Interview with Alain Lambert, CEO of Prismo Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/prismo-metals-csepriz-junior-explorer-targets-deep-porphyry-system-in-arizonas-copper-triangle-6645Recording date: 23rd April 2025In a recent interview, Alain Lambert, CEO of Prismo Metals, shared insights on political developments and commodity markets affecting the mining sector. With over three decades of experience in junior capital markets since 1987, Lambert provided valuable perspectives for resource investors navigating current market conditions.Lambert predicts the upcoming Canadian federal election on April 28, 2025, will likely result in a Liberal majority government under Mark Carney, continuing similar policies to the Trudeau administration. He attributes this political shift to anti-American sentiment in Canada, particularly in response to comments from US President Trump about Canada becoming "the 51st state." Despite current US-Canada trade tensions, Lambert expresses confidence these issues will be resolved once the new Canadian government is formed.On US trade policy, Lambert views Trump's tariff strategy as a negotiation tactic aimed at reducing trade deficits, addressing government spending, and managing national debt. He anticipates these policies will ultimately benefit the US economy, predicting "an historical economic boom."Lambert references a March executive order directing US government departments to streamline approvals for critical mineral projects, including copper. This policy environment could accelerate development timelines and improve capital access for companies operating in the US resources sector.Regarding metals markets, Lambert acknowledges gold's dramatic price increase from approximately $2,000 to $3,400 over 15 months but expects a correction. He notes mid-cap producers have benefited from the price rally, while junior explorers haven't seen proportional gains. Lambert cautions that any gold price correction could disproportionately impact junior exploration companies.Lambert is particularly optimistic about copper market dynamics, highlighting artificial intelligence as a significant demand driver that is often overlooked. "One thing they don't talk about enough is the impact of AI on electricity demand and the need for more electricity," he stated, adding this factor could be "more pronounced than demand because of electric vehicles."Prismo Metals is strategically positioned with a large copper exploration target approximately 40km from the Resolution Copper project (Rio Tinto/BHP joint venture) in Arizona. Lambert reports significant interest from major mining companies in US copper projects, creating potential partnership opportunities for companies like Prismo in jurisdictions set to benefit from favorable policy developments and strong underlying copper demand.View Prismo Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/prismo-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Sarah and guest “answerers” Mark Charles (https://wirelesshogan.com) and Phil Fox (https://www.youtube.com/MrPhilFox)continue the conversation from the last episode. Questions include: Settlers are often told to seek relationship with local Native people. But what if Native folks don't seem to want this? What does it really mean to build right relationship with Native people? I have grown up and lived most of my life with an understanding of human progress, that each successive generation lived better than the generation prior. Our medical treatments improve; our scientific knowledge advances; our technology gets better and better. For a variety of reasons, I am now questioning this view. Please comment on the idea of human progress. In particular, please share your thoughts on the idea of human progress in the area of morality. Dr. King famously said “The arc of the moral universe is long, but leans towards justice.“ But as I learn more about Indigenous societies, I am no longer confident that our modern society is more just than certain societies many centuries ago.

In this episode, we talk to Patrick Bell, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon. His Diocese, which is a member of the Coalition's Repair Network, has gone above and beyond in repudiating the Doctrine of Discovery. They started, first, with land rematriartion and then later came up with a repudiation statement. Patrick talks about how this “action-first” repudiation happened, what motivates him in this work, and why guilt isn't an effective motivator for white people. Patrick was also willing to share vulnerably about being the father of Indigenous children in this interview – which opened up a space for all three of us to share intimately.

