In today's episode, we're joined by Jeff Court, CEO of Tungsten West, the company redeveloping the Hemerdon tungsten project in Devon, UK Jeff's worked on mining projects all over the world, and we'll be talking about his journey into leadership, why tungsten is such a critical mineral, and what it takes to bring a historic mine back into production. We'll also cover the company's new feasibility study, financing challenges, and what the EU Critical Raw Materials Act means for Hemerdon. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tungsten is classified as a critical mineral due to its unique properties, such as high density and tensile strength, making it essential in various industries, including mining, construction, transportation, and defence. Tungsten West requires approximately $93 million to restart production at the Hemerdon project, with funding expected to come from a combination of debt and equity. The feasibility study indicates a strong economic outlook, with a potential internal rate of return (IRR) of around 48%. The project incorporates modern mining practices focused on sustainability, including noise reduction measures and community engagement to ensure compliance with environmental standards and to maintain good relations with local residents. The Hemerdon project has been designated as a strategic project under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act, which enhances its profile and may facilitate access to government-backed funding BEST MOMENTS "Tungsten's not gold, it's not iron ore, it's a very interesting specialty metal space that also has a lot of off-take supply requirements around it too." "We have about a 12-month period before we start production." "It raises profile, certainly... it solidifies our credentials." "We want to be a good neighbour. We're going to be there a minimum of 40 years."

In this episode of The Midweek Takeaway, Phil Carroll and Kevin Hornsby speak with Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Bezant Resources (AIM: BZT), about the feasibility study for the Hope & Gorob copper-gold project in Namibia. Colin outlines the plan to use multi-sensor dry ore sorting and truck pre-concentrate to an existing processing plant ~190 km away, delivering capital efficiency and faster ramp-up. The study highlights robust economics (NPV ~$46.2m, IRR ~62%) and confirms the plant can be optimized for productivity and concentrate quality rather than costly conversion. He also discusses expected 8–10 years of open-pit mining, moves to secure long-lead items, and the strategy to fast-track production amid supportive metal prices.

My podcast guest this week is Chris Garner, CEO, Avanti Residential, an owner-operator with thousands of units across seven states, who has four decades in the trenches. Garner explains how the multifamily market is bottoming – with local nuance. The past two years weren't a demand recession, he says, so much as a supply shock in growth metros. Concessions did the absorbing. Now we're approaching the peak of deliveries in places like Nashville, Denver, and Phoenix but investment committees are still anchored to five-year IRR math and negative-leverage scar tissue. His take on timing is blunt – "We're at the bottom of the multifamily cycle, if not the beginning of the recovery," but the irony is that capital is still sidelined. Investment committees remain cautious, waiting for "clear evidence" that fundamentals have turned, even though the best returns are made before that clarity arrives. As Garner put it, everyone talks about not following the herd, "but everybody's part of the herd." When deals finally reprice and capital moves, the easy money is gone. "That's when the best deals get missed because you couldn't raise capital when it was actually the right time to buy." Five questions Chris and I discuss: Where are we in the cycle? What does an efficient operating model look like now? How should value-add evolve? What's the realistic path to transacting again? What hold period wins from here? Tune in for the full conversation with Chris Garner, CEO, Avanti Residential - a masterclass in operating discipline, market selection, and underwriting in the real world. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.

Hermann Pretorius and Nicholas Lorimer discuss the IRR's Value for Money Bill. They also chat about overregulation and ActionSA's weird polling plan. Website · Facebook · Instagram · Twitter
In a fearless conversation with Alec Hogg, IRR strategist Hermann Pretorius tears into the myths behind South Africa's empowerment policies, calling BEE a system of legalised theft that enriches elites while bankrupting the state. He reveals the IRR's Value for Money Bill - a blueprint to end race-based procurement, restore accountability, and save billions lost to inflated tenders and cadre contracts. From Eskom to education, Pretorius argues that only honesty, merit and competence can rebuild South Africa's future.

