You're  Allen Hall 2025: making that up. Joel's up in Wisconsin somewhere in the northern wilds of Wisconsin. Next to a cheese factory, and here I sit in Charlotte, North Carolina. If we've been paying attention or if you've been paying attention to the news over the last, uh, 48 hours in America has been complete chaos as we are recording this and the US Senate has [00:01:00] passed a bill regarding renewable energy and it's back to the house. Supposedly this is all gonna get signed off by the 4th of July. So we're recording it. Today is July 2nd. Um. So by the time you hear this, something may or may not have happened, and we're trying to keep abreast of the latest, but I think there's some other news going on around the world. And, uh, one of the stories we found interesting was the Danish Offshore, uh, agency Energy Agency has approved permit extensions for two of Denmark's oldest offshore wind farms, which marks a major milestone for. Wind energy longevity. The middle Gruden and Newstead offshore wind farms have received permission to operate for an additional 25 years and 10 years respectively. That is massive extension. Uh, the middle Gruden facility, which is built in 2001, has about 20 turbines and about 40 megawatts of capacity, and it's owned by a community cooperative. [00:02:00] And the Danes being on top of all these things, uh, allowed the extension after doing an engineering analysis showing that the infrastructure has more life. This is unusual. Is this just a artifact of early designs being overly conservative? And these wind farms can practically live forever? I think so. I, uh,  Joel Saxum: I like it. Alright. I wish that all these wind turbines are built this way because it's then you can get more longevity of, I think now of course when everybody has a repower now or tries to extend life, they're trying to really do it. So they're trying to, if we're gonna put money, we'll try to, you know, up the kilowatt, we'll try to up the capacity, well then the foundations don't hold and these kind of things. So it's kind of like if you look at, um. I'm up here in northern Wisconsin, not too far from my house. There's a bridge that was built by the CCC, uh, the civilian Conservation Corps in like the, um, at the Great Depression. So like in the 1930s, late, [00:03:00] late 1920s. And that bridge is fine. Like it's golden. It's still good, right? But it was overbuilt, super built to be heavy duty construction. And there's another bridge just down the road from that same one over the same river that was done in the seventies that needs a complete replacement. Because it was done, it was done with like, you know, di different design functions, not as robust. And,

Why Pulling Permits Matters When Renovating Your Home At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe every move should be a moving experience—and that includes the renovations that prepare a home for sale or improve your living space. On a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, hosts Melissa Wallace and Tracy Grady—longtime real estate professionals and community insiders—discussed a topic every homeowner should understand: the importance of pulling permits before beginning home improvement projects. Why Permits Matter Permits aren't just paperwork—they're essential for ensuring safety, maintaining property value, and preventing costly complications down the road. Tracy, who spent over 14 years working in the Pembroke Building Department and now serves on the zoning and planning team in Hanover, shared insights from both the municipal and real estate perspectives. “A permit is essentially the town granting permission for you to do certain work on your home,” Tracy explained. “It ensures that your project complies with building codes and safety standards.” What Requires a Permit? Many homeowners are surprised to learn just how many common improvements require permits. From installing a new deck or pool to replacing windows or even finishing a basement, permits play a key role in validating that work has been done correctly—and legally. While some smaller jobs like painting or replacing flooring may not need a permit, any structural, plumbing, or electrical changes typically do. Tracy emphasized that while homeowners can pull some permits themselves (like for basic construction), electrical and plumbing work must be done by licensed professionals. The Risk of Skipping the Process Skipping permits can come back to haunt you, especially when it's time to sell your home. Buyers (and their agents) may review a home's “jacket” at the local town hall—a file that includes a history of all permits pulled on the property. If major renovations don't appear in that file, buyers may walk away or request retroactive permitting, which can delay or derail a transaction. In towns like Pembroke, records are still maintained in paper form due to historical setbacks (like the town hall fire of 1978), which makes it even more important to maintain accurate, up-to-date records on your own improvements. Best Practices for Homeowners Ask before you act: Check with your local building department to confirm if a permit is needed for your planned project. Use licensed professionals: Ensure contractors are properly licensed and have them pull the necessary permits. Keep copies: Always retain documentation for your records—and future buyers. Think ahead: Permits aren't just for today—they help protect the future value of your home. Real-Life Insight from the Field Tracy also shared a heartwarming story from a recent closing: a young couple buying their dream home in Plymouth, complete with a pool, ocean views, and a fenced-in dog run for their 158-pound pup, Blue. Thanks to clean records and transparent permitting, the sale was smooth and stress-free—exactly what every real estate transaction should be. Whether you're planning a small upgrade or a full-scale renovation, Boston Connect Real Estate is here to guide you through every step—including the paperwork.

