but has multiple development and derisking workstreams underway.   Additionally, there is still a lot of room for exploration expansion at the Black Pine Gold Project, where there have been recent news reports announcing additional strong results at the expanding Rangefront Zone, from the ongoing 40,000 meter (“m”) feasibility reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program.    This exploration program is designed for resource infill and conversion, as well as technical compliance for feasibility and expansion of the resource. There is also some true discovery drilling exploring areas for near-surface mineralization and looking for more potential satellite pits. Jon outlines how Rangefront has expanded so much through the focused drilling that it is likely to move up into where the initial few years of mining happen, being strategically located further down the mountain and near the new leach pads.   Jon also provides a detailed roadmap of the timeline of permitting milestones and derisking initiatives in front of the Company over the next 2-3 years through targeted construction and first gold pour.   Many of the engineering and permitting workstreams coalesce in late 2027, in tandem with initiatives to execute on the funding package, and these should lead to the construction decision later that year, and then breaking ground in 2028.   Jon outlined the specific factors that lead to the strong current financial health of the company. After a successful capital raise back in April of C$23 million, this was followed by a strategic 9.9% investment by Centerra Gold in September for C$28 million, another $2.2million payment received in October from the sale of the non-core TV Tower copper gold project, and then additional early exercise of warrants. This gives Liberty Gold a solid treasury, and they are now fully funded to advance forward with all the ongoing exploration, development, and derisking work programs at Black Pine moving towards a construction decision in late 2027.   We wrap up having Jon reiterate the Company's genuine interest in building this project, and highlighting a number of key promotions and additions to their board of directors and management team, boosting both their technical and permitting teams.   If you have any questions for Jon regarding Liberty Gold, the please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Liberty Gold     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com Investment Disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

TNR Gold Corp (TSX-V:TNR, OTC:TRRXF) executive chairman Kirill Klip talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest milestone for the Los Azules Copper Project in Argentina, following McEwen Copper's feasibility study confirming the economic strength and ESG credentials of the development. Klip said TNR Gold is transitioning into a cash-flow royalty company, supported by this and other assets like Ganfeng Lithium's Mariana Lithium Project. He noted: “We are building the Green Energy metals, Royalty and Gold Company.” The study outlines an initial five-year production plan of over 200,000 tonnes of copper annually, with a 21-year life-of-mine and an average of 148,000 tonnes produced annually. Klip highlighted low operating costs, with cash costs of $1.71 per pound and all-in sustaining costs at $2.11 per pound, based on a $4.25 copper price. He said the project ranks among the world's ten largest, with 10.20 billion pounds of proven and probable copper reserves and further resources in other categories. Its ESG design will use significantly less water and renewable energy supplied by YPF. Klip also discussed financing, including potential participation by the IFC and significant non-mine infrastructure investment by YPF. He said the project could support a royalty valuation for TNR Gold of over $30 million.

Tartisan Nickel Corp CEO Mark Appleby joined Steve Darling from Proactive's OTC studio in New York City to provide an update on the company's flagship Kenbridge Project, a nickel-copper deposit located east of Kenora, Ontario. Appleby highlighted that since acquiring Kenbridge in 2018, Tartisan has modernized all prior studies, including a current mineral resource estimate and a preliminary economic assessment, as well as completed baseline studies to support future permitting. He confirmed that over 12,000 metres of drilling have been completed in recent years, with additional drilling planned as the company targets a pre-feasibility study in 2026. “We've got a number of the boxes ticked heading towards pre-feasibility,” Appleby said. The Kenbridge project hosts approximately 120 million pounds of nickel, with roughly half that amount in copper. Appleby emphasized that improving copper prices and ongoing demand for critical metals provide a strong strategic backdrop for the project. The site benefits from all-season road access directly connecting to a paved highway, facilitating operations and logistics. Tartisan is exploring opportunities to add an additional 2 million tonnes at 0.65% grade or higher, which could enhance project economics and strengthen its profile as a potential M&A target. #proactiveinvestors #tartisannickelcorp #cse #tn #oycqb #ttsrf #miningTartisanNickel #NickelMining #CopperMining #KenbridgeProject #CriticalMetals #MiningInvestment #PEA #DrillingUpdate #OntarioMining #JuniorMining

Gunnison Copper Corp CEO Stephen Twyerould joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has launched a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to C$15 million, with Red Cloud Securities Inc. acting as finder in connection with the financing.

