Interview with Peter Akerley, President & CEO of Erdene Resources Development Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/erdene-resource-development-tsxerd-mongolia-gold-developer-to-pour-first-gold-by-q3-2025-6815Recording date: 27th June 2025Erdene Resource Development (TSX:ERD) is on the verge of becoming Mongolia's newest gold producer, with construction at its flagship Bayan Khundii project reaching 98-99% completion and first gold production targeted for early-to-mid September 2025. The company expects to achieve commercial production by mid-November, marking a significant milestone in Mongolia's emerging mining sector.The project represents a compelling investment opportunity with projected annual production of 85,000 ounces at 4 grams per ton head grade and 90-95% recovery rates. At current gold prices, management forecasts approximately $200 million CAD in annual after-tax free cash flow, providing substantial returns for investors.Erdene's financial position remains robust despite total project costs reaching $115 million USD, 15% above the initial $100 million target. The company maintains $45 million in undrawn facilities, creating a comfortable buffer through the transition to cash flow generation. Management plans aggressive debt repayment within 14 months of achieving steady-state production.Perhaps most attractive for long-term investors is the significant expansion potential within what management characterizes as a new high-grade gold district. Recent drilling has identified exceptional intersections including 40 meters of 7 grams per ton just 200 meters west of the current pit. The company has allocated $10 million annually for exploration to develop multiple targets that could extend mine life beyond 10 years.Strategic infrastructure investments, including a 240-kilometer transmission line to the Chinese border and comprehensive operational facilities, position Erdene for district-wide development. The company recently completed a 6:1 share consolidation to attract larger institutional investors, coinciding with increased marketing efforts as production approaches.With proven management execution, strong local partnerships through Mongolian Mining Corporation, and a 5% net smelter royalty providing additional upside from year five, Erdene represents a rare opportunity to invest in an emerging gold producer with significant expansion potential in an underexplored jurisdiction.View Erdene Resource Development's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/erdene-resource-developmentSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Darren Bowden, CEO, Metals ExplorationOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/metals-exploration-lsemtl-gold-producer-targets-500m-annual-cash-flow-by-2028-6846Recording date: 18th June, 2025Metals Exploration is executing a strategic transformation from a single-asset gold producer to a diversified mining company operating across the Philippines and Nicaragua. The company's Runruno mine in the Philippines currently generates $96 million in annual free cash flow while producing 70,000-80,000 ounces of gold, providing the financial foundation for aggressive expansion plans.The centerpiece of this growth strategy is the January 2025 acquisition of Condor Gold in Nicaragua, where Metals Exploration is rapidly constructing a new gold mine targeting 140,000 ounces annually by Q4 2026. Unlike previous development attempts constrained by external financing requirements, the company is using internal cash flows to optimize mine design, targeting 1.4 million tons annually compared to Condor's original 880,000-ton plan.CEO Darren Bowden brings 17 years of South American mining experience, positioning the company to navigate challenging jurisdictions where political risk perception creates entry barriers for competitors. The team has quickly established credibility in Nicaragua, securing contracts with the country's four largest companies and demonstrating operational progress that previous management failed to achieve over 12 years.In the Philippines, Metals Exploration is advancing multiple opportunities to extend operations beyond Runruno's 2026 closure. The most immediate prospect involves a VMS deposit 20 kilometers away containing zinc, copper, and gold mineralization. The company plans to repurpose existing plant infrastructure with a $20 million investment, targeting $1 billion in annual revenue by 2028.The investment thesis centers on exceptional cash flow generation, production growth from 70,000 to 140,000+ ounces annually, and significant cost advantages in both jurisdictions. Operating debt-free with drilling costs approximately 75% below US levels, Metals Exploration maintains financial flexibility while advancing multiple development pathways.With gold prices above $3,500 providing substantial margins and the company's self-funded approach eliminating dilution risk, Metals Exploration represents a compelling growth story in underexplored, politically complex markets where operational expertise creates competitive advantages.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/metals-exploration-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

If you've ever wondered whether your nonprofit fundraising data is a treasure chest or a digital junk drawer, Greg Warner is here with a flashlight, a map, and a pickaxe. In this entertaining conversation, Greg—CEO of MarketSmart and creator of the Fundraising Report Card—joins host Julia Patrick to dissect the murky waters of metrics and help nonprofits move from guesswork to grounded strategy.Greg kicks off with the backstory: MarketSmart's 17-year evolution into a marketing automation firm helping nonprofits identify, qualify, and steward major and legacy donors. ‘The Fundraising Report Card', born from this journey, now offers nonprofits a simplified yet powerful lens into donor behavior—showing not just what happened, but what it means.Here's the twist: until now, this tool has been free. But with over 27,000 users and a mountain of benchmark data, Greg's team is rolling out a more robust version—with peer comparisons so relevant, they make national averages look like vague horoscopes.And it's about time. “Relevance creates resonance,” Greg shares, “But irrelevant data creates dissonance.” Nonprofits have long been running on emotional narratives and gut instincts. Greg invites you to reframe the conversation using donor lifetime value, retention data, and institutional memory—all quantified, all visual.Julia comments how too many development pros spend two days prepping board reports for seven minutes of attention. Greg's fix? Collaborative tools baked into the new version of the app, enabling real-time, cross-functional dialogue. Because why silo data when you can democratize it?Want to stop flying blind and start mining gold?

How young Ned Seagoon journeys by steam packet to the Americas to find the Lost Gold Mine and how, after being foully tricked by several desperadoes, he eventually triumphs. The action takes place aboard the S.S.
