Podcasts about Mining

It can take more than 15 years to permit and build a new mine in the United States - yet nearly every modern technology we rely on, from smartphones to fighter jets to AI data centers, depends on a steady supply of critical minerals.In this episode, Erik Torenberg is joined in the studio by Turner Caldwell, founder of Mariana Minerals, along with American Dynamism general partner Erin Price-Wright and partner Ryan McEntush.Turner spent nearly a decade at Tesla, working his way upstream from factory design to battery materials and mining. Now, he's building a new kind of mining and refining company - vertically integrated and software-first- designed to meet the demands of our industrial future.We get into why the industry is so broken, what it actually takes to turn rocks into usable materials, and how the U.S. can rebuild its capacity to mine, refine, and manufacture the things that matter most. Timecodes: 00:00 Introduction to Critical Minerals00:45 The Importance of Mining in Modern Technology00:58 Meet Turner Caldwell and Marianna Minerals03:02 The Mining and Refining Process05:10 Challenges in the Mining Industry07:11 Turner's Journey from Tesla to Marianna15:31 The Role of AI and ML in Mining22:00 Geopolitical and Talent Pool Dynamics23:46 Challenges in Junior Mining Exploration25:30 Mariana's Product and Approach25:47 Leveraging Technology in Mining and Construction28:29 Optimizing Refining Processes with AI37:31 The Importance of Critical Minerals41:18 Permitting and Regulatory Challenges46:08 Future Strategies and International Expansion46:53 Conclusion and Future Outlook Resources: Find Turner on X :https://x.com/tbc415Find Erin on X: https://x.com/espricewrightFind Ryan on X: https://x.com/rmcentush Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Countries around the world, including the US, are rushing to secure critical mineral supply chains. As these essential resources, which are key to building clean energy infrastructure, become a major focus in policy and trade discussions, Latin America sits at the center of the competition. It is home to vast lithium reserves in the Lithium Triangle and it holds nearly 40% of the world's copper deposits.  But recent price volatility and geopolitical concerns have created new challenges. Early this month, President Trump announced a 50% tariff on copper imports, further jolting markets as copper prices jumped over 13% in a single day.  So how are countries in the region navigating these new trade and market realities? Can Latin America build mineral supply chains that are more resilient to geopolitical shocks? And how are these governments responding to the environmental and economic concerns of Indigenous and local communities? This week, Jason speaks with Juan Carlos Jobet, Tom Moerenhout, and Diego Rivera Rivota about Latin America's critical mineral supply chain. Juan Carlos is the dean of the School of Business and Economics at Adolfo Ibáñez University and Chile's former Minister of Energy and Mining and a former distinguished visiting fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy.  Tom leads the Critical Materials Initiative at the Center on Global Energy Policy and is a professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.  Diego is a senior research associate at the Center on Global Energy Policy.

He started Mining the Truth after a life marked by fear, legalism, addiction, and the crushing weight of trying to behave his way to heaven. When the wheels came off, he found what he'd been missing all along—a real gospel and the baptism of the Spirit. In this hope-filled episode, he shares how encountering God can look wildly different for each of us but always bears the same fruit: love.Learn more about Ray: https://www.miningthetruth.com/#new-pageLearn more about There is More: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thereismorecollective.com/Check Out Our Resources, including the Father's House Study, Go to Girls, and the Spiritual Warfare Workshop: https://thereismorecollective.com/resourcesGet 10% discount on Father's House Study with code: FH10Follow There is More Podcast on Instagram: @thereismorepodcastPartner With Us: ⁠⁠https://neveralonewidows.kindful.com/?campaign=1284937⁠

Anglo Asian Mining Plc vice president Stephen Westhead talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strong progress at the Demirli mine in Azerbaijan. Anglo Asian recently began production at the site, which Westhead described as a “cornerstone for our copper growth.” Demirli is part of a broader 74km² contract area awarded in 2022 and complements the larger Kyzlbulag area. The company gained access to the site in the second half of 2024 and has rapidly developed the infrastructure needed to commence operations. The mine is expected to produce around 4,000 tonnes of copper concentrate by the end of 2025, with that figure rising to 15,000 tonnes annually from 2026. Mining at Demirli is conducted via an open pit, with the ore transported by truck to a flotation plant that is undergoing staged upgrades. This development is a key part of Anglo Asian's broader strategy to transition from a junior gold producer into a mid-tier, copper-focused company. Westhead said the company's strategy includes the development of five mines—two of which, Gilar and Demirli, are already in production. Westhead also emphasised the importance of environmental responsibility, noting the recent completion of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for Demirli and an ESG rating from Digbee.