What does it take to walk away from a successful private-equity career and build your own real-estate investment platform from scratch? This week, I sat down with Anthony Maxwell-Jones, Founder & Managing Partner at Valorem Investment Partners, to unpack his journey from the early days at Mercer / Castleforge to founding Valorem - and what he's learned along the way about timing, risk, and backing yourself. Anthony has quietly built one of the UK's most interesting boutique investment platforms, deploying over £80 million across offices, student, residential, hotel, and strategic-land assets - achieving a 20 % IRR and 2.2× MOIC. We discuss how he spotted opportunity in the wake of the GFC, why he left a newly raised fund to go it alone, and the lessons that came from building Valorem through Brexit, Covid, and a volatile rate cycle. ⸻ Key Topics Covered In This Episode: ✅ From Castleforge to Valorem - How Anthony transitioned from analyst to entrepreneur ✅ The Leap - What gave him the confidence to found his own firm at 27 ✅ Covid Chaos - How a “malicious virus clause” saved a £90 million office scheme ✅ Family Office Capital - Building trust, track record & long-term partnerships ✅ Discipline & Patience - Investing through a stagnant market without pressure to deploy ✅ Future Focus - Why defence infrastructure and core-plus offices are on his radar ⸻ Oh, and one last thing… In every episode, I ask each guest: Who are the People, what Property, and which Place they'd invest in if they had £500 million at their disposal? Anthony's answer did not disappoint
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.

The sea around Skellig Michael never rests. Waves slam the cliffs like a heartbeat, and mist rises from the rocks like breath from some sleeping giant. Eight miles off the Kerry coast, this jagged island looks less like a piece of earth and more like a fragment of another world. More than a thousand years ago, monks climbed 600 stone steps to live here, chasing silence, prayer, and the edge of heaven. Today, visitors come for the same reason, though they may not know it. Whether you're drawn by faith, history, or a galaxy far, far away, Skellig has a way of making you listen to what the sea remembers. And that's where today's story begins — between exile and return, faith and freedom, stone and surf. Because sometimes, we're all just trying to find our way back to the ocean. With Music from Niamh Dunne, Wolf Loescher, and Jocelyn Pettit & Ellen Gira. This is Quest & Chorus #309 0:58 - Niamh Dunne "Ballyneety's Walls" from Portraits 4:17 - WELCOME TO QUEST & CHORUS Welcome to Quest & Chorus, where every wave might carry a myth, and every exile still dreams of home. I'm your bard, Marc Gunn, also host of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, and typically host of this show as Folk Songs & Stories, but today, we call it Quest & Chorus. And today, we drift to the edge of the world, To Skellig Michael, where the sea swallows history and monks once whispered their prayers to gulls. It's also where a Jedi gave up the fight. And where a selkie sings himself back into the sea. Today's theme may seem like exile or perhaps it's where you truly belong. Quest & Chorus is a 6-part podcast series. I fuse my love of Celtic and folk music, science fiction and fantasy, and travel into a podcast with a quest. In each episode, you will get a clue to unlock a secret reward.

Let's begin the… 13:47 - QUEST & CHORUS of SKELLIG MICHAEL Eight miles off the coast of County Kerry is the island of Skellig Michael. It is a jagged twin-peaked island. Its name comes from the Irish Sceilg Mhichíl which means Michael's Rock. It was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The island's history began in the sixth century. Monks sought isolation and closeness to God. So they settled there because the early Irish monastic tradition valued hardship, solitude, and spiritual testing. The monks carved out a small community on narrow terraces more than 600 steps above sea level. The monastic settlement they built still survives. They built a cluster of beehive stone huts, stone crosses and terraces connected by narrow paths. Everything was dry-stone construction. That means they were fitted together without mortar. They were built so well that they have lasted over a millennium. The monks grew small gardens, caught seabirds and fish, and collected rainwater in cisterns. They survived off of what the island would allow. Skellig Michael was a center of devotion to Saint Michael the Archangel sometime after the 8th century. The island was also a pilgrimage site for centuries. Climbing its steps was seen as a form of penance and spiritual renewal. By the 13th century, life on Skellig Michael had become too difficult. Storms, isolation, and changing Church patterns led the monks to relocate to the mainland, near Ballinskelligs. But the island remained a place of pilgrimage well into the modern era. Skellig Michael is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is recognized for its exceptional preservation of early Christian monastic life and its haunting natural beauty. It's also become familiar to a new generation as Ahch-To, the oceanic world where Luke Skywalker lived in exile in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Even now, Skellig Michael stands as a symbol of endurance, of faith carved into stone, of solitude turned to sanctuary, and of the fragile bridge between human devotion and the raw power of nature. LEGENDS OF SKELLIG MICHAEL One of the more famous legends involves the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Milesian invasion of Ireland. It is recounted in the Lebor Gabála Érenn (the Book of Invasions). According to this myth: As the Milesians sailed toward Ireland around 1400 BC in the mythic narrative, a storm was caused by the Tuatha Dé Danann. They are one of the faerie-like supernatural race in Irish mythology. Skellig's cliffs are sometimes mentioned as one of the treacherous places where ships were driven ashore. One version says Irr, a son of Míl Espáine (the mythic ancestor of the Gaels), was travelling from the Iberian Peninsula. He drowned and was buried on Skellig. MY THOUGHTS on SKELLIG MICHAEL 20:02 - Marc Gunn “Selkie's Life” from Come Adventure With Me Check out my blog of the puffins of Skellig Michael. Selkie's Life, Selkie Call of the Sea #234 Thank you for returning to the sea with me. Skellig Michael is not the end of the story. But it's where stories are kept safe. Next time, we wander the great alignments of Carnac, stones older than myth, standing like trees in time. Until then… If the sea calls you, don't be afraid to answer. 23:39 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Quest & Chorus. This episode was edited by Mitchell Petersen.