Brad Rourke, CEO of Scottie Resources (TSX.V:SCOT – OTCQB:SCTSF), joins us to review the latest batch of high-grade gold assay results from the largest ever drill program, and a number of key ongoing initiatives and further derisking work building towards an upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), with a bulk sample in progress, and an ore sorting study underway at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.   We start off reviewing the next batch of high-grade drill results returned from the ongoing planned 25,000 meters exploration program at the Blueberry Contact Zone.   Highlights:   Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-370 intersected 7.43 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 18.75 metres (m), including 30.0 g/t gold over 3.3 m at the Lemoffe vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2,4). Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-369 intersected 37.0 g/t gold over 2.85 m at the Blueberry vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2,3). Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-365 intersected 9.99 g/t gold over 4.00 m at the Fifi vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2). Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-367 intersected 61.9 g/t gold over 1.00 m at the Fifi vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2).   Brad highlights that 4 diamond drill rigs have been turning across the property at the high-priority Blueberry Contact Zone, around the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine, including at the Wolf Zone discovered last season, and at the C & D veins. Brad points out that about 21,000 meters has been drilled thus far, and that the big percentage of that will be infilling areas with tighter spacing, focused on upgrading the resources from inferred to indicated categories at the Blueberry Contact Zone.  However many of the holes will also go deeper doing some true exploration work with a focus on expanding the potential open pit and upper portions of the underground resources at both Blueberry and Scottie areas.   Ongoing geotechnical and hydrogeology drilling will also provide data to inform mine design and assist efforts with the recent initiation of Baseline Environmental Studies. With all this exploration and fieldwork now underway, the Company remains on track to deliver a low-capex PEA based on a Direct Shipment Ore (DSO) scenario in October.  Brad reiterates that the management team and board believes this coming economics study will clearly highlight the significant, untapped value of the Scottie Gold Mine Project.  The company then plans to springboard over the Pre-Feasibility Study and head straight into work streams for a Feasibility Study (FS) with actual cost estimates and more detailed economics as the next major economic study to be undertaken.   Next we touched on the ongoing 10,000-tonne surface bulk sampling program where they have been blasting and mucking mineralized material from the road-accessible outcropping Bend Vein located on the north end of the Scottie Gold Mine Project.  Bulk sample progressing on schedule, where the mucking has now been completed and crushing and transport has commenced down the Granduc road. Brad outlines that this bulk sample will be a nice opportunity to learn more about a number of metrics and provide a nice proof of concept, as well as generating some non-dilutive capital for the Company in the process.   When reviewing their direct-ship ore strategy, Brad highlighted that Scottie has one of the closest gold projects to a deep-sea shipping terminal, which based on its location is positioned in one of North America's cheapest commercial shipping lanes to Asia.

Century Lithium CEO Bill Willoughby joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide a significant update on the company's wholly owned Angel Island Lithium Project in Nevada, highlighting a series of milestones that position the prject for its next phase of development and permitting. Among the most notable achievements, Angel Island has been formally included in the FAST-41 Transparency Dashboard, a federal initiative under the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act. This designation is reserved for projects of national importance and is designed to streamline permitting by improving timelines and enhancing interagency coordination under the National Environmental Policy Act process. Willoughby emphasized that the designation underscores Angel Island's strategic role in strengthening the U.S. critical minerals supply chain, particularly lithium, which is vital to battery production, renewable energy, and national security. In parallel, Century Lithium has successfully completed and submitted all baseline environmental studies required by the Bureau of Land Management. These comprehensive studies span biological, cultural, hydrological, and land-use resources, providing the foundation for the upcoming Plan of Operations submission and subsequent NEPA analyses. Completion of this step was a critical prerequisite for initiating the NEPA review phase, marking an important milestone in Angel Island's permitting journey. With Angel Island now part of the FAST-41 Transparency program, funding secured for both the updated Feasibility Study and permitting efforts, and baseline studies finalized, Century Lithium has significantly de-risked the project. The company is now shifting its focus toward the next stage of permitting, positioning Angel Island to attract strategic investors, offtake partners, and potential government funding opportunities. #proactiveinvestors #centurylithiumcorp #tsxv #lce #otcqx #cydvf #mining #oricaspecialtymining #BillWilloughby #Lithium #NevadaMining #BatteryMetals #EVbatteries #CriticalMinerals #MiningPermits #FeasibilityStudy #NEPA

