Cobalt Blue Holdings Ltd (ASX:COB, OTC:CBBHF) investor relations representative Joel Crane talked with Proactive's Tylah Tully about the company's earn-in for the Halls Creek Project and its proposal to rebrand as Core Blue Minerals Ltd. Crane explains that Halls Creek is a significant polymetallic copper resource with notable zinc and silver grades. The project is located in a well-established mining jurisdiction and comes with existing mining leases, positioning the company ahead in the permitting process. Discussing the acquisition, Crane outlined three key benefits: Leveraging expertise – The company will apply metallurgical innovations from its Broken Hill Demonstration Plant. Resource potential – The project has high-grade extension opportunities and unassessed cobalt, aligning with the company's Kwinana cobalt refinery strategy. Commodity diversification – Adding copper exposure helps mitigate single-commodity risks while supporting the energy transition. Crane also explained the reasoning behind the proposed name change to Core Blue Minerals Ltd, noting that the company is expanding beyond cobalt. Despite the broader focus, the company remains committed to its core projects, including the Kwinana Cobalt Refinery and Broken Hill Cobalt Project. #CobaltBlue #MiningNews #Copper #Cobalt #HallsCreek #BatteryMetals #EnergyTransition #CommodityMarkets #MiningInvestment #ResourceDevelopment

Proactive's Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts' of the latest news from Cadoux Ltd. The company has provided its December 2024 quarterly update, detailing progress on its two critical minerals projects. Cadoux continued engineering studies for its High Purity Alumina (HPA) project in Western Australia and advanced feasibility studies for the Minhub mineral separation plant in Darwin. At the HPA project, Stage 1/Phase 2 engineering activities progressed, including Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) work, equipment fabrication, and environmental planning for the Kwinana production facility. Marketing efforts continued, with prospective customers assessing HPA samples for heavy-duty electric vehicle applications. Research and development partnerships remain active, focusing on downstream product applications. Cadoux holds a 50% interest in Minhub Operations Pty Ltd (MOPL) and is fully funding the Minhub feasibility study and associated research. The study is nearing completion, incorporating engineering improvements. Minhub aims to process 500,000 tonnes per annum of heavy mineral concentrate from third-party sources, with ongoing discussions for offtake agreements. On ESG initiatives, Cadoux engaged with industry groups, reviewed climate-related financial risks, and maintained community outreach activities. The company ended the quarter with approximately AU$2.43 million in cash. Upcoming activities include finalising the Minhub feasibility study, advancing permitting for the Kwinana HPA site, and continuing R&D and equipment testing in the March 2025 quarter. #Cadoux #HPA #RareEarths #CriticalMineral #BatteryMaterials #Mining #MineralProcessing #Sustainability #ElectricVehicles #TechInnovation #Engineering #GreenEnergy #ResourceDevelopment #LithiumIonBatteries #RareEarthMetals #AustralianMining #MiningNews #ESG #MineralSands #CleanEnergy

Proactive's Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts' of the latest news from Australian Vanadium Ltd (ASX: AVL, OTCQB: ATVVF). Through its subsidiary VSUN Energy, Australian Vanadium is advancing Project Lumina, a modular and scalable utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) using vanadium flow battery (VFB) technology. The project targets medium-to-long-duration energy storage solutions for Australian energy markets. Key appointments include Genus for power conversion and transformer systems, Sedgman for vanadium electrolyte storage and integration, and CellCube for technical expertise and power units. These partners bring expertise from high-profile projects, such as WA's Kwinana lithium-ion BESS. Project Lumina has progressed to Phase 2, refining assumptions from Phase 1, which demonstrated competitive levelised costs of storage at A$274/MWh for four-hour and A$251/MWh for eight-hour configurations. Phase 2 focuses on finalising 100MW system designs, optimising a “deconstructed” BESS model for extended lifespans beyond 40 years, and engaging energy offtakers, securing land and evaluating funding strategies. VSUN Energy highlights the importance of these partnerships in advancing utility-scale energy storage solutions, positioning Project Lumina as a leader in the renewable energy transition across Australia. #ProactiveInvestors #AustralianVanadium #ASX #OTC #Justthefacts #ProjectLumina, #VSUNEnergy, #VanadiumFlowBattery, #BESS, #EnergyStorage, #RenewableEnergy, #BatteryTechnology, #UtilityScaleStorage, #CellCube, #Sedgman, #Genus, #CleanEnergy, #LongDurationStorage, #SustainableEnergy, #GridStorage, #EnergyTransition, #VanadiumBatteries, #EnergyInnovation, #FutureEnergySolutions

