Interview with Paul Barrett, CEO of Rome ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rome-resources-lsermr-tin-resource-update-in-the-coming-months-6874Recording date: 29th April 2025Rome Resources (LSE) has announced the resumption of exploration drilling in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following improved security conditions in the region. CEO Paul Barrett confirmed that helicopter support has mobilized back to the country, with drilling operations expected to restart by the end of this week.The improved situation stems from M23 rebels retreating from the company's operational area back to the Kivu region, along with ongoing peace talks between Rwanda and DRC. While currently operating from Kisangani, the company plans to eventually return to Goma, which would streamline logistics with shorter helicopter flight times.Rome Resources is focusing exclusively on the Mont Agoma deposit, having already collected sufficient data from the Kalayi deposit. The strategic drilling program targets a specific data gap in the deeper part of Mont Agoma, based on their geological model suggesting increased tin grades at depth. The company also plans to drill exploratory holes on the southern fringe to determine the deposit's lateral extent.Mont Agoma represents a more complex opportunity than the pure tin Kalayi deposit, featuring additional copper and zinc mineralization. This multi-metal potential could provide significant value streams for the project, with the company exploring combined processing options for all three metals.A key near-term catalyst is the planned resource estimate expected by the end of May 2025, pending assay results from holes 24 and 26. The estimate will require independent verification to comply with AIM listing rules.Financially, Rome Resources maintains a strong position with $2.7 million in cash and a tightly controlled drilling budget of $1.6 million. The company operates with a lean structure, directing 90% of expenditures toward drilling activities.The company is also exploring collaboration opportunities with neighboring miner Alphamin for shared helicopter and fixed-wing facilities, potentially improving operational efficiency in the remote region.View Rome Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rome-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Paul Barrett, CEO of Rome ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rome-resources-lsermr-tin-explorer-races-toward-q1-2025-resource-debut-6781Recording date: 19th March 2025Rome Resources Ltd. has strategically paused its tin exploration drilling program in the Democratic Republic of Congo, having successfully completed the majority of its planned campaign ahead of schedule. This prudent operational decision comes with the company in an exceptionally strong position, having just completed two highly promising holes (MADD024 and MADD026) that revealed significant visible tin and copper mineralization, further validating the project's remarkable potential.CEO Paul Barrett highlighted the company's operational efficiency, confirming that samples from these final holes have already been securely transported to Kisangani for analysis, with results expected within 3-4 weeks - a critical near-term catalyst for the company. This timely completion of drilling activities positions Rome Resources to advance to the resource definition phase with minimal disruption to their strategic timeline.The company demonstrates exemplary financial stewardship, maintaining a robust treasury with over £2 million in cash reserves - an enviable position for a junior explorer. Management has implemented a disciplined capital management strategy during this transitional period, with plans to optimize operational expenditures by approximately 50%, further extending their financial runway while core value-creation activities continue uninterrupted.In a significant diplomatic breakthrough, the presidents of DRC and Rwanda recently convened in Doha, Qatar, to negotiate a comprehensive ceasefire agreement, which could create favourable conditions for operations to resume promptly. This positive regional development underscores the potential for a swift resolution to temporary security considerations.Rome Resources has demonstrated exceptional operational preparedness, having secured all on-site assets and maintained strategic relationships with drilling contractors through retainer arrangements, ensuring immediate mobilization capabilities when conditions permit. This forward-thinking approach highlights management's regional expertise and operational acumen.The company remains firmly on track to deliver a defining milestone - an inferred resource estimate for both the Kalayi and Mont Agoma prospects by late April or early May 2025. Barrett emphasized the substantial growth potential beyond this initial resource, noting that the Mont Agoma prospect "is open to the south in terms of the tin," indicating significant expansion opportunities in future drilling campaigns once operations resume.This combination of near-term resource definition, exceptional financial position, and clear expansion potential positions Rome Resources as a compelling opportunity in the critical minerals sector at a time when tin's importance in global technology and energy transition applications continues to accelerate.View Rome Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rome-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Paul Barrett, CEO, Rome ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rome-resources-lsermr-tin-explorer-targets-resource-estimate-in-q2-2025-6587Recording date: 28th of February, 2025Rome Resources, a junior mining company, is making significant progress in its tin exploration program in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The company is currently operating four drill rigs across its two main prospects: Kalayi, a pure tin deposit, and