TNR Gold Corp Executive Chairman Kirill Klip talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's transition into a cash-flow-generating royalty business and the major catalysts surrounding the Los Azules copper project in Argentina. Klip described 2024 as a crucial year for TNR Gold, marking its graduation from a project generator to a royalty-focused company. “We are building the green energy metals royalty and gold company,” he said, noting that this shift is expected to crystallize market valuation and support share price momentum. A key milestone is the upcoming definitive feasibility study for the Los Azules copper, gold and silver project, operated by McEwen Mining. TNR Gold holds a royalty on the entire asset. Klip highlighted the strong economics already demonstrated in the 2023 preliminary assessment and suggested there could be a “substantial increase in all resources” in the updated study. The project has attracted major strategic investors including Stellantis, which committed over $275 million, and Rio Tinto, which entered via a $100 million venture. Klip also referenced potential new discoveries near the deposit and the possibility of McEwen Copper pursuing an IPO later this year. Klip added that TNR Gold recently released a corporate update reviewing M&A opportunities in the royalty space, and suggested the company's royalty holding could be valued up to $30 million based on comparable deals.

Paco Toronjo è una figura assolutamente imprescindibile, parlando dell'evoluzione del Fandango de Huelva. Francisco Antonio Toronjo Arreciado nasce all'Alosno nel 1928. Appassionatissimo ai cantes della sua terra, Paco imparò a cantare ascoltando i suoi compaesani. Iniziò facendo lavori "normali", nei campi e nelle miniere di Rio Tinto, per poi affacciarsi al professionismo. Inizia a cantare con suo fratello Pepe, formando il duo "Los hermanos Toronjo", con il quale approfondì moltissimo le sevillanas, dando una svolta importante a questo genere musicale, che prima era limitato a pochi brani "famosi", resi popolari da cantaores cone la Nina de los Peines. Le seguidillas Alosneras tradizionali grazie a loro diventano Sevillanas biblicas, più complesse e con una morale finale. Ti faccio ascoltare un cante por fandango del Alosno fatto dal fratello Pepe, che cantava in modo molto aderente alla tradizione.Purtroppo Pepe muore e Paco prosegue l'attività artistica spostandosi totalmente verso il fandango. Paco aveva una voce molto particolare, distintiva, e una capacità impressionante di improvvisare testi. Conosceva tutte le diverse melodie delle varie zone della provincia di Huelva, ma interpretò il tutto in maniera molto personale. Fra l'altro aveva un carattere molto socievole ed empatico, che manteneva anche queando si trovava in suituazioni molto formali, in teatro, in televisione: rimaneva l'amico della porta accanto! Durante una intervista televisiva, non avendo accanto un musicista che potesse accompagnarlo, cantò ugualmente senza accompagnamento, per compiacere la richiesta della conduttrice, mantenendo sempre la sua spontaneità. Questo rese molto facile per il pubblico identificarsi con lui.Il regime franchista stava schiacciando il flamenco e il fandango poteva rimanere confinato in una storia locale, ma Paco Toronjo riesce ad evolvere il fandango verso l'arte, e farlo conoscere ben al di là dei confini della provincia di Huelva. Portò il fandango anche al cinema, partecipando a due film di Carlos Saura, negli anni 90, "Sevillanas" e "Flamenco".E' figlio prediletto del Alosno, ha due vie a lui dedicate, una a Huelva e l'altra al Alosno. E'' molto riconosciuto e molto amato ancora oggi, a 27 anni dalla sua morte. La sua voce è moltlo personale e il suo modo di cantare generoso, senza limiti. Non si risparmiava ed era presente in modo spontaneo, avvicinandosi alla potenza espressiva del cante jondo, evolvendo il fandanguillo, più semplice e leggero, verso il flamenco, grazie anche ad una passione per il cante por Siguiriya. Possiamo ascoltare sue salidas del cante por siguiriya che poi evolvono in fandango!Ha ricercato uno stile forte e personale anche per la salida del cante por fandango, cosa che ha molto influenzato i cantaores a seguire, che sono stati incoraggiati a ricercare una propria via personale: Arcangel, Sandra Carrasco, Jesus Corbacho, La Argentina, Jeromo Segura (del quale ti parlerò nella prossima puntata del podcast). Questo ha enormemente arricchito il panorama del fandango de Huelva. A 70 Paco morì a Huelva, nel 1998. Qualcuno dice che una volta ammalatosi, non potendo più cantare, morì perché senza il cante la sua vita non aveva più senso per lui.Sono Sabina Todaro mi occupo di flamenco e danze e musiche del mondo arabo dal 1985, dal 1990 insegno a Milano, al Mosaico Danza, baile flamenco e un lavoro di ricerca sulle espressioni delle emozioni attraverso le dinamiche delle danze del mondo arabo che ho chiamato Lyrical Arab Dance e unpotente lavoro corporeo, Dance Workout. Personalmente ho sempre considerato Paco Toronjo come un punto chiave della storia del fandango, e grazie alla preparazione di questi podcast ho apprezzato tutti gli altri cantaores che hanno fatto la storia di questo palo, riconoscendo a Paco la capacità di averlo reso davvero definitivamente flamenco!

