Riverside Resources Inc CDA CEO John-Mark Staude joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about the strong momentum the company is seeing at the PDAC conference and how its project generator model is creating opportunities across multiple commodities. Speaking from the conference floor, Staude highlighted the positive industry sentiment and how that environment benefits Riverside's partnership-driven strategy. He explained that when activity picks up in the mining sector, it often translates into more deal flow for the company. As he put it, “when there's a buzz in the air as a generator company, we get lots of deals.” Staude discussed Riverside's diversified portfolio, which includes copper, gold, silver and rare earth element projects across Mexico and Canada. He pointed to work on porphyry copper systems in Mexico as a key focus, while also noting the company's growing activity in rare earth elements in British Columbia. One near-term catalyst highlighted in the interview is work at the Union Project in Sonora, Mexico, where Riverside is partnered with Questcorp. Preparations are underway for drilling, with a campaign expected within the next two months and results anticipated in the following quarters. The conversation also touched on Riverside's strategic transactions designed to unlock shareholder value. Staude referenced the company's approach of spinning out assets into new entities, retaining royalties while allowing shareholders direct exposure to projects in regions such as Ontario and the Yukon. He also noted the continued support of long-term shareholders and investors, including strong backing from European investors and a cornerstone investment that reinforces confidence in Riverside's long-term strategy. #proactiveinvestors #riversdieredinc #otcqb #rvsdf #tsxv #rri #pdac2026 #RiversideResources #JohnMarkStaude #MiningStocks #PDAC2026 #CopperExploration #GoldExploration #RareEarthElements #MiningInvesting #JuniorMining #ResourceStocks

It's a $25 million market cap company that just partnered with the most famous gold prospector on the planet… a man whose discoveries helped trigger the Yukon's second gold rush, who was featured on CBS's 60 Minutes, and whose projects have been acquired by major mining companies for hundreds of millions of dollars. The company is drilling in 2026, and spots in this financing are already filling fast. Click here to learn more: https://bit.ly/4rW1ADGThe free version of the 354th episode of Investing in Bizarro World is now published.Here's what was covered:Macro Musings - The commodity bull market remains intact — and the tape is confirming it. Gold is back over $5,200, silver is near $89, copper is pushing $6, and uranium is hovering near $90. The macro backdrop continues to cooperate: growth is slowing but still positive (Q4 GDP around 1.4–1.5%), inflation continues to moderate, and markets are increasingly pricing rate cuts in the second half of the year. That mix — softer rates, a weaker dollar, and sticky structural deficits in real assets — keeps the bull case alive. Volatility remains elevated (gold volatility still running hot), which means sharp swings are normal: gold can move a few hundred dollars and silver can swing $15–$20 without breaking the bullish structure. The message is the same: don't chase — use volatility and buy limits to accumulate quality.Market Takes - China's rare earth leverage is no longer theoretical. Supply constraints — particularly in heavy rare earths tied to aerospace, defense, and advanced semiconductor supply chains — are becoming more visible, and U.S. efforts to “solve” the problem with capital don't change the underlying timeline: it takes years to find, permit, fund, and build real production. That's why we continue to believe this is a multi-year commodity cycle with real staying power. The broader rotation we've discussed remains in motion as capital begins migrating toward hard assets and resource equities, and the opportunity set expands beyond precious metals into the wider critical minerals complex.Bizarro Banter - The Epstein fallout continues widening, with more high-profile resignations and revelations reinforcing the larger point: institutional credibility is deteriorating in real time. That erosion matters because capital follows trust — and when trust breaks, investors gravitate toward assets outside institutional control. We also spent time on jurisdictional risk and why “Mexico risk” is not one-size-fits-all. The recent cartel leadership takedown and its aftermath is a reminder that conditions can change quickly, and that risk is intensely local. Investors need to differentiate between major operators with deep security protocols and juniors operating in higher-risk zones with thinner operational coverage. We also hit local politics — including Nick's latest city council experience and why attempts to restrict public comment are rarely about “efficiency” and more often about insulating decision-makers from accountability.Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.

