A CLASSIC ROCKER FINDS OUT HE HAS A LOVE CHILD FROM THE 80's, some insane Movies announced and A wild list of celebrities and how they caught their significant others cheating… it's like celebs are just like us guys!CRAP ON FRIDAY Rick Moranis has been gone way too long. Even those new "Ghostbusters" movies didn't lure him back to Hollywood. But I am quite excited to announce that he WILL return to once again play Dark Helmet in "Spaceballs 2"!!! Bill Pullman will return as the hero Lone Starr, too. And Mel Brooks will be back as Yogurt . . . and, presumably . . . President Skroob. (He played both characters in the original.) Josh Gad co-wrote the script, and he's expected to be in it, too. Pullman's son Lewis Pullman has also been cast, along with Keke Palmer . . . but there's no word who they're playing. There's also no word on any other returning cast members. Obviously, John Candy, Joan Rivers, and Dick Van Patten won't be back, since they're no longer with us. Mel released the first teaser yesterday. There's no footage, since filming hasn't begun yet. It starts with a text crawl that makes fun of all the "Star Wars" prequels, sequels, sequels to the prequels, prequels to the sequels, and TV spin-offs. Then it lists all the "Dune", "Jurassic Park", "Avatar", and Marvel movies, plus DC's TWO attempts to start a cinematic universe . . . and just about every other overdone franchise you can name. Then, after a quick appearance from Mel, we get a shot of Rick Moranis' cracked helmet, and the tagline: "The Schwartz Awakens in 2027." Which sounds like a possible title but it's spaceballs and mel brooks so it could be anything. Here is Mel making his announcement. Jerry Seinfeld Proposes ‘Live-Action Sequel' to 'Bee Movie'Jerry Seinfeld has people buzzin' with this idea!The comedic genius posted about the possibility of a “live-action sequel” to his 2007 animated hit Bee Movie.“Bee Movie, which came out nearly 20 years ago, is #4 on Netflix,” he wrote on Instagram showing a hand holding a tennis ball with a honey bee on it. The next slide was the movie's poster, an image of Seinfeld's character Barry B. Benson similarly straddling a tennis ball.“Today, my friend Spike Feresten, one of the writers on the film, was playing tennis and this happened."He continued, “Clearly a sign. Time for a live-action sequel..?" DreamWorks' Bee Movie, which Seinfeld produced, co-wrote, and starred in along with Renée Zellweger, has become a cult favorite since its release.Bee Movie also featured the voices of Matthew Broderick, John Goodman, Chris Rock, Kathy Bates, Megan Mullally, Oprah Winfrey, and several celebrities appearing as animated versions of themselves, including Larry King, Ray Liotta, and Sting.Saint Louis' own Nelly and Ashanti are putting their lives on TV for all to see. They announced an upcoming reality show called Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together.A show synopsis says Nelly and Ashanti "rekindle their love, navigate the ups and downs of being newlyweds and new parents, and juggle their careers."The eight-episode series will air on Peacock starting June 26th.A DNA Test Connects Billy Idol To A Son He Didn't Know He HadDetails on the lovechild Billy Idol didn't know he had until a few years ago have surfaced.Idol's daughter, Bonnie, shared in the new doc, 'Billy Idol Should Be Dead', "My husband just surprised me with a DNA test as a Christmas present [a few years ago]. Then a few weeks later, I get the results back on the app and open it and I'm like, who is this? This Brant. His info reads, 'New York, 1985, looking for my biological dad.' I was like, ‘What?'"Brant, Idol's lovechild, grew up believing his dad was someone else until a different DNA questioned his mother's claims about his father. After confronting his mom, she told Brant, "Well, it's pretty crazy, but back in the day, we broke up and I actually spent a weekend with Billy Idol."Fans have done the math and calculate that Brant was conceived during Idol's wildly successful 1984 'Rebel Yell' tour.Idol has whole-heartedly accepted Brant as family, saying, "I really enjoyed being a dad. I always wanted a boy and a girl, and I finagled my way into a boy and a girl. I actually had a son that I didn't realize, who I fathered on the Rebel Yell tour without knowing it. So I somehow finagled this as well."Brant was at Idol's Walk of Fame ceremony back in 2023.Prime Video Will Soon Show Double The AdsAmazon Prime Video is about to double the number of commercials shown per hour on its ad-supported membership level. An Adweek report got the news from an Amazon spokesperson about the amount of commercials going to "four to six minutes per hour" from the two to three minutes that Prime users are used to. In 2024, subscribers who had ad-free access were forced to pay an extra $3 a month to maintain the status. Jay-Z Loses $1 Million NBA Finals Bet Jay-Z is out $1 million after losing a bet on the NBA Finals. Jay placed a bet prior to the series, banking on the Oklahoma City Thunder to win the championship in five games. After Wednesday night's Thunder loss to the Indiana Pacers, OKC can't win the series unless they do it in six or seven games. Jay-Z would have won $3.5 million if the bet had cashed in. With a net worth of $2.5 billion, we're sure Jay-Z will be alright. Ok you guys remember Spinal Tap? The Album cover debate with the label and why it became an all black cover or as Nigel would say NONE MORE BLACK? It was because the original had a woman on all fours with a dog leash on and it was deemed sexist…. To which Nigel replies “Whats wrong with being sexy? Well get this, Sabrina Carpenter announced her new album yesterday, and it's causing a lot of controversy. It's called "Man's Best Friend", and the cover has Sabrina on all fours, in front of a man who's