Mont Agoma, a polymetallic site containing copper, tin, and zinc.Recent drilling at Kalayi has revealed consistent tin grades that increase with depth, confirming the company's geological model. The mineralization is characterized by three steeply dipping tin intercepts with a relatively simple geometry. Drilling has reached depths of approximately 350 meters, with the potential for further exploration in the future.A significant milestone for Rome Resources is the planned release of maiden resource estimates for both prospects. The company expects to publish the Kalayi resource estimate by the end of March 2025, followed by the Mont Agoma resource estimate by the end of April. These estimates will be based on drilling that covers only a portion of the 2,000-meter soil anomaly identified at the properties, indicating substantial exploration upside.At Mont Agoma, CEO Paul Barrett described a layered deposit model where copper is found at shallow depths, tin is deeper, and zinc is distributed throughout the system. The company has accelerated drilling here with multiple rigs now operating simultaneously, substantially improving the pace of exploration compared to previous operations.Despite regional security concerns related to M23 rebel activity, Rome Resources has adapted its operations by relocating its logistical hub to Kenani. The company maintains a helicopter on site to transport supplies and has established safety protocols in coordination with neighboring operations.Financially, Rome Resources is in a stable position with approximately £3 million in the bank. Barrett projects that after completing the current drilling program, the company will still have about £2 million in reserves, providing flexibility for future activities.Barrett remains optimistic about the long-term prospects for tin, which is currently trading around $33-34 per kilogram. He highlighted the metal's role in electronics, particularly with increasing demand driven by AI development and electrification:"The key really is demand... a lot of the countries that want to go forward in terms of the AI revolution, electrification, etc., will be driving demand going forward because tin glues all the electronics together and there is no substitute."This outlook, combined with constraints on global supply, creates a favorable environment for new tin projects, with Barrett noting that even a relatively small resource could be commercially viable due to tin's high price.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rome-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Paul Barrett, CEO of Rome ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rome-resources-lsermr-42m-investment-accelerates-exploration-at-promising-drc-tin-projects-6463Recording date: 21st January 2025Rome Resources has announced promising results from its tin-copper project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with the first two drill holes intersecting significant 30-40 meter wide zones of tin mineralization at the Mont Agoma prospect. The company is applying the geological model of the San Rafael tin mine, where mineralization typically transitions from copper-rich zones at shallow depths to tin-dominant mineralization at depth.CEO Paul Barrett highlighted the significance of these wide intercepts, noting that they are substantially larger than comparable operations. "These are relatively shallow holes, but the really interesting thing is that they're very wide tin intercepts. At this depth we're still in the tin-copper transition with quite a lot of zinc... The key focus obviously is the tin," Barrett stated.The company is currently operating three drilling rigs at Mont Agoma and is nearing completion of its drill program at the nearby Kalayi prospect. A maiden resource estimate is expected in Q1 or early Q2 2025. Barrett indicated that after completing the current phase of drilling, the company will still have substantial funds available for future exploration.Following a recent financing, Rome Resources is well-funded and has shifted its focus from seeking additional investment to pursuing strategic partnerships with larger companies. The company recently held discussions with potential investors in London and plans similar meetings in Cape Town next month, emphasizing its preference for partnership opportunities over further equity dilution.The tin market outlook remains favorable, with prices stabilizing around $30,000 per tonne. Barrett expressed optimism about the long-term fundamentals: "Longer term, the signals are still very, very good. Shareholders understand that. If we come into production, it's going to be longer term, that's positive."Tin's importance in the energy transition continues to grow, driven by its essential role in solar panels, batteries, and electronics. With limited new tin projects globally and production largely dependent on artisanal mining in countries like Indonesia and Myanmar, supply constraints could benefit companies bringing new production online.Rome Resources sees itself as potentially following in the footsteps of Alphamin, with its Mont Agoma and Kalayi prospects located near Alphamin's Mpama tin mine. The company's strategy focuses on expanding its resource base through deeper drilling while maintaining a strong financial position. With multiple catalysts expected in 2025, including resource estimates from both prospects, Rome Resources aims to establish itself as a significant player in the tin sector.View Rome Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rome-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Watch on YouTube Rome Resources has released assay results from two holes drilled at its Mont Agoma tin project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The results support the company's geological interpretation of Mont Agoma, and the grades look world class. Chief executive Paul Barrett joints us to explain.

