Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Selby

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO, Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/nickel-market-shows-signs-of-strength-after-period-of-volatility-7156Recording date: 17th June, 2025Canada Nickel Company has successfully upsized its brokered private placement from C$8 million to C$11 million, pricing units at $0.85 with half-warrants exercisable at $1.20. CEO Mark Selby attributed the strong institutional investor interest to the strategic value of the company's flagship Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project, despite ongoing market volatility from shorting activity affecting the broader sector.The Crawford project represents a substantial $2.5 billion development opportunity, with financing structured to minimize dilutive equity requirements. The comprehensive funding package includes $1.5 billion in debt financing, with Export Development Canada serving as mandated lead arranger, and $600 million in government tax credits covering 60% of equity requirements. Samsung SDI holds an option to acquire 10% of the project for $100 million US, while multiple government funding mechanisms provide additional support.Beyond Crawford, Canada Nickel continues expanding across the Timmins district, with Mann West delivering over one billion tons of initial resource containing two million tons of nickel. The company plans to publish nine separate resources by year-end, targeting development of what could become the world's largest nickel sulfide district. Selby emphasized the scalability potential: "Being able to take what we build at Crawford and simply cut and paste it four or five times."The company's accelerated development timeline significantly outpaces industry standards, targeting federal permit approval within six years of the fifth drill hole and production by 2027-2028, compared to typical 17-25 year development cycles. This acceleration benefits from favorable infrastructure conditions and supportive local communities.Selby presented a contrarian outlook on Indonesian market dynamics, suggesting the dominant producer will transition from market disruptor to price supporter, acting as "OPEC of nickel" through production controls. Recent ore price strength in Southeast Asia supports this thesis, potentially catalyzing broader sector rerating as supply discipline takes effect across global nickel markets.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-crawford-project-advances-with-feed-completion-eyes-2025-construction-6791Recording date: 13th May 2025Canada Nickel Corporation (TSX: CNC) presents a compelling investment opportunity as it advances North America's most promising nickel project in the face of unprecedented government support and institutional capital returning to the mining sector. CEO Mark Selby's leadership has positioned the company to capitalize on what he describes as "the world's largest nickel sulfide district" in Timmins, Ontario, with the flagship Crawford project now approaching a construction decision after completing its FEED study and progressing through permitting.The company's innovative financing strategy has set it apart during challenging capital markets, executing its fourth successful bridge financing arrangement to avoid dilutive equity raises while maintaining project momentum. Recent financing totaling $39-40 million, including a groundbreaking partnership with TTN First Nation, demonstrates management's ability to access capital through non-traditional channels. This approach recognizes the fundamental shift in mining finance, where actively managed funds have "shrunk very dramatically over the last 15 years" and become concentrated in gold, copper, and silver.Political tailwinds have never been stronger for critical mineral projects in North America. The Trump administration's supply chain security focus, combined with Canada's new government under Carney promising to accelerate critical mineral development, creates multiple funding pathways for projects like Crawford. The Canadian government has established numerous funding programs worth billions, though deployment has been slow until now. With both governments prioritizing critical mineral security and upcoming USMCA renegotiations, Canada Nickel is positioned to benefit from what Selby describes as "monster