pulling a handful of her hair. A women's advocacy group in Scotland called it "regressive", saying it reduces women to, quote, "pets, props, and possessions," and promotes "an element of violence and control." Sabrina's fans are defending it as SATIRE, and a commentary on how badly women are treated. And some are pointing out that the first single, "Manchild", actually makes FUN of men. HERE IS A CLIP OF THATMeanwhile, in the new "Rolling Stone" cover story, Sabrina talks about being criticized for the sexual imagery in her stage show. She says, quote "It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it." She adds, quote, "I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinized in every capacity. I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now." Pope Leo isn't even the most famous guy in his family. The "New York Times" researched his family tree, and found out that he's related to a bunch of celebrities. The link is an ancestor from about six generations back. He name was Louis Boucher de Grandpre, and he was born in Quebec.And because of him, Leo is distant cousins with Justin Bieber, Justin Trudeau, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, Jack Kerouac, and Madonna. It's interesting that Leo would be related to Madonna, given that the Catholic Church has condemned her several times . . . most famously when she released her "Like a Prayer" video in 1989. A few years ago, Madonna reached out to Pope Francis, asking to meet with him to discuss "important matters." She told him, quote, "I've been ex-communicated 3 times. It doesn't seem fair." If you've ever wondered how the creators of "Friends" came up with the character of Joey Tribbiani . . . we might just have the answer this morning. Joey Lawrence claims Matt LeBlanc's character was based on HIS character Joey Russo from "Blossom". Lawrence says, quote, "Joey Russo was so successful that when they were creating 'Friends', they wanted a 25-year-old version of that." Supposedly, Matt's character wasn't even originally called Joey, but they changed it because the "Blossom" character was so successful. Joey even claims that Matt was sent to tapings of "Blossom" where he would, quote, "sit up in the audience with a yellow notepad and take notes on how I portrayed Joey Russo." He says they wanted Matt to bring the "innocence" of Joey Russo to Joey Tribbiani, so the character could, quote, "get away with his womanizing." I guess the Grammys were sick of hearing about whether Beyoncé deserved to win Best Country Album for "Cowboy Carter". So, they just announced a major change. For next year's Grammys, the award formally known as Best Country Album will now be called Best Contemporary Country Album . . . and they will also be adding a new category: Best Traditional Country Album. There's a lot to unpack here. And one year after Beyoncé wins makes the timing of this all the more clickbait-y. According to the Grammy website, "traditional country music", quote, "adheres to the more traditional sound structures of the country genre, including rhythm and singing style, lyrical content, as well as traditional country instrumentation such as acoustic guitar, steel guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, piano, and live drums." Where "contemporary country music", quote, "remains reminiscent and relevant to the legacy of country music's culture, while also engaging in more contemporary music forms." Someone tweeted, "Morgan Wallen and Post Malone better not be in the traditional country category at the Grammys, because in what world are they traditional country?" Wait, hold up. When Morgan collaborated with Alvin and the Chipmunks, that wasn't traditional country??New in Theaters: "How to Train Your Dragon", "Materialists", and "The Life of Chuck" There's nothing like a good breakup story. Here are seven times a celebrity found out their partner was cheating in an unconventional way: 1. Demi Moore learned that Ashton Kutcher was having an affair in 2011, from a Google Alert. When she called him on it, he admitted it right away. Her response was, quote, "Are you [effing] kidding me?" 2. Britney Spears started dating lawyer David Lucado in 2012. But in 2014, her father found out there was paparazzi footage of David kissing another woman. He bought it to prevent it from being released, and Britney broke it off. 3. Kourtney Kardashian dumped Scott Disick in 2008, after finding texts on his phone from a contact called, quote, "my wife." They did the on-and-off thing until 2015, when photos emerged of Scott with another woman in France. 4. Elizabeth Hurley found out Hugh Grant was cheating on her in 1995, when he got arrested for GETTING IT ON with Sunset Boulevard prostitute Divine Brown in his car. They didn't break up until 2000, and they're still friends. 5. Laura Dern found out Billy Bob Thornton was being unfaithful when the news broke that he had ELOPED with Angelina Jolie in 2000. She was away making a movie, and she never saw it coming. 6. Eva Longoria's marriage to NBA star Tony Parker ended in 2010, after she found inappropriate texts with another woman on his phone. 7. This one's ancient history, but it was a HUGE tabloid story back in the day: In 1958, actress Debbie Reynolds was missing her husband, Eddie Fisher, because he was supposedly away on tour. So she decided to give her friend Elizabeth Taylor a call . . . and who answered Liz's phone? Eddie FREAKIN' Fisher. (!!!) Eddie left Debbie and married Liz, but that only lasted five years.