Brad Rourke, CEO of Scottie Resources (TSX.V:SCOT – OTCQB:SCTSF), joins me to review a number of key ongoing initiatives and newsflow including the best ever drill hole assay returned to kick off the largest ever drill program, further derisking work building towards an upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), a bulk sample in progress, and an ore sorting study underway at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.   We start off reviewing the initial high-grade drill results returned from the ongoing planned 25,000-30,000 meters exploration program at the Blueberry Contact Zone.   Highlights: Blueberry Contact drillhole SR24-364 intersected 30.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 23.65 metres (m), including 83.3 g/t gold over 4.4 m at the Fifi vein. Blueberry Contact drillhole SR24-362 intersected 9.18 g/t gold over 21.00 m and 5.19 g/t gold over 6.00 m at the Blueberry vein zone. Blueberry Contact drillhole SR24-360 intersected 23.1 g/t gold over 2.00 m at the Fifi vein zone. 3 of the 5 reported holes have discreet intercepts of greater than 5 g/t gold in the siltstone host rock, including 29.8 g/t gold over 1.05 m in SR25-364.   Brad highlights that 4 diamond drill rigs have been turned across the property at the high-priority Blueberry Contact Zone, around the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine, including at the Wolf Zone discovered last season, and at the C & D veins. Brad points out that about 14,000 meters has been drilled thus far, and that a big percentage of the will be focused on upgrading the resources from inferred to indicated categories as well as targeting resource growth at the Blueberry Contact Zone, with a focus on the open pit and upper portions of the underground resources at both Blueberry and Scottie, and detailed testing of the siltstone side of the contact zone. We also review follow-up step-out drilling on the Wolf Zone target discovered in 2024 at the Scottie Gold Mine area.   Ongoing geotechnical and hydrogeology drilling will also provide data to inform mine design and assist efforts with the recent initiation of Baseline Environmental Studies. With all this exploration and fieldwork now underway, the Company remains on track to deliver a low-capex PEA based on a Direct Shipment Ore (DSO) scenario in October.  Brad reiterates that the management team and board believes this coming economics study will clearly highlight the significant, untapped value of the Scottie Gold Mine Project.  The company then plans to springboard over the Pre-Feasibility Study and head straight into work streams for a Feasibility Study (FS) with actual cost estimates and more detailed economics as the next major economic study to be undertaken.   Next we touched on the ongoing 10,000-tonne surface bulk sampling program where they have been blasting and mucking mineralized material from the road-accessable outcropping Bend Vein located on the north end of the Scottie Gold Mine Project.  This will be a nice opportunity to learn more about a number of metrics and provide a nice proof of concept, as well as generating some non-dilutive capital for the Company in the process.   When reviewing their direct-ship ore strategy, Brad highlighted that Scottie has one of the closest gold projects to a deep-sea shipping terminal, which based on its location is positioned in one of North America's cheapest commercial shipping lanes to Asia.

Mark Brennan,  Founder, CEO, and Director of Cerrado Gold Inc (TSX.V: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF), joins me to review the Q2 2025 financials and operations, along with the dual-pronged 20,000 meter expansionary exploration program at the producing Minera Don Nicolas gold mine in Argentina, and the value proposition key upcoming development catalysts at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal and the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium project in Quebec.    Q2/25 MDN Operating Highlights:   Q2/25 production of 11,437 GEO and AISC of $1,779/oz Unit costs expected to continue to decline as production increases in H2/2025 Q2/25 Adjusted EBITDA of $7.4 million Record heap leach production of 7,864 GEO during the Quarter Underground development at Paloma started with three access portals CIL plant receiving initial contribution from underground development; production expected to ramp up over H2/2025 20,000m Exploration Program underway at MDN targeting potential significant resource growth opportunities   Mark and I review their Minera Don Nicolas producing gold project in Argentina, and the record heap leach gold equivalent ounce production for the quarter. There is expanded and improved crushing capacity at the heap leach, from the newly installed secondary crusher, and this will continue to be impactful on a move-forward basis in Q3 and beyond, with the quantity of ore being placed on the pad having increased, and with it helping to reduce down unit costs into H2. The production profile will also keep growing with the underground mining having now commenced.  With higher gold prices, the CIL plant continued to process lower-grade stockpiles in Q2/25, but new high-grade material from the underground mining operations will start being blended with it moving forward, and this will increase the average grade throughput at the mill.   Another area of future growth will be the 20,000 meter drill program will be a combination of  underground exploration work targeting new areas of mineralization and growing the mine life, in addition to surface drilling that is exploring around the open pit resources, as well as identifying additional satellite open-pits at surface.     Next we unpacked the growing value proposition at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project  in Portugal, with a Post-tax NPV of US$147 million and a 39% IRR in the current Feasibility Study. This Project adds both substantial precious metals resources along with critical minerals exposure (42 % Gold & Silver, 24% zinc, 14% copper, and 5% tin) to the future production profile.  We also discuss the various work streams leading to optimized Feasibility Study in Q4, a construction decision by Q1 2026.  Construction is targeted for H2 of 2026, with first production slated for early 2028.   We wrap up discussing the underappreciated value and ongoing derisking work that is moving towards a Bankable Feasibility Study in Q1 of 2026 at the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium in Quebec. Recent metallurgical test work, has reaffirmed the potential to produce high-grade and high-purity iron concentrate grading in excess of 67% iron with silica and alumina content below 2.3%.     If you have questions for Mark regarding Cerrado Gold, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   * In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Cerrado Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to see the latest news from Cerrado Gold.

