The night sky is filled with monsters. And none are more fearsome than the Gorgons – three sisters who were so hideous that a single glance at them turned the observer to stone. One of them was beheaded by Perseus the hero. His constellation shows him holding the head, which is outlined by four stars – the Gorgons. In mythology, two of the sisters were immortal. But the third, Medusa, was not. Perseus managed to lop off her head with the help of the gods. They gave him an invisibility cloak, a diamond sword, and a bronze shield. He could safely view the Gorgons by looking at their reflection in the shield. Perseus used Medusa’s head to destroy the sea monster, Cetus, which was about to kill the princess Andromeda. Cetus and Andromeda have their own constellations, as do Andromeda’s parents. The brightest star in Medusa’s head is Algol – a name that means “head of the demon.” It’s low in the northeast in early evening and climbs high across the sky later on. The other Gorgons form an arc to the right of Algol. One is fairly easy to spot, while the other two require a darker sky. All four of the Gorgon stars are bigger, heavier, and brighter than the Sun. Algol is a couple of hundred light-years away, while the other three are about a hundred light-years farther. The Gorgons form a demonic presence in the sky – shining down on Halloween weekend. We’ll have more about Halloween tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield
Interview with Craig Jones, Managing Director & CEO of Perseus MiningOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/perseus-mining-asxpru-record-financial-results-capital-returns-7829Recording date: 27th October 2025Perseus Mining has embarked on a new leadership chapter with Craig Jones assuming the managing director and CEO role, bringing 15 years of operational and capital project expertise from Newcrest Mining to guide the African-focused gold producer through an ambitious expansion phase.Jones outlined a strategy centered on operational continuity rather than radical change. The focus remains squarely on delivering Perseus's five-year growth plan, which encompasses three key pillars: maintaining performance across existing operations, ramping up the Nyanzaga project in Tanzania by March quarter 2027, and developing CMA Underground as the company's first underground mine.The September quarter results underscored the operational foundation supporting this growth agenda. Perseus produced just under 100,000 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $1,463 per ounce, generating $161 million in operating cash flow while maintaining an industry-leading safety record with a 6.0 total reportable injury frequency rate. The company ended the quarter with net cash and bullion of $837 million.This robust balance sheet positions Perseus to fund more than $800 million in planned capital expenditure over five years without requiring debt financing, while simultaneously supporting a $100 million share buyback program. "We can fund all of our aspirations through the cash that we have on the balance sheet," Jones stated.All three operating mines - Yaouré and Sissingué in Côte d'Ivoire, and Edikan in Ghana are transitioning to higher-grade ore sources that should lift production in coming quarters. Meanwhile, the Nyanzaga project is tracking on schedule and budget with over 1,000 workers on site, mill fabrication ahead of schedule, and promising exploration results suggesting a potential reserve update later this year.Jones emphasized Perseus's commitment to its African focus, noting that any acquisitions outside the region would require compelling strategic rationale. "You have to stick to your knitting," he explained, highlighting the company's expertise in building and operating mines across West Africa as its core competitive advantage in creating shareholder value.View Perseus Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/perseus-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Send us a textIn this episode of The AstroGuy Podcast, Wayne explores what's happening in the night sky this November. The evening skies are filled with bright planets — Jupiter shines brilliantly all month, Saturn's rings appear nearly edge-on, and Uranus reaches opposition on November 21st, making this the best time of the year to view the distant ice giant. Neptune remains faint in Pisces, while Mercury, Mars, and Venus make brief appearances near sunrise and sunset. Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) continues to impress observers, while Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2) offers a fainter but rewarding binocular challenge. The Leonid meteor shower peaks on November 17th and 18th under dark, moonless skies, with about a dozen meteors per hour expected. In space news, SpaceX achieved another milestone with the successful dual splashdowns of Starship and its booster during Flight 11. This month's lunar feature is Gassendi Crater, a striking, terraced impact crater on the edge of Mare Humorum.The Deep Sky Tour focuses on Perseus, high in the eastern sky on November evenings. Wayne shares the mythology behind the hero who rescued Andromeda and highlights Perseus's brightest stars — Mirfak and Algol — along with several deep sky treasures.Wayne also previews the next episode — an interview with planetary imager Greg Shanos, who recently captured 15 of 16 Titan transits across Saturn.

