Stephen Grootes speaks to Bernard Swanepoel, Chair of the Joburg Indaba and former mining executive, about key takeaways from Day One - from how global geopolitics are reshaping South Africa’s mining landscape and the renewed importance of PGMs and gold, to what’s on the agenda tomorrow, including coal’s evolving role, reviving diamond mining, updates on Eskom and Transnet, and investor confidence ahead of the Minister’s address. In other interviews, Dion Chang, CEO and Co-founder of FluxTrends, unpacks how social media may have reached its breaking point as platforms drown in outrage and AI-generated content. Chang reflects on whether September 2025 marks the moment social media “jumped the shark,” shifting from a space for connection to a noisy digital wasteland. With Meta and OpenAI launching new AI-driven video platforms, he questions whether users really want more synthetic content - or if they’re turning away in search of authenticity.

‘I think there are better opportunities [than gold], and we are looking at PGMs as the unappreciated commodity market over the next few years' – Tana Mongwe from Old Mutual investment Group.

Recording date: 18th June, 2025 The platinum group metals (PGMs) sector is experiencing a significant rally driven by fundamental supply-demand imbalances and emerging physical demand from China. Since May 1st, platinum has surged 33% while palladium has gained 12.5%, marking a notable shift in markets that had been in deficit for years without corresponding price appreciation.According to investment firm Olive Resource Capital, both platinum and palladium have operated in substantial deficits exceeding 500,000 ounces annually since 2022-2023, representing approximately 5% of their respective markets. The global palladium market totals roughly 9 million ounces annually, while platinum demand reaches about 7 million ounces, making these concentrated markets particularly sensitive to supply-demand shifts.The current catalyst appears to be genuine physical demand from China, where investors are substituting PGMs for gold purchases, creating actual warehouse drawdowns rather than paper trading. This physical buying is removing metal from available supply, creating tangible market tightness. The substitution effect extends beyond investment to jewelry markets, where platinum's discount to gold attracts price-conscious consumers.Supply-side pressures are intensifying structural constraints. South Africa, which produces 56% of global platinum, faces ongoing mine rationalization as deep, labor-intensive operations struggle with profitability at recent price levels. Meanwhile, Russia, contributing 26% of palladium supply, has been liquidating inventory to fund military operations, creating near-term oversupply but longer-term supply concerns.Industrial demand remains robust despite electric vehicle growth. Hybrid vehicles actually require more PGM content than traditional engines due to thermal management needs, while broader industrial applications for emissions reduction continue expanding.The combination of persistent deficits, Chinese physical demand, South African supply rationalization, and stable industrial consumption has created conditions for sustained price appreciation. With only 18 months of above-ground platinum inventory and mine development timelines extending 7-10 years, supply response capabilities appear limited, potentially supporting a multi-year bull market in PGMs.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Plus, CrowdStrike's results, Omnia's cash pile (and SARS headache), and what falling bond yields mean for SA. In this episode:
Interview with Jason Jessup, CEO of Magna Mining Inc.Our previous interview: Recording date: 4th June 2025Magna Mining. presents a compelling investment opportunity as one of the few junior mining companies delivering immediate copper production with clear pathways to operational scaling. Following the February 2025 acquisition of the McCreedy West mine in Ontario's Sudbury basin, the company generated positive cash flow of $300,000 in its first operational month while producing 790,000 pounds of copper equivalent—results that exceeded management expectations during what was effectively a three-week transition period.The company's operational success validates its production-focused strategy in a market where most copper juniors remain years away from meaningful revenue generation. CEO Jason Jessup, who previously operated McCreedy West during peak production periods exceeding 2,500 tons daily, brings proven expertise to optimize operations. The company has already implemented operational improvements including expanded shift schedules and contractor-supported development work to increase production capacity and workplace access.Magna Mining's recent $33.5 million financing round, comprising $23.5 million in convertible debentures and $10 million equity secured, provides working capital for operational optimization and growth initiatives. The company plans to invest $5-10 million this year in capital development at McCreedy West, focusing on sustainable expansion rather than short-term cash maximization. This disciplined approach positions the company for long-term value creation while maintaining financial flexibility.The company's competitive advantage extends beyond current production to include four additional fully permitted past-producing mines with combined NI 43-101 resources exceeding 50 million tons of copper, nickel, and PGM mineralization. The adjacent Levack mine offers particular near-term growth potential with recent drilling revealing high-grade copper zones of 24% copper plus PGMs within 200 meters of surface in previously unmined areas. An internal restart study for Levack is expected in Q4 2025, with a new resource estimate anticipated by end of Q3 2025.Magna Mining's bootstrap growth model differentiates it from