Thistle Resources Inc. CEO Patrick Cruikshank joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss new drill results from the company's Middle River Gold Project in New Brunswick's Bathurst Mining Camp.The company reported certified assay results from drill hole 21TRC-AU007, which returned 1.65 g/t gold over 20.71 metres, including a higher-grade interval of 3.36 g/t gold over 7.82 metres. The hole was drilled in the northeastern extension of the mineralized fold trend and reached a depth of 74 metres. Cruikshank said drilling completed to date has identified a continuous mineralized zone extending from surface to approximately 130 metres depth. Results from two drill programs have consistently returned broad, high-grade gold intersections, supporting both the grade and continuity of the deposit. The company also noted that geophysical work conducted by EarthEx Geoscience Solutions and Abitibi Geophysics has identified more than 50 high-priority drill target centres along the seven-kilometre mineralized trend, representing hundreds of potential drill locations. Required permits are already in place for future exploration. Thistle's long-term objective is to define more than 2 million ounces of gold across the Middle River trend. The planned 2026 drilling campaign will focus on expanding the known mineralized footprint while testing deeper high-chargeability targets identified through geophysical surveys. Management believes the combination of encouraging drill results, extensive exploration targets, and a large-scale mineralized system provides significant potential for future resource growth at Middle River. Beyond Middle River, Thistle is preparing to advance exploration at its Brunswick Antimony project, where upcoming drone surveys and trenching programs are planned to evaluate high-grade antimony mineralisation alongside gold and silver potential. #proactiveinvestors #thistleressources #tsxv #trcg #MiningIssuer #PublicMarkets #GoldExploration #MiddleRiver #GoldMining #MiningNews #NewBrunswickMining #ResourceExpansion #ExplorationDrilling #GoldStocks #MiningInvestment

 Interview with Gary Lohman, COO & VP Exploration, and Patrick J. Cruickshank, President & CEO of Thistle ResourcesRecording date: 20th May 2026Thistle Resources Inc., a recently listed explorer on the TSX Venture Exchange, is positioning itself at the crossroads of rising demand for gold and critical minerals through a diversified portfolio in Canada's Bathurst Mining Camp. The company controls five projects, with a strategic focus on three key assets: the Middle River Gold deposit, a large volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) target, and the high-grade Brunswick Antimony project. This multi-commodity approach reduces reliance on a single resource while offering multiple pathways for value creation.The flagship Middle River Gold project demonstrates strong scale potential. It hosts two distinct zones: a near-surface system extending to 130 meters depth with approximately 7 kilometers of mineralized folding—largely untested—and a deeper zone at 400 meters that exhibits one of the strongest geophysical conductive responses recorded in the region. Early drilling has confirmed consistent gold mineralization, while advanced surveys by two independent geophysical firms have significantly improved targeting confidence. The company is aiming to define a resource of up to 2 million ounces through systematic drilling.Equally compelling is the Brunswick Antimony project, որտեղ exceptionally high-grade mineralization occurs at surface, including antimony exceeding 10%, along with significant silver and gold values. Located near historic producing mines, the project benefits from existing infrastructure and growing geopolitical interest in securing non-Chinese sources of critical minerals. Antimony prices have surged in recent years, enhancing the project's economic potential even at modest scale.Operationally, Thistle benefits from a favorable jurisdiction with rapid permitting, strong infrastructure, and low drilling costs of roughly CAD 100 per meter. Fully funded for two years and equipped with active drill programs through 2026, the company is well positioned to advance its assets. With multiple catalysts ahead and exposure to both precious and critical minerals, Thistle represents a diversified exploration opportunity in a proven mining district.View Thistle Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/thistle-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com 