Charles Funk, President and CEO of Heliostar Metals (TSX.V:HSTR – OTCQX:HSTXF – FSE:RGG1), joins me to discuss a series of key updates across the company's portfolio in Mexico. We focus on the new La Colorada Technical Report, high-grade drill results from Ana Paula, and the expanding development and production pipeline. Key Discussion Highlights: La Colorada Technical Report: Upside case based on $3,500/oz gold delivers a post-tax NPV of US$243M and 168% IRR. Base case uses $2,300/oz gold with a $1,626/oz AISC and a 6-year mine life producing ~286,000 ounces of gold. Fully funded development plan utilizing internal cash flow from San Antonio and stockpile production - no dilution required. Expansion & Exploration Potential: Drilling at Veta Madre Plus could add ~28,000 ounces and ~$30M in cash flow through a larger pit shell. Additional upside from high-grade zones at depth and near-mine exploration around Creston and other targets. Ana Paula Drill Results: Standout intercept: 88m grading 8.8 g/t gold from 88m downhole. 15,000m infill and conversion program underway; expanding to three rigs. Upcoming PEA this quarter to outline underground economics, followed by a feasibility study targeting construction decision for 2028 production. Resource: 710,000 oz M&I and 450,000 oz inferred with goal to convert total to M&I. Strong Financial Position: ~$30M cash (end of Q2) with increasing Q3 balance expected.

Nick and Dan break down the essential metrics every Canadian real estate investor needs to master: cap rate, DSCR, cash-on-cash return, and IRR. Using a detailed Hamilton duplex example, they demonstrate how to calculate each metric, explain what they reveal (and what they don't), and show how to use them strategically—from quick property screening to deep financial modeling. Cap rate is your screening tool: Perfect for quickly comparing properties across markets, but it doesn't account for financing or long-term performance. DSCR and cash-on-cash reveal actual profitability: These metrics show whether your property will make or lose money with financing—the Hamilton example had a terrible 0.61 DSCR and -10.5% cash-on-cash return. IRR captures the complete picture: It's the only metric that accounts for the entire investment lifecycle including appreciation, principal paydown, and your exit, showing you can still profit even with negative annual cash flow.