Appia Rare Earths and Uranium Corp CEO Tom Drivas joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about the company's expanding rare earth and uranium portfolio across Canada and Brazil, highlighting an active drill season and strong early results from multiple projects. Drivas outlined Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp's diversified asset base, which includes rare earth projects in Saskatchewan and Brazil, alongside uranium exploration in Ontario and near the Athabasca Basin. He described the company as unique due to its combination of rare earth and uranium exposure across multiple jurisdictions, with mineralization hosted in rocks that can be extracted using known technologies. At the Alces Lake project in northern Saskatchewan, the company has completed extensive work including airborne and ground gravity surveys, drilling, and 3D modelling. Appia has identified nine new drill targets and plans to begin drilling in June, with the camp and drill already in place. In Brazil, the company is advancing what is now referred to as the PCH project under a partnership arrangement. The project hosts both ionic clay mineralization near surface and hard rock rare earth mineralization at depth. Drivas highlighted recent results, stating: “We just finished 26 new holes on the hard rock… this time we went down to 300 metres and it's mineralized from top to bottom.” He added that some intervals returned grades “up to 14% rare earths.” Appia plans to deliver a NI 43-101 compliant resource and is targeting approximately 950 drill holes on the ionic clay portion, alongside work toward a preliminary feasibility study. With nine rigs currently active and infrastructure located just 15 minutes from a mining town, the company expects steady news flow in the coming months. #proactiveinvetors #appiarareearthsanduranium #cse #api #otcqb #apaaf #pdac2026#RareEarths #Uranium #MiningStocks #CriticalMinerals #DrillingResults #SaskatchewanMining #BrazilMining #ResourceInvesting #NI43101 #CleanEnergyMetals #AthabascaBasin

Avalon Advanced Materials CEO Scott Monteith joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about the company's expanding lithium and rare earth portfolio and its strategy to scale critical mineral assets across Canada. Monteith, who joined the company two and a half years ago to help scale its resource base, outlined Avalon Advanced Materials Inc's three core platforms. The company holds lithium resources near Kenora, Ontario, and the Nechalacho rare earth elements project in the Northwest Territories. He explained that Avalon Advanced Materials Inc has adopted a joint venture model to advance its projects, including Separation Rapids in Kenora, where a Belgian partner holds a majority stake and is responsible for financing, scaling and operating the asset. In Thunder Bay, the company is progressing plans for a lithium hydroxide refinery under its Lake Superior Lithium platform. Monteith said the refinery will use a meso-based alkaline process designed to produce lithium hydroxide or carbonate without acidic tailings. The company is currently raising a capital stack for the first module, representing a planned US$1.3 billion investment. At Nechalacho, Avalon Advanced Materials Inc is advancing what Monteith described as “the most significant, rare earth deposit globally,” supported by prior feasibility work and existing infrastructure. The company recently raised $18.5 million to fund drilling, updated studies and office expansions in Yellowknife and Thunder Bay. Monteith emphasised strong engagement with government stakeholders, noting growing interest in securing North American supply chains for critical minerals tied to electrification and defence. #proativeinvestors #avalonadvancedmaterials #tsx #avl #otcqb #avlnf #padac2026 #AvalonAdvancedMaterials #ScottMonteith #CriticalMinerals #Lithium #RareEarths #BatteryMaterials #NorthAmericanSupplyChain #EVMaterials #MiningDevelopment #EnergyTransition #LithiumHydroxide #ResourceInvesting