Thistle Resources Inc. CEO Patrick Cruikshank joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide additional details on the company's strategic focus on precious metals and critical minerals exploration within New Brunswick's historic Bathurst Mining Camp. The company is pursuing a multi-project exploration strategy with the objective of advancing five key assets, including Middle River Gold, Brunswick Antimony, Middle River VMS, Alba Forks Gold, and Celtic Highland Gold. Cruikshank highlighted the company's flagship projects, particularly the Middle River Gold and Brunswick Antimony properties, which are expected to play central roles in Thistle's long-term development plans. The Bathurst Mining Camp has long been recognized as one of Canada's most significant mining regions, known for hosting major mineral deposits and attracting exploration activity over several decades. Particular attention is being placed on the Brunswick Antimony Project, which sits adjacent to the world-famous Brunswick No. 12 Mine, historically one of the largest underground zinc mines globally and recognized as a major volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit. The proximity to this established mining district provides important geological context and could enhance exploration potential. Cruikshank explained that drilling and historical work at the property have identified encouraging antimony mineralization. Results indicate the presence of antimony associated with sediment-hosted structures and high-grade mineralized zones. Certified trench assay data returned values of up to 10.3% antimony, along with 1,300 g/t silver and 2.32 g/t gold. The company noted that multiple styles of mineralization have been identified, including disseminations, crystal formations, and mineralized veins associated with silver-rich systems. Looking ahead, the next phase of exploration is expected to involve the company's proprietary UAV drone magnetic survey technology. The initiative is designed to identify and confirm additional mineralized structures before expanding trenching and follow-up exploration work. Cruikshank noted that the required trenching and UAV permits have already been secured, with geophysical survey work expected to begin in the near term. Antimony continues to attract increasing attention globally as a strategically important critical mineral. It is currently recognized as one of Canada's 37 critical minerals and plays an important role across multiple industries, including military applications, batteries, semiconductors, and advanced energy storage technologies. Growing supply concerns and demand for secure domestic critical mineral sources continue to elevate interest in antimony-focused exploration projects. #proactiveinvestors #thistleressources #tsxv #trcg #MiningIssuer #PublicMarkets #MiningFinance #JuniorMining #Exploration #CriticalMinerals #PreciousMetals #NewBrunswickMining #NovaScotiaMining #BathurstCamp #CapeBreton #ResourceDevelopment #AtlanticCanada #Antimony #CriticalMinerals #Mining #GoldExploration #Silver #ResourceInvesting #MineralExploration #BatteryTechnology #CanadianMining

This is WLRN's 10th Anniversary Edition! Stay tuned for the greeting with Jocelyn Crawley, world news with Cat Bradfield, an interview with professor Gail Dines and concluding commentary from Jocelyn. The focus of this month's show is the Jeffrey Epstein case and how it is being handled within the porn-sick society we live in, featuring Gail Dines—expert, activist for women's and children's rights, and founding member of Culture Reframed. Gail recently published a review in Ms. Magazine of Virginia Roberts Giuffre's posthumous book, Nobody's Girl. https://msmagazine.com/author/gaildines/ She talks with Thistle a bit about this book and about how the porn industry has gotten its tentacles into all aspects of American society. She also, at the end of the interview, tells the story of an activist skit performed with Mary Daly at Harvard University in the 1980s. She muses that if women could do it then, we can do it again today and should in order to fortify our movement for the dignity and rights of girls and women.

Thistle Resources CEO Patrick Cruikshank joined Steve Darling from Proactive to celebrate the company's official listing on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker TRCG. This debut represents a transformative milestone for the company, serving as the culmination of years spent on strategic asset acquisition and preparation since its founding in 2017. Strategically positioned within some of Atlantic Canada's most fertile mineral belts, the company's portfolio is concentrated in the world-renowned Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick and highly prospective regions in Nova Scotia. Cruikshank described the listing as a "very, very special day," emphasizing that the company has built a dual-track portfolio focused on both precious metals and critical minerals. This diversification provides investors with unique exposure to both traditional gold value and the burgeoning green energy and technology supply chains. The discussion highlighted two primary assets of its five that are driving the company forward, including the Middle River Gold Deposit, which hosts a substantial seven-kilometre mineralized system. Backed by advanced geophysical data, Thistle is moving into an aggressive phase with drilling operations set to begin imminently. The second key asset is the Brunswick Antimony Project, which features high-grade antimony and silver mineralization and is perhaps the most unique asset in the portfolio. Cruikshank noted that the project may host some of the highest-grade antimony occurrences in all of North America, a claim that places Thistle at the forefront of critical mineral exploration on the continent. A key theme of the update was the strategic importance of antimony, a critical mineral used in high-tech applications, flame retardants, and the defense sector. Antimony is currently facing significant global supply constraints and rising price points, making the company's focus particularly timely. Operating in a supportive Canadian jurisdiction gives Thistle a distinct advantage. With its projects located on Crown land and critical permits already secured, the company is positioned to bypass many typical bureaucratic hurdles, allowing for a rapid transition into active, ground-breaking exploration. #proactiveinvestors #thistleressources #tsxv #trcg #MiningIssuer #PublicMarkets #MiningFinance #JuniorMining #Exploration #CriticalMinerals #PreciousMetals #NewBrunswickMining #NovaScotiaMining #BathurstCamp #CapeBreton #ResourceDevelopment #brunswickantimonyproject #middlerivergolddeporit #Gold #Antimony #CriticalMinerals #Exploration #AtlanticCanada