bold steps forward" in government support.Unlike many nickel companies dependent solely on the EV market, Canada Nickel has strategically designed its operations for market flexibility. The company can direct 100% of production to the stainless steel and alloy markets, which continue to show strong growth (China's 300 series stainless production up 12% year-over-year), while maintaining optionality for EV sales through its Samsung SDI offtake agreement. This diversification provides crucial revenue stability as some automotive manufacturers, including Honda, reassess their EV timelines.Perhaps most significantly for near-term share price performance, generalist institutional investors are returning to mining after a decade-long absence. Selby reports that recent conferences included multiple meetings with generalist funds, representing a fundamental shift from resource-only investors. These funds see relative value in a sector trading at "5 and 10% of NPV" compared to broader markets at high multiples. When generalist capital moves from "0.05% of assets to 0.1% to 0.25%," it creates what Selby describes as "a tidal wave of capital."The company has outlined a comprehensive $3 billion funding package with multiple committed sources including $500 million from Export Development Canada, $600 million in refundable tax credits, $100 million from Samsung, and additional potential funding from European agencies and Canadian government programs. With permitting on track for year-end completion and detailed engineering advancing, Canada Nickel is positioned to make its final investment decision and benefit from first-mover advantage in one of the world's most promising nickel districts.For investors, Canada Nickel represents exposure to critical mineral supply chain security, innovative financing structures, and the convergence of government support with returning institutional interest—all while maintaining operational flexibility that provides downside protection in volatile markets.—View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Millions of snooker fans in China witnessed history as 28-year-old Zhao Xintong became the first Chinese player, as well as the first Asian, to win the World Snooker Championship final.数以百万计的中国斯诺克迷共同见证了历史——28岁的赵心童成为首位赢得斯诺克世锦赛冠军的中国选手，也是首位获得这一殊荣的亚洲选手。Zhao, hailed as "a new superstar", triumphed over Welsh player Mark Williams, a three-time champion, to win the trophy in the final in Sheffield, United Kingdom, with an 18-12 victory on Monday.周一，在英国谢菲尔德举行的决赛中，被誉为“新星”的赵心童以18比12战胜三届世界冠军威尔士选手马克·威廉姆斯，成功捧起奖杯。Zhao is the youngest world champion since Shaun Murphy, who won in 2005 at the age of 22.赵心童是继2005年22岁的肖恩·墨菲之后最年轻的世界冠军。Overwhelmed by his achievement, Zhao, draped in a Chinese flag, said: "I can't believe what I've done. It's like a dream. I was so nervous tonight—Mark is still a top player and put me under so much pressure. He's the best. This is a very special moment for me, for Chinese snooker, for everyone."赵心童身披五星红旗，激动地表示：“我简直不敢相信自己取得了这样的成就。这就像一场梦。今晚我非常紧张——马克仍然是世界顶尖球员，他给了我很大的压力。他是最棒的。这对我、对中国斯诺克、对每个人来说都是一个非常特别的时刻。”The victory ignited an outpouring of jubilation across social media, with fans celebrating the long-awaited breakthrough, including one netizen who said, "Chinese snooker has found its worthy successor." Fans also said Zhao's historic achievement will inspire future generations of young Chinese players.这场胜利在社交媒体上引发了热烈的欢呼，球迷们纷纷庆祝这一期待已久的突破，一位网友写道：“中国斯诺克终于找到了当之无愧的接班人。” 球迷们还表示，赵心童的历史性成就将激励中国未来几代年轻球员。Zhao's success fulfilled a dream that had eluded his compatriot trailblazer Ding Junhui, who narrowly missed winning the title in 2016. That year, Ding became the first Asian player to reach the World Championship final, but he fell short against Mark Selby from the UK.赵心童的成功实现了同胞丁俊晖的梦想，后者在2016年与冠军失之交臂。那一年，丁俊晖成为首位打入世锦赛决赛的亚洲选手，但最终不敌英国选手马克·塞尔比。The sport's popularity in China has grown exponentially over the past two decades, helped by the success of Ding, who served as an inspiration for Zhao.过去二十年，丁俊晖的成功也推动了斯诺克在中国的普及度呈指数级增长，而丁俊晖也成为赵心童的榜样。Ding congratulated Zhao on Sina Weibo with a poignant post:"It brings me such joy to see that the threshold I once struggled to break through has now become a runway for others—and today, someone finally sprinted all the way to the finish line," Ding said.丁俊晖在新浪微博上发文祝贺赵心童：“看到自己曾经奋力突破的门槛，如今已成为他人的跑道，我感到无比欣慰——今天，终于有人一路冲刺到了终点线。” 丁俊晖说道。"