According to The Times, employees now face an average of nine organizational changes per year, up from two before 2020, leading to increased change fatigue. So, how can you lead a change management strategy to help reps effectively navigate these changes?Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Shawnna Sumaoang. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Sobia Younus, the senior manager of sales learning and enablement at ApplyBoard. Thank you for joining us, Sobia. I’d love for you to tell us about yourself, your background, and your role. Sobia Younus: Sure. I really appreciate this opportunity. So I’m leading the sales learning and enablement team at ApplyBoard, a leading ed-tech platform that’s reshaping how international students access global education. So I lead a global sales enablement framework that focuses on performance process and people and my role. Spans everything from onboarding and ever boarding to performance improvement initiatives that firsthand impact the revenue. But to rewind a bit, my journey has never been linear, and I believe that’s been my strength. So while I’ve always been rooted in international education, my niche has always been B2B and B2C sales, and that helped me build a strong understanding of client behavior, market trends, and grow through meaningful engagements. I have been with ApplyBoard for almost six years. I initially joined the CX team, which gave me insight into the student journey and operations side of how applications are being processed. From there, I transitioned into the sales role where I gained the firsthand experience of navigating the field. Finally in 2021, I moved into sales enablement, and that’s where everything came together. It blended my passion for education, my CX foundation, and my love for sales performance into one purpose driven role. I think today I focus more on building scalable strategic enablement programs that build and drive revenue, empower people, and connect the dots between learning, growth and results. Personally, to me, and I really wanna share that, I believe that for me, enablement is where storytelling meets the strategy. That’s what make it so exciting, and what excites me the most about my work today is the blend of strategy and human behavior. Most importantly, understanding how people learn, they stay motivated, and how the right tool and messaging can turn a sales team into a high performing empowered force. That’s why I’m so excited to be here today because platforms like Highspot make a real difference. SS: Amazing. Well, we’re excited to have you here, and given your extensive experience in education management, I’d love to learn from you what are some of the unique challenges that reps in the industry face, and how can enablement help them navigate these challenges? SY: So that’s a very important subject. So one of the most unique aspects of international education industry is how deeply it influenced by external elements like immigration reforms, global mobility trends, and even geopolitical shifts. So unlike other industries where salespeople can rely on relatively stable products or markets, education is often at the mercy of forces beyond control. And as a result, salespeople in this space aren’t just selling a service. They’re actually navigating constant change, managing expectations, and often having to realign their strategy in real time. And a great example is what recently we saw last year, the government introduced caps on your international student permits and tightened eligibility for post-graduation work. Permits. So these changes had an immediate impact on student demand, also program selection and school preferences. So practically overnight, our sales rep has to understand the implications, shift focus away from programs that no longer align with student goals and reposition alternatives that still offered strong appeal to students. This is where enablement became mission critical. And an apply board. We don’t just see enablement as a static function. It is a real time strategic engine that basically supports business agility. So within days of those updates, our team not only delivered the sessions, so we created and rolled out sales plays and updated talk tracks and Highspot. We designed objection handling strategies on Highspot to help our. Salespeople reposition options with clarity and assurance. So in short, we didn’t just inform, we equipped, so that is important. Our goal was to turn uncertainty into clarity so that salespeople could keep on building trust and drive impact through their communication. And I believe that enablement also reinforces a culture of agility. So in industries like ours, change is inevitable. But when enablement is done right. It actually becomes a competitive advantage. SS: Amazing. And I know that at ApplyBoard, you actually switched off a previous enablement platform and moved to Highspot. What motivated you to reevaluate and change