Podcasts about Sonoran

It's been one year since Apache teen Emily Pike went missing from a group home. Her legacy and impact even as no arrests have been made in the case. Plus, can you make genuine Sonoran cuisine vegetarian?

Keith challenges the usual "overpopulated vs. underpopulated" debate and shows why that's the wrong way to think about demographics—especially if you're a real estate investor. Listeners will hear about surprising global population comparisons that flip common assumptions.  Why raw population numbers don't actually explain housing shortages or rent strength. How household formation, aging, and migration really drive demand for rentals. Which kinds of markets tend to see persistent housing pressure—and why the US has a long‑term demographic edge. You'll come away seeing population headlines very differently, and with a clearer lens for spotting where future housing demand is most likely to show up.

I'm your host. Keith Weinhold, is the world overpopulated or underpopulated? Also is the United States over or underpopulated? These are not just rhetorical questions, because I'm going to answer them both. Just one of Africa's 54 nations has more births than all of Europe and Russia combined. One US state has seen their population decline for decades. This is all central to housing demand today.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:31   Welcome to GRE from Norfolk Virginia to Norfolk, Nebraska and across 188 nations worldwide, you are inside. Get rich education. I am the GRE founder, Best Selling Author, longtime real estate investor. You can see my written work in Forbes and the USA Today, but I'm best known as the host of this incomprehensibly slack John operation that you're listening to right now. My name is Keith Weinhold. You probably know that already, one reason that we're talking about underpopulated versus overpopulated today is that also one of my degrees is in geography and demography, essentially, is human geography, and that's why this topic is in my wheelhouse. It's just a humble bachelor's degree, by the way, if a population is not staying stable or growing, then demand for housing just must atrophy away. That's what people think, but that is not true. That's oversimplified. In some cases. It might even be totally false. You're going to see why. Now, Earth's population is at an all time high of about 8.2 billion people, and it keeps growing, and it's going to continue to keep growing, but the rate of growth is slowing now. Where could all of the people on earth fit? This is just a bit of a ridiculous abstraction in a sense, but I think it helps you visualize things. Just take this scenario, if all the humans were packed together tightly, but in a somewhat realistic way, in a standing room only way, if every person on earth stood shoulder to shoulder, that would allow about 2.7 square feet per person, they would sort of be packed like a subway car. Well, they could fit in a square, about 27 kilometers on one side, about 17 miles on each side of that square. Now, what does that mean in real places that is smaller than New York City, about half the size of Los Angeles County and roughly the footprint of Lake Tahoe? So yes, every human alive today could physically fit inside one midsize us metro area. This alone tells you something important. The world's problem is certainly not a lack of space. Rather, it's where people live and not how many there are. So that was all of Earth's inhabitants. Now, where could all Americans fit us residents using the same shoulder to shoulder assumption, and the US population by mid year this year is supposed to be about 350,000,00349 that's a square about five and a half kilometers, or 3.4 miles on each side. And some real world comparisons there are. That's about half of Manhattan, smaller than San Francisco and roughly the size of Disney World, so every American could fit into a single small city footprint. And if you're beginning to form an early clue that we are not overpopulated globally, yes, that's the sense that you Should be getting.     Keith Weinhold  5:01   now, if you're in Bangladesh, it feels overpopulated there. They've got 175 million people, and that nation is only the size of Iowa. In area, Bangladesh is low lying and typhoon prone. They get a lot of flooding, which complicates their already bad sanitation problems and a dense population like that, and that creates waterborne diseases, and it's really more of an infrastructure problem in a place like Bangladesh than it is a population problem. Then Oppositely, you've got Australia as much land as the 48 contiguous states, yet just 27 million people in Australia, and only 1/400 as many people as Bangladesh in density. Now we talk about differential population. About 80% of Americans live in the eastern half of the US. But yet, the East is not overpopulated because we have sufficient infrastructure, and I've got some more mind blowing population stats for you later, both world and us. Now, as far as is the world overpopulated or underpopulated, which is our central question, depending on who you ask and where they live, you're going to hear completely different answers. Some people are convinced that the planet is bursting at the seams. Others warn that we're headed for a population collapse. But here's the problem, that question overpopulated or underpopulated, it's the wrong question. It's the wrong framing, especially if you're into real estate, because housing demand doesn't respond to total headcount or global averages or scary demographic headlines. Housing demand responds to where people live, how old they are, and how they form households. And once you understand this, a lot of things suddenly begin to make sense, like why housing shortages persist, why rents stay high, even when affordability feels stretched, why some states struggle while others boom, and why population headlines often mislead investors.   Keith Weinhold  7:20   So today I want to reframe how you think about population and connect it directly to housing demand, both globally and right here in the United States. And let's start with the US, because that's probably where you invest.    