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

Interview with Troy Boisjoli, CEO of ATHA Energy Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/atha-energy-tsxvsask-maiden-drill-hole-success-validates-district-scale-uranium-potential-7358Recording date: 18th July 2025ATHA Energy's technical team has demonstrated exceptional discovery capabilities with consecutive high-grade uranium intersections at the Angilak project, validating their systematic exploration approach in Canada's previously untested Angikuni basin. The company's proven ability to translate geological theory into drill bit success positions it as a standout performer in the uranium exploration sector.*Proven Track Record of Discovery Excellence*The exploration team's methodical approach has yielded remarkable results, achieving mineralization in all three initial drill holes along the Rib 9 Iron trend over 400 meters of strike length. This 100% success rate demonstrates the team's ability to accurately target high-probability areas within a previously unexplored basin, a skill that distinguishes experienced explorers from speculative ventures.Led by CEO Troy Bojlet and supported by former Cameco personnel who brought the Cigar Lake mine into production, the team combines decades of Athabasca basin experience with cutting-edge exploration techniques. Their integrated approach utilizing structural geology, geochemistry, and advanced geophysics has compressed typical exploration timelines from years into months while maintaining discovery success.The team's expertise extends beyond individual discoveries to systematic regional understanding. Their comprehensive 12-month generative exploration program acquired extensive geophysical and geochemical data, creating three-dimensional models that accurately predicted drill hole intersections. This predictive capability reduces exploration risk while maximizing discovery potential across the expansive land package.*Technical Innovation Drives Results*ATHA Energy's technical team employs sophisticated modelling techniques, including Maxwell plate modelling of electromagnetic data, to create three-dimensional representations of conductive structures. This advanced approach enables precise targeting of graphitic fault zones that host uranium mineralization, significantly improving drilling efficiency and success rates.The team's ability to rapidly integrate real-time drilling observations with existing geological models allows for dynamic exploration decision-making. As CEO Bojlet explains: "Our understanding of the controls on mineralization here is evolving very rapidly. What would take years typically is being condensed into weeks and months." This accelerated learning curve translates directly into faster discovery timelines and reduced exploration costs.Their systematic de-risking methodology involves ground gravity and electromagnetic surveys before drilling, ensuring high-confidence targets before committing drill budgets. This disciplined approach has produced consistent results, with the recent Lac 50 expansion achieving mineralization in all 25 drill holes during the previous year's program.*Strategic Advantage Through Team Expertise*The team's deep understanding of uranium systems enables the identification of district-scale opportunities often missed by less experienced operators. Their recognition of structural controls across multiple target areas within the Angikuni basin demonstrates the ability to think beyond individual prospects toward comprehensive resource development.Former Cameco personnel bring practical mine development experience rarely found in exploration companies. This operational knowledge provides critical insight into what geological characteristics translate into economic deposits, ensuring exploration efforts focus on commercially viable targets rather than purely academic intersections.The team's proven ability to execute large-scale drilling programs efficiently positions ATHA Energy for accelerated exploration of the extensive Angikuni basin. With only five holes completed from a planned 10,000-meter program, the demonstrated discovery success creates compelling potential for continued value creation as drilling advances across multiple high-priority targets.ATHA Energy's technical team has established itself as a premier uranium exploration group through consistent discovery success, innovative targeting methodologies, and systematic approach to regional exploration. Their proven ability to deliver results in challenging exploration environments provides investors with confidence in continued value creation potential.