The Aussie share market started strong but lost steam by the close, ending slightly lower and breaking its winning streak—despite upbeat economic data from China. Energy, mining, and healthcare stocks dragged the market down, while major banks and gold stocks lifted. On the flip side, Mineral Resources tumbled after two board resignations, and Rio Tinto dropped on weak quarterly results. Investors are eyeing key U.S. economic data and an interest rate decision from Canada tonight, while tomorrow’s Australian jobs report will be crucial in shaping expectations for a potential RBA rate cut in May.

Interview with Kevin Das, Senior Technical Consultant of Frontier Minerals Ltd.Recording date: 8th April 2025New Frontier Minerals, dual-listed on the London and Australian Stock Exchanges, is strategically positioning itself in Australia's critical minerals sector with a focused approach to exploration and development. The company is advancing two key projects: the Harts Range project near Alice Springs and a copper development in Northwest Queensland.The Harts Range project has generated significant interest following recent airborne geophysical surveys that identified 46 potential targets, exceeding management expectations. The company's exploration focus centers on high-value heavy rare earth elements, particularly dysprosium and terbium, which are primarily sourced from China and are essential for defense applications and electric vehicles."What we have at Harts Range which makes it different to all the other rare earth projects is we have their high value heavy rare earths," explains Kevin Das, Senior Technical Consultant for New Frontier Minerals. "These high value heavy rare earths can only be found really in China and there's probably another handful of companies around the world that have these valuable and highly critical minerals."The company has identified two promising prospects at Harts Range, named "Bobs" and "Cusp," where surface sampling has yielded consistently high grades. An interesting feature of the mineralization is that rare earths, uranium, and niobium occur together, creating efficiency in exploration.Simultaneously, New Frontier is advancing its copper project in Northwest Queensland's Mount Isa region. The project includes the "Big One" deposit, containing approximately 2.2 million tons of copper at 1.1% grade. In January, the company signed an MOU with Austral Resources to potentially process ore at their nearby Mount Kelly facility, creating a pathway to production without substantial capital investment."That gives us a real clear pathway to production because we don't have to go to markets to raise $100 million to build a processing facility," Das notes.To fund its exploration activities, New Frontier has divested three non-core assets over the past six months, generating sufficient working capital for planned activities. This approach demonstrates capital discipline and allows the company to focus on its most promising assets without immediate dilution to shareholders.Near-term plans include validating targets at Harts Range, conducting trial processing of copper stockpiles, and drilling at Harts Range later this year. The company's presence in a region attracting major mining companies like Glencore, Anglo America, Rio Tinto, and FMG also creates potential for future M&A activity.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

L'exploitation des immenses réserves de fer des monts du Simandou pourrait marquer un tournant décisif pour l'économie guinéenne. Estimées à près de 8 milliards de tonnes de minerai, ces réserves font l'objet de discussions depuis trois décennies. Les autorités prévoient une entrée en production pour la fin de l'année 2025, présentant ce projet comme la vitrine de leur ambition économique. Face au manque de transparence, la population guinéenne, qui a connu les désillusions de l'exploitation de bauxite, oscille entre espoir et scepticisme. Sur le chantier du chemin de fer, la poussière et les boues envahissent les champs, rendant impossible toute culture. Mamoudou Youla, habitant du village de Sounganyia marche sur la terre craquelée qui a envahi sa rizière. « Tout ça, là, c'est le lieu de travail. Depuis que les sociétés minières sont