Ali Haji, CEO of American Tungsten Corp. (CSE:TUNG) (OTCQB:DEMRF) (FSE:RK9), joins me to for a financial and operations update on all the exploration, development, and rehabilitation initiatives underway; focused on bringing onshore tungsten mining and production capabilities to the United States through its derisked past-producing IMA Mine in Idaho.   Today on October 22,  American Tungsten announced that, further to its press releases dated October 14, 2025, October 15, 2025, and October 20, 2025, it completed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of C$16,770,510 from the sale of 6,500,198 common shares of the Company at a price of C$2.58 per Share (the "LIFE Offering") under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption.   We start off discussing this financing, the rationale for both the timing of it, and the subsequent repricing of it lower to gain better traction and confidence with incoming institutional investors. Most importantly, we get into what these funds will enable in terms of future value creation through the ongoing rehabilitation and development work at the IMA Mine.   Next, we discussed the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) signed back on September 20th with a prominent U.S-based offtake partner, Global Tungsten & Powders (“GTP”). Ali highlights that their agreement with GTP marks a pivotal milestone in their emergence as a leading domestic supplier of high-grade tungsten, now vetted by one of the largest tungsten processors in the world. This LOI not only affirms the robust market demand for more domestic supplies of tungsten, but also reflects the deep confidence their partners have in their technical capabilities and long-term vision to move from development into near-term production.   Then Ali expanded the ongoing IMA Mine Rehabilitation Progress:   A total of 115 feet of the Zero Level access tunnel has now been successfully rehabilitated, measured from the portal entrance; with anticipated work on the zero level tunnel approximately 80% complete. Rehabilitation efforts are now within the heart of the main collapsed zone, currently estimated to span approximately 50 feet. At a September site visit the management team reviewed the Zero Level rehab work, the D Level underground workings, the historic tailings area across the road from the canyon, and the broader site area. The MSHA inspector expressed confidence in the site's progress and praised the quality of work completed. A Radon measurement taken within the tunnel yielded a zero reading, affirming a safe working environment.     Zooming back to the project level, we shifted over to the tungsten, molybdenum, and silver resources in place and the infrastructure advantages of the IMA Mine as an advanced, past producing brownfields site, located on patented mining claims in Idaho. There has been a substantial amount of capital spent over many years to advance and build the project by various mining companies, including the Bradley Mining Company, Inspiration Development Co. (subsidiary of Anglo American PLC), and American Metal Climax. There is solid infrastructure including roads, tier-1 low-cost power supply, water rights, and a mining-oriented labor force nearby, which can help fast-track this project back into production, with a low capex anticipated to be ~$20 Million.   Ali reiterated that they are continuing to work closely with government agencies to build partnerships seeking to secure funding.  He believes there is the opportunity to secure key strategic partnerships and non-dilutive financing with the U.S. Department of Defense,  Department of Energy, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and mentioned that those discussions are underway and applications were previously filed.   This brought up the critical and strategic nature of tungsten as a defense metal, where the majority of tungsten supply is controlled by China, and why the US government is keen to develop supply chains outside of China which has placed export controls on this metal, and many other critical minerals.  Tungsten is a necessary component in a wide array of defense applications, including but not limited to the production of ammunition, armored equipment, artillery, and space exploration.     There is planned drill program to expand the known tungsten, molybdenum, and silver mineral resources, and this will be utilized for an updated Resource Estimate, and the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). The company will also be conducting a trial mining and bulk sample exercise, more metallurgical tests, and the company is now working towards the construction decision on a processing plant on-site, which is a change and upgrade to the previously envisioned direct ship ore (DSO) business model.   If you have any questions for Ali regarding American Tungsten, then please email those into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of American Tungsten at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from American Tungsten

Send us a textIf the air in your home could talk, what would it reveal about your health five or ten years from now? We pull back the curtain on radon—the silent, odorless gas that seeps up from soil and quietly becomes a leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers—and we do it without the myths and fearmongering that clutter the internet. Jim and Laura walk through how radon forms from uranium in rock and soil, why its decay products like polonium are the true lung offenders, and what that means for families in regions like Ohio where geology makes elevated levels common.You'll hear why you can't smell radon, why “feeling sick” isn't a reliable sign, and how smoking multiplies the risk by eight. We get practical about testing: what a 48-hour monitor tells you, why levels swing with weather and seasons, and why winter's closed windows and frozen ground often push readings higher. We also talk dollars and sense—what mitigation typically costs, what “action level” actually means, and why spending around $1,300 to $1,500 can be one of the best health investments you make for your home.We fact-check a claim that radon and natural gas combine into something dangerous. Chemistry check: radon is a noble gas and doesn't react; the rotten egg smell from a leak is mercaptan, which can irritate but doesn't create a new toxin with radon. Our story archive includes a landmark high-radon case that changed policy and a curious call about “radioactive furniture,” both reminding us how invisible exposures leave very real traces. Along the way, we share simple steps for handling small gas leaks, considering VOCs and formaldehyde after renovations, and turning indoor air from a question mark into a plan.Ready to act on what you can't smell? Start with a radon test this winter, fix leaks promptly, and keep your air clear with targeted checks for mold and VOCs when needed. If this conversation helps, follow the show, share it with a friend who's moving or renovating, and leave a quick rating to help others find trustworthy home health guidance.Support the showTo learn more about Habitation Investigation, the Three-time Winner of the Best Home Inspection Company in the Midwest Plus the Winner of Consumer Choice Award for Columbus Ohio visit Home Inspection Columbus Ohio - Habitation Investigation (homeinspectionsinohio.com) NBC4 news segments: The importance of home inspections, and what to look for | NBC4 WCMH-TV Advice from experts: Don't skip the home inspection | NBC4 WCMH-TV OSU student's mysterious symptoms end up tied to apartment's air quality | NBC4 WCMH-TV How to save money by winterizing your home | NBC4 WCMH-TV Continuing Education for Ohio Agents Scheduled classes Continuing Education for Ohio Agents Course lis...
