Is your steak a byproduct of a corrupt financial ledger? Texas Slim (@modernTman) explains how food centralization serves as currency debasement. We discuss the 1971 "Big Fat Lie" and how ending the gold standard led to declining nutritional integrity via subsidized grains. Slim argues the health of our children is proof of work, noting the current legacy system is failing.Modern cattle ranching is a struggle against corporate cartels. For years, the industry has prioritized inflationary weight gain over biological vitality. Slim describes the transition from forage-based systems to scientific manipulation. This centralization has hurt independent ranchers through regulatory capture and debt traps.El Salvador is now a hub for regenerative agriculture and food security. Slim is moving away from Angus beef marketing myths to launch heritage breed programs designed for local microbiomes. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach with Brahman cattle, he is building a sovereign food system. He believes fixing the money is the first step toward fixing the food.Vertical integration allows producers to remove parasitic middlemen. The Beef Initiative develops decentralized micro-processing to return power to ranchers. By owning the value chain from the water table to the fork, producers can move away from the industrial machine.The acquisition of beef.com represents a change. It acts as the digital backbone for a global movement connecting producers and consumers via a Bitcoin standard. This infrastructure ensures the narrative remains with land stewards. The goal is to build a future based on hard assets.—Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Texas SlimX: Main: https://x.com/modernTmanX: Movement: https://x.com/@beefinitiativeX: Media: https://x.com/@TexasSlimsCutsIG: https://www.instagram.com/iamtexasslim/IG: https://www.instagram.com/texasslimscuts/YT: https://www.youtube.com/@iamtexasslimWeb: https://harvestofdeception.substack.com/Web: https://beef.comWeb: https://beefinitiative.com/Web: https://beefnews.org/Web: https://beefmaps.com/       Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro05:42 Why the 1971 money shift ruined our food11:08 How to exit the corporate meat monopoly18:16 Why El Salvador is the hub for food security22:49 How to build a sovereign cattle program24:13 How decentralized processing kills the food cartel31:59 Fixing food economics: Price per acre vs. pound37:05 Mining volcanic soil for high-density protein51:00 How Beef.com disrupts global middlemen1:06:01 Protecting your wealth with hard assetsLive From Bitcoin Beach

Donald Trump has never thought very highly of Africa, famously referring to the continent as a place of "sh**hole countries." While there's no indication that sentiment has changed, he's recognized that African resources are essential if he wants the U.S. to decouple from Chinese dominanted critical mineral supply chains. In February, the administration unveiled an ambitious new critical minerals sourcing initiative in which African countries, in particular, play an outsized role. But the Chinese have a 20+ year head start sourcing and refining these minerals and metals, so displacing them is not going to be easy. For some perspective on this burgeoning U.S.-China rivalry, Eric & Géraud are joined by two of the top editors at the online news site Semafor. Yinka Adegoke is Semafor's Africa Editor, and Andy Browne is the outlet's Managing Editor, who will oversee Semafor's new China newsletter.

In Episode 6 of Space Revolution, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast and guest Brad Zerbo explore how mining asteroids and building in zero gravity could transform life on Earth. The discussion centers on three pillars of prosperity in space: information, energy, and resources, and how tapping into them could support the eight essentials of life, air, water, food, shelter, information, energy, transportation, and healthcare. They examine robotic asteroid mining, 3D printing structures in zero gravity, and the possibility of constructing entire homes in space and delivering them gently to Earth. The conversation highlights reusable rockets, renewable satellites, space-based energy beaming, and using water in space as fuel. Kwast emphasizes that reducing the cost of energy and materials could uplift the human condition globally while preserving Earth from destructive mining practices. Throughout the episode, they stress the importance of moral leadership, constitutional principles, and decentralizing control so individuals, not centralized powers, retain access to life's essentials. The show concludes with a recommended reading of Mining the Sky and a call for citizens to engage politically to guide this revolution responsibly.

In this episode of Mining the Comments, Coach Daniel (sleep physician turned sleep coach and founder of the Sleep Coach School) responds to a powerful community question: “I have a terrible migraine, rendering me unable to sleep at all. Could you do an episode about how to sleep with pain?” In this video, we explore the deep connection between pain, fear, and sleep, and why trying to force sleep or eliminate pain often makes both worse. You'll learn how insomnia and chronic pain follow the same fear-based loop, and how relief begins—not by fighting symptoms—but by removing the sense of threat.

