“If you don't think in 15 years that we're going to value decarbonisation, or if you're worried about the 45Q, it's pretty tough to write that multi-billion dollar cheque,” says Peter Findlay, Director of CCUS Economics at Wood Mackenzie. In this week's Interchange Recharged, Peter sits down again with host Sylvia Leyva Martinez to look at the challenges for new CCUS projects. It's tough, as Peter says, because of the regulatory frameworks, financial mechanisms and incentives that currently exist in the US. To look at these and go deep on the legal barriers for CCUS deployment, Peter and Sylvia are also joined by Liz McGinley, partner at Bracewell Law Firm. Liz leads the firm's tax practice and the energy transition team, and is renowned for her expertise in carbon capture and IRA tax credits. Liz discusses the intricate details of tax credits and regulatory updates while Peter reflects on the financial challenges of decarbonisation projects. In this episode:What will future legislative shifts mean for the industry's growth? How might regulatory shifts under the Trump administration impact clean energy and CCUS projects, including potential changes to clean hydrogen, fuels, and power regulations?How do the costs and complexities of pre-combustion and post-combustion CCUS projects differ, and how are financial incentives structured for each?For more detailed analyis, check out the Lens reports from Wood Mac.

George Ogilvie, President and CEO of Arizona Sonoran Copper (TSX:ASCU – OTCQX:ASCUF), joins us to outline all the ongoing derisking work building towards a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the Cactus Project in Arizona, as the next key company milestone. The overall Cactus Project now contains over 11 billion pounds (“lbs”) of copper in all categories – 7.3 billion lbs of copper in measured and indicated, and 3.8 billion lbs in the inferred category. We start off having George share how the incorporation of the MainSpring area into the larger Parks-Salyer deposit, has allowed for a shift from underground mining over to an open-pit mining method. They are reviewing moving the center of the open pit more towards the high-grade portion of the Park-Salyer deposit, and infill drilling is showing it expanding towards that direction, which should present better economics and a faster payback period in the upcoming PFS. We discuss that there was no royalty on the Mainspring property area, and that in January the Company has bought back 1% of the of the Bronco Creek Exploration net smelter royalty (“NSR”) for a cash payment of US$500,000, reducing the NSR from 1.5% to a remaining 0.5% NSR near the high-grade area of the Parks-Salyer deposit. This gives investors more upside to the project at present, but also presents an area that can be renegotiated with companies when assembling the capital stack down the road. In February a subsidiary of Royal Gold Inc. (RLGD:NASDAQ) has purchased an existing 2.5% NSR on a portion of the Cactus Project for cash consideration of US$55 million from Tembo Capital. ASCU has the right to buy back 0.5% of Royal Gold's aggregate 2.5% NSR for US$7 million, by July 10, 2025. This demonstrates the value that Royal Gold sees in the project. Additionally, on January 31st Arizona Sonoran announced that it closed its private placement with Hudbay Minerals Inc. of 11,955,270 common shares at a price of C$1.68 for gross proceeds to the Company of C$20,084,853 million. Additionally, Nuton LLC, a Rio Tinto Venture, exercised its pre-emptive rights in respect of the Hudbay Placement, pursuant to the terms of its investor rights agreement, to maintain its 7.2% equity interest in the Company for gross proceeds of C$1,562,210. Seeing strategic shareholders like Royal Gold, Hudbay Minerals, and Rio Tinto involved demonstrates a strong vetting process and validation of the importance of the Cactus Project. The Cactus PEA released last year envisages an average 86k short ton (172 million pound) per annum open pit copper heap leaching operation over a 31-year mine life (“LOM”). In total, 5.3 billion lbs or 2.7 million short tons of LME Grade A copper cathodes is detailed for production directly onsite via solvent extraction and electrowinning hydrometallurgical processing. We discuss how the plan to produce high-purity copper cathodes domestically, presents distinct advantages in light of the new US copper tariffs. There will be more challenging effects on other companies that need to send copper concentrates over to Asian smelters and then will be subject to those tariffs. George outlines how 40,000 meters of drilling will mainly be infilling areas in the MainSpring property from inferred to measured and indicated, as well as further defining and expanding the resources at the Park-Salyer main area. There is also more metallurgical work to prepare for incorporating these areas into the upcoming PFS, projected to come out in the Fall of 2025. The company is also looking at acquiring more adjacent private land that will assist with optimizing the site layout for development. George highlights the strength of the infrastructure in place, the access to power, and the George also provides some updates on permitting for the project, and the importance of it being on private land to help expedite the process, and that they should be submitting their applications later this year for administrative acceptance by early 2026, and then approval 6 months later. This will time out well with their Bankable Feasibility Study and the capital stack coming together for a construction decision late next year. If you have any follow up questions for George about Arizona Sonoran, then please email us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com and we'll get those reviewed by the company.