capital-intensive development projects requiring multi-billion dollar investments and multi-year construction timelines. The company can fund expansion through operating cash flow, minimizing shareholder dilution while maintaining control over development timing. This approach appeals to institutional investors seeking copper exposure without the execution risks associated with large-scale development projects.The Sudbury jurisdiction provides additional competitive advantages including stable regulatory framework, established infrastructure, and access to skilled labor from the region's 180,000-person population with extensive mining experience. Established customer relationships with Vale and Glencore ensure secure off-take arrangements and predictable revenue streams.Strong institutional backing supports the investment thesis, with over 50% institutional ownership including 21% held by Dundee Corp, whose leader Jonathan Goodman serves on Magna Mining's board. Management and board retain approximately 10% ownership, aligning interests with shareholders.As CEO Jessup noted, "No one has what we got like we have a producing mine in the best jurisdiction I would say in North America for copper and nickel mining and four other fully permitted past producing mines." This unique combination of immediate production, scalable growth opportunities, and reduced development risk positions Magna Mining as an attractive copper investment in a supply-constrained market where traditional development projects face increasing capital and execution challenges.With $38 million cash on hand and clear catalysts including quarterly production reports and the upcoming Levack study results, Magna Mining offers investors a de-risked pathway to copper sector exposure with multiple value creation opportunities.View Magna Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/magna-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Compass, episode 13Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/why-smart-money-is-chasing-mining-royalty-companies-7032Recording date: 28th April 2025The investment landscape has settled into a period of relative calm following an eventful first quarter marked by new tariff policies from the Trump administration. Markets currently appear to be in a holding pattern, waiting for the next significant catalyst, according to recent discussions between Samuel Pelaez and Derek Macpherson of Olive Resource Capital.This temporary market lull provides an opportunity for investors to reassess positioning, particularly in the gold sector, which is demonstrating remarkable strength. Q1 reporting reveals impressive performance from leading gold producers, with Agnico Eagle generating $6.7 million in daily free cash flow during Q1 at an average gold price of $2,900. With gold now trading around $3,400, daily free cash flow could potentially exceed $10 million, showcasing the significant operating leverage gold producers have to metal prices.The fundamentals driving gold stocks are increasingly attractive to professional investors. Agnico Eagle posted year-over-year revenue growth of 36% in Q1, outpacing even successful tech companies that typically grow at around 20% annually. Despite this strong performance, valuations remain compelling, with Agnico Eagle estimated to be trading at a free cash flow multiple of 10-15 times.Generalist investors are beginning to take notice, with Newmont ranking as the third-best performing stock in the S&P 500 year-to-date, up approximately 45%. This investment cycle typically begins with generalists purchasing large-cap gold producers, followed by capital flowing to mid-caps, developers, and eventually explorers – a pattern that appears to be in its early to middle stages currently.Several macroeconomic factors continue to support gold, including upcoming debt ceiling negotiations and budget discussions in Congress, which could drive market volatility in the coming months. Additionally, the U.S. dollar, described as "significantly oversold," may experience a temporary rebound that could create short-term volatility in gold prices, potentially offering buying opportunities.Olive Resource Capital maintains approximately 50% of its assets in gold and platinum group metals (PGMs), focusing on highest-conviction names. The company also sees potential in PGMs, which are currently out of favor but face fundamental supply constraints with production dominated by South Africa and Russia.With ongoing fiscal challenges, potential monetary policy adjustments, and geopolitical uncertainties likely to persist through 2025, the fundamental case for gold as both a portfolio diversifier and growth opportunity remains compelling. Investors who can look beyond short-term price movements to focus on quality assets and management teams are well-positioned to benefit from this developing investment cycle.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Luis Azevedo, Chairman & CEO of Bravo Mining Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/bravo-mining-tsxvbrvo-copper-gold-discovery-in-tier-1-pgm-project-in-brazil-5938Recording date: 4th March 2025Bravo Mining Corp represents an exciting opportunity for investors to gain exposure to the clean energy transition through a world-class platinum group metals (PGM), copper, and gold asset in the heart of Brazil's mining industry. The company's 100%-owned Luanga project, located in the renowned Carajás Mineral Province, has rapidly emerged as one of the largest and highest-grade palladium-platinum deposits globally, with a resource that has tripled to over 15 million ounces in just two years. Even more tantalizing is Luanga's copper-gold potential, with Bravo recently discovering bonanza-grade mineralization reminiscent of the IOCG deposits that built mining giants like Vale and Anglo American.The Luanga project boasts a number of key attributes that enhance