—View ATHA Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/atha-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Niël Pretorius, CEO of DRDGOLD Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/drdgold-nysedrd-gold-recovery-from-historical-tailings-7131Recording date: 15th July 2025As gold prices reach unprecedented levels, DRD Gold CEO Niël Pretorius offers a compelling blueprint for mining leadership during turbulent market conditions. His approach combines conservative capital allocation with strategic opportunism, providing valuable lessons for the broader mining sector.Pretorius identifies a fundamental shift in gold market dynamics over the past four years, where sustained accumulation by non-Western central banks has created new price support mechanisms. This "counter dynamic" has helped gold rebase at higher levels, even during periods of Western market pessimism. For South African producers like DRD Gold, current conditions offer particular advantages through natural currency hedging—producing in rand while selling in US dollars creates what Pretorius calls "a double benefit."The CEO's capital allocation philosophy emphasizes dividend distribution and operational optimization over speculative expansion. "I believe that a business is there to generate cash flow," he states, advocating for full commodity price exposure rather than revenue protection strategies. This approach prioritizes sustainable growth through extending existing mine life by 18-20 years and modest production increases, rather than pursuing headline-grabbing acquisitions.Risk management remains central to Pretorius's strategy. Despite favorable market conditions, he maintains skepticism about price sustainability, advocating for accelerated capital investment while conditions remain favorable. "We know it can change overnight," he warns, emphasizing the importance of building resilience for future volatility.The CEO champions financial transparency, dismissing complex accounting metrics in favor of fundamental questions: profitability, debt levels, and capital coverage capability. His emphasis on practical indicators like insurance coverage demonstrates sophisticated risk assessment beyond traditional financial metrics.Pretorius's leadership philosophy reveals how successful mining executives balance opportunistic investment with conservative risk management, maintaining operational excellence while adapting to evolving market structures. His approach offers investors a framework for evaluating mining leadership quality during periods of unprecedented market conditions.View DRDGOLD's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/drdgold-limited Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Thomas Lamb, CEO of Myriad Uranium Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/us-uranium-sector-gains-under-pro-nuclear-push-7164Recording date: 15th July 2025Myriad Uranium Corp (CSE:M) has unveiled significant value enhancement at its flagship Copper Mountain project in Wyoming, where modern chemical assay techniques are revealing substantially higher uranium grades than historical measurements indicated. The discovery represents a major breakthrough for the company's 100+ million pound uranium potential.CEO Thomas Lamb announced that chemical assays have demonstrated an average 60% grade improvement over 1970s gamma probe measurements, with uranium intervals previously measuring 1,000 parts per million now averaging 1,600+ ppm. This enhancement stems from uranium disequilibrium effects that historical gamma probing methods failed to capture accurately.The Copper Mountain project benefits from extensive historical validation, built upon 2,000 boreholes drilled by Union Pacific in partnership with California Edison during the 1970s. Originally planned as a large-scale conventional uranium mine, the project encompasses seven distinct deposits plus 12-14 additional prospects. The US Department of Energy estimated the broader area could contain up to 200 million pounds of uranium.Beyond grade improvements, Copper Mountain offers exceptional metallurgical advantages. Historical testing demonstrated 90-95% uranium recovery rates using standard leaching techniques, with industry veterans describing the processing as remarkably simple.Myriad's portfolio includes the Red Basin project in New Mexico, featuring high-grade near-surface mineralization ranging from 0.17% to 0.31% uranium. The project sits within a basin the US Geological Survey believes contains up to 45 million pounds of uranium.The company's strategic positioning aligns with emerging uranium demand from technology companies. AI and data center expansion requirements are driving companies like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI to secure upstream uranium supplies, creating unprecedented sector interest.Myriad is currently processing 1,500 additional samples from recent drilling to further validate the disequilibrium advantages, with results expected to inform expanded resource estimates and development planning.View Myriad Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/myriad-uraniumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Stephen Hanson, President & CEO of Surface Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/acme-lithium-acme-despatches-from-the-lithium-front-line-3054Recording date: 14th July 2025Surface Metals (CSE:SUR), formerly Acme Lithium, has successfully executed a strategic transformation that positions the company for value creation across two critical commodity sectors. Under CEO Stephen Hanson's leadership, the company has pivoted from pure lithium exploration to gold development while maintaining its valuable lithium asset foundation.The strategic shift emerged from pragmatic market realities as lithium prices declined and EV demand slowed over the past 18 months. Rather than abandoning the long-term energy transition thesis, Hanson explained the rationale: "As a board and a management team we started to evaluate our assets and say listen we work for the