This glorious moment is the ultimate reward for Chinese snooker fans who've steadfastly supported us and waited for this day," he added. "Zhao's victory isn't just his own—it's the realization of a shared dream that generations of Chinese players have worked toward. I'm thrilled for him, and proud to witness the rise of China's power on this stage."“这一荣耀时刻，是对一直以来支持我们、期盼这一天的中国斯诺克球迷的终极褒奖。” 他补充道。“赵心童的胜利不仅仅是他自己的，更是一代又一代中国球员共同梦想的实现。我为他感到激动，也为见证中国力量在这个舞台上的崛起而感到自豪。”Zhao dominated Sunday's first two sessions at 11-6 and improved his advantage to 17-8 after the third session on Monday.周日，赵心童以11比6的战绩在前两局占据主导地位，并在周一第三局结束后将比分扩大到17比8。With Zhao just one frame away from making history, the 50-year-old Williams launched a strong comeback, taking four frames in a row at the start of the final session.就在赵心童距离创造历史仅差一局之际，50岁的威廉姆斯强势反击，在最后一阶段开局连赢四局。But the three-time world champion couldn't hold off Zhao any further, as the Chinese player wrapped up the contest by winning the 30th frame with a break of 87.但这位三届世界冠军再也无法阻挡赵心童，这位中国选手在第30局以一杆87分的成绩锁定胜局。Williams offered high praise for Zhao.威廉姆斯对赵心童给予了高度评价。"I'm glad I'll be too old when he's dominating the game," Williams said. "I've got nothing but admiration for what he's done, coming through the qualifiers. ... There's a new superstar of the game."“我很高兴当他统治比赛时，我已经老了，”威廉姆斯说。“我对他从资格赛中脱颖而出的表现只有钦佩……他是一位新的超级巨星。”Zhao will start next season at No 11 in the world rankings.赵心童下赛季的世界排名将位居第11位。He has joined nine other Chinese players in the world's top 32, with England the only nation with more players ranked in the top echelon.他已经与其他9位中国球员一起进入世界前32名，仅次于拥有更多高排位选手的英格兰。triumph/ˈtraɪʌmf/v.获胜；战胜outpouring/ˈaʊtpɔːrɪŋ/n.（情感、反应等的）迸发，倾泻compatriot/kəmˈpætriət/n.同胞trailblazer/ˈtreɪlˌbleɪzər/n.先驱者；开拓者echelon/ˈeʃəlɑːn/n.等级，阶层

China's Zhao Xintong became the first Asian player to win the World Snooker Championship after beating veteran Mark Williams 18-12 on Monday.中国选手赵心童周一以18-12力克名将马克·威廉姆斯，成为首位问鼎斯诺克世界锦标赛的亚洲选手。"I can't believe it. It's like a dream," said Zhao, who served out a 20-month ban for breaching betting regulations last September and earned his place at the snooker worlds by winning four qualifiers as an amateur.“我简直不敢相信，这就像一场梦，”这位去年九月刚结束20个月涉赌禁赛期的球员说道。他以业余选手身份连赢四场资格赛，才获得本届世锦赛正赛入场券。The 28-year-old dominated Sunday's first two sessions at 11-6 and improved his advantage to 17-8 after the third session on Monday.28岁的赵心童在周日前两个阶段比赛中以11-6确立优势，周一第三阶段结束后将领先优势扩大至17-8。With Zhao only one frame away from making history, the 50-year-old Williams launched a strong fightback by taking four frames in a row at the start of the final session.当赵心童距离创造历史仅差一局胜利时，50岁的威廉姆斯在最后阶段发起绝地反击，连追四局。But the three-time world champion couldn't hold off Zhao further, as the Chinese wrapped the contest up by winning the 30th frame with a break of 87.但这位三届世锦赛冠军终究未能阻挡赵心童的脚步——中国小将在第30局以一杆87分锁定胜局，结束了比赛。Starting his first qualifying match on April 7, Zhao maintained his sensational form to win 111 frames across nine matches to become the world champion.自4月7日踏上首场资格赛以来，赵心童全程保持惊人状态，九场比赛共赢得111局，最终成为世界冠军。"What an opponent he is," said Williams. "I've got nothing but admiration for what he has done. "“他真是个不可思议的对手，”威廉姆斯赛后表示，“他的表现令人叹服。”Zhao will start the next season as the world No. 11, while there are nine more Chinese players in the world's top 32.新赛季开启时，赵心童的世界排名将跃升至第11位。目前世界前32强中另有9位中国选手。Ding Junhui was the first Asian to reach the final at the World Championship in 2016 before losing to Mark Selby.此前丁俊晖曾在2016年成为首位闯入斯诺克世锦赛决赛的亚洲选手，但最终不敌马克·塞尔比。World Snooker Championship斯诺克世界锦标赛veteran/'vet(ə)rən/n.老手；经验丰富的人fightback/'faɪt.bæk/n.回击；反击hold off阻挡；抗拒the world champion世界冠军

Tag 5 der Snooker-WM in Sheffield bot zwei Glanzleistungen von Ronnie O'Sullivan und Judd Trump sowie einen kämpferischen Mark Selby. Kathi Hartinger und Andreas Thies, der in Vertretung für Christian Oehmicke moderiert, schauen auf einen höchst abwechslungsreichen Tag 5 zurück, in dem früh am Tag Shaun Murphy mit einem 10-4 gegen Daniel Wells die zweite Runde erreichte. Beide Spieler spielten ihr bestes Snooker und Wells kann mit drei Century Breaks in vier gewonnenen Frames wohl auch zufrieden auf sein Debüt zurückschauen. Ronnie O'Sullivan war nur schwer in sein Match gegen Ali Carter hineingekommen. In der zweiten Session jedoch spielte er sein bestes Snooker ...Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen? Dann schaue auf www.kostenlos-hosten.de und informiere dich.

