Doc Jones, private activist resource investor and influencer on Ceo.ca and X/Twitter, joins us for his outlook on the precious metals, critical minerals, and energy sector and the related resource stocks he is heavily positioned in his portfolio, that have had significant newsflow in the recent past towards development of their projects.   We start off getting the key macroeconomic factors that have him bullish on both gold and silver, and why he believes their pricing moves to the upside over this year can be maintained and continue to reach higher levels.   We review the newsflow and recent milestones from Omai Gold Mines (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), and the anticipated value drivers for 2025 in this gold exploration and development company operating in Guyana. He focuses in on drilling at both Wenot and Gilt Creek, and the updated resource estimate and combined economic study as coming catalysts. With regards to silver and gold exposure, he has gotten positioned in Excellon Resources Inc. (TSXV: EXN) (OTC: EXNRF) due to their recent acquisition of the past producing Mallay Silver Mine in Peru, to move it back into production. The Company is also advancing a portfolio of gold, silver and base metals assets including the Kilgore Project, an advanced gold exploration project in Idaho that has compelling economics at today's PM prices.   Shifting over to critical minerals, Doc Jones highlights his long-standing interest and key portfolio position in Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF), which has now moved into copper production, with solid nickel and PGM co-credits at their McCreedy West Mine in Sudbury, Ontario.  Another key portfolio position in the critical minerals with copper, zinc, gold, and silver is Emerita Resources (TSX.V: EMO) (OTCQB: EMOTF).  The company has had continued encouraging polymetallic metallurgical results and successful exploration expanding in mineralization in multiple areas at their flagship IBW Project. He also outlined that the pending legal proceedings on the Aznalcollar zinc-lead-silver Project as another potential value driver.   Wrapping up we shifted over to traditional energy getting his outlook on both oil and natural gas, but why he is favoring investing in Canadian nat gas companies like Peyto Exploration & Development Corp. (TSX: PEY) and Birchcliff Energy Ltd. (TSX: BIR) due to the uptick in underlying natural gas prices he is anticipating in the year to come.   He goes on to highlight the benefits of picking up energy stocks that pay investors good dividends while they are waiting for higher eventual equity prices.     *In full disclosure, Doc Jones holds a position in these companies discussed at the time of this recording, but is not compensated by any company to market them.  These are simply his views and opinions as to why he likes investing in them, but this is not investment advice.      Click here to follow Doc Jones on Ceo.ca   Click here to follow Doc Jones on X/Twitter

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins me for a review of Q1 financials and operations update at the producing McCreedy West copper mine in Sudbury, Canada.  We also review the ongoing exploration and development work at the Levack Mine, working towards and updated resource estimate in Q3 and mine restart plan by year-end.  There are currently 4 drill rigs turning between the 2 properties.   We kick off the conversation with a review of Q1 2025 financials and how production and development has been going over the last few months at their McCreedy West Copper Mine, since the company took over the operations from KGHM International on February 28, 2025. The quarter included 1 month of production from McCreedy West coming in at 790,000 lbs of copper equivalent payable in March; and with the total ore processed being 20,388 tonnes at an average grade of 3.01% copper equivalent.  The end of Q1 cash balance for the Company was $38.3 million.   Jason discusses the primary focus at McCreedy West for this year is really getting all the development work completed to be able to really ramp up production in a big way in 2026.  There will still be ore processed each quarter, but the operations teams wants to get enough stopes opened up through development for the balance of this year to have options in accessing mineralization from different parts of the mine.   We also reviewed how in addition to the high-grade copper area of the mine in the 700 Copper Zone, that there is the Intermain Nickel Zone and a Precious Metals Zone, with platinum, palladium, and gold that can be accessed down the road at the right metals prices and margins.   Next we transitioned over to all the exploration focus at the past-producing Levack mine and Jason outlines the Company strategy to keep aggressively drilling and delineating mineralization with a targeted Resource Estimate for Q3, while also continuing with engineering work to then put out a Mine Restart Plan by year end. This is all leading towards the pathway for bringing the Levack Mine back into production in 2026.   Additionally, the team is still advancing similar derisking and development work at their Crean Hill Project where, depending on financial market conditions, it could be on a dual track for production in late 2026 or early 2027.      If you have questions for Jason regarding Magna Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Magna Mining at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow along with the news at Magna Mining