arrivées il y a cinq ans, on ne travaille pas ici, rien, tout est gâté. », se lamente-t-il. Les dédommagements promis par les miniers ne suffisent pas à compenser les pertes subies par les agriculteurs. Mamaseta Camara, une autre habitante, exprime son désenchantement face aux promesses non tenues. « Quand les entreprises sont arrivées ici, j'étais contente, je me suis dit que c'était une opportunité pour nous. Mais ça ne s'est pas passé comme prévu. On subit de nombreux impacts. » Tout se fissure. Les murs des maisons, comme la confiance des habitants envers les sociétés.Il n'y aurait pas eu assez d'emploi pour les jeunes de Soungayah. La corruption autour du chantier est un autre sujet de préoccupation. « Quand vous allez sur le chantier pour du travail, il y a des intermédiaires qui vous demandent de l'argent. Environ 1 million et demi de francs guinéens », témoigne anonymement ce jeune homme. Il a le verbe haut et une profonde colère en lui. « À Conakry, on dit que nous sommes les boss. Qu'il y a un grand projet chez nous, le grand port de la Guinée, et donc qu'on est les rois, mais les gens ne savent pas ce qui se passe réellement ici. Pas d'emploi, pas d'eau, pas d'hôpital. J'en veux aux autorités guinéennes. Parce que depuis que le projet a commencé ici, personne ne s'est déplacé pour voir ce que nous traversons ici. Ils s'en foutent de nous ». Plus de 33 000 emplois ont déjà été créés sur le corridor, avançait Mamadi Doumbouya, le président de la transition, lors de ses derniers vœux à la nation.Des retombées XXL espérées pour l'économie guinéenneInitié en 1997, le projet Simandou a connu de nombreux rebondissements. D'abord attribués à Rio Tinto, les blocs 1 et 2 ont ensuite été confiés à BSGR, avant d'être réattribués à Winning Consortium Simandou en 2019, un partenariat sino-singapourien avec une participation guinéenne. Après le coup d'État en 2021, les travaux ont été interrompus par la junte. Puis, le géant de l'acier Baowu Steel a investi 6 milliards de dollars dans le projet, renforçant l'engagement de la Chine. Les espoirs sont énormes. Les autorités guinéennes misent sur des retombées économiques annuelles de 600 à 700 millions de dollars via des taxes et redevances. « Les ressources générées par les mines du projet Simandou et la transformation locale des minerais par la construction des raffineries nous ouvrent des perspectives heureuses d'avenir. », se réjouissait Mamadi Doumbouya. La construction d'une aciérie permettrait également de transformer une partie du fer sur place.« Nous osons espérer que cela soit la bonne cette fois, explique l'économiste Mohammed Camara. Pour un projet minier, l'important, c'est qu'est-ce qu'on en tire comme fiscalité, quels sont les impôts et taxes que ce projet va payer à l'État ? Il faut voir le projet sur du long terme et s'assurer de l'utilisation efficace des ressources. Le peu que l'on gagne, il faut l'investir où on peut impacter le plus. »Le « pont vers la prospérité » vanté par les autorités guinéennes n'est pas garanti. « Les autorités comptent beaucoup sur le Simandou parce que c'est un projet qui va doubler le produit intérieur brut du pays, mais attention, il ne faut pas croire que cela va régler tous les problèmes d'un seul coup », poursuit Mohammed Camara.Des contrats miniers toujours secretsD'autant qu'un doute subsiste sur les retombées économiques réelles. Les contrats signés entre l'État et les sociétés minières n'ont en effet pas été publiés. Ces trois conventions minières, ferroviaires et portuaires finalisées en 2023 ne sont connues que de quelques-uns dans le pays. « On se demande bien qui les a vues, c'est l'omerta la plus totale », témoigne un ancien proche du ministère des Mines.La publication des contrats est obligatoire selon le code minier guinéen. Or, ces conventions validées par la Cour suprême adoptées par le CNT – l'Assemblée nationale guinéenne – en février 2024 sont introuvables. Manque de transparence flagrant pour certains acteurs de la société civile. Incompréhension pour Oumar Totiya Barry de l'Observatoire des mines et métaux : « Officiellement, le Premier ministre parle de contrat stratégique, donc de secret d'État. Le ministre des Mines évoque le fait que le processus de négociation n'est pas