Take Action Here: http://bit.ly/SpeakUpForTheBWCACall Your Senator: 202-224-3121In this episode of Wild Life Outdoors, Russell sits down with Lukas Leaf, Executive Director of Sportsmen for the Boundary Waters, to talk about what is truly at stake in the fight to protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.This conversation breaks past headlines and talking points. We dive into why the Boundary Waters is not just an environmental issue, but a sportsmen's issue, an economic issue, and a public lands issue that affects hunters, anglers, outfitters, and rural communities far beyond northeastern Minnesota.Lukas explains the real risks of sulfide copper mining near a pristine watershed, why this type of mining has never been done without pollution, and how overturning current protections could set a dangerous precedent for public lands across the country. We also discuss how these decisions bypass public input, who actually benefits, and who bears the long term cost when wilderness protections are rolled back.Most importantly, this episode is a call to action. The clock is ticking, and everyday hunters and anglers still have a chance to make their voices heard. If you care about clean water, public land access, and protecting wild places for future generations, this is a conversation you need to hear.Links to take action, including Save the Boundary Waters, are included below.Act Now Here: http://bit.ly/SpeakUpForTheBWCASportsmen for the Boundary Waters: https://sportsmenbwca.org/Save the Boundary Waters: https://www.savetheboundarywaters.org/00:00 Why the Boundary Waters matters beyond Minnesota01:00 Introduction to Lukas Leaf and Sportsmen for the Boundary Waters03:30 Lukas' upbringing and connection to the Boundary Waters05:55 What is actually happening with mining proposals09:45 Why this is a sportsmen's issue, not just environmental13:00 Why sulfide mining near water always leads to pollution17:15 Cascade effects and real world conservation examples21:45 Economic myths versus reality in the Boundary Waters25:10 Who benefits and who pays the long term cost27:30 How this sets precedent for other public lands30:05 What everyday hunters and anglers can do right now34:30 What we want future generations to remember36:00 Final call to action and where to get involved#BoundaryWaters #BoundaryWatersCanoeAreaWilderness #SportsmenForTheBoundaryWaters #SaveTheBoundaryWaters #PublicLands #PublicLandConservation #MiningNearWilderness #SulfideMining #EnvironmentalPolicyPodcast #HuntingAndConservation #PublicLandAccess #ConservationPodcast #OutdoorAdvocacyPodcast #GrassrootsConservation #WildernessProtection #WildLifeOutdoorsPodcast #HuntersProtectingPublicLands #AnglersForConservation #PublicLandsPodcast #WildLifeOutdoors #BWCA #OutdoorPodcast #HuntersForConservation #EnvironmentalPolicy #ProtectPublicLands #OutdoorAdvocacy #CleanWater #WildernessEthics

In episode 105, we finally get the stream dialed and dive straight into hands‑on Bitcoin mining and open-source hardware updates. We share the latest on Ember One: a sneaky IO voltage domain bug uncovered by Mujina dev Ryan led to a desk‑side hardware fix that's now pushing ~2 TH/s (target is 3.6 TH/s across 12 chips with proper cooling). We unpack chip and hashboard design lore—from stacked voltage domains and reliability in long chains to the insider politics at big silicon shops like Intel. We talk why selling chips openly matters, how spec sheets unlock real builder momentum, and why third‑party system builders (think Epic Blockchain) can grease the skids between chipmakers and end products.We cover Mujina's trajectory toward a universal, Linux‑first, open firmware for miners—auto‑detect dreams vs config realities—and near‑term support for Ember One's Intel boards and existing Antminers. We riff on home‑miner UX, remote monitoring, and agent/LLM tooling (cron‑job‑with‑superpowers, heartbeats, MCP integrations) to tune, alert, and manage miners. There's buzz around FutureBit's Apollo 3 (likely Auradine chips), open vs lawyered licenses, and the path from FPGA teaching rigs to community‑designed ASICs. We celebrate community hashing on the 256F HydroPool hash‑dash, solo‑block wins, and Heat Punk Summit prep (immersion hot tub included). Plus, a call to action: support developer freedom at change.org/billandkeonne. It's a dense, builder‑first session on chips, firmware, agents, and bringing practical hashrate‑heat products to life.

My guest today is Carla Kaplan, the author of Troublemaker: The Fierce, Unruly Life of Jessica Mitford (Harper, 2025). In Troublemaker, Kaplan tells the wild and unlikely story of Jessica Mitford, fifth of the six famous Mitford Girls, a British aristocrat-turned-American Communist, famous for exposés like The American Way of Death. This biography brings her astonishing self-transformation to life with a riveting, often hilarious account of trading wealth and status for a life of radical activism. Jessica Mitford, always known as Decca, was brought up by an eccentric English family to marry well and reproduce her wealth and privilege, not to advocate for the rights of others. Decca ran away to America to forge a rebel's life. As this richly researched book details, Decca broke the Mitford mold. Instead of settling for life as a professional Beauty, she fought fascism in the Spanish Civil War, became an American Communist and pioneered witty, hugely popular journalism, including her 1963 blockbuster The American Way of Death. Decca dedicated her life to social justice and proved herself an immensely effective ally, but she also injected laughter into all her political work, annoying some activists with her relentless antics but encouraging many others to find joy in the struggle. Mining extensive, untapped sources, and with nearly fifty new interviews, Kaplan's passionate biography beautifully illuminates how Decca's hard-won and self-taught social empathy offers a powerful example of female freedom, the dramatic, novelistic story of an extraordinary woman of her time who is remarkably relevant and resonant today. Carla Kaplan is an award-winning professor and writer who holds the Stanton W. and Elisabeth K. Davis Distinguished Professorship in American Literature at Northeastern University. She has published seven books, including Zora Neale Hurston: A Life in Letters and Miss Anne in Harlem: The White Women of the Black Renaissance, both New York Times Notable Books. A recipient of Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Humanities “Public Scholar” fellowships, Kaplan has been a fellow in residence at the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and the W. E. B. Du Bois Research Institute; is a fellow of the Society of American Historians; and serves on the board of Biographers International. She divides her time between Boston and Cape Cod.