Keith Weinhold  7:33   Here's a simple fact that should confuse people, but usually doesn't, the United States has below replacement fertility. I'll talk about fertility rates a little later. They're similar to birth rates, meaning that Americans are not having enough children to replace the population naturally and without immigration, the US population would eventually shrink, and yet in the US, we have a housing shortage, rising rents, tight vacancy and a lot of metros and persistent demand for rental housing, which could all seem contradictory. Now, if population alone determine housing demand, well, then the US really shouldn't have any housing shortage at all, but it does so clearly, population alone is not the main driver, and really that contradiction is like your first clue that most demographic conversations are just missing the point. Aging does not reduce housing demand. The way that people think a misconception really is that an aging population automatically reduces housing demand. It does not, in fact, just the opposite. If a population is too young, well, that tends to kill housing demand, and that's because five year old kids and 10 year old kids do not form their own household. Instead, what an aging population often does is change the type of housing that's demanded, like seniors aging in place, some of them downsizing. Seniors living alone. Sometimes after a spouse passes away, others relocating closer to health care or to family. So aging can increase unit demand even if population growth slows. So already, we've broken two myths here. Slower population doesn't mean weaker housing demand, and aging doesn't mean fewer housing units are needed. Now let's explain why. Really, the core idea that unlocks everything is that people don't live inside, what are called Population units. They live in households. You are one person. That does not mean that your dwelling is then one population unit. That's not how that works. You are part of a household, whether that's a house a Household of one person or five or 11 people, housing demand is driven by the number of households, the type of households and where those households are forming, not by raw population totals. So the same population can have wildly different demand. Just think about how five people living together in one home, that's one housing unit, those same five people living separately, that is five housing units, same population, five times the housing demand. And this is why population statistics alone are almost useless for real estate investors, you need to know how people are living, not just how many there are. The biggest surge in housing demand happens when people leave their parents' homes or when they finish school or when they start working, or you got big surges in housing demand when people marry or when they separate or divorce. So in other words, adults create housing demand and children don't. And this is why a country with a youngish, working age population, oh, then they can have exploding housing demand. A country with high birth rates, but low household formation can have overcrowding without profitable housing growth. So it's not about babies, it's about independent adults, and what quietly boosts housing demand, then is housing fragmentation. Yeah, fragmentation. That's a trend that really doesn't get enough attention, and that is the trend, households are fragmenting, meaning more single adults later marriage, like I was talking about in a previous episode. Recently, higher divorce rates, more people living alone and older adults living independently, longer. Each one of those trends increases housing demand without adding any population whatsoever. When two people split up, they often need two housing units instead of one, and if you've got one adult living alone, that is full unit demand right there. So that's why housing demand can rise even when population growth slows or stalls for housing demand. What matters more than births is migration. And another key distinction is that, yes, births matter, but they're on somewhat of this 20 year delay and migration matters immediately, right now. So see, when a working age adult moves, they need housing right away. They typically rent first. They cluster near jobs, and they don't bring housing supply along with them. They've got to get it from someone else. Hopefully you in your rental unit.    Keith Weinhold  12:57   This is why migration is such a powerful force in rental markets, and you see me talk about migration on the show, and you see me send you migration maps in our newsletter. It's also why housing pressure shows up unevenly. It gets concentrated around opportunity. If you want to know the future, look at renters. Renters are the leading indicator, not homeowners and not birth rates. See renters create housing demand faster than homeowners, because renters form households earlier. They can do it quickly because they don't need down payments. Renters move more frequently and immigration overwhelmingly starts in rentals, fresh immigrants rarely become homeowners, so even when mortgage rates rise or home purchases slow or affordability headlines get scary, rental demand can stay strong. It's not a mystery, it's demographics. So births surely matter, but only over the long term. It's like how I've shared with you in a previous episode that the US had a lot of births between 1990 and 2010 those two decades, a surge of births more than 4 million every single one of those years during those two decades, with that peak birth year at 2007 but see a bunch of babies being born in 2007 Well, that didn't make housing demand surge, since infants don't buy homes. But if you add, say, 20 years to 2007 when those people start renting, oh, well, that rental demand peaks in 2027 or maybe a little after that, and since the first time, homebuyer age is now 40. If that stays constant, well, then native born homebuyer demand won't peak until 2047 so when it comes to housing demand, the important thing to remember is migration has an immediate effect and births have a delayed effect.    Keith Weinhold  15:02   and I'm going to talk more about other nations shortly, but the US has two major migration forces working simultaneously, domestic and international migration. I mean, Americans move a lot, although not as much as they used to, and people move for jobs, for taxes, for weather, for cost of living and for lifestyle. So this creates state level winners and losers, and Metro level housing pressure and rent growth in those destination markets and national population averages totally hide this. So that's domestic migration. And then on the international migration. The US has a long history, hundreds of years now on, just continually attracting working age adults from around the world. This matters immensely, because they arrive ready to work, and they form households quickly. They overwhelmingly rent first. They concentrate in metros, and this props up rental demand before it ever shows up in home prices. And this is why investors often feel the rent pressure first those rising rents.    Keith Weinhold  16:17   I've got more straight ahead, including Nigeria versus Europe, and what about the overpopulation straining the environment?