The battle over copper mining at Oak Flat, an area sacred to Native tribes, has been waged for two decades. On March 1, the dispute marked a significant milestone: The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals narrowly rejected the argument from the grassroots group Apache Stronghold that mining activity would destroy First Amendment religious rites observed by Native tribes. The court voted 6-5 to uphold a lower court's denial of a preliminary injunction that sought to halt the transfer of federal land to Resolution Copper for the mining project. The suit, Apache Stronghold v. United States, was filed in January 2021 in federal district court. After losing that ruling, the Native rights group took the case to the appeals court, where a three-judge panel rejected Apache Stronghold's assertion that the mine would pose a substantial burden to their First Amendment religious practice rights. Oak Flat, located just shy of 70 miles east of Phoenix, is regarded as one of the most sacred sites to the Apache people. It has been at the center of debate on religious protections. Apache Stronghold, with the backing of the nation's largest religious freedom law firm, Becket Law, is resolute in its commitment to fight for the religious site's protection. However, with this narrow ruling – a victory for Resolution Copper – the question now is: what's next for the Apache people? In this episode of The Gaggle, Mary Jo Pitzl and Kaely Monahan sit down with Indigenous Affairs Reporter, Debra Krol, to find out what's next for the sacred site. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we talk to Basil Brave Heart and Hilary Giovale. This was an amazing conversation about forgiveness – forgiving our oppressors, how true healing and repair happen given the reality of historical harms, how white settlers need to forgive themselves as part of the work of reparation. Basil also shares deeply from his tradition in ways that Sarah and Sheri found very moving. Basil Brave Heart is an Oglala Lakota Elder who lives in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. He is a Catholic boarding school survivor, retired school administrator, addiction counselor, and Korean War combat veteran who served as a paratrooper in the 1950s. As a young child in the 1930s, Basil's Grandma Lucy told him about the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre. She counseled him to forgive the soldiers who perpetrated the massacre. A dream of his Grandma later guided Basil to change the name of a peak in the Black Hills. In 2016, it was renamed “Black Elk Peak (https://www.lakotatimes.com/articles/black-elk-peak-name-change-ceremony/)” at the federal level. Basil studies how quantum physics corroborates the wisdom woven throughout the Lakota language and other Indigenous languages. Over the last decade, he has been facilitating truth, healing, and forgiveness across historical divides. Hilary Giovale is a mother, writer, and community organizer who lives in Flagstaff, Arizona. A ninth-generation American settler, she is descended from Celtic, Germanic, Nordic, and Indigenous peoples of Ancient Europe. An active reparationist, her work is guided by intuition, love, and relationships. Hilary seeks to follow Indigenous and Black leadership in support of human rights, environmental justice, and equitable futures. She is the author of Becoming a Good Relative: Calling White Settlers Toward Truth, Healing, and Repair (https://green-writers-press.square.site/product/becoming-a-good-relative-signed-copy-pre-order/35?cp=true&q=false&sa=true&sbp=false)(Green Writers Press, April 2024). Since 2019, Basil and Hilary have been collaborating on healing work, focused on repairing the harm that has been wrought by the Doctrine of Discovery.

On March 21, the Apache Stronghold's case against the proposed Resolution Copper mine was reopened. The battle is over a proposed copper mine in Oak Flat, just southeast of metro Phoenix.  The land sits on top of one of the world's largest undeveloped copper reserves in the world. The mine, if allowed to go forward, would produce an estimated 40 billion pounds of copper over the next four decades. This is according to Rio Tinto, a global mining corporation of which Resolution Copper is a subsidiary.  But the land is sacred to the San Carlos Apache tribe. Tribal members say that Oak Flat is a physical cornerstone of their religious beliefs.  In this episode of The Gaggle, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl sit down with indigenous affairs and environmental reporter Debra Krol to discuss the fate of Oak Flat and Resolution Copper, and how this could end up being one of the biggest religious cases in recent decades.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Litigation Update: Apache Stronghold v. United States Goes En Banc at the Ninth Circuit