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Interview with Simon Marcotte, President & CEO of Northern Superior Resources Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/northern-superior-resources-tsxvsup-consolidating-12moz-resource-base-7148Recording date: 7th June 2025Northern Superior Resources (TSXV: SUP) has reported exceptional drilling results at its flagship Philibert project in Quebec's Chibougamau Gold Camp, delivering what CEO Simon Marcotte describes as "probably the best drilling results we've seen" at the property. The discovery of high-grade underground mineralization directly beneath the existing open-pit resource fundamentally transforms the project's development profile and economic potential.The latest drilling campaign intersected remarkable grades including 21.6 metres at 4.82 g/t Au with 7.0 metres at 11.86 g/t Au, and 22.2 metres at 2.09 g/t Au including 10.0 metres at 3.54 g/t Au. These results extend a new high-grade discovery zone over 200 metres of strike length with more than 150 metres of vertical extent.The strategic significance lies in the underground mineralization's position beneath the planned open pit, enabling a phased development approach that generates cash flow during the transition to underground operations. "If it's under an open pit, then you mine the open pit first and then you access the high-grade with a ramp," Marcotte explained. "So in other words, you're making money while accessing the high-grade at depth."This discovery strengthens Northern Superior's broader consolidation strategy in the Chibougamau Gold Camp, where the company and IAMGOLD now control 12.4 million ounces of defined resources. The camp's simple metallurgy, with 93-95% recovery rates, supports optimization opportunities across multiple deposits through a hub-and-spoke processing strategy.With strong gold prices creating favorable market conditions and Northern Superior maintaining an active exploration pipeline across its 62,000-hectare land package, the company appears well-positioned to capitalize on what Marcotte believes will be "the next big camp to take off globally."View Northern Superior Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/northern-superior-resources-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Episode 370: In this episode, we journey into the chilling case of Jesse Imeson—a man whose troubled past and violent crimes left a deep scar on Southwestern Ontario. In the summer of 2007, Imeson's name became synonymous with fear as he embarked on a deadly spree, taking three innocent lives. The victims were Carlos Rivera, 25, of Windsor and Helene Regier, 72, and her husband, Bill Regier, 73, near the community of Grand Bend. The discovery of the murders sparked a 12-day nationwide manhunt and led to the capture of the killer in Portage-du-Forte, Quebec, near the Ontario border. However, behind the headlines lies a story of trauma, addiction, and claims of childhood abuse that may have shaped the path to his horrific acts.

Vattenfall has named a new leader for its wind business division. Catrin Jung will take over as Head of Business Area Wind starting July first. Jung currently leads the company's offshore wind operations. She replaces Helene Bistrom, who is leaving the company. Jung joined Vattenfall in two thousand two. She has managed some of the company's largest investments in recent years. The wind division handles both offshore and onshore wind projects. It also manages large solar and battery projects. Jung says staying focused on fossil freedom is more important than ever in these uncertain times. The Netherlands reached a major renewable energy milestone last year. Renewable energy made up nearly twenty percent of the country's total energy use in twenty twenty four. That's up from seventeen point four percent in twenty twenty three. Statistics Netherlands released the preliminary data. The increase comes mainly from new offshore wind turbines and more biodiesel use in transportation. The overall renewable energy consumption reached three hundred fifty eight petajoules. That's a fifteen percent increase from twenty twenty three. Biomass remained the largest renewable source. Wind came second, followed by solar power. Renewables were mostly used for electricity at sixty percent. Heat and cooling accounted for twenty eight percent. Transport fuels made up twelve percent. The share of renewables has more than doubled compared to five years ago. A major wind energy project in Quebec has secured its funding. Invenergy and a consortium of 209 municipalities and territories in Eastern Quebec announced the closing of one point one billion dollars Canadian in financing. The money will fund the PPAW 1 Wind Energy Centre. The work will create three hundred fifty jobs during construction. Construction will happen throughout twenty twenty five and twenty twentysix. Commercial operation is expected in late twenty twenty six. Once operational, the project will add three hundred fifty megawatts to the local grid. France has achieved a renewable energy first. EDF Renewables has fully commissioned the country's first floating wind farm. The Provence Grand Large wind farm has a power capacity of twenty five megawatts. The farm features three floating wind turbines installed seventeen kilometers off the France's Mediterranean coast This is the first floating wind farm in France and across the entire Mediterranean basin. The project uses unique anchoring technology. Siemens Gamesa built the turbines. They're installed on floats with tight anchor lines. The technology was inspired by systems used to stabilize oil platforms. SBM Offshore and IFP Energies Nouvelles developed this technology. It's suitable for deep sea areas and provides excellent float stability. Bernard Fontana, Chairman and CEO of EDF, says the project helps diversify renewable energy sources. He calls it an important project for France's energy sovereignty. The experience will help with construction of EDF's second floating wind farm, Mediterranee Grand Large. EDF was awarded that contract in December twenty twenty four.

