Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Strategic Investor and Co-Founder of Bastion Asset Management, Michael Gentile to the show. Michael maintains a strongly bullish long-term outlook on gold, viewing the recent price consolidation from its highs as a normal pullback within a broader bull market. He emphasizes that his conviction is backed by significant personal capital deployment, having made his largest-ever quarterly allocation to junior mining companies during the recent downturn. He argues that the fundamental drivers for gold remain firmly intact, pointing to unsustainable global debt levels and a revolt in the bond markets as investors increasingly seek hard assets over devaluing paper currencies. He anticipates that central banks will eventually be forced to intervene to suppress bond yields, an action he believes will serve as turbo fuel for gold prices. Gentile sees a historic opportunity in junior mining equities, which he believes are dramatically undervalued relative to the gold price. He explains that while all-in mining margins have expanded massively, the market is still pricing many in-ground ounces at the same low levels seen when margins were a fraction of what they are today. Recent high-profile acquisitions at valuations of five to six hundred dollars per ounce validate his thesis that a significant re-rating is possible for quality assets currently trading at a steep discount. His investment strategy focuses on identifying assets with the scale, grade, and infrastructure to become actual mines, thinking like a major mining company would. He prioritizes projects that are already economic at lower gold prices and possess substantial exploration upside. For portfolio management, he limits initial positions to one percent of his net worth, aiming for a significant ownership stake, and only allocates follow-on capital to companies that continue to execute and advance toward becoming a mine. He also highlights his efforts to create synergies by marketing his portfolio companies collectively to investors.

Mining the Media opens with G.K. paying tribute to legendary pop artist Peter Max, whose bold, colorful work helped define the visual culture of the 1960s. G.K. reflects on the beauty and value of Max's art and recalls the opportunity to see his work displayed in a gallery. From art, G.K. turns to deception—and a story involving Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico. G.K. discusses reported comments attributed to Talarico's pastor suggesting that the image Talarico presents during the general-election campaign may not reflect how he would govern if elected. Dave responds that there's "nothing new under the sun," connecting the discussion to political strategy and Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Then Dave opens Crusty's Corner: "Who Guards the Guardians?" Newly released FBI records raise questions about agents who sought investigations involving Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Dave examines Crossfire Hurricane, the Carter Page FISA failures, the Durham investigation, investigative guardrails, and the danger of allowing political preference to influence government power.

The following article of the Mining industry is: “The Martyr Trap: Why Self-Care Is a Team's Greatest Asset” by Jorge Cristerna, Operations Director, Multiled.
More than a century after the 1913–14 Copper Country Strike, one of its most prominent leaders now has a permanent place in downtown Calumet, Michigan. Anna Klobuchar Clemenc, better known as “Big Annie,” was born in Calumet to Slovenian immigrant parents and became a leader in the strike, founding and serving as president of the Women's Auxiliary No. 15 of the Western Federation of Miners. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Team Big Annie chairperson Vada Riederich about the years-long community effort to raise $150,000 to create a bronze statue honoring her legacy and the August 2026 unveiling. Vada about how a Facebook post grew into a years-long campaign, the people who helped make the monument possible, and what Big Annie's legacy can teach new generations about labor history in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula.Notable Quotes:“She was driven and she would not give up on what should be fair and right.”“At that time when women had no voice and no vote, that's quite an undertaking for a young woman of 25 years old.”“I hope that young people will be inspired to learn more about our amazing history and be proud to share it.”“We're still a young nation and we're still growing and learning from our mistakes…history gives you that information so we can figure a path to correct those mistakes”“So she spoke up at that time, and it led to good things in the future.”Helpful links:Big Annie Statue Projecthttps://www.biganniestatue.com/Keweenaw National Historical Parkhttps://www.nps.gov/kewe/Coppertown Mining Museumhttps://www.nps.gov/places/coppertown-mining-museum.htmKeweenaw Community Foundation – Big Annie Statue Fundhttps://www.keweenawcommunityfoundation.org/big-annie-statue-fundConnect with us:Lake Superior Podcast Page: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

Arizona Gold & Silver is advancing its flagship Philadelphia Gold-Silver Project in Arizona's historic Oatman Mining District. CEO Mike Stark spoke to Mining Stock Daily. In August, Evolution Mining took a 9.9% stake for C$12 million to accelerate exploration at Philadelphia, with the priority objectives being:expanding the high-grade Perry Zonetesting the 3-kilometre Arabian Fault corridorevaluating potential beneath Red Hillsadvancing the Eastern and Northeastern hyperspectral anomalies
American Pacific Mining CEO Warwick Smith and Managing Director of Exploration Eric Saderholm join Mining Stock Daily to discuss the company's best drill result yet at the Madison Copper-Gold Project in Montana. Hole M26C-02, a step-out from earlier high-grade intercepts at Madison and Broadway, returned 30.8 metres of massive sulfide, including 20.1 metres of 11.15 g/t gold, 14.3 g/t silver and 0.42% copper, with the zone thickening and remaining open to the southwest. Smith and Saderholm explain how the result fits into the spring's 15,000-metre program and what a planned follow-up hole is designed to test next.

George Ogilvie, the new CEO of Hercules Metals, joins Trevor Hall for an in-depth conversation on the playbook behind building value in junior mining companies—and why he believes Hercules Metals and its Leviathan copper discovery in Idaho could be his next major success.Ogilvie reflects on more than three decades in mining and the lessons behind two notable exits: rebuilding Rubicon Minerals into Battle North Gold before its acquisition by Evolution Mining, and advancing Arizona Sonoran Copper's Cactus project before its acquisition by Hudbay. He explains how he evaluates geology, infrastructure, jurisdiction, permitting, capital allocation and management—and why knowing when to sell can be just as important as knowing how to build. The conversation then turns to Hercules Metals and the Leviathan copper porphyry discovery in Idaho. George explains what attracted his team to the project, why exploration will initially become more focused on Leviathan, and how additional drill rigs could accelerate both resource definition and news flow. With only a portion of Hercules' large land package explored, George discusses the potential scale of the system and why proving up a new U.S. copper district could define the next chapter of his career. The discussion also covers the realities of junior mining promotion, why management teams sometimes stay too long, the importance of matching leadership skills to each stage of mine development, and George's framework for deciding when shareholders are better served by accepting an acquisition rather than continuing independently.______Terrahutton empowers junior mining companies to secure investment with immersive, interactive, and visually striking storytelling.