Algol does something amazing. Every 2.9 days, the star fades to just one-third of its usual brightness. In centuries past, the stars were thought to be unchanging. A star that changed so blatantly was a bit scary. So it was given a name to match: “Algol” comes from an Arabic phrase that means “head of the demon.” But the star’s odd behavior isn’t scary it all – Algol fades as the result of eclipses. The system consists of three stars. Two of them form a tight binary. The members of the binary orbit each other once every 2.9 days. We see the system edge-on, so the two stars eclipse each other. One star is much brighter than the other. When the fainter star crosses in front of it, the system fades dramatically. When the bright star covers up the faint one, though, the difference is tiny – much too subtle to see with the eye alone. Astronomers have cataloged hundreds of eclipsing binaries. And the eclipses are important. They reveal the relative sizes and masses of the two stars, details about their orbit, and more. So there’s nothing to fear from these up-and-down star systems. Algol is low in the northeast at nightfall, in Perseus. It should be at its brightest tonight. The faint part of its cycle will happen during daylight for the next few cycles. It’ll be visible during nighttime later in the month. Sometimes, a star can change brightness all on its own, and we’ll have more about that tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield
California is the land of the stars. It’s also in the stars as the California Nebula – a cloud of gas and dust that looks like the outline of the state. It’s more than a thousand light-years away, in Perseus. The nebula belongs to a giant star-forming complex – the Perseus O-B-2 association. The region has given birth to many class O and B stars – the biggest and brightest of all stars. The California Nebula probably is energized by one of those stars, known as Xi Persei. The star is more than 30 times the mass of the Sun, and tens of thousands of degrees hotter. At that temperature, it produces huge amounts of ultraviolet energy. When that radiation zaps hydrogen atoms, it splits them apart. When they link back up, the atoms produce red light – the main color of the nebula. Oxygen and other elements produce their own colors, but they’re not nearly as common as hydrogen. The California Nebula probably is about a hundred light-years long. It’s likely to split into smaller clumps that will collapse to form even more stars. But radiation and winds from Xi Persei and other big stars will blow away much of the nebula’s material – limiting the number of new stars for this cosmic California. Perseus climbs into good view, in the northeast, in early evening. Xi Persei is visible to the naked eye, near the bottom of the constellation. But you need a telescope to see the faint outline of the California Nebula. Script by Damond Benningfield
Xi Persei doesn’t look all that imposing. The star shines at fourth magnitude, so it’s visible under dark skies, but not from cities and towns. But that’s only because it’s a long way off – about 1200 light-years. In reality, it’s one of the most impressive stars visible to the human eye. Perseus climbs the eastern sky on autumn evenings. It consists of a couple of ribbons of stars that join at Mirfak, the constellation’s leading light. And it contains the most famous variable star in the sky: Algol, the Demon Star, which fades and brightens every three days. Yet neither can compare with Xi Persei, which is near the bottom of the longer ribbon. At visible wavelengths, it’s about 13,000 times brighter than the Sun. But it’s tens of thousands of degrees hotter than the Sun, so it emits most of its light in the ultraviolet. When you add that in, Xi Persei is a quarter of a million times the Sun’s brightness. The key to that showiness is the star’s mass – roughly 30 times the Sun’s mass. At that great heft, gravity squeezes its core tightly, revving up its nuclear engine. Energy works its way to the surface, making Xi Persei hot and bright. Before long, it’ll get even hotter and brighter. It’ll explode as a supernova, briefly shining brighter than billions of normal stars – a brilliant demise for an impressive star. Xi Persei energizes a nearby cloud of gas, and we’ll have more about that tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield
The UK's 2025 Data Act marks a turning point in how data is shared and governed. Just as common standards in telecoms and banking unlocked innovation, trusted data could be the key to credible climate action. But with carbon reporting fragmented and confidence in the numbers low, can open data really help us reach net zero?In this episode of Tech Tomorrow, David Elliman speaks with Gavin Starks, founder of Icebreaker One, about why net zero is impossible without shared, reliable data. They draw lessons from open banking—how standards, governance, and collaboration turned a technical challenge into a multi-billion-pound ecosystem—and ask what it would take to do the same for climate.They also spotlight Icebreaker One's project Perseus, which is building the data infrastructure to automate SME sustainability reporting and connect emissions data directly with green finance. By cutting friction for small businesses and giving banks numbers they can trust, Perseus shows how shared data can turn compliance into opportunity.Episode Highlights:01:00 – An introduction to Gavin.01:25 – When we talk about open data in the context of climate action, what do we actually mean?04:17 – The parallels between open banking and net zero.06:25 – David's thoughts: Finding clarity in carbon reporting.07:47 – The current crisis in carbon reporting.11:05 – When it comes to getting this right, 90% of the work is governance.13:37 – David's thoughts: The power of narrow use cases.15:02 – Why open banking was a success.16:54 – When it comes to sustainability, compliance should really be the floor and opportunity should be the ceiling.19:04 – David's thoughts: The 2025 UK Data Act.20:43 – Why 2025 is an inflection point for data in the UK.22:57 – What does Gavin think will happen next?25:53 – Is net zero even possible without open data?About Zühlke:Zühlke is a global transformation partner, with engineering and innovation at its core.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 3, 2025 is: gibbous JIB-us adjective Gibbous is most often used to describe the moon or a planet when it is seen with more than half but not all of the apparent disk illuminated. // The waxing gibbous moon provided the perfect lighting for a night of spooky storytelling around the campfire. See the entry > Examples: “At 3:30 a.m. the gibbous moon is high in the south and Perseus is nearly overhead. Set up a comfortable lawn chair facing away from any bright lights, ideally looking toward the northeast with the moon to your back. Have insect repellent handy along with hot chocolate, tea or coffee and enjoy the show.” — Tim Hunter, The Arizona Daily Star, 7 Aug. 2025 Did you know? The adjective gibbous has its origins in the Latin noun gibbus, meaning “hump.” It was adopted into Middle English to describe rounded, convex things. While it has been used to describe the rounded body parts of humans and animals (such as the back of a camel) and to describe the shape of certain flowers (such as snapdragons), the term is most often used to describe the moon: a gibbous moon is one that is between half full and full.

The constellations are well armed. Several of the star patterns that depict people or gods are carrying weapons. And some of them are in good view at this time of year. As darkness falls, look low in the west for the brilliant star Arcturus. It stands at the base of Botes the herdsman. Like many of the ancient star figures, Botes has different stories, and is drawn in different ways. In most depictions, he’s holding something long and straight against his right side. In some cases, it’s a staff. But in others, it’s a spear. Well above Botes is Hercules, marked by a lopsided box of four stars. He’s wrestling the multi-headed hydra. And in some depictions, he’s holding up a club. In the south, look for Sagittarius. To modern eyes, it forms the outline of a teapot. But to the ancients, those stars formed an archer. The star at the outer edge of the spout is the point where he’s gripping both bow and arrow. And low in the northeast there’s a figure with a unique weapon. Perseus the hero is holding the head of Medusa. In mythology, anyone looking at Medusa was turned to stone. Perseus managed to sever the head, then used it to save the princess Andromeda from a monster. And if you’re stargazing before dawn, there’s another armed figure, well up in the south: Orion the hunter. He has two weapons. He’s holding a club in an upraised arm, with a sword strapped to his belt – a heavily armed figure in the stars. Script by Damond Benningfield

This week on The Creep Dive, Jen goes fully intergalactic spiral as she uncovers the extremely unsettling fact that black holes are making noises and not just weird cosmic static, but literal sound waves that AI has now decoded.NASA picked up a low, eerie moan coming from the Perseus cluster. Totally normal black hole behaviour? Apparently, yes. But when researchers turned their attention to Sagittarius A* the one at the centre of our galaxy it got real weird. Because not only is it spinning almost as fast as physically possible… it's also spinning directly at us. Like it knows we're watching.Add in some machine-learned harmonics, error-correcting code embedded in the laws of physics, and a general feeling that the universe might actually be a highly efficient rendered lie, and suddenly Simulation Theory isn't just something Elon Musk says to make dinner parties worse.Come spiral with us.Wanna hear what a black hole actually sounds like?Wanna spiral deeper into the cosmic void without ad breaks interrupting your existential crisis?Support us on www.Patreon.com/TheCreepDive and get full episodes, bonus weirdness, ad-free spirals and maybe… just maybe… a glimpse beyond the veil.(Or at the very least, behind Jen's eyeballs as she absolutely loses it over time not being real.)

