Interview with Stephen Hanson, President & CEO of Surface Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/acme-lithium-acme-despatches-from-the-lithium-front-line-3054Recording date: 14th July 2025Surface Metals (CSE:SUR), formerly Acme Lithium, has successfully executed a strategic transformation that positions the company for value creation across two critical commodity sectors. Under CEO Stephen Hanson's leadership, the company has pivoted from pure lithium exploration to gold development while maintaining its valuable lithium asset foundation.The strategic shift emerged from pragmatic market realities as lithium prices declined and EV demand slowed over the past 18 months. Rather than abandoning the long-term energy transition thesis, Hanson explained the rationale: "As a board and a management team we started to evaluate our assets and say listen we work for the shareholders. Creating shareholder value is my number one priority."The centerpiece of this transformation is the April 2025 acquisition of 90% of the Cimarron gold project in Nevada's renowned Walker Lane trend. Located just 14 miles from Kinross's Round Mountain mine, the property boasts impressive historical data from major companies including Newmont and Echo Bay. Historical intercepts include 26 meters of nearly 5 grams per ton gold, with surface samples reaching 120 grams per ton.The project benefits from Nevada's world-class mining jurisdiction and favorable geology, featuring a shallow epithermal system with mineralization extending to surface. This configuration offers significant cost advantages and exploration potential beyond the existing 50,000-ounce resource, with targets for expansion to over one million ounces.Surface Metals maintains its lithium portfolio as strategic foundation value, including a 300,000-ton lithium carbonate resource in Clayton Valley and successful partnerships like the Snow Lake Energy joint venture in Manitoba. With holding costs of only tens of thousands annually, the company can maintain these assets through market cycles.Trading at approximately $5 million Canadian market cap, Surface Metals offers investors dual commodity exposure at an attractive entry point. The company plans drilling at Cimarron by early 2026, following systematic database modernization and permitting processes that typically require 90-120 days in Nevada's streamlined regulatory environment.View Surface Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/acme-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Initially, lithium was found beneficial in natural springs where the water was high in lithium, then it started being used in soda beverages noted for mood stabilization. Interestingly, lithium is found naturally in the environment and higher levels in drinking water correlate with improved mental health and longevity. Various studies suggest potential benefits of low-dose lithium for cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, metabolic, and cognitive health, while also addressing the risks associated with high dosages. The episode advises listeners to consider lithium supplementation for its potential health advantages and discusses practical ways to incorporate it into daily routines.01:09 A Journey Back to 1860s 02:56 The Rise of Soda and Lithium in Medicine06:27 Lithium: From Mood Stabilizer to Potential Supplement07:40 The Science Behind Lithium's Benefits12:00 Considering Lithium as a Supplement14:38 Practical Tips for Taking Lithium

They dive into the geopolitical and fiscal catalysts behind copper and rare earths—including Trump's new 50% tariff on imported copper and a $10B Department of Defense deal with MP Materials. Gerardo and Jody both stress the significance of guaranteed pricing and long-term offtake agreements to fund North America's critical mineral renaissance. Expect this to spark an arms race in strategic metal supply chains—with Canada likely to benefit.Market Takes - The discussion turns to specific metals and how they're reacting to macro shifts. Cesium, gallium, and tantalum—largely overlooked—are positioned as game-changers, especially with Patriot Battery Metals' Corvette deposit potentially hosting the highest concentration of these metals ever found in one location. Lithium stocks are rebounding hard after being crushed, and Jody makes the case that we've already seen the bottom. Gold is “only in the 4th inning,” silver just broke out above $37, and platinum group metals are seeing their biggest monthly moves in decades.Bizarro Banter - Gerardo calls silver the “mistress” and gold the “wife” in a riff about investor psychology. Jody compares Patriot's cesium potential to a uranium deposit in terms of value density and scarcity. They both emphasize the importance of reassaying historic drill core for overlooked metals—a move that could unlock entirely new asset classes. Talk turns to solar panels, energy storage, and EVs—arguing that Patriot's cesium could revolutionize the solar industry via perovskite tech. They wrap with thoughts on grid independence, battery tech, and how U.S.-Canada cooperation could trigger the next lithium boom.Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.

