Since 1951, when Tibet was formally annexed into the People's Republic of China, Tibet has been a battleground between China's efforts to assert control and the Tibetan people's struggle to preserve their cultural and religious identity. This past August, Xi Jinping made a surprise visit to Tibet, his second since becoming China's top leader in 2012. Less than two months earlier, the Dalai Lama, now 90 years old, announced that his office, not China, would choose his successor when he passes. A few months before that, the Dalai Lama revealed in a memoir that he would reincarnate outside of China. The PRC insists that the next incarnation – the 15th Dalai Lama – will be born inside PRC territory and approved by the Chinese government. What are Beijing's interests in Tibet and how has Xi Jinping pursued them since coming to power? What is likely to occur after the Dalai Lama's passing? I'm delighted to have as my guest today Tendor Dorjee. Tendor is an adjunct assistant professor of political science at Columbia University, a senior researcher at the Tibet Action Institute, and the inaugural Stephanie G Neuman Fellow at the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies.

Interview with Chad Peters, President and CEO, Ridgeline MineralsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ridgeline-minerals-tsxvrdg-major-backed-explorer-kicks-off-11m-drilling-7014Recording date: 9th September 2025Ridgeline Minerals Corporation has established itself as a compelling case study in modern mineral exploration through its innovative hybrid business model that addresses critical funding challenges facing junior mining companies. The Nevada-focused explorer combines traditional project ownership with strategic partnerships, creating significant leverage opportunities while minimizing dilution risks for shareholders.Under the leadership of President and CEO Chad Peters, Ridgeline operates what he describes as a "hybrid explorer" model, maintaining operational control over exploration activities while securing partner funding across multiple high-potential projects. This approach has enabled the company to deploy an unprecedented $11 million exploration budget in 2025, with only $1.5 million requiring direct company funding.The cornerstone of Ridgeline's strategy lies in its strategic partnerships with major mining companies. Nevada Gold Mines has committed $40 million across two earn-in agreements at the Swift and Blackridge projects, allowing them to earn up to 75% interest while Ridgeline retains 25% fully carried interests through to commercial production. Additionally, South32 Limited has committed $20 million at the Selena project for an 80% earn-in, with Ridgeline maintaining 20% carried interest and operational control that generates management fees.Recent exploration success validates this model's effectiveness. At Selena, drilling has intersected up to 1,200 grams silver equivalent over 6 meters in a carbonate replacement deposit setting, demonstrating significant discovery potential. The Swift project has produced encouraging results with intersections of 10 grams gold over 1.5 meters, confirming the presence of economic-grade mineralization on trend with established mining operations.The staggered timing of partnership agreements creates continuous value catalysts, with Swift entering its fourth year, Blackridge in year three, and Selena beginning year one of their respective earn-in phases. This structure provides multiple opportunities for discovery success while maintaining operational momentum across the portfolio. Peters emphasizes the strategic advantage: "We like the idea of spending other people's money to test some really deep targets on trend of known deposits."Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ridgeline-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of Redefining Energy Tech Michael Barnard sat down with Lyle Trytten, who many in the industry know as the nickel nerd. He has spent decades working in mining and mineral processing and has become a trusted voice for organizations like Natural Resources Canada and the International Energy Agency. Our conversation turned to the techno-economic realities of seabed mining, a topic made timely by American executive orders on resource leasing and the ongoing debates around the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific.Lyle laid out the three categories of undersea mineralization that matter: manganese-rich crusts closer to shore, sulfide deposits around black smokers, and the polymetallic nodules that dominate the abyssal plains. It is those nodules that attract the most attention, given their mix of manganese, nickel, copper, cobalt and iron. The percentages matter here. Manganese makes up 20 to 30% of nodules, feeding a steel market of about 20 million tons annually. Copper mirrors manganese in demand at similar volumes. Nickel sits above copper in value, with nodules carrying over 1% grades. Cobalt is the prize, worth two and a half times nickel and largely controlled today by the Democratic Republic of Congo with annual output of 250,000 to 300,000 tons. Compared to terrestrial deposits, those grades are very competitive, often better than what current copper and nickel mines deliver onshore.Of course, the challenge is not what lies within the nodules but where they are. Four kilometers down is a different game than an open pit in Chile. Lyle framed it with a simple multiplier: one times for onshore, ten times for offshore, a hundred times underwater, and a thousand times when you hit the seabed. The Clarion Clipperton Zone lies thousands of kilometers from shore, making costs and logistics daunting. Even compared to offshore oil, with rigs like Deepwater Horizon working at 1.5 kilometers depth, this is an order of magnitude harder. That reality explains why seabed mining remains more a promise than a practice.We also dug into the credibility problem the sector faces. The history of mining is littered with scams, from Bre-X to pump-and-dump juniors, which is why Canada now requires transparent disclosures under NI 43-101. Without strict governance and independent validation, seabed mining risks repeating those mistakes. The resource base is not the issue. Just as with oil, the minerals are there. The question is whether reserves—economically viable, technically accessible deposits—will come online in time to meet surging demand, especially for copper, which looks tight in the next 15 years.Substitutability plays a role too. Aluminum can stand in for copper in transmission lines. Stainless steel has shifted chemistries in response to nickel price spikes. Battery makers tweak their chemistries—NMC ratios change with market conditions, and lithium iron phosphate has taken half the electric vehicle market without using nickel, manganese, or cobalt at all. Recycling will matter increasingly, but with service lives of decades for stainless and 20 years for batteries, secondary supply will not relieve near-term shortages. Companies like Redwood Materials and Moment Energy are building the bridge to a circular system, but the lag time is real.The conversation left me with a clear takeaway. Seabed mining is not an easy fix. The minerals are there in attractive grades, but the depth, cost, and governance challenges are immense. At the same time, demand for copper, nickel, and cobalt will keep rising, and prices will eventually force new sources to market. The industry has opportunities in recycling, substitution, and responsible development, but the old habits of hype and over-promising will have to be broken if it is to have a role in the critical minerals future.