shareholders. Creating shareholder value is my number one priority."The centerpiece of this transformation is the April 2025 acquisition of 90% of the Cimarron gold project in Nevada's renowned Walker Lane trend. Located just 14 miles from Kinross's Round Mountain mine, the property boasts impressive historical data from major companies including Newmont and Echo Bay. Historical intercepts include 26 meters of nearly 5 grams per ton gold, with surface samples reaching 120 grams per ton.The project benefits from Nevada's world-class mining jurisdiction and favorable geology, featuring a shallow epithermal system with mineralization extending to surface. This configuration offers significant cost advantages and exploration potential beyond the existing 50,000-ounce resource, with targets for expansion to over one million ounces.Surface Metals maintains its lithium portfolio as strategic foundation value, including a 300,000-ton lithium carbonate resource in Clayton Valley and successful partnerships like the Snow Lake Energy joint venture in Manitoba. With holding costs of only tens of thousands annually, the company can maintain these assets through market cycles.Trading at approximately $5 million Canadian market cap, Surface Metals offers investors dual commodity exposure at an attractive entry point. The company plans drilling at Cimarron by early 2026, following systematic database modernization and permitting processes that typically require 90-120 days in Nevada's streamlined regulatory environment.View Surface Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/acme-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Brendan Yurik, CEO of Electric Royalties Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/electric-royalties-tsx-v-elec-35-assets-approaching-revenue-potential-in-2025-6322Recording date: 11th July 2025The mining royalty sector is undergoing unprecedented transformation, driven by significant consolidation activity and the entrance of non-traditional capital sources that signal a potential turning point for the long-undervalued industry.The sector's landscape shifted dramatically with Royal Gold's $3.5 billion acquisition of Sandstorm Gold, bringing over 200 royalties under one umbrella and representing a 17 times cash flow multiple. This mega-deal exemplifies the current consolidation wave, with companies seeking diversification benefits through scale rather than single-asset exposure. The transaction contrasts sharply with Franco Nevada's $1 billion investment in the single Cobre Panama asset, highlighting different strategic approaches to risk management.Perhaps more intriguing is the emergence of alternative capital sources in mining investments. Tether, the digital asset company generating $45 billion in annual revenues, has made strategic investments in Elemental Altus, marking a significant departure from traditional mining finance. Similarly, the Pentagon's $400 million investment in Mountain Pass Rare Earths, providing a 10-year offtake agreement at a 70% premium, represents the first concrete sign of U.S. government action to secure critical mineral supply chains.These developments come amid a striking valuation disconnect in the mining sector. Despite metal prices doubling in many cases over recent years, mining valuations remain depressed while broader markets hit new highs. This gap is particularly pronounced among smaller royalty companies, where multiples of 8-12 times contrast with the 15-20 times commanded by larger players.The clean energy metals subsector presents particular opportunity, with companies like Electric Royalties positioning themselves as specialists in battery metals and critical minerals. With minimal competition compared to the crowded precious metals space, these companies benefit from supply scarcity and growing electrification demands.As governments and corporations increasingly recognize the strategic importance of domestic mineral supply chains, the royalty sector appears poised for significant revaluation, particularly for companies with exposure to critical metals essential for the energy transition.View Electric Royalties' company profile:  https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/electric-royaltiesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Tom Hickey, Managing Director, Kenmare ResourcesRecording date: 16th July 2025Kenmare Resources operates one of the world's most significant titanium dioxide mineral sands mines in Mozambique, establishing itself as the third-largest global producer of ilmenite, zircon, and rutile. With nearly 40 years of in-country presence and 20 years in production, the company's Moma mine represents a cornerstone investment in the critical minerals sector, backed by an extraordinary 80-90 year reserve life.The company is currently executing its largest capital investment program in history, allocating $340 million to relocate primary mining operations to the Nataka orebody, which contains 70% of total reserves. This strategic transition, including two new $66 million dredgers and enhanced processing capacity, is expected to increase production by 20% while eliminating long-standing capacity constraints. Managing Director Tom Hickey, who brings extensive natural resources experience from his tenure at Tullow Oil, describes this as "the final major