Dr. Nehls erklärt die vielseitigen gesundheitlichen Vorteile des essentiellen Spurenelements Lithium – von antiviralen Effekten über Alzheimer-Schutz bis hin zur Immunstärkung und möglichen sozialen Auswirkungen.

In der aktuellen Folge des Elektroauto-News-Podcast hatte ich die Gelegenheit, mit Michael Schmidt zu sprechen – einem der profiliertesten Rohstoffexperten Deutschlands. Als Senior Analyst der Deutschen Rohstoffagentur (DERA) innerhalb der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) beschäftigt er sich seit Jahren mit kritischen Rohstoffen wie Lithium. Unser Gespräch drehte sich um genau diesen Stoff – und warum Lithium für die Mobilitäts- und Energiewende unverzichtbar ist. Michael hat gleich zu Beginn klargestellt, dass Lithium nicht nur für Elektroautos gebraucht wird. „Wir reden nicht nur über E-Mobilität, sondern über eine ganzheitliche Energiewende. Ohne Lithium keine Batterien, ohne Batterien keine Speicherung von Wind- und Solarstrom – und ohne das keine Energiewende.“ Besonders spannend: Auch der rapide wachsende Energiebedarf von KI-Rechenzentren wird künftig massiv Speicherlösungen erfordern – mit Lithiumbatterien. Ein Thema, das im Gespräch immer wieder aufkam: der ökologische Fußabdruck von Lithium. Dabei wurde deutlich, dass nicht jede Quelle gleich belastend ist. „Faktenbasiert ist das nachhaltigste Produkt, was CO₂-Abdrücke abgeht, momentan das aus Chile – mit 5 Tonnen CO₂ pro produzierter Tonne Lithium. Aus China liegt man schnell beim vier- bis fünffachen.“ Der Unterschied liegt in der Fördermethode: Während in Chile Sonnenenergie zur Verdunstung genutzt wird, wird in China energieintensiv Gestein verarbeitet. Diese Unterschiede müssten laut Michael viel stärker kommuniziert werden – nicht zuletzt, um gegen die Emotionalisierung in der Debatte vorzugehen. Wir sprachen auch über die bizarre Entwicklung hin zu immer größeren E-SUVs. Michael brachte es trocken auf den Punkt: „Ein zweieinhalb Tonnen schwerer SUV mit 120-kWh-Batterie ist keine nachhaltige Mobilität. Das ist, als würde man vom Rot- auf Weißwein umsteigen – man trinkt trotzdem weiter Wein.“ Gerade hier sieht er eine große Chance für kleinere E-Autos aus China, die mit kompakteren LFP-Batterien und geringeren Produktionskosten punkten. Ein weiteres zentrales Thema: Europas Rolle im globalen Rohstoffwettlauf. Während China frühzeitig auf strategische Partnerschaften mit Förderländern wie Australien setzte und sich so große Teile der Lieferkette sicherte, hinkt Europa hinterher. Der „Critical Raw Materials Act“ der EU ist ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung, aber: „Wir haben 15 bis 16 Lithium-Projekte in Europa, aber keinen einzigen europäischen Eigner. Es fehlt an Investoren, an Genehmigungen, an Akzeptanz – und am politischen Willen.“ Die Ziele des EU-Gesetzes seien theoretisch erreichbar, aber es fehle an der konkreten Umsetzung. Schmidt plädiert für mehr Kooperation statt Konfrontation – etwa durch Rohstoffpartnerschaften mit Ländern wie Chile oder Kanada. Was mir besonders im Gedächtnis geblieben ist: Michaels Aufruf, Mobilität neu zu denken – über das Auto hinaus. Es geht nicht nur darum, den Verbrenner durch einen Stromer zu ersetzen, sondern um eine fundamentale Veränderung in unserem Denken und Handeln. „Was soll Mobilität sein? Von A nach B kommen, ohne nass zu werden. Nicht unbedingt ein 700-Kilometer-SUV.“ Ein starkes Gespräch mit vielen Impulsen – über Lieferketten, politische Rahmenbedingungen, Marktmechanismen und die Macht des Mindsets. „Wir brauchen einen regulatorischen Rahmen, der stark und stabil ist – damit Hersteller wie Verbraucher wissen, wohin die Reise geht.“ Dem ist wenig hinzuzufügen. Nun aber genug der Vorrede – hör selbst rein ins Gespräch mit Michael Schmidt.