its economic and development potential. First and foremost is the sheer scale and grade of the PGM resource. At 15 million ounces and growing, Luanga already ranks among the largest PGM deposits in South America. Importantly, the resource starts right at surface, with 86% of the ounces sitting in the first 250 meters depth. This suggests a low-cost, open-pit operation could be in the offing. Furthermore, with less than 10% of this massive land package systematically explored, Luanga likely has much more to give.While the PGM story alone would merit serious investor attention, the recent copper-gold discovery at Luanga makes Bravo impossible to ignore. Drill results like 11 meters of 14.5% copper and 3 g/t gold would be the envy of any major miner. The exploration model of choice for such mineralization are IOCG deposits, which are responsible for the bulk of Brazil's copper and gold production. These deposits are prized for their large size and polymetallic nature, often hosting economic quantities of copper, gold, silver, PGMs, and rare earths. With a land package of nearly 9,000 hectares, Bravo has an opportunity to consolidate a new copper-gold district in the heart of the Carajás.To advance these exceptional assets, Bravo has assembled a topnotch technical team with an unparalleled track record of discovery and development in Brazil. CEO Luis Azevedo and his colleagues were involved in several major discoveries in the country, giving them keen insights into the local geology and what it takes to operate there. Bravo also enjoys strong support from both the government and local community, a social license that is absolutely critical in today's mining industry. The Brazilian government has thrown its weight behind Luanga, placing it in an accelerated permitting program to bring the critical metals to market as quickly as possible.Lastly, Bravo has the financial strength to deliver on its ambitious plans. With $25 million in the bank, the company is fully funded to expand the PGM resource, advance engineering studies, and aggressively explore the copper-gold discovery. Major shareholders like Blackrock, Tembo, Franklin, and RCF have thrown their support behind management, recognizing the immense value creation potential at Luanga. As the company hits key milestones and proves out the polymetallic nature of the project, investors can look forward to a steady stream of catalysts.As the world electrifies and decarbonizes, metals like palladium, platinum, and copper will become ever more critical. Already, the Brazilian government is taking steps to secure its own supply of these vital elements. For investors, Bravo Mining offers a unique opportunity to participate in this generational megatrend, through an exceptional asset with a world-class team behind it. With drills turning, permits in hand, and a historic bull market for green metals ahead, Bravo has all the ingredients to become a major player in the industry.View Bravo Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/bravo-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Terry Lynch, CEO of Power NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/power-nickel-tsxvpnpn-unearthing-a-high-grade-polymetallic-gem-in-quebecs-james-bay-region-5925Recording date: 19th December 2024Power Nickel (TSXV:PNPN) has electrified the market with a major new nickel-copper-PGM discovery at its NISK project in Quebec. The company was originally exploring NISK for its high-grade nickel potential, but a wild step-out hole 5.5 km away hit a massive sulfide zone grading 1.5% copper and nearly 1 oz/ton platinum group metals (PGMs) over 8 meters. Subsequent drilling has traced this Lion Zone over 500 meters of strike length and to 500-600 meter depth, with exceptional grades of up to 7% copper equivalent over significant widths.CEO Terry Lynch believes they are just scratching the surface of a large mineralized system. "For every ton of copper sulfide you find, you find between 2-7 tons of nickel sulfides underneath, with an average of around five," he explained in a recent interview. "If we find 10, 15, 20 million tons of copper sulfide, ordinarily one would expect somewhere between 40 to 100 million tons of nickel sulfide. It's going to be big."Power Nickel already has an estimated 5-7 million tons grading 5-7% copper equivalent at Lion based on about 10,000 meters of drilling. The current 30,000 meter program aims to triple that to 15-20 million tons in 2025. Three drill rigs are turning now with a steady flow of assay results expected to start in January.The company is well funded after raising C$20 million in a financing anchored by mining magnate Robert Friedland and other billionaire backers including Rob McEwen. Power Nickel has also seen strong interest from major mining companies who are eager to secure new supplies of critical minerals like nickel and copper.Metallurgical studies are a key focus for 2025 to determine the best way to economically recover all the valuable metals in this polymetallic deposit. CEO Lynch is optimistic they can achieve good recoveries based on discussions with Friedland who has extensive experience with similar deposits in South Africa.The blue sky potential for Power Nickel is to have a world-class discovery on its hands, in the same league as giant camps like Norilsk, Voisey's Bay or Sudbury. Even at this relatively early stage, analysts ascribe a value of roughly C$100 million to the Lion Zone discovery. Lynch sees potential for a 10-bagger or more. "All great deposits get paid and this will be a great deposit," he affirmed. "Our shareholders will get what they deserve."With a monster discovery shaping up, a strong Quebec address, and lots of news flow on tap, Power Nickel has all the ingredients to charge up your mining portfolio. Drill results and metallurgy news in 2025 could provide the jolt to power shares significantly higher.