investment required to secure the mine's long-term future."Despite challenging market conditions characterized by oversupply from Chinese concentrate producers, Kenmare maintains exceptional operational resilience. The company achieved 40% EBITDA margins in 2024, demonstrating the effectiveness of its cost optimization strategies and premium product positioning. Market consolidation works in Kenmare's favor, with one customer noting their supplier base contracted from eight to two over seven years, highlighting the value of established, reliable producers.The company's ESG credentials provide additional competitive advantages, with 95% renewable energy usage delivering products with exceptionally low carbon footprints. This positioning becomes increasingly valuable as industrial customers focus on supply chain sustainability.Post-capex completion in 2-3 years, Kenmare expects to generate substantial free cash flow, supporting dividend payments and potential shareholder returns. With strong government relationships in Mozambique and a conservative balance sheet carrying net debt of $80-85 million, the company offers investors exposure to a multi-generational asset in the essential materials sector during a cyclical market trough.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kenmare-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Jason Banducci, VP of Corporate Development & IR of Integra Resources Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/integra-resources-tsxvitr-nevada-gold-producer-targets-300k-oz-with-60m-war-chest-7268Recording date: 15th July 2025Jason Banducci serves as Vice President of Corporate Development and Investor Relations at Integra Resources, where he oversees business growth initiatives and maintains relationships with the investment community. His professional journey began at TD Bank in lending before pursuing an MBA at Queen's University, which led him to mining investment banking at GMP Securities (later acquired by Stiefel Financial). During his nearly five-year tenure in investment banking, he developed expertise in mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, and deal structuring that would prove invaluable in his current role.Banducci's connection to mining runs deep through his family, as his mother served as CFO of IAMGold for 15 years, exposing him early to the industry's potential and global impact. His transition to Integra Resources came through his work as an investment banker, where he helped former CEO Jason Kosec establish Millennial Precious Metals, raising $24 million for their TSX-V listing. The eventual merger of Millennial Precious Metals with Integra Resources brought Banducci into his current position.In his dual role, Banducci manages corporate development activities including due diligence, transaction structuring, and strategic acquisitions, while simultaneously handling investor relations responsibilities such as creating corporate materials, organizing conferences, and serving as the external face of the company. His most significant achievement has been spearheading Integra Resources' transformation from an exploration and development company to a producing gold company through the strategic acquisition of Florida Canyon mine from Alamos Gold's spin-off of Argonaut assets.This acquisition addressed the fundamental challenge facing development-stage mining companies: the constant need for equity financing due to lack of cash flow. The Florida Canyon mine now generates 15-20 million dollars in annual free cash flow, eliminating the need for regular equity raises and providing capital to advance the company's development projects, Delamar and Nevada North. Banducci views this strategic positioning in Nevada's mining-friendly jurisdiction as optimal for attracting investment capital, particularly given the current focus on geopolitical stability and simple, low-capital heap leach gold projects that appeal to investors seeking exposure to precious metals in stable jurisdictions.—View Integra Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/integra-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Dan Noone, CEO of G2 Goldfields Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gold-industry-leaders-confident-in-multi-year-bull-market-cycle-7179Recording date: 17th July 2025G2 Goldfields (TSX: GTWO) has emerged as a compelling takeover target following exceptional drilling results at its New Oko Discovery in Guyana and the strategic exit of AngloGold Ashanti from its 15% shareholding. The company's transformative drill results and cleared acquisition path have positioned it for a competitive sale process in Q4 2025.The New Oko Discovery, located 9 kilometers north of existing resources, has delivered some of the region's best drill results, with hole AMD30 intersecting 60 meters at 5.9 g/t Au, including a spectacular 22.5-meter section grading 9.3 g/t Au. These high-grade intersections demonstrate significant potential for underground mining scenarios and have substantially enhanced the company's resource profile.G2's combined resource base now stands at 3.1 million ounces at 3 grams per tonne across multiple zones. The company is targeting its first preliminary economic assessment (PEA) in Q4 2025, with internal studies suggesting the project could support approximately 350,000 ounces