Justin Reid, President and CEO of Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF) (FSE: CM5R), joins me for a comprehensive update on exploration success at the Southwest Zone, the advancement of basic and detailed engineering studies, permitting progress, and offtake agreements in place at the Gold-Copper Troilus Project located in northcentral Quebec, Canada.   We start off noting that at present there are already 13 million gold equivalent ounces in all categories in place at the deposit, but that infill and expansion drilling at the Southwest Zone has continued to hit increased grades over broad intercepts, which is raising the grade profile of this key area to the first 5 years of mining in the development scenario.   Hole SW-25-678 intersected 78.38 g/t gold equivalent (“AuEq”) (78.21 g/t Au, 5.95 g/t Ag, 0.06 % Cu) over 2 meters, including 153.73 g/t AuEq (153.50 g/t Au, 11.00 g/t Ag, 0.06 % Cu) over 1 meter Hole SW-25-681 intersected 1.79 g/t gold AuEq (1.40 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.22 % Cu) over 36 meters including 2.44 g/t AuEq (1.93 g/t Au, 1.85 g/t Ag, 0.29 % Cu) over 23 meters   Moving over to all the development and derisking work underway, Justin provides an update to the news released on June 10th,  reporting on the progress of basic and detailed engineering at its copper-gold Troilus Project led by engineering partner BBA Inc. based in Montreal, Quebec. Since being awarded the mandate earlier this year, a dedicated team of approximately 45 full-time engineers and specialists has been advancing key workstreams on schedule as the project moves forward on the path to construction readiness.   A comprehensive review of the May 2024 Feasibility Study was completed earlier this year. Key trade-off studies were conducted, resulting in design improvements to support scalability, operational robustness, and energy efficiency, with minimal impact to CAPEX. The optimized main process flowsheet was finalized on schedule, supporting the broader detailed engineering timeline.   Switching over to the permitting progress, on June 25th the Company announced that it has officially filed the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) with both the Government of Québec and the Government of Canada. The submission of the ESIA marks a major milestone in the development of the Troilus Project, representing the culmination of over five years of comprehensive baseline studies, robust technical evaluations, and meaningful engagement with Indigenous and local communities. As one of the largest undeveloped gold and copper projects in North America, this filing is a key step in advancing Troilus along its path towards construction.   Wrapping up we reviewed then news out in June and July that announced Troilus has agreed to indicative commercial offtake terms with Aurubis AG  and Boliden Commercial AB for the offtake of copper-gold concentrate expected to be produced from the Company's Troilus Project.   We reviewed that the rest of the capital stack was coming together through negotiations with royalty and streaming companies, and other financial institutions.   If you have any questions for Justin regarding Troilus Gold, then please email them over to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Troilus Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow along with the latest news from Troilus Gold

Graham Richardson, CFO of Faraday Copper (TSX:FDY – OTCQX:CPPKF), joins me to provide a comprehensive exploration update recapping the key milestones and discoveries from the 30,000 meter Phase 3 drill program, that is building into an updated Resource Estimate and more advanced update to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) due out in September.  Then we dive into the strategy and objectives for the upcoming 40,000 meter Phase 4 drill program, with a continued focus on defining, expanding, and testing new target all around the American Eagle Area at their 100% owned Copper Creek Project in Arizona.    The Copper Creek Project already has a 4.2 billion pound copper resource, and will be expanding as the drill results from the prior Phase 3 program are incorporated into the updated Resource Estimate, where it is anticipated to have a healthy portion in the indicated category.  With regard to the updated PEA, Graham highlights how much geotechnical and metallurgical work will be incorporated, making it a much more advanced PEA, and this is why the work programs after it is released will springboard over the PFS and go right into the Feasibility Study for 2026.   Graham and I discuss a number of the new discoveries made in Phase 3 at the new Banjo Breccia discovery, and recently discovered Winchester breccia, in addition to putting some holes into earlier-stage exploration targets at Old Reliable, the Sunrise Trend (which may indicate the presence of a new porphyry system),  and at Horsecamp. There were some holes in Phase 3 that targeted near-surface supergene copper mineralization with the goal of better understanding the distribution of oxide mineralization. Five holes were drilled near the Globe breccia and two near the Copper Giant breccia.  There will be more follow-up on this near-surface oxide mineralization as part of Phase 4.   In addition to expanding mineralization, testing new breccia targets, and infilling the American Eagle area in the upcoming Phase 4 drilling, there still will be some further definition holes drilled down into the deeper porphyry targets at the American Eagle and Keel deposits to better understand the geological controls and mineralization.   The company is well cashed up to complete all these work programs after announcing the closing of the CAD $49Million financing on July 29, 2025.  Graham also unpacks the strong roster of shareholders including the Lundin Family and Murray Edwards, as well as a number of institutional investment firms.  We wrap up discussing the infrastructure advantages and positives of operating in Arizona as a jurisdiction.     If you have any questions for Graham regarding Faraday Copper, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Faraday Copper at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to view the latest news from Faraday Copper