Interview with Diane R. Garrett, President & CEO of Hycroft MiningOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/hycroft-mining-nasdaqhymc-nevada-giant-eliminates-debt-targets-2026-production-milestone-8914Recording date: 18th February 2026Hycroft Mining (Nasdaq: HYMC) has published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate confirming 55% growth in Measured and Indicated gold and silver resources at its Hycroft Mine in Winnemucca, Nevada. The deposit now stands at 16.4 million gold ounces and 562.6 million silver ounces in the M+I category, with inferred resources of a further 5.0 million gold ounces and 132.8 million silver ounces. The MRE was prepared by independent third parties and is based on commodity prices of US$3,100/oz gold and US$36/oz silver.The update incorporates results from 70 drill holes and reflects a geological reinterpretation that has fundamentally changed how management and institutional investors view the asset. In late 2023, Hycroft announced the discovery of two new high-grade silver systems, Brimstone and Vortex, within the existing resource footprint. After just 14 months of drilling, those systems have already yielded an initial high-grade M+I silver resource of 90.2 million ounces. Critically, both systems remain open along strike and at depth, and no results from the current 2025-2026 drill programme are yet incorporated into the MRE.Metallurgical test work using Pressure Oxidation has confirmed recoveries of 83% for gold and 78% for silver - robust figures for a refractory sulfide deposit and a key de-risking milestone ahead of a feasibility study. The company is also evaluating a roasting alternative that could convert a processing cost into a by-product revenue stream through sulfuric acid production.Financially, Hycroft is well-positioned to execute. The company holds approximately US$200 million in cash with zero debt, following the retirement of legacy liabilities in October 2024. The institutional shareholder base, led by Eric Sprott at 43%, with BlackRock, Schroders, and Franklin Templeton also on the register, reflects sustained conviction in the long-term thesis. Project economics on the large-scale operation are expected by end of Q1 2026, with an underground mining assessment of the high-grade systems also underway.—View Hycroft Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/hycroft-mining-holding-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Let's say we are unethical people, trying to get ahead in academia and gain accolades for the sake of promotion and income and so forth. In an age where artificial intelligence and LLMs are entering the academic enterprise, has "cheating" changed?

A fast-track consent is currently being sought for a major gold mine in Cromwell, Central Otago.  This follows the approval of a controversial $8 billion dollar mine that received fast-track approval for the Coromandel in December.  Local response has largely presented environmental concerns, and raise questions of alternative initiatives for mineral mining in Aotearoa.  Producer Jasmine Gray spoke to Sue Coutts, Director of External Affairs at Zero Waste Aotearoa, about the potential of e-waste and a circular economy for mining gold and other materials.