Teleforum

This case presents an intersection between Native Americans’ free exercise rights and the Government’s power to regulate its territories. In 2014, Congress enacted the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act. The Act effectuated a trade of land between Resolution Copper, a mining company, and the federal government. Resolution Copper gave the government 5,300 acres of environmentally sensitive and culturally important lands. In exchange, the Government gave Resolution Copper 2,400 acres containing the third largest copper deposit in the world. Within the 2,400-acre tract of land is Chi’chil Bildagoteel, or “Oak Flat”, a place of central spiritual importance to the Western Apache. It is the direct corridor to their Creator and the site of numerous religious ceremonies. If Resolution Copper is given the land, the religious site will be destroyed and turned into a mine. Apache Stronghold sued to prohibit the land trade under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), the Free Exercise Clause, and under a theory that the trade violates the Government’s trust obligation to the Apaches. The United States argued that pursuant to its constitutional authority over the territories and existing caselaw that the trade was lawful. The District Court rejected a preliminary injunction and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that judgment by a 2–1 vote. Judge Patrick Bumatay dissented. And the Ninth Circuit agreed to rehear the case en banc this month. Apache Stronghold again presses its three claims. Centrally, it argues that the United States has substantially burdened the Apaches’ religious exercise by authorizing the transfer and destruction of Oak Flat—rendering their religious exercise impossible. The United States argues a line of precedent—culminating in Employment Division v. Smith—bar Apache Stronghold’s claims. The Government particularly relies on Lyng v. Northwest Cemetery Protective Association, which permitted the U.S. Forest Service to develop a road through government land that would traverse a tribal holy site, stating, “Whatever rights the Indians may have to the use of the area, however, those rights do not divest the Government of its right to use what is, after all, its land.” The United States argues that RFRA and the remainder of Apache Stronghold’s claims do not undermine the holding in Lyng. At stake is a religious site of central importance to a native tribe that cannot be replaced and development of the third largest copper deposit in the world. To discuss this exciting en banc hearing, the Federalist Society is pleased to host an excellent debate team. On behalf of Apache Stronghold, Luke Goodrich, VP and Senior Counsel for Becket, who is serving as lead counsel for Apache Stronghold. And defending the United States’ position, Anthony J.

Part 1: In 2015 the United States congress passed the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which included the rider: The Southeastern Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act 2014 (“Act”). The “Act” will grant Resolution Copper, a joint venture between Rio Tinto and BHP, the 2,200 acres located in the Tonto National Forest in Arizona. If Resolution Copper succeeds in completing the land transfer, they will build one of the largest open ore and copper mining pits in the world, leaving once completed, a 1,000 foot-deep crater over 2 miles across. Chi'chil Bildagoteel (Oak Flat) is an active, cultural sacred site to the N'dee (San Carlos Apache Nation) and surround Native American nations. The Apache Stronghold has been and continues leading the struggle to protect and save Oak Flat for future generations. They are presently on a Spiritual Convoy from the Apache Nation to San Francisco, CA for the 9th Circuit hearing where they are seeking an injunction to prevent the land exchange of Oak Flat to Resolution Copper. Turn in for this, what people can do to help, plus more.

In southern Arizona, the proposed site of a new mine is pitting the Resolution Copper company against the Western Apache people. In the Tonto National Forest, Oak Flat sits above one of the largest untapped copper reserves in North America. It’s also a sacred site for the nearby San Carlos Apache tribe. Just this month, the Biden administration put a pause on a land transfer that would have allowed Resolution Copper to build the mine. Our partners at KJZZ spoke with Randy Serraglio, Southwest conservation advocate with the Center for Biological Diversity, about the potential impacts of this extraction project.

#Pocahontas #Disney "Você pensa que é dono de toda terra que pisa, Que a Terra é só uma coisa morta a ser clamada" A Tribo Apache Ocidental entrou com um recurso de emergência numa providência cautelar, no passado sábado, junto ao Tribunal de Apelações dos Estados Unidos para o Nono Circuito com o objetivo de uma mineradora estrangeira se abster de destruir as suas terras sagradas em Oak Flat, no Arizona. A Resolution Copper - a empresa de mineração - irá possuí-la e controlá-la nas próximas duas semanas. É por isso que é uma espécie de emergência. Oak Flat não é um terreno qualquer. Os Apaches Ocidentais vêm-no como sagrado, muitas vezes palco para orações e cerimónias. Mas eles não estão protegidos por algum tipo de lei? Eles meio que estavam. Passado.

#Pocahontas #Disney "You think you own whatever land you land on, The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim" The Western Apache Tribe filed an emergency appeal on a preliminary injunction, last Saturday, at the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit with the purpose to a foreign mining company refrain from destroying their sacred land at Oak Flat in Arizona. Resolution Copper - the mining company - will own it and control it in the next week. That's why this is kind of an emergency. Oak Flat is not some average land. The Western Apache consider it to be sacred, often used as a stage for prayers and cerimonies. Aren't they protected by some kind of law? They kind of were. Past tense. Other cases: - Ex-partner vs. ex-partner on domestic tasks (Supreme Court of Portugal); - Hotel Rwanda Case (Rwanda); - The extradition of billionaire business man and jeweller to India (United Kingdom); - We like to keep you updated: We have a lot of catching up to do!