Die Tour Championship hat die ersten vier Matches erlebt, die exakt denen der Players Championship entsprachen. Über längere Distanzen waren dann die Ergebnisse zumindest leicht anders, sodass Kathi und Chris über vier ordentliche Duelle sprechen können. Barry Hawkins und Ding Junhui glänzten dabei, während Mark Selby und Xiao Guodong etwas mehr für ihre Siege kämpfen mussten. Die Niederlage von Wu Yize bedeutete gleichzeitig, dass alle gesetzten Spieler der Weltmeisterschaft feststehen. Heute und morgen werden in Manchester dann die Viertelfinals gespielt.

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-historic-20m-first-nations-investment-6434Recording date: 2nd March 2025Canada Nickel Company has successfully completed Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for its flagship Crawford Nickel Project, advancing engineering to approximately 30% completion. Despite a 5% increase in capital costs, the project has demonstrated improvements in Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR).In a strategic optimization move, the company modified its mine plan to prioritize the East Zone over the Main Zone. This decision reduces stripping requirements and truck fleet needs, which helps offset capital cost increases. CEO Mark Selby highlighted the company's efficient development approach, noting they've progressed from "fifth drill hole to feasibility study in just over four years," significantly faster than industry averages of 7-10 years.On the financing front, Canada Nickel has secured letters of intent for $500 million USD from Export Development Canada and $500 million CAD from another financial institution. The next step involves an independent engineering review to validate the company's work. Notably, Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds are showing substantial interest in the project as they seek to diversify their economies beyond oil.Beyond Crawford, the company aims to establish the Timmins area as a premier nickel district. Plans include publishing resources for six additional properties, bringing their total to nine resources in the district. Selby claims the total nickel resource is expected to exceed "the total endowment at Sudbury, which was the world's largest nickel sulfide district."Community partnerships represent another significant advancement, with Canada Nickel announcing construction projects to be delivered by First Nations communities through a business vehicle called Wabun. This approach demonstrates local support and strengthens the company's social license as it progresses through permitting.The company remains on track with its permitting timeline, currently in the final approval stage with the federal government. Approvals are expected by year-end, with provincial permits to follow. Canada Nickel is also exploring non-equity financing options, including royalties, to minimize shareholder dilution.The Crawford project is positioned to become "the Western world's largest nickel sulfide operation" with the flexibility to serve both EV battery and stainless steel markets. This strategic positioning comes at a time when Western economies are actively seeking to reduce dependence on Chinese-dominated supply chains for critical minerals, potentially creating significant long-term value for the company and its investors.View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

When he was 7 years old, a friend's father was in the entertainment business. Hanging out at rehearsals and on the tour buses sold Matt on the idea of being a musician, or at the very least, a drummer. All this lead to spending his high school years at Fort Hayes vocational school for music and Capital University Conservatory of Music for college studying under drum instructor Bob Breithaupt. The musical diversity in Columbus gave Matt the chance to play with many great players and learning many different styles – from Big Band (Vaughn Weister's Famous Jazz Orchestra) and Brazilian to Afro-Cuban and Fusion. All the while, he was doing his share of gigs with original rock bands and top 40 bands. Matt moved to Nashville in the summer of 1999. Working as a freelance drummer based in Nashville has taken him to all 50 states in the U.S. and most of Canada, as well as overseas to Europe, Asia, The Middle East and The Caribbean. As well as the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Matt has performed in great local venues like the Ryman Auditorium, Mercy Lounge, 3rd and Lindsley, The 5 Spot, The Sutler, The Basement, The Wildhorse Saloon, and many clubs on lower Broadway.  Matt has toured both regionally and nationally, with the Adam and Shannon Wright, Mark Selby, Eddy Raven, Billy Dean, Stephen Simmons, Three Lane, Whiskey Cash & Roses, Michelle Wright - (throughout Canada), Julie Roberts, and The Frontmen of Country which is Larry Stewart of Restless Heart, Richie McDonald of Lonestar, Tim Rushlow of Little Texas. From 2009 to 2017 Matt was the full time drummer for the band Savannah Jack. He played percussion on their first studio record in 2010 opposite Steve Ferrone on drums. For their second studio record in 2015, Matt was the drumset and percussion player in the studio. In the studio, Matt has had the pleasure of working with talented producers including Eric Fritsch, Teddy Morgan, Jim Reilley and Brent Maher. Artist he's recorded with in the studio have included Sheryl Crow, legendary songwriter Buzz Cason and actor Kevin Costner. In 2015, Matt started a podcast for drummers called "Working Drummer", an interview based podcast that maintains a focus on the drummer that makes a living at his or her craft.