terminé. Mais on sait quand même que ces documents sont passés au niveau du CNT et donc, que le processus est à son terme. On ne comprend pas pourquoi la Guinée ne rend pas encore public ces contrats. Cela aiderait aujourd'hui à améliorer le niveau de compréhension. »À lire aussiGuinée: de Sekou Touré à Mamadi Doumbouya, l'incroyable histoire du gisement de fer de SimandouMême du côté des sociétés minières, on peine à comprendre ce manque de transparence. Mais le gouvernement reste droit dans ses bottes sur cette question. « Quand on négocie avec quelqu'un, il y a toujours des clauses de confidentialité, explique le ministre du plan Ismaël Nabé. Nous sommes en train de discuter avec les partenaires industriels et on publiera au temps opportun. On renégocie parce que la Guinée était perdante. Nous sommes avec des partenaires et on doit avoir un commun accord, et respecter ce que l'on s'est dit. Si on est d'accord, ça sera publié. »Les éléments juridiques des conventions signées ont déjà été publiés dans un numéro spécial du Journal officiel qui n'a pas été rendu public, mais que RFI a pu se procurer. Certains y voient la preuve que tout est déjà négocié et que les autorités n'ont pas envie de dévoiler des contrats qui seraient défavorables à la Guinée. Un des négociateurs nous informe que la plupart des contrats de revente par lesquels les clients achètent le minerai produit ne sont pas encore signés. Le prix de revente du fer de Simandou – élément clé pour le calcul des recettes de l'État – ne serait pas fixé. Djiba Diakité, le président du comité stratégique de Simandou, a récemment expliqué dans une interview à Forbes Afrique que « si on mettait bout à bout tous les documents contractuels de Simandou... ça ferait 14 kilomètres ».Un train pour le minerai et pour les passagers ?La Guinée veut croire à la renaissance de son réseau ferroviaire grâce au gigantesque projet minier. Le gisement de fer, l'un des plus riches au monde, doit être relié au port de Moribayah par une ligne de chemin de fer de 650 kilomètres. Une infrastructure qui cristallise les espoirs de désenclavement de la Haute et Moyenne-Guinée. Pensée comme une double voie, cette ligne doit permettre non seulement l'acheminement du minerai vers la côte, mais aussi, à terme, le transport de marchandises et de passagers. « Le chemin de fer est multi-utilisateur. Une partie va servir aux miniers, une autre aux marchandises, mais aussi aux personnes. L'objectif est de développer plus de 2 000 km de voie ferrée dans le pays », déclare Ismaël Nabé, ministre du Plan à RFI.Cette ambition de désenclaver les régions agricoles, comme la zone de Kankan ou de N'zérékoré, suscite l'enthousiasme. Certains imaginent déjà des trains chargés d'ignames ou de bananes rejoindre plus facilement les marchés urbains. Mais sur le terrain, les observateurs sont plus prudents. « L'idée d'un train passager est séduisante, mais peu réaliste dans l'état actuel du tracé », estime Oumar Totiya Barry, directeur de l'Observatoire des mines et métaux. Selon lui, la ligne évite les grands centres urbains. « Il y a bien une quinzaine de gares prévues, mais elles sont souvent à des dizaines de kilomètres des villes. Madina Oula, par exemple, se trouve à plus de 80 km de Kindia. Pour Mamou, c'est le même problème avec la gare de Farenta. » En cause, une logique de tracé prioritairement industrielle. Le chemin de fer suit le chemin le plus court et le moins coûteux entre la mine et le port, au détriment d'une intégration fine au territoire. « Le mariage entre aménagement du territoire et conception du chemin de fer n'a pas suffisamment fonctionné », regrette Oumar Totiya Barry.À Kaloum, cœur battant de Conakry, certains commerçants restent sceptiques. Marqués par les promesses non tenues des précédents projets miniers, ils redoutent que Simandou ne soit qu'un mirage de plus. Dans les zones d'exploitation de la bauxite, comme à Boké, l'exploitation a certes rapporté des devises, mais elle a aussi laissé des séquelles : pollution de l'air, raréfaction de l'eau potable, routes dégradées. « Simandou, c'est du vent », tranche un commerçant, dénonçant une richesse qui ne profite toujours pas à la population. En attendant, Simandou creuse son sillon, porté par de grandes ambitions.

