Volta Metals CEO Karem Usenmez joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has announced the initial sampling results from the company's recently acquired ZigZag Property, located in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Northwest Ontario. Situated within the Caribou Greenstone Belt, the under explored ZigZag property benefits from its location near two significant crustal structural trends known to host lithium pegmatite swarms, including the Falcon West and Aubury Pegmatite systems. Following the acquisition of the ZigZag Property, Volta Metals promptly collected 21 samples from the Dempster East pegmatite zone, located approximately 7 kilometers west of the company's Falcon West pegmatite swarm. Assays from these samples confirmed the presence of exceptionally high-grade mineralization, including lithium, tantalum, cesium, rubidium, and gallium. These results validate the exploration potential of the ZigZag Property and its significance within the broader Thunder Bay Mining District. Volta Metals has outlined the next steps in its exploration strategy including stripping and prospecting to expose additional mineralized zones. The company will also detail mapping and structural analysis to better understand the geology and distribution of the pegmatites. The team also plans to conducting geophysical surveys to identify deeper or hidden mineralization targets. The ZigZag Property's proximity to Lake Nipigon and the Caribou Greenstone Belt positions it within a highly prospective region for lithium and rare element discoveries. With a growing demand for critical minerals in the green energy transition, Usenmez expressed optimism about the property's potential to become a key contributor to Volta Metals' portfolio and to the broader supply chain of critical materials. #proactiveinvestors #voltametalsltd #cse #vlta #mining #lithium #citicalmetals #LithiumDiscovery #Gallium #ZigZagProperty #StrategicMetals #OntarioMining #Semiconductors #AIAdvancements #Exploration #ProactiveInvestors

Under Swainson's leadership the brook trout fishing has sprung back to life. How did he do it and what has he learned that will help us manage and catch more and bigger trout wherever they swim? Hold onto your hats — all this and more with Rob Swainson, aka Dr. Trout.

JP Gladu is one of Canada's visionary leaders in the national dialogue around Indigenous ownership in the economy. He has decades of experience bringing Indigenous communities together with industry and governments in pursuit of their economic sovereignty. He joins host Edward Greenspon to talk about the rise of Indigenous business, getting the government to say 'yes', and overcoming fear and ignorance of Indigenous ownership.

In 1936, long before the discovery of the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows, the Royal Ontario Museum made a sensational acquisition: the contents of a Viking grave that prospector Eddy Dodd said he had found on his mining claim east of Lake Nipigon. The relics remained on display for two decades, challenging understandings of when and where Europeans first reached the Americas. In 1956 the discovery was exposed as an unquestionable hoax, tarnishing the reputation of the museum director, Charles Trick Currelly, who had acquired the relics and insisted on their authenticity. In Beardmore: The Viking Hoax That Rewrote History (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2018), Dr. Douglas Hunter reconstructs the notorious hoax and its many players. Beardmore unfolds like a detective story as the author sifts through the voluminous evidence and follows the efforts of two unlikely debunkers, high-school teacher Teddy Elliott and government geologist T.L. Tanton, who find themselves up against Currelly and his scholarly allies. Along the way, the controversy draws in a who's who of international figures in archaeology, Scandinavian studies, and the museum world, including anthropologist Edmund Carpenter, whose mid-1950s crusade against the find's authenticity finally convinced scholars and curators that the grave was a fraud. Shedding light on museum practices and the state of the historical and archaeological professions in the mid-twentieth century, Beardmore offers an unparalleled view inside a major museum scandal to show how power can be exercised across professional networks and hamper efforts to arrive at the truth. Ryan Tripp (Ph.D., History) is currently an adjunct in History at Los Medanos Community College and Southern New Hampshire University. Learn more about your ad choices.

RC and crew talk a bit about sites that they’ll be visiting on their “Southwest Experience” tour out of Sedona, which leads to some reminiscing about prior trips and a retreat that RC attended in Colorado’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains above the San Luis Valley. Getting back to the “same sediment”, we are reminded of the link between the micro/macro evidence that can assist with the identification of potential impact sites into the ice sheets. Following the path of waterflows on various maps from the Lake Nipigon basin down thru Lake Superior and the massive spillway channels of Minnesota and Wisconsin, we consider the creation of the mass of meltwater-derived features while attempting to grasp the scale of the events that ultimately encompassed the entire planet during the terminal Ice Age catastrophes.   CBD RECOMMENDED - Listen to Randall’s experience with “CBD from the gods” after the mid-break at 48:47.

RC's background image of massive glacial erratic "Okotoks" spurs discussion of methods for moving megaliths. Then carrying on from Ep032, we look at Lac St-Jean as a potential impact site with the Saguenay River fjord as an outflow channel, linked to evidence from YDB layers at PA and NJ Clovis sites, that contain spherules and osmium traceable to lithologies present in Quebecia. Similar features are present at another proposed impact site at Lake Nipigon, with massive outflow channels to the south, which leads to discussion of the erosion across the Colorado Plateau and thru the Grand Canyon. Switching back to studies from the Channel Islands, the question of "where are all the human remains" opens again the Anzick One mystery...   Support Randall Carlson's efforts to discover and share pivotal paradigm-shifting information!

RC and crew look at Lac Saint-Jean as a potential impact site, with comparisons to Lake Nipigon. Several other Patreon contributors' questions and comments are addressed, but Randall dives deep on one in particular that sees the difficulty in sourcing the heat/energy required to shift out of an Ice Age. Quoting extensively from published mid-70's papers, he confirms that this "Energy Paradox" has not yet been definitively explained.   Support Randall Carlson's efforts to discover and share pivotal paradigm-shifting information!

In 1936, long before the discovery of the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows, the Royal Ontario Museum made a sensational acquisition: the contents of a Viking grave that prospector Eddy Dodd said he had found on his mining claim east of Lake Nipigon. The relics remained on display for two decades, challenging understandings of when and where Europeans first reached the Americas. In 1956 the discovery was exposed as an unquestionable hoax, tarnishing the reputation of the museum director, Charles Trick Currelly, who had acquired the relics and insisted on their authenticity. In Beardmore: The Viking Hoax That Rewrote History (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2018), Dr. Douglas Hunter reconstructs the notorious hoax and its many players. Beardmore unfolds like a detective story as the author sifts through the voluminous evidence and follows the efforts of two unlikely debunkers, high-school teacher Teddy Elliott and government geologist T.L. Tanton, who find themselves up against Currelly and his scholarly allies. Along the way, the controversy draws in a who’s who of international figures in archaeology, Scandinavian studies, and the museum world, including anthropologist Edmund Carpenter, whose mid-1950s crusade against the find’s authenticity finally convinced scholars and curators that the grave was a fraud. Shedding light on museum practices and the state of the historical and archaeological professions in the mid-twentieth century, Beardmore offers an unparalleled view inside a major museum scandal to show how power can be exercised across professional networks and hamper efforts to arrive at the truth.