Interview with Chris Showalter, Director & CEO of Lifezone Metals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/lifezone-metals-nyselzm-powering-the-ev-revolution-with-clean-nickel-technology-in-tanzania-6232Recording date: 20th December 2024Lifezone Metals has strengthened its position in the nickel market with a significant resource upgrade at its Kabanga project in Tanzania. The company recently announced a 20% increase in contained nickel in measured and indicated resources, reaching 46.8 million tons at 2.09% nickel grade, including over 3 million tons grading above 3% nickel.The Kabanga project, which has seen over $200 million invested in drilling to date, has emerged as one of the highest-grade undeveloped nickel deposits globally. The project's resource base is notably well-defined, with more than 80% classified in the measured and indicated categories – an uncommon achievement for a development-stage project.Lifezone has made substantial progress in securing financial backing for Kabanga's development. Mining giant BHP has joined as a strategic partner, while discussions are advancing with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) for political risk insurance. The company has also signed an MOU with Japan's JOGMEC to facilitate nickel marketing to Japanese end-users, potentially opening doors for additional strategic partnerships.On the technical front, Lifezone has successfully demonstrated its processing capabilities, producing high-purity battery-grade nickel and cobalt products from Kabanga ore samples. This achievement marks the first time Kabanga's nickel has been processed to a final refined end-product, validating the company's hydromet processing technology.Beyond Kabanga, Lifezone is diversifying through its recycling business. The company has formed a 50/50 joint venture with Glencore to recover valuable metals, including PGMs, nickel, cobalt, and copper, from recycled batteries and end-of-life vehicles in North America. This venture aims to streamline the currently fragmented battery recycling supply chain through vertical integration.CEO Chris Showalter emphasizes the strategic importance of Kabanga's high-grade resource in an increasingly competitive market, particularly given Indonesia's dominant position in global nickel supply. The project's superior grade is expected to enable lower-cost production and reduced environmental impact compared to peers.The investment case for Lifezone Metals centers on its exposure to growing nickel demand from the electric vehicle sector, anchored by a high-grade resource and clear financing strategy. With both the Kabanga project and recycling business advancing, near-term catalysts include the completion of Kabanga's definitive feasibility study, financing milestones, and recycling business developments.View Lifezone Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/lifezone-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Interview with Jason Jessup, CEO of Magna Mining Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/magna-mining-tsxvnicu-unlocking-value-in-sudburys-high-grade-copper-nickel-projects-5062Recording date: 10th December 2024Magna Mining is set to acquire the McCreedy West copper mine and other Sudbury assets from KGHM in a transformational $9.3 million deal expected to close in Q1 2025. The acquisition includes the producing McCreedy West mine, two mines on care and maintenance (Levack and Podolsky), and five exploration properties in the Sudbury Basin.McCreedy West, currently producing 317,000 tonnes annually at 1.6% copper, will serve as the foundation for Magna's growth strategy. The underground mine features three distinct zones: a nickel-rich Main zone, copper-dominant 700 Complex, and PGM-rich PM zone. Magna plans to optimize and expand production from the current 900 tonnes per day to 1,500 tonnes per day by the end of 2025, potentially generating $20-40 million in free cash flow by 2026.The company has outlined an ambitious development sequence, using McCreedy West's cash flow to fund the restart of the historic Levack mine in 2026. Levack contains a high-grade resource of 700,000 tonnes at 4% copper, 