American Rare Earths CEO Mark Wall joined Steve Darling from Proactive's OTC studio in New York City to discuss the strategic importance and long-term potential of the Halleck Creek rare earths project in Wyoming, positioning it as a cornerstone for domestic U.S. supply. Wall described the project's scale as extraordinary, noting, “It's 2.5 billion tons of ore, with a B, which is a lot.” He compared Halleck Creek to large, long-life copper porphyry systems, highlighting its low strip ratio of 0.16 and near-surface mineralisation, making it “very, very simple to mine.” He emphasised that the asset has the potential to act as “the strategic anchor to United States rare earths supply domestically for many, many, many years.” Current estimates suggest around 100 years of supply, though Wall noted this is a conservative figure. At a lower cut-off grade of 1,000 ppm, the resource could extend beyond 400 years, with the ore body remaining open both at depth and laterally. Looking ahead to 2026, the company plans several key milestones, including completion of the pre-feasibility study (PFS), commencement of the feasibility study, submission of the state permit, and ongoing engagement in Washington, DC to reinforce the project's strategic significance. Halleck Creek hosts both heavy and light rare earths, including terbium, dysprosium, and samarium, elements critical for defence and advanced technology applications. Combined with Wyoming's supportive infrastructure, permitting framework, and collaboration with the University of Wyoming on potential industrial uses for engineered sand by-products, Wall positioned Halleck Creek as a major domestic rare earth opportunity that could strengthen U.S. supply chain independence. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearths #asx #arr #otcqx #arrnf #HalleckCreek #RareEarths #USMining #WyomingMining #CriticalMinerals #HeavyRareEarths #LightRareEarths #EnergyTransition #DefenseMetals #MiningInvestment #StrategicMetals #PFS #FeasibilityStudy #USSupplyChain

New Frontier Minerals Senior Consultant Kevin Das joined Steve Darling from Proactive's OTC studio in New York City to provide an update on the company's growing copper and heavy rare earth strategy, highlighting expanding exposure to the U.S. critical minerals market. Das explained that New Frontier Minerals, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, and recently on the OTCQB, is focused on a dual approach: advancing copper projects in northwest Queensland while also developing heavy rare earth assets. In Queensland, the company is progressing a copper project that already hosts a mineral resource of 2.1 million tonnes at 1.1% copper, representing just under 22,000 tonnes of contained copper metal. Das highlighted a recently announced broader exploration target for the Northwest Queensland Copper Project, ranging from 12 million to 57 million tonnes at grades of 0.3% to 1.5% copper, supported by 14 prospective targets across the project area. Drilling plans and budgets are under review to expand and underpin the existing resource at the Big One Deposit. In addition to copper, New Frontier is advancing heavy rare earth exploration, having secured an option on a carbonatite rare earth property in Quebec. Das emphasized the company's strategic rationale for listing on the OTCQB, noting strong U.S. demand for critical minerals and positioning New Frontier to provide the right commodities to meet that need. Management believes the combined copper and rare earth strategy, coupled with expanded U.S. market access, enhances the company's global critical minerals footprint and supports long-term growth in both supply and investor visibility. #proactiveinvestors #newfrontierminerals #asx #nfm #otcqb #nfmxf #CriticalMinerals #CopperExploration #RareEarths #ASX #OTCQB #MiningStocks #NorthwestQueensland #CopperProject #ResourceDevelopment #USMarkets #EnergyTransition #MineralExploration

As rare earth minerals become increasingly necessary for many areas of American life, including tech and the military, it becomes clear that the CCP dominates access to critical minerals around the globe. From operations in Venezuela to discussions around Greenland to the new Project Vault, the Trump administration is taking this threat from the CCP […]

Control of critical minerals is becoming a source of geopolitical tension. They are essential to modern technology and industries around the world, and China currently dominates the mining and processing industry.As demand grows, governments in the United States and elsewhere are looking at ways to reduce their reliance on Chinese supply chains. That means investing in new mines and processing facilities even though they are expensive and environmentally toxic. Ultimately, the US and EU have a goal of diversifying the control of these lucrative elements. This week on The Inquiry, Tanya Beckett explores whether the rest of the world can catch up with China in the race for rare earths.Contributors: Julie Michelle Klinger, Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, US Sophia Kalanzakos, global distinguished professor of environmental studies and public policy in the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayan scholars programme at NYU Abu Dhabi, UAE Kalim Siddiqui, international economist, UK Dr Patrick Schröder, senior research fellow in the Environment and Society Centre at Chatham House, UKPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Matt Toulson Researcher: Evie Yabsley Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical Producer: Richard Hannaford Production Management: Phoebe Lomas & Liam Morrey(Photo: Trucks transporting minded materials.

