In today's feature, we delve deep into the exciting developments at Fulcrum Metals, a technology-led company focused on recovering precious metals from mine tailings in Canada. An insightful discussion inspires this article with Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals, hosted by Zak Mir. Together, they explore a groundbreaking Master Licence Agreement signed with Extrakt Process Solutions LLC, positioning Fulcrum Metals at the forefront of tailings processing in some of Canada's richest gold mining regions. Unlocking Value from Legacy Gold Mine Waste Mining tailings, often overlooked, represent a significant opportunity for precious metals recovery. These tailings are essentially mine waste left on the surface after primary extraction processes. Fulcrum Metals has identified a unique niche in processing these tailings, particularly in the prolific gold camps of Kirkland Lake and Timmins, Ontario. Ryan Mee shared that the company's recent exclusivity agreement with Extrakt Process Solutions is nothing short of a gamechanger. After a year and a half of negotiations, Fulcrum Metals secured exclusive licensing rights to Extrakt's breakthrough technology for tailings processing. This exclusive partnership covers Canada's top two gold camps—Kirkland Lake and Timmins—both renowned for their rich mining history and extensive tailings sites. What makes this deal truly unique is its exclusivity. According to Ryan, “No one anywhere in the world has this type of deal with Extrakt.” This exclusivity provides Fulcrum Metals with a clear pathway to production and growth, leveraging over 700 million US dollars in situ estimated value across their projects. Considering the company's market cap of just 2.5 million, this represents an extraordinary value proposition, especially when factoring in additional exploration assets and monetised portfolios such as uranium and the recently announced Tully deal. https://www.share-talk.com/interview-fulcrum-metals-revolutionising-precious-metals-recovery-from-tailings-in-canada/

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-crawford-project-advances-with-feed-completion-eyes-2025-construction-6791Recording date: 13th May 2025Canada Nickel Corporation (TSX: CNC) presents a compelling investment opportunity as it advances North America's most promising nickel project in the face of unprecedented government support and institutional capital returning to the mining sector. CEO Mark Selby's leadership has positioned the company to capitalize on what he describes as "the world's largest nickel sulfide district" in Timmins, Ontario, with the flagship Crawford project now approaching a construction decision after completing its FEED study and progressing through permitting.The company's innovative financing strategy has set it apart during challenging capital markets, executing its fourth successful bridge financing arrangement to avoid dilutive equity raises while maintaining project momentum. Recent financing totaling $39-40 million, including a groundbreaking partnership with TTN First Nation, demonstrates management's ability to access capital through non-traditional channels. This approach recognizes the fundamental shift in mining finance, where actively managed funds have "shrunk very dramatically over the last 15 years" and become concentrated in gold, copper, and silver.Political tailwinds have never been stronger for critical mineral projects in North America. The Trump administration's supply chain security focus, combined with Canada's new government under Carney promising to accelerate critical mineral development, creates multiple funding pathways for projects like Crawford. The Canadian government has established numerous funding programs worth billions, though deployment has been slow until now. With both governments prioritizing critical mineral security and upcoming USMCA renegotiations, Canada Nickel is positioned to benefit from what Selby describes as "monster bold steps forward" in government support.Unlike many nickel companies dependent solely on the EV market, Canada Nickel has strategically designed its operations for market flexibility. The company can direct 100% of production to the stainless steel and alloy markets, which continue to show strong growth (China's 300 series stainless production up 12% year-over-year), while maintaining optionality for EV sales through its Samsung SDI offtake agreement. This diversification provides crucial revenue stability as some automotive manufacturers, including Honda, reassess their EV timelines.Perhaps most significantly for near-term share price performance, generalist institutional investors are returning to mining after a decade-long absence. Selby reports that recent conferences included multiple meetings with generalist funds, representing a fundamental shift from resource-only investors. These funds see relative value in a sector trading at "5 and 10% of NPV" compared to broader markets at high multiples. When generalist capital moves from "0.05% of assets to 0.1% to 0.25%," it creates what Selby describes as "a tidal wave of capital."The company has outlined a comprehensive $3 billion funding package with multiple committed sources including $500 million from Export Development Canada, $600 million in refundable tax credits, $100 million from Samsung, and additional potential funding from European agencies and Canadian government programs. With permitting on track for year-end completion and detailed engineering advancing, Canada Nickel is positioned to make its final investment decision and benefit from first-mover advantage in one of the world's most promising nickel districts.For investors, Canada Nickel represents exposure to critical mineral supply chain security, innovative financing structures, and the convergence of government support with returning institutional interest—all while maintaining operational flexibility that provides downside protection in volatile markets.—View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
The natural world offers powerful reminders of its force as Northern Ontario faces rising floodwaters that threaten roads, homes, and infrastructure. Pierre Gagnon joins Jerry Ouellette for a captivating conversation about rural resilience across Canada, sharing firsthand accounts of a region underwater and the delicate balance between community safety and water management.Pierre paints a vivid picture of his community west of Timmins, where roads normally protected from flooding now sit six inches underwater. With snow still lingering in forest shadows and a sinkhole already claiming a section of highway, locals worry this flood could rival the devastating 1996 event that completely washed out roads. The Ministry of Natural Resources faces tough decisions—open the dams and flood towns, or close them and submerge lakeside properties. The conversation shifts to Pierre's recent month-long journey to British Columbia's Cortez Island, revealing a fascinating glimpse into another face of rural Canadian life. This coastal community presents striking contrasts: million-dollar vacation homes sit near modest trailers, while residents joke about "shoveling fog off docks." Pierre shares experiences helping his half-brother build a house foundation using massive Pacific Coast timber and repurposed construction materials, demonstrating the resourcefulness that defines life in remote communities.Throughout their discussion, Jerry and Pierre explore evolving rural industries—from automated logging operations that have consolidated forestry jobs to community-based initiatives that could revitalize small northern towns. They also touch on drone technology for woodlot management, garden planning despite challenging weather, and the continued importance of mining exploration with gold prices exceeding $3,000 per ounce.Subscribe now to hear more authentic conversations that capture the spirit, challenges, and unexpected joys of life under the canopy.