1% nickel, and 4-5 g/t PGMs. During its previous operation under FNX Mining, Levack consistently produced exceptional grades of 8-10% copper with significant precious metal credits.Magna's growth strategy extends beyond these initial assets. The company plans to advance its 100%-owned Crean Hill project, with a pre-feasibility study scheduled for H2 2025 and potential production by 2027. By year-end 2027, Magna envisions operating three mines in commercial production, with Podolsky representing a fourth future opportunity.The acquisition particularly resonates with Magna's management team, led by CEO Jason Jessup, who previously operated these assets at FNX Mining. Under their management, FNX transformed similar non-core INCO assets into a $1.5 billion company that was later acquired.Beyond the production potential, Magna sees significant exploration upside, particularly in the 2-kilometer trend between McCreedy West and Levack. This underexplored footwall environment has historically yielded high-grade discoveries, and the company expects to announce a new discovery within two years.The strategy aligns with growing copper demand driven by global electrification trends. S&P Global forecasts copper demand to double to 50 million metric tons by 2035, driven by electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, and grid modernization. With established infrastructure in the tier-one Sudbury jurisdiction and access to multiple processing facilities, Magna is positioning itself to capitalize on these favorable market fundamentals while minimizing capital requirements through staged development of its asset portfolio.View Magna Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/magna-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
In this episode, we have a returning guest who appeared back in March 2022 (episode 226). Alan Clegg whose had a long and established career in mining for over 4 decades working in various aspects of metals & minerals value chain from exploration through to mine closure, including financing of projects, projects management & projects construction & execution, he's done it all. He also published more than 20 technical papers & presented at numerous international conferences and today talks about a variety of topics including precious metals, PGM's, the energy transition, ESG and more. Some controversial topics with valid explanations but with truth always in Alan's mind. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gold has historically been viewed as a store of wealth, with its price fluctuations often reflecting the depreciation of fiat currencies rather than changes in its intrinsic value. Recent trends show a significant increase in gold prices, driven by global economic uncertainties and increased central bank purchases. Silver is primarily an industrial metal, with significant demand stemming from its use in electronics and solar panels. The market is currently facing a deficit, and retail interest in silver is growing as more individuals seek affordable ways to invest in precious metals. The platinum group metals (PGMs) market has experienced volatility due to shifts in automotive technology, particularly the transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. Despite this, there is a projected market deficit for platinum, indicating potential future value. The so-called "green transition" is not a true transition but rather an addition of energy sources. The demand for critical minerals, particularly for battery production, is expected to outpace supply, raising concerns about the feasibility of fully replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. BEST MOMENTS "Gold has been seen as a store of wealth for more than 5,000 years... an ounce of gold today is still an ounce of gold, despite price fluctuations." "The current estimates suggest that China may have as much as 30,000 tons of gold... a hedge against fiat currency failure." "The silver market is facing a net deficit of around 700,000 to 800,000 ounces in 2024, which is quite large." "For every thousand deposits of metals and minerals that we discover, only one or two become tier one producing mines."