Interview with Paul Barrett, CEO of Rome ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rome-resources-aimrmr-high-grade-hits-at-drc-tin-project-6292Recording date: 18th December 2024Rome Resources Plc (LSE:RMR), a tin explorer focused on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has secured £4.2 million in funding through a strategic investment from Stanvic Mining SARL to accelerate its exploration programs.The company is currently conducting drilling campaigns at two primary tin prospects - Kalayi and Mont Agoma - using four drill rigs. At Kalayi, the drilling program is nearing completion, with visual indications of tin mineralization observed in the drill core, though assay results have only been received for two holes so far. The company is optimistic about establishing a maiden resource estimate at this prospect.At Mont Agoma, drilling continues to test the depth extent of known tin mineralization, with plans for an additional six to eight holes targeting the core of the prospect. Early indicators show presence of tin, copper, and zinc mineralization.CEO Paul Barrett commented on the financing: "It's a good endorsement of our business that [Stanvic] is happy to put in over 4 million." He emphasized the cost-effectiveness of the raise, noting that "99% of that money will use putting in the ground."The funds will support expanded exploration efforts, including high-resolution topographic mapping using LiDAR technology to provide detailed imaging of the bedrock beneath the jungle vegetation. Additional plans include soil geochemistry sampling and regional geological work, potentially including magnetic surveys.Looking ahead, Rome Resources aims to delineate resources at both prospects. Barrett outlined the strategy: "I think intuitively we would put out the Kalayi resource because we're pretty much finished drilling there right now. Mont Agoma, I think, we really need to put in another 6 to 8, maybe more holes before we can confidently come up with a bigger number."The investment strengthens Rome's position in the DRC's tin sector, where the company sees significant exploration upside and regional potential. With the global demand for tin growing, driven by its use in electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy infrastructure, Rome Resources is positioning itself to capitalize on the increasing market opportunity in this critical technology metal.View Rome Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rome-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Paul Barrett, CEO of Pathfinder Minerals/Rome ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rome-resources-aimrmr-tin-copper-exploration-shows-early-promise-6088Recording date: 21st November 2024Rome Resources is making rapid progress at its high-grade tin project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Initial assay results from the Kalayi prospect returned grades as high as 3-4% tin, on par with the 4% grades from neighboring $1B market cap producer Alphamin.With 10 more tin-mineralized holes from Kalayi at the lab and two holes from the large polymetallic discovery at Mont Agoma also awaiting assays, a steady stream of potentially market-moving results is expected in the coming weeks. Strategic investors have taken notice, approaching Rome and seeing similarities to Alphamin, albeit at an earlier stage.Rome is fully funded to complete the current 3,000m drill program. Well-timed to the rising tin price and growing supply deficit, Rome offers significant upside potential for investors if it can continue to deliver Alphamin-like drill results.The company is led by CEO Paul Barrett, who brings a wealth of experience advancing African tin projects. While early-stage, the combination of high-grade tin, a major new polymetallic discovery, a proven mining jurisdiction, and clear development analogue make Rome a compelling speculation for risk-tolerant investors at its current $30M market cap.Key investment highlights:High-grade results up to 3-4% tin at Kalayi prospectNumerous assays pending from Kalayi and polymetallic Mont Agoma discoveryFully funded to complete initial 3,000m drill programStrategic investors circling; Alphamin provides $1B blueprint to followExposure to record high tin prices and forecast supply deficitView Rome Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rome-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Paul Barrett, CEO of Pathfinder Minerals/Rome ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rome-resources-aimrmr-tin-copper-exploration-shows-early-promise-6088Recording date: 30th October 2024Rome Resources, a junior exploration company operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), presents a compelling investment opportunity with its high-grade tin assets and experienced management team. The company's flagship projects, Kalayi  and Mont Agoma are poised to capitalize on the growing demand for tin, a critical metal with limited investment opportunities.Kalayi, a pure play tin project, boasts some of the highest grade mineralization globally, with near-surface tin providing the potential for low capex, pilot-scale production. Mont Agoma, a polymetallic system containing tin, copper, and zinc sulfides, could be a company-maker with its significant scale and exploration upside. CEO Paul Barrett emphasized, "From what we're seeing, it could well be the much bigger prize in terms of the two projects."Rome Resources is led by a management team with a track record of successfully advancing and monetizing projects in the DRC. The company's model involves taking assets from discovery through to Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) level before crystallizing value for shareholders. With the recent appointment of Klaus Eckhof, who brings over two decades of in-country expertise, Rome Resources is well-positioned to navigate the operating environment and unlock the value of its assets.Despite the DRC's challenging reputation, the country has seen producers like Alphamin, located just 8 kilometers from