your enablement tech stack? SY: So when we initially built our enablement infrastructure at Apply board. Our primary focus was on structured learning. So naturally our, you know, tech stack leaned towards a traditional LMS. It served its objective at that time, like building, onboarding courses and track completion. But as our sales organization matured. So did the scope of our needs. So we realized that enablement couldn’t just live in siloed training modules. It had to be integrated into the daily flow of work. And our sales team needed not just learning, but relevant and up to date resources and real time support to navigate, you know, fast-paced industry changes. So in short, we needed more than an LMS. We needed a true enablement platform that could function as a CMS, a single source of truth, and I would love to call Highspot a strategic one-stop shop. So that’s what motivated our ship to Highspot. We wanted a one-stop solution where onboarding and ever boarding training and sales plays and competitive insights all could live together. A platform that doesn’t just share knowledge, but it gives. To our salespeople when they need it in a way that fits how they work. So it was a mindset shift from how do we train people to how we enable performance? And Highspot gave us the ash to just do that. SS: Change management is absolutely crucial, especially during major product or policy updates. What are some of the common pitfalls that organizations can face during change and how can they avoid them? SY: It’s a very crucial issue, and it is often underestimated and not because organizations don’t recognize its importance, but because they assume communication alone is enough. One of the most typical pitfalls is treating change as an announcement rather than a proper process. So when major product updates or you know, changes happen, especially in the industry like international education where external shifts can be sudden and high stake, simply informing teams isn’t enough. You need to enable them. So, and other pitfall that I wanna mention over here is failing to connect the why behind the change. So, if sales reps or CX teams don’t understand how an update or change a product shift ties back to their goals or the client’s goals. It usually creates resistance. Or worse disengagement. So change without clarity leads to confusion. And I always believe that change without a proper plan leads to chaos. So one more typical misstep that I wanna mention over here is not planning for reinforcement. So even when the rollout goes smoothly, but without a continuous enablement, like quick one pages or talk tracks, or life scenarios and sales place, trust me, all behavior will return. People default to what they know when things get tough, you know? But at ApplyBoard, we’ve learned this through the hard way, that effective change management start with empathy and end spend with enablement. So we ensure teams understand the work, the why, and how of every change, and we don’t stop at emails. We provide field ready tools, align managers as change champions, and use platforms like Highspot to make resources easily accessible and track the engagement, which is very important. So we all know that change is inevitable, but chaos is optional and you can do wonders if you treat enablement as a bridge between strategy and execution. SS: In your opinion, what is the strategic advantage of an enablement platform when navigating change? SY: So, in my opinion, the strategic advantage of an enablement platform during especially the time of change, is simple. It turns information into action at scale and in real time. So change, especially in the fast moving industries like international education. Often creates a gap between what the business knows and what the field needs. So product evolves, policies, they change and market fluctuates. But if your sales teams can’t access the right information at the right moment, trust me, execution suffers. So this is where an enablement platform becomes mission critical. It just centralizes the word, the why and how of change into one cohesive experience. So instead of scattered emails, you know, outdated decks or reactive training sessions, you get a single source of truth, which is updated, which is searchable, relevant, and embedded in the daily workflow. I’m so glad to say that at Highspot has given us the ability to roll out updates with precision and speed, and when major changes hit, you know, like the recent PGWP reforms, we can respond with focus sales plays, updated talk tracks, training modules, and enablement briefs in one place. We are not just informing the salespeople, we are empowering them to act immediately with clarity, with the right message. So that’s the advantage of a strong enablement platform like Highspot, that it turns change into action. It aligns teams to keep a clear narrative, gives clear visibility into what’s working, also helping you execute with assurance