In a climate charged with political unpredictability, donor hesitancy, and organizational fatigue, Peter Heller, CEO and Founder of Heller Fundraising Group, returns to offer clear-headed perspective on what nonprofits should be doing now—not later. Drawing from decades of experience in higher education and over 20 years guiding capital campaigns and feasibility studies, Peter brings both context and calm to a sector feeling increasingly unsettled.Fundraising is never easy, Peter reminds us. But right now, it's especially daunting. Some organizations are facing existential uncertainty, while others are tempted to pull back entirely. “Even if we stopped talking right now,” Peter says, “and people went away with this one idea: wake up in the morning and believe that you and your nonprofit deserve that money—that mindset alone can shift your entire trajectory.”Throughout the conversation, Peter offers a compelling blend of strategic realism and aspirational leadership. His guidance is rooted in both emotional alignment and actionable frameworks: acknowledge the difficulty, reaffirm your mission, and keep going. He warns against reactive messaging rooted in fleeting political tides and instead urges organizations to craft campaigns around timeless, hopeful visions that inspire long-term support.One of the episode's most striking moments comes when Peter recounts the Ossining Children's Center's $18 million capital campaign. Despite losing their board presidents, navigating the death of a lead donor, and facing pandemic-related hurdles, they built a beautiful childcare facility now serving a vibrant, diverse community. It's not just a story of resilience—it's a blueprint for bold action in the face of fear.Julia Patrick (Show host) and Peter explore why now is precisely the moment for brave leadership—especially from boards. They discuss the board dynamics that can either stall or accelerate progress, and why it's okay if those unwilling to commit step aside. As Peter puts it, “You need a core group who believe—and aren't just dreaming, but working toward something achievable.”This thoughtful dialog challenges the nonprofit sector to step into its power, maintain donor relationships through both silence and conversation, and embrace mission-driven fundraising as a moral imperative rather than a burdensome chore. Whether you're in the middle of a campaign, contemplating one, or simply trying to stay upright, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and a seasoned perspective on how to move forward with confidence.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Leif Nilsson, CEO & Director of Surge Copper (TSX.V:SURG – OTCQX:SRGXF), joins me for a comprehensive update on all derisking work and development work that is building towards a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), including the excellent metallurgical results released today at their flagship copper-molybdenum-silver-gold Berg Project in British Columbia.   We start off reviewing the resource size and different metals contributions as well as the key economic metrics from the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) released in June 2023.   The updated Mineral Resource Estimate includes combined Measured & Indicated resource of 1.0 billion tonnes grading 0.23% copper, 0.03% molybdenum, 4.6 g/t silver, and 0.02 g/t gold, containing 5.1 billion pounds of copper, 633 million pounds of molybdenum, 150 million ounces of silver, and 744 thousand ounces of gold, plus an additional 0.5 billion tonnes of material in the Inferred category.   Leif highlights that there has a been a fair bit of infill drilling completed over the last 2 years where more ounces will be moving from the inferred category and into the measured and indicated category when it gets updated along with the coming PFS.   The 2023 PEA outlined a base case after-tax NPV8% of C$2.1 billion and IRR of 20% based on long-term commodity price assumptions of US$4.00/lb copper, US$15.00/lb molybdenum, US$23/oz silver, and US$1,800/oz gold plus foreign exchange of 0.77 USDCAD.  There is a projected 30-year mine life with total payable production of 5.8 billion pounds (2.6 million tonnes) of copper equivalent (CuEq), including 3.7 billion pounds (1.7 million tonnes) of copper.    Leif outlines that these economic metrics will see marked improvements in the upcoming PFS, based on a few different factors.  The larger amount of resources in the indicated category will be a factor, as will the the geotechnical drilling showing the potential for steeper pit walls, and the inclusion of mineralization previously below the pit shell from that 2023 study.  The conversation then shifted to the recent successful metallurgical tests that demonstrated improved recoveries for copper and molybdenum into the bulk concentrate, as well as the separation into the separate copper and moly concentrates.   Highlights of the metallurgical testing:   27 variability composites tested, covering all major rock and alteration types spatially distributed across all areas and depths of the proposed open pit Over 60 flotation tests conducted to optimize parameters and improve recoveries Locked cycle testing achieved up to 90.7% Cu and 93.0% Mo recovery to bulk concentrate grading 29.7% Cu Excellent copper-molybdenum separation confirmed, with Mo recoveries of 94.6% and 95.6% from bulk concentrates across the main hypogene and supergene composites respectively   Wrapping up we discussed a number of factors from what the permitting process will look like, the potential for government funding for critical minerals projects in British Columbia and Canada, the strategic partner they have in African Rainbow Minerals Limited (“ARM”) assisting the Project both financially and technically, and an overall sense of, and how the size and scale of the Berg stacks up to other large copper development assets in Canada.   If you have any follow-up questions for Leif regarding Surge Copper, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Surge Copper at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Surge Copper

