Strategic resource investor Michael Gentile believes junior mining stocks will see a rerate higher as they are “entering the market recognition phase.” He offers a wide range of junior mining stock investing advice and analysis in this discussion with Bill Powers at The Mining Event in Quebec City on June 4th, 2025. From 2003 to 2018 Mr. Gentile worked as a professional money manager at Formula Growth Limited, an independent investment management firm established in Montreal in 1960 with a long-term track record of creating investor wealth. While at Formula Growth his main sector focus was the mining and natural resource sectors. In 2012, Mr. Gentile became the co-manager of the Formula Growth Alpha Fund, a market neutral hedge fund focused on small to mid-cap equities. From 2011 to 2018 the Formula Growth Alpha Fund became one of the largest market neutral funds in Canada, growing its assets under management to over $650 million by the end of 2018. In October 2018, Mr. Gentile retired from full time money management in order to be able to spend more time with his family. Subsequently, he remains a very active investor in the mining space owning significant stakes in several small-cap mining companies and is currently a strategic advisor to Radisson Mining Resources (TSX.V: RDS) and a board member of Roscan Gold Corporation (TSX.V: ROS) and Northern Superior Resources (TSX.V: SUP). 0:00 Introduction 0:24 Michael's roles at conference 2:35 “Market recognition phase” 3:15 Investor advocacy 4:21 Vetting executives 7:53 Reject most junior miners 10:06 Exit strategy 11:33 Lying executives 13:10 Reasonable compensation 14:58 Director selling stock 15:59 Management discount or premium 17:54 Deal entry 19:30 NorthIsle Copper and Gold 22:01 Arizona Metals 23:54 Silver bull market Michael's LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/michael-gentile-01028552 Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Eight Clare projects have been awarded a combined total of over €806,000 of a Government fund designed to recognise the contribution of communities hosting International Protection Applicants and Ukrainian Refugees. Among those set to benefit are Bunratty Search and Rescue, which is receiving €86,000, while Tullyvarraga Hall in Shannon has also received €150,000. Upgrades to the Nature Park at the Maid of Erin Roundabout also received €100,000. However, the total figure granted to Clare represents less than 5% of the €22 million announced under the latest round of funding of the Community Recognition Fund. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Shannon Fine Gael Councillor, Cllr Tony Mulcahy, and Ennis Tidy Towns Chair, Cllr Mary Howard. Photo (c) jordan_rusev from Getty via Canva.com

All Call Sunday A Sermon by Judy Mensch, missionary to the children  of Europe. For more information about Judy here.   Ouline Introduction Introduction of the speaker: Judy Mensch, a missionary, children's pastor, evangelist, and Bible school instructor. Personal anecdotes regarding support and shared history with the church community. Humorous and personal stories to establish rapport (e.g., pantyhose story behind the pulpit). Emphasis on the church as a community of people, not just a building. Reflections on Aging and Experience Positive perspective on aging: increased wisdom and social skills. Physical challenges of aging contrasted with personal vitality and ongoing activity. Encouragement to embrace age and continue serving. Purpose and Structure of the Service Explanation of the focus: The Body of Christ and individual roles within it. Outline of how the service will conclude: Invitation for newcomers to learn about Jesus. Instructions for congregation members to visit ministry tables and sign up for service opportunities. Emphasis that everyone should find a place to serve. The Body of Christ: Diversity and Function Analogy of the body: Each part has a unique and necessary function. Encouragement for all members to participate in ministry, not to remain spectators. Assurance that everyone has something to contribute. The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30) Reference to the parable as a basis for the message. Clarification of terminology: preference for “skills and gifts” over “talents.” Emphasis that all have received gifts/skills from God. Key Points of the Message A. Variety of Gifts Everyone has received something; no one is left out. Gifts differ in type and measure, reflecting God's sovereignty and purpose. Biblical references: 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, Ephesians. B. Responsibility of Having Gifts Each person is called to use their gifts in service. Serving fills personal gaps and brings fulfillment. God's will is for everyone to be active, not passive. C. Rewards of Using Gifts Joy is the reward for serving and using one's gifts. Serving others leads to personal growth and spiritual satisfaction. Diversity and Equality in the Body God gives different gifts to different people, but loves all equally. No gift is more honorable; all are necessary for the body to function. Reference to the “upside down kingdom”: God's values often differ from worldly values. Practical Application and Encouragement Encouragement to sign up for ministries, including less glamorous roles (e.g., nursery). Recognition that some ministries are less visible but equally important. Everyone's contribution matters, regardless of recognition or praise. Conclusion Restatement of the call to serve and be active in the body of Christ. Assurance that serving is serving Jesus himself. Final instructions for the congregation on next steps after the service.  