and stay ahead. SS: And I know Plays have been a key lever in helping your reps navigate change, such as, you know, with a recent government policy update that impacted your go-to-market strategy, how did you leverage plays to support this initiative and, and ensure global team alignment? SY: So to be very honest, Sales Plays have become one of our most powerful tools for driving clarity during moments of change. A great example, as you said, and I mentioned earlier as well, the IRCC updates last year, that significantly impacted which programs and institutions were feasible for students creating a sudden shift in our go-to market approach as well. So we knew that without quick and organized actions, this could lead to inconsistent messaging, confusion in the field and you know, lost trust with our clients as well. So we leaned heavily on sales plays and Highspot to bring structure to the chaos. So first we worked cross-functionally with the product team CX and the market expert to streamline these changes into actionable insights. So we took it this way, so we help them understand what it meant. What was changing and how it impacted our clients and the students. Then we created some tailored sales place that included updated talk tracks to help salespeople position alternatives with with clarity and empathy and segmented school lists like highlighted eligible and ineligible programs, suggested outreach. Templates and objection handling approach. Also, we did some live enablement sessions to walk them through our strategy and create some space for q and a as well. But most importantly, next steps for the salespeople. And because the sales play lived in Highspot, we could monitor. The engagement, the usage, and the adoption globally. So this gave us clear visibility into where reinforcement was needed and allowed the regional leaders to support their teams more effectively. And honestly, in moments like these sales plays are a vehicle for alignment, clarity, and assurance. They help us go from reactive to proactive insurance. Our teams aren’t just informed, but they’re ready. SS: That’s impressive. And you also implemented a Learning Tuesday initiative to drive engagement, which has helped you achieve a remarkable 91% recurring usage in Highspot. Could you share more about this practice and, and how you’re driving adoption of the platform amongst your reps? SY: So one of the most important lessons that I have learned in my enablement journey is this. If you want to build a culture of learning, don’t push your salespeople, walk in their shoes. So understand their reality, their pressures, and how they spend their day and apply aboard are salespeople are constantly engaging with clients, pitching multiple destinations, helping clients navigate multiple schools and programs. So for them to be effective, clarity is everything. And it comes from knowing your product, your destination, your message by heart. And that insight shaped our approach to drive Highspot adoption as well. So instead of just treating enablement as a checklist, we focus on making learning relevant, timely, and useful. So that’s where Learning Tuesday was born. It’s a recurring initiative, you know, to share short, impactful learning that fits easily into the flow of the week. So each Tuesday we choose a specific focus area of our sales team, whether it’s like a destination or a school or a program or any product update and build a supporting asset and a quick quiz in Highspot to provide timely, practical resource that aligned with what salespeople are actively navigating in the field. So the goal was simple. Like make learning part of their workflow, not an interruption to it, you know? And it’s very important to understand. And because we use Highspot to highlight success stories across the teams. So this approach helped us reach a 91% recurring usage rate and Highspot, because salespeople weren’t being told to learn. They chose to learn and it was because the assets and focus areas were so relevant, timely, and help them, uh, do their jobs. And I believe that and its score that enablement isn’t just about sharing information. It is about supporting people by giving them the right tools and add the right time and helping them see the difference it makes SS: Again, impressive. And as a results driven leader, what are some of the key metrics that you track to effectively drive change initiatives? SY: That’s a great point. And you know, one that really reflects how enablement has evolved as a function, especially in ApplyBoard, so early in our en enablement journey. Like many other teams, we are primarily focused on the surface level metrics, like number of views and number of assets viewed, and or how often an asset was viewed. But we quickly realized those numbers can be misleading. For instance, if two people viewed three assets a hundred times, the view count may look impressive, but it doesn’t tell you anything about who’s engaging, how