Interview with Kiran Patankar – President, CEO & Director, Maple Gold Mines Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/maple-gold-mines-tsxvmgm-drill-results-show-path-to-5moz-resource-7008Recording date: 4 May 2025Maple Gold Mines has emerged as a compelling turnaround story in Quebec's premier Abitibi gold region, demonstrating how operational discipline and strategic partnerships can unlock value in today's elevated gold price environment. Under CEO Kiran Patankar's leadership over the past 18 months, the Canadian exploration and development company has transformed from what he describes as "a stagnant and somewhat bloated company" into an efficient operation positioned for growth.The operational restructuring has been dramatic. General and administrative costs have been slashed by 46%, with the company now operating on just $150,000 monthly cash burn while delivering improved exploration results. Drilling efficiency has improved 25%, reducing costs from $400 to $300 per meter and allowing expanded programs within existing budgets. These improvements have translated into renewed market interest, with daily trading volumes increasing from 150,000 to over 600,000 shares following recent drill results.Central to Maple Gold's value proposition is its strategic partnership with Agnico Eagle, one of Canada's premier gold producers and the company's largest shareholder. This relationship provides technical expertise, potential processing solutions, and validation of project quality. "It's a benefit to Maple and Maple shareholders to have the strong partnership that we have," Patankar noted, emphasizing the alignment of interests.The company owns 100% of 3 million ounces of gold resources across district-scale projects in Quebec's Abitibi region, representing a significant shift from previously owning only 50% of assets. Recent drilling has demonstrated expansion potential, with systematic exploration targeting both near-mine growth and district-scale discoveries.Perhaps most intriguingly, Maple Gold is pursuing a dual strategy of continued exploration alongside development studies for smaller-scale production scenarios of 100,000-150,000 ounces annually. This approach could generate cash flow to self-fund future exploration, breaking the traditional junior mining cycle of continuous dilution.Trading at $8 per ounce with a $40 million market cap despite gold prices above $3,300, Maple Gold appears significantly undervalued compared to historical metrics when the company traded at $150 million with only 50% asset ownership at $1,800 gold prices.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/maple-gold-mines-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic MinesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/power-metallic-tsxvpnpn-charges-ahead-with-rare-nickel-copper-pgm-mega-discovery-6787Recording date: 4th June 2025Power Metallic Mines presents a compelling investment opportunity at the intersection of exceptional geology and transformative geopolitical dynamics. The company's NISK project in Quebec has delivered extraordinary drill results, including 12.5 meters grading 11% combined nickel-copper-platinum group elements—grades that CEO Terry Lynch described as requiring investors to "pinch yourself" due to their exceptional nature.The discovery's significance extends beyond impressive intercepts to encompass massive scale potential. Lynch estimates current resources could expand from 15-20 million tons to 45 million tons by year-end, with ultimate potential reaching 140 million tons comparable to world-class deposits like Voisey's Bay. This growth trajectory reflects the deposit's orthomagmatic system characteristics, which typically feature multiple high-grade pipes or zones that Lynch compared to fingers extending from a palm-shaped source.Power Metallic has secured strategic positioning through sophisticated capital allocation and timing. The company raised $50 million to fund a comprehensive 100,000-meter drilling program through 2026, eliminating near-term dilution risk while supporting aggressive exploration that Lynch noted would typically only be affordable to major mining companies. The funding demonstrates global investor confidence, sourced equally from Australia (50%), Europe (25%), and America (25%), with minimal Canadian participation reflecting the company's international appeal.Management's strategic approach centers on maintaining auction dynamics for maximum value realization. Lynch emphasized their deliberate avoidance of industry investors, stating "we want to push this as long as possible with the financial players because you want this to be an auction at the end of the day." This strategy preserves optionality between outright sale to majors—Lynch noted "nine times out of ten" such discoveries are sold—and joint venture structures that could retain upside exposure while funding development.The investment thesis gains substantial support from evolving geopolitical dynamics. The Trump administration's "Fortress America" approach to critical minerals has fundamentally altered market dynamics, prioritizing supply chain security over pure price considerations. Lynch has witnessed this transformation firsthand through direct engagement with the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Energy, observing that "they definitely are going to be less reliant on price and more reliant on guaranteed supply."This policy shift has attracted unprecedented investor interest. Lynch noted, "Ultra high net worth investors looking at investing tens and hundreds of millions of dollars in the space. We were not having these conversations a year ago. The billionaires have realized there's going to be something happening in critical minerals and they want to be part of it."Market fundamentals provide additional support through projected supply deficits. By 2034, nickel is expected to face a deficit of 839,000 tonnes—nearly seven