The Canadian singer-songwriter Lights grew up in a missionary family in Timmins, Ont., believing that her musical ability was both a gift and a responsibility. Some of her earliest work was Christian music. When Lights was just a teenager, she started posting her songs on Myspace, which ultimately set her career into motion. But during that time, she also started questioning her faith. Lights joins Tom Power to talk about the healing she did to sever her ties with religion, plus, her new album, “A6,” which was inspired by the sights and sounds of Berlin.

Frits Buningh trained in the 1970s at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) to become a mining engineer, specializing in ventilation. After working in a German coal mine in 1974, he worked in a Canadian copper mine in 1976-77—the Kid Creek Mine near Timmins, Ontario, one of the deepest underground mines in the world. Kid Creek's #2 mine shaft was almost two miles deep (9800 feet = 1.85 Miles), and he experienced going down that deep when it was being developed. These experiences gave him a profound appreciation for geological time scales, something that seems lost amid the climate crisis hysteria of today.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:01 Questioning Climate Data01:08 United Nations and Personal Background02:15 Joining the CO2 Coalition03:20 Challenging the Climate Change Institute05:49 Audit Methodology and Findings09:01 Temperature Data Analysis24:15 Northern Hemisphere Midsection Analysis26:30 Tropics Temperature Trends33:46 Southern Hemisphere Midsection Analysis35:53 Exploring Antarctica: A Personal Journey36:33 Temperature Models and Discrepancies37:27 Antarctica's Melting and Global Impact38:20 Calculating World Temperatures40:23 Audit Results: A Closer Look40:50 Northern Hemisphere Trends41:25 Southern Hemisphere and Tropics Analysis43:12 Challenges with Satellite Data46:11 Concluding Thoughts on Climate Data57:36 Final Remarks and Future PlansAbout Frits: https://co2coalition.org/teammember/frits-buningh/The Audit of Antartica's Average Daily Temperature Survey: https://www.aaadts.com/https://x.com/FBuninghSlides for this podcast: https://www.aaadts.com/nelson2025=========Slides for the podcast are also here, along with AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