many people are engaging or whether it is actually driving behavioral change. So we took a step back and asked ourselves that, what does meaningful engagement look like? What actually signals that our enablement efforts are influencing performance. So that led us to create a more focused Highspot performance, you know, engagement framework, one that actually prioritizes impact over bulk. So we started tracking. Metrics that showed the full picture of how salespeople were using and applying enablement in their work. I will share some examples, like number of unique people viewing the assets, not just the total views, monthly and weekly hours spent on Highspot, both overall and segmented by the projects. Also, the completion rates of assessments and the onboarding courses. Especially tied to the onboarding milestones and also initiatives like Learning Tuesdays. Also, engagement with the sales players and the field tools, especially during the moments of change. And when I say engagement, I mean time spent on these assets and how many people viewed the assets, and most importantly, a correlation. Between Highspot engagement and sales OKRs, like win rates or ramp-up time. So this shift actually helped us move from reactive reporting to proactive decision making. So instead of just knowing what’s being clicked or now we understand what’s actually being used. What is actually being retained and you know, what is actually impacting their performance. So it has helped us improve our, you know, Highspot approach by removing the low performing resources and focusing more on what actually helps our salespeople in the field. And I believe that an enablement metrics shouldn’t just measure activity. They should measure momentum. And when you focus on the right ones, they become a powerful lever for driving lasting change. SS: Amazing. Well, Sobia, I’m hoping you can share with me. Since implementing Highspot, what business results have you achieved and do you have any wins you can share? SY: So many. I can gladly say that. So many wins since we started using Highspot. So many wins. So we have seen some clear improvements in key sales. Performance metrics that support our business goals. While many things can influence results like market changes or team growth, but enablement has played a very important role in keeping that progress going. Like I said earlier in international education and ed tech sector, things move fast. We are always dealing with changes, immigration updates, and new information, and at the same time, we are growing quickly and bringing in people from all sorts of industries. So some with sales experience, but little international education experience and knowledge and others with the opposite. So enablement helps bridge that gap early on. This mix actually led to longer ramp up times, like longer than typically 50 to 60 days. As a new hire, they were learning about both the product and the education sector. So you know, it was taking a lot of time for them to learn all of that. But by building a structure. Role specific onboarding program within Highspot. We changed the game, our onboarding program. Now delivers destination training, platform fluency, and process enablement all in one centralized, searchable space, high sport. So as a reserve, we’ve successfully brought ramp up time just under 30 days on average. So the acceleration has had a clear impact on early client engagement and revenue readiness. Highspot just didn’t, you know, help us organize the asset. It helped us succeed. Successfully execute onboarding, scale their learning across borders, and you know, prepare salespeople to thrive in one of the most dynamic industries out there. Also, I can say this with assurance that enablement helped translate change into action, and Highspot was the strategic engine that allowed us to do that with speeds, scale and clarity. SS: Last question. If you could share one crucial lesson learned from your experience supporting teens through change, what would it be? SY: So, one very crucial and important lesson that I’ve learned is that successful change isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about creating alignment, trust, and momentum. So I’ve seen that teams respond best when they understand the why. Feel heard in the how. Can see themselves in the what’s next? So change sticks when it’s not just implemented, but truly internalized. And you know, that’s where sales enablement plays a crucial role by equipping teams with the right messaging, timely training, and actionable resources to navigate change with clarity and assurance and platform like Highspot make that happen successfully at scale. SS: Sobia, again, thank you so much for joining us. I really appreciate your insights. SY: I really appreciate that you having me here. It’s a pleasure and I truly enjoyed sharing, you know, all of the experience and learning. SS: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast.