Explosive demand for artificial intelligence, cloud services, and low-latency connectivity is reshaping the landscape for data center construction in the U.S. With hyperscalers and enterprises alike racing to deploy infrastructure closer to end users, new builds are increasingly challenged by the need for high-capacity power, complex permitting, and skilled labor. According to CBRE, U.S. data center inventory grew by 26% in 2023, and capacity constraints are expected to continue as AI-related workloads surge through 2025.So, what does it take to get a data center online today, and what's keeping many projects from starting?This episode of Pro AV Today dives into that question with Syed Hussain, Senior Director of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Dycom Industries, a nationwide telecom construction company. Host Ben Thomas speaks with Syed on-site at Connected America 2025 about fiber, power, cooling, and why planning for edge deployments starts years in advance.Key Topics Covered:Power and cooling are the primary constraints: While fiber placement can be complex, the bigger bottlenecks are finding enough energy and keeping chips cool at scale.Permitting remains a challenge: Running fiber often requires routing through railways, tribal lands, and other restricted areas, adding time and risk to already tight deployment windows.Planning is everything: From chip supply to project sequencing, organizations entering the data center construction space need to plan years to execute effectively.Syed Hussain is a seasoned telecom infrastructure executive with over 25 years of experience in engineering, network planning, construction, and operations. He has led large-scale fiber and broadband deployment projects across the U.S., overseeing multi-million-dollar capital budgets and teams of directors, managers, and technical staff at companies like Comcast, CenturyLink, and now Dycom Industries. His expertise spans strategic planning, municipal permitting, vendor coordination, and leadership development, with a consistent track record of delivering high-impact network builds on time and within budget.

Matt Badiali, Editor of The New Energy Investor published under Mangrove Investor, joins us to assess what President Trump's new executive order to fast-track critical mineral development in the U.S. really means for the mining sector - and where investors should be paying attention. While the order includes aggressive timelines and a broad list of minerals, even gold, Matt believes it's more of a political signal than a regulatory breakthrough. Without actual changes to permitting laws and processes, he argues the order won't speed up mine development on its own. That said, it could succeed in attracting new capital to the sector, especially for U.S.-based projects and companies stuck in permitting limbo. Matt highlights how high-profile assets like Pebble, Resolution, and projects across Minnesota and South Carolina are now back in focus as permitting plays gain momentum. But he cautions that without deeper policy reform, and funding, many of these projects could remain stalled. He also explains why a key section of the executive order, invoking the Defense Production Act to support project financing, might be the most impactful. If capital finally starts flowing from U.S. agencies into early-stage exploration or advanced development projects, it could represent a major turning point for the sector.

Glenn Jessome, President and CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX.V:SLVR – OTCQX:SLVTF), joins us to unpack the key takeaways from the Swiss Mining Institute (SMI) conference, the sentiment from retail and institutional investors in Europe, the continued permitting improvements from the new political administration in Mexico, and the ongoing exploration and development work at its 100% owned, silver-gold El Tigre Project. There appears to a be robust European appetite to invest in the precious metals and gold and silver stocks, and Glenn notes that the commodities funds as well as generalist funds are finally seeing capital inflows to invest into PM stocks. Investors are also opening up to Mexico as a mining jurisdiction, now that more permitting progress is announced, and we recap some of the constructive comments from Fernando Aboitiz, Head of the Extractive Activities Coordination Unit, Ministry of Economy, during the Mexico Mining Forum 2025 PDAC. Wrapping up we focus on the work the Company is continuing to do as they await their open-pit permits, where Glenn is lining up and analyzing financial term sheets for the capex needed to build the open-pit mine at El Tigre, and the company is continuing to drill from underground targeting the high-grade silver veins, and the Sulfide and Shale Zones that will feed into the upcoming PEA on the second phase of underground mining. If you have any follow up questions for Glenn about Silver Tiger, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.