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-advances-2b-crawford-project-with-construction-decision-set-by-2025-6249Recording date: 16th December 2024Canada Nickel Company (CNC) is advancing its Crawford Nickel Sulfide Project in Ontario's Timmins mining district toward a construction decision in 2025. The project is positioned to become the Western world's largest nickel sulfide operation, targeting the growing demand for battery metals in the electric vehicle sector.The company recently secured a landmark $20 million investment from Taykwa Tagamou Nation (TTN), a local First Nations group, through a convertible debenture - marking the largest First Nations investment in a Canadian mining project to date. This follows earlier strategic investments from major industry players including Anglo American, Agnico Eagle, and Samsung SDI, demonstrating strong market confidence in the project.Crawford's development has reached a crucial milestone with the filing of its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which has been accepted by the government. The project is now in a 365-day review period for permitting approval. The strong support from local communities and First Nations groups is expected to play a vital role in securing final approvals.The project benefits from its location in the established Timmins mining camp, with access to existing infrastructure including rail, highways, and low-cost hydroelectric power. This infrastructure advantage is expected to reduce capital requirements compared to more remote projects. The stable jurisdiction of Ontario adds another layer of security for investors.Canada Nickel's management team brings significant industry experience, including former executives from Inco, once the world's largest nickel producer. The team's track record includes successfully advancing the Dumont project from resource stage to construction readiness at RNC Minerals.The Crawford deposit's sulfide mineralization is particularly attractive for battery manufacturers, offering superior economics and environmental benefits compared to laterite deposits. This positions the project well within the growing electric vehicle supply chain, where Class 1 nickel from sulfide deposits is preferred for battery production.The company notes that Crawford represents a rare opportunity in the nickel sector, being the only large-scale project in Canada to file an environmental impact statement since 2019. This scarcity of new projects, combined with increasing demand for battery-grade nickel, creates a favorable market position for Canada Nickel.The project also holds additional exploration potential within the broader Timmins Nickel District, which the company believes could become the world's largest nickel sulfide resource. With strong strategic backing, experienced management, and advancing development milestones, Canada Nickel appears well-positioned to meet the growing demand for battery-grade nickel in North America.View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-secures-billion-funding-5990Recording date: 14th November 2024Canada Nickel (TSXV:CNC) is rapidly advancing the Crawford project toward becoming the Western world's largest nickel sulfide operation, with recent developments substantially de-risking both the project's funding and permitting pathway.The company has secured significant funding commitments toward the $2 billion project cost, including $500 million US from Export Development Canada (EDC) and another $500 million from a leading financial institution. Additionally, the project qualifies for approximately $600 million in Canadian government tax credits related to critical minerals and carbon capture storage.CEO Mark Selby outlines that of the total $2.5 billion funding requirement ($1.5B debt, $1B equity), the company has visibility on most of the debt package, with EDC's role as lead arranger crucial in attracting other government credit agencies and commercial banks. On the equity side, after accounting for tax credits and Samsung's $100 million commitment, the company only needs to secure approximately $300 million, with discussions ongoing with battery supply chain participants and private equity groups.The project's timeline is clearly defined, with several near-term catalysts:Environmental Impact Statement filing completion within daysFederal permitting decision expected by summer/fall 2025Construction decision targeted for fall 202530-month construction period to productionThe project economics are compelling, with an NPV of $2.5 billion US. The company expects to retain 60-70% ownership post-funding, representing significant potential value for shareholders. Recent exploration success has enhanced the project's potential, with high-grade discoveries at Bannockburn showing 4% nickel over 4 meters and 