times larger than today's surplus—while the battery metals sector requires approximately $514 billion in investment by 2030, with nickel alone needing $66 billion. Power Metallic's polymetallic nature enhances economic attractiveness through exceptional recovery potential. Lynch referenced comparable operations achieving "high 80s, low 90s" recoveries, supporting projections of one-year payback periods that enable rapid development timelines.The investment case represents a rare convergence of world-class geology in a tier-one jurisdiction, backed by substantial funding and experienced management, positioned to benefit from the transformation of critical minerals markets from commodity-driven to strategy-driven pricing during a generational supply-demand rebalancing.View Power Metallic's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/power-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this eye-opening episode of Fertility Village Live, co-hosts Tanya and Erin welcome Dr. Mathieu Boilard, PhD—CEO and founder of Nasci Biomed—for an in-depth conversation on male fertility and the groundbreaking science happening behind the scenes. Nasci Biomed is a private research and diagnostic lab based in Quebec, Canada, specializing in the advanced cellular biology of spermatozoa. Their work uses cutting-edge flow cytometry and biochemistry to offer some of the most comprehensive male fertility analyses available today.Dr. Boilard walks us through what a fertility spermogram actually measures—from volume and pH to detailed mobility patterns, morphology, and even DNA fragmentation. He explains why these deeper insights matter when it comes to diagnosis, early detection of male factor infertility, and choosing the right course of treatment. We explore common diagnoses like oligospermia, azoospermia, and teratospermia, and discuss what current options exist for men with very low or no sperm—such as micro-TESE procedures and hormone treatments. We also talk about how testosterone and other hormones play a critical role in sperm production, and what signs men can look for if they're wondering whether they may have a fertility issue.We dig into sperm DNA fragmentation—what it is, how it's tested, and how it can impact outcomes for IUI and IVF. Dr. Boilard shares how Nasci is bridging the gap between fertility research and clinical application, constantly searching for technologies that could lead to meaningful breakthroughs for patients. Whether you're currently TTC, undergoing treatment, or just learning more about your reproductive health, this episode provides essential knowledge for anyone looking to better understand the often-overlooked male side of the fertility journey.To learn more about Nasci Biomed or to book an appointment for a fertility spermogram or DNA fragmentation test, visit: www.nascibiomed.ca

Interview with Philippe Cloutier, President & CEO of Cartier Resources Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cartier-resources-tsxvecr-unlocking-15km-gold-corridor-in-quebec-4682Recording date: 3rd June 2025Cartier Resources (TSXV:ECR) has emerged as a compelling Quebec gold exploration opportunity following a strategic transformation that has positioned the company for what management believes could be a breakthrough 18-month period. Led by President and CEO Philippe Cloutier, the junior explorer has evolved from a multi-asset company into a focused, well-funded operation with a singular mission: proving the existence of a new gold mining camp.The company's flagship Cadillac project spans a 20-kilometer stretch along the highly prospective Cadillac fault, a geological structure that has historically produced over 100 million ounces of gold. Located just 30 minutes from Val-d'Or, the project places Cartier among established operations from major producers including Agnico Eagle and Eldorado, providing validation of the district's geological potential.Perhaps most significantly, Cartier has secured Agnico Eagle as a 27% shareholder, creating a strategic partnership that provides technical expertise while maintaining operational independence. "They have three mills to feed," Cloutier noted, highlighting natural synergies that could emerge from successful exploration. The partnership offers Cartier access to world-class guidance while providing Agnico Eagle exposure to potential discoveries in their operating district.The centerpiece of Cartier's strategy is an ambitious 100,000-meter diamond drilling program launching in August 2025. This 18-month campaign represents almost as much drilling as the company completed over the past decade, utilizing artificial intelligence-generated targets alongside traditional exploration methods. The program aims to expand the company's existing 2.3 million ounce resource estimate while establishing the "center of gravity" of the gold camp.With $12 million in funding providing full coverage for the drilling program, Cartier enters this critical phase well-positioned to execute its comprehensive exploration strategy. The company exemplifies the current disconnect between junior exploration fundamentals and market valuations, potentially creating opportunities for investors willing to participate in systematic camp-scale discovery efforts in one of Canada's premier mining jurisdictions.View Cartier Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cartier-resources-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Jon Deluce, Founder & CEO of Abitibi Metals Corp.Recording date: 3rd June 2025Abitibi Metals Corp (CSE:AMQ) presents a compelling copper development opportunity through its control of Quebec's B26 deposit, a substantial resource that recently entered public markets for the first time after two decades of government development. The company's combination of asset scale, jurisdictional advantages, and patient capital positioning addresses key investor priorities in the current copper market environment.