On this episode, we're going deep into the forest with Michael Farrell, Co-Founder of The Forest Farmers.  Michael and his team are managing over 10,000 acres of forest in New York and Vermont to produce what they believe to be the most regenerative sweetener on the planet.

This interview is with Jared Coon of Résonance Vineyard. In this interview, Jared speaks about transitioning from chemical engineering to wine studies at Washington State University after watching A Good Year with Russell Crowe. After his initial interest in the science and chemistry behind winemaking, a New Zealand Syrah in 2010 opened his eyes to a passion in wine itself.During school, Jared spent a semester abroad at Lincoln University, where he saw a more complete “grape to bottle” experience of winemaking. His first wine job after college was at 12th & Maple in Dundee, after which he returned to Australia for a harvest in the southern hemisphere.After an additional harvest in California, he set his sights on New Zealand. Here, he worked at two different wineries, extending his working visa to stay for several years, and meeting his future wife in the process. Once again, he added more hands-on experience to his rapidly increasing wine knowledge.In 2019, Jared and his wife moved back to the States to work in Oregon wineries and start a family. During this time, he worked for Willamette Cross Flow, Jackson Family Wines, Failla Oregon, and Yamhill Valley Vineyards before eventually finding a position at Résonance, where he currently works.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Résonance in Carlton on July 10, 2025.

In this company update, Kiran Patanker, President and CEO of Maple Gold Mines (TSX-V: MGM - OTCQB: MGMLF - FSE: M3G) joins us to recap Maple Gold's recently completed and fully released 12,000‑meter drill program at the Douay Project in Quebec. This was an upsized campaign, from 10,000 to 12,000 meters, targeting growth beyond the current 3Moz gold resource. Key discussion points: Strategy & Goals: Expanding and upgrading the Douay resource through down‑plunge extensions and targeted step‑outs in zones like Nika and 531. Standout Results: • Nika Zone - 2.1 g/t Au over 108m, including multiple high‑grade intercepts. • 531 Zone - 15m @ 4.9 g/t Au, 11.4m @ 3.7 g/t Au, and more significant depth extensions. Efficient Execution: Delivered at ~$300/m all‑in cost vs. $400 budgeted, covering six zones across 21 holes. Next Steps: Upcoming updated Mineral Resource Estimate, plans for follow‑up drilling in high‑grade zones, and advancing exploration across the 500 km² land package. Maple Gold aims to grow its 3Moz resource toward 5Moz by combining open‑pit optimization with new bulk‑tonnage underground potential.   Please email me your follow up questions for Kiran.

Interview with Kiran Patankar, President & CEO of Maple Gold MinesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/maple-gold-mines-tsxvmgm-turnaround-100-ownership-46-leaner-and-agnico-at-its-side-7230Recording date: 18th July 2025Maple Gold Mines (TSXV: MGM) has emerged as a compelling exploration story in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt following the successful completion of its most substantial drilling program in nearly two years. The company's 2025 winter drilling campaign at its flagship Douay Gold Project delivered exceptional results that validate management's strategy to build a multi-million ounce gold district.The 12,240-meter program achieved a remarkable 100% success rate, with gold mineralization intersected in all 21 holes while coming in under budget at $300 per meter versus $400 budgeted. Standout results included 4.87 g/t gold over 15 meters in the 531 Zone and 2.21 g/t gold over 31 meters in the Nika Zone, representing significant step-outs that extend mineralization 200-600 meters below current resource pit shells.President and CEO Kiran Patankar emphasized the systematic approach: "When you have consistency, when you hit gold in every hole, when you are doing bolder stepouts... having 100% success rate while executing properly, being under budget, having a great cost saving and safety performance, all that stuff is important when you have a major partner."Maple Gold currently controls over 3 million ounces of gold resources at Douay, positioning it among fewer than 20 companies that fully own multi-million ounce projects in Canada. The company is targeting expansion to 5 million ounces through continued exploration, with both high-grade zones remaining open in multiple directions.The development strategy balances scale with economics, envisioning an initial 100,000-150,000 ounce annual operation that leverages current gold prices above $3,300 per ounce. Following restructuring to 100% ownership, Maple Gold maintains strategic partnership benefits with Agnico Eagle while gaining operational control for more efficient capital deployment. With a resource update planned by year-end 2025 and potential preliminary economic assessment by early 2026, the company is well-positioned to advance toward development in Quebec's premier mining jurisdiction.View Maple Gold Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/maple-gold-mines-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This week we're talking about US Maple. Which is a bit like saying we're talking about having your teeth drilled without anaesthetic. The Chicago quartet spent twelve years making music that deliberately disappointed every expectation you might have about rock music. They took guitars, drums, and vocals and somehow made them sound like they were arguing with each other in a language nobody understood. It was brilliant. It was infuriating. It was absolutely necessary. This is the final part of our Anti Rock trilogy, where we've been exploring bands that knew the rules of rock music inside out and chose to break every single one of them. US Maple didn't just break the rules though. They took the rulebook, fed it through a modified guitar with quarter tone frets, and sang over it like a demented lounge singer having a breakdown. We get into their impossible discography, their custom instruments that were designed to sound worse, their legendary tour with Pavement where they got pelted with rubbish nightly, and that infamous Oklahoma City incident involving Xanax and a cockroach. We also try to answer the eternal question: why would anyone voluntarily listen to this? Fair warning: this episode might make you feel slightly seasick. That's entirely by design.