annual production, bringing it within acquisition criteria for most major gold companies.The recent disposal of AngloGold Ashanti's stake removes what many potential acquirers viewed as a blocking position. CEO Dan Noone noted that "having a corporate in there 15% is a bit of a double-edged sword," as other companies perceived it as an obstacle to transactions. The shares were successfully placed with two major European investors, demonstrating strong institutional interest.Management maintains strict discipline regarding strategic direction, planning to avoid the "builder trap" where exploration companies attempt project development themselves. The company's strategy centers on its core competency in exploration and discovery, with plans to initiate a competitive bidding process following PEA completion.G2's positioning aligns with broader gold sector consolidation trends, as major producers seek high-grade, near-term development opportunities in stable jurisdictions. The company's disciplined approach to reaching PEA stage before sale initiation positions it to capitalize on premium valuations driven by competitive acquisition dynamics.View G2 Goldfields' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/g2-goldfieldsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Send us a textThe digital revolution sweeping across our world seems ethereal, yet rests firmly on physical foundations that remain invisible to most of us. What powers artificial intelligence? Beyond the algorithms and code lies a material reality that shapes our present and future.Six critical raw materials form the backbone of our technological world. Sand—yes, that ubiquitous substance beneath our feet—provides silicon for our computer chips and glass for our screens, with high-quality sand becoming so scarce that Dubai imports it from Belgium despite being surrounded by desert. Salt drives the chemical industry producing everything from fertilizers to pharmaceuticals. Iron transformed into steel builds our physical infrastructure. Copper connects our digital devices. Oil continues to outproduce all renewable energy sources combined. And lithium, the "white gold" of the clean energy transition, powers batteries while its extraction damages fragile ecosystems.This material reality highlights a profound paradox: our rush toward a green, AI-powered future demands an explosion of mining activity that threatens the very environments we aim to protect. As wealthy nations promote digital transformation and clean energy, resource-rich developing nations bear the extraction burden. We stand at a critical juncture where our technological ambitions must be balanced with environmental sustainability and global equity. The future may indeed be green and digital, but it will still be mined—the question is who will pay the price and who will reap the rewards.Subscribe to our channel and join this ongoing conversation about the complex relationship between our physical and digital worlds.

Interview with Lon Shaver, President of Silvercorp Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/silver-demand-rises-as-supply-struggles-to-keep-pace-7082Recording date: 9th July 2025Silvercorp Metals presents a compelling investment opportunity as a proven silver producer positioned to capitalize on favorable market dynamics and structural shifts in silver demand. With nearly two decades of profitable operations in China, the company has demonstrated exceptional operational resilience, maintaining profitability and free cash flow generation even during challenging market conditions.The company's competitive advantage lies in its exceptionally low-cost production structure. With all-in sustaining costs (AISC) of just over $12 per ounce compared to current silver prices trading in the $35-36 range, Silvercorp generates substantial profit margins that provide significant cash generation capacity. This cost efficiency stems from mature operations and operational expertise developed over 20 years of continuous production.President Lon Shaver believes the silver market has entered "a new paradigm" where prices are "unlikely to trade below $30 and more likely to touch $40." This fundamental shift is driven by silver's dual nature as both a precious metal investment vehicle and critical industrial commodity. The convergence of traditional investment demand with accelerating industrial consumption creates multiple demand drivers supporting higher price levels.Silvercorp's growth strategy centers on disciplined geographic diversification while maintaining focus on precious metals production. The company is constructing a new mine in Ecuador, targeting production commencement in 2027. Crucially, this expansion is funded entirely through internally generated cash flows, avoiding shareholder dilution through equity raises. As Shaver explained, "We've built up this cash balance to be able to go out and grow the company, we are self-funding some initial growth programs."The company's financial strength provides strategic flexibility for opportunistic growth. Rather than pursuing aggressive expansion that could strain resources, Silvercorp has built substantial cash reserves from profitable operations. This approach reduces execution risk while maintaining financial flexibility for future opportunities in an industry where management