Clare Campbell, a trailblazing Highlander renowned for her innovation in the weaving and designer clothes industry, is driven by a deep passion for authenticity and identity. Clare's remarkable journey began in 1978, when she was born in Inverness, the Highland capital of Scotland. With two younger brothers, Clare drew inspiration from her mother, who has always been a guiding light in her life. Like many, Clare's family faced heartbreak, losing her brother Paul just before Christmas in 1998 at the age of 19. This profound loss reshaped Clare's outlook on life, instilling in her and her family a renewed appreciation for its fragility and value. In the years that followed, Clare married her childhood sweetheart Allan, became a mother to Paul and Charli, and pursued a career as an accountant. While raising her young family and supporting Highland businesses, Clare's entrepreneurial spirit grew. By late 2015, she discovered her true calling: uniting her love for the Highlands, her creative vision, and her dedication to craftsmanship into a pioneering mission: The pursuit of sustainable excellence with Tartan cloth woven, not on modern machines, but on original century old looms. Clare's journey as an industry leader was clear, despite the challenges she anticipated. Determined to revive the art of storytelling through tartan design, she set out to restore artisan weaving skills and introduce disruptive designer collections to the Highlands. As the founder and owner of Prickly Thistle, and the outlet store called Rebel Row in Inverness, Clare has established a brand synonymous with Scottish heritage, creativity and endurance. And this Brand has been discovered by the likes of Fendi, the  historic Italian luxury fashion house with a number of famous names buying into the product including Sam Heughan or Jamie Fraser of Outlander. Clare Campbell's pioneering story in weaving and designer clothing is extraordinary and it is with pleasure that Unique Scotland Podcast brings Clare's incredible story (and lovely Inverness accent) to you wherever you listen.

In episode 67 of The Football Journals, I sit down to chat with former Buckie Thistle chairman Mark Duncan. I have been covering the Buckie Thistle back to back HL triumphs era on the podcast for a while now, with many names from that squad appearing on the show the last couple of years. Having read Mark's book recently, on the success of the club at the time, it was time to get a man who had a massive part to play in building that success in to tell his story.An incredibly interesting conversation on the ins and outs of the period where Buckie Thistle achieved what they hadn't in 52 years by winning the Highland League. Mark talks to me about coming when were Buckie were struggling, the process of rebuilding and progressing the club, the eras of Kevin Will, Duncan Shearer and Greg Carrol, and of course the success that eventually came that was historic for Buckie at the time, and that has lead to the club continuing to be a competitive force in the Highland League to this day, post Mark's involvement.

Thistle Hill House is also known as the Wharton-Scott House and was built back in the early 1900s in Fort Worth, Texas. This historic mansion goes back to the cattle baron era of the city and indeed, it was home to a cattle baron's daughter. This is a gorgeous and unique home, so its not surprising that previous owners would stick around even after passing away. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Thistle Hill House. The Moment in Oddity features security geese.

Fresh off his February 16th premiere on American Idol, Jake Thistle joins me on Caught on the Mike to talk about his latest single, “Sleep On Me” — a bold, confident statement from an artist stepping into his moment. We break down the meaning behind the track, the edge and urgency in the songwriting, and how it reflects where Jake is mentally and creatively right now. With a sound rooted in classic '70s and '80s influence but sharpened for today, “Sleep On Me” feels like both a warning shot and a breakthrough. We also get into his Idol experience, working with powerhouse producer Butch Walker, and how national exposure collides with years of groundwork. This episode is about belief, timing, and what happens when the world finally starts paying attention.