Rare earth elements (REEs), a group of 17 minerals, have become central to global industry and geopolitics. They power electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, semiconductors, consumer electronics and advanced defence systems. While moderately abundant, they are difficult and expensive to extract and process. China has built overwhelming dominance in this sector, controlling nearly 90% of global processing and about 70% of production, despite holding only around 30% of global reserves. In 2025, China imposed a series of export restrictions on these elements, disrupting supply chains worldwide. Since then, supply restrictions have eased since then. For India, the vulnerability was stark. Despite holding around 8% of global reserves, the country produces less than 1% of global output and imports to meet its requirements. In a bod to increase domestic capacity, the government launched the ₹34,300-crore National Critical Mineral Mission in January last year, and followed up in the Union Budget this year. In her Budget speech, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the government's plans to set up dedicated rare earth corridors in Odisha, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu and manufacturing of Rare Earth Permanent Magnets. Can meaningfully reduce India's dependence on imports, strengthen strategic industries, and position the country as a serious player in global advanced-material supply chains?

James Chai, Visiting Fellow at ISEAS and former policy advisor to Malaysia's Ministry of Economy, joins Jeremy Au to unpack how Malaysia is repositioning itself in an era defined by AI, semiconductors, and geopolitical rivalry. They explore the country's shift from oil, gas, and plantations toward advanced manufacturing, examine how decades of semiconductor clustering built a quiet but durable export engine, and discuss why Malaysia is now doubling down on data centers and rare earths. The conversation covers US China competition over chip supply chains, the strategic importance of fabrication and GPU ecosystems, and how rare earth processing may represent the most underappreciated leverage point in the global tech stack. James also explains why execution, not ambition, will determine whether Malaysia can capture long term value from these emerging industries. 02:30 Malaysia balances growth with redistribution: The strategy is to raise high value industries like semiconductors and rare earths while lifting the bottom 40 percent through social protection. 05:42 Semiconductor strength came from decades of compounding: Intel and other multinationals anchored early manufacturing, and local engineers accumulated expertise that later spun into globally competitive firms. 10:18 Clusters beat subsidies alone: Tight networks of engineers, spin offs, and long term continuity allowed Malaysia's chip ecosystem to survive volatility and keep upgrading. 21:05 China uses constraint as strategy: By limiting access to high end Nvidia GPUs, Beijing forces domestic firms to innovate faster and close critical design gaps. 29:45 Chips are not oil: Frontier GPUs power model training, but most real world AI use relies on inference, meaning older chips retain value longer than markets assume. 37:22 Data centers create investment headlines but unclear spillovers: Billions flow into Malaysia, yet long term value depends on whether local firms capture supply chain and technology capabilities. 44:10 Rare earth processing is the real choke point: Deposits are global, but China controls the complex multi step processing chain, making chemistry and technology control more strategic than mining alone.

Chicago-based financial services company CME Group is reportedly working on a plan to launch the world's first rare earth futures contract. Can the U.S. reshape pricing power without controlling production? What countermove may Beijing take? Will China's dominance in price-setting be diluted? And are we expecting a bifurcated system in the global mineral sector? Host Tu Yun joins Professor Andy Mok of Beijing Foreign Studies University, who's also a Senior Research Fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, Professor Warwick Powell, Adjunct Professor, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, and John Gong, Professor of Economics, at the University of International Business and Economics to unpack the high-stakes battle over minerals, markets, and geopolitical leverage.

Rare earth minerals are a group of 17 chemically similar, heavy metals, that are used for many high-tech and sustainable energy applications.  Despite what their name would suggest, they are relatively abundant.  But refining the minerals from disperse ore deposits takes large amounts of energy and produces large quantities of sometimes hazardous waste.  Julie Klinger, Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at UW-Madison, joins the Thursday edition of the 8 O'Clock Buzz to talk about the present status of rare earth mineral mining, and the possibility of reclaiming the minerals from existing mine tailings in the U.S. Photo by USGS on Unsplash Did you enjoy this story?