Rome Resources' projects, successfully operate, produce, and get paid without issue. As Barrett noted, "It's definitely doable in that part of the world." The tin market is experiencing growing demand driven by its essential applications in electronics, solar panels, AI, and high-tech industries. With no substitutes in many applications, tin is gaining recognition as a critical metal with significant upside potential. The International Tin Association recently highlighted a poll from LME Week showing tin "shot up" the list of critical metals expected to outperform through 2025.Upcoming drill results and the continuation of drilling through November and December provide potential catalysts for a re-rating of Rome Resources. With a modest ~US$20 million market capitalization, the company appears undervalued relative to the scale of its assets and the potential value creation as it continues to derisk and advance its projects.Key investment highlights include exposure to high-grade tin assets with significant resource expansion potential, an experienced management team with a track record of success, strategic optionality to pursue multiple development scenarios, and leverage to a rising tin price driven by growing demand and supply constraints.As Rome Resources delivers drill results and continues to grow its resource base, the company is well-positioned for a re-rating. With a management team experienced in creating shareholder value and strategic optionality in a rising tin price environment, investors have the opportunity to gain exposure to a premier pure play tin opportunity with significant upside potential.View Rome Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rome-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Paul Barrett, CEO of Pathfinder Minerals/Rome ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rome-resources-tsxvrmr-reverse-takeover-of-high-grade-tin-5717Recording date: 16th October 2024Rome Resources, a junior mining company, is making significant strides in its exploration for tin and copper in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The company's recent activities and market conditions present an intriguing opportunity for investors interested in the critical minerals sector.Currently, Rome Resources is executing an ambitious drilling program in the DRC. CEO Paul Barrett reports that initial results are encouraging, with one hole showing "good indications" that warrant further investigation. The company has rapidly scaled up its operations, now operating four drilling rigs on site. This expansion demonstrates Rome's commitment to accelerating its exploration efforts and maximizing the potential of its concessions.The drilling program initially targeted 3,000 meters across two main areas: the Kalayi Project (approximately 1,000 meters drilled) and the Mont Agoma Project (over 330 meters drilled). However, management is considering extending the program beyond this target, capitalizing on the established logistics and operational efficiencies.Investors should note the company's adept handling of logistical challenges in the DRC. Despite the remote location requiring helicopter access, Rome Resources has successfully established a fully operational camp and supply bases. This infrastructure not only supports current operations but also provides a foundation for potential expansion.Market conditions for tin, one of Rome's primary target minerals, appear favorable. Tin prices are holding steady at around $32,500 per ton, with potential for upward pressure due to supply constraints and increasing demand. Barrett draws a compelling comparison to a nearby operation that achieves a net revenue of $20,000 per ton at current prices, illustrating the potential profitability of successful discoveries in the region.The company is also exploring for copper, a metal crucial for the global transition to clean energy and advanced technologies. This dual focus provides potential diversification benefits and exposure to two critical metals with strong long-term demand fundamentals.Investors can expect a steady flow of news in the coming months, with assay results anticipated in November 2023. These results will provide crucial insights into the potential scale and quality of Rome Resources' mineral assets.However, potential investors should be aware of the risks associated with early-stage exploration companies. Rome Resources has yet to define a resource or reserve, and there's no guarantee that the current drilling program will result in an economically viable deposit. Additionally, operating in the DRC carries geopolitical risks that must be considered.Despite these challenges, Rome Resources presents an opportunity for investors seeking early-stage exposure to critical minerals in a promising geological setting. The company's experienced management team, led by CEO Paul Barrett, demonstrates operational competence and a clear strategy for advancing its exploration projects.The macro environment for tin and copper remains supportive, with both metals playing crucial roles in the ongoing global transition to clean energy and advanced technologies. This backdrop could potentially lead to sustained high prices and increased investment in the sector.In conclusion, Rome Resources offers investors a chance to participate in the early stages of what could become a significant tin and copper play. While the risks are substantial, as with any junior explorer, the potential rewards of a major discovery in the current market environment are equally considerable. Investors should conduct thorough due diligence and carefully consider their risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.View Rome Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rome-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Rome Resources now has a second drill rig operational on its projects in the DRC, with a third already mobilised and nearly ready to go. The plan is to build enough of a knowledge base to put a maiden resource around the project within a few months.