Spain's utility Iberdrola is upgrading its pre-existing hydropower reservoirs to pumped hydro - a huge potential storage reservoir for Western Europe. The UK has announced it will expedite offshore wind permitting times, potentially halving lead times in the world's second-largest market for such projectsSome perovskite solar manufacturers have raised the funding they need to fund mass production and commercialisation - but many others haven't yet, in the context of economic uncertainty and a looming recession.
Wind and solar are among the cheapest energy sources available today, but even when clean-energy projects are ready to go, a cumbersome permit process is slowing down their implementation. Allison Prang wrote a New York Times article about a Minnesota experiment to cut the red tape that is impeding the state's ability to achieve its clean-energy goals. She spoke to MPR chief meteorologist Paul Huttner about her reporting. The transcript below has been lightly edited for clarity and length. Minnesota has a goal of carbon-free on the electric grid by 2040. How does this new law help speed up that process?When I talked to Governor Walz, he said it was fair to say that without doing some reform for the state's permitting process, it would be tough for Minnesota to hit that goal.I talked to one lawyer who works with companies that are working on projects, getting them approved in the state. He said it's taken some as long as 13 months, and people are hoping that the permanent reform law could shave off the typical timeline by several months. If it does what they want, it could make it much quicker for projects to come online. Is this just in Minnesota, or is this a national problem, too? Permitting reform is a very unsexy and yet super crucial topic that the whole country is grappling with. In Washington, members of Congress have tried to tackle the issue, because it does have bipartisan support. But it's not just a national issue; there are things states can do to tackle the problem. Like Minnesota, other states have also passed laws trying to make the process easier at home, and sometimes localities are involved. It really depends on where an energy developer is working — what state, what area in the state? That's why it's so complicated. It really, really is situational. What should we be watching for with getting these projects to the grid going forward?The really big thing that's happening in the backdrop of all of this is that not only are we seeing the country electrify more broadly — and states and localities have these climate goals — but we're also going to see an increase in power demand like we haven't seen in decades. So that's happening at the same time, and part of that is because we're seeing more data centers come online. We just need more power as a country. A lot of people are watching if the new Congress will be able to get a permitting reform bill over the finish line, what that would look like, and asking would that make permanent renewables easier? It's going to be really interesting to see if the country can tackle this problem and make it easier, so that we can kind of meet this really crazy moment of this expected increase in demand.To hear the full conversation, click play on the audio player above or subscribe to the Climate Cast podcast.

In poker there's a move called “Buying the pot”. This is when one person makes a very large bet in an attempt to discourage others from continuing the hand. But what if we're not talking poker? What if we're talking permit fees for the use of your own land? That is exactly what George Sheetz sued the County of El Dorado California for.
James McWalter is the CEO and co-founder of Paces, an AI-powered software platform that helps clean energy project developers identify and evaluate the best sites for new projects. Paces streamlines the process by integrating interconnection, environmental, zoning, and legal data on land parcels—key factors developers must navigate when selecting viable locations. MCJ is proud to be an investor in Paces through our venture funds.In renewable project development, one of the biggest challenges is quickly pinpointing sites with the highest likelihood of reaching operation efficiently. As James explains, this process depends on multiple factors: the capacity of the local grid, whether upgrades are needed to connect a project, the feasibility of permitting, and more. And as we discuss, the recent AI-driven data center boom is intensifying the urgency and complexity of each of these considerations.Paces' platform is being used by both clean energy developers and data center developers who need to get projects built as quickly, cost-effectively, and cleanly as possible. A few months ago, Paces co-authored a white paper with Scale Microgrids and Stripe Climate titled Fast, Scalable, Clean, and Cheap Enough: How Off-Grid Solar Microgrids Can Power the AI Race—a report that sparked a lot of conversation. In it, they explore whether the forecasted energy demands of AI can be met with off-grid, behind-the-meter projects.Oh, and James also hosts his own podcast, Build Repeat, where he interviews project developers and others actively building and deploying clean energy solutions.With all that said, James and I dive into his background, the origins of Paces, and much more in this episode.In this episode, we cover: [2:48] Introduction to Paces and James' background[6:26] The origin story of Paces and how James met his co-founder, Charles[9:24] Key challenges faced by clean energy project developers[11:45] Permitting bottlenecks and delays[14:57] The growing challenge of decreasing grid capacity[16:01] How Paces' software addresses site selection challenges[19:11] The role of NIMBY opposition in the permitting process[22:42] How developers leverage Paces' platform[24:51] Paces' customer segmentation and user types[28:08] How Paces supports data center development[30:16] Insights from Paces' white paper on off-grid solutions for AI-driven data centers (available at offgridai.us)[38:49] The feasibility of achieving 100% renewable energy for data centers[46:10] Paces' fundraising to date and the types of partners they're looking forEpisode recorded on Feb 19, 2025 (Published on March 6, 2025) Enjoyed this episode?