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold, and this is episode 590 yes, we're in my Geography wheelhouse today, as I'm talking human geography and demographics with how it relates to housing, while answering our central question today is the world and the US overpopulated or underpopulated? And now that we understand some mechanics here, let's go global. Here's one of the most mind bending stats in all of demographics. Are you ready for this? When you hear this, it's going to have you hitting up chat, GPT, looking it up. It's going to be so astonishing. So jaw dropping. Every year, Nigeria has more births than all of Europe plus all of Russia combined. Would you talk about Willis?   Keith Weinhold  20:47   Yeah, yes, you heard that, right? Willis, that's what I'm talking about. Willis. The source of that data is, in fact, from the United Nations. Yes, Nigeria has seven and a half million births every year. Compare that to all of Europe plus Russia combined, they only have about 6.3 million births per year. So you're telling me that today, just one West African nation, and there are 54 nations in Africa. Just one West African nation produces more babies than the entire continent of Europe, with all of its nations plus all of Russia, the largest world nation by area. Yes, that is correct. One country in Africa produces more babies every year than France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, all of Europe, including all the Eastern European nations, and all of Russia combined. This is a demographic reality, and now you probably already know that less developed nations, like Nigeria have higher birth rates than wealthier, more developed ones like France or Switzerland. I mean, that's almost common knowledge, but something that people think about less is that poorer nations also have a larger household size, which sort of makes sense when you think about it. In fact, Nigeria has five persons per household. Spain has two and a half, and the US also has that same level two and a half. That one difference alone explains why population growth and housing demand are completely different stories now, the US had 3.3 people per household in 1950 and it's down to that two and a half today. That means that even if the population stayed the same, the housing demand would rise. And this is evidence of what I talked about before the break, that households are fragmenting within the US. You can probably guess which state has the largest household size due to their Mormon population. It's Utah at 3.1 the smallest is Maine at 2.3 they have an older population. In fact, Maine has America's oldest population. And as you can infer with what you've learned now, the fact that they have just 2.3 people per household means that if their populations were the same. Maine would need more housing units than Utah. By the way, if you're listening closely at times, I have referred to the United States as simply America. Yes, I am American. You are going to run into some people out there that don't like it. When US residents call themselves Americans, they say something like, Hey, you need a geography lesson. America runs from Nunavut all the way down to Argentina. Here's what to tell them. No, look, there are about 200 world nations. There is only one that has the word America in it, that is the United States of America that usually makes them lighten up. That is why I am an American, not a Peruvian or Bolivian, and there's no xenophobic connotation whatsoever. There are more productive things to think about moving on. Why births matter is because births today become future workers, renters, consumers and even migrants. But not evenly. Young populations move toward a few things. They're attracted to capital. They move towards stability. They're attracted to opportunity, and young populations move toward infrastructure. That's not ideology, that's the gravity and the US remains one of the strongest gravity wells on Earth, a big magnet, a big attractant. Now it's sort of interesting. I know a few a People that believe that the world is indeed overpopulated, they often tend to be environmental enthusiasts, and the environment is a concern, for sure, but how big of a concern is it? That's the debatable part. And you know, it's funny, I've run into the same people that think that the world is overpopulated, they seem to lament at school closures. You see more school closures because just there weren't as many children that were born after the global financial crisis. And these people that are afraid we have an overpopulation problem call school closures a sad phenomenon. They think it's sad. Well, if you want a shrinking population, then you're going to see a lot more than just schools close so many with environmental concerns, though. The thing is, is that they seem to discount the fact that humans innovate. More than 200 years ago, Thomas Malthus, he famously failed. He wrote a book, thinking that the global population would exceed what he called his carrying capacity, meaning that we wouldn't be able to feed everybody. He posited that, look, this is a problem. Populations grow exponentially, but food production only grows linearly. But he was wrong, because, due to agricultural innovation, we have got too many calories in most places. Few people thought this many humans could live in the United States, Sonoran and Mojave deserts, that's Phoenix in Las Vegas, respectively. But our ability to recycle and purify water allows millions of people to live there. So my point about running out of resources is that history shows us that humans are a resource ourselves, and we keep finding ways to innovate, or keep finding ways to actually not need that rare earth element or whatever it is now, if the earth warms too much from human related activity, can we cool it off again? And how much of a problem is this? I am not sure, and that goes beyond the scope of our show. But the broader point here is that history shows us that humans keep figuring things out, and that is somewhat of an answer to those questions. The world is not overpopulated, it is unevenly populated. Some regions are young, others are growing, others are capital constrained, and then other regions are aging, shrinking and capital rich. And that very imbalance right there is what fuels migration and fuels labor flows and fuels housing demand in destination countries and the US benefits from this imbalance. Unlike almost anywhere else in the world, it's a demographic magnet. Yes, you do have some smaller ones out there, like Dubai, for example.    Keith Weinhold  28:04   But why? Why do we keep attracting immigrants? Well, we've got strong labor markets, capital availability, property rights, economic mobility, and US has existing housing stock. Countries today don't just compete for capital, they're competing for people. In the US keeps attracting working age adults, and that is exactly the demographic that creates housing demand, and this is why long term housing demand in the US is more resilient than a lot of people think. In fact, the US population of about 350 million. This year, it's projected to peak at about 370 million, near 2080 and of course, the big factor that makes that pivot is that level of immigration. So that's why the population projections vary now. The last presidential administration allowed for a lot of immigrants. The current one few immigrants, and the next one, nobody knows. You've got a group called the falconist party that calls for increased legal immigration into the US. Yeah, they want to allow more migrants into the country, but yet they want to enforce illegal immigration. That sounds just like it's spelled, F, A, L, C, O, N, i, s, t, the falconist Party, but the us's magnetic effect to keep driving population growth through immigration is key, because you might already know that 2.1 is the magic number you need a fertility rate of at least 2.1 to maintain a population fertility rate that is the average number of children that a woman is expected to have over her lifetime. And be sure you don't confuse these numbers with the earlier numbers of people per. Per household, like I discussed earlier, although higher fertility rates are usually going to lead to more people per household, India's fertility rate is already down to 2.0 Yes, it is the most populated nation in the world, but since women, on average, only have two children, India is already below replacement fertility. The US and Australia are each at 1.6 Japan is just 1.2 China's is down to 1.0 South Korea's is at an incredibly low seven tenths of one, so 0.7 in South Korea, and then Nigeria's is still more than four. So among all those that I mentioned, only Nigeria is above the replacement rate of 2.1 and most of the nations above that rate are in Africa. Israel is a big outlier at 2.9 you've got others in the Middle East and South Asia that are above replacement rate as well. And when I say things like it's still up there, that whole still thing refers to the fact that there is this tendency worldwide for society to urbanize and have fewer children. For those fertility rates to keep falling. And that's why the future population growth is about which nations attract immigrants, and that is the US. Is huge advantage. Now there's a great way to look at where future births are going to come from. A way to do this is consider your chance of being born on each continent in the year 2100 This is interesting. In the year 2100 a person has a 48% chance of being born in Africa, 38% in South Asia, in the Middle East, 5% South America, 5% in Europe or Russia, 4% in North America, and less than 1% in Australia. Those are the chances of you being born on each of those continents in the year 2100 and that sourced by the UN.   