12 meters of 1.6%.The macro environment strongly supports the project's development. Critical minerals security has become a national security priority for both the US and Europe, with strong bipartisan support in the US regardless of administration changes. As Selby notes, "Critical minerals are really a national security issue for both the US and Europe. Those of us who are going to be inside the fence are going to benefit from whatever tariffs end up being placed on Chinese production."Beyond Crawford, the company controls multiple regional targets, with several showing potential to exceed Crawford's scale. An initial resource for the Reid property, which may be larger than Crawford, is expected before year-end. The company is also developing downstream processing opportunities, recently strengthened by key appointments including Julian Ovens, former Chief of Staff to senior ministers and executive at BHP and Rio Tinto.For investors, Canada Nickel offers exposure to World's largest western nickel sulfide project, strong government support and funding commitments, clear timeline to construction decision, multiple near-term catalysts, regional exploration upside, and strategic positioning in critical minerals space.With major milestones approaching and significant funding secured, Canada Nickel appears well-positioned to advance Crawford toward production while maintaining majority ownership for shareholders.View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

fWotD Episode 2701: 2023 World Snooker Championship Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 26 September 2024 is 2023 World Snooker Championship.The 2023 World Snooker Championship (officially the 2023 Cazoo World Snooker Championship) was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 15 April to 1 May 2023 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England, the 47th consecutive year that the World Snooker Championship was staged at the venue. The qualifying rounds took place from 3 to 12 April 2023 at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield. The 15th and final ranking tournament of the 2022–23 snooker season, it was organised by the World Snooker Tour and sponsored for the first time by car retailer Cazoo. It was broadcast in the United Kingdom by the BBC, in Europe by Eurosport, and elsewhere in the world by Matchroom Sport and other broadcasters. The total prize fund was £2,395,000, of which the winner received £500,000.Ronnie O'Sullivan was the defending champion, having defeated Judd Trump 18–13 in the 2022 final. He made a record 31st Crucible appearance, surpassing the 30 appearances by Steve Davis, and reached a record-extending 21st quarter-final—also becoming the first player to compete in 100 matches at the Crucible—but lost 10–13 to Belgian player Luca Brecel. Crucible debutants at the event were Fan Zhengyi, Jak Jones, Pang Junxu, Si Jiahui, and Wu Yize. Si, aged 20, became the first debutant to reach the semi-finals since Andy Hicks at the 1995 event and the youngest player to do so since O'Sullivan at the 1996 event. Brecel came from 5–14 behind in the semi-finals to defeat Si 17–15, the first time a player had won a match at the Crucible after trailing by nine frames. Brecel went on to defeat Mark Selby 18–15 in the final, winning his first world title, first Triple Crown title, and fourth ranking title. He became the sport's first world champion from mainland Europe.The event's main stage produced 90 century breaks. For the second time, after the 2008 event, two maximum breaks occurred at the main stage of the tournament: Kyren Wilson made a maximum in his first-round match against Ryan Day, and Selby became the first player to make a maximum in a World Championship final. O'Sullivan made both his 1,200th century in professional competition and his 200th Crucible century at the event. The qualifying rounds produced another 135 centuries, including a 115 break by Ng On-yee, the highest by a woman in the tournament's history.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:51 UTC on Thursday, 26 September 2024.For the full current version of the article, see 2023 World Snooker Championship on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-pioneering-nas-nickel-future-with-innovative-financing-and-esg-focus-5926Recording date: 21st September 2024Canada Nickel Company is making significant strides in advancing its Crawford nickel sulfide project, positioning itself as a potential key player in the North American nickel market. The company has recently secured substantial funding commitments and strategic partnerships, marking a crucial step towards realizing its ambitions in the Timmins nickel district of Ontario, Canada.CEO Mark Selby recently outlined the company's progress in securing a comprehensive financing package for the Crawford project. Canada Nickel has obtained commitments for nearly US$900 million in debt financing, including a US$500 million letter of intent from Export Development Canada (EDC) and a CAD$500 million commitment from another financial institution. EDC's involvement as the mandated lead arranger for a larger debt facility is particularly significant, potentially unlocking access to a total debt