Dr. Robert Quartermain, Co-Chairman, Director and CEO of Dakota Gold (NYSE American: DC), joined me for an update on their Richmond Hill Project and Maitland Gold Project, both located in the historic Homestake District of South Dakota, near existing mining infrastructure.   The company is advancing its Richmond Hill project toward eventual surface heap leach gold operation as soon as 2029, and expanding the high-grade gold mineralization discovered at the Maitland Gold Project toward an initial resource estimate.   We start having Robert share his background in the industry, as he was previously the Executive Chairman of Pretium Resources Inc., which he founded in October 2010. Prior to Pretium, he was President and Chief Executive Officer of Silver Standard Resources Inc. (now SSR Mining Inc.) for 25 years from 1985-2010. Not only does he have a wealth of experience in developing and constructing producing mines, but he has assembled a solid management team and board filled with industry veterans that have worked in either the Homestake Mine, before it closed down, or the currently producing nearby Wharf Mine, operated by Coeur Mining.   Richmond Hill is one of the largest undeveloped oxide gold resources in the United States being advanced by a junior mining company, with over 6 million ounces of gold and over 60 million ounces of silver moving along the pathway of development into heap leach production as soon as 2029. Principle Projects on Private Land which equates to a positive attribute for efficient permitting with State and County organizations.   S-K 1300 Mineral Resource (Heap Leachable): 65 M oz M&I Gold, 2.61 M oz Inferred Gold 1 M oz M&I Silver, 22.8 M oz Inferred Silver   Dakota Gold has engaged the current consulting groups based on their capabilities to deliver an Initial Assessment with Cash Flow (IACF) in mid-2025 (similar to a PEA).  This economic study will be based on a 30,000 ton per day crushing circuit, and further the project towards ultimate production. The Company continues Feasibility planning with M3 as the overall Study Manager as well as the lead for processing, while RESPEC will manage the mining and environmental aspects   There are currently two drill rigs turning at Richmond Hill. In 2025, the Company expects to drill ~80,000 feet (24,384 meters) using a combination of Reverse Circulation and Core drilling. The primary focus of the program is to collect metallurgical samples for the Feasibility Study, infill, and expansion resource drilling in the northeast corner of the Project area. This area is expected to be mined at the beginning of the mine plan and is higher-grade than the overall deposit.   At the Maitland Gold Project the Company is currently assessing the exploration data collected to date from the JB Gold Zone and the Unionville Zone with the intent of outlining an initial inferred gold resource. The work is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025. To date the JB Gold Zone has encountered a number of high-grade intersections which average 10.76 g/t Au over 4.0 meters.   With the recent financing announced March 20, 2025, the Company currently has a cash balance of $47 million as noted in the filed 10Q as at March 31, 2025, and is fully financed through the IACF and the subsequent completion of its Feasibility Study on the Project.   If you have any questions for Bob Quartermain regarding Dakota Gold, then please email those in to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dakota Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dakota Gold

Jamie Levy, President and CEO of Generation Mining Limited (TSX:GENM, OTCQB: GENMF), joins me for an update on their fully-permitted and shovel-ready Marathon Copper-Palladium Project in Northwestern  Ontario.  We talk resources, key metrics from the Feasibility Study, options for the upcoming mine financing, and the potential for funding support from the province of Ontario.   We start off talking about he robust resources at Marathon with 1.1 billion lbs of copper, ~4 million ounces of palladium, and 1.3 million ounces of platinum, with some additional co-credits from gold and silver.   Jamie highlights the importance of developing domestic sources of these strategic metals in Canada, and the interest from the provincial and federal governments on expediting the construction of new mines and sources of supply in country.   The Feasibility Study estimated a Net Present Value (using a 6% discount rate) of C$1.07 billion, an Internal Rate of Return of 28%, and a 1.9-year payback based on the 3-yr trailing average metal prices at the effective date of the Technical Report. Over the anticipated 13-year mine life, the Marathon Project is expected to produce 2,161,000 ounces of palladium, 532 million lbs of copper, 488,000 ounces of platinum, 160,000 ounces of gold and 3,051,000 ounces of silver in payable metals.    