*Asset Quality and Scale*The B26 deposit represents one of Canada's larger undeveloped copper resources, with 18.5 million tons grading 2.18% copper equivalent. Located in Quebec's established mining region, the asset benefits from strong metallurgical characteristics including 98% copper recovery and 90% gold recovery rates. Significant gold credits in inferred resources enhance overall project economics while expanding potential acquirer interest beyond traditional copper companies.The deposit's technical profile ranks in the top 10% of VMS opportunities globally according to management, with a 1.6-kilometer continuous strike length open in both directions. This expansion potential distinguishes B26 from typical junior-developed assets, as systematic exploration has been limited during its government development phase.*Financial Strength and Deal Structure*Abitibi maintains exceptional financial positioning with $18.4 million cash funding operations through Q1 2027, eliminating near-term dilution pressure. Abitibi Metals completed and confirmed in collaboration with its partner SOQUEM that all requirements to earn a 50% interest in the B26 Polymetallic deposit have been successfully fulfilled. The company has completed over $10 million of its $14.5 million work commitment to progress 80% ownership of B26 ahead of schedule.  This partnership structure provides both government backing and clear pathways to 100% ownership while aligning with Quebec's economic development objectives. The province's mining-friendly regulatory environment and established infrastructure reduce development risk compared to more remote or jurisdictionally challenging locations.*Operational Development and Strategy*CEO Jon Deluce brings relevant industry experience including operational exposure with Kirkland Lake Gold and Barrick, while recent executive additions from O3 Mining and Agnico Eagle strengthen the team's development credentials. The company has transitioned from contractor reliance to full-time operational capabilities, addressing previous execution challenges that impacted market performance.Abitibi's immediate drilling program targets 400-1,000 meter depths using directional techniques to optimize cost efficiency while testing both near-term economic zones and longer-term expansion potential.Investors OutlookThe company's current valuation at approximately half its cash position suggests significant disconnect between asset quality and market recognition. Management is pursuing multiple value catalysts including engineering studies to demonstrate economic viability, aggressive resource and  expansion drilling.Quebec's advantages as a tier-one jurisdiction become increasingly valuable as supply chain security concerns drive premiums for politically stable copper sources. With limited comparable opportunities in the Canadian market and growing institutional interest in copper-gold assets, Abitibi's combination of resource scale, financial strength, and jurisdictional security positions the company favorably for revaluation as operational catalysts unfold through 2025.View Abitibi Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/abitibi-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

After years of grassroots exploration in Newfoundland, Exploits is shifting its focus to resource-backed growth with the acquisition of four gold projects across Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland, totaling approximately 680,000 ounces of gold.Jessop explains why the company is prioritizing ounces in the ground at a time when gold prices are rising and investor appetite is returning to hard assets. With new option agreements in hand and a $4 million treasury, Exploits has moved quickly to assemble a portfolio of advanced-stage assets with immediate exploration upside. “We're providing immediate exposure to our shareholders for gold moving even higher,” Jessop says, outlining the rationale behind this strategic pivot.The company's Ontario flagship is the Hawkins Project, located in a Hemlo-style geological setting with a current inferred resource of 328,000 oz at 1.65 g/t Au, most of it within 200 meters of surface. Jessop describes the project as “tremendously underexplored at depth,” drawing comparisons to how Hemlo transformed from a modest deposit into a 20Moz district through deeper drilling. With $2.4M in assessment credits and $10M in prior exploration, Hawkins offers a low-cost path to potential resource expansion.In Quebec, Exploits acquired three properties—Benoist, Wilson, and Fenton—from Cartier Resources. Benoist brings a historical resource of ~240,000 oz, while Wilson and Fenton offer high-grade drill hits, visual gold, and near-term discovery potential. Located near major mining infrastructure in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, these assets provide regional diversification and optionality in one of the world's most prolific gold camps.Jessop emphasizes the company's disciplined capital strategy. Instead of diluting shareholders to chase speculative discoveries, Exploits will use a “rate-and-rank” system to prioritize drilling targets based on cost-efficiency and potential return. The first steps include securing permits, refining targets, and focusing early drilling on shallow zones that can quickly add value.The interview also covers Exploits' relationship with New Found Gold, whose 2Moz Queensway Project borders Exploits' Newfoundland claims. While not currently the focus of immediate spending, Jessop highlights the upside potential of these assets should regional consolidation occur. “New Found has always been our big brother in the area,” he says, hinting at long-term collaboration possibilities.If you're following emerging gold developers, this interview offers insight into how a small-cap explorer is adapting to current market conditions, de-risking its asset base, and positioning for potential rerating as new ounces are added.