Center for Biological Diversity Conservation Advocate Randy Serraglio discussed two key Arizona environmental campaigns and sacred indigenous lands that are under even more pressure as the Trump administration comes to an end. At stake are Oak Flat and construction on the border wall. He says that government agencies are bowing to political pressure to expedite controversial actions in favor of mining interests. According to the Arizona Mining Reform Coalition, on January 4th, the US Forest Service announced that they would be publishing a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on January 15, 2021, which would trigger a land swap that would trade Oak Flat away to international mining company Rio Tinto for its proposed Resolution Copper to build a large underground copper mine. Randy Serraglio discussed steps that the Biden administration can take with newly appointed Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland. Haaland is an enrolled member of the Laguna Pueblo and a 35th-generation New Mexican. When confirmed, she will become the first Native American to run the Department of the Interior and the first Native American Cabinet secretary in U.S. history. He also discussed policies that are rooted in racism and white supremacy and how we must dismantle racism and white supremacy in the dominant culture, in our own organizations, and in ourselves. Randy Serraglio, Southwest Conservation Advocate, works on a variety of public-lands and other conservation issues in Arizona and the Southwest. He joined the Center in 2007 and currently leads the Center’s effort to stop proposed copper mines at Rosemont and Oak Flat, advocates for the jaguar and other protected southwestern species, and works to stop the border wall and destructive militarization of the border region. A veteran of many environmental and human rights campaigns, he holds a bachelor’s in Latin American studies from the University of Arizona. This map shows resources that would be lost if the Resolution Copper Mine isbuilt in Arizona. The mine proposal involves the privatization of 2,400 acres(red boundary) from the Tonto National Forest to Resolution Copper. It wouldalso nullify an Executive Order that has protected the Oak Flat Campgroundfrom mining for over 50 years (black boundary). The type of mining beingproposed would occur deep underground and create empty voids so largethat the land above caves in on itself. The so-called block caving methodwould result in a crater one mile wide and 1,000 feet deep, noted on the mapas circular subsidence zones. The minethreatens to dewater Ga’an Canyon, which provides permanent water and lushriparian habitat for the area’s wildlife and is considered by Apaches to be aplace where spiritual beings that represent healing live.

Join Stephanie Mushrush and Carrie "Cc" Curley Strong as they share about the Apache Stronghold spiritual movement to Save Oak Flat (Chi'chil Bildagoteel). Apache Stronghold, led by Wendsler Nosie, Sr. for the last decade, is a spiritual movement to protect the Apache Way of life: their sacred sites and cultural and spiritual heritage. The movement is committed to preventing Resolution Copper, a foreign mining corporation & subsidiary of BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, from desecrating the San Carlos Apache Nation's ancestral lands. Resolution Copper proposes building an environmentally destructive "block cave" copper mine on Oak Flat, which would gravely threaten land, water, air quality, cultural and sacred sites, including areas with petroglyphs and burial grounds of the Apache. In 2015, a deceptive land swap hidden in the Defense Authorization Act, aimed to give the ancestral Apache lands of Oak flat to Resolution Copper. Having been deemed "Forest Service land" as a result of colonization, Oak Flat was to be exchanged for private "conservation" lands throughout Arizona. Since 1955, due to the Oak Flat Withdrawal, Oak Flat had been protected from all forms of public appropriation as part of the Tonto National Forest. Oak Flat advocates assert that President Eisenhower initiated this withdrawal to effectively protect the area from mining due to its cultural and natural value. The Save Oak Flat Act, recently reintroduced in Congress (sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders in the Senate and Representative Raul Grijalva in the House) would repeal the Oak Flat Land Exchange Act, and prevent Resolution Copper from developing and operating a large-scale copper mine on sacred territory of the Apache, essential to their practices of cultural and spiritual renewal. Both diverse artists in their own right, Stephanie and Cc share how artivism informs the breadth of their activism and how their spiritual journeys marching to Oak Flat have distinctly empowered and forever transformed their own lives. Stephanie Mushrush is a Co-Founder of Red Earth Defense, a grassroots indigenous-led LA community organization; a Many Winters Gathering Of Elders - Core Committee member; and an organizer with Apache Stronghold to protect Chich’il Bildagoteel aka. Oak Flat in Arizona. Stephanie is a member of the Washoe Tribe of NV & CA and identifies as an urban Native, as well as half Filipina. After working at Sherman Indian High School for nearly a decade, Stephanie earned her Master of Social Welfare from UCLA in 2013. She now works as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at American Indian Counseling Center for LA County. She is also a singer/musician under the artist name Sallee Free. Her debut album, inspired by intergenerational healing, will be released in early 2019. Carrie "Cc" Sage Curley is a key member of the Apache Stronghold spiritual movement to Save Oak Flat, Chi Chil Bildagoteel. She resides on San Carlos Apache Reservation, and her clan is K'aitsehit'i'dn'. Cc is among the Stronghold that maintained an Oak Flat occupation that lasted over 1.5 years, extended from the first annual gathering in February 2015. As a longstanding artivist, Cc uses art as her “weapon” to support and engage people in the Apache Stronghold spiritual movement to “Save Oak Flat,” the movement to stop copper mining on the sacred ancestral lands of the San Carlos Apache Nation. She has murals across Indian Country, including a piece representing four generations of women, on Los Angeles' own Winston Street Alley, aka. Indian Alley. By depicting indigenous peoples, she educates and inspires others about Apache culture and their Earth-honoring wisdom traditions. Dedicated to her community, Cc teaches art to Apache children and contributes daily to an indigenous farm project.