The Salinas Grandes in northern Argentina is home to large deposits of lithium, a key mineral in the fight against climate change. But Indigenous leaders in the region say mining the mineral could harm their water supply. We hear how communities are pushing back against potential lithium extraction. And, how new methods of mining are being tested - ways of extracting lithium that aren't so damaging to the local environment.

Steve Grzanich has the business news of the day with the Wintrust Business Minute. Pure Lithium is moving to Chicago. The next-generation battery technology company will relocate its entire operation from Boston to Fulton Market. Its $46 million investment will enable the company to manufacture the first commercially viable lithium metal battery here in Illinois. […]

Ob Belgrad, Novi Sad oder Niš: Die Bilder, die uns in diesen Tagen aus Serbien erreichen, zeigen friedlichen Protest. Mit ihren Handys verwandeln Zehntausende die nächtlichen Straßen in ein Lichtermeer. Ihre Forderung: Recht und Gesetz sollen für alle Menschen in Serbien gelten - auch für diejenigen, die ganz oben im Staat stehen. Auslöser für die Massenproteste war der Einsturz eines Bahnhofsvordachs in Novi Sad Anfang November. 15 Menschen verloren dabei ihr Leben. Für die Studierenden, die seitdem demonstrieren, ist der Vorfall nicht einfach ein tragisches Unglück, sondern Folge unsachgemäßer Renovierungsarbeiten durch ein chinesisches Unternehmen. Sie kritisieren, dass die serbische Regierung zunächst versucht habe, das Unglück zu vertuschen und Verantwortung abzuweisen. "Korruption tötet", so der Slogan, der auf vielen Plakaten zu lesen ist.Florian Bieber ist Leiter des Zentrums für Südosteuropastudien an der Universität Graz. Er beobachtet die Situation in Serbien sehr genau: Es gehe den Studierenden nicht um einen Umsturz, wie Präsident Aleksandar Vučić behauptet, sondern um Transparenz und um Rechtsstaatlichkeit. "Das sind wirklich die großen Probleme, mit denen Serbien seit über einem Jahrzehnt zu kämpfen hat", sagt Bieber im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit".Längst gehen nicht mehr nur Studierende auf die Straße, sondern auch Anwälte, Ärzte und viele andere Berufsgruppen. Gerade erst haben sie den Rücktritt des serbischen Ministerpräsidenten Miloš Vučević erreicht. Doch der ist für Bieber "kein bedeutendes Schwergewicht in der serbischen Machtkonstellation", sondern eher eine Art Bauernopfer. Dennoch sieht er den Rücktritt als Indiz dafür, "dass sich das Regime im Moment bedroht fühlt".In der neuen Podcast-Folge erklärt der Professor für Geschichte und Politik Südosteuropas, wie das "System Vučić" funktioniert: Zwar liege die Macht formal beim Ministerpräsidenten, doch in der Praxis habe es Vučić geschafft, die wichtigen Institutionen des Landes zu übernehmen. Seine Macht gehe dabei nicht von der Verfassung aus, sondern von der Partei und seiner Person. "Er könnte theoretisch morgen als Präsident zurücktreten und weiterhin die gleiche Macht ausüben", sagt Bieber. Das passe nicht mit dem Status eines EU-Beitrittskandidaten, den Serbien seit zehn Jahren innehat, zusammen, kritisiert Bieber. "Serbien ist im letzten Jahrzehnt sehr viel weniger demokratisch geworden." Stattdessen beobachtet er "größere Missachtung von Menschenrechten und Rechtsstaatlichkeit". Deutschland und die EU müssten sich dagegen stellen - und ihre Prinzipien auch beim Aushandeln wirtschaftlicher Deals verfolgen. Ansonsten sieht Bieber die Gefahr, dass die EU ihre Sympathien bei vielen Menschen in Serbien verspielt.Im Sommer 2024 haben Serbien und die EU einen Lithium-Deal abgeschlossen. Dabei geht es um die Förderung von Lithium im serbischen Jadartal durch den Bergbaukonzern Rio Tinto. Serbien würde gerne die komplette Wertschöpfungskette vom Abbau des Lithiums bis hin zur Produktion von E-Autos im Land konzentrieren. Die EU will das Vorhaben fördern und beim Thema Lithium weniger abhängig von China werden. Für Bieber rutscht die EU jedoch in eine neue Abhängigkeit, der serbische Präsident Aleksandar Vučić ist für ihn "kein zuverlässiger Bündnispartner". Das Lithium-Abkommen "hat der Europäischen Union und Deutschland auf dem Balkan einen Riesen-Schaden zugefügt", konstatiert Bieber. Viele Menschen haben seiner Beobachtung zufolge inzwischen das Gefühl, dass die EU ihre Forderungen nach mehr Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit nicht wirklich unterstütze, sondern stattdessen ihre eigenen Interessen verfolge. "Viele Menschen sagen, die EU ist nicht anders als China, die wollen nur unsere Rohstoffe."Dass die EU auf höhere Umweltauflagen setzt als China, lässt der Südosteuropa-Experte übrigens nicht gelten. Denn für ihn fehlen angemessene Kontrollmechanismen. Schon jetzt würden in vielen Fällen, etwa beim Bau von Fabriken, selbst die serbischen Auflagen nicht eingehalten.