Everyone wants to be recognised for their talents & hard work. Pirkei Avos teaches that you can earn this praise - by doing the exact opposite of what you'd think. Access genuine recognition, transform your relationships and propel yourself to new heights in all endeavours.

Thousands of children are believed to be born to Catholic priests, yet their stories have been buried under decades of secrecy and shame. On this episode of the Your Radical Truth Podcast, I sat down with Linda Kelly Lawless, an Australian genealogist who discovered through DNA testing that her biological father was a Catholic priest. What followed was a six-year uphill battle to have the Church simply acknowledge the truth. Her story is one of courage, perseverance, and the deep trauma caused by institutional denial. Linda is now the first person in Australia to have her birth certificate legally corrected in such a case. This episode isn't just about her, it's about a silenced population finally being heard.  www.yourradicaltruth.com/038-Linda-Kelly-Lawless #CatholicChurch #DNAJustice #YourRadicalTruthPodcast

Deres stemmer steg i en følelsesladet dialog.En: They argued loudly in front of the painting, their voices rising in an emotional dialogue.Da: De indså, at deres forskellige mål skabte en barriere mellem dem.En: They realized that their different goals created a barrier between them.Da: Men dybt inde vidste de begge, at de skulle træffe en beslutning sammen.En: But deep inside, they both knew they had to make a decision together.Da: Til sidst sagde Søren stille: "Vi burde arbejde sammen.En: Finally, Søren said quietly, "We should work together.Da: Din kunst og min viden. En samarbejdet historie."En: Your art and my knowledge. A collaborative story."Da: Freja nikkede langsomt.En: Freja nodded slowly.Da: "Ja, lad os gøre det.En: "Yes, let's do that.Da: Vi rapporterer først efter vi har skabt noget sammen."En: We report only after we've created something together."Da: De gik hånd i hånd mod udgangen, uden at vide hvilke døre denne opdagelse kunne åbne for dem begge.En: They walked hand in hand towards the exit, not knowing which doors this discovery could open for them both.Da: De havde lært, at succes ikke kun kommer fra individuel præstation, men også fra at arbejde sammen.En: They had learned that success does not come only from individual achievement but also from working together.Da: Pludselig føltes museet ikke kun som en bygning fuld af kunst – men et sted, hvor deres fælles rejse startede.En: Suddenly, the museum didn't feel like just a building full of art anymore – but a place where their shared journey began.Da: Og således, i solen udenfor museet, planlagde de deres næste skridt sammen, fyldt med håb og inspiration.En: And so, in the sunlight outside the museum, they planned their next steps together, filled with hope and inspiration.

The 3,300-member Chinook Tribe in Washington State just scrapped their support of legislation for federal recognition tribal leaders had been working on for more than two years. The rejection comes after the key author of the bill added a series of onerous conditions at the last minute. A handful of other tribes around the country are working through the long, complicated process to secure recognition. Meanwhile, efforts to follow through on President Donald Trump's promise of federal recognition for the Lumbee Tribe is encountering criticism from other tribes who say the process ignores important considerations that most other tribes have to contend with. We'll get status updates on tribes awaiting federal recognition.

This podcast episode meticulously explores the intricate tapestry of influences that shape an artist's journey, particularly delving into the experiences of a prominent figure within the hip-hop landscape. The discussion pivots around the duality of growing up amidst iconic cultural figures, which the speaker describes as both a blessing and a challenge, necessitating a departure from familiar surroundings to truly establish one's artistic identity. We reflect on the speaker's formative encounters with legendary artists and the profound impact of familial connections, particularly in relation to the Sugar Hill Gang and the broader New Jersey music scene. Furthermore, we contemplate the evolving dynamics of women in battle rap, acknowledging the burgeoning recognition and platforms available to female artists, while also addressing the persistent disparities in treatment compared to their male counterparts. This episode serves as a compelling narrative of resilience, ambition, and the multifaceted nature of artistic development in an ever-changing industry.Takeaways: The influence of family in the music industry can significantly shape one's career trajectory. Growing up in a culturally rich environment exposes individuals to various artistic influences. Recognition in the music business often requires stepping outside one's comfort zone and familiar surroundings. It is essential for artists to maintain their individuality while navigating industry expectations. Women in the rap game face unique challenges but can achieve success through perseverance and innovation. Collaboration between different entertainment sectors, such as music and television, can create new opportunities for artists.

Some of our most transformational donors are the ones you'll never see on a wall or at a gala. They drive up in Hondas, not Bentleys—and they give in silence, often more generously than the loudest names on the marquee. But here's the catch: treating anonymity like invisibility is a critical failure. These quiet philanthropists still crave impact, connection, and trust—they just want it without the spotlight. Ignore them, and you don't just lose a gift; you risk losing a legacy.