Chris Temple, Editor and Publisher of the National Investor, joins us to delve into the renewed interest in base metals, gold, uranium, and other critical minerals and the implications and potential benefits to the US as a mining jurisdiction on the back of the new executive order from Trump issued on March 20th titled “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production.”   This executive order will utilize the Defense Production Act (DPA) to focus on sourcing more domestically mined, processed, or refined critical minerals and strategic mineral as a matter of national security.  There appears to be a joint effort between the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and the Department of Defense to provide investment support, loans, and possibly grant for mining projects.  There is also an expedited priority on reviewing the permitting on projects seeking development from usual base metals like nickel aluminum and copper, but also includes rare earths, gold, and uranium.   Chris outlines what impact these initiatives may have on permitting timelines and regulations around developing new mines, as well as how this could affect opening up more funds, loans, and grants to bring in the necessary capital for moving these projects forward.  However, while there are many positives, Chris points to how many hurtles are still in place at various levels of government and from legal actions from NGOs; in addition to how much more real work is needed to earnestly impact the extractive industries in the United States.  We also layer on how this executive order squares with other policy initiatives like tariffs on many metals and countries, and a reduction in government workers and cost cutting measures.   This leads into a nuanced discussion of the spotlight and investor interest back on many of the large advanced projects that have been stalled for decades like Northern Dynasty's Pebble, Trilogy's Rambler road access to the Upper Kobuk mineral project, Rio Tinto's Resolution Mine in Arizona, and the Teck-Glencore JV at NorthMet in Minnesota.  Chris reminds listeners that with all those projects, if they do ever get approved, they would still be many years from producing more of these critical minerals.    He also highlights examples of how the government and manufacturers have a poor track record of acting in on these kinds of initiatives in a timely manner. Chris points to the disconnect in the long permitting process where the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) finally approved Lithium Americas Thacker Pass Lithium Project, and then automotive giant General Motors announced it would invest $650M in the mine project, giving GM exclusive access to the first phase of production.  When everything did finally start lining up for project development, the lithium prices which had been high for years reversed course and cratered in price, with an oversupply of lithium flooding the market and expectations being lowered for EV adoption rates and future demand.   We wrap up with Chris sharing why his top 3 commodities areas for this year are still gold, uranium, and traditional energy with oil and gas companies.   He is encouraged by the record all-time high prices in gold during the first quarter of 2025, but feels the biggest opportunity for resource investors at present is in the deeply discounted uranium equities, which he stated “are a gift at these levels.”   Click here to follow along with Chris at the National Investor website.