Jordan Rusche, Founder of Mining Stock Monkey, joins me for an in-depth and nuanced discussion on the recent gold and silver price volatility, his approach to valuing precious metals mining stocks and royalty companies; along with which companies he is actively trading in his portfolio.   We start out reviewing where we are in this precious metals cycle, with Jordan pointing out that most prior bull markets lasted 7-10 years.  He highlights that the gold price has been heading higher ever since its major bottom at $1045 back in December of 2015: “We are 10 years into this gold bull market already. That might suggest that we're getting towards the end of things…. However, if the US dollar keeps heading lower, towards 0, then upside in how high the silver and gold prices can go is infinite.” When asked if the move to triple digit silver was the blow off top, or if we'll see silver back over $100 in this cycle – Jordan reiterated that he still believes we'll see higher metals prices before this bull market runs its course.     Next we shifted over to some of the valuations in the gold producers in his portfolio. He still will look at each company though the lens of spot gold and silver pricing, but also will present his subscribers with a more conservative case using $50 silver and $4,000 gold. Jordan breaks down why he likes larger producers with growth on tap, highlighting the fundamental growth factors for Equinox Gold. We discuss why he recently sold half his shares in B2Gold, due to the increasing risk profile and potential for disappointing market guidance in the near-term.   Wrapping up we dive into some of the valuations he is looking at with regards to both the smaller and larger royalty companies, and why he is generally favoring the larger royalty and streaming companies.   Initially we unpack the many advantages that the royalty and streaming companies have over traditional mining companies, and why can participate in long-term value creation, and pull back less during corrective moves. He mentions that over a year ago he was more constructive on valuations of the smaller to mid-sized royalty companies, until they have since moved up to levels that seem more fairly valued, or even overvalued. He wants to focus on royalty and streaming companies that can aggressively reinvest revenues in growth, and many of the junior companies use up large percentages of revenues and free cash flows paying general and administrative expenses, giving them less capital to invest in new acquisitions. He discusses why he issued a sell alert recently to his subscribers with regards to the price-adjusted risk in Orogen Royalties, with regards to its valuation before it corrected down.  In contrast larger companies like Franco Nevada, Wheaton PMs, and Royal Gold pay their G&A out of just 2%-3% of their incoming revenues, with a big portion funded by just the interest made on cash on their balance sheets. Jordan highlights some large recent very large transactions executed by Royal Gold, Wheaton PMs, and Triple Flag as the kinds of value accretive growth that he is attracted to in the senior companies in this sector.   Jordan is extending a limited-time offer to KE Report listeners for those that would like to be become new Mining Stock Monkey subscribers.  Claim Your 10% Discount!

Interview with Richard Young, President & CEO of i-80 Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/i-80-gold-tsxiau-from-50k-to-600k-oz-annually-in-nevada-miners-six-year-transformation-8964Recording date: 13th February 2026i-80 Gold has completed a $500 million non-dilutive financing package that eliminates a longstanding capital structure overhang and provides the certainty required to advance its three-phase Nevada development plan. The transaction, expected to close by the end of Q1 2026, positions the company to execute across multiple underground mining projects without shareholder dilution.The financing comprises two equal $250 million tranches. Franco-Nevada contributed the first portion through a royalty structure beginning at 1.5% across the portfolio through 2030, escalating to 3% from 2031 onward as production scales. The second tranche consists of a prepaid facility with National Bank and Macquarie Bank, with i-80 Gold pre-selling approximately 40,000 ounces at a net realized price of $3,750 per ounce over a 30-month delivery period.CEO Richard Young emphasized the competitive dynamics that shaped favorable terms, noting the company received five term sheets and three committed offers. This competition proved crucial for securing covenant flexibility rather than pricing optimization, including provisions for working capital facilities and operational adaptability during the production ramp.The financing enables immediate strategic priorities across the portfolio. Granite Creek Underground, currently the company's sole operating mine, processes ore through third-party toll milling that costs $1,000-1,500 per ounce in margin leakage. The Lone Tree autoclave refurbishment, targeted for completion by end of 2027, will eliminate this dependency and capture those margins internally as the second underground mine ramps production through 2026.Most significantly, the package accelerates Mineral Point, the flagship asset and largest resource base. Management allocated $50 million specifically for 2026 resource expansion, pre-feasibility engineering, and initial permitting—work previously deferred pending financing certainty. Young stated that Mineral Point represents the company's most valuable asset, making earlier production timing critical for shareholder value.At current gold prices above $5,000 per ounce, management projects full funding across all three development phases without equity issuance, with potential incremental debt limited to a lower-cost revolving facility. Key 2026-2027 milestones include feasibility studies for Granite Creek and Cove, Archimedes Phase 4 results, and Mineral Point pre-feasibility work.View i-80 Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/i-80-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Episode 316 of The Business Development Podcast features Aaron Lambert, mining technology innovator and founder of RIINO, a company developing a modular electric rail haulage system designed to transform how mines move rock, equipment, and eventually people. Aaron takes us deep into modern mining, explaining how underground operations have evolved, why development has become slower and more expensive over time, and how safety, logistics, and economics are constantly in tension.We then explore the RIINO breakthrough. Aaron explains why moving rock is one of the most expensive parts of mining, why rail is the most energy efficient method of transport, and how RIINO is engineering a hybrid electric system capable of operating on incline while integrating both grid power and onboard batteries. He also shares the entrepreneurial journey behind building deep tech from scratch, collaborating with industry leaders, navigating funding and grants, and pushing forward through uncertainty to turn a bold idea into a real world pilot with global potential.Check out this incredible mining technology! www.riino.comKey Takeaways: Mining becomes a completely different world once you are inside it, with its own language, realities, and way of operating.Modern mining is safer than decades ago, but underground work is still dangerous and seismic events can happen without warning.The way mines are built is shaped by the tools available, and bigger equipment often forces bigger tunnels, more ground support, and higher costs.In some regions, mines were being developed faster 20 years ago because smaller equipment and smaller tunnels allowed quicker progress.Mining is fundamentally a logistics game, and moving rock is one of the most expensive parts of the entire operation.Rail is the most efficient means of transportation for heavy material, which is why RIINO is built around electric rail haulage.RIINO is combining proven tech from outside mining, like electrified transit concepts, and adapting it to mine conditions with a system that can climb inclines using traction solutions beyond steel on steel.If you are building something that has never been done, there is no single right answer, and the product you start with will not be the product you finish with.The real path of entrepreneurship is not linear, and the only way through is one step at a time, adapting constantly, and not quitting when the plan changes.Big innovations require deep collaboration, a support network, and partners who believe in the purpose and help shape the system so it actually works in the real world.This episode is proudly brought to you by Hypervac Technologies, North America's leading vacuum truck manufacturer.Hypervac doesn't just build equipment.