package of US$1.5 billion.On the equity side, Canada Nickel is targeting approximately US$1 billion in financing. A substantial portion of this is expected to come from Canadian government support in the form of refundable tax credits, amounting to over US$600 million. These credits are tied to critical minerals development and carbon capture and storage initiatives, aligning with Canada's strategic priorities in these sectors.The company has also secured a strategic partnership with Samsung, involving a US$100 million option agreement. This deal would grant Samsung 10% of the project in exchange for 30% of the offtake, demonstrating industry confidence in Crawford's potential.With these commitments in place, Canada Nickel is now focused on securing the remaining US$300-400 million in equity financing. The company is working with Scotiabank and Deutsche Bank to identify potential strategic partners or offtake agreements that could provide upfront funding.The significant government support for the Crawford project underscores the strategic importance of domestic nickel production in North America. As Selby noted, "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to take advantage of the large flows of government money that are coming into the space that allow you as a retail investor to get a bunch of free leverage from the government to be able to build a project that's going to last, in the case of Crawford, at least 40 years."The demand outlook for nickel remains strong, particularly from the electric vehicle and energy storage sectors. Selby emphasized that "the market needs 10 Crawfords to be able to satisfy that demand," highlighting the scale of the opportunity.For investors, Canada Nickel offers exposure to a strategic asset in a stable jurisdiction, backed by substantial government support and aligned with long-term market trends. The company's innovative financing approach, combining government incentives, debt facilities, and strategic investments, could serve as a model for future critical mineral projects. However, investors should be aware of potential risks, including execution challenges inherent in large-scale mining projects, short-term nickel price volatility, and the need to secure remaining equity financing.Canada Nickel is working towards a construction decision for the Crawford project by mid-2025, aiming to have the majority of its financing package in place by the end of the current year. As the global push for electrification and energy transition continues, projects like Crawford are likely to play an increasingly important role in securing supply chains for critical minerals, potentially offering significant long-term value for investors.View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-1st-resource-of-7-new-resources-all-by-q125-5708Recording date: 10th September 2024Canada Nickel Company is emerging as a significant player in the critical minerals sector, focusing on developing large-scale nickel projects in the Timmins district of Ontario. Led by CEO Mark Selby, the company is advancing its flagship Crawford nickel sulfide project while simultaneously exploring multiple targets across the region, aiming to establish what could become the world's largest nickel sulfide district.The company's strategy is built on several key pillars. First, it focuses on large-scale resources, with the Crawford project poised to become one of the largest nickel sulfide operations in the Western world. Canada Nickel has also identified seven other exploration targets, planning to publish resources for six of them by mid-next year, showcasing the district-wide potential. Second, the company employs innovative financing, having secured significant funding without heavily diluting existing shareholders. This includes a $500 million USD letter of interest from Export Development Canada, $600 million in refundable tax credits from the Canadian government, and a $100 million commitment from Samsung SDI. The company plans to bring in a project partner for an additional $300-400 million, further de-risking the project. Third, Canada Nickel maintains a strong ESG focus, positioning itself to meet the growing demand for "clean, green" nickel from automakers and battery manufacturers. Its projects in Timmins offer the potential for environmentally responsible nickel production, aligning with stringent ESG criteria. Fourth, the company benefits from substantial government support, with its projects closely aligning with Canada's critical minerals strategy, resulting in significant financial incentives and potential for streamlined permitting processes. Finally, despite being a low-grade deposit, the company argues for the economic viability of its projects due to operational efficiencies, processing advantages, and existing infrastructure in the Timmins region.Investors should note several key upcoming milestones for Canada Nickel. The company plans to publish six additional resources by mid-next year, significantly expanding its nickel inventory. Within the next year, Canada Nickel expects to receive key permits for the Crawford project, a crucial step towards development. The company is also working on finalizing its debt package and securing a