Interview with Chris Showalter, Director & CEO of Lifezone Metals Ltd.Recording date: 7th November 2024Lifezone Metals is an emerging battery metals company offering investors unique exposure to the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain. The company's key asset is the Kabanga nickel-cobalt project in Tanzania, which ranks as one of the largest and highest-grade undeveloped nickel sulphide deposits globally (25.8 Mt measured and indicated resources at 2.63% Ni, 0.35% Cu and 0.2% Co with additional 14.6 Mt Inferred resources) and would become a globally significant source of responsibly produced battery metals.What sets Lifezone apart is its proprietary hydrometallurgical technology, which allows the company to optimally process ore and unlock value from complex deposits. Lifezone's ability to design bespoke process flow sheets positions it to become a "solution provider" to the industry. The company aims to not only develop Kabanga but also deploy its technology to other projects via partnerships, generating a royalty stream.Lifezone's strategy is significantly de-risked through its partnerships with two mining majors. BHP has invested $100 million for the Kabanga project, with an option to increase to 60% and a floor valuation of 7x the project's post-DFS NPV. This provides downside protection and validates the project's world-class potential. Separately, Lifezone has a 50/50 joint venture with Glencore to apply its hydromet technology to recycling PGMs from autocatalysts in the US.Completion of the Kabanga DFS in H2 2024 is a major near-term catalyst. This will firm up project economics and trigger BHP's option to increase its stake. Concurrently, Lifezone is negotiating offtake agreements with parties like Japan's JOGMEC, which will underpin project financing. The company has a clear pathway to a fully funded Final Investment Decision by leveraging BHP's investment, debt financing, and its offtake rights.The investment opportunity is buoyed by Kabanga's potential to supply the lowest carbon intensity nickel to Western EV makers. With a projected CO2 footprint of 3-5t per tonne of nickel vs. the much higher levels of Indonesian producers, Lifezone is well-positioned to earn a "green premium". This is increasingly important as EV makers look to reduce their Scope 3 emissions and diversify from Chinese-controlled supply chains.Lifezone's assets are located in Tanzania, which is highly prospective for nickel but previously considered high-risk. However, the government has taken significant steps to improve the investment climate, including launching a mining tax review and committing to infrastructure development. Tanzania's progress, combined with BHP's backing, substantially mitigates jurisdictional risk.In summary, Lifezone presents a differentiated battery metals investment leveraged to the EV revolution. The company's large, high-grade resource base, clean processing technology, and top-tier partnerships create a compelling risk-reward proposition. With a value-accretive pathway to production and multiple near-term catalysts on the horizon, Lifezone is well-positioned to deliver shareholder returns as the world electrifies.View Lifezone Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/lifezone-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
It's a semi green Monday and Nick and Brett are back to talk metals markets. PGMs are hanging in there and the guys share their opinions on what the next few months will look like. Produced by Recycled Media.
Interview with Derrick Weyrauch, President & CEO of GT Resources Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/copper-gaining-traction-investors-positioning-for-the-upswing-5616Recording date: 12 September 2024GT Resources presents an intriguing opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the critical metals sector, which is poised to benefit from the global transition to clean energy and sustainable technologies. As an exploration stage company focused on copper, nickel, and platinum group metals (PGMs) in Europe and Canada, GT Resources is strategically aligning its portfolio with the materials essential for the green economy.One of GT Resources' key strengths is its strategic partnership with mining giant Glencore. This relationship not only provides crucial financial support but also serves as a strong vote of confidence in the company's projects and management. Derek Weyrauch, President and CEO of GT Resources, highlighted that Glencore has provided financial backing multiple times over the past 18 months, enabling the company to pursue its exploration programs despite challenging market conditions.The company's project portfolio includes two notable assets that investors should keep an eye on. First, the Canalask nickel project in Finland, where GT Resources recently completed an exploration program. Results from this program are pending and could serve as a significant near-term catalyst for the company's stock. Second, the North Rock copper project in Ontario, acquired through the purchase of MetalCorp last year. This project boasts a historic resource of a million ton and 1.2% copper according to Weyrauch, and the company plans to advance it with geophysics work scheduled to begin later this year.GT Resources' focus on copper, nickel, and PGMs is well-timed to capitalize on emerging trends in the automotive industry. Wush provided interesting insights into the potential for hybrid vehicles to drive PGM demand in the near term, as these vehicles require both batteries and catalytic converters. This perspective suggests that the company's PGM assets could benefit from a more gradual transition to fully electric vehicles than some market observers predict.Financially, GT Resources demonstrates prudent management in a challenging market for junior explorers. The company recently raised $1.8 million through a structured financing, with Glencore taking 100% of the back end at a premium to mitigate dilution. This tactical approach to financing allows GT Resources to continue its exploration activities while maintaining financial stability.While the junior mining sector faces challenges, including market volatility and financing difficulties, GT Resources' diversified portfolio and strategic approach to exploration and financing help mitigate these risks. The company's focus on critical