Interview with Nolan Peterson, CEO of Atlas SaltOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/atlas-salt-tsxvsalt-developer-targets-north-americas-30-40-de-icing-salt-supply-gap-8975Recording date: 5th February 2026North America faces a growing crisis in road salt supply that most investors have overlooked. While the US$26 billion global salt market operates largely beneath public awareness, severe winter weather across the northeastern United States and Canada has exposed a structural deficit that has persisted for decades. Atlas Salt (TSXV:SALT) is developing the Great Atlantic Salt Project in western Newfoundland—the continent's first new salt mine in nearly 30 years—to address this critical infrastructure gap.The North American deicing road salt market imports 8-10 million tons annually to meet demand that domestic production cannot satisfy. Existing mines date predominantly from the mid-20th century, with operations beginning between 1906 and 1982. These aging facilities operate at depths of 500-600 meters, often beneath lakes, requiring high operating costs and substantial capital expenditures. Regulatory challenges and thin historical margins have prevented new mine development despite growing demand from population growth, expanded road networks, and increased vehicle numbers.Atlas Salt's competitive advantage stems from its shallow 200-meter deposit depth, which allows access via horizontal drift rather than expensive vertical shaft construction. Located just three kilometers from an existing port facility, the project gains direct access to Atlantic Ocean shipping lanes and the eastern seaboard market. The simplified production process requires only mechanical crushing of 96% grade salt—no chemical processing, tailings, or refining—enabling two-month environmental assessment approval.At full production capacity of 4 million tons annually, Atlas would need to capture only 30-40% of current import volumes, targeting non-cyclical government customers legally mandated to purchase salt for road safety. The market's inelastic demand was demonstrated in January 2026 when Ontario spot prices surged from $65-75 per ton to over $190 during severe winter conditions. CEO Nolan Peterson emphasizes the dual investment appeal: "We are working with lenders who view this as investing into an airport or power plant—something that has long-term sales baked in because you're selling your product to governments, citizens and people."View Atlas Salt's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/atlas-saltSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Send a textWhat if your dealership stopped reacting to problems and started predicting opportunity? We sat down with Mets and Nick, the team behind a from-scratch dealer management platform, to trace how a human-centered CRM evolved into a scalable DMS and where AI now multiplies the impact. The throughline is simple and bold: technology should fit the business, not the other way around—and clean signals beat crowded screens.We walk through the early missteps and course corrections that every tech leader will recognize: rebuilding the stack to something future-proof and hireable, resisting feature bloat, and prioritizing role-specific views so parts, service, and sales see only what they need. From there the conversation shifts to the power of triggers. Think: the buyer who always orders every two weeks but has gone silent, the fleet that hits a three-year mark, the prospect who clicks a high-value email at 10 p.m. With disciplined data capture—site behavior, email engagement, telematics, service milestones—AI can surface these moments automatically and route them to the right person at the right time.We also tackle the cultural roadblocks. Dealers will approve a multimillion-dollar machine in a heartbeat but hesitate to invest five figures in software that guarantees faster quotes and same-day invoicing. Yet this is where ROI hides: shaving clicks off the parts counter, auto-alerting sales to strong intent, turning completed jobs into instant, accurate bills. As sensor data grows, AI helps redefine what “best operator” means by weighing idle time, safety, maintenance, weather, and job complexity, not just output. Roles evolve too—analysts curate data quality and validate model insights while frontline teams act on event-driven queues instead of chasing stale lists.If you've wondered how to go from dashboards to decisions, this conversation lays out a practical path: start with foundations, capture the right signals with consent, let AI find patterns, and make it effortless to act. Your brand and territory are strengths; pairing them with proactive, data-led workflows is the competitive edge. Enjoy the episode, then subscribe, share with a colleague who still lives in spreadsheets, and leave a review telling us the first workflow you'd automate.