Interview with Rupert Verco, CEO & Managing Director of Cobra Resources PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cobra-resources-lsecobr-maiden-resource-work-begins-with-2026-drill-campaign-8583Recording date: 4th February 2026Cobra Resources (LSE:COBR) is positioning itself at the forefront of Australia's critical minerals sector through a dual strategy: advancing two significant South Australian projects while actively influencing government policy on strategic reserves.The company's flagship Boland rare earths project utilizes in-situ recovery (ISR) technology to extract dysprosium and terbium, targeting production costs of $60/kg NdPr—half the $120/kg required by conventional mining operations. This cost advantage forms the basis of management's ambition to become "the Kazatomprom of rare earths," replicating the Kazakh uranium producer's dominance through lowest-cost ISR operations. The company has achieved significant technical milestones, including proven ISR processes, proprietary sulfuric acid production from waste materials, and 100% cerium suppression that enhances product value by increasing heavy rare earth ratios to 48%.Complementing the rare earths focus, Cobra's Manna Hill project offers substantial copper-molybdenum-gold-PGE potential. Historic drilling has returned exceptional results, including 4-8 meter intersections grading 2% molybdenum at the Blue Rose prospect. Current programs aim to demonstrate tier-one scale at shallow depths, with management targeting 50+ meter intersections exceeding 1% copper.Beyond project development, Managing Director Rupert Verco has played a key role through the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies (AMEC) in shaping Australia's Critical Minerals Strategic Reserve. The AMEC submission advocates for production support mechanisms modeled on Australia's Capacity Investment Scheme rather than floor pricing, which Verco argues would unfairly advantage higher-cost producers.In 2025, Cobra expanded its land position by 3,200 square kilometers with favorable metallurgy confirmed, while divesting gold assets to Barton Gold for non-dilutive capital. The company holds approximately £5 million in in-the-money warrants and maintains a significant Barton Gold equity position, providing funding optionality as it pursues key 2026 milestones: defining a significant rare earths resource by June, completing a scoping study, and delivering copper-molybdenum drill results that could materially re-rate the asset.View Cobra Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cobra-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

She also talks about the importance of her legislation on rare earth minerals in regards to competition with China, and calls for reforms that address the concerns of how ICE agents operate. Senator Shaheen speaks with Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg's "Balance of Power."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump didn't threaten to take over Greenland only for reasons of military conquest. The arctic territory contains significant deposits of rare earth metals including dysprosium, terbium and yttrium. They're vital to tech – and currently, China controls a staggering 95% of them. But what are they and why are they so valuable? Commodities journalist Ronan Murphy, Editor of Argus Non-Ferrous Markets, tells Gavin Esler about the real economics behind Trump's bluster; why invading Greenland is a really bad business idea; and the surprising reason you can't mine ALL of Greenland's rare earths. (Clue: It's uranium).  www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Gavin Esler. Audio production: Robin Warren. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Artwork by James Parrett.