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

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-advances-2b-crawford-project-with-construction-decision-set-by-2025-6249Recording date: 16th December 2024Canada Nickel Company (CNC) is advancing its Crawford Nickel Sulfide Project in Ontario's Timmins mining district toward a construction decision in 2025. The project is positioned to become the Western world's largest nickel sulfide operation, targeting the growing demand for battery metals in the electric vehicle sector.The company recently secured a landmark $20 million investment from Taykwa Tagamou Nation (TTN), a local First Nations group, through a convertible debenture - marking the largest First Nations investment in a Canadian mining project to date. This follows earlier strategic investments from major industry players including Anglo American, Agnico Eagle, and Samsung SDI, demonstrating strong market confidence in the project.Crawford's development has reached a crucial milestone with the filing of its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which has been accepted by the government. The project is now in a 365-day review period for permitting approval. The strong support from local communities and First Nations groups is expected to play a vital role in securing final approvals.The project benefits from its location in the established Timmins mining camp, with access to existing infrastructure including rail, highways, and low-cost hydroelectric power. This infrastructure advantage is expected to reduce capital requirements compared to more remote projects. The stable jurisdiction of Ontario adds another layer of security for investors.Canada Nickel's management team brings significant industry experience, including former executives from Inco, once the world's largest nickel producer. The team's track record includes successfully advancing the Dumont project from resource stage to construction readiness at RNC Minerals.The Crawford deposit's sulfide mineralization is particularly attractive for battery manufacturers, offering superior economics and environmental benefits compared to laterite deposits. This positions the project well within the growing electric vehicle supply chain, where Class 1 nickel from sulfide deposits is preferred for battery production.The company notes that Crawford represents a rare opportunity in the nickel sector, being the only large-scale project in Canada to file an environmental impact statement since 2019. This scarcity of new projects, combined with increasing demand for battery-grade nickel, creates a favorable market position for Canada Nickel.The project also holds additional exploration potential within the broader Timmins Nickel District, which the company believes could become the world's largest nickel sulfide resource. With strong strategic backing, experienced management, and advancing development milestones, Canada Nickel appears well-positioned to meet the growing demand for battery-grade nickel in North America.View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this week's episode we kick off our two-part series exploring the stunning province of Ontario, Canada! This journey takes us to four of the five Great Lakes and as far north as there are roads, focusing on the beautiful Canadian landscape. We decided on Ontario after a year of stagnation created an urge for adventure. Traditionally, our road trips led us south, but with the increasing summer heat, we decided to turn our sights northward. Our travels took us through picturesque towns like Guelph, Temagami, Englehart, Matheson, Timmins, Cochrane, and Kapuskasing, We traveled the TransCanada Highway, and explored Ontario's Provincial Parks and campgrounds including Marten River, Kip-Kap-Iwan, and Kettle Lakes to name a few. We ate dumplings from a food truck on the side of the highway, swam in mineral spring-fed lakes and watched the milky way arch overhead every night. Join us as we recount these adventures and share insights from our unforgettable trip!

Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-pioneering-nas-nickel-future-with-innovative-financing-and-esg-focus-5926Recording date: 21st September 2024Canada Nickel Company is making significant strides in advancing its Crawford nickel sulfide project, positioning itself as a potential key player in the North American nickel market. The company has recently secured substantial funding commitments and strategic partnerships, marking a crucial step towards realizing its ambitions in the Timmins nickel district of Ontario, Canada.CEO Mark Selby recently outlined the company's progress in securing a comprehensive financing package for the Crawford project. Canada Nickel has obtained commitments for nearly US$900 million in debt financing, including a US$500 million letter of intent from Export Development Canada (EDC) and a CAD$500 million commitment from another financial institution. EDC's involvement as the mandated lead arranger for a larger debt facility is particularly significant, potentially unlocking access to a total debt package of US$1.5 billion.On the equity side, Canada Nickel is targeting approximately US$1 billion in financing. A substantial portion of this is expected to come from Canadian government support in the form of refundable tax credits, amounting to over US$600 million. These credits are tied to critical minerals development and carbon capture and storage initiatives, aligning with Canada's strategic priorities in these sectors.The company has also secured a strategic partnership with Samsung, involving a US$100 million option agreement. This deal would grant Samsung 10% of the project in exchange for 30% of the offtake, demonstrating industry confidence in Crawford's potential.With these commitments in place, Canada Nickel is now focused on securing the remaining US$300-400 million in equity financing. The company is working with Scotiabank and Deutsche Bank to identify potential strategic partners or offtake agreements that could provide upfront funding.The significant government support for the Crawford project underscores the strategic importance of domestic nickel production in North America. As Selby noted, "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to take advantage