In Episode 232 of the Payne Points of Wealth, Ryan and Chris Payne sit down with two industry heavyweights leading the charge in America's critical minerals resurgence: Gary Evans, Chairman & CEO of United States Antimony Corporation (UAMY), and Paul Huet, Chairman & CEO of Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (USAS). In one of the most energetic and eye‑opening conversations we've ever hosted, Gary and Paul reveal how their newly announced joint venture is poised to reshape U.S. supply chains for antimony—a mineral essential for defense, electrification, battery technology, solar, and the rapidly expanding AI-driven economy. Together, they walk us through: The global silver shortage – why the world has been undersupplied by 200 million ounces per year for five straight years, and why silver under $50 may be gone forever. A behind-the-scenes look at their 30‑day whirlwind deal – how two American companies moved faster than anyone expected to launch a first‑of‑its‑kind U.S. antimony processing partnership. Why this may be the beginning of a commodity super-cycle – and why mining equities may still be dramatically undervalued even after silver's massive run. How U.S. companies are racing to reduce dependence on China – from Project Vault to new domestic refining technologies. Reviving Idaho's historic Silver Valley – including upgrading decades-old mines, modernizing extraction methods, tripling output, and unlocking a 100‑year district. The real bottleneck in critical minerals – not technology, but feedstock, and why partnerships like this could become the new template. The role of defense spending, allies, and national security in America's next industrial revolution. Stories from decades in mining, deal-making, and global operations, including Gary's wild experiences sourcing antimony around the world, and Paul's journey from underground driller in Canada to CEO. Plus, Paul shares the song that changed his worldview growing up and tells the unbelievable story behind his mining tattoos and how he ended up running some of the top mining companies globally. This episode is fast-paced, loaded with insights, and captures a moment that could shape America's mineral independence for decades to come. If you care about how commodities can play a vital role in your investment portfolio, national security, or the future of U.S. manufacturing, this is a must-listen.

Interview with Paul Huet, Chairman & CEO of Americas Gold & Silver (TSXV:USA)Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/americas-gold-silver-tsxusa-executing-on-growth-strategy-across-idaho-silver-complex-9036Recording date: 11th February 2026Americas Gold & Silver Corporation (NYSE American: USAS | TSX: USA) has signed a definitive joint venture agreement with United States Antimony (NYSE American: UAMY) to construct and operate an antimony processing facility at its Galena Complex in Idaho's Silver Valley. The deal is designed to solve a specific economic problem: Americas is already the largest antimony producer in the United States, but under its existing offtake arrangements, the company receives only a fraction of the prevailing market price for the antimony contained in its silver concentrate. CEO Paul Huet estimates this leaves $50–$70 million on the table over the next two years at current prices.The JV creates a vertically integrated, fully domestic antimony supply chain from mine to finished product. Americas holds 51% ownership and provides the feed material and permitted site. US Antimony holds 49% and contributes its processing technology, construction expertise, and existing Department of War supply agreements reportedly worth $245 million. The facility is estimated to cost approximately $50 million, with capital split proportionally, and both companies have submitted a joint white paper seeking federal funding under the Trump administration's $12 billion Project Vault critical minerals initiative.For investors, the value proposition is straightforward. Americas produced 561,000 pounds of antimony in 2025 as a by-product of silver mining, meaning its marginal cost of antimony production is effectively zero. Once the facility is operational, the company will receive full market-price payments for its feedstock plus 51% of downstream processing profits. With antimony prices at approximately $15 per pound, government stockpiling initiatives providing demand visibility, and production volumes expected to grow as Americas transitions to mining higher-grade tetrahedrite ore, the JV represents a potentially significant new revenue stream layered on top of the company's core silver growth strategy.—Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/americas-gold-silver-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode, we chat with Jeremy Gillis, Director of Capital Markets at Sendero Resources, a junior exploration company focused on unlocking the vast mineral potential in Argentina. We dig into how truly differentiated opportunities are identified at the earliest stages, and why strong marketing can never compensate for weak fundamentals. Jeremy shares why capital structure is often the silent killer of otherwise good projects, why people matter more than rocks in early-stage companies, and why disciplined capital allocation is especially critical for non-cash-flowing explorers. We also explore why Sendero is not just a “closeology” story. From integrated data and system-level thinking to local knowledge, stakeholder alignment, and jurisdictional risk, this is a discussion about mining projects viewed through the lens of operators—not just explorers. We'll talk about balancing discovery upside with a clear path to development and exit, what Sendero is doing differently with data integration, and how experience on the ground changes outcomes. KEY TAKEAWAYS Projects with well-utilised data significantly increase the chances of making successful discoveries, while poor data can lead to misguided efforts and wasted resources. Building relationships with local stakeholders, including governments and communities, can facilitate smoother operations and project advancement. Poor capital structures can hinder growth and lead to significant challenges, especially in a market where every dollar raised must be carefully managed. In the early stages of mining exploration, the expertise and experience of the team are often more critical than the geological potential of the site BEST MOMENTS "In a very crowded market of 1,700 companies, not just being dependent upon metal prices has sort of set us apart." "If you know what to do with data... you are building a pathway to finding something." "The rocks are exceptional. Now, the government... has certainly made strides. There is a mining pedigree there." "If you have an idea... you could waste a lot of money."