Interview with Jason Jessup, CEO of Magna Mining Inc.Our previous interview: Recording date: 4th June 2025Magna Mining. presents a compelling investment opportunity as one of the few junior mining companies delivering immediate copper production with clear pathways to operational scaling. Following the February 2025 acquisition of the McCreedy West mine in Ontario's Sudbury basin, the company generated positive cash flow of $300,000 in its first operational month while producing 790,000 pounds of copper equivalent—results that exceeded management expectations during what was effectively a three-week transition period.The company's operational success validates its production-focused strategy in a market where most copper juniors remain years away from meaningful revenue generation. CEO Jason Jessup, who previously operated McCreedy West during peak production periods exceeding 2,500 tons daily, brings proven expertise to optimize operations. The company has already implemented operational improvements including expanded shift schedules and contractor-supported development work to increase production capacity and workplace access.Magna Mining's recent $33.5 million financing round, comprising $23.5 million in convertible debentures and $10 million equity secured, provides working capital for operational optimization and growth initiatives. The company plans to invest $5-10 million this year in capital development at McCreedy West, focusing on sustainable expansion rather than short-term cash maximization. This disciplined approach positions the company for long-term value creation while maintaining financial flexibility.The company's competitive advantage extends beyond current production to include four additional fully permitted past-producing mines with combined NI 43-101 resources exceeding 50 million tons of copper, nickel, and PGM mineralization. The adjacent Levack mine offers particular near-term growth potential with recent drilling revealing high-grade copper zones of 24% copper plus PGMs within 200 meters of surface in previously unmined areas. An internal restart study for Levack is expected in Q4 2025, with a new resource estimate anticipated by end of Q3 2025.Magna Mining's bootstrap growth model differentiates it from capital-intensive development projects requiring multi-billion dollar investments and multi-year construction timelines. The company can fund expansion through operating cash flow, minimizing shareholder dilution while maintaining control over development timing. This approach appeals to institutional investors seeking copper exposure without the execution risks associated with large-scale development projects.The Sudbury jurisdiction provides additional competitive advantages including stable regulatory framework, established infrastructure, and access to skilled labor from the region's 180,000-person population with extensive mining experience. Established customer relationships with Vale and Glencore ensure secure off-take arrangements and predictable revenue streams.Strong institutional backing supports the investment thesis, with over 50% institutional ownership including 21% held by Dundee Corp, whose leader Jonathan Goodman serves on Magna Mining's board. Management and board retain approximately 10% ownership, aligning interests with shareholders.As CEO Jessup noted, "No one has what we got like we have a producing mine in the best jurisdiction I would say in North America for copper and nickel mining and four other fully permitted past producing mines." This unique combination of immediate production, scalable growth opportunities, and reduced development risk positions Magna Mining as an attractive copper investment in a supply-constrained market where traditional development projects face increasing capital and execution challenges.With $38 million cash on hand and clear catalysts including quarterly production reports and the upcoming Levack study results, Magna Mining offers investors a de-risked pathway to copper sector exposure with multiple value creation opportunities.View Magna Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/magna-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Send us a textWhat would happen if we completely reimagined education? Dr. Peter Gray takes us on a provocative journey through the hidden history and troubling foundations of our modern school system.Gray's path to becoming an educational revolutionary began with his own son's rebellion. "School is prison," his fourth-grader declared, triggering a family crisis that led to a radical decision: enrolling him in Sudbury Valley School, where children direct their own learning without traditional classes, grades, or tests. Skeptical about whether this approach would prepare his son for "real life," Gray launched a research study of Sudbury graduates – and what he discovered transformed his understanding of education forever.The