Interview with Alan Carter, President & CEO of Cabral Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cabral-gold-tsxvcbr-2500oz-margins-position-brazil-project-for-exceptional-near-term-returns-8097Recording date: 16th October 2025Cabral Gold has positioned itself for a transition from explorer to producer following the recent US$45 million gold loan financing that fully funds construction of its Brazilian heap leach operation without diluting shareholders, a rare achievement in the junior mining sector. With first gold pour scheduled for Q4 2026, investors have clear visibility to cash flow generation within 12 months.The project's financial profile stands out in today's gold price environment. At US$2,500/oz gold, the operation generates a 78% IRR with just US$37.7 million in capital requirements and a 10-month payback period. All-in sustaining costs of US$1,210/oz create margins exceeding US$3,000/oz at current gold prices, translating to approximately US$75 million in annual pre-tax cash flow. This positions Cabral among the highest-margin gold developers globally, with sufficient cash generation to self-fund aggressive exploration while maintaining financial flexibility.The value proposition extends beyond near-term production. Located adjacent to Brazil's third-largest gold mine, Cuiú Cuiú produced 10 times more historical placer gold than its neighbor, suggesting substantially greater hard rock potential. With current resources of 1.2 million ounces and recent drill intercepts up to 33 g/t gold outside resource boundaries, the company has identified over 50 exploration targets across the district. Management's track record, including CEO Alan Carter's involvement in discovering the neighboring G Mining's Tocantinzinho deposit, provides operational credibility. The combination of near-term cash flow, substantial margins, exploration upside, and experienced management in a proven jurisdiction creates multiple pathways to potential value creation. For investors seeking exposure to emerging gold producers with growth optionality, Cabral presents a differentiated opportunity with both production visibility and district-scale exploration potential in one of Brazil's most established gold regions.—Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/cabral-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
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. Twyerould explained that net proceeds from the offering will be allocated toward drilling, metallurgical testing, and permitting activities, all of which will feed into a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the company's flagship Gunnison Copper Project in Arizona. In addition, a portion of the proceeds will be used for the partial repayment of outstanding debt owed to Nebari Holdings. The Gunnison Copper Project is among the most advanced in-situ recovery copper projects in North America, with a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of over 831.6 million tons grading 0.31% copper, including 640.2 million tons at 0.29% copper in the Indicated category. The company's Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) highlighted robust project economics, including an NPV (8%) of US$1.3 billion, an internal rate of return (IRR) of 20.9%, and a payback period of just over four years. Twyerould emphasized that this raise represents an important step in advancing the Gunnison Project toward pre-feasibility, positioning Gunnison Copper for the next stage of development in a rising copper price environment driven by the global energy transition. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf r #CopperMining #USMining #CopperProject #MiningInvestment #CommodityMarkets #CopperProduction #ArizonaMining #ResourceDevelopment #MiningStocks #CopperDemand #MetalsAndMining

My guest today is Michael Etzel – a partner at Bridgespan, and one of the key architects behind a shift that's still unfolding: the effort to bring hard-nosed analytical discipline to a field once seen as closer to charity than capital.Michael came to this work from the social sector, back when “impact investing” wasn't yet a defined field. At Bridgespan, he began advising philanthropists and foundations – and over time, that work expanded to include some of the world's largest asset managers as they started asking how capital could solve problems philanthropy couldn't.His idea was pretty simple: to put impact first.Our conversation starts with that principle – and where it sits between two poles. On one side: traditional philanthropy willing to lose money in service of outcomes. On the other: finance-first investing chasing market-rate returns. Impact-first lives in the messy middle. The kind where the first diligence question isn't “What's the IRR?” – it's “What's the problem we're solving?”Michael was one of the architects of the Impact Multiple of Money, or IMM – a six-step process designed to estimate and compare the social or environmental value created for every dollar invested. It starts with what a business produces, connects those outputs to real-world outcomes, and draws on academic research to ground the analysis. The result is a dollar-based estimate of impact – not to put a price on people's lives, but to give investors a common language for understanding what value really means.Michael breaks it down in plain terms. He and his team actually put numbers to impact – they start with what a business produces, figure out what real-world benefits come from that, adjust for the risks, and then compare it to the money invested.The IMM framework is now used across TPG's Rise and Rise Climate funds, together managing tens of billions of dollars in assets. It's become part of how they underwrite investments, sitting right alongside financial measures like IRR and MOIC when evaluating performance.And the best part – it's open source. The full method and case studies are published in Harvard Business Review (“Calculating the Value of Impact Investing”), so anyone can see how the math works.But for Michael, this work has never been just about frameworks. It's about decision-making – what actually happens inside organizations when impact moves from a good idea to something real.In this conversation, we also got into some of the bigger questions shaping the future of the field:Fiduciary duty, and why that concept needs a serious resetHow much progress still depends on individuals, not market forcesAnd why one of the most overlooked disciplines in this work is simply knowing how to say noTune in!*** Impact investing services are provided by Bridgespan Social Impact, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Bridgespan Group.–About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:- The Bridgespan Group website- Michael Etzel Biography- Michael Etzel LinkedIn- Calculating the Value of Impact Investing
Most people think valuations come down to simple formulas: EBITDA multiples, discounted cash flows, and comps. The reality in aerospace and defense is far more complex. That's the reason so many owners and even investors misunderstand how acquisitions actually work in this industry. The truth is, not every buyer values the same business the same way. A small private buyer focuses on what they can finance. A mid-sized family-owned firm is driven by IRR and payback ratios. Large public companies move based on stock price and accretion. And private equity? Despite having the cash, they often find themselves at a disadvantage, outbid, or outmaneuvered by buyers who can leverage existing capacity, sales teams, and operating talent. That's also why talent is one of the most overlooked yet critical pieces of any deal. The quality of management, the depth of customer relationships, and even succession planning can add or strip away millions from a sale price. In this episode, sell-side banker Bill Alderman returns for his quarterly M&A check-in. We break down the five buyer mindsets that actually drive valuation, and how management succession becomes the most valuable “intellectual property” in a deal. You'll also learn: The five buyer archetypes, and how each one calculates value differently Why “financeability” sets the floor and “EPS accretion” sets the ceiling The critical role of management teams and succession planning in deal pricing How strategic buyers use capacity, salesforce, and cost absorption to outbid private equity Why valuation isn't just math, it's psychology, timing, and leverage What today's seller-friendly market means for owners looking to exit in the next 12–24 months Guest Bio William H.