Dan Barnholden, CEO of Luca Mining (TSX.V:LUCA – OTCQX:LUCMF – FSE:TSGA), joins us to review their Q2 2026 operations and financials, ongoing metallurgical studies, and expanded exploration and development work; across both of Luca's producing assets – the Campo Morado and Tahuehueto mines, located in the prolific Sierra Madre mineralized belt in Mexico. Q2 2026 Highlights Strong and consistent quarterly revenue: Revenue increased 47% to $58.4 million compared with $39.7 million in Q2 2025 and remained above the $57.6 million generated in Q1 2026. First-half revenue reached $116.0 million, an increase of 43% over the comparable period of 2025. Q2 revenue included $1.9 million of negative provisional pricing adjustments related to concentrate shipments made in prior periods. Strong profitability continued in Q2: Net earnings were $10.5 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.2 million in Q2 2025. Together with the $12.6 million earned in Q1 2026, Luca generated $23.1 million of net earnings in the first six months of 2026, compared with $1.3 million in the first half of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA increased 156% year-over-year to $14.3 million for Q2 and for the first six months of 2026, Adjusted EBITDA reached $36.7 million. Positive free cash flow while continuing significant investment: Operating cash flow before working capital changes was $13.9 million during Q2 2026. After approximately $11.3 million of capital investment, the Company generated free cash flow before working capital changes of $2.6 million, compared with negative $3.2 million in Q2 2025. The quarter's capital investment included continued spending on underground development, infrastructure and record levels of exploration activity. Tahuehueto had a solid production quarter, where prior investments in the processing plant and underground development, combined with the transition to new mining contractor, La Cantera, contributed to improved operating performance. There will be a coming resource estimate and technical report on increasing the plant throughput out by year-end. At Campo Morado, previously announced efforts to build a stockpile resulted in a quarter-over-quarter increase in mined tonnes while milled tonnes decreased. This temporarily reduced metal production and cash generation relative to the level of mining activity during the quarter. The stockpile was established to provide greater flexibility in managing mill feed as the Company advances optimization initiatives aimed at improving metallurgical recoveries in the near term, ahead of the anticipated recovery improvements from the Campo Morado Expansion. Dan outlined that the Campo Morado Expansion technical study, due out in H2 2026, would be comprised of: Building up the stockpile to blend the ore into the mill improving recoveries the potential for water treatment to reduce acidity trade-off studies on a finer grind size to improve precious metals recoveries During the second quarter of 2026, the Company completed approximately 12,400 metres of drilling, a Luca quarterly record, taking the year-to-date drilled meters to ~ 22,000. Exploration activities were primarily focused on near-mine and resource expansion targets, achieving the objectives of extending mine life and improving production flexibility at the Company's operating assets. There are 38 nearby targets around Campo Morado, identified by gravity surveys, that will start being systematically explored in the quarters to come.

Alex Langer, President and CEO of Sierra Madre Gold And Silver (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), joins me to recap the Q2 operations and financial update at the La Guitarra silver-gold mine complex in Mexico, which includes 3 producing mines: La Guitarra, Coloso, and Nazareno. We look ahead to the 2-phase mill expansion and upcoming increased 30,000 meters of drilling planned across the La Guitarra District. Additionally, we discussed the path forward at the recently acquired Del Toro mining complex, and the increased drill program to 30,000+ meters of drilling at the property starting in the second half of this year. Q2 2026 Highlights Revenues: Silver revenues for the quarter totaled $5.0 million ($75.65 per ounce) and gold revenues totaled $4.3 million ($4,529 per ounce). Silver revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 ("Q2 2025"), totaled $2.2 million ($33.36 per ounce) and gold revenues totaled $3.6 million ($3,272 per ounce). Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 ("H1 2026") compares to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 ("H1 2025"). Gross Profit was $1.58 million for Q2 2026, as compared to $1.69 million for Q2 2025. Cash from Operations: the Company generated $1.89 million of cash from operating activities in H1 2026 as compared to $1.37 million in H1 2025. Cash and Cash Equivalents at June 30, 2026 totaled $22.2 million, with $25.0 million in working capital, compared to $13.2 million and $14.4 million at March 31, 2026, respectively. Daily Production is now reaching up to 672 tonnes per day ("tpd"), a 34% increase over the previous level of 500 tpd. Del Toro Acquisition: Following shareholder approval (April 28, 2026 news release) and Mexican Antitrust approval (announced May 22, 2026), the Company closed the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Del Toro silver mine, as announced on June 22, 2026. With this acquisition, Sierra Madre completed a concurrent financing for gross proceeds of CAD$57.5 million. Geologic mapping and sampling have started at Del Toro with a re-evaluation of surveys underway and drilling expected to start in mid-2027. East District Exploration: Following quarter-end, as released on July 14, 2026, Sierra Madre received approval to start drilling in the East District of the Guitarra complex. Target definition work is underway with drilling bids in hand for a long-hole sub-horizontal drill program planned from the Tlacotal property (a permitted area designated for mining). Drilling is expected to start in H2 2026. First Majestic Loan Repayment: As announced on July 8, 2026, the Company has fully repaid the US$5 million non-revolving, secured term loan with First Majestic Silver. Operational Details Production: Ahead of the Phase I and II expansion plans, Sierra Madre selected a contractor to ramp up production from the higher-grade Coloso and Nazareno mines; contractor operations started mid-June. Sierra Madre miners and equipment are now focused on accelerating production at the Guitarra mine. Costs: The Q2 2026 cash costs were negatively impacted by the ramp up and development work at Coloso and Nazareno, leading