Interview with Mark Chalmers, CEO, Energy FuelsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/energy-fuels-nyseuuuu-americas-critical-minerals-champion-2025s-best-uranium-stock-returns-8965Recording date: 29th January 2026Energy Fuels, a leading U.S. uranium and critical minerals producer, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Australian Strategic Materials (ASM) through a scheme of arrangement valued at under 6% of its share registry. The transaction represents a significant milestone in Energy Fuels' strategy to build vertical integration across the rare earth supply chain, adding metals and alloys production capabilities to complement its existing separation operations at the White Mesa mill in Utah.ASM brings immediate production capability through its South Korean facility, which currently produces approximately 1,300 tons per annum of neodymium-iron-boron alloy—a critical material for permanent magnets used in electric vehicles and clean energy applications. The facility is already expanding to 3,600 tons per annum in Phase 2, with plans for Phase 3 expansion to 5,600 tons. Additionally, ASM had been developing plans for a U.S. facility with phased development up to 4,000 tons per annum, providing Energy Fuels with domestic production capabilities that align with government initiatives to reduce dependence on Chinese rare earth supply chains.The acquisition also includes the Dubbo project in New South Wales, Australia—a permitted rare earth development that adds another feed source to Energy Fuels' growing portfolio. The project is being re-evaluated using a heap leach processing approach that significantly reduces capital requirements by producing an intermediate concentrate for shipment to White Mesa mill rather than building full on-site separation facilities.CEO Mark Chalmers emphasized that vertical integration addresses a fundamental challenge in the rare earth industry: fragmentation. By controlling multiple steps from separation through alloys production, Energy Fuels expects to improve margins by up to 20% while positioning itself as a strategic partner for government programs and commercial customers seeking integrated solutions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of June 2026, following shareholder votes and court approvals under Australian law.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/energy-fuelsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The Trump administration has put aside its tariff threats, and is calling for a new trade bloc to focus on critical minerals. Ministers from 55 countries attended talks in Washington aimed at reducing their reliance on China, which dominates the production and processing of the elements. Meanwhile, Japan hopes to revolutionise its own mineral supplies, becoming the first country to retrieve deep-sea mud containing rare earth elements.

Greenland has suddenly emerged as a focal point in the global competition for critical minerals and energy. This episode explores the Arctic island's strategic importance through conversations examining how resource competition and geopolitics are converging in one of Earth's most remote locations. Host Eklavya Gupte speaks with Kip Keen, senior reporter at S&P Global Energy, on Greenland's mineral potential and the sobering realities facing companies that have invested there. Euan Sadden, senior editor at S&P Global Energy, interviews Jørgen T. Hammeken-Holm, deputy minister at Greenland's ministry of business, mineral resources and energy, about the regulatory environment and investor response to growing interest in the island's mineral wealth. Euan also speaks with Nicolas Jouan, a defense and security analyst at RAND, who explains why Greenland has become such a strategic focal point in a new era of resource security.

Palantir (PLTR) CEO Alex Karp said the company's earnings "exceeded over our most ambitious expectations." Kevin Hincks talks about what makes the print so notable and how it can lift the entire software space. One macro indicator that serves as a crutch to the market is the partial government shutdown. Kevin later notes Project Vault in the U.S. and why he "wouldn't trust a rally" in gold and silver. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Some weeks call for rain boots because the conversation is going somewhere most people would rather avoid. This episode steps into charged territory on purpose: geopolitics, tariffs, China and Taiwan, Greenland, and the policy decisions shaping today's headlines. There's no posturing here and no outrage bait, just a willingness to talk through complex questions instead of skirting around them. From there, the focus shifts to what actually matters for investors: how markets tend to react when policy dominates the news cycle, why short-term volatility shows up, and how data and discipline help cut through the noise. It's a reminder that staying informed doesn't mean staying reactive. — Submit your questions for the next Ask Monument Anything episode at Offthewall@monumentwm.com — Please see important podcast disclosure information at https://monumentwealthmanagement.com/disclosures   Episode Timeline/Key Highlights:   0:00 — Mailbag Setup And Topic Preview 2:10 — Greenland, Policy Not Politics 6:30 — Western Hemisphere Strategy And Oil 9:40 — Tariff Threats And Market Volatility 13:40 — Rare Earths, Greenland, And Leverage 16:20 — China–Taiwan Risk And Market Impact 20:00 — Shipbuilding Gap And Naval Capacity   Connect with Monument Wealth Management:    Visit our website: https://monumentwealthmanagement.com/   Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/monumentwealth/#   Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/monument-wealth-management/   Connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MonumentWealthManagement   Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MonumentWealth#Fit   Subscribe to our Private Wealth Newsletter: https://monumentwealthmanagement.com/subscribe/   Check out our Between Sips Podcast: Where Money Meets Meaning Because money without meaning never feels like wealth. https://monumentwealthmanagement.com/between-sips-podcast/ About "Off the Wall":    Markets are noisy.