NextSource Materials Inc. (TSX:NEXT, OTCQB:NSRCF) President and CEO Hanré Rossouw talked with Proactive about the company's technical and economic study for its active anode material project in Abu Dhabi. Rossouw said the development marks a “pivotal moment” for NextSource as it positions itself as one of the largest non-Chinese producers of battery anode material for electric vehicles and grid-scale storage. He explained that the project is underpinned by an offtake agreement with Mitsubishi, with a total capital cost of US $291 million, including US $150 million for the first phase. The study showed an IRR of 24% and a payback period of 4.6 years, resulting in a net present value above US $400 million. Rossouw highlighted that Abu Dhabi's industrial zone offered cost advantages, rapid time-to-market, and an existing ecosystem of reagent suppliers and low-cost power. He added that NextSource aims to complete financing with support from Société Générale and potential local partners, combining debt and equity at both asset and group levels. The CEO said the company is progressing toward a final investment decision, with half of the required equipment already ordered and stored in Mauritius and China. The project forms part of NextSource's broader strategy to build vertically integrated anode capacity outside Asia, supported by graphite from its Molo mine in Madagascar.

My guest today is Daniel Izzo, co-founder and CEO of Vox Capital – Brazil's first impact investing firm.When Vox launched in 2009, the term "impact investing" barely existed in Latin America. There was no roadmap, just a few people who believed business could do more than serve the top of the pyramid.Daniel teamed up with Kelly Michel, co-founder of Artemisia, an accelerator for social entrepreneurs. Kelly introduced him to Antonio Ermírio de Moraes Neto, a young investor from one of Brazil's most prominent business families. Together, the three launched Vox Capital.When Vox began in 2009, few understood what they were trying to do – and fewer believed in it. “People thought it was cute... crazy... or got angry at us.” The infrastructure wasn't there. Most investors ignored 85% of the population outside their own social class. Daniel understood why – but he also knew what they were missing.His team wasn't avoiding Brazil's social challenges, but solving them. They focused on early-stage companies that could scale – businesses built for scarcity, but still desirable for all.The breakthrough came from the results. Their second fund proved returns were possible – over 30% IRR – and suddenly, the skepticism began to fade. Today, Vox manages over $300 million across VC, credit, and real estate – all aiming to unlock opportunity for Brazil's low-income communities.They invested early in a medical education company that slashed the cost of specialist training from $10,000 to $1,000 and made it available online. They also backed Latin America's leading ventilator maker, years before COVID hit. When the pandemic overwhelmed Brazil's hospitals, that company supplied over 80% of the ventilators procured by the Brazilian government during the crisis.But Vox isn't just about writing checks. They take board seats, offer strategic advice, connect founders with new markets, and help navigate major crises.Today, they're leaning into catalytic capital, reforestation, regenerative agriculture, and environmental finance – the next frontier for impact.In Brazil, where deforestation and unsustainable land use drive climate damage, Daniel sees a huge long-term opportunity. Not just to earn returns, but to restore ecosystems.When I asked him what he'd fix with a magic wand, he went straight to mindset. “It'll only be good for everyone, when it's really good for everyone.” He believes ultra-wealthy families have a responsibility to mobilize their capital for collective survival.This is a conversation about what it takes to build in a place where the challenges are complex, the urgency is real, and the opportunity is bigger than most people realize. Daniel makes the case that the next era of capital won't just be about returns – it'll be about restoration, resilience, and responsibility.Tune in.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