describes the project pipeline as "skinny."Silver's industrial applications continue expanding across solar panels, electric vehicles, electronics, and renewable energy infrastructure. The metal's superior electrical and thermal properties make it irreplaceable in advanced technologies. Simultaneously, monetary policy uncertainty drives investment demand for precious metals, with silver offering accessible entry points compared to gold.Supply constraints compound favorable demand dynamics. New mine development faces increasing regulatory hurdles, extended permitting timelines, and technical challenges. Limited new supply additions benefit established producers like Silvercorp with proven operational capabilities and existing production capacity.Beyond the Ecuador project, Silvercorp maintains strategic optionality through its position in New Pacific Metals, providing exposure to silver growth assets in Bolivia. This structure allows participation in potential future production growth while limiting direct development risks.The silver mining sector's ongoing consolidation creates opportunities for larger, more efficient operators. Silvercorp's scale, operational expertise, and financial strength position it favorably as either a consolidator or strategic partner. The company's nearly two-decade track record of profitable operations across multiple market cycles demonstrates management expertise and operational resilience.For investors seeking exposure to silver's structural growth opportunity, Silvercorp offers established profitability, substantial profit margins, strategic growth initiatives, and financial strength. The combination of low-cost production, geographic diversification, and favorable market fundamentals positions the company to capitalize on what management views as a fundamental shift in silver pricing dynamics.View Silvercorp Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/silvercorp-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Matt Filgate, President & CEO of Greenlight Metals Inc.Recording date: 11th July 2025Greenlight Metals (TSXV:GRL) has emerged as the sole active mining explorer in Wisconsin, positioning itself to capitalize on unprecedented demand for domestic copper supply amid the Trump administration's aggressive trade policies. The company is focused on developing high-grade VMS copper deposits in Wisconsin's Penokean volcanic belt, a region that has been dormant for exploration since a 20-year mining moratorium ended in 2017.Under CEO Matt Filgate's leadership, Greenlight has secured the flagship Bend Project, which contains a 4.5 million ton historic resource grading 2% copper and 2.3 grams per ton gold. The company recently acquired critical private land adjacent to the original 330-meter strike length for approximately $250,000, unlocking significant expansion potential. Current drilling aims to grow this resource to 15-20 million tons while maintaining world-class grades.The strategic timing appears optimal as President Trump's announced 50% tariffs on imports create urgent demand for domestic copper supply. "With what's going on with Trump announcing these new 50% tariffs that are coming in on imports, they got to backfill that with domestic supply," Filgate explains. This policy shift, combined with electrification trends and infrastructure development, positions domestic copper projects as increasingly valuable.Wisconsin's regulatory environment has evolved favorably since the 2017 repeal of the mining moratorium and implementation of the Mining for America Act. The company maintains strong relationships with local regulators and government officials through strategically chosen board members, including Steve Donohue, who co-authored the state's mining legislation.Beyond Bend, Greenlight's portfolio includes the high-grade Lobo project, featuring historic intersections of 9 meters at 23% zinc, and several untested electromagnetic anomalies across the belt. With $2.8 million in current funding and a tight shareholder structure including institutional backing from Vestcor and Delbrook, the company is well-positioned to execute its discovery-focused strategy in this underexplored jurisdiction.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Joe David, Managing Director of Elementos Ltd.Recording date: 10th July 2025Elementos Limited (ASX:ELT) is positioning itself as a unique player in the critical minerals sector through its vertically integrated tin operation spanning from mine to metal production in Spain. The company's flagship Oropesa project in Andalusia has published a robust Definitive Feasibility Study demonstrating $270 million AUD NPV and 26% internal rate of return using conservative $30,000 per tonne tin pricing, well below current market levels around $33,000.The project's compelling economics stem from a differentiated vertical integration strategy. Elementos has secured a 50% option over a Spanish tin smelter located 220 kilometers from the mine site, enabling the company to capture European tin premiums of approximately $1,000 per tonne above London Metal Exchange prices. This integration transforms typical concentrate sales receiving 92-93% payables into 98-99% recovery through smelting, effectively making European smelting operations cost-neutral while accessing premium pricing.Managing Director Joe