Interview with Jeff Quartermaine, Managing Director & CEO of Perseus Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/perseus-mining-asxpru-african-gold-producer-targets-25m-ounces-over-five-years-7295Recording date: 25th July 2025Perseus Mining's June 2025 quarter results demonstrate the compelling investment case for this African-focused gold producer, with cash and bullion balances reaching $827 million on continued operational excellence. The company delivered 121,237 ounces during the quarter at all-in sustaining costs of $1,417 per ounce, generating substantial margins of $1,560 per ounce at current gold prices. This performance extends Perseus's track record of consistent operational delivery across its three African mines, with full-year production of 496,551 ounces at $1,235 per ounce costs.The company's financial strength provides a solid foundation for growth initiatives while supporting shareholder returns. Perseus has consistently beaten its own cost guidance over multiple years, demonstrating disciplined capital allocation and operational efficiency. CEO Jeff Quartermaine's conservative guidance approach has resulted in the company regularly delivering below the bottom end of cost ranges, building credibility with investors seeking reliable performers in the volatile mining sector.Perseus's growth trajectory centers on the Nyanzaga project in Tanzania, scheduled for January 2027 production startup. Recent drilling results show spectacular intercepts that could significantly extend mine life beyond the current 11-year projection, with potential underground development adding substantial value. The company's five-year outlook demonstrates sustainable production above 500,000 ounces annually, dispelling concerns about production declines.The investment appeal extends beyond operations to strategic positioning. Perseus's diversified African portfolio provides exposure to underexplored geology while management's proven track record of community engagement and government relations mitigates jurisdiction risks. The company's dynamic hedging strategy offers downside protection while preserving upside exposure in the current favorable gold price environment. With strong cash generation, disciplined cost management, and multiple growth catalysts, Perseus Mining presents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking exposure to a well-managed, growing gold producer positioned to capitalize on sustained precious metals demand.—View Perseus Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/perseus-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
OUR FIRST EVER BOOK, THREE RAVENS FOLK TALES, IS PUBLISHED TODAY!!!Also, we have a new Lang Fairy Tale for you to enjoy. It is called The Terrible Head and it's part Oedipus, part Perseus, part Hercules, and involves the throwing of quoits. Not sure what quoits are? Not a problem - it doesn't really matter anyway...If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastThree Ravens is a myth and folklore podcast hosted by Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux.In each Monday episode we explore a historic county, digging into heritage, folklore and traditions, then we tell a new version of a legend from that county.

Carved in only a few months between 1800-1801, Canova's “Perseus Triumphant” is one of history's great sculptures. It exists in several versions, the most important of which are in the Vatican and Metropolitan Museums. Clearly inspired by Cellini's earlier version, Canova also depicts the Greek hero as he contemplates his victory over the Gorgon as he stares at her severed head.
Interview with Jeff Quartermaine, Managing Director & CEO of Perseus Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/perseus-mining-asxpru-gold-producers-800m-cash-new-production-coming-7050Recording date: 11th June 2025Perseus Mining Limited (ASX: PRU) has released comprehensive five-year guidance targeting 2.5 million ounces of gold production at all-in sustaining costs of $1,400-1,500 per ounce, with an impressive 93% of production backed by JORC-compliant reserves rather than speculative resources. The Australian-listed company, which operates exclusively across African gold mining jurisdictions, aims to address persistent market misconceptions about its asset quality and longevity.CEO Jeff Quartermaine attributes the company's undervaluation to two primary factors: an "African discount" applied by investors wary of continental operations, and incorrect market perceptions about short mine lives. The reality demonstrates Perseus's exceptional ability to extend operational lifespans - the Edikan mine has been extended from its original nine-year life in 2011 to 2031, while Sissingué has grown