to a significant share of production being sourced from development drives and out-of-resource, lower grade mineralization. While adding to top-line revenues, increased commodity prices also add to our cash costs through increased royalty payments and taxes. The strengthening Mexican peso against the US dollar, inflation impacts on inputs, and rising worker pay rates also affected costs. Recoveries: Gold and silver recoveries declined as the ongoing development work opened new mining areas and resulted in a blend of feed from three mining centres. Sierra Madre has built a metallurgical lab at the site to optimize the blending protocol. Power Generation: In Q2 2026, power outages continued due to weather incidents, increasing costs. Sierra Madre acquired a 1,250-kilowatt ("kW") back-up diesel generator for Coloso and Nazareno (installation is underway), plus two 1,500-kW back-up diesel generators for the plant. Installation of the two Guitarra generators was completed mid-August 2026 and are expected to be fully operational in September. Equipment: The transfer of a narrow-profile Muki jumbo drill to the Guitarra mine is expected to support development and production of narrower and higher-grade veins in the San Raphael area and of the Juliet vein. Following quarter end, the rebuild of a 0.5-yard scoop tram has reduced dilution and mining costs for the Juliet vein. Sierra Madre also purchased two haul trucks in April, to replace rental units used in the tailings buttress program and for Coloso haulage, which are expected to lead to cost reductions. Two scoops were also acquired to support increased mining rates with the expansion. Coloso and Nazareno: Mining restarted at the higher-grade Coloso underground mine at the end of Q1 2025 (estimated resource grades at Coloso are significantly higher in both silver and gold compared to the Guitarra mine veins[1]). In September 2025, Sierra Madre also announced the restart of mining at the Nazareno mine. At Coloso, dewatering of the lower levels has been accelerated and production from resource blocks below the existing workings is expected to start in the second half of 2026. Nazareno began full production from long-hole stopes on the 180 level in late April 2026. Expansion Progress As announced on September 8, 2025, the Company has initiated a plan to expand production capacity at Guitarra in a two-phase program with the first phase aimed at increasing the nameplate capacity of the mill from 500 tpd to a range of 750-800 tpd. The second phase is anticipated to be completed by Q3 2027, with the aim of increasing the capacity to a range of 1,200-1,500 tpd at Guitarra. With the larger-than-planned mill purchased for Phase I, additional foundation and electrical work was required - Sierra Madre now anticipates achieving Phase 1 production capacity before the end of Q3 2026. The purchase of this larger mill has moved the completion of this aspect of the Phase II expansion ahead of schedule. Since the end of Q2 2026, foundation work has been completed for the ball mill, support equipment, and building enclosure, with an overhead crane installed. Modifications to the existing mill and the installation of larger capacity pumps resulted in an increased total mill throughput capacity: daily production is now reaching up to 672 tpd, a 34% increase over the previous level of 500 tpd. Refurbishment of the used ball mill, purchased in December 2025, was completed at the end of Q1 2026, increasing its rated milling capacity to 900 tpd. A standard head crusher, purchased in Q4 2025, started full operation in April 2026 (two months ahead of schedule). Together with modifications to the primary crusher, this addition is expected to allow the circuit to surpass the Phase I objective of 750-800 tpd. Thickener tank construction was completed in mid-August 2026, with testing of the mechanical and electrical circuits underway - the thickener is expected to be functional by the end of September. Shipping delays pushed back completion from the original late June 2026 estimate. The thickener is designed to thicken tailings to ±60% solids, allowing a significant portion of the tailings to be pumped directly to open stopes below the main San Raphael mine level, using existing tailings pumping equipment. Sierra Madre has also chosen to proceed with the construction of the new permitted dry stack tailings storage facility. Site clearing is expected to start in October. Construction of a filter plant and a second thickener will also be needed for the Phase II expansion.

Interview with David Wolfin, CEO of Avino Silver & Gold MinesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/avino-silver-gold-tsxasm-record-revenue-powers-three-mine-expansion-strategy-8753Recording date: 4th September 2026Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:ASM) enters the second half of 2026 in the strongest financial position in its 57-year history, and that strength is now being deployed toward a decision that could reshape the company's production profile. Q2 2026 revenue reached $26.8 million, up 23% year-on-year, driven by higher realised silver prices at $68.90/oz and increased throughput from La Preciosa development material. Net income of $10.9 million and EBITDA of $12.6 million both grew strongly year-on-year, and the company closed the quarter debt-free with $144.2 million in cash and $140.8 million in working capital.That balance sheet strength underpins the company's most consequential near-term decision: whether to build a standalone processing plant at La Preciosa, its silver development project 19 kilometres from the existing Avino mill. Management estimates a facility comparable to Avino's current 2,500-tonne-per-day mill would cost $200-300 million, roughly half of which the company already holds in cash. A pre-feasibility study now underway with an independent engineering firm is expected within 8-10 months, after which Avino could move directly to a construction decision.The case for going standalone rests on both economics and optionality. Trucking material 19 kilometres at a much larger scale would strain logistics and community relations at the volumes a full La Preciosa operation would require, and CEO David Wolfin has been explicit that a standalone plant is the better use of capital once the study confirms it. Recent drilling supports that confidence: intercepts including 7.9 metres of 1,600 g/t silver and 2 g/t gold, and a further 6 metres at 550 g/t silver, suggest underground mining grades could exceed the diluted, open-pit-based resource model inherited from the project's previous owner, Coeur Mining.Underpinning this is Avino's first mineral reserve