Interview with Rana Vig, Director & CEO of Blue Lagoon ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/blue-lagoon-resources-bllg-gold-producer-focused-on-being-explorer-1079Recording date: 5 May 2025Blue Lagoon Resources (CSE: BLLG, OTCQB: BLAGF) is set to commence gold production on July 9, 2025, marking the culmination of a five-year permitting process that CEO Rana Vig initially expected to take just 18 months. The company's high-grade British Columbia property near Smithers represents a significant milestone in today's challenging regulatory environment, where typical mining permits can extend to 20 years.The 22,000-hectare property contains 15 known high-grade veins averaging 9 grams per ton, with current measured and indicated resources of 218,000 ounces concentrated on a single vein. Management projects a clear path to over one million ounces based on extensive drilling programs totaling more than 50,000 meters. Recent drilling 150 meters below known resources has yielded intercepts exceeding 18 grams per ton across multiple hits, with increasing copper grades suggesting proximity to the mineralization source.Blue Lagoon's strategic approach emphasizes cash flow generation over traditional equity financing. "I could have raised more money for this company a couple of years ago, but everybody was depressed," Vig explained. "Why dilute at that level? I'd be at 700-800 million-900 million shares." Instead, management plans to use production cash flow as an "ATM" to fund exploration and expansion activities.The company has invested approximately $40 million in infrastructure and assembled an experienced operational team, including Cobra Mining contractors familiar with the historical Noranda operations at the same site. A validated toll processing partnership with Nicola Mining confirmed 90-95% recovery rates through previous test shipments.Cash flow generation is projected for fall 2025, with free cash flow expected by year-end. The timing coincides favorably with gold prices exceeding $3,300, well above the company's $2,600 base case assumptions. This positions Blue Lagoon uniquely among junior miners as it transitions from exploration to immediate revenue generation in a sector dominated by speculative plays.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/blue-lagoon-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The CK Gold Project, located just outside Cheyenne, Wyoming, has now cleared every major regulatory hurdle — including air, water, and environmental approvals — and is ready to move toward development.Luke Norman walks us through how U.S. Gold Corp transformed CK from an exploration-stage “science project” into a shovel-ready mine with a 1.5Moz reserve and a robust economic profile. What makes this story different is not just the asset, but the location. With paved roads, nearby rail, grid power, and a skilled local workforce, this is a low-cost build with very few logistical headaches.We also dig into the asset breakdown: about 70% of the economics come from gold and 30% from copper, based on $2,100/oz gold and $4.10/lb copper assumptions. The projected AISC is just $940/oz, and the initial 10-year mine plan is designed for 100,000 oz/year gold equivalent production. But as Luke points out, the current reserve is drill-constrained — and the mineralization continues well beyond the existing pit shell.One key focus of the conversation is how the company plans to finance development without blowing out the share structure. With only 14 million shares outstanding and $15 million in cash, U.S. Gold Corp is looking to raise the ~$300M capex through non-dilutive options like concentrate offtake agreements, federal/state grants, and Wyoming's municipal bond program.We also touch on the broader macro backdrop. Both gold and copper have now been designated as critical minerals in the U.S., with copper demand rising rapidly due to electrification, AI infrastructure, and energy transition. CK Gold is well positioned to meet that demand from a domestic source, with low environmental risk and strong local support.What stood out in this discussion is the company's execution discipline and capital alignment. Luke and CEO George Bee (former builder of Barrick's Goldstrike mine) aren't chasing flashy exploration headlines. They're focused on building a mine — on budget, on time, and with real revenue in sight.We also talk about community support, local benefits (like royalty payments to Wyoming schools), and the unique permitting advantages that come with being located on state ground. CK Gold isn't just a mine — it's a strategic U.S. asset, with real economic and social upside.If you're looking for a near-term U.S. gold-copper story that's fully permitted, tightly structured, and run by experienced mine builders — this is a conversation worth your time.US Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/us-gold-corp

This week, we're talking about an under-discussed part of federal gun law and a significant recent update to it. While most gun owners know you need to pass a background check to buy a gun from a licensed dealer. And most also know you need to pass one to get a concealed carry license. But many don't know their concealed carry license can be used to bypass the sales background check requirement--at least, in certain states. That list of states got longer this week as the result of a Gun Owners of America (GOA) lawsuit and President Donald Trump's executive review of gun policy. Now, 30 states have "Brady Permits" that allow holders to bypass the sales check. GOA's Sam Paredes joins the podcast to walk through the years-long legal fight. He lays out how GOA plans to lobby states to change their laws to qualify for the alternative status. He also said GOA plans to file follow-up suits to get ATF to recognize even more permits.