George Ogilvie, President and CEO of Arizona Sonoran Copper (TSX:ASCU – OTCQX:ASCUF), joins us to outline all the ongoing derisking work building towards a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the Cactus Project in Arizona, as the next key company milestone. The overall Cactus Project now contains over 11 billion pounds (“lbs”)  of copper in all categories – 7.3 billion lbs of copper in measured and indicated, and 3.8 billion lbs in the inferred category.   We start off having George share how the incorporation of the MainSpring area into the larger Parks-Salyer deposit, has allowed for a shift from underground mining over to an open-pit mining method.  They are reviewing moving the center of the open pit more towards the high-grade portion of the  Park-Salyer deposit, and infill drilling is showing it expanding towards that direction, which should present better economics and a faster payback period in the upcoming PFS.   We discuss that there was no royalty on the Mainspring property area, and that in January the Company has bought back 1% of the of the Bronco Creek Exploration net smelter royalty (“NSR”) for a cash payment of US$500,000, reducing the NSR from 1.5% to a remaining 0.5% NSR near the high-grade area of the Parks-Salyer deposit.  This gives investors more upside to the project at present, but also presents an area that can be renegotiated with companies when assembling the capital stack down the road. In February a subsidiary of Royal Gold Inc. (RLGD:NASDAQ) has purchased an existing 2.5% NSR on a portion of the Cactus Project for cash consideration of US$55 million from Tembo Capital. ASCU has the right to buy back 0.5% of Royal Gold's aggregate 2.5% NSR for US$7 million, by July 10, 2025.  This demonstrates the value that Royal Gold sees in the project.   Additionally, on January 31st Arizona Sonoran announced that it closed its private placement with Hudbay Minerals Inc. of 11,955,270 common shares at a price of C$1.68 for gross proceeds to the Company of C$20,084,853 million. Additionally, Nuton LLC, a Rio Tinto Venture, exercised its pre-emptive rights in respect of the Hudbay Placement, pursuant to the terms of its investor rights agreement, to maintain its 7.2% equity interest in the Company for gross proceeds of C$1,562,210.   Seeing strategic shareholders like Royal Gold, Hudbay Minerals, and Rio Tinto involved demonstrates a strong vetting process and validation of the importance of the Cactus Project.   The Cactus PEA released last year envisages an average 86k short ton (172 million pound) per annum open pit copper heap leaching operation over a 31-year mine life (“LOM”). In total, 5.3 billion lbs or 2.7 million short tons of LME Grade A copper cathodes is detailed for production directly onsite via solvent extraction and electrowinning hydrometallurgical processing. We discuss how the plan to produce high-purity copper cathodes domestically, presents distinct advantages in light of the new US copper tariffs.  There will be more challenging effects on other companies that need to send copper concentrates over to Asian smelters and then will be subject to those tariffs.   George outlines how 40,000 meters of drilling will mainly be infilling areas in the MainSpring property from inferred to measured and indicated, as well as further defining and expanding the resources at the Park-Salyer main area.  There is also more metallurgical work to prepare for incorporating these areas into the upcoming PFS, projected to come out in the Fall of 2025.   The company is also looking at acquiring more adjacent private land that will assist with optimizing the site layout for development. George highlights the strength of the infrastructure in place, the access to power, and the   George also provides some updates on permitting for the project, and the importance of it being on private land to help expedite the process, and that they should be submitting their applications later this year for administrative acceptance by early 2026, and then approval 6 months later.  This will time out well with their Bankable Feasibility Study and the capital stack coming together for a construction decision late next year.   If you have any follow up questions for George about Arizona Sonoran, then please email us at Fleck@kereport.com or  Shad@kereport.com and we'll get those reviewed by the company.   In full disclosure, Shad has a position in Arizona Sonoran Copper at the time of this recording and may chose to buy or sell shares at any time.    Click here to visit the Arizona Sonoran website to read over all the recent news.

Our previous episode: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/us-resource-equities-poised-to-rally-on-permitting-changes-and-project-pipelines-6275Recording date: 24th March 2025Compass, Episode 9Gold and copper prices have reached or are approaching all-time highs, creating favorable conditions across the mining industry. This price environment is beginning to positively impact equity valuations, particularly for producers adding cash to their bottom line at these record commodity prices.A significant indicator of market cycle progression is the accelerating pace of mergers and acquisitions. The M&A trend has evolved from producer-to-producer transactions to producer-to-developer deals, representing a natural maturation in the mining cycle. Recent notable transactions include Calibre-Equinox, Gold Fields' offer for Gold Road, Spartan's acquisition by Ramelius, and Northern Star's purchase of De Grey.What's particularly noteworthy is the increasing scale of these deals, with several multi-billion dollar transactions resetting expectations for developer valuations. The Australian market appears to be leading this trend.Several cash-rich producers remain positioned to make acquisitions, including Lundin Gold, Dundee, Iamgold, Barrick, and Centerra. With gold at all-time highs, producers are experiencing