Keith Weinhold  32:09   the world population is, as I said earlier, about 8.2 billion, and it's actually expected to peak around the same time that the US population is in the 2080s and that'll be near 10 point 3 billion. All right, so both the world and the US population should rise for another 50 to 60 years. Let's talk about population winners and losers inside the US. I mean, this is where population conversations really become useful for investors, because population doesn't matter nationally that much. It really matters locally, unevenly and sometimes it almost feels unfairly. So let me give you some perspective shifting stats. I think I shared with you when I discussed new New York City Mayor Zoran Manami here on the show a month or two ago, that the New York City Metro Area has over 20 million people, nearly double the combined population of Arizona and Nevada together, yes, just one metro area, the same as Two entire sparsely populated states. So when someone says people are leaving New York I mean that tells you almost nothing, unless you know where they're going. How many are still arriving in New York City to replace those leaving, and how many households are still forming inside that Metro? The household formation so scale matters, however, net, people are not leaving New York. New York City recently had more in migration than any other US Metro. Some states are practically empty. Alaska or take Wyoming. Wyoming has fewer than 600,000 people in the entire state. That's fewer people than a lot of single US cities. That's only about six people per square mile. In Wyoming, that's about the population of one midsize Metro suburb. Now, when someone says the US has plenty of land in a lot of cases, they're right. I mean, just look out the window when you fly over Wyoming or the Dakotas. But people don't really live where land is cheap. They actually don't want to. Most of the time. They live where jobs, incomes and their networks already exist. You know, the wealthy guy that retires to Wyoming and it has a 200 acre ranch is an outlier. There's a reason he can sprawl out and make it 200 acres. There's virtually nobody there. Let's understand too that population loss, that doesn't mean that demand is gone, but it does change the rules, especially when you think about a place like West Virginia. They have lost population in most decades since the 1950s and incredibly, their population is lower today than it was in 1930 we're talking about West Virginia statewide. They have an aging population. West Virginia has an outmigration of young adults. So this doesn't mean that no real estate works in West Virginia, but it means that appreciation stories are fragile. Income matters more than equity. Growth and demographics are a headwind, not a tailwind. That's a very different investment posture than where you usually want to be. It's important to understand that a handful of metros, just a handful, are absorbing massive national growth. And here's something that a lot of investors underestimate. About half of all US, population growth flows into fewer than 15 metro areas, and it's not just New York City, Houston, Miami, but smaller places like Jacksonville, Austin and Raleigh, and that really helps pump their real estate market. So that means demand concentrates, housing pressure intensifies, and rent growth becomes pretty sticky, unless you wildly overbuild for a short period of time like Austin did, and this is why some metros just feel perpetually tight over the long term, and others feel permanently sluggish. Population does not spread evenly. It piles up. In fact, Texas is a great case in point here. Understand that Texas is adding people faster than some entire nations do. Texas alone adds hundreds of 1000s of residents per year in strong cycles. Some years, they do add more people than entire small countries, more than several Midwest states combined. And of course, they don't spread evenly across Texas. They cluster in DFW, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, so pretty much the Texas triangle, and that clustering fact is everything for housing demand, yet at the same time, there are fully 75 Texas counties that are losing population, typically out in West Texas. Then there's Florida. Florida isn't just growing. It's replacing people. Florida's growth. It's not just net positive, it's replacement migration, and it's across all different types and ages. You've got retirees arriving, you've got young workers arriving, you've got young households forming, and you've got seniors aging in place. So this way, among a whole spectrum of ages, you've got demand for rentals, workforce housing, age specific, housing and multifamily all in Florida, and this is why Florida housing demand over the long term is not going to cool off the way that a few skeptics expect. Now, of course, some areas did temporarily overbuild in Florida in the years following the pandemic. Yes, that's led to some temporary Florida home price attrition, but that is going to be absorbed. California did not empty out. It reshuffled now. There were some recent years where California lost net population, but here's what that hides. Some metros lost residents. Others stayed flat. You had some income brackets that left California and others arrived. In fact, California has slight population growth today overall, so housing demand definitely did not vanish. It shifted within the state and then outward to nearby states, and that's how Arizona, Nevada and Texas benefited. But overall, California's population count, really, it's just pretty steady, not declining.   Keith Weinhold  39:05   population density. It's that density that predicts rent pressure better than growth rates. Do something really important for real estate investors. Dense metros absorb shocks better. They have less elastic housing supply, and they see faster rent rebounds. Sparse areas have cheaper land and easier supply expansion and weaker rent resilience. So that's why rents snap back faster in dense metros, and oversupply hurts more in spread out to regions. Density matters more than raw growth does. Shrinking states can still have tight housing I mean, some states lose population overall, but yet they still have housing shortages in certain metros, and you'll have tight rental markets near job centers, and you've got strong demand In limited sub markets, even if the state is shrinking. And I think you know this is why the slower growing Northeast and Midwest, they've had the highest home price appreciation in the past two years. There's not enough building there. If your population falls 1% but the available housing falls 2% well, you can totally get into a housing shortage situation, and that bids up real estate prices. And when people look at population charts on the state level, a lot of times, they still get misled. When you buy an investment property, you don't buy a state, you buy a specific market within it, so the United States is not full it is lopsided. The US is not overpopulated. It is heavily clustered. It's unevenly dense, and it's really driven by migration. And perhaps a better way to say it is that the US population is really opportunity concentrated housing demand follows jobs, networks, wages and migration flows. It sure does not follow empty land. And really the investor takeaway is, is that when you hear population stats, don't put too much weight on the question, is the population rising or falling? Although that's something you certainly want to know. Some better questions to ask are, where are households forming? Where are adults moving? Where is supply constrained? And where does income support, rent like those are, what four big questions there, because population alone does not create housing demand. It's households under constraint that do so. Our big arching overall question is the world overpopulated or underpopulated? The answer is neither. The world is unevenly populated. It's unevenly aged, and it's unevenly governed. And for real estate investors, the lesson is simple. You don't invest in population counts, you invest in household formation, age structure, migration and supply constraints. Really, that's a big learning summary for you, that's why housing demand can stay strong even when population growth slows. And once you understand that demographic headlines that seem scary aren't as scary, and they start to be more useful. Why I've wanted to do this overpopulated versus underpopulated episode for you for years. I've really thought about it for years. I really hope that you got something useful out of it. Let's be mindful of the context too. When it comes to the classic Adam Smith economics of supply demand, I've only discussed one side today, largely just the demand side and not the supply side so much that would involve a discussion about building and some more things that supply side. Now that I've helped you ask a better question about population and the future of housing demand, you might wonder where you can get better answers. Well, like I mentioned earlier, I provide a lot of that and help you make sense of it, both right here on this show and with my newsletter, geography is something that's more conducive and meaningful to you visually, that's often done with a map, and that's why my letter at greletter.com will help you more if you enjoy learning through maps, just like we've done every year since 2014 I've got 52 great episodes coming to you this year.