For years, the Mitchikanibikok Inik First Nation community has fought to keep mining off of their territory. In an important ruling, the Superior Court of Québec has recognized that the Québec government failed for decades in its constitutional duty to consult the Mitchikanibikok Inik First Nation when mining claims were granted on its territory. Lawyers from Ecojustice and the Centre québécois du droit de l'environnement argued that the Quebec mining act violated the constitution, and they won. We speak with Joshua Ginsberg, the lawyer for Ecojustice who represented Mitchikanibikok Inik First Nation in this case.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1057: Nissan eyes a fire sale to survive, Trump's tariff plan hits legal trouble, and GM claims Canada's EV crown from Tesla—at least for now.Show Notes with links:As CEO Ivan Espinosa wraps up his first quarter in charge, Nissan's financial stability hangs in the balance, with a massive debt wall looming and rumors of a fire sale to raise cash.Nissan has $5.12 billion in debt due in 2026 and plans to refinance up to $4.15 billion of that.Espinosa's turnaround strategy involves slashing 20,000 jobs, closing seven global factories, and cutting $3.46 billion in costs by 2028.To free up capital, Nissan may liquidate high-value assets—including its stake in Renault, prime real estate in Japan, and even its iconic Yokohama headquarters, which could be sold and leased back.With nearly half of its U.S. sales coming from imports, Nissan Americas Chairman Christian Meunier is leading a $2B cost-cutting push focused on boosting retail sales, margins, and managing tariff risk.“We are not yet at the stage where we have to do something desperate,” said a board source.A federal court ruled Trump's use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs was illegal—but for now, those tariffs remain while the legal battle unfolds.The U.S. Court of International Trade said Trump exceeded authority under the IEEPA, targeting tariffs not tied to a valid national emergency.IEEPA-based tariffs targeted a wide range of imported consumer goods not tied to national security—covering electronics, clothing, and some vehicle accessories.The ruling gave the government 10 days to unwind the tariffs, but an appeals court temporarily paused that order.Tariffs under Section 232—covering cars, parts, steel, and aluminum—remain, keeping vehicle prices elevated.Retailers like Walmart warn prices may rise further, though Trump has publicly told them to “eat the tariffs.”GM claimed the top EV spot in Canada after more than doubling its electric vehicle sales in Q1, driven by fresh model launches and Tesla's sharp drop.GM sold 5,750 EVs in Q1, led by the Chevy Equinox EV and new Cadillac OPTIQ, outpacing Tesla's volume.Silverado EV and Hummer EV variants also contributed, with Hummer Pickup sales up 232%.Tesla's registrations in Quebec plunged 87%, impacted by paused EV rebates at both federal and provincial levels.Despite year-over-year gains, GM's Q1 total is well off the 15,000 units sold in Q4 2024.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

His spiritual settlement transformed into history's most disturbing cult experiment, where unauthorized surgeries, calculated torture, and mind control tactics replaced daily prayers. For twelve years, the "Ant Hill Kids" remained secluded from authorities, their isolation enabling atrocities as their self-proclaimed Moses pursued increasingly dangerous delusions.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:02:25.607 = Show Open00:04:41.589 =PART 1: THE FOUNDATION OF MADNESS00:07:14.970 = The Making of Moses00:18:02.162 = The Prophet Emerges00:28:36.412 = Eternal Mountain00:41:05.850 = PART 2: DESCENT INTO DARKNESS00:41:32.068 = The First Death00:49:21.345 = The Second Settlement01:00:34.694 = The Final Atrocities01:12:52.195 = PART 3: AFTERMATH AND LEGACY01:13:17.481 = The Prison years01:20:54.620 = The Survivors' Stories01:31:42.097 = Cultural Impact and Collective Memory01:42:25.997 = PART 4: UNDERSTANDING THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE01:42:59.741 = The Psychology of Cult Control01:54:39.106 = The Psychology of Roch Thériault02:05:54.259 = The Question of Evil02:21:58.286 = PART 5: LESSONS FROM DARKNESS02:32:40.752 = Show CloseSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “Alliance of the Sheep” (“L'alliance de la brebis)” by Gabrielle Lavallée: https://amzn.to/4dDwv1u (Only available in the original French.

Interview with Victor Cantore, President & CEO of Amex Exploration Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/amex-exploration-tsxvamx-quebec-gold-developer-evaluates-pfs-option-for-16moz-perron-project-6683Recording date: 28th May 2025AMEX Exploration Inc. (TSXV:AMX) has delivered a transformational resource upgrade that positions the company for rapid advancement to gold production in Quebec's prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The updated mineral resource estimate reveals 1.615 million ounces in measured and indicated categories at 6.14 g/t, representing a remarkable 172% increase over the 2024 estimate with a 43% grade improvement.The flagship Champagne Zone forms the production core with 831,000 ounces at an exceptional 16.20 g/t, supported by an additional 128,000 inferred ounces at 9.83 g/t. This high-grade foundation enables CEO Victor Cantore's strategic pivot toward cash flow generation while maintaining exploration activities across 197 square kilometers of prospective land.AMEX's production strategy leverages unique advantages that distinguish it from typical development projects. Located near the historic mining town of Normétal, the project benefits from existing infrastructure, skilled workforce, and multiple toll milling options throughout the region. The underground mining approach requires minimal surface infrastructure, accelerating permitting timelines compared to open-pit operations.Management has outlined an aggressive two-year timeline to production, beginning with an updated preliminary economic assessment within 60 days, followed by a feasibility study focused on toll milling operations. This phased approach generates early cash flows while advancing full mine development, supporting Cantore's anti-dilutive growth model that minimizes shareholder dilution through operational cash flow rather than repeated equity raises.Strategic validation comes through Eldorado Gold's 9.9% ownership, providing technical expertise from their similar high-grade Lamaque operation. The partnership strengthens AMEX's transition from exploration to production while maintaining management independence.With total resources of 2.313 million ounces and exceptional grades enabling economic toll milling across wide geographic areas, AMEX exemplifies the industry trend toward high-grade, capital-efficient operations that maximize returns per ounce while building sustainable long-term cash flows.View AMEX Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/amex-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The last couple of weeks for Bungie have been nothing short of catastrophic, calling into question whether their upcoming extraction shooter Marathon has any chance at all in finding market success. We've long discussed whether Sony should have bought Bungie at all (they shouldn't have), but now that they're so deeply invested, how do they get the team out of this mess? And what does all of this hullabaloo -- about stolen art, poorly-reviewed gameplay, and lackluster audience reaction -- say about the team's future, full stop? Meanwhile, things aren't much better north of the border, where Quebec-based Haven recently parted ways with founder and once-famous producer Jade Raymond, who has now left three different teams without any sort of release. Is Fairgame$ DOA? Maybe not, but we have lots of new information on the recent closed test of the game under the moniker Project Hearts, and... well... it's not sounding great. Also: MLB: The Show is seemingly getting a mobile release, PlayStation Stars is going away unceremoniously, Stellar Blade 2 is in active development, Xbox's Hellblade II is coming to PS5, Kojima's Physint is at least five more years away, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Keeping in mind Sony's typical naming conventions, what will PlayStation 6's controller be called? Do we also find delight in Darth Vader's AI voice in Fortnite?