in company history, published in April 2026 after the company crossed the $90 million trailing-revenue threshold required under NI 43-101 to report reserves. The combined 127 million silver equivalent ounces in proven and probable reserves, alongside 301 million ounces of measured and indicated resources, gives the growth story a formal technical foundation it lacked a year ago. Average reserve mine life across the portfolio comfortably exceeds the roughly 8-year average among primary silver peers, a comparison management uses to argue for a valuation re-rating as the company de-risks.Risks remain concentrated in execution. Costs rose alongside the cash build, with all-in sustaining costs of $38.75 per silver equivalent ounce in Q2, reflecting the expense of developing a new mine rather than deterioration at Avino itself. Copper production fell 50% year-on-year as the company processed oxidised material from historical open-pit walls, a sequencing decision expected to reverse over the next six to eight months. Investors should also note that much of the grade upside management points to remains in step-out drilling not yet reflected in the reserve model; an updated estimate is expected in Q1 2027.For investors, Avino offers a rare combination: an operating, cash-generating mine funding a second high-grade asset, a debt-free balance sheet providing genuine optionality, and two concrete near-term catalysts: the La Preciosa pre-feasibility study, and the Q1 2027 resource update against which to track execution.View Avino Silver & Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/avino-silver-gold-mines-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe
Interview with Donovan Pollitt, President and Director, White Gold Corp Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/white-gold-tsxvwgo-largest-drill-program-commencing-on-highest-grade-gold-resource-in-yukon-10043Recording date: 2nd September 2026White Gold Corp (TSXV:WGO) has crossed a threshold that had eluded it for years: a Preliminary Economic Assessment that puts formal economics around its Yukon flagship deposit. Released August 10, 2026 and refined in an August 28 update, the PEA delivers an after-tax NPV (5%) of C$1.86 billion and a 41% IRR at a US$3,600/oz gold price, with a 1.5-year payback period. At spot-adjacent US$4,500/oz pricing, those figures rise to a C$2.9 billion NPV and 56% IRR. The proposed operation is a conventional open-pit, carbon-in-leach mine processing 12,000 tonnes per day across the Golden Saddle, Arc, Ryan's Surprise and VG zones, producing approximately 188,000 ounces annually over a 9.4-year life at an all-in sustaining cost of US$1,482/oz. Initial capital is costed at C$1,002 million.President and Director Donovan Pollitt was explicit that the study was built conservatively: a first-year production rate derated to 85% of nameplate, full costing of infrastructure most PEAs might trim (a new 5,000-foot airstrip, complete camp and tailings facilities), and a mine plan that uses only around 60% of the current 3 million-ounce resource. Notably, underground potential at Golden Saddle where drilling continues to target higher-grade mineralisation below the current pit design was excluded from the study altogether, representing upside not yet reflected in the headline numbers.Beyond the PEA, two lower-cost avenues to resource growth are underway in parallel with continued step-out drilling: a systematic resampling of roughly 7,350 metres of historic core (about 12% of all metres drilled on the property since 2008) that was never assayed, concentrated in a hanging-wall zone now interpreted as continuously mineralised, and a new target, Golden Saddle 2.0, on the far side of a fault offset from the main deposit. The 2026 drilling programme totals 15,000-20,000 metres, with over 10,000 metres completed at the time of the interview and 11,500 metres confirmed in a subsequent company update; assay results are expected through the autumn as regional lab capacity, strained by a busy Yukon drill season, catches up.A second and distinct value lever sits outside the gold story: White Gold's non-gold critical mineral targets - copper, tungsten, silver and molybdenum anomalies identified through years of soil geochemistry but never drilled - are being spun into a separately listed vehicle, W2 Critical Minerals Corp, at a ratio of one W2 share per five WGO shares held. The Ontario Superior Court granted final approval for the arrangement on August 28, 2026, with W2's associated financing upsized from $5 million to $10 million to fund a maiden drill programme.Valuation-wise, White Gold trades at approximately US$116 per contained ounce as of early August 2026 company filings - the lowest in its Yukon peer group despite carrying that group's highest weighted-average grade (1.38 g/T). Management has signalled no rush toward a production decision or an accelerated pre-feasibility study, prioritising further drilling and optionality on mine-plan design over speed. For investors, the near-term catalyst calendar includes autumn assay results, progress at Golden Saddle 2.0 and the VG East extension, and the pending completion of the W2 spin-out.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/white-gold-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe
Something completely different this week on Mining the Media! G.K. and David take a well-earned break from the political battlefield and explore the value of simply getting away. G.K. takes us off the beaten path with three fascinating travel programs featuring abandoned places, forgotten communities, historic locations, and the stories still waiting to be discovered across North America. His recommendations include Joe & Nic's Road Trip, Canadian photographer and videographer Chris Attrell, and Travel with the Wise Guy. Then, in Crusty's Corner, David asks a question we don't consider often enough: Is there a biblical case for rest and recreation? From God's pattern of rest in Genesis to Jesus telling His exhausted disciples to "come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while," Scripture reminds us that constant activity isn't necessarily faithfulness. Sometimes stepping away isn't avoiding our responsibilities—it prepares us to return to them. And this week, Crusty intends to practice what he preaches. We close things out with the perfect soundtrack for an episode about slowing down and enjoying God's gifts: The Friends of Distinction and their 1969 classic, "Grazing in the Grass." No political trench warfare. No Washington drama. Just history, travel, Scripture, rest—and a little grazing in the grass. Sometimes you've just got to get away.