The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) this week revoked former SAA director Yakhe Kwinana's membership following the outcome of her disciplinary hearing.  Kwinana is a former SAA board member who came into the spotlight when she used the "fat cake" analogy at the commission into State Capture  to justify cancelling an 85 million Rand contract and handing it to subsidiary, Air Chefs,  without a tender.The tender was initially awarded to LSG Sky Chefs. Kwinana served as a board member at the national carrier between 2009 and 2016. This is what she said during her testimony to the State Capture commission in November 2020. The SAICA Disciplinary Committee found Kwinana guilty of 13 of the 14 charges against her. According to the committee Kwinana is not a fit and proper individual to be a member of the profession and has been fined six-point-one-million rand for all 13 of her charges.  To explain this decision we spoke to CEO of The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA), Freeman Nomvalo...

This week, we head to the City of Kwinana for the first time and chat to Sally Lovett, Wellard's #1 sales agent, about her hometown suburb. After booming through to 2014, Wellard's prices saw some of the most drastic values drops in the state for the next 6 years. Where are values now? Have they recovered in the last 12 months? This family suburb has a lot to offer from small 3x2s all the way through to large format multi-hectare lots. 

A multi-tiered wheat market has opened up in the last couple of weeks, with a huge spread in prices between top quality APW wheat and lower quality ASW. Prices ex Kwinana yesterday show APW was trading at $415 a tonne, while ASW was trading at $330 a tonne. That's a difference of $85 dollars and it's usually only a $10 to $15 difference. It's a sign the market believes a lot of low quality wheat is about to be harvested in Australia and it's sending a message that what it really wants is high quality wheat. The minister for Aboriginal affairs Stephen Dawson has refused a request for an interview on the ABC Country Hour to address concerns around WA's new Aboriginal cultural heritage laws and how it will affect the farm sector. The state opposition says lengthy delays to a business case for tier three rail lines could result in WA missing out on federal government funding to restore some of the lines.

PODCAST: Three points to Triangle Energy's success Aussie oil producer holds key to supply security in WA WESTERN Australian oil producer Triangle Energy (ASX:TEG) owns a massive footprint of prime acreage in the onshore and offshore Perth Basin. The company, led by well-known executive Rob Towner, has three key points of difference to other oil and gas explorers and producers in Australia. For a start, it already has a producing oil field offshore the MidWest of Western Australia called Cliff Head. Triangle Energy plans a low-cost redevelopment of the field, which will target three prospects known as Mentelle, Western Development, and South East Nose. At a cost of just $20 million, the wells will intersect three “drill ready” prospects to boost production from the field to between 4000 and 10,000 barrels of oil per day. The Cliff Head project contains 1.2 million barrels in proven reserves, but could hold as much as 9.3 million barrels of oil on a best prospective resource basis. Plans are already underway for the redevelopment and can be drilled from the already existing Cliff Head platform. The platform is in shallow waters just of Dongara and is connected to a plant called Arrowsmith by a 12-kilometre pipeline. Arrowsmith is the start of the refining process, separating water from crude and delivering oil which is then trucked to BP's Kwinana terminal to the south. Oil is then stored at Kwinana and then exported to Singapore for international markets. The pipeline which connects Cliff Head to Arrowsmith is critical infrastructure, in that it could also be modified to include potential offshore wind connection to the WA grid. Meanwhile the Arrowsmith plant, which has a capacity to refine 15,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, is a highly sought-after facility. With interest peaking in onshore oil exploration in Western Australia, the Arrowsmith plant could be used for third-party processing going forward. But this is just the tip of the iceberg for Triangle, because it holds a vast 10,000 square kilometres of exploration acreage where oil has been found before. It owns the Mt Horner L7 permit along with the adjacent EP 437 permit onshore. Triangle Energy will undertake 3D seismic surveys across the permits to unlock future discoveries. The Mt Horner project has already produced 1.8 million barrels of oil to date, but holds many exploration opportunities. Offshore again, Triangle Energy owns the WA-481-P licence, surrounding its Cliff Head project which is one of the largest underexplored permits in Australia.