The silhouettes of giant saguaros against a glowing desert sky are the kind of view that stops you in your tracks. If you want one park that delivers pure golden hour magic, spicy Tucson flavor, and a choose-your-own-adventure split right down the middle, Saguaro National Park is it. In this episode, we cover: Why Saguaro is basically two parks in one, with a whole city in between, and how that changes your planning. The best time of year to visit, plus why sunrise and sunset matter here more than almost anywhere else. Our go-to stops on West Saguaro, including our favorite campground, a tiny trail we do every time, and quick hikes with big payoff. Our go-to stops on East Saguaro, where the saguaros get huge, the loop drive is paved, and bikers are everywhere. The Tucson extras that make the trip even better, including Sonoran hot dogs, two museums we love, and one oddly specific RV tip. Your task for today: Pick your side! Are you a West Saguaro person who wants more solitude, or an East Saguaro person who wants the biggest, oldest saguaros you can find?

George Ogilvie, President and CEO of Arizona Sonoran Copper (TSX:ASCU – OTCQX:ASCUF), joins us to outline the key metrics from the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the Cactus Project in Arizona and the envisioned mine plan.  We also get an exploration update, more clarity around the permitting process, discuss the recent capital raise, and review the pathway to production.   PFS Highlights include: Simple open pit / SXEW operation producing approximately 103,000 tonnes (226 million lbs) of estimated average annual copper cathodes over the first 10 years of mining, which would make Cactus the third largest cathode producer in the USA  Industry-leading capital intensity of $10,894 per tonne of copper cathodes produced $574 million of average annual EBITDA1  Strong economics to support the continued development of Cactus with a focus on simplicity and executability of the open pit copper cathode project, on private land in Arizona Cactus Project is well positioned over the 22-year Project Life of Mine (“LoM”) to generate value at a variety of copper prices: Conventional, Cost-effective Mining and Processing: Open-pit, Heap Leach and SXEW Operation with Oxide and Enriched Materials from Cactus and Parks/Salyer open pits over 22 years of processing Cash costs (C1) of $1.34/lb, All in Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) of $1.62/lb and All in Costs (“AIC”)1 of $2.01/lb Initial mineral reserves of 513 million tons at a grade of 0.52% Total Copper in the Proven and Probable category for 5.3 billion pounds of contained copper 65% conversion of leachable M&I mineral resources to mineral reserves, with increased grades reporting to the heap leach pads Significant benefits to the local community and economy of Arizona, including projected creation of an estimated 600+ direct jobs Future mine expansion opportunities outside of the current mineable copper reserves, including late mine life primary sulphides, Cactus East and other exploration targets Final investment decision as early as Q4 2026 with targeted first cathodes in 2029   George reviews how the incorporation of the newer MainSpring area into the larger Parks-Salyer deposit, over the last 2 years has allowed for a shift in strategy 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, the infill drilling showed it expanding towards that direction, which presented better economics and a faster payback period, as outlined in the PFS.   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 permitting process will time out well with the release of their Bankable Feasibility Study.     Next we discussed the news on December 2nd, which announced that the Company closed its previously announced private placement of common shares of the Company pursuant to which the Company issued, on a “bought deal” basis, 25,746,300 Common Shares, including 3,358,200 Common Shares granted to the underwriters, at a price of $3.35 per Common Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of C$86,250,105.  This gives the company the runway to execute on all coming workstreams heading into the 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.   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.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Arizona Sonoran Copper's George Ogilvie spoke with MSD last week at the Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit. He emphasizes the two important catalysts approaching for the Cactus Project in Arizona. First, the company's updated mineral resource estimate (recently published) and then the Preliminary Feasibility Study to follow.