metals essential for the green energy transition positions it well to potentially benefit from long-term demand growth in these commodities.As with any investment in the junior mining sector, thorough due diligence is essential. While GT Resources offers exposure to in-demand metals and benefits from a strong strategic partnership, investors should be aware of the inherent risks associated with exploration-stage companies and the cyclical nature of commodity markets.Investors considering GT Resources should closely monitor upcoming news releases, particularly regarding exploration results from the Canalask project and advancements at the North Rock copper project. These developments could serve as significant catalysts for the company's valuation. Additionally, keeping an eye on broader market trends in critical metals and the adoption rates of hybrid and electric vehicles could provide context for the company's long-term prospects.View GT Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/palladium-one-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Interview with Luiz Azevedo, Chairman & CEO of Bravo Mining Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/bravo-mining-tsxvbrvo-accelerating-to-pgm-production-in-brazil-4471Recording date: 12th September 2024Bravo Mining Corp. is emerging as a noteworthy player in the critical minerals sector, focusing on its flagship Luanga platinum group metals (PGM) and base metals project in Brazil's prolific Carajás Mineral Province. Led by CEO and Chairman Luis Azevedo, the company is strategically positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for PGMs, driven by their use in hybrid vehicles, while also benefiting from a recent high-grade copper discovery.The Luanga project currently boasts a substantial PGM resource of 9.8 million ounces (including indicated and inferred categories), with an updated mineral resource estimate expected in Q1 2025. This update is anticipated to show growth in the overall resource size while maintaining similar grades. Importantly, recent deep drilling has demonstrated the potential for resource expansion at depth, with mineralization confirmed to at least 450 meters.A significant development for Bravo Mining is the recent copper discovery at Luanga, with one drill hole intersecting 11 meters at 15% copper with 3 g/t gold. This high-grade copper mineralization adds a new dimension to the project and could significantly enhance its economics. The company is actively following up on this discovery with additional drilling.Bravo Mining benefits from Luanga's strategic location in an established mining region with well-developed infrastructure, including roads, power lines, and a supportive government. This existing infrastructure is expected to reduce future development costs and enhance the project's overall economics. The company has also made steady progress on the permitting front, with full permitting anticipated by 2025.Financially, Bravo Mining is well-positioned with approximately $25 million in cash as of the interview date. This strong cash position provides ample resources for continued exploration and development activities without immediate funding pressure. The company has demonstrated efficient capital deployment, having completed nearly 120,000 meters of drilling for about $30 million since going public.The macro environment for PGMs and copper appears favorable. There's growing recognition of PGMs' importance in hybrid vehicles, which are gaining traction as an intermediate step in the global energy transition. Simultaneously, copper demand is poised for significant growth driven by increased electrification across various sectors. Geopolitical challenges in traditional producing regions like South Africa (for PGMs) and Chile and Peru (for copper) are prompting miners and investors to seek new, stable jurisdictions for resource development.Brazil is attracting increased attention as a mining investment destination, with Azevedo noting a rise in international mining companies operating in the country. The pro-mining stance of the government and the country's overall stability contribute to its appeal.For investors, Bravo Mining offers exposure to both PGMs and copper in a favorable jurisdiction. Key catalysts to watch include the upcoming resource update in Q1 2025, ongoing results from copper zone exploration, and progress on permitting milestones. While the company appears well-positioned, investors should be mindful of risks associated with resource definition, permitting processes, and future capital requirements for project construction.Overall, Bravo Mining's Luanga project represents an intriguing opportunity in the critical minerals space, with potential for significant value creation as the company advances its PGM resource and explores the newly discovered copper mineralization.View Bravo Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/bravo-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Summary In this episode of JSE Direct, Simon Brown discusses various topics including the troubles faced by Anglo Platinum, the performance of leisure stocks, Anglo Gold Ashanti's* acquisition of an Egyptian gold miner, and the impact of two pot withdrawals. He also touches on the future of PGMs, the growth of electric vehicles, and the psychology of markets. Takeaways Anglo Platinum is facing challenges as Anglo American wants to get rid of their stake, causing a sell-off in the market. Anglo Platinum weekly chart The PGMs market is uncertain, with palladium and platinum prices experiencing fluctuations. The World Platinum Council projects a second year of meaningful platinum deficits, with jewelry demand expected to rise. The growth of electric vehicles is impacting the demand for PGMs, but the market is still uncertain. Investors should wait for positive price action before considering investments in PGMs. Anglo Gold Ashanti's acquisition of an Egyptian gold miner raises questions about the use of equity and the future of gold prices. Two pot withdrawals have resulted in over 4 billion rand being withdrawn from the market. Leisure stocks, such as City Lodge and Sun International, have mixed performance, with City Lodge experiencing lower occupancy rates. The growth of sports betting raises concerns about its impact on poorer individuals and the fairness of the industry.