from 4.5 years in 2018 to the same 2031 timeline.Perseus differentiates itself through a cash-focused strategy rather than chasing production volumes. "What we do at Perseus is that the goal for us is to maximise cash production," Quartermaine explained. With $801 million in cash reserves and daily production of 1,300-1,400 ounces at approximately $1,200 per ounce, the company generates substantial operating cash flow.The growth trajectory includes the Nyanzaga project in Tanzania, Perseus's fourth operation requiring $520 million in capital expenditure and targeting first gold production in January 2027. The company employs sophisticated risk management through zero-cost collar hedging, providing downside protection at $2,600 per ounce while maintaining upside exposure to $4,600 per ounce.Perseus has committed to organic greenfield exploration for the first time, representing a 10-year investment horizon enabled by improved financial positioning. The company's exclusive African focus, combined with proven operational excellence and strategic cash generation, positions it to capitalise on the continent's mining renaissance while many Western competitors have retreated from these markets.View Perseus Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/perseus-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Jeff Quartermaine, Managing Direcotr & CEO of Perseus Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/perseus-mining-asxpru-gold-operations-deliver-22-profit-growth-6748Recording date: 29th April 2025Perseus Mining Limited (ASX/TSX: PRU) has emerged as one of Africa's most compelling gold investment opportunities, demonstrating exceptional financial strength and a clear growth trajectory. With its March 2025 quarter results revealing cash and bullion reserves of US$801 million, zero debt, and an additional US$300 million in undrawn credit facilities, Perseus stands on remarkably solid financial footing among mid-tier gold producers.The company's operational excellence continues to impress, with quarterly production of 121,605 ounces at a competitive all-in site cost (AISC) of US$1,209 per ounce. This efficiency, combined with strong gold prices averaging US$2,462 per ounce during the quarter, has generated substantial cash margins of US$1,253 per ounce and a notional operating cashflow of US$152 million. Such robust margins highlight Perseus's ability to maximize value from its existing asset base.Most significantly, Perseus has now taken the Final Investment Decision to develop the Nyanzaga Gold Project in Tanzania. This strategic expansion represents a US$523 million investment to develop a large-scale, wholly open-pit operation expected to produce first gold in Q1 2027. Over its initial 11-year mine life, Nyanzaga is projected to produce 2.01 million ounces of gold, with production averaging over 200,000 ounces annually from FY28 to FY35 and peaking at 246,000 ounces. The project's strong economics are reflected in its pre-tax NPV10% of US$404 million and IRR of 26%, figures that improve dramatically at higher gold prices.Complementing the Nyanzaga development is Perseus's commitment to the CMA Underground project at its flagship Yaouré operation in Côte d'Ivoire. This development will make history as Côte d'Ivoire's first mechanized underground mine while extending Yaouré's operational life until at least 2035. With Byrnecut appointed as the specialized underground mining contractor and mobilization already underway, the project is advancing rapidly toward portal development in July 2025.Despite these significant capital commitments, Perseus continues to prioritize shareholder returns through its ongoing A$100 million share buyback program, which was approximately 33% complete at quarter-end. This balanced approach to capital allocation demonstrates management's commitment to creating both immediate and long-term value for investors.Perseus Mining has clearly positioned itself for sustainable growth beyond this decade. CEO Jeff Quartermaine's strategy of building "a sustainable, geopolitically diversified but African-focused gold business involving 3-4 operating mines that produce between 500-600koz of gold per annum" is now coming to fruition. With its exceptional financial position, strong operational performance, and two major growth projects underway, Perseus offers investors exposure to a well-managed gold producer with significant upside potential in a favorable gold price environment.—View Perseus Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/perseus-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

NASA just picked up something super weird — a haunting howling sound coming from a black hole, and no one knows exactly what to make of it.