We discuss the capital stack coming together starting off with the Wheaton Precious Metals stream, which consisted of an early deposit of $40 million (received) and then an upcoming $200M construction payment for 100% gold and 22% platinum production. Endeavour Financing has also helped set up a mandate letter for banking syndicate of Export Development Canada, ING Capital LLC and Societe Generale to arrange a Senior Secured Project Finance Facility of up to $540M. Conditional on final diligence and debt capacity.  Additionally, there are ongoing discussions for $200M of deeply subordinated debt, and the potential for government grants.   Wrapping up we discussed the experience of the team in developing and building prior mines, and why they'd prefer to build Marathon internally, but are still open to the options of JV partners or a project scale if it was the best value creation for shareholders.     If you have any questions for Jamie regarding Generation Mining, then please email those in to me at Shad@kereport.com.    Click here to follow the latest news from Generation Mining

Interview with Nick Appleyard, President & CEO of TriStar Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/tristar-gold-tsxvtsg-moving-through-permitting-process-4713Recording date: 30th May 2025Tristar Gold (TSXV: TSG) has emerged as a compelling investment opportunity in Brazil's mining sector following the release of updated project economics and successful resolution of permitting challenges at its Castelo de Sonhos gold project. The company recently completed a $10 million financing round that will fund strategic drilling programs and advance the project toward feasibility study completion.The updated Preliminary Feasibility Study released in May 2025 demonstrates exceptional project economics with a 40% post-tax internal rate of return at $2,200 gold prices. With current gold trading around $3,200 per ounce, management estimates returns could exceed 70%, supported by over $1 billion in pre-tax cash flow generation and $600 million post-tax net present value. The project targets average annual production of 120,000 ounces over 11 years, with higher-grade output of 150,000 ounces during initial years.A significant milestone involved successfully defending the environmental permit against a public prosecutor challenge regarding indigenous consultation. Despite recommendations for suspension, the permit remained valid as multiple parties confirmed no impact on indigenous lands located hundreds of kilometers from the project site. This resolution strengthens Tristar's regulatory position and eliminates a key development risk.The company benefits from exceptional infrastructure advantages, sitting just 15 kilometers from a major highway with existing power lines and road access developed for the regional soybean industry. These factors support a sub-$300 million capital cost estimate while eliminating major infrastructure development requirements.Management has clearly articulated its strategy as a project developer rather than mine builder, actively seeking partnerships with established mining companies over the next 12 months. This approach recognizes that optimal value creation comes through partnering with experienced operators capable of funding and operating the project through production.The recent financing included participation from Eric Sprott, taking approximately 10% of the company, providing third-party validation of the investment opportunity. With permitting resolved and drilling programs commencing, Tristar expects improved news flow to drive valuation re-rating as the company advances toward strategic partnership.View Tristar Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/tristar-gold-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Fred Earnest, President and CEO of Vista Gold Corp. (NYSE American and TSX: VGZ), joins me for comprehensive company overview of the upcoming Feasibility Study at their Mt Todd gold project;  a ready-to-build development-stage gold deposit located in the Tier-1 mining jurisdiction of Northern Territory, Australia.   Fred reviews the 9.4 million ounces of gold resources in all categories, and that the resource block model has been updated to incorporate data from the Company's 2020-2022 and 2024 drilling programs and is being used as the basis for the new mine plan in the upcoming updated feasibility study. This new study aims to increase the reserve grade to 1 gram gold per tonne by applying a higher cut-off grade, and will also incorporate mine scheduling optimization strategies that prioritize higher grade ore during the early years of operation.   The Company is continuing  to advance their revised 15,000 tonne per day (tpd) Mt Todd Feasibility Study, and it will differ from the previously modeled 50,000 tonne per day scenario, aiming to reduce initial capex by 60% to $400 million, while averaging annual gold production of 150,000 to 200,000 ounces. Guidance is for delivering the new study by mid-2025 in July. This Feasibility Study will leverage prior technical studies, preserve the potential for future expansion, and demonstrate the opportunity for Mt Todd to deliver attractive economic returns with a smaller initial capital investment.   Fred walks us through how the Mt Todd Project offers significant scale, development optionality, growth opportunities, advanced local infrastructure, community support, and demonstrated economic feasibility. All major environmental and operating permits necessary to initiate development of Mt Todd are in place.   If you have questions for Fred regarding Vista Gold, then please email those into me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Vista Gold