Interview with Kiran Morzaria, CEO, Cadence MineralsRecording date: 5th September, 2025Cadence Minerals presents one of the mining sector's most compelling valuation disconnects, trading at a £10 million market capitalization while holding 35% ownership in Brazil's Amapá iron ore project valued at $1.97 billion NPV. The AIM-listed diversified investment company operates what may be one of the most undervalued mining assets in the current market.The Amapá project stands apart through its fully integrated infrastructure, encompassing mine, railway concession, and port facilities under single ownership. This rare configuration enables the company to target production of 5.5 million tons annually of premium 67.5% Fe grade direct reduction pellets with exceptionally low operating costs of $27 per ton FOB. The integrated supply chain provides both cost leadership and potential third-party revenue streams, with the railway historically carrying 700,000 tons of external material.CEO Kiran Morzaria emphasizes the infrastructure advantage: "One of the reasons that we can keep this low is because we own our own port. We have effectively a renewable concession on the railway, which will renew every 23 years." This positioning allows competitive delivery to China at $55-60 CFR, maintaining profitability even under pessimistic pricing scenarios.The investment thesis centers on two key catalysts. The immediate opportunity involves restarting the Azteca plant with just $3.5 million investment to generate 330,000-390,000 tons annually within nine months, providing cash flow and operational validation. Longer-term value creation requires securing strategic partnerships to access the $370 million capital needed for full-scale development.The company's brownfield advantage, premium product quality, and defensive cost structure position it favorably against market volatility. However, execution depends critically on partnership arrangements, making this a high-leverage play on management's ability to attract suitable joint venture partners while demonstrating operational capability through near-term production.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cadence-minerals-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Chris Stevens, CEO of Coda Minerals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/coda-minerals-asxcod-95-copper-recovery-802-million-post-tax-npv-7406Recording date: 28th August 2025Coda Minerals Limited (ASX: COD) has achieved a significant technical breakthrough that fundamentally transforms its Elizabeth Creek copper-silver project in South Australia. The company successfully developed chloride leaching technology that increases copper recovery rates from 80% to 95%, representing a departure from conventional flotation processing methods used by most copper projects globally.The innovation delivers compelling financial improvements, with the updated scoping study showing a post-tax net present value of AUD $855 million compared to the previous AUD $802 million. At current spot commodity prices, the NPV increases to approximately AUD $1.2 billion with a 38% internal rate of return. CEO Chris Stevens emphasized the conservative pricing assumptions underlying these figures, noting "$4.28 copper, $30 an ounce silver, bear in mind spot's $38 right now."The new processing paradigm has reduced total capital expenditure by AUD $74 million through simplified operations. The previous complex three-stage flotation process requiring grinding to 53 microns has been replaced with direct tank leaching at 75 microns, eliminating expensive flotation circuits, oxygen plants, and specialized grinding equipment. This streamlined approach processes approximately 400 tons per hour through polyethylene tanks with a four-hour residence time.Perhaps most significantly, the project now achieves robust economics based solely on copper and silver production, removing dependency on volatile cobalt markets. Stevens noted: "We no longer need cobalt for this project to be well economic and peer comparable. Copper and silver are much more bankable commodities with deep liquid markets." The company removed AUD $1.5 billion in cobalt revenue from the base case model while retaining it as potential upside.Located adjacent to BHP's Carrapateena project, the operation will target steady-state production exceeding 30,000 tons of copper annually. Management has identified multiple catalysts for further value creation, including mine reoptimization, potential staging opportunities, and systematic progression toward prefeasibility study completion.View Coda Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/coda-minerals-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