Arizona Sonoran Copper released its updated mineral resource estimate for the Cactus brownfield copper project in Arizona. Highlander Silver reported assay results from the second series of holes designed to test the expanding Bonita vein system, which include some of the highest gold grades encountered to date. Eloro Resources shared new assay results from 5 holes of its second phase definition diamond drilling program.

Even with nationwide shipping, you should still experience Pink's Hot Dogs at the source (in the heart of HOLLYWOOD). There are eight locations, but for the OG, go to the first location at North La Brea and Melrose, where Paul and Betty Pink debuted their hot dog cart in 1939. Just look for the pink building.Many of the 17 different dogs are inspired by regions through the U.S. (like a New York dog, topped with sweet and saucy onions; or a Chicago Polish dog, featuring mustard, relish, onions, tomatoes and lettuce) as well as Guadalajara, Mexico (folded in bacon, Sonoran-style) and also odes to celebs like Rosie O'Donnell, Shaq, and Carl Reiner. On the Shaq dog, four onion rings symbolize Shaquille O'Neal's four NBA championships.OVER 40 DOGS TO TRY. OUR FAVORITE DOG IN THE NATION - HANDS DOWN!WWW.PINKSHOLLYWOOD.COM

Kansas City's taco scene has it all: out-of-this-world al pastor, tender tripa and even veggie delights, all wrapped in corn tortillas or flour. Here's where to find the tastiest street tacos, Sonoran-style tacos and more across the metro.