Hear from Julie Calkins, Director of Sustainability Strategy at Generation Investment Management, as we explore how interconnected risks spanning climate, nature, inequality and AI challenge traditional approaches to risk and return. In investing, we spend a lot of time debating alpha — what gives one portfolio an edge over another. But increasingly, the bigger question is about beta, and the underlying conditions that make any returns possible in the first place. And here we can think about a stable climate, nature as infrastructure and even social cohesion and functioning institutions. Because when those foundations erode, risk stops looking like a set of isolated exposures, and starts to look like something deeper – perhaps systemic instability, cascading impacts, and rising uncertainty that no single firm can diversify away. That's why in this episode we explore: ·        Why some investors are starting to think more seriously about "protecting the beta", and what that means for portfolio risk and long-term resilience; ·        How nature risk, climate risk, and inequality interact — with inequality not only as an outcome of shocks, but as a potential driver of fragility and political instability; ·        And the tools that can help risk professionals make complex, interconnected risks more legible from scenario modelling to frameworks that build a shared language inside organisations.  ----------------  To find out more about the Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certificate, follow this link: https://www.garp.org/scr For more information on climate risk, visit GARP's Global Sustainability and Climate Risk Resource Centre: https://www.garp.org/sustainability-climate If you have any questions, thoughts, or feedback regarding this podcast series, we would love to hear from you at: climateriskpodcast@garp.com ------------------ Speaker's Bio Julie Calkins, Director of Sustainability Strategy at Generation Investment Management Julie Calkins serves as the Director of Sustainability Strategy at Generation Investment Management since April 2022.