conversation reveals surprising historical truths about our educational model. Far from being merely an industrial-era creation, schools originated during the Protestant Reformation as instruments of religious indoctrination and obedience training. Children were physically punished for failing to memorize and recite lessons properly. While modern schools have abandoned corporal punishment, they maintain the same fundamental structure: rewarding compliance rather than fostering genuine curiosity or critical thinking.Most compelling is Gray's challenge to the "preparation" mindset in education – the notion that each grade prepares students for the next academic level rather than for life itself. Sudbury graduates prove this sequential preparation unnecessary; when motivated by genuine interest, children learn rapidly and efficiently without years of preparatory instruction. Many Sudbury alumni have entered elite colleges and successful careers despite never experiencing traditional schooling.Gray concludes with a powerful observation about what children truly need: time and freedom to explore, play, and discover themselves outside of constant adult direction. Today's children are increasingly "imprisoned around the clock" between rigid school environments and overprotective home settings, deprived of the independence necessary for healthy development. Perhaps true education isn't about curriculum at all – it's about creating space for children to become themselves.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF), joins us for an operations and development update at the producing McCreedy West copper mine, the current exploration strategy and pathway to future production at the Levack Mine, the larger vision and optionality multiple other prior-producing polymetallic mines and development projects located in Sudbury, Canada.   Jason kicks off the conversation with a review of how production and development has been going over the last 5 weeks at McCreedy West copper mine, since the company took over the operations.  The main focus over the next few months is going to be on grade-control, mining efficiencies, and adding a fourth work shift into the rotation.  The other are we highlight is some of the recent high-grade assays returned from drilling at McCreedy West, announced on March 31st, that focused on the 700 Footwall Cu-PGE zone resource expansion and definition in support of mid-term production planning, and targeted areas near historical mining.   Highlights from the new assay results McCreedy West Mine include:   FNX33323: 4.4% Cu, 0.6% Ni, 13.8 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 18.0 metres, including 8.2% Cu, 0.8% Ni, 7.5 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 7.3 metres FNX33338: 8.7% Cu, 0.3% Ni, 32.8 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 3.2 metres, and 3.7% Cu, 3.1% Ni, 2.8 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 17.5 metres FNX33361: 4.3% Cu, 5.0% Ni, 3.6 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 2.9 metres   Next we transitioned over to all the exploration focus at the past-producing Levack mine. Jason outlines the Company strategy to put out a Mine Restart Plan later this year, that will detail the development pathway for bringing the Levack Mine back into production in 2026.  We also reviewed the recent high-grade intercepts returned from drilling where hole FNX33323 returned 12.2 % Cu, 0.5% Ni, 2.8 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 3.4 metres, including 24.9% Cu, 0.4% Ni, 5.0 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 1.6 metres.   Wrapping up we discussed how the company is well cashed up after closing the $33.5 Million private placement on March 5th.   This gives them the flexibility to continue invest in further exploration and development of both McCreedy West and Levack, and optimize their production profile over the balance of this year and next year.   Jason also points out the optionality that they have if the cost of capital improves or if they can attract a strategic investment from government funds to speed up their timeline of development at the Crean Hill Project and Podolsky Mine as the next key assets in their portfolio.       If you have questions for Jason regarding Magna Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Magna Mining at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow along with the news at Magna Mining

Interview with Jason Jessup, CEO of Magna Mining Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/magna-mining-tsxvnicu-magna-bets-on-coppers-future-with-acquisition-of-kghms-sudbury-portfolio-6411Recording date: 3rd March 2025Magna Mining is a rising star in the Canadian mining sector, poised to capitalize on the surging demand for critical metals like nickel and copper. With a portfolio of high-quality assets in the world-renowned Sudbury Basin, Magna offers investors a compelling opportunity to gain exposure to the electrification megatrend.At the heart of Magna's story is the McCreedy West mine, a cornerstone asset already in production. With a history of mining since the late 1990s, McCreedy West boasts a substantial resource base of over 9 million tons. Magna is now