Glenn Hickman is the president of Hickman's Family Farms, one of the largest egg producers in the southwestern US. You'd think that their location in the middle of the Sonoran desert, well outside the range of migratory birds, would keep them safe from outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). But that was unfortunately not the case. After taking root in a nearby dairy farm, HPAI spilled over into Glenn's facility. 80 years of continuous operation came to a screeching halt, and the Hickmans were forced to sacrifice 95% of their flock — nearly 6 million birds. Glenn takes us inside his operation as he attempts to repopulate, and shares his perspective on what the industry needs to do to prevent this from happening over and over again.  

This is a special edition when The Bureau meets Jason Woodbury of Aquarium Drunkard for a joint transmission.     Los Angeles-based online music magazine Aquarium Drunkard is a one-of-a-kind map to the sprawling and often overwhelming landscape of independent music.  Founded in 2005 and piloted for over twenty years by Justin Gage, it has served as a curator, a passionate advocate, and a community for those seeking sounds beyond the mainstream. The Aquarium Drunkard podcast - Transmissions - hosted by Jason Woodbury, has become a massive resource for deep dives into music and culture via conversations and with an amazing range of musicians and cultural figures including Jeff Bridges, Jim Jarmusch, John Lurie, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Devendra Banhart, Lee Ranaldo, Bonnie "Prince" Billy,  Shirley Collins, Gina Birch of the Raincoats and many, many more. Jason and I decided to make a joint transmission to talk about Aquarium Drunkard and Bureau of Lost Culture, and why we do it.   As well as writing for AQ, Jason writes for Pitchfork and Stereogum, is the creative director of WASTOIDS audio network, makes radiophonic sound collage, and he is a musician himself, so, of course, one of the first questions I ask him his how he gets it all done - especially as he has two dogs at his home in the Sonoran desert.     There is a bit of mutual back scratching, but we soon get onto the much more important topics of: the best time for creative work, not eating in your twenties, smoking, dreaming, the collective unconscious, David Lynch who really owns The Beatles song Yesterday, AI, consciousness, the most emotional moments from shows, the power of conversation and storytelling, who we'd really like to interview and what's next..          

George Ogilvie from Arizona Sonoran Copper discusses the progress of the Cactus Project, including the pre-feasibility study (PFS) work and the company's strategy for re-purchasing royalties held on the project. He highlights the importance of these financial maneuvers in enhancing shareholder value and the overall project economics. The discussion also touches on market positioning, financing strategies, and the impact of neighboring projects in the mining sector.

“Listening to all words--the silent words of nature, the words of friends and enemies, and the words of scripture--can become an exercise in human yearning and divine response, flowing in and out of one's life like a river current.” ― Kathleen Norris, Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith I returned from sabbatical and jumped right back into worship leadership and preaching with Palm Sunday and Holy Week. Our liturgical focus was closely tied to those powerful Gospel stories. So I haven't had the opportunity to share much from the pulpit about my sabbatical. Our Scripture reading this week is from Galatians. Paul is reflecting on how he came to be a believer in Christ. And he writes about what our faith calls us toward. Sometimes the Apostle Paul's writings can seem like a stark binary of in/out, belief/doubt, etc. More often, life is experienced in between, amidst the reflection and uncertainty. This Sunday, I hope to share with you a few reflections from my experiences on sabbatical. From the Sonoran desert in Arizona, to the cliffside overlooking the ocean in Big Sur, and many other places in between, I experienced God's faithfulness during my sabbatical. I look forward to sharing some of those God moments with you this week!

This week on the HappyCast, we have part two of Andrew's Arizona Monster 300 course and race recap. After surviving the night on Mt. Lemmon, Andrew make's his way through Tucson to pound some pavement before heading further south into the Sonoran desert. But don't worry, plenty of issues arise as always, as Andrew's fear-based running kicks into overdrive at times up until the finish.And after crawling to the finish line, Andrew discusses his overall experience with the race, and we do a brief Q&A regarding everything as well. We hope this two-part series provided enough content to help out future runners of the Arizona Monster 300. And maybe it will convince those on the fence as well to run it in the future. So strap in and let's trek into the heart of the Sonoran as Andrew makes his way to the finish line. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

We're back! After a few weeks off, the crew returns, and they take on the Monster in the process. This is the first part of three episodes dedicated to the Arizona Monster 300. The first two parts are a very detailed course overview and recap with Andrew, and the third will be an interview with another runner who ran the race MUCH quicker. So we hope we have the back and front of the pack covered with this one! For part one, co-host Andrew talks all things Arizona Monster 300 - the newest and biggest trail race around. This was the inaugural year of the event, so the stoke level for all involved was high. This is a 300 mile trail race that traverses the Sonoran desert in Arizona, heading south from Superior, through Tucson, and down near the border in Patagonia. The course mainly takes place on the rugged and completely exposed Arizona Trail, and goes over the incredibly steep and rugged Catalina mountains, including Mt. Lemmon, before dancing in the shadows of Mt. Wrightson near the finish.In this episode, Andrew provides a very detailed course overview, as well as his own personal experience. This episode covers the first half of the race, from the start in Superior all the way to the incredibly difficult Mt. Lemmon - a section that Andrew says was the most difficult he has done yet in a 200+ mile race. Andrew goes over the logistics, the course difficulty, and yes, some of the issues and concerns that others have been asking about. We hope this episode offers some insight for those interested in doing the race in the future. It is an incredible event and an opportunity that many shouldn't pass up if they're looking for their distance PR. So strap in and enjoy our trek through the desert for the next few episodes as we talk all things Arizona Monster 300!Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, we sit down with Arthur Vint, drummer, visionary, and the creative force behind the Century Room, Tucson's very own slice of New York's jazz scene. Nestled inside Hotel Congress with its own discreet entrance off Congress & 5th, the Century Room blends NYC basement-club charm with a warm Sonoran welcome. Arthur shares how his years performing and working at the iconic Village Vanguard inspired the design, sound, and soul of this Downtown gem.