The Benefit of Short-Term Returns Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In startup investing, many investors swing for the fences. The goal is to make each investment a homerun. In most cases, home runs will take a substantial amount of time to complete. There are benefits to short-term investments in which the returns are smaller. Here are some benefits to consider: There's a psychological boost that comes from knowing you've had a return of capital. The returned cash can be recycled into a follow-on investment in a home run deal. Short-term returns are easier to fund. Home run deals are often difficult to get into due to investor demand. Short-term returns are easier to find. There are many startups that can return capital in three years or less. This can boost one's investment metric, such as an IRR, which includes time to return as part of the calculation. Consider both short and long-term return startups for your investment strategy. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: Check out our other podcasts here: For Investors check out: For Startups check out: For eGuides check out: For upcoming Events, check out For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please , share, and leave a review.

Interview with Frederick H. Earnest, President & CEO of Vista GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/from-mega-mines-to-lean-machines-rio2-ltd-vista-golds-blueprint-for-fast-track-gold-production-7298Recording date: 16th September 2025Vista Gold Corp (TSX:VGZ) presents a compelling investment opportunity through its strategic transformation of the Mt Todd Gold Project, Australia's second largest undeveloped gold asset and the largest not owned by an existing producer. The company's recent feasibility study represents a fundamental strategic pivot that has created enhanced economics, reduced capital requirements, and multiple pathways for value realization.The cornerstone of Vista Gold's investment thesis lies in its decision to redesign Mt Todd from a massive 50,000 ton per day operation requiring over $1 billion in initial capital to a more focused 15,000 ton per day operation with $425 million capex—a 59% reduction that makes financing significantly more achievable. This strategic shift prioritizes grade over volume, raising the cut-off grade from 0.35 g/t to 0.5 g/t, resulting in a 23% improvement in reserve grade while maintaining over 5 million ounces of gold reserves.The redesigned project delivers exceptional economics with an NPV5 of $1.1 billion using a conservative $2,500 gold price assumption. At $3,300 gold price, closer to current market levels above $3,600, the NPV increases to $2.2 billion with an IRR approaching 45%. The production profile shows consistent output of 153,000 ounces annually over the first 15 years, providing predictable cash flow generation that appeals to investors seeking stable gold exposure.The market has responded overwhelmingly positively to Vista Gold's strategic direction, with shares surging 133% from 93 cents to $2.17 following the July feasibility study publication. This appreciation reflects both the favorable gold price environment and increased recognition of the project's improved risk-reward profile, demonstrating investor confidence in management's strategic execution.Vista Gold's strategic approach provides investors with exposure to three distinct value realization scenarios: joint venture partnerships, potential sale or corporate transactions, and self-development. This optionality ensures the company can adapt to market conditions and capitalize on the most favorable outcome for shareholders. The reduced capital requirements have expanded the pool of potential joint venture partners, while the project's improved economics make it more attractive for corporate transactions.Mt Todd's unique positioning as Australia's largest undeveloped gold project not owned by a producer provides significant strategic value in the current consolidation environment. The project benefits from Australia's political stability, established mining infrastructure, and proximity to Asian gold demand centers, reducing development risk compared to emerging market alternatives.Vista Gold offers investors exposure to a premier undeveloped gold asset with management that has demonstrated strategic flexibility to optimize shareholder value. The combination of proven reserves exceeding 5 million ounces, enhanced project economics, reduced capital requirements, and multiple development pathways positions the company as an attractive vehicle for gold sector exposure. With gold prices providing substantial operational margins above feasibility study assumptions and strong market validation through share price appreciation, Vista Gold represents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking exposure to Australia's gold sector through a strategically positioned development company.View Vista Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/vista-gold-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
How Key Person Insurance Saved Joel Friedland's Real Estate Portfolio - #250 In this episode of The Real Estate Reserve Podcast, we sit down with Chicago industrial real estate investor Joel Friedland to hear how decades of investing, market cycles, and a high-stakes partnership shaped his conservative, debt-free investment philosophy. Joel started in industrial real estate syndications at just 22 years old, eventually building a portfolio of over 50 properties. Along the way, he experienced the highs of rapid growth, the pressures of the 2008 financial crisis with $70M in personal guarantees, and the painful reality of a partnership gone wrong. Through it all, key person insurance (also called keyman insurance) became the safety net that saved his business and his investors when tragedy struck. But Joel's story isn't just about survival—it's about lessons learned and how to build a portfolio designed to last. You'll hear: ✅ How Joel built his career in industrial real estate syndications ✅ The risks of personal guarantees, high leverage, and “saying yes” to the wrong deals ✅ Why he compares partnerships to marriage—and how ignoring red flags nearly cost him everything ✅ The 2008 financial crisis, seven banks pushing workouts, and what finally pushed him to adopt a no-debt/low-debt strategy ✅ How key person insurance and succession planning protect investors ✅ His current approach: debt-averse, small industrial buildings, long-term holds, and 7.5% preferred returns with investors ✅ Why he says IRR stands for “Irrelevant”—and why he focuses on cash flow and 14% average annual returns instead ✅ The importance of investor relationships, succession plans, and building a business you can sleep well at night with Joel also shares candid reflections on lifestyle creep, partnership struggles, and why “breaking up is hard to do” when you're living the good life—but necessary for long-term stability. Plus, you'll learn how he structures deals today, from raising 100% equity, to waterfalls and prefs, to creative solutions for investors who want to exit without selling a property. This is a masterclass in risk management, succession planning, and conservative industrial real estate investing.