Interview with Paul Barrett, CEO of Rome Resources.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rome-resources-tapping-tins-tech-driven-potential-with-high-grade-explorationRecording date: 28th August 2024Rome Resources Ltd., an emerging player in the tin exploration sector, has announced encouraging results from its ongoing drilling program in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The company's recent press release highlights the intersection of significant tin mineralization, marking a potentially pivotal moment for investors eyeing opportunities in the critical metals space. While specific grades have not yet been disclosed pending laboratory analysis, the company reports visible cassiterite (the primary ore of tin) in drill core from their second hole. This early indication of mineralization has generated excitement within the company, particularly given the project's proximity to Alphamin's Bisie mine, one of the highest-grade tin deposits in the world. Paul Barrett, CEO of Rome Resources, expressed optimism about the findings: "What we've seen is very encouraging tin mineralization in the rocks. I mean, we can go into detail, but it's a good intersection of tin-only mineralization."Rome Resources' project is strategically situated in the emerging tin province of the DRC's Kivu region, just 8 kilometers from Alphamin's operations. This location, combined with the company's experienced team, positions Rome Resources favorably for potential discovery success. The exploration efforts are led by industry veterans Mark Gasson and Klaus Eckhof, who bring crucial experience from their involvement with Alphamin's initial exploration. Their familiarity with the region's geology and mineralization styles provides Rome Resources with a significant advantage in targeting high-grade tin deposits.In response to the encouraging results, Rome Resources is ramping up its exploration efforts. The company is mobilizing two additional drill rigs from Uganda, which are expected to be operational within days. This expansion will allow for a more aggressive drilling campaign, with the company targeting completion of a 3,000-meter program in the near term. For investors, Rome Resources presents an intriguing opportunity in the critical metals sector. The company's early exploration success, strategic location, and experienced team offer the potential for significant value creation if a major tin discovery is confirmed.Key points for investors to consider include the proximity to a world-class tin deposit, an experienced team with a track record of success in the region, an accelerating exploration program with potential for rapid news flow, strong macro fundamentals for tin driven by its use in electronics and green technologies, and the potential for Rome Resources to be valued similarly to Alphamin if exploration success continues. Paul Barrett highlighted the potential upside: "We would then hope to be basically viewed as on a par with Alphamin in terms of the asset. It's very similar geology, it's very similar mineralization play. And of course they're at a later stage in the game, but they are still a $1.4 billion Canadian market cap company, so, there's a lot of upside to what we're doing."While early-stage exploration carries inherent risks, the initial results from Rome Resources' drilling program suggest the company may be onto a significant discovery. As assay results become available and the expanded drilling program progresses, investors will gain a clearer picture of the project's potential. For those willing to accept the risks associated with junior mining stocks, Rome Resources offers exposure to a promising tin exploration play in a highly prospective region. With multiple catalysts on the horizon, including ongoing drill results and a potential resource estimate by early 2025, Rome Resources is a company that merits close attention from investors interested in the critical metals sector.—Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/rome-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In November 2021, a teenager in rural Texas downloaded the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and quickly became obsessed. He began to research weapons from the game, including a military-grade assault rifle. The company that manufactures the weapon used Instagram to market it. The teenager spent hours on Instagram, using 20 different accounts to browse the app. He learned more about the gun, and saved every dollar he could to pre-order it. 23 minutes after he turned 18 years old, he purchased the weapon. A few days later, on May 24, 2022, the teenager walked into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and used the gun to kill 19 fourth-graders and two teachers.  Now, two years after the massacre, the families of those killed are suing Instagram and Activision Blizzard, the company that publishes Call of Duty. The novel lawsuit faces many legal hurdles – among them is Section 230, a federal law which significantly shields social media companies from liability for third-party content posted on their platforms. How might this long shot lawsuit impact who can be held responsible for mass shootings? And what are its potential implications for Silicon Valley in other contexts?  Joining the show to discuss the case and its potential impact on legal efforts to hold social media companies liable through the court system is Paul Barrett.  Paul is the deputy director and senior research scholar at the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights.Show Notes: Paul M.