 In 2024 the Lithium market saw huge price drops related to oversupply, a slowing EV adoption rate globally, as well as macroeconomic headwinds. Is this a pause or a more structural challenge? What is the long-term demand picture? How does geopolitics fit within that? Does technological change threaten the outlook? And in such a volatile market, why is risk management essential? Our guest is Caspar Rawles, Chief Operating Officer at Benchmark, the Independent Price Reporting Agency for Critical Minerals, including Lithium,  which will soon be launching three Lithium futures contracts with the Intercontinental Exchange, ICE. What are those contracts and what do they mean for the sector?

From copper blue to the red tint of strontium, exotic elements were created as stars exploded into brilliant supernovas.

While the U.S., India, and countries in the Persian Gulf are all moving quickly to establish new critical mineral supply chains, the European Union is struggling to follow suit, particularly in Africa. The EU currently lacks a cohesive policy framework that would bolster mining companies, support partner countries, and encourage the development of a mineral processing sector that can lessen Europe's current dependence on China. To do this, the EU should follow China's model in Africa, where it paired extraction with the development of vital infrastructure, according to a new commentary from the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM). The authors, Poorva Karkare and Karim Karaki, join Eric & Géraud from Brussels to explain why the EU should strive for strategic complementarity rather than competition with China in Africa.