improved cash flows, making acquisitions easier to justify.The current market conditions are especially advantageous for single-asset producers looking to diversify and grow into multi-asset, mid-tier companies. Companies like Lundin Gold and Torex can leverage their strong market capitalizations to acquire additional properties, following a path similar to B2 Gold in previous cycles.Jurisdiction has become increasingly important, with a growing emphasis on secure Western locations. Recent policy developments in North America are enhancing project attractiveness, with Trump signing an executive order to streamline US permitting and Canada's federal government reducing its role in the permitting process. Finland and Sweden also represent favorable jurisdictions with straightforward regulatory frameworks.Three companies highlighted as particularly well-positioned in this environment include Troilus (with 13+ million ounces of gold in Quebec), Arizona Sonora (a copper project in the US with Rio Tinto involvement), and Omai (a gold project showing resource growth potential).As the market matures, investors are advised to position themselves in promising developers and explorers ahead of broader capital flows. While some companies have already seen significant share price appreciation, quality projects in favorable jurisdictions with clear paths to production remain available at attractive valuations.The progression from producer-focused to developer-focused M&A signals a maturing bull market that should benefit quality development projects, creating opportunities for investors who can identify valuable assets before they're recognized by the broader market.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to dig into the implications and potential benefits to the US as a mining jurisdiction on the back of the new executive order from Trump issued on March 20th; titled “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production.”    This executive order https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/immediate-measures-to-increase-american-mineral-production/ will utilize the Defense Production Act (DPA) to focus on sourcing more domestically mined, processed, or refined critical minerals and strategic mineral as a matter of national security.  There appears to be a joint effort between the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and the Department of Defense to provide investment support, loans, and possibly grant for mining projects.  There is also an expedited priority on reviewing the permitting on projects seeking development from usual suspect metals like nickel and rare earths but also including gold, uranium, and aluminum.   Erik reviews a number of companies that have his attention in the US that may benefit including juniors like Integra Resources(TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG), Stillwater Critical Minerals(TSX.V:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF), BCM Resources Corp (TSXV: B), and K2 Gold (TSX-V: KTO) (OTCQB: KTGDF).  We also note the potential impact on long-stalled mega projects like Northern Dynasty's Pebble, Trilogy's Rambler road access to the Upper Kobuk mineral project, or Rio Tinto's Resolution Mine in Arizona.   We also discuss whether US projects will now get a premium, due to removing permitting bottlenecks or possibly providing government money to assist in the development of mineral projects.    *In full disclosure, many of the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and they also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Prefiguring Autonomy: Student-led Social Movement in  Serbia Shake The Government This week, we speak with Ilian and Koko, two students from Serbia, and another anarchist comrade who participated in student and other movements earlier in this century to speak about the anti-corruption protest that have rocked the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) government of president Vučić' since the deadly collapse of a recently opened concrete train platform canopy in Novi Sad on November 1st 2024, so far killing 16 people. Starting with student demands for transparency and accountability from the government that were answered with violence and subterfuge, the protests have grown and drawn from wider and wider portions of the public into millions taking the streets, creating autonomous assemblies and plenums rejecting the political parties. The guests speak about the growth, the reactions against it, and the possibilites they see in what has the seeds that could bring it from social movement to social revolution.

Interview with Dan Blondal, CEO at Nano One Materials Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/nano-one-materials-tsxnano-taking-advantage-of-disruption-to-chinese-battery-supply-chain-6524Recording date: 5th March 2025Nano One Materials, led by CEO Dan Blondal, is positioning itself as North America's leading alternative to Chinese lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cathode materials. The company has strategically transformed its financial structure by selling $22 million in real estate assets while retaining crucial operational capabilities, converting from property owner to tenant to strengthen its balance sheet without shareholder dilution.With approximately $60 million in non-dilutive funding secured through government grants, strategic partnerships, and asset sales, Nano One has created a strong financial foundation to execute its plans despite challenging market conditions. This funding approach has effectively turned their initial $10 million investment in the Johnson Matthey facility in Quebec into a $60 million war chest.The company's competitive advantage lies in its proprietary "one-pot" technology, which combines multiple cathode production steps into a single process. Unlike traditional Chinese manufacturing methods that generate substantial wastewater, Nano