Recording date: 6th February 2026The precious metals and mining sector experienced notable volatility in early February 2026, but institutional investors view the pullback as a tactical opportunity rather than a fundamental shift in market dynamics. Derek Macpherson, Executive Chairman, and Samuel Pelaez, President and CEO of Olive Resource Capital, characterize the recent correction as a normal return to established trend lines following an extended rally.The turbulence stems from temporary liquidity withdrawal by the Treasury Department and seasonal factors, particularly the Chinese New Year in mid-February, which historically coincides with reduced market participation and liquidity drawdowns. However, key global liquidity risk indicators—including option-adjusted spreads and high yield bond indices—show no systemic concerns. The Treasury Department is expected to provide net liquidity throughout 2026, while March and April historically represent strong months for commodities.Stabilizing valuations have unlocked significant M&A activity after a volatile January rally made share-exchange negotiations impractical. Three transactions highlight evolving sector dynamics:Eldorado Gold surprised markets by acquiring Foran Mining's zinc-copper project at zero premium to the previous Friday close. The move raises strategic questions as the gold-focused producer diversifies into base metals during a strong gold bull market, though the permitted mine expected to produce later in 2026 will boost cash flow.Goldsky Resources completed a transformative acquisition of full control over the Barsele deposit in Sweden from Agnico Eagle, consolidating nearly 2 million ounces. The transaction elevates Goldsky from explorer to tier-one developer with a market capitalization under $1 billion, suggesting substantial re-rating potential.CANEX Metals secured 51.93% of Great Basin Resources through a hostile takeover, positioning the company to transform a 1.5-2 million ounce Arizona asset currently in cease trade. Strong financial backing including Eric Sprott provides capital to address anticipated issues.For investors, the environment favors selective accumulation in quality names and transformation stories with defined catalysts, emphasizing jurisdiction quality, asset scale, and capital access.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Francis Macdonald, Director & CEO of Li-FT Power Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/li-ft-power-tsxvlift-commits-7m-to-environmental-studies-for-50m-ton-lithium-project-7632Recording date: 6th February 2026Li-FT Power (TSXV:LIFT) has positioned itself at the forefront of North America's lithium sector through strategic consolidation, executing its acquisition of Winsome's Adina project as spodumene prices rebound from a 2.5-year downturn. CEO Francis MacDonald reports lithium prices have tripled from $600 per ton in July 2025 to nearly $2,000 per ton, signaling what the company believes is the early stage of an 18-24 month bull cycle.The Adina transaction addresses a critical development constraint that had artificially limited the project's potential. A claim boundary bisected the deposit, preventing Winsome from optimizing pit design across its 78 million ton resource estimate—only 35 million tons could be incorporated into preliminary mine plans. Li-FT Power had strategically acquired the southern claims before announcing the transaction, enabling complete consolidation that MacDonald expects will unlock 80-100+ million tons of resource, positioning Adina among North America's largest hard rock lithium deposits.The transaction was announced alongside $48 million in financing led by Avenir Minerals, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agnico Eagle, at $4.30 per share—a price that subsequently doubled to over $9 as lithium sentiment strengthened. Combined with existing equity positions, the company now holds approximately $75 million to fund aggressive 2026-2027 technical programs across both its Adina and Yellowknife flagship projects.MacDonald emphasizes the importance of cyclical timing, noting that strategic acquisitions should occur during market downturns when valuations are depressed. "We saw prices starting to fall in January of 2023. And so, it was really a falling or a flat price environment for 2.5 years," he explains, adding that volatility becomes advantageous when positioned correctly within the cycle.The company plans 50,000 meters of drilling at Adina in 2026 to support a feasibility study targeted for 2027, while concurrent drilling at Yellowknife aims to expand its existing 50 million ton resource base. At the anticipated 80-100 million ton scale, MacDonald argues Adina could justify throughput rates of 4-5 million tons per year, significantly larger than typical 2 million ton per year lithium operations and improving project economics through economies of scale.View Li-FT Power's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/li-ft-power-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Darren Bowden, CEO of Metals Exploration PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/metals-exploration-lsemtl-nicaragua-build-on-track-dupax-abra-targets-add-long-term-upside-8132Recording date: 4th February 2026Metals Exploration, the AIM-listed gold producer, is executing a strategic transformation that will more than double its annual production to 140,000 ounces by 2027 through its La India project in Nicaragua. CEO Darren Bowden outlined the company's ambitious growth trajectory as construction proceeds ahead of schedule and within its revised budget parameters.The company currently operates the Runruno mine in the Philippines, which is expected to produce approximately 55,000 ounces in 2026 before exhausting its reserves in December. However, cash flow from this operation is fully funding the development of La India without requiring significant equity dilution—a commitment management has emphasized to shareholders.La India represents a substantial upgrade to Metals Exploration's production profile. The project will transition the company from open-pit to underground mining at higher grades and lower costs, with initial production targeting just over 100,000 ounces in 2027, ramping to 140,000 ounces as underground operations commence. The deposit contains 2.4 million ounces of resources supporting a 12-15 year mine life, with significant exploration upside across multiple epithermal vein systems.Construction progress remains robust, with the company ending 2025 with $45 million in cash and all major capital expenditures committed. Management expects to generate over $100 million in free cash flow from Runruno operations, comfortably covering the remaining $90 million required to complete La India. The critical path centers on electrical infrastructure connections, while mechanical and steel erection work proceeds smoothly.Beyond La India, Metals Exploration is actively pursuing construction-ready assets in Central America and Asia where its processing plant and experienced construction team can be redeployed following Runruno's closure. With a market capitalization exceeding £400 million and strong cash generation, the company is positioned to pursue opportunities in jurisdictions where other operators remain reluctant, leveraging direct government relationships and proven execution capabilities to access quality assets at attractive valuations.View Metals Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/metals-exploration-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Patrick Cruickshank, Director & CEO of Nine Mile MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/nine-mile-metals-csenine-vms-drilling-unlocks-expansion-potential-5410Recording date: 5th February 2026Nine Miles Metals (CSE: NINE) is emerging as a significant explorer in New Brunswick's Bathurst Mining Camp, controlling 140 square kilometers of continuous land across four volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) projects. Following a transformative year of advanced geophysical work, CEO Patrick Cruickshank has outlined an aggressive 2026 exploration strategy backed by recently completed $5.5 million financing providing two years of capital.The company's flagship Nine Mile Brook project hosts what Cruickshank describes as the highest-grade lens ever recorded in Bathurst: 12% copper, 38% lead-zinc, 1,200 grams per ton silver, and 2.4 grams per ton gold over 15 meters of solid mineralization. While these exceptional grades present processing challenges—the hybrid nature requires specialized milling solutions—the company is developing a unique bulk sample processing approach with updates expected shortly.The historic Wedge mine represents a different opportunity. This past-producing deposit operated by Caminco in the 1950s-60s was abandoned when its head pillar collapsed, leaving two-thirds of known mineralization in place. Recent drilling discovered an eastern extension with intercepts up to 134 meters, while a just-completed program tested depth and southwestern extensions with assays pending. Management targets proving 7-10 million tons at Wedge to reach economic thresholds.Nine Miles Metals' competitive edge lies in systematic application of modern technology. The company flew 1,400 line kilometers of UAV drone geophysics, identifying 11 new mineralized trends. This approach delivered an 80% drill success rate at California Lake East, hitting mineralization in eight of ten holes.With 185 million shares outstanding, reduced overhead ($300,000 annual savings from office relocation), and drilling costs of just $85-100 per meter in a jurisdiction offering 30-day permitting, the company is positioned to execute multiple 2026 catalysts: pending Wedge assays, April drilling resumption at both Nine Mile Brook and Wedge, and government-funded California Lake exploration—all while maintaining optionality for strategic partnerships or sector consolidation.View Nine Mile Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/nine-mile-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