Former President Biden's final days in office involved signing an US$840 million energy contract with Constellation - a statement of intent for the US's largest nuclear supplier. Since then, what's changed with nuclear policy? To find out, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez – a principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie – welcomes Maria Korsnick, President and CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute to the show. Maria says that despite uncertainties, there's no reason large reactors couldn't achieve costs as low as US$60 to US$80 per megawatt-hour. Utilities are eyeing an additional 100GW of nuclear power by 2050 – driven in large part by demand from data centers and the tech giants. So how is the industry going to meet this demand? New technology? More permitting reform? More investment? Join us as Maria reveals the industry's strategic momentum and the pivotal role nuclear plays in providing round-the-clock, highly reliable and cleaner energy. Engagement with both state and tech sectors could shift nuclear from perceived outsider to mainstream option. Expect in-depth analysis on how the US is positioning itself to meet skyrocketing energy demands, especially from the ever-expanding tech sector.Follow the show wherever you get podcasts, and we'll be back in two weeks time, Tuesday at 7am.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Interview with Nico Cookson, Head of Corporate Development & Strategy of Marimaca CopperOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/marimaca-copper-tsxmari-high-grade-discovery-for-mine-builder-6499Recording date: 18th February 2025Marimaca Copper Corp (TSX: MARI) announced a significant step forward in permitting its flagship Marimaca Copper Project in Chile. The company has received the Consolidated Request for Clarifications, Rectifications and/or Extensions (ICSARA) from environmental regulators, marking the first milestone in the evaluation of its submitted Environmental Impact Statement (DIA).This progress keeps Marimaca on track to potentially receive its Environmental Qualification Resolution (RCA) and full project approval in late 2025. Permitting is one of the most critical risk factors for any mining project, so successful navigation of this process is essential for Marimaca to transition from an explorer to a copper producer.The ICSARA provides the initial feedback and additional information requests from the multi-agency regulatory review of Marimaca's comprehensive 4,000+ page DIA submission. The DIA, which the company filed in December 2024, was the culmination of several years of baseline data collection, analysis and project design work.Marimaca will now respond to the ICSARA, addressing any outstanding regulatory queries. The company noted that sustainability and social considerations have been core to the project design from the outset, which it believes aligns with Chile's goal to grow critical minerals supply in a responsible manner.In parallel with permitting, Marimaca is also advancing a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) on the oxide project and continuing exploration on the nearby Pampamadena targets. The company sees the potential to develop a scalable mining district anchored by the Marimaca deposit.The global copper market is widely forecast to enter a period of structural supply deficits and higher prices later this decade, as demand growth from electrification outpaces supply. With the permitting process advancing as expected, Marimaca appears well-positioned to capitalize on this window of opportunity.As one of the more advanced oxide copper projects in Chile, Marimaca offers investors exposure to a relatively low-risk, quick-to-production asset with meaningful upside potential in a premier mining jurisdiction. Successful completion of permitting is the key to unlocking this value.—View Marimaca Copper's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/marimaca-copperSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Justin Reid, President and CEO of Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF), joins me for a comprehensive update of the key derisking work programs, additions to personnel, detailed engineering, more drilling initiatives, permitting updates, and working on building the capital stack for the Troilus Project located in northcentral Quebec, Canada. We start off discussing four new team members on Troilus that will be bringing in key experience on the engineering, development, construction, and execution on the move to take the project into a producing mine over the next few years. On January 28th the Company announced that it has awarded BBA Inc. (“BBA”) the contract for basic and detailed engineering work for the copper and gold Troilus Project; which is a key milestone on the path to construction. BBA is a leading Canadian engineering consulting firm with over 40 years of experience that played a significant role in the development of some of Canada's most successful and largest gold operations, including the Canadian Malartic Mine and Detour Lake. Next we touched up on the importance of infill drilling for gaining higher confidence ounces in the resource and for the mining sequence, as well as near-pit drilling where he touched upon the positive drill results forming part of a 1,866-metre exploratory drill program on its newly discovered “West Rim” VMS (Volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposit) target, located within 150 metres of the North Reserve Pit Shell. We also get into the permitting timelines, where Justin highlights the ongoing work the company has been doing for years, in tandem with maintaining the already fully permitted areas of the Project. The last big receivables for the permitting being the environmental and mine closure permits will be kicking off soon with a look to receive them back in late 2025, or more likely early 2026 Wrapping up we discuss the capital stack starting to come together and reviewed the 4 different LOIs adding up collectively to US$1.3billion that were each announced in November news releases from the German export credit agency (“ECA”) Euler Hermes, the Finland ECA, Finnvera plc and the Swedish export credit agency, EKN, and Export Development Canada (EDC). Justin goes on to explain how they will not need to utilize all those ECA funds, where they can also strike the balance between those inputs being converted over to tradition debt, equity, forward sales, and royalty or streams that will be coming together to form the capital stack for project construction. This also highlights the importance of the copper concentrate components of the copper to these other organizations, even more so than the gold, and makes the Troilus Project very financeable. * If you have any questions for Justin regarding Troilus Gold, then please email them over to me at Shad@kereport.com.