Interview with Walter Coles, Executive Chairman of Skeena Resources Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/skeena-resources-tsxske-fully-funded-high-grade-gold-poised-for-production-5657Recording date: 29th May 2025Skeena Gold & Silver is developing the Eskay Creek Mine in British Columbia, positioned to become one of the world's largest gold-silver mines when production begins in early 2027. This project represents a compelling investment opportunity with exceptional economics, significant upside potential, and multiple near-term catalysts that could drive substantial share price appreciation.The project's economics are truly remarkable. At $3,200/oz gold price, Eskay Creek boasts an after-tax NPV of $4.5 billion and an extraordinary 72% internal rate of return. This translates to a payback period of just over six months on the $700 million construction cost. Most impressively, Skeena's all-in sustainable cost per ounce is projected at less than $600 for the first six years of production, compared to approximately $1,700 for major producers like Barrick and Newmont. "We have a project that's super super low on the cost curve, enormously profitable per ounce of production.", explains Coles. This cost advantage creates exceptional profit margins even at much lower gold prices.Skeena has secured comprehensive financing through Orion Resource Partners, removing a major uncertainty that typically impacts junior developers. The $750 million package includes equity, a gold stream, and debt facilities. Since announcing this funding, Skeena's stock has nearly tripled from around $6 to $17 Canadian. The company is now exploring refinancing options to reduce its cost of capital as the project de-risks.Beyond the base case, Skeena is advancing several value-enhancement initiatives. The company plans to extend the mine life from 12 to 15-16 years by incorporating the high-grade Snip deposit and the Albino Lake waste facility. Additionally, Skeena has identified significant antimony, lead, and zinc content worth potentially 2.2 million tons of waste tailings that could be recovered with minimal additional costs.Investors can look forward to several near-term catalysts such as final permits expected in Q4 2025, refinancing of the Orion loan facility in Q1 2026, updated feasibility study in the first half of 2026, and production commencement in early 2027.Skeena's partnership with the Tahltan First Nation adds another layer of strength to the project. The company signed the first agreement in Canada giving a First Nation formal consent rights over a mining project, creating a true partnership that reduces social and political risk factors.For investors seeking exposure to precious metals with significant upside potential, Skeena offers a rare combination of exceptional grade, economics, and execution capability in a tier-one jurisdiction. As the company advances toward production and begins generating substantial cash flow, the valuation gap with producing peers is likely to close, potentially delivering substantial returns to investors who position themselves ahead of these developments.View Skeena Gold & Silver's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/skeena-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Today, Jim and Greg each offer three key examples where the press is failing the public.First, Jim sounds the alarm on the national debt and the media's refusal to grapple with the long-term consequences of unsustainable entitlement spending. With Democrats now opposing cuts proposed by DOGE, the press is fixated on the political drama while ignoring the looming fiscal disaster. Meanwhile, Greg blasts the media for siding with illegals in deportation cases while downplaying or completely ignoring the violent crimes committed by individuals living in the U.S. illegally.Next, Jim flags the lack of serious reporting on China's growing aggression in the South China Sea, warning that the threat is real but getting very little coverage or condemnation. Greg turns to California, where wildfire victims are still waiting on government permits to rebuild their homes, just as he and Jim predicted would happen months ago.Finally, Jim asks why more Americans aren't demanding that U.S. colleges prioritize American students over international applicants.