Interview with Bruce Lane, Executive Director, GTI EnergyOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gti-energy-asxgtr-boosts-wyoming-uranium-resource-by-50-advances-development-plans-6420Recording date: 3rd of March, 2025GTI Energy is making significant progress on its uranium in-situ recovery (ISR) projects in Wyoming, with a focus on the Lo Herma project that recently reached 8.57 million pounds of uranium resources, 30% in the indicated category. This resource size strategically positions the company alongside similar economic projects in the region being developed by established players like UR Energy and enCore.Executive Director Bruce Lane reports that the company has completed all fieldwork for their feasibility study, including successful metallurgical testing showing good uranium recoveries using alkaline leach processes and permeability testing confirming the project's suitability for ISR methods. The study, conducted by BRS Engineering from Riverton, Wyoming, is expected to be delivered within the next 1-2 months.The economics appear promising, with anticipated capital expenditure of approximately $50-55 million and potential production of around 1 million pounds of uranium annually over an 8-10 year mine life. At uranium prices around $80 per pound, Lane suggests the project could generate $30-40 per pound in free cash flow, offering relatively quick payback and manageable risk.GTI is exploring multiple strategic pathways forward, including growing their resource base and pushing toward permitting, developing satellite deposits, pursuing joint ventures, or potential partnerships with industry players. Lane emphasized their focus on proving the economic case by confirming the geology, metallurgy, and permeability to demonstrate the project's viability as a standalone operation.The current uranium market presents challenges, with spot prices having declined significantly since early last year. However, Lane expressed confidence in eventual improvement, citing fundamental supply-demand dynamics, particularly as the United States aims to achieve self-sufficiency in uranium production, targeting 50 million pounds annually.Given current market conditions, GTI is considering alternative financing approaches beyond traditional equity-debt structures, potentially involving strategic investment from industry participants. Lane also noted the possibility of industry consolidation in the exploration and pre-development space over the next 3-12 months.While they won't be filing development permits this year, Lane indicated it would be feasible to reach that stage within the next 18-24 months if properly funded. As the U.S. works to secure domestic uranium supply, GTI Energy's Wyoming projects represent one piece of what Lane describes as a "game of inches" approach to rebuilding American uranium production capacity.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gti-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Nicholas Bridgen, CEO of Ferro-Alloy Resources Ltd.Recording date: 14th February 2025Ferro Alloy Resources is developing a significant vanadium project in Kazakhstan, positioning itself as a potential leader in both the vanadium market and sustainable carbon black production. Under CEO Nick Bridgen's leadership, the company is advancing toward a feasibility study, expected by June 2025.The vanadium market, currently at 125,000 tons annually, is characterized by significant price volatility, with prices ranging from $30 to $5 per pound in recent years. While steel production remains the primary demand driver, accounting for 85-90% of consumption, the emerging vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) sector presents substantial growth potential. China's announced VRFB projects alone could require an additional 100,000 tons of vanadium.A unique aspect of Ferro Alloy's project is its carbon black substitute (CBS) co-product. The company's vanadium-rich ore contains 8-14% naturally occurring carbon, which can be concentrated to 40% purity through a low-energy process. This CBS offers a sustainable alternative to traditional carbon black, a $20-30 billion global market where conventional production emits approximately two tons of CO₂ per ton of product.The company's CBS innovation provides three key advantages: cost efficiency (priced at $500/ton, half the cost of traditional carbon black), minimal CO₂ emissions, and performance capabilities. Testing shows CBS can replace up to 10% of traditional carbon black in tire sidewalls without performance loss. The Phase 1 project aims to produce 220,000 tons of CBS annually, potentially generating $110 million in revenue.Ferro Alloy's strategic location in Kazakhstan positions it well for diversifying vanadium supply away from China and Russia, key considerations given current geopolitical dynamics. The company's project stands out for its potential to be the largest and lowest-cost vanadium producer globally, with significant expansion potential across seven ore bodies.The investment thesis centers on dual exposure to vanadium's growth potential in steel and energy storage markets, coupled with the innovative CBS opportunity. The CBS revenue stream could provide a hedge against vanadium price volatility, while the project's low-cost profile and strategic importance enhance its financing prospects.Looking ahead, the completion of the feasibility study will be a crucial milestone, providing detailed economics for Phase 1 and insights into the broader resource potential. The company's approach to both vanadium production and sustainable CBS manufacturing aligns with global trends toward renewable energy and reduced emissions, particularly in steel production and energy storage.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ferro-alloy-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