China's aviation regulator has banned uncertified power banks on domestic flights, citing urgent safety concerns over fires and other hazards linked to lithium batteries, State media reported on Wednesday.据官方媒体周三报道，中国航空监管机构以对锂电池相关火灾和其他危险的紧急安全担忧为由，禁止未经认证的充电宝乘坐国内航班。The Civil Aviation Administration of China told People's Daily that quality issues with lithium batteries in power banks have threatened aviation safety, prompting the move. The ban, which took effect on Saturday, applies to power banks without valid China Compulsory Certification — known as 3C — those with unclear 3C labels or those subject to product recalls.中国民用航空局告诉《人民日报》，移动电源锂电池的质量问题已经威胁到航空安全，促使采取了这一行动。该禁令于周六生效，适用于没有有效的中国强制认证（即3C）的电力银行，即3C标签不清楚或产品被召回的电力银行。The 3C certification is a mandatory safety and quality standard for products sold in China. For power banks, it ensures they do not pose risks of fire, electric shock or other hazards. The country began 3C certification for power banks on Aug 1, 2023, and sales of products without the certification have been prohibited since Aug 1 last year.3C认证是在中国销售的产品的强制性安全和质量标准。对于移动电源，它确保它们不会造成火灾、触电或其他危险。该国于2023年8月1日开始对移动电源进行3C认证，自去年8月1日起禁止销售未经认证的产品。The administration said the measure follows a surge in incidents globally involving fires and smoke from lithium batteries on aircraft, including 15 cases in China's aviation sector this year. In one incident on Jan 28, a fire broke out on an Air Busan flight due to a passenger's power bank, damaging the aircraft.美国政府表示，该措施是在全球范围内涉及飞机锂电池火灾和烟雾的事件激增之后采取的，其中包括今年中国航空业的15起案件。在1月28日的一起事件中，釜山航空的一架航班因一名乘客的移动电源发生火灾，导致飞机受损。Lithium batteries are prone to risks under external factors such as high temperatures, pressure and collisions, which can lead to internal short circuits and excessive heat. This can trigger thermal runaway in the battery, resulting in fires or explosions that are difficult to extinguish, the regulator said.美国政府表示，该措施是在全球范围内涉及飞机锂电池火灾和烟雾的事件激增之后采取的，其中包括今年中国航空业的15起案件。在1月28日的一起事件中，釜山航空的一架航班因一名乘客的移动电源发生火灾，导致飞机受损。A recent report from China's market regulation authority found that out of 149 batches of power banks inspected, 65 were substandard, the administration noted.政府指出，中国市场监管机构最近的一份报告发现，在检查的149批电力银行中，有65批不合格。A staff member at Beijing Capital International Airport told China Daily that passengers carrying power banks must now show 3C marks at security checks, and devices under recall will not be allowed through. Power banks under 100 watt-hours can be carried onboard, while those between 100 and 160 watt-hours require airline approval. Devices exceeding 160 watt-hours are prohibited.北京首都国际机场的一名工作人员告诉《中国日报》，携带电动银行的乘客现在必须在安检时出示3C标志，被召回的设备将不允许通过。100瓦时以下的移动电源可以携带登机，而100至160瓦时之间的移动电源需要航空公司的批准。禁止使用超过160瓦时的设备。Noncompliant power banks found during checks will be handled according to passengers' preferences, the administration said. Airports will provide areas for passengers to abandon or temporarily store their devices, along with mailing services for those who wish to send them home.政府表示，在检查过程中发现的不合规移动电源将根据乘客的喜好进行处理。机场将为乘客提供丢弃或临时存放设备的区域，并为希望将设备送回家的乘客提供邮寄服务。Power banks abandoned or left beyond storage deadlines will be destroyed or recycled after consultation with battery recovery companies, the administration said. Records will be maintained throughout storage, transfer and recycling to ensure traceability and prevent unauthorized devices from reentering the market.政府表示，在与电池回收公司协商后，废弃或超过储存期限的移动电源将被销毁或回收。记录将在整个储存、转移和回收过程中得到维护，以确保可追溯性，防止未经授权的设备重新进入市场。lithium batteriesn.锂电池traceabilityn.可追溯性

Lithium has long been used in psychiatry for numerous mental health issues. But with the emergence of lithium orotate and it's popularity in western culture the question is now "who should be using this mineral?" In this episode I discuss the history of lithium as a medication and it's emerging uses as a nutraceutical for mental health.    Mental Maps is brought to you by Arukah Well.

Lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) batteries could offer a rare combination in energy storage: high energy density at lower costs. They swap much of the expensive nickel for abundant, affordable manganese. But technical hurdles — like poor cycle life, voltage decay, and long formation time — kept them on the sidelines. Now GM says it's solved these challenges. In May, it announced plans to mass produce LMR batteries starting in 2028. In energy density, the new chemistry would land between the two major alternative chemistries in the U.S., NMC and LFP. So what does this new entrant mean for the U.S. battery market? In this episode, Shayle talks to Kurt Kelty, VP of battery, propulsion, and sustainability — and a 30-year battery industry veteran who led Tesla's battery development for over a decade. Shayle and Kurt cover topics like: What parts of the U.S. battery supply chain to on-shore or near-shore The tradeoffs between LFP, LMR, and high-nickel chemistries The roles that Kurt sees for all three in the market  Shifting production lines and supply chains from NMC to LMR Why LFP may still outcompete LMR in the stationary market Resources: General Motors: Why LMR batteries will change the outlook for the EV market AutomotiveDive: GM, LG Energy target commercializing manganese-rich batteries for EVs  WSJ: An Ex-Tesla Engineer Is Turning EVs Into Affordable Family Cars Catalyst: What happened at Northvolt?

Our Australia Materials Analyst Rahul Anand discusses why critical minerals may be the Achilles' heel of humanoids as demand significantly outpaces supply amid geopolitical uncertainties.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Rahul Anand: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Rahul Anand, Head of Morgan Stanley's Australia Materials Research team.Today, I'll dig deeper into one of the vital necessities for the development of robotics – critical minerals – and why they're so vital to be front of mind for the Western world today. It's Wednesday, June 25th at 8am in Sydney, Australia. Humanoid robots will soon become an integral part of our daily lives. A few weeks ago, you heard my colleagues Adam Jonas and Sheng Zhong discuss how humanoids are going to transform the economy and markets. Morgan Stanley Research expects this market to reach more than a billion units by 2050 and generate almost [$] 5 trillion in annual revenue. When we think about that market, and we think about what it could do for critical minerals demand, that could skyrocket. And the key areas of critical minerals demand would basically be focused on rare earths, lithium and graphite. Each one of these complex machines is going to require about a kilo of rare earths, 2 kgs of lithium, 6.5 kgs kilos of copper, 1.5 kgs of nickel, 3 kgs of graphite, and about 200 grams of cobalt. Importantly, this market from a cumulative standpoint by the year 2050, could be to the tune of about $800 billion U.S., which is staggering.And beyond that market size of $800 billion U.S., I think it's important to drill a bit deeper – because if we now consider how these markets are dominated currently, comes the China angle. And China currently dominates 88 percent of rare earth supply, 93 percent of graphite supply and 75 percent of refined lithium supply. China recently placed controls on seven heavy rare earths and permanent magnet exports in response to tariff announcements that were made by the U.S., and a comprehensive deal there is still awaited. It's very important that we have to think about diversification today, not just because these critical minerals are so heavily dominated by China. But more importantly, if we think about how the supply chain comes about, it's now taking circa 18 years to get a new mine online, and that's the statistic for the past five years of mines that came online. That number is up nearly 50 percent from last decade, and that's been driven basically by very long approval processes now in the Western world, alongside very long exploration times that are required to get some of these mines up and running. On top of that, when we think about the supply demand balance, by 2040 we're expecting that the NdPr, or the rare earth, market would be in a 26 percent deficit. Lithium could be in a deficit close to 80 percent. So, it's not just about supply security. It's also about how long it will take to bring these mines on. And on top of that, how big the amount of supply that's required is really going to be. I know when you think about 2040, it sounds very long dated, but it's important to understand that we have to act now. And in this humanoid piece of research that we have done as the global materials team, which was led by the Australian materials team, we basically have provided 34 global stocks to play this thematic in the rare earths, lithium and rare earth magnet space. It's also very important to remember and keep front of mind that as part of the London negotiations that happened between U.S. and China, no agreement was reached on critical military use rare earth magnets and exports. Now that's an important point because that's going to play as a key point of leverage in any future trade deal that comes about between the two countries. This remains an evolving situation, and this is something that we are going to continue monitoring and will bring you the latest on as time progresses.Look, thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review and share thoughts on the market with a friend or colleague today.

Trevor interviews Alicia Milne, CEO of Q2 Metals, at the Fast Markets Lithium Conference.