Farmers in the WA grain belt are making last minute changes to their cropping programs to take advantage of the ten year record high prices for canola. Taking a look at yesterday's prices ex Kwinana, old crop canola was fetching $657 a tonne and new crop $755 a tonne, that's a $40 premium on the best prices on offer for canola around the world. The latest GIWA crop report has canola plantings well over 1.4 million hectares, that's already a record for WA and likely to increase in the updated crop report, due out next week.

The state's main grain handler, the CBH Group, has suffered extensive damage to grain and infrastructure in the Mid West after several grain sites were hit by ex Tropical Cyclone Seroja. Up to 170, 000 tonnes of grain has potentially been exposed to rain after tarps were ripped from grain storage bulkheads. CBH has also declared force majeur for Geraldton and parts of the Kwinana port zones, which means due to unforeseen circumstances, that is TC Seroja, CBH won't be able to fulfill some contracts.

Michael is joined by John Blackburn AO, Air Vice-Marshal (Ret'd) / Chairman of the Institute for Integrated Economic Research – Australia, regarding British energy giant BP’s announcement this week that it will permanently shut down one of Australia's last remaining oil refineries. The Kwinana Refinery, located on the shore of Cockburn Sound at Kwinana, near Fremantle W.A., is Australia's largest refinery with a capacity of 150,000 barrels of oil per day.  BP’s move will trigger hundreds of job losses and increase Australia’s reliance on imported fuel prompting union calls for urgent government intervention.

Anika and Yolande Kwinana are founding members of Arlington for Justice, a nonprofit in Arlington, VA, that bills itself as an organization that works to bring a new era of public safety to the neighborhoods there by seeking reform of Arlington's criminal justice system. The couple sat down with me virtually and shared what the Arlington for Justice is all about. More than that, though, was the candid portion, where they allowed a peek into the personal side of being married, fighting for justice on numerous fronts, the joys and hardships, tough times, times that were motivating them to get to the point of protesting and raising awareness about injustice, those Daily Border Crossings moments of being othered and the painstaking brunt of that. Yolande gave particularly insightful thoughts through her lens of being Black and an immigrant and what she discovered racially after arriving in the U.S.; Anika shares her experience of wedding planning and being a newlywed -- and keeping both mostly under wraps because...society. You won't want to miss this as both Anika and Yolande open up about life and all these identifiers that lead to isms and to othering and to feeling like you're crossing a border to just be. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dailybordercrossings/message

On today’s Regional Update Podcast, we’re going to focus on the weed Matricaria, which has been a growing concern in Western Australia’s eastern Wheatbelt since it first emerged the late 1960s. Matricaria has spread to neighbouring regions and developed into a weed of serious concern for growers, particularly those in the Geraldton and Kwinana port zones. Alex Douglas from DPIRD joins us to explain how to identify and control this weed. You can find further information on this weed by checking out this GRDC Paddock Practices article: https://grdc.com.au/news-and-media/news-and-media-releases/west/2020/june/paddock-practices-herbicide-timing-key-in-managing-matricaria Alex Douglas also has written a Grains Research Update paper on Matricaria which you read here: http://bit.ly/2TOHT05

Tesla Profits & Lithium Prophets As LME Week transitions toward Hotel California Benchmark Minerals Anodes/Cathodes and Deutsche Bank’s annual New York Lithium & Battery Supply Chain conference, Rodney Hooper shares thoughts on profitability - Tesla Q3 and Volkswagen’s long-term expectations - BMW direct battery materials sourcing, Tianqi’s overrun at Kwinana and the math behind $12K+ battery quality lithium pricing long-term. Howard comments on North American Rock - the evolving Carolina to Quebec Hydroxide Hub - and borate/lithium plays in Western USA. And let's not forget Brien Lundin’s 45th Annual New Orleans Investment Conference Halloween Weekend at which Benchmark’s Simon Moores & The BOSS Keith Phillips @PiedmontLithium will be the principal EV-angelizers of the lithium investment thematic. New Kid in Town: E3 Metals Corp (TSX-V: ETMC, CAD 10M market cap) After The (white) Gold Rush of 2016/2017, and with substantial shortages of battery quality lithium chemicals forecast by as early as 2022/23 by virtually every analyst who has examined the lithium business the longest and in greatest detail, Livent, the world’s fifth biggest producer and acknowledged technology leader, has executed their first meaningful investment outside their core resource in Argentina and processing facilities in North Carolina, China, India and the UK. Committing up to USD 5.5M with potential to convert to 19.9% ownership of E3 Metals, Livent looks to be making a low risk, potentially high reward foray to prove via a Joint Development Project that Direct Lithium Extraction/Ion-Exchange Process can commercially convert the lithium-rich Le Duc oilfield reservoir - 6.7M LCE inferred resource to date - to an initial 20,000 t battery quality lithium hydroxide production by 2023 and scale from there. In E21, “Alive-nt in Alberta: E3 LiTHiuM," LithiumIonRocks discuss with Chris Doornbos, CEO of E3 Metals the back story to this under-the-radar lithium developer, and expected milestones over the next 12-18 months and beyond on the road to potentially becoming a new, secure & sustainable supplier of what Volkswagen calls the “Irreplaceable Element for the Electric Era".