ramping up operations, with plans to boost throughput to 400-500,000 tons per year. Even more exciting, Magna is targeting higher grades of 4-5% copper, a level rarely seen in global mining today. This combination of scale and grade is set to generate significant cashflows, giving Magna the firepower to fund aggressive growth.But McCreedy West is just the beginning. Magna's crown jewel is the past-producing Levack mine, a high-grade monster that previously yielded head grades of 8-10%+ copper. Magna is now aggressively exploring the Levack deposit, with drills already turning to expand the resource. The potential is immense – with historic production of over 60 million tons, Levack could be a true company-maker for Magna. Management is targeting a rapid restart by 2026, which could propel Magna into the ranks of the mid-tier producers.Magna has a pipeline of over five permitted projects in the Sudbury Basin, giving it incredible optionality and scale potential. From the advanced-stage Crean Hill project to the low-capex Shakespeare open pit, Magna controls a string of pearls in one of the world's most prolific mining camps. This creates the potential for Magna to evolve into a true district-scale producer over time, leveraging shared infrastructure and a centralized management team to drive industry-leading margins.Critical to Magna's success is the strength of its leadership. CEO Jason Jessup is a mining veteran with a proven track record of value creation, having played a key role in building FNX Mining into a Sudbury heavyweight. He leads a technical team with decades of experience in the basin, giving Magna a true home field advantage. This deep knowledge base is complemented by a bold vision for growth and the proven ability to attract capital. Magna's recent $30m raise highlights the confidence the market has in the company's prospects.With the tailwinds of electrification and decarbonization at its back, the company is perfectly positioned to ride the coming wave of demand for nickel and copper. As Jessup says, "This isn't about now we're a producer, we're done. This is about building into something that's significant." For investors looking to align themselves with that vision, Magna Mining presents a uniquely compelling opportunity. In a world hungry for critical metals, Magna is ready to deliver.View Magna Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/magna-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-historic-20m-first-nations-investment-6434Recording date: 2nd March 2025Canada Nickel Company has successfully completed Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for its flagship Crawford Nickel Project, advancing engineering to approximately 30% completion. Despite a 5% increase in capital costs, the project has demonstrated improvements in Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR).In a strategic optimization move, the company modified its mine plan to prioritize the East Zone over the Main Zone. This decision reduces stripping requirements and truck fleet needs, which helps offset capital cost increases. CEO Mark Selby highlighted the company's efficient development approach, noting they've progressed from "fifth drill hole to feasibility study in just over four years," significantly faster than industry averages of 7-10 years.On the financing front, Canada Nickel has secured letters of intent for $500 million USD from Export Development Canada and $500 million CAD from another financial institution. The next step involves an independent engineering review to validate the company's work. Notably, Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds are showing substantial interest in the project as they seek to diversify their economies beyond oil.Beyond Crawford, the company aims to establish the Timmins area as a premier nickel district. Plans include publishing resources for six additional properties, bringing their total to nine resources in the district. Selby claims the total nickel resource is expected to exceed "the total endowment at Sudbury, which was the world's largest nickel sulfide district."Community partnerships represent another significant advancement, with Canada Nickel announcing construction projects to be delivered by First Nations communities through a business vehicle called Wabun. This approach demonstrates local support and strengthens the company's social license as it progresses through permitting.The company remains on track with its permitting timeline, currently in the final approval stage with the federal government. Approvals are expected by year-end, with provincial permits to follow. Canada Nickel is also exploring non-equity financing options, including royalties, to minimize shareholder dilution.The Crawford project is positioned to become "the Western world's largest nickel sulfide operation" with the flexibility to serve both EV battery and stainless steel markets. This strategic positioning comes at a time when Western economies are actively seeking to reduce dependence on Chinese-dominated supply chains for critical minerals, potentially creating significant long-term value for the company and its investors.View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