Interview with Paul Barrett, CEO of Pathfinder Minerals, soon to be Rome Resources.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/rome-resources-tsxvrmr-promising-play-in-the-critical-tin-market-5612Recording date: 18th July 2024*Rome Resources: Unlocking Tin's Potential in the Tech-Driven Future*Pathfinder Minerals, soon to be renamed from Rome Resources following a reverse takeover targeted for 26th July 2024, is positioning itself as a key player in the burgeoning tin market. The company's focus on high-grade tin exploration in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) offers investors a unique opportunity to gain exposure to a critical mineral that's becoming increasingly essential in our technology-driven world.The company's primary project is strategically located adjacent to Alpha Min's successful tin operation, suggesting significant geological potential. Initial drilling has already revealed promising results, with tin grades reaching up to 13% - far exceeding the global average of around 0.5%. This high-grade nature of the deposit could potentially translate into more efficient and cost-effective mining operations in the future.Rome Resources is currently embarking on an ambitious drilling program, planning to complete 16-20 core holes up to 300 meters in depth across two main prospects: Kaii and Monaga. This £1.3 million program is expected to provide crucial data for a resource assessment, scheduled for completion by early 2024. This assessment will be a key milestone for investors, offering a clearer picture of the project's potential and informing the company's future strategy.The macro-environment for tin appears favourable, with industry projections suggesting a substantial supply deficit from 2025 onwards. This shortfall is driven by the critical role of metal in advanced technologies, particularly in AI and electronics. As Paul Barrett, CEO of Rome Resources, notes, "Tin is very much... it's almost the most impacted critical mineral in terms of demand for the electric... the AI and advanced electronics." This growing demand and supply constraints in traditional tin-producing countries could potentially increase tin prices in the coming years.Rome Resources benefits from an experienced management team with a track record of successful discoveries and monetisation in the DRC. This local expertise is crucial for navigating the complexities of operating in the region and could provide a significant competitive advantage.Another key strength is the company's strategic flexibility. Depending on the results of the initial drilling program and market conditions, Rome Resources could choose to continue exploration, monetise the project through a sale or joint venture, or proceed with advanced studies to further de-risk the project.For investors, Rome Resources offers a speculative play in the critical minerals sector with several potential catalysts on the horizon. The upcoming drilling results and resource assessment could be significant value inflexion points. However, it's important to note the risks associated with early-stage mining projects and the challenges of operating in the DRC.Starting with a market capitalisation of around £14 million, Rome Resources has significant growth potential if it can successfully define and develop its tin resources. Securing reliable tin supplies will become increasingly important as the world embraces AI, advanced electronics, and electric vehicles. Companies like Rome Resources, focused on exploring and developing high-grade tin deposits, will likely play a crucial role in meeting this demand.In conclusion, for investors seeking exposure to the critical minerals space and willing to accept the associated risks, Rome Resources presents an intriguing opportunity to benefit from tin's growing importance in our technological future.—View Rome Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rome-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Jes Staley, The USVI, JP Morgan and multple Epstein accusers are embroiled in a ccontentious court battle over claims made by the USVI and The survivors of Epstein. Jes Staley has been central to all of these claims, but he has maintained that his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been nothing more than one revolving around business. The USVI, however, has a few things to say about that.In this episode, we take a look at Staley's claim that he is being used as a shield and we also take a look at the most recent person to get swept up in the Epstein fallout, Citi banker Paul Barrett.(commercial at 9:21)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Former JPMorgan exec says bank is using him as a 'PR shield' in Epstein case (nbcnews.com)This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5080327/advertisement

Who hasn't marveled at the fossilized remains of a dinosaur? Though their lineage lives on today in the form of birds, historically, dinosaurs were once far more diverse. Needless to say, they shaped the world around them just as much as the world shaped them, and this certainly included interactions with plants. Plant eating dinosaurs were some of the largest organisms to ever walk this earth and my guest today studies exactly that. We revisit a conversation with the Natural History Museum in London's Dr Paul Barrett and I as we discuss herbivory in ancient dinosaur lineages. This episode was produced in part by Kristin, Luke, Sea, Shannon, Thomas, Will, Jamie, Waverly, Brent, Tanner, Rick, Kazys, Dorothy, Katherine, Emily, Theo, Nichole, Paul, Karen, Randi, Caelan, Tom, Don, Susan, Corbin, Keena, Robin, Peter, Whitney, Kenned, Margaret, Daniel, Karen, David, Earl, Jocelyn, Gary, Krysta, Elizabeth, Southern California Carnivorous Plant Enthusiasts, Pattypollinators, Peter, Judson, Ella, Alex, Dan, Pamela, Peter, Andrea, Nathan, Karyn, Michelle, Jillian, Chellie, Linda, Laura, Miz Holly, Christie, Carlos, Paleo Fern, Levi, Sylvia, Lanny, Ben, Lily, Craig, Sarah, Lor, Monika, Brandon, Jeremy, Suzanne, Kristina, Christine, Silas, Michael, Aristia, Felicidad, Lauren, Danielle, Allie, Jeffrey, Amanda, Tommy, Marcel, C Leigh, Karma, Shelby, Christopher, Alvin, Arek, Chellie, Dani, Paul, Dani, Tara, Elly, Colleen, Natalie, Nathan, Ario, Laura, Cari, Margaret, Mary, Connor, Nathan, Jan, Jerome, Brian, Azomonas, Ellie, University Greens, Joseph, Melody, Patricia, Matthew, Garrett, John, Ashley, Cathrine, Melvin, OrangeJulian, Porter, Jules, Griff, Joan, Megan, Marabeth, Les, Ali, Southside Plants, Keiko, Robert, Bryce, Wilma, Amanda, Helen, Mikey, Michelle, German, Joerg, Cathy, Tate, Steve, Kae, Carole, Mr. Keith Santner, Lynn, Aaron, Sara, Kenned, Brett, Jocelyn, Ethan, Sheryl, Runaway Goldfish, Ryan, Chris, Alana, Rachel, Joanna, Lori, Paul, Griff, Matthew, Bobby, Vaibhav, Steven, Joseph, Brandon, Liam, Hall, Jared, Brandon, Christina, Carly, Kazys, Stephen, Katherine, Mohsin Kazmi Takes Pictures, Manny, doeg, Daniel, Tim, Philip, Tim, Lisa, Brodie, Bendix, Irene, holly, Sara, and Margie.