Six years ago, Simon Moores, CEO of Benchmark Minerals Intelligence shook the world in a now legendary testimony in front of the US Senate. Then, Simon predicted the exponential growth of batteries and the control that China was starting to exert of the supply chains.Fast forward today, we bring in, Caspar Rawles, Simon's trusted lieutenant, and COO of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence to assess how Simon's predictions panned out. What was prophetic and what never materialized. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, a London-based Price Reporting Agency (PRA) founded in 2014, specializes in lithium-ion battery and EV supply chains, offering IOSCO-accredited price assessments, supply-demand forecasts, ESG analytics, consultancy, global events, and policy influence.It focuses on critical minerals and recently expanded with Rho Motion, valued at $500M. Caspar talks about the growth of BMI, about the importance of its agreement with ICE, and how he sees the future.Laurent and Gerard conclude on Lithium and Rare Earths. Not really what you expect.

I was invited, thanks to the magnificent and only-ever-positive internet, to give a lecture to colleagues in Nigeria. I'm kidding, a little—the internet can be rough. Ask a comment section of a YouTube video! However, it is also a technology that has brought the world closer together. One of those less absurd corners of the internet is LinkedIn—it's like the world's most boring dad and his boss decided to invite you to a global-scale compliance educational module. “So exciting, it's mandatory!”I am giving the internet a hard time. Sometimes it's a special kind of magic. Like, for example, today. Imagine you are a progressive hospital system in Lagos, such as Gracehill Hospital. Yes, that is in Nigeria. It's a progressive country, compared to the rest of the continent, but some of that progress is recent, as in 2023.A new Mental Health law was recently enacted in Nigeria to replace the Lunacy Ordinance of 1958. The passage of the new law was a major leap from the old. It was received with excitement because the former law was not only outdated but failed to address core issues such as the promotion of mental health and the protection of the rights of the mentally ill.If you're looking to move your healthcare system into the future, you might want to consider finding speakers for your grand rounds. With Zoom, it's easy to host hundreds of people. On LinkedIn, you can see professionals posting about what they are up to. And, if you're bold, you can simply ask one of those folks to speak. Which is what happened to me, and how I found myself drafting a lecture on Bipolar Disorder for an audience of Nigerian (and global—many people, both professionals, patients, and family members attend these seminars!).Nigeria has an estimated 250 practicing psychiatrists for a population of over 220 million (WHO, 2023), amounting to roughly one psychiatrist per 880,000 people. I probably spoke to 1/4 of them yesterday.There are substantial barriers to mental health care in Nigeria—much if it financial. According to the World Bank, Nigeria's Gross National Income (GNI) per capita in 2023 was $2,460 USD. Fewer than 10% of Nigerians have health insurance. Those plans cost $250+ a year, but mental health parity doesn't exist, and thus those services are only covered under yet more expensive plans.To draw a direct comparison, Nigeria has 0.11 psychiatrists /100,000 population. This is similar to Kenya (0.2/100,000) but with 400% more money budgeted to address the care of the population. The US has 13/100,000 and spends about 6.2% of its health budget on mental health care.The question, globally, is how to do more for our patients with less harm and at lower cost. One interventional treatment is considered essential—and its ECT. The WHO's keep an “essential medicines” list! Nigeria has access to ECT. Lithium is also an essential medicine. TMS is not on that list, yet. Maybe, I posit, it should be?What follows in this podcast is the talk I gave. Thanks for reading— and listening.

America is sitting on a $2 trillion opportunity and no one's talking about it. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the recent U.S. discoveries of massive lithium and rare earth deposits that could reshape the global economy, restore American manufacturing, and end our reliance on foreign adversaries like China. Now that President Trump is back in office, his administration is taking aggressive steps to fast-track development and unleash America's mineral dominance. But will the bureaucrats, eco-activists, and foreign interests succeed in derailing this opportunity? This episode reveals the stakes and the path forward. Episode Highlights: Uncovered: Trillions of dollars in mineral deposits and the U.S. states poised to become richer than Dubai Why these mineral discoveries could spark a new era of American economic dominance How the Trump administration is cutting red tape and blocking China from controlling America's critical resources