In episode six we travel to the San Carlos Apache reservation, which has shrunk in size five times to accommodate the mining industry. So when Resolution Copper made plans to develop the largest copper mine in North America here on Oak Flat, land considered sacred ground, many tribal members said enough.

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/wu-190-walk-to-save-oak-flat-oct-15/ Sally Noedel recently walked with her daughter Emma Bigongiari to Oak Flat, Arizona--a 1,000-mile trip to raise awareness of plans to allow destructive mining in a desert river area that is sacred to the San Carlos Apache people. Sally says that she and her daughter--who was taking a gap year between high school and college--had an amazing journey, spending hours together, traveling in National Forest land, meeting people along the way, and culminating in a few days with tribal elders and other residents in Oak Flat. The women took their journey after learning about Resolution Copper's plan to mine the area using a process that will destroy sacred sites, damage a desert ecosystem and decimate recreational bouldering areas. There have been ongoing efforts by indigenous people, environmentalists and others to encourage Congress to rescind its legislation that gave rights to 2,400 acres of National Forest land in Arizona to the Australian/British conglomerate--one of the biggest mining companies in the world. Sally plans to share photos and stories in a one-hour talk, 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15, at Bainbridge High School in the 300 building.

Mother and daughter team Sally Noedel and Emma Bigongiari are making plans to walk Washington state to Arizona, hoping to catalyze opposition to a proposed copper mine. They are telling their story at the Bainbridge Public Library on Saturday, May 16, at 7:00 p.m. You can also learn more on their Walk to Save Oak Flat website. They are walking to protest a mine that is planned for Oak Flat, Arizona, about 100 miles north of Tucson – in land that's part of the Tonto National Forest. The copper is sought by Resolution Copper—a conglomerate of two of the world's largest mining companies, one based in the UK and one in Australia. Oak Flat is sacred to the San Carlos Apache tribe and has been a part of their religious traditions for generations. This area also contains sensitive and endangered species and a prime recreational area, particularly for rock climbers. It was the site of the largest outdoor climbing competition in the world, the Phoenix Bouldering Contest, for 14 years running. Mother and daughter say that if the mine is built it will result in dramatic environmental destruction. The method of mining Resolution Copper plans to use—block cave mining—will cause a large portion of land to collapse, forming a rubble crater that could be anywhere from 2 to 4 miles in diameter. The mine will also create an estimated 1.5 billion tons of tailings and groundwater removal. Environmentalists fear water contamination and habitat destruction; the Apache tribe says its rights are being violated. Noedel and Giongiari depart for Arizona at the end of this month, on Friday, May 29. They estimate the 1,500-mile journey will take three to four months, and they plan to camp, sleep in their car, and stay with supporters along the way. The pair are asking people to contact their representatives and senators, sign a petition asking the president to declare Oak Flat a National Monument, and donate to their Walk to Save Oak Flat fund.