Have you ever wished you had thorns? Have you ever felt like you needed to protect your heart, your space, your peace of mind, or your time from a world that asks too much of you – or takes without asking? You're not alone. This is what thorn medicine can bring you.Thorns aren't weapons, they're defenses. They don't seek an animal or human out with the intent to cause harm, they hold space and define boundaries. Touch me here, says the rose, but not there. Admire my flowers, says the motherwort, but don't you dare clutch my seeds. We can learn from this.We can take the medicine of thorns into ourselves. We can do this literally, not only (oh, “only”!) metaphorically or symbolically. Most all thorny herbs, and particularly the thorns themselves, carry a key herbal action: astringency. This is an action which literally pulls things together, and holds things together.Each plant's thorn is different, serving its own purpose. Hawthorn's long, widely spaced thorns evolved to counter the hungers of the giant sloth, and they retain that shape long after the lumbering herbivore went extinct: they are the living memory of a predator past. Ocotillo's inexhaustible rows of spines render it no more easy a prey than the cactus who share its landscape. Thistle spikes out from every possible surface, asserting itself in all directions as its firework flowers reach for the sky. Which thorns are yours?Pull yourself together. Hold your boundaries. Make a safe space.Then, within that thorn-walled refuge, your flowers will unfold.Thorn medicine is only one form of support herbs can offer our emotions. Our Neurological & Emotional Health course is a user's guide to your nerves, your emotions, and the herbs who can lift you, hold you, brace you, and sustain you. We teach holistic herbal strategies for addressing both neurological & psychological health issues. It includes a lengthy discussion of herbal pain management strategies, too!Like all our offerings, this is a self-paced online video course, which comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

This week's featured story comes from the By Thistle By Thimble collection. It's called "The Gentle Woodsman and the Final Fall Phoebe." At an early age Tobias knew he would never marry. His love of the natural world gave him the sense of connection and dedication that he perceived marriage to be. Not until he is an old man and a late-to-migrate phoebe bird leads him to Dorothea, an expert forager who lives on the other side of the forest — only then does Tobias realize that there is a special kind of magic that comes from spending regular time with a particular friend. If you enjoyed that story, there are hundreds and hundreds more where that came from. Try a Sparkle subscription now - for free.

Wishing you a Happy Galentine's Day season, this episode is dedicated to a thorough look at the concept of feminist love with Esmée Streachailt and Jocelyn Crawley. First up, hear Thistle deliver the podcast greeting before the world news segment with Cat Bradfield featuring stories from the Gambia, Chile, Indonesia and the United States. Next, take a listen to the interview Jocelyn did with Ms. Esmée Streachailt of MedusaRising.org, a wonderful radical feminist organization that engages and inspires young women to join the movement. Esmée and Jocelyn explore patriarchal concepts of love in order to highlight the need for a radical feminist love that uproots and heals. Finally, take a deep dive into the concept of feminist love with Jocelyn's commentary she leaves us with after the interview. Stay tuned 'til the very end for Margaret's explanation of this month's cover art reprinted below. From WLRN's resident graphic designer, Margaret: "I started with the idea of light representing love. Light flowing out of our selves - connecting us. I found a photo of our sun I had captured which showed rays radiating out. I reused some silhouettes I had created for earlier editions, and arranged them to show women in a circle around the source of light, and love, holding hands. For the background I added a NASA image of stars that I altered with colors. Stars across the universe, like our sun, some with the potential for light and love. But it is our earth, and each other which constellates our reality. It is our sun which is the source of light that allows us to live, and to love. It is our selves which bring light and love to each other. Blessed be!"

Looking ahead to the weekend SPFL fixtures with Charlotte Cohen, Cammy Bell and Moira Gordon. Plus, can Thistle leapfrog St Johnstone in the Championship?