Welcome to Part Two of our yarn with Trys Reddick.A message from Trys, "A bit about me, so I was diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety, OCD and Agoraphobia when I was 13 and left school when I was 14, having Home Ed to finish off my GCSE's (I'm from the UK). Having Home Ed gave me an excuse not to go out and my Agoraphobia got worse, living as a recluse for 10 years. In my Mid 20's I had a holiday to Perth to see my Grandparents who were ill. While over here I had an awesome spiritual experience and felt Kwinana would one day be my home. I went back to the UK after 2 months and started a journey of recovery. After 5 years I got the opportunity to come over on a 2 year student visa to study for a Diploma in Community Services and on completion of that I worked in Employment Services. I stayed in the industry 5 years and then left and have been training Mental Health First Aid ever since. I currently live in Kwinana, 5 mins away from where my Grandparents live.My passion is about talking about mental health especially for guys. 75% of suicides are male and part of that is that we don't talk about how we're travelling. I have lost 7 people in my life, all men. I think it's important we reach out to people and get them to talk.I run my own MHFA Training business now full time, I also film YouTube videos and just getting started again with podcasts. Last year I co-founded the Kwinana Alliance against Depression and also funded and co-founded the Songs of Hope project. The project was a collaboration between myself and Foundation to Wellness and we took 10 singer / songwriters with lived experience of mental illness and supported them to write their own song around the theme of hope.

Considering Western Canada's continued dependence on crude and semi-processed resource exports, it could be argued that Albertans ought to find more sustainable and profitable ways to process their natural resource wealth. The speaker will briefly consider regional development challenges in Western Canada before turning to Western Australia, a booming resource-based economy that shares much in common with Alberta. This presentation will explain how the Kwinana industrial complex on Cockburn Sound has been in operation for nearly 60 years. Initially based on an Anglo Iranian oil refinery which came on stream in 1955, Kwinana has become a large and densely-interconnected industrial zone with the largest harbour on Australia's Indian Ocean coastline. Just 30 km south of Perth, it features a wide range of large-scale resource-processing refineries and processing plants (oil, gas, nickel, alumina, titanium dioxide, chemicals, water and electrical power generation). The speaker will discuss the Kwinana success story in light of some relatively new theories of industrial ecology and symbiosis. This alternate explanatory framework has exciting implications in an age in which sustainability objectives are becoming increasingly important in the planning of industrial districts, particularly to Western Canada. It briefly considers the potential for industrial symbiosis on the prairies in projects as large and complex as “Alberta's Industrial Heartland” (Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan and associated municipalities) and as small as Lethbridge's industrial park. Speaker: Ian MacLachlen Ian was born and raised in Montreal and obtained his B.A. and M.A. from Carleton University in Ottawa. He completed his doctorate at the University of Toronto in 1990. Ian has taught in geography departments at University of Toronto at Mississauga (1985-86), University of Windsor (1986-88), and Carleton (1988-89) before joining the Department of Geography at the University of Lethbridge in 1989. In 1991, Ian taught International Studies on a faculty exchange with Hokkai Gakuen University, Sapporo, Japan. He was a Research Associate at the Instituto de Geografía, Universidad Autónoma de México during study leave, 1995-1996. In 2003-04, he was a Visiting Scholar at the Centre of Canadian Studies at the University of Edinburgh. On Ian's most recent sturdy leave, he was at the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Western Australia in Perth. Ian's last presentation to SACPA was entitled “Lethbridge's Beef Bonanza” on February 14, 2002.