Interview with Tim Clark, CEO, Fury Gold MinesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/fury-gold-mines-tsxfury-multi-asset-canadian-high-grade-gold-explorer-with-strong-financials-5957Recording date: 11th September 2025Fury Gold Mines has emerged as a compelling investment opportunity in the junior gold mining sector, presenting multiple pathways to value creation through its high-grade Eau Claire resource in Quebec and diversified portfolio approach. The company's recently released preliminary economic assessment demonstrates robust standalone economics with a $554 million net present value and 41% internal rate of return, based on conservative $2,400 gold pricing.What sets Fury apart from typical junior miners is its strategic toll milling optionality, which could dramatically enhance returns while reducing capital requirements. Located 50-60 kilometers from an underutilized processing facility, the company has modeled scenarios showing potential IRR increases to 84% under full toll milling arrangements. This flexibility addresses one of the primary challenges facing junior developers: substantial upfront capital expenditure.The company's financial strength provides significant competitive advantages through its $65 million equity position in Dolly Varden Silver Corporation and New York Stock Exchange listing, which grants access to US retail investors comprising two-thirds of the shareholder base. CEO Tim Clark emphasizes this positioning enables selective capital raising while maintaining disciplined dilution management of just 3-4% annually.Beyond the flagship Eau Claire project approaching 2 million ounces, Fury maintains additional growth catalysts including a partnership with Agnico Eagle on Committee Bay properties in Nunavut and recently acquired Quebec assets. The company also holds the only full feasibility study on an unbuilt rare earth project, adding further monetization potential.Despite recent 30% share price appreciation following the PEA release, Clark believes Fury remains significantly undervalued at $25 per ounce compared to peer averages of $50 per ounce. With sustained gold price strength driving renewed investor interest in quality junior miners, Fury appears positioned to capture disproportionate value as market recognition increases and development activities advance across its diversified portfolio.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/fury-gold-minesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss! Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today.Globex Mining (TSX: GMX) Operator Radisson reported multiple high-grade gold intercepts on ground where Globex holds a 2% NSR royalty at East O'Brien, including hits from ~200 m to ~1,400 m depth and deep step-outs that push mineralization ~300 m deeper. With four rigs turning, continued success could translate into future royalty cash flow for Globex without mine-build risk.Pan Global Resources (TSXV: PGZ) At the Cármenes Project in northern Spain, hole PVD06 cut 34.0 m at 3.01 g/t gold near surface, including 5.0 m at 8.93 g/t and 2.0 m at 15.18 g/t, extending mineralization ~70 m east. The zone remains open, and assays for step-out hole PVD07 are pending, adding near-term catalysts.Northern Superior (TSXV: SUP) Historical drilling on the new Hazeur property, 350–400 m west of the Philibert conceptual pit, returned 25.5 m at 1.10 g/t gold (incl. 1.7 m at 7.28 g/t), pointing to a 600 m western extension of the Red Fox zone. The company also added 2,100 ha north of Chevrier, bringing Chibougamau holdings to 70,000+ ha, with ~2,000 m of Philibert assays still to come.Nevada Lithium (TSXV: NVLH) Filed PEA for the Bonnie Claire project with after-tax NPV8% of US$6.83B, IRR of 32.3% and a 2.8-year payback. The plan outlines ~62,300 t/y lithium carbonate plus ~129,500 t/y boric acid over a potential 61-year life, with estimated operating costs of US$6,800/t (helped by the boric acid credit). Early-stage, but a notable U.S. lithium development story.NTG Clarity (TSXV: NCI) Announced C$10.9M in new purchase orders and renewals: C$1.4M from three new customers, C$9.5M in renewals/expansions, and C$2.9M in NTGapps software orders booked at 33% higher rates under a C$53M framework.