Episode 368: Here, we delve into the life and crimes of Brigitte Denise Cleroux, examining how she repeatedly evaded regulatory scrutiny, the suffering she caused, and the systemic failures that enabled her persistence for so long. This story is a chilling tale of deception, exploitation, and the profound breach of trust within Canada's health-care system. Cleroux masqueraded as a nurse for years in multiple provinces — British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec. She treated hundreds of patients, administering drugs and even performing medical procedures, all without a single legitimate credential. Her actions left a trail of traumatized patients, betrayed colleagues, and a health system forced to reckon with the vulnerabilities she so ruthlessly exploited.

HOUSE-CALLING ON DR. WIN THE WAR: 3/4: Mr. Churchill in the White House: The Untold Story of a Prime Minister and Two Presidents by  Robert Schmuhl  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Churchill-White-House-Presidents/dp/1324093420 Well into the twenty-first century, Winston Churchill continues to be the subject of scores of books. Biographers portray him as a soldier, statesman, writer, painter, and even a daredevil, but Robert Schmuhl, the noted author and journalist, may be the first to depict him as a demanding, indeed exhausting White House guest. For the British prime minister, America's most famous residence was “the summit of the United States,” and staying weeks on end with the president as host enhanced his global influence and prestige, yet what makes Churchill's sojourns so remarkable are their duration at critical moments in twentieth-century history. From his first visit in 1941 to his last one eighteen years later, Churchill made himself at home in the White House, seeking to disprove Benjamin Franklin's adage that guests, like fish, smell after three days. When obliged to be attired, Churchill shuffled about in velvet slippers and a tailored-for-air-raids “siren suit,” resembling a romper. In retrospect, these extended stays at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue take on a new level of diplomatic and military significance. Just imagine, for example, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky spending weeks at America's most powerful address, discussing war strategy and access to weaponry, as Churchill did during the 1940s. Drawing on years of research, Schmuhl not only contextualizes the unprecedented time Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent together between 1941 and 1945, but he also depicts the individual figures involved: from Churchill himself to “General Ike,” as he affectionately called Dwight D. Eisenhower, to Harry Truman, and not to mention the formidable Eleanor Roosevelt, who resented Churchill's presence in the White House and wanted him to occupy the nearby Blair House instead (which, predictably, he did not do) 1943 QUEBEC

Hear about travel to the region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue in Quebec as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jennifer Doré Dallas from Chasing Poutine about this out of the way road trip. Why should you go to Abitibi-Témiscamingue? Jennifer says, "Most people don't really know about it outside of Quebec. But in our province, it's really well known, especially for nature. It's a true paradise for nature lovers. It's also historical, bringing us back to log driving and fur trading times. I'll take you from gold mines to microbreweries to pristine lakes. Basically, you're off the beaten path, and what I love about this region is that everybody thinks it's remote, but it's so accessible and it's so easy to travel to." Jennifer recommends a one-week road trip itinerary to explore Abitibi-Témiscamingue, starting from Montreal and looping through five key regions (MRCs), each with its own blend of nature, history, Indigenous culture, and food. Here's a breakdown of her recommended route: Day-by-Day Itinerary for Abitibi-Témiscamingue Road Trip Day 1 – Drive from Montreal to Val-d'Or (Gold Valley) ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-abitibi-temiscamingue-in-quebec/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In Episode 397 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the woods of North Jay, Vermont, searching for the ruins of Space Research Corporation. In the 1970s and 80s, Dr. Gerald Bull was attempting to build a cannon that could launch satellites into space much cheaper and more efficiently than rockets. The only problem was his funding came from various militaries who only saw the cannon's use as a weapon. Once international dictators got involved… things turned deadly. Today we're left wondering what could have been.    See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-397-dr-bulls-giant-space-cannon/    Listen ad-free plus get early access and bonus episodes at: https://www.patreon.com/NewEnglandLegends              Check out Jeff's new underground publication Shadow Zine! https://shadowzine.com/             Listen to Ray's Local Raydio! https://localraydio.com/