One's approach produces zero wastewater discharge while reducing capital costs and operating expenses. This technology can utilize North American iron sources rather than relying on Chinese supply chains.Nano One's Quebec facility serves dual roles as both a production platform and demonstration site for potential licensing partners, with an estimated capacity of 1,600 tons annually. The company is initially targeting defense and aerospace customers who require non-Chinese supply chains, establishing credibility before expanding to automotive and energy storage markets.Despite fluctuations in EV market growth, Nano One sees strong fundamentals across multiple applications including entry-level EVs, hybrid vehicles, and energy storage systems for renewable energy and data centers. The growing demand for energy to power AI and data centers is driving unprecedented need for battery storage, primarily using LFP technology.For 2025, Nano One is focused on expanding capacity at its Quebec facility and validating materials with customers, with the goal of progressing from initial agreements to formal sales contracts by year-end. The company has attracted strategic partners including Rio Tinto, Sumitomo Metal Mining, and Worley, prioritizing relationships with organizations that share their long-term vision.As geopolitical tensions highlight supply chain vulnerabilities, Nano One's technology addresses critical national security priorities by enabling North American battery material production independent from Chinese suppliers.View Nano One Materials' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/nano-one-materialsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Jean-Marc Lieberherr examines Jean Monnet's vital role in securing US arms for Britain and France during the Second World War and in driving international cooperation. A committed internationalist, long before becoming one of the founding fathers of the EU, Jean Monnet played a crucial role in enabling cooperation between countries in two world wars. As a member of the Executive Committee of the Allied Maritime Transport Council during the First World War, he helped coordinate shipping between the Allied powers of France, Great Britain, Italy and, from 1918, the US, before becoming the Deputy Secretary General of the League of Nations in 1919. During the subsequent world conflagration, , Monnet, trusted by Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle, coordinated arms procurement from the US through the Anglo-French Co-Ordinating Committee, the British Purchasing Committee and the Combined Production and Resources Board. According to economist John Maynard Keynes, Monnet's work shortened that war by one year. After 1945, Monnet continued seeking internationalist solutions, connecting the French and German markets under the European Coal and Steel Community. Seeing how the principles of cooperation could be applied more broadly, he advocated for a European Defence Community during the Korean War. While this attempt at European defence integration failed, his work inspired the founding treaties of the EU. He became the first ‘Honorary Citizen of Europe' in 1976. Jean-Marc Lieberherr is the founding chairman of the Jean Monnet Institute (JMI), which is devoted to promoting Monnet's historical heritage. Before creating the JMI in 2021, he had a career with large international groups such as LVMH, Unilever and Rio Tinto. Further Reading Jean Monnet, Memoirs (London: Harper Collins, 1978).

I hope you are all well and staying safe! I was pondering the pollution of our worlds waterways this week and thought we could take on the discussion of some toxic and polluted (sometimes deadly) rivers. Obviously, I cannot speak on every single river that could qualify for these titles in one episode, so if you like this topic then we can do more in a future episode. Today however we are visiting West Java, Indonesia, where the Citarum River supplies water for drinking, bathing, cleaning, and irrigation for crops for millions of people. There also happen to be around 2,000 industries on its banks dumping waste such as heavy metals and toxic byproducts into the water. Solid waste such as plastic, diapers, and other household trash is also dumped in and along the river by residents of the capital city of Bandung and many villages living near its waters. In some areas, you cannot even see the surface of the water and dead fish and other animals float alongside the rubbish. This along with livestock waste and human sewage has made the river dangerous to those living near it and using it on a daily basis. We also discuss the Rio Tinto in Spain, where the water runs orange-red to blood red in color due to over 5,000 years of mining in the area. The water is acidic and filled with heavy metals and other mining byproducts. Oh, and we have to discuss the company that now operates the mine, conveniently called the Rio Tinto Company, and their many shady dealings all over the world. The Ganges is well known for a few things: it is a holy site for Hindus and it is heavily polluted with untreated sewage, human remains, industrial waste, and agricultural run-off. The water quality has been so bad that the incidence for illness after getting into the water is over 65%. Even, so, many Hindu pilgrims come to bathe ritually in this river and to dispose of human ashes as it is considered a place where sins are forgiven. I had to put at least one US river on here (because there are a lot of polluted rivers here as well), so I decided to go with the Ohio River (a hard decision as I was also thinking of the Mississippi and the Hudson as well). Most of the pollution here is caused by past industrial waste (including PFAs, dioxin, benzene, etc) and agricultural run-off. Oh and as a bonus, we head to the jungles of Peru to talk about one of my favorite rivers. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!