Natural history auctions are on the rise and are generating millions of dollars for private fossil hunters, but the commercialisation of ancient bones is worrying some palaeontologists. They argue that specimens sold privately are lost to science. Yet others say that by disincentivising the black market and encouraging more enthusiasts to search for rare finds, fossil auctions could improve the scientific understanding of ancient reptiles. The Economist's Dylan Barry explores the Natural History Museum's fossil collection in London, with Paul Barrett, a paleontologist. Dylan also chats to the “dinosaur cowboy”, Clayton Phipps, a commercial fossil prospector, about his discovery of the “duelling dinosaurs” and how ranchers benefit from finding dinosaur bones. Plus, Cassandra Hatton, the vice president and head of natural history of Sotheby's, an auction house, argues that auctioneers and palaeontologists should see each other as being on the same side.

He didn't assume anything about how to design a handgun because he's never designed one before. Consequently he designed the best one ever. He didn't know what was out of bounds.(8:20) Gaston Glock himself put it in an interview: "That I knew nothing was my advantage.”(8:55) He began disassembling the guns, putting them back together, and noted the contrasting methods used to make them.(9:00) More on Glock's initial research process: I started intensive studies in such a manner that I visited the Austrian patent offices for weeks examining generations of handgun in innovation.(9:10) Learning from history of a form of leverage.(10:25) Crucially, the gun should have no more than 40 parts. This is one of the most important ideas in the book. He designed a product —and a company— based on limiting the amount of moving parts.(12:00) My intention was to learn as much as possible as fast as possible.(12:30) Move fast: I worked for two years, day and night, to bring the sample to the Army on time.(12:45) Difference for the sake of it and retention of total control. — Against the Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #300)(15:00) The important thing that gave him his big price advantage was that he designed the pistol for complete production on computer controlled tools.(15:20) The book is all simplicity, focus, and differentiation.(15:30) Clock produced the simplest handgun with only 34 components.(18:30) He's got all these very unique and unusual forms of distribution.(18:35) How did a pistol produced by an obscure engineer in Vienna, a man who barely spoke English and had no familiarity with America, become in the space of a few years, an American icon?The answer to that question is distribution.(20:20) There's a lot of money to be made if we could convert U.S police departments from revolvers to pistols.(22:50) The only conventional thing about the Glock was the method of operation he adopted for his handgun. Glock borrowed his basic mechanics from John Moses Browning, the greatest gun designer of the late 19th century.(24:08) He objected to the Pentagon's insistence that the rights to manufacture the winning gun design would be open to competitive bidding. Glock intended to collect all profit from the production of his gun himself.(24:35) Quality will always bring you more money.(25:50) Glock's gross margins exceeded 65%. The Glock's simpler design and the computerized manufacturing methods allowed for larger profits.(27:45) Working by Robert Caro. (Founders #305)(30:40) David Ogilvy said the word FREE is magical to customers.(31:00) Glock began putting some of the country's most admired shooting instructors on contract to spread the word about the Austrian pistol.(32:00) Cut the prices, scoop the market, watch the costs, and the profits will take care of themselves. + The deals worked financially because of the company's startingly low manufacturing costs.(32:30) Glock is just running Sam Colt's playbook — just doing it 140 years later. — Revolver: Sam Colt and the Six-Shooter That Changed America by Jim Rasenberger. (Founders #147)(33:00) Sam Colt relentlessly pursued public contracts, regardless of the profit margin. “Government patronage, Sam Colt once said, is an advertisement, if nothing else.”  Gaston Glock became the Sam Colt of the 20th century.(34:30) Glock was able to focus. They put all of their effort and resources behind a single product: American handgun makers offered many diverse models in the fashion of the Detroit car companies. Glock saw that as competing with himself and resisted the temptation.(36:20) He evolved from a provincial manager of a radiator factory to a world traveling industrialist.(41:45) That was Glock's theme.