Interview with Joseph Ovsenek, President & CEO, and Ken McNaughton, CExpO of P2 Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/p2-gold-pgld-goldcopper-explorer-racing-to-production-3124Recording date: 27th August 2025P2 Gold Corp (TSXV:PGLD) is positioning itself as Nevada's next significant precious metals producer through its flagship Gabbs gold-copper project, led by veteran mining executives Joseph Ovsenek and Ken McNaughton who previously built Silver Standard from $10 million to $2.8 billion market capitalization.The company's updated Preliminary Economic Assessment demonstrates compelling project economics with a 21.6% internal rate of return and $300 million NPV at base case metal prices. At current spot prices, these metrics surge dramatically to 55-56% IRR and over $600 million NPV, highlighting the project's leverage to the current precious metals environment.The Gabbs project contains 3.5 million ounces of gold equivalent resources across four mineralization zones, comprising approximately 2 million ounces of gold and 1.5 million copper equivalent. This positions Gabbs to become the third or fourth largest gold deposit in Nevada, providing natural price hedging through its balanced precious-base metals profile.P2 Gold has achieved a critical metallurgical breakthrough through SART technology (Sulfidization, Acidification, Recovery, Recycling and Thickening), overcoming historical processing challenges that made the project uneconomic in the 1990s. The technology delivers 88% gold recovery and 67% copper recovery while dramatically improving leach kinetics from over 145 days to under 60 days.This technological advancement addresses the primary obstacle that previously prevented development - the interference between copper and gold in cyanide leaching. The SART process allows simultaneous recovery of both metals while regenerating cyanide, substantially reducing operating costs.Gabbs benefits from superior infrastructure including highway access, power lines crossing the property, and proximity to Hawthorne, an established mining town just 45 minutes away. These advantages eliminate typical remote mining challenges, reducing both capital expenditure and operational complexity while providing access to skilled workforce and services.The development plan envisions a 14.2-year mine life processing 9 million tons annually, beginning with oxide heap leaching to generate cash flow before constructing a conventional mill. With $365 million in pre-production capital and strong project economics, P2 Gold is advancing toward production in Nevada's mining-friendly jurisdiction with no anticipated permitting obstacles.View P2 Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/p2-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Mike Kron, founder of Guardian Advisory, to discuss his launch of a $100 million private equity fund focused on single tenant net lease (STNL) retail assets.

In a market flooded with pitch decks and pro forma promises, what actually drives durable returns in private real estate? In this episode, Jim sits down with Jacob Vanderslice of VanWest Partners to dissect the operational backbone of self-storage, the risks behind the spreadsheets, and why real investors focus on downside protection more than projected upside. Key Takeaways: Self-storage is an operating business. With granular rent streams, month-to-month leases, and retail-level management, it's not just real estate—it's operations. Cycles expose weak decisions. Jacob shares how forced timing, tax pressures, and poor planning can destroy returns—and how to avoid those traps. The right questions matter. A good pitch isn't enough. Investors should ask about worst-case outcomes, not just IRR targets. Self-storage may look simple from the outside, but as Jacob Vanderslice makes clear, consistent returns come from disciplined operations, not market timing. W hether you're using Infinite Banking or other private capital strategies, the message is the same: know your operator, understand the risks, and focus on long-term execution—not short-term projections.