Bio Moiz Doriwala is a seasoned professional with a diverse background spanning real estate finance, investment, and entrepreneurship .... Growing up in Naperville, Illinois, his interest in real estate was sparked by his father's career as a general contractor and developer. He pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from the University of Chicago and an MBA in Finance and Management and Strategy from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management. His early career began in the finance sector with a unique rotational program at Bank One (later JP Morgan Chase), where he gained experience in asset-backed securities trading, commercial loan workouts, leveraged leasing, and even worked in a strategic group under Jamie Dimon. He further honed his investment banking skills in the Financial Sponsor Group of J.P. Morgan Securities in New York, focusing on M&A transactions and various financing activities. In 2005, Mr. Doriwala transitioned to the real estate industry, joining S&R Land Development, LLC in Reston, VA, where he was involved in the development of residential and commercial land. Leveraging his financial acumen and real estate exposure, he later became Vice President of Perseus Realty Capital, LLC, specializing in joint venture equity, preferred equity, and mezzanine financings. In 2008, Mr. Doriwala formed his own umbrella company, Stirling Realty Advisors, LLC, a boutique real estate investment bank that provides financial advisory services, primarily focusing on raising debt and equity capital for real estate developers and operators nationwide. While initially focused on capital raising, Stirling has evolved into a vehicle for his various investment activities. Under the Stirling umbrella, Mr. Doriwala manages and invests in several businesses, including: Bookhill Park: An entity that manages a series of small funds and operates as a finance company, providing opportunistic lending across various industries and geographies Investments in mental health and behavioral health businesses Investments in one off LPs in apartment projects His role as President of Superior Living Foundation Inc., a 501c3 non-profit focused on owning businesses in the healthcare region, such as senior housing and behavioral health facilities1 .... Mr. Doriwala also has experience in the senior housing sector, having served as Treasurer for Meridian Senior Living .... Additionally, he was involved in the mobile home park business for a number of years through BHP, building and eventually exiting a portfolio of parks. Throughout his career, Mr. Doriwala has demonstrated an opportunistic and entrepreneurial approach, building strong relationships and a reputation for his ability to navigate complex transactions and provide creative financial solutions.

[1:26:15] Accepting that not all ventures will succeed and the importance of learning from both successes and failures.

[1:28:30] Advice to his 25-year-old self: Be curious, be patient, be a hustler, slow down (balance opportunism with thorough execution), and be passionate. [1:29:55] Priorities of family, work, and giving back: Family is paramount with a focus on spending time with his children. Strong emphasis on giving back in the education space, both domestically and internationally. [1:30:30] Supporting various educational organizations. [1:31:30] Final question: What would a billboard on the Capitol Beltway say? "Trust your gut."

Interview with Jeff Quartermaine, Managing Director & CEO of Perseus Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/perseus-mining-asxpru-a1b-in-liquid-assets-growing-6623Recording date: 24th February 2025Perseus Mining Limited (ASX/TSX: PRU) has announced robust financial results for the half-year ending December 2024, demonstrating solid performance across its African gold operations. The company reported gold production of 253,709 ounces at an all-in site cost (AISC) of US$1,162 per ounce, positioning it in the upper half of its guided production range while keeping costs below expectations.Financial highlights include revenue of US$581.8 million (up 19% year-on-year), profit after tax of US$201 million (up 22%), and EBITDA of US$352.7 million (up 26%). The company's earnings per ounce reached US$819, representing a 25% increase from the previous comparable period."What's really important from our perspective is that our earnings per ounce are around $819 per ounce, which is 25% higher than in the previous period," noted Jeff Quartermaine, CEO and Managing Director.Perseus's financial strength is evident in its balance sheet, with US$704 million in cash and bullion as of December 31, 2024, an increase of US$117 million in just six months. The company maintains zero debt while having access to a US$300 million undrawn credit facility.This strong position has enabled Perseus to double its interim dividend to 2.5 Australian cents per share and implement a share buyback program of up to A$100 million. As of February 10, 2025, the company had purchased 4,689,269 shares for approximately A$12.16 million.Production was distributed across Perseus's three operating mines: Yaouré (123,158 ounces), Edikan (96,634 ounces), and Sissingué (33,917 ounces). For the June 2025 half-year, the company forecasts production between 215,000 and 250,000 ounces at an AISC of US$1,360-1,435 per ounce.Perseus's growth strategy includes underground development at CMA in Côte d'Ivoire, advancement of the Nyanzaga Gold Project in Tanzania (scheduled to begin production in early 2027), and potential mine life extensions at existing operations.The company employs a measured approach to gold price risk management, with approximately 24% of production hedged at US$2,500 per ounce while allowing the remaining 76% to benefit from current high spot prices."Our business is not about spending money; it's about generating benefits," Quartermaine emphasized, highlighting Perseus's disciplined approach to capital allocation.With its robust financial position, operational efficiency, clear growth pathway, and commitment to shareholder returns, Perseus Mining appears well-positioned to navigate the opportunities and challenges of gold mining in Africa while capitalizing on the current favorable gold price environment.View Perseus Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/perseus-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