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.

Before burritos became as commonplace on menus as sandwiches, Chi-Chi's was selling the Mexican staple as something called a burro, a novelty to the consumer mainstream those many decades ago. The option shared space on the bill of fare with a chili pie, an item that's hardly a must-have today for Mexican chains. If a Chi-Chi's customer wanted something more familiar nearly 50 years ago, they could always go for the french fries, maybe washing them down with a margarita, available at the time in a lunchtime-sized serving.Those menu listings seem like an anachronism today, when many consumers can cite the differences between Sonoran and Oaxacan cuisine. The public's knowledge of Mexican fare, and its appreciation of quality executions, have come a long way since Chi-Chi's introduced many Americans to South of the Border fare in the 1980s and ‘90s. This week's episode of Restaurant Rewind looks at how far consumers' familiarity with Mexican food has come and why that education poses a challenge for Chi-Chi's in its attempt at a rebirth. Can it catch up with popular tastes and find favor with fans of Chipotle or Taco Bell? Give a listen to decide for yourself.

Drive about 45 minutes southwest of the Phoenix Valley, and you will reach an expanse of the Sonoran desert with a long, rich history. The Gila River runs through this area, which was once lush with flora and fauna. Now, with the river dammed up, the water doesn't always flow. Nonetheless, the region is still home to an abundance of people, wildlife and historical treasures. These three aspects are what locals, archaeologists, and biologists hope to preserve as a national monument. The Great Bend of the Gila, as the monument would be named, is a network of braided rivulets. These streams join into the Gila River, which cuts through prehistoric lava fields and flows past nearby mountain ranges before joining the Colorado River near the Sea of Cortez. Respect Great Bend of the Gila is the campaign pushing President Joe Biden to sign this area into national monument status. The campaign includes local tribes, wildlife biologists and archeologists. The proposed monument boundaries are about 70 miles of the Gila River corridor and approximately 370,000 acres of public land. In this episode of Valley 101, we hear from representatives of each of these groups. They share the history, discoveries and importance of the Gila River region to Arizonans and the nation.

Arizona Sonoran Copper has published a new preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for its Cactus project, which has received positive feedback from the market. The inclusion of the MainSpring property in the mine plan has improved the economics of the project, with an NPV(8) after-tax of over $2 billion and an IRR after-tax of 24%. The project is expected to have a 31-year operating life and produce an average of 86,000 short tons of cathode production per annum. Arizona Sonoran Copper is outperforming its peers in terms of key performance indicators, despite having a lower market cap.

Dr. John Milton Bigelow did not shy away from hard work, challenges, or adventure. At the age of 46, he signed on as surgeon and botanist for the Mexican Boundary Survey, following the U.S.-Mexican War that fulfilled the gold-hungry manifest destiny of the Americans.  This adventure took him through the Chihuahuan, Sonoran and Colorado deserts, where he catalogued the great variety of desert plants along with several other botanists on the expedition — including C.C. Parry, namesake of Parry's Nolina. The work was so pleasing to Bigelow that he readily accepted similar appointments as field botanist in some of America's wildest lands.

He spent his first 17 years in the MDF on the red planet, then he was offered a commission and the opportunity to attend flight school, which he eagerly accepted. He then spent three years aboard the EDFss Nautilus with the prime mission of patrolling the solar system. He then spent two years stationed on the off world of Sonora, assisting the Sonoran's with an invading hostile neighbor, for which his accomplishments earned him the promotion to Major. He was then stationed aboard the EDFss Farragut. Later in his career he was given a field promotion to full Colonel to finish the mission and lead his team to success. After his 30-year tour of duty, he returned to civilian life for the next big challenge of mastering his own brain through a dedicated practice of meditation to break through the memory repression process. Over time, creating a tested protocol to assist others in the process of memory retrieval. After achieving total recall his brigadier general reached out to him to ask him to take on the challenge of being the new USMCss public relations officer, which he accepted with some reservations. Over time, it became abundantly clear that teaching civilians psionic self-mastery via the same methods taught to USMCss psionic specialists, the USMCss Psionics Manual. Teaching in person classes for many years before finally launching online courses.