project-level equity partner, which will further solidify its financial position. Perhaps most importantly, a potential final investment decision on Crawford is anticipated within the next 12-18 months, marking a pivotal moment in the company's progression from explorer to producer. These milestones collectively represent significant potential catalysts for the company's valuation and investor interest.The investment thesis for Canada Nickel is underpinned by the growing global demand for nickel in electric vehicle batteries and energy storage systems. As major automakers and governments push for secure, responsible sources of critical minerals, Canada Nickel's projects in a stable jurisdiction like Canada could command a premium.However, investors should also be aware of potential risks, including nickel market volatility, execution risks associated with developing multiple large-scale projects, and the reliance on effective implementation of processing technologies for low-grade ore.Overall, Canada Nickel represents a unique opportunity in the critical minerals space, offering exposure to the rapidly growing EV and battery storage markets, backed by tangible assets and strong government support. As the company progresses towards production and continues to expand its resource base, it may attract increased attention from both institutional investors and strategic industry partners. For investors looking to capitalize on the clean energy transition and critical minerals boom, Canada Nickel warrants serious consideration.View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-nickel-mega-district-opens-up-us-markets-5401Recording date: 17th July 2024Canada Nickel Company (TSX-V: CNC) is rapidly emerging as a key player in the global nickel market, strategically positioned to meet the growing demand for responsibly sourced battery materials. The company is advancing its flagship Crawford Nickel project while simultaneously unlocking the potential of the broader Timmins Nickel District in Ontario, Canada.The company recently announced a significant milestone with the release of its maiden resource estimate for the Deloro property, marking the first of seven additional resources expected by Q1 2025. This expansion strategy underscores Canada Nickel's vision to establish Timmins as a world-class nickel sulfide district, with a land package covering approximately ten times the geophysical footprint of Crawford.Crawford itself is already considered one of the world's largest undeveloped nickel sulfide deposits. The project is progressing through Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), optimizing its development plan and preparing for long-lead equipment orders. Permitting is advancing, with federal approvals anticipated by mid-2025, aligning with the company's target for a construction decision.Recent market dynamics have created a favorable backdrop for Canada Nickel's projects. BHP's decision to shut down its Western Australia nickel operations until at least 2027 has significant implications for global supply. Combined with geopolitical constraints on Russian and Chinese production, this leaves a substantial gap in the nickel sulfide market that Crawford and Canada Nickel's other projects are well-positioned to fill.The company is pursuing an innovative financing strategy to minimize dilution at the parent company level while securing necessary capital. This approach includes targeting project-level equity, leveraging Canadian government incentives for critical minerals and carbon capture, and exploring strategic partnerships. CEO Selby emphasizes the unique opportunity presented by current market conditions and government support for critical minerals development.Canada Nickel's focus on producing "clean, green nickel" aligns with growing demands for environmentally responsible mining practices. The company's ultramafic deposits have the added benefit of natural carbon sequestration properties, potentially offering a significant competitive advantage in the evolving battery supply chain.Investors should be aware of several potential catalysts over the next 12-18 months, including additional resource estimates from regional properties, advancement of Crawford engineering, progress on permitting milestones, and potential announcements related to project financing and strategic partnerships.While challenges remain in terms of project execution and market volatility, Canada Nickel's strategic approach to developing a world-class nickel district in a stable jurisdiction creates a compelling value proposition. As the electric vehicle revolution drives demand for battery materials, the company's focus on responsible nickel production could prove increasingly attractive to both investors and end-users.For investors considering exposure to the critical minerals sector, Canada Nickel offers a unique opportunity to participate in the development of a potentially transformative nickel supply source. However, as with any pre-production mining company, thorough due diligence is essential, and investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance when evaluating an investment in Canada Nickel.—View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