David emphasizes the strategic scarcity underlying the investment thesis: "The tin market is only 2% of the copper market... if you included every single tin development project that sit within listed companies on any of the exchanges worldwide, I think you can count them on two hands." This scarcity has intensified due to supply disruptions in Myanmar and reduced Chinese smelter utilization rates dropping to 50% from typical 70-80% levels.The company has made substantial permitting progress in mining-friendly Andalusia, which generates 90% of Spain's metallic mining revenue. Elementos is approaching the public exhibition phase, a significant de-risking milestone requiring regulatory confirmation of project feasibility. The recent Metals X investment provides funding runway while multiple parties across equity, debt, and offtake spectrums have engaged in discussions, reflecting strong commercial interest in the limited global tin development pipeline.Elementos' positioning aligns with the European Union's Critical Raw Materials Act and represents the only proposed vertically integrated primary tin operation in Europe, offering investors exposure to both structural tin supply deficits and Europe's strategic mineral security initiatives.View Elementos' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/elementos-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with James McDonald, President & CEO of Kootenay Silver Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/kootenay-silver-ktn-high-grade-mexican-silver-explorer-and-developerRecording date: 9th July 2025Kootenay Silver (TSXV:KTN) represents a compelling investment opportunity in the emerging silver bull market, combining proven management expertise with high-grade Mexican silver assets positioned for strategic acquisition. The company's recent maiden resource estimate at its flagship Columba project demonstrates institutional-quality assets with significant expansion potential.The 54 million ounce maiden resource at Columba, grading 284 g/t silver, establishes Kootenay Silver among the higher-grade silver developers globally. The resource concentration in three primary vein systems, particularly the D Vein containing over 30 million ounces across 1,200 meters of strike length, provides operational advantages for potential future mining scenarios. Combined with the company's broader portfolio exceeding 300 million ounces across multiple Mexican properties, this scale positions Kootenay Silver as a significant silver platform.Columba's geological setting within a preserved volcanic caldera provides exceptional exploration upside. The minimal surface erosion has preserved the vein system from top to bottom, while drilling has confirmed strong mineralization extending to 540 meters depth with potential for significantly greater vertical extent. The 4-kilometer by 3-kilometer vein system footprint compares favorably to established Mexican silver districts, suggesting district-scale potential.CEO James McDonald's experience co-founding Alamos Gold provides credibility for value creation. The Alamos success story—acquiring 2.2 million ounces for $12.5 million during the gold market bottom and achieving commercial production within six years—demonstrates management's ability to identify and develop undervalued assets. Kootenay Silver employs a similar strategy, advancing discoveries to preliminary economic assessment stage before selling to major mining companies, reducing capital requirements while maintaining upside exposure.The company's $20 million financing enables systematic resource expansion through 50,000 meters of drilling over 2025. The initial 30,000 meters target "low-hanging fruit" by expanding known mineralized zones, providing high-probability success and regular news flow. Management has identified clear milestones, targeting 100 million ounces to attract strategic interest, with serious acquisition discussions typically beginning around 75 million ounces.Kootenay Silver benefits from favorable silver market dynamics as prices break out from multi-year trading ranges. Supply constraints from declining ore grades and limited new discoveries combine with accelerating industrial demand from renewable energy, electric vehicles, and 5G infrastructure. Monetary demand intensifies as central banks maintain expansionary policies and geopolitical tensions drive diversification from traditional assets.Risk-Adjusted ReturnsThe company has de-risked key development factors through established surface access agreements, proximity to major infrastructure, and favorable political developments in Mexico. The drilling-focused strategy requires continued capital access, though the recent financing provides runway through 2025's critical expansion phase.Kootenay Silver offers investors leveraged exposure to silver's emerging bull market through a proven management team advancing high-grade assets toward strategic acquisition. The combination of exceptional resource quality, systematic development approach, and favorable market timing creates multiple pathways for value creation as the company advances toward the scale thresholds that attract major mining company interest.View Kootenay Silver's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kootenay-silver-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