In late March, the LSU Museum of Art opened a new exhibition celebrating the works of Alabama-based artist Thornton Dial. The exhibit, I, Too, Am Thornton Dial, walks viewers through the long life of the artist, whose installations combine found objects – everything from metal and wood to toys and clothes – to convey messages about the civil rights movement and Black life in the Deep South.  Earlier this month, Dial's son and fellow artist Richard came to the gallery alongside other family members for a panel discussion about his father's creativity, resourcefulness and contributions to the art community. Richard, along with exhibit curator and fellow Alabama-native Paul Barrett, join us for more.  But first, it's Thursday and that means it's time to catch up on this week in politics with The Times Picayune's editorial director and columnist, Stephanie Grace. We learn more about the Republican state senator who recently blocked a ban on healthcare for transgender youth, and hear about new legislation that would allow residents to carry concealed firearms without a permit.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber. Our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz and our engineers are Garrett Pittman and Aubry Procell. You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at 12:00 and 7:30 pm.

Sea otters, American bison and grey wolves are among nine groups of animals that could help fight climate change. The team discusses the various attributes that make these groups particularly impactful, and they explain what we'd need to do to help populations grow.An ancient supermassive black hole that formed in the early moments of the universe has been spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope. The team explains how it might've formed so early into the universe's existence - and they discuss the mind-boggling prospect of black holes that are older than the universe.An immense sauropod dinosaur, Patagotitan mayorum, the largest known land-animal of all time, is currently towering above visitors to London's Natural History Museum. Rowan went to see the incredible beast up close, and asks palaeontologist Paul Barrett how sauropods got so big.A newly discovered “hat” has mathematicians all excited. For the first time, researchers have found a single shape that can be used to cover a surface without ever creating a repeating pattern. The team explains the shape, which apparently looks like a hat, and what it might be used for.Many of the problems we face in the world today are caused by our inability to think about the long-term future. But in this modern world where we're forced to think short-term, how do we escape this trap? Rowan asks Richard Fisher for help - he's just released a book titled The Long View: Why we need to transform how the world sees time.On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Chelsea Whyte, Alex Wilkins and Sam Wong.

In 1995, Timothy McVeigh detonated a truck bomb in downtown Oklahoma City, in an effort to strike the federal government. Nearly 30 years later, many have begun to warn that McVeigh's radical ideology is making a resurgence—and that social media is at least partly to blame.In this interview, Lindsay discusses the warnings—and potential solutions—with Paul Barrett, co-author of the report “Fueling the Fire: How Social Media Intensifies U.S. Political Polarization – And What Can Be Done About It.”Support us by supporting our sponsors!HelloFresh: Go to HelloFresh.com/scandal60 and use code scandal60 for 60% off plus free shipping!Audible: New members can try Audible free for 30 days.

Today Everything About Hydrogen had a chance to speak with Paul Barrett, the CEO of Hysata and dig into what makes this electrolysis company different. About Paul Barrett:With a PhD in Chemical Engineering from University College Dublin, many patents to his name, and decades of experience at the intersection of science, engineering and business, Paul has worked with everyone from early-stage tech start-ups to industry giants in water, materials & energy. As a former investment partner at IP Group Australia (LON: IPO), and close to a decade of electrolysis experience, Paul used his deep domain expertise to search the globe for game-changing approaches to hydrogen production. This led to the creation of Hysata, which closed its AUD$42.5M in Series A financing in mid-2022. About Hysata:Hysata is an Australian electrolyser manufacturing company developing a completely new type of electrolyser, featuring the world's most efficient electrolysis cell coupled with a simplified balance of plant.Hysata claims it's electrolysers require only 41.5 kWh to produce 1 kg of hydrogen (vs. 50-55+ kWh/kg for the best commercial electrolysers). This ultra-high efficiency exceeds the efficiency target of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) for the year 2050. It also transforms green hydrogen production economics, to well under $2/kg.Their patented technology was validated by Nature Communications in March 2022 and was in the top 1% of articles read across all journals tracked by Nature Communications in 2023. The stack performance has also been verified by a major EU electrochemical lab (publication pending).The Hysata founding team comprises electrolyser industry veterans, with deep expertise in the design and scale-up of novel electrolysers. Building on that foundation they are growing a world-class engineering, manufacturing, and commercial team with a footprint in multiple continents. Backed by leading global investors, Hysata is moving rapidly towards manufacturing at the multi-gigawatt scale needed to address climate change.-----Links:Website: www.hysata.comNature Communications article: A high-performance capillary-fed electrolysis cell promises more cost-competitive renewable hydrogen | Nature Communications