A mining show, and the Space crashed midway. Bob Burnett, elected chairman of OCEAN two days earlier, joined Tom French and Callum Wheeler of RenewaBlox, with Suze and Swan's Alec on stage.⭐ Burnett's hashrate taxonomy now has three animals: rabbits (home miners, maybe 1 to 2% of hash), wild horses (miners who produce their own power), and captive elephants (industrial miners on someone else's grid).His definition of the risk: "captive means you are dependent on somebody else to provide you with the power. Wild means you produce your own energy, and so therefore you have freedom."⭐⭐ His target, said plainly: if wild horses reach roughly a third of the network, "we have a great deal of resistance to hash centralization." His own read is that the elephants have shrunk as public miners pivoted toward AI.⭐⭐ Asked whether mining stabilizes the grid, he conceded what the industry rarely does: "we overstate our ability to have impact." Bitcoin uses half a percent of world electricity, and "we cannot stabilize the world's grids. We're not big enough."The scale he put on it: roughly 160 terawatt-hours a year against about 30,000 globally, and a block-reward industry of "roughly $10 billion" in 2026. Local and regional cooperation, yes. Macro stabilization, no.Barefoot Mining's own model is the wild horse in practice. The company owns gas wells in Pennsylvania, runs engines Burnett says burn nearly emission-free, and is investing heavily in stranded natural gas over the next six to twelve months.⭐ RenewaBlox brought the UK version. Callum described two run-of-river hydro projects in Scotland, one roughly a megawatt and fully off-grid after the network operator made a connection uneconomic.⭐ Tom's small-site example was the one that made the economics concrete: a 200-kilowatt hydro site with export capped at 150, leaving 50 kilowatts of headroom and, by his figures, around 18 to 19 pence per kilowatt-hour on the table.The Space dropped right there, mid-sentence. The recording picks up with "Are we back?" and the room reassembled within a minute.The heat lane: a distillery in Annandale is piloting a sand battery, turning excess electricity into stored heat through a resistor. RenewaBlox's first thought was that the resistor could be an ASIC.Suze relayed a listener's challenge that Burnett had said mining doesn't stabilize the grid. He confirmed it, which is how the concession above got made.Tom on where efficiency gains come from: today's rooftop solar is bounded by the Shockley-Queisser limit, and stacking perovskite tandem layers could lift panel output roughly 10% per layer, with five or six layers as a plausible ceiling.Burnett on AI: he uses it daily to run operations and won't put constraints on what it might unlock, but for his lifetime the energy story stays gas and renewables.The campaign is in its last days. No show Monday. Tomorrow is the last episode of the week, and the final episode is Tuesday, September 8, also the last day for the half-price buy fee.
Interview with Alex Walker, CEO of East Star ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/east-star-resources-lseest-partner-funded-copper-production-and-25m-gold-search-in-kazakhstan-10606Recording date: 2nd September 2026East Star Resources (LSE:EST) has added a second free-carried development structure to its Kazakhstan copper and gold portfolio, signing a binding Heads of Agreement for a joint venture over its Rulikha copper project. The deal follows the same non-dilutive logic that underpins East Star's existing Verkhuba joint venture with Chinese mine-builder Xinhai Mining: rather than raising capital from shareholders to fund permitting, drilling and construction, East Star brings in a partner with deeper development expertise and lets that partner carry the cost, in exchange for a minority economic interest once the project reaches production.At Rulikha, that partner group consists of two entities: Nova, a financing vehicle, and Orion, an operating team that has previously built two copper mines in Kazakhstan and exited its most recent project to a Chinese buyer for approximately $125 million within the past four years. CEO Alex Walker cited that track record, along with the personal involvement of a well-connected Kazakh lawyer who structured the deal, as central to his confidence in the partnership.The earn-in mechanics are designed to protect East Star's downside. The partners' initial percentage only crystallises once they complete the first of either 3,000 metres of drilling or $1.5 million of spend, and even that threshold represents only a fraction of the total committed spend, not a cap. East Star's final economic interest lands between 25% and 35% depending on whether the partners fund with equity or debt and importantly, majority ownership does not pass to the partners until they reach the construction stage, well beyond the current commitment.Operationally, drilling approval for Rulikha is already secured, land access was obtained before the joint venture was even discussed, and management expects drilling to begin in the third or fourth quarter of 2026, targeting both the main Rulikha deposit areas and two satellite targets, Taloskoy and Rulikha North, the latter having already returned a 120-metre interval of disseminated sulphide mineralisation last year.Meanwhile, at the more advanced Verkhuba copper deposit, drilling continues under the existing Xinhai-funded joint venture, with a second rig now on site and the first assay results due at the lab within one to two weeks. East Star's separate gold exploration joint venture with Endeavour Mining, covering two large land packages in northern and central Kazakhstan under a $25 million funding commitment, remains unchanged and continues to offer a third free-carried catalyst.For investors, the Rulikha announcement effectively doubles East Star's exposure to potential copper production funded entirely by third parties, without adding dilution risk. The near-term catalysts to watch are execution of the definitive Rulikha joint venture agreement (currently only a Heads of Agreement), the start of Rulikha drilling later this year, and Verkhuba's forthcoming assay results, which together will begin to clarify the pace at which East Star's project pipeline converts into cash flow.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/east-star-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe
Interview with Jonathan Fisher, CEO of Cauldron EnergyRecording date: 2nd September 2026Cauldron Energy (ASX:CXU) holds 55 million pounds of JORC-compliant uranium resource at its Yanrey Project in Western Australia, with an exploration target of up to 269 million additional pounds. The company's near-perfect drilling record and strategic positioning make it a compelling uranium story—provided Western Australia lifts its longstanding mining ban.The Yanrey Project spans three deposits: Bennett Well, Manyingee South, and Manyingee North are all situated in a region considered highly prospective for in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium mining. Cauldron's exploration has been remarkably successful wherein the first 24 drill holes at Manyingee North intersected mineralisation, defining a maiden 10-million-pound resource with a 100% hit rate. Subsequent drilling of 40 to 50 additional holes has maintained that near-perfect success rate.The company uses passive seismic surveying to identify buried palaeochannels, ancient river systems, that concentrated uranium as they flowed eastward from granitic sources. Three channels have been drilled to date, yielding the three known deposits, with 20-30 more channels still untested. A formal resource update is expected later in 2026 following the completion of the current drilling campaign.Western Australia's state-level uranium mining ban remains the single biggest obstacle to production. Despite this, Cauldron received two government exploration grants in April 2026, a signal CEO Jonathan Fisher interprets as contradictory but encouraging. Additional indicators of potential policy shift include a parliamentary inquiry where over 60% of submissions favoured uranium mining, and a recent by-election swing toward the pro-uranium One Nation party.While the ban persists, Cauldron is maximising its resource base to become either a ready-to-develop asset or an attractive takeover target once policy changes. The company has partnered with Uzbekistan's Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company to de-risk ISR process design and hired an experienced environmental manager to navigate regulatory approvals. Groundwater testing by ANSTO found low salinity across all three deposits—a favourable factor for ISR recovery economics.Cauldron's investment case hinges entirely on Western Australia lifting its mining ban. While management cites multiple signals of policy change, none are confirmed. Technical risks remain, as demonstrated by peer Boss Energy's setbacks at its Honeymoon ISR operation, though Cauldron's Navoi partnership aims to mitigate such risks. Shareholder concentration is high, with a family office holding ~30% and ETFs ~15–16%, providing stability but limiting free float.View Cauldron Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cauldron-energy-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe

Interview with Peter Akerley, CEO & Kelly Clure, Advisor of Erdene Resource DevelopmentOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/erdene-resource-developments-tsxerd-undervalued-investment-series-with-peter-akerley-10566Recording date: 1st September 2026Erdene Resource Development Corp. (TSX:ERD; MSE:ERDN; OTCQX:ERDCF) has moved from mine-builder to self-funded explorer. The company's Bayan Khundii Gold Mine, operated as a 50/50 joint venture with Mongolian Mining Corporation, delivered 11,709 ounces of gold in Q2 2026, a 37% increase quarter-on-quarter, generating $53 million in gross revenue. Feed grade rose 25% to 2.4 g/t gold, with recoveries of 96%, ahead of plan.That cash flow is now being redeployed into a materially more aggressive exploration program across the company's broader Khundii Minerals District, discovered by Erdene in Mongolia's southwest. Management has committed 12,000 metres of drilling to Bayan Khundii's western expansion, targeting the corridor between the current pit and the newly resource-defined Ulaan deposit. In parallel, the company is testing porphyry copper potential beneath all three of its main hydrothermal systems, Bayan Khundii, Altan Nar and Zuun Mod, none of which has been drill-tested below roughly 700 metres, despite kilometre-scale surface alteration footprints comparable to major regional discoveries like Oyu Tolgoi.Zuun Mod, a wholly-owned molybdenum-copper porphyry, is the standout near-term catalyst: the deposit ranks in the upper 15th percentile globally on grade-tonnage terms, and a preliminary economic assessment is on track for mid-H2 2026, backed by a newly contracted deep geophysics (IP/MT) program aimed at both Zuun Mod itself and the adjacent Khuvyn Khar copper target.Altan Nar, holding roughly 500,000 ounces of gold along a 5-kilometre trend, is next in line for 2027 capital, with management weighing a CIP tie-in to the existing Bayan Khundii plant against a standalone flotation-concentrate build. Early metallurgical work favours the CIP route, potentially adding five years of mine life for a fraction of the estimated $140 million standalone capex. A complementary heap leach study, covering oxide material at both Dark Horse and Altan Nar, could add a further ~100,000 ounces of lower-cost production.A smaller, earlier-stage option property, Tereg Uul, sits roughly 10km south of Oyu Tolgoi; a maiden drill program confirmed anomalous gold, silver and native copper along a 1.5-kilometre structure, and the option was extended in July 2026 with a $400,000 payment.Underpinning the exploration push is a policy tailwind: Mongolia's mining ministry announced in June 2026 that it would reopen exploration licensing after roughly a decade of restricted issuance, a development management believes favours first movers with existing geological databases, including Erdene.Financially, the company holds $26 million in corporate cash earmarked for its wholly-owned project pipeline through 2027, and is running an active share buyback (up to 4.9 million shares, ~10% of public float, with 94,400 shares already repurchased at an average $5.21). Key near-term catalysts for investors to track include the Zuun Mod PEA, deep geophysics results expected later in Q3 2026, and progress on Mongolia's licensing reopening.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/erdene-resource-developmentSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe
In this episode we chat to Matthew Rowlinson, President and CEO at Solaris Resources to discuss the development of Warintza in Ecuador, one of the world's largest undeveloped copper projects. We explore what differentiates Warintza from other major copper discoveries, the critical steps required to move a resource of this scale towards construction, and how Solaris is thinking about financing and ownership as the project becomes increasingly de-risked. We also look at the wider copper market in particular; why the industry isn't building enough new mines despite forecasts of a future supply shortage, the growing importance of geopolitics and China's role in downstream refining, and what the mining industry needs to do to secure the social and political support required to develop the next generation of major copper mines. KEY TAKEAWAYS Warintza is an open-pit copper porphyry project in southeastern Ecuador boasting a 5.8-billion-tonne resource, a 55-year mine life, and an advantageous 0.5-to-1 strip ratio. Solaris is targeting mid-2027 to achieve a fully permitted status, aiming for a final investment decision (FID) by the end of 2027 followed by an estimated three-year build. Upstream mine ownership does not guarantee supply security because Western development has lagged behind China's dominant 50% to 60% share of global smelting and refining capacity. The primary barrier to meeting the global copper shortage is not the lack of raw resources, but the lengthy timelines and the scarcity of projects that have successfully aligned permitting, social license, and technical studies into a truly financeable package. BEST MOMENTS "There's a difference between a very good ore body, a good project, and ultimately a financeable project... in the world today there's very few projects that are actually probably financeable." "Mining is really the procurement arm of the world... industrialization and urbanization has only happened through ultimately mining." "Western governments are looking at independence of supply chains... However, owning a mine in Latin America, owning a mine in the DRC... does not necessarily solve the supply chain issue because your concentrates are ultimately going to go to China to be processed." "Partnership... is not necessarily just about bringing in capital. It's really about bringing in expertise, bringing in a balance sheet that really is solid, and the ability to go and construct."

Solid mining waste represents a significant quantity of waste material in the United States and around the world. Solid mining waste has a range of physical and chemical properties that make it both potentially valuable and potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. From a commercial perspective, mining removes most of the primary minerals of interest; however, waste materials can still contain valuable minerals and other materials that can be recovered. The different types of mining sites and potential wastes for reuse provide a significant challenge but also an opportunity for innovation. Improvements in extraction and mineral processing technologies have occurred over time making it possible to recover minerals present in low concentrations. Interest in trace metals and rare earth elements (REEs) has increased, especially with the drive towards renewable energy sources increasing demand for key minerals required for solar panels and batteries. The reuse of solid mining waste can consist of reprocessing and repurposing the waste for resource recovery or a new application or product. This reuse serves as a solution to two significant needs:a domestic supply of minerals and materials for sustainable development and national defense purposesthe reclamation and remediation of land to reduce risks to human and environmental health The ITRC Reuse of Solid Mining Waste training and guidance document is geared towards state regulators and environmental consultants, mining and manufacturing stakeholders, community and tribal stakeholders, and other who have an interest in the potential reuse of solid mining waste. The guidance and this associated training course includes:Mining wastes introductionConsiderations for reusing mining waste: waste characterization, economic and market considerations, life cycle and risk assessment, regulatory considerations, & stakeholder considerationsPotential applications for the reuse of solid mining waste: examples of construction, environmental, and industrial reusesReview of technologies used in mineral beneficiation and processing Additionally, the guidance includes several case studies illustrating a range of current mining waste reuse scenarios.

Bitcoin miners are increasingly turning toward AI and data centers, but that shift could create new opportunities for the miners who stay focused on Bitcoin.In this episode, David Sencil sits down with Karun Mackencherry, Senior Director of Mining Services at Compass Mining, to unpack what the AI boom could mean for Bitcoin mining economics.They discuss how major miners leaving the network could reduce mining difficulty, potentially improving conditions for remaining participants. Karun also breaks down the costs that matter most in mining, including hardware prices, hosting, electricity, and infrastructure.The conversation explores why Texas remains one of the most important Bitcoin mining hubs, why Compass Mining has no plans to pivot away from Bitcoin mining for AI, and where the industry could go next.Topics include: Why Bitcoin miners are shifting toward AI and data centers How miner exits could affect Bitcoin mining difficulty Mining profitability and hardware economics Hosting and electricity costs Why Texas remains a major Bitcoin mining hub Why Compass Mining is staying focused on Bitcoin Hash-rate products and mining investment funds How regulatory clarity could shape the industry As AI reshapes the economics of data centers and energy infrastructure, this conversation looks at whether the shift could ultimately strengthen the opportunity for Bitcoin miners who remain.

Recording date: 28th August 2026Olive Resource Capital's latest Compass episode centres on two connected observations: a summer drilling season that is quietly delivering strong results, and a persistent shortage of the advanced copper projects the market increasingly wants exposure to.On the drilling side, Derek Macpherson said a quick scan of recent releases turned up roughly ten notable holes in a two-day window, spanning gold and copper-equivalent results from companies including Lake Victoria Gold, Free Gold, ATEX Resources and VR Resources. He attributed the volume to well-funded companies - many of which raised capital during the frothy financing window of late 2025 and early 2026 - finally reaching the drill bit with larger, multi-rig programmes than in past cycles. Despite the quality of results, Samuel Pelaez noted that most of the underlying stocks have moved only modestly, framing individual holes as a starting point for deeper diligence rather than a signal to react to immediately. He illustrated the point with VR Resources Ltd. (TSXV:VRR), whose strong copper-equivalent grade at its New Boston project in Nevada turned out to be molybdenum-led on closer inspection, and with Heritage Mining Corp., where a genuinely strong gold result failed to move the share price because of an unresolved warrant overhang from prior financings.Both Macpherson and Pelaez pointed to operational bottlenecks as a growing constraint on the pace of news flow. Assay laboratory turnaround times have roughly doubled industry-wide, and at least one Nevada-based lab has stopped accepting new clients. Macpherson cited a conversation with White Gold Corp. CEO David D'Onofrio, who described Yukon labs as overwhelmed by the scale of concurrent drill programmes in the territory - a dynamic likely to push meaningful drill-result reporting into the fourth quarter and beyond the traditional autumn conference season.This episode returned to a recurring theme: the scarcity of tier-one copper development projects. Pelaez cited comments from Mineral Resources Limited (ASX:MIN) chief executive Chris Ellison, who told investors on a results call that the roughly A$10 billion Australian miner intends to buy a copper project outside Australia within the next 12 months - a sign, in Pelaez's view, that copper demand is broadening well beyond specialist resource investors. Macpherson highlighted Rio Tinto's US$15 million strategic investment in Mogotes Metals Inc. (TSXV:MOG), closed on 27 August, as further evidence of major producers competing for exposure to early-stage assets in Argentina and Chile's Vicuña district, home to NGEx Minerals Ltd.'s (TSXV:NGEX) four significant discoveries. Closer to home, Olive continues to build positions in Edge Copper Corporation's (TSXV:EDCU) Zonia project in Arizona, Gladiator in the Yukon, and Valhalla in Alaska.Olive's preferred strategy is buying advanced development assets likely to be built or acquired this cycle, on the view that the valuation gap between developers and producers is typically widest early in a bull market, a gap they expect to become more pronounced in copper as competition for scarce, advanced assets intensifies.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe
How do you convince your brain that it's safe to be awake at night? In this episode of Mining in the Comments, Daniel explores a thoughtful question from the community: "How do we convince ourselves to feel safe with the outcome if we genuinely do not feel safe with the outcome?" Many people with insomnia understand logically that being awake at night isn't dangerous, yet still feel trapped in a cycle of fear, pressure, and sleeplessness. So how do we help the brain see what the logical mind already knows? In this episode, you'll learn: • Why trying to force yourself to feel safe often backfires • The surprising similarities between changing your own mind and changing someone else's • How insomnia is fueled by resistance and fear rather than wakefulness itself • The difference between what feels true and what is actually true • Why feelings of exhaustion and depletion don't necessarily mean something is wrong • How recovery can happen even when doubt is still present This conversation offers a gentler perspective on insomnia recovery—one rooted in understanding, patience, and allowing your mind the space to discover safety on its own.
Macroeconomic uncertainty, persistent inflation, and geopolitical conflicts are reshaping capital flows across the commodity complex. This episode brings together precious metals and energy sector...
G.K. opens this week's Mining the Media with two New Nuggets available exclusively at MiningTheMedia.com: an NIH-funded study finding that puberty blockers failed to improve youth mental health, and a striking comparison of the enormous land requirements of solar and wind energy versus nuclear power. Then G.K. brings Dave something he hadn't seen: "A Mike Johnson power move can neuter the DSA — and make Democrats pick a side." What political maneuver is the Speaker considering, and why could it force members of Congress to publicly choose between the Democratic Socialists of America and the broader Democratic Party? Then Dave takes the microphone for a deeply personal Crusty's Corner: "Who Had Access? — The Troubling Questions Surrounding Presidential Security." An armed man allegedly surveilled federal agents preparing for a presidential visit, falsely claimed to be part of a State Department security detail, and was later found with extensive writings reportedly containing schedules involving First Lady Melania Trump and Secret Service personnel. Drawing carefully upon decades of experience in military aviation, airspace management, homeland defense, and classified environments—without revealing what should remain protected—Dave asks the question that refuses to go away: How did he know? This isn't about exposing the secrets that protect America's First Family. It's about demanding that the people entrusted with those secrets determine whether they remained secret.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Willem Middelkoop to the show. Willem Middelkoop is an author and is the Founder of the Commodity Discovery Fund. Middelkoop asserts that the “big reset” of the global financial system, a thesis he developed over a decade ago, is now unfolding in real time. He points to the accelerating decline of U.S. hegemony, evidenced by the collapsing petrodollar system and waning international support, particularly in the Middle East. This shift from an era of cooperation to confrontation is driving a fundamental change in capital flows, with generalist investors beginning to move away from paper assets like U.S. Treasuries toward hard assets. He notes that foreign ownership of U.S. debt has fallen below thirty percent, a situation he describes as “Weimar Lite,” where the Federal Reserve is increasingly forced to monetize government debt. This environment explains the strong performance of gold, which is being reintroduced into the monetary system without official decree, primarily through record central bank purchases. China alone is buying sixty percent of the world's annual mine production outside its borders. While Middelkoop does not foresee a hyperinflationary collapse, as the U.S. retains powerful tools like revaluing its gold holdings, he believes a new financial crisis is likely in the coming years. In such a crisis, he expects central banks to play the “gold card,” driving a significant revaluation. This outlook informs his investment strategy, which focuses on hard assets including real estate, physical gold and silver, Bitcoin, and high-quality equities. Shifting to the mining sector, Middelkoop highlights the exceptional opportunity in gold producers, which are generating record free cash flow yet trade at historically low valuations. His fund, however, specializes in discovery investing, concentrating on a select portfolio of world-class tier-one and tier-two discoveries. He emphasizes that the key to outsized returns is maintaining a long-term position in a major discovery, allowing value to compound over decades as the deposit is developed into a producing mine. This patient, concentrated approach involves taking significant stakes in companies after the initial discovery hype and supporting them through to production.

He became a well-known personality through his work as a stock market commentator for the Dutch business television channel RTLZ. Middelkoop predicted the credit crisis’s onset in his book “Als de dollar valt” (If the dollar falls) in 2007. Subsequent publications were “De permanente oliecrisis” (The permanent oil crisis) – 2008, “Overleef de kredietcrisis” (Surviving the credit crisis) – 2009, “Goud en het geheim van geld” (Gold and the secret of money) – 2012, and The Big Reset – 2013. In total, he sold more than 100,000 copies of his books. The Commodity Discovery Fund was established in the summer of 2008. It started with three million euros and 22 participants. By the end of 2023, it had grown to about 2,000 participants and €104 million in assets under management.

Silver Bow Mining signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Jefferson County Metallurgical Complex in Montana through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy process, committing roughly $28.6 million in cash at initial closing plus contingent value rights, royalties, and profit interests tied to future milestones. Mining Stock Daily spoke to president Doug Stiles and CFO Wade Black about the transaction. The complex includes two processing circuits, the Montana Tunnels M-Pit, and related infrastructure that the company believes could eventually help process ore from its nearby Rainbow Block deposit, pending a feasibility study, shareholder approval, and Bankruptcy Court sign-off.
Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with another unsettling account from the Alaska bush, this time involving two first cousins, Jacob and Charles, who were working at a small mining operation along the Yukon River in the early 1980s.At first, the trouble looked like vandalism. Equipment around the remote camp was being tampered with, water lines were disturbed, trees had been pushed over, and at one point the mining trommel was tipped. With no obvious explanation for what was happening, Charles was assigned to keep watch from a raised platform overlooking the site. That decision only made things stranger.While standing guard, Charles began experiencing a series of close calls. The platform beneath him seemed to shift unexpectedly, an improvised outhouse nearly collapsed while he was using it, and a powerful foul odor around the camp seemed to grow worse. Along with it came the persistent feeling that something nearby was watching him from the timber. Then came the noise.After heavy thrashing erupted in the brush, Jacob came down to check on Charles. When they swept the area with a spotlight, both men caught a brief look at an enormous dark figure moving quickly away from the camp. Based on what they saw against the surrounding trees and equipment, they estimated it stood somewhere around thirteen feet tall.Whatever it was, it didn't simply disappear into the woods. As the men tried to get away and waited for help, they witnessed the scaffolding being pushed over. When the site was examined in daylight, the damage was even harder to explain. The loader appeared to have been shoved from its position, the outhouse had been destroyed, and a large boulder had somehow been forced into the trommel.That was enough for the crew. The operation was abandoned, the men quit, and Charles was taken downriver to a clinic after the ordeal.Fred walks us through the full account and the strange chain of events that left two experienced men convinced that whatever had been tearing apart that mining camp wasn't another person.