In the summer of 1488, a King of Scots lay dying in a flour mill, allegedly murdered by a man disguised as a priest. But how did James III - a man who preferred lutes to longswords and architects to Earls - find himself fleeing for his life from his own son? This week, we're venturing just north of the border and slightly back in time to explore the chaotic, culture-clashing reign of James III. From the dramatic "kidnapping" of his childhood to the brutal executions at Lauder Bridge and the mystery of his final moments at Sauchieburn, we look at a monarch who was perhaps too "Renaissance" for his own good. We'll also trace the thread that leads directly to the Tudor dynasty, exploring how this medieval tragedy set the stage for the "Union of the Thistle and the Rose" and the eventual rise of the United Kingdom. It's a story of gold, betrayal, and a lifelong penance worn in the form of an iron belt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Officially, the Imperial Intelligence Agency's Headquarters are in Cairn House, Charterhall. Unofficially, the Palace works mostly in the field. An operation targeting Blackthorne Park's own agents in the Dagger Isles has gone sour, leaving both parties in the dark and out some very valuable assets. There's a mole, and the Palace needs them found. Victor Shaw - called Crown by his peers - has set you a task. He can trust no one else. He knows it must be one of three people involved in the operation: Hester Prichard, the cynical handler whose judgment has never been in question even if now her loyalties are, Luca Baine, the spy whose intelligence has ensured the Palace's supremacy despite the best efforts of our rivals, and the assassin codenamed Thistle, whose protege Hyacinth died on the operation under mysterious circumstances. No player of the Game can be unaware that they are under suspicion, and the leak might be sprung from Duskwall at any moment. In seventy-two hours, Crown will have to make a decision. The wrong one could be disastrous. The right one could be disastrous. And if Blackthorn Park gets a hold of the mole before us, it will be very embarrassing indeed...   Support us at https://ko-fi.com/desperateattune and at https://www.patreon.com/DesperateAttune Follow us at https://bsky.app/profile/desperateattune.bsky.social Edited by Zoheb (Klow)  Featuring tree, salty, Aadiyat and Zoheb Blades '68 by John Harper and Evil Hat Productions Music is 'Jingle Bells Forever!!!' by Sri T N Krishnan Cover art by Fahim Anzoom Rumman (botagainsthumanity)

Edition 115 starts with Freda greeting the listener before handing the mic to Cat Bradfield for WLRN's World News segment featuring stories from France, Michigan, England, and Australia. Enjoy the song "Like a Gift" by Samia Malek before hearing Thistle's commentary and snippets of audio from the FiLia conference ending in the song "Spinning & Weaving." Thistle's commentary is followed by Aurora's take, in which she examines the treatment of war at FiLia and encourages us to look more deeply at what causes conflict in the movement and not avoid it. Stay tuned to the very end for Margaret's explanation of the cover image for the month and Lola's synopsis of the show coming out in December. Thanks, as always, for staying tuned to WLRN! Artist's statement: "To create the image for the 115th Edition of WLRN, I used a photo of Freda, aurora and Thistle taken at the FiLia conference. I also included a satellite image of Brighton. I took words from a couple of essays related to the conference and put them into a word cloud generator - playing with the colors and fonts. Arranging everything, I made sure a few words were prominent, like FiLia, and solidarity. While mostly obscured, Zionism is situated over Gaza. Other words, such as biological, gender, research, influential, bodies, and war showed up more randomly. I appreciate the texture of the words - and ideas. How they overlap visually and abstractly. How our point of views mingle as well as conflict."

No-till gardening improves soil health and plant strength but brings new challenges with weed control Perennial weeds like bindweed and thistle need long-term strategies such as tarping to starve out their underground root systems Fast-growing annual weeds spread quickly by seed, making early removal essential to prevent future infestations Cover crops such as rye, oats, and wheat naturally block sunlight and suppress weeds while feeding your soil Mulching with straw, wood chips, or crop residue shields the soil, stops weed seeds from sprouting, and builds long-term fertility

This week's featured story comes from the By Thistle By Thimble: Sample Stories collection. It's called "Jack Tar's Brave Day." Jack Tar is a tall figure in sea lore known for his bravery on the high seas. His bravest day, however, occurred on land when he was a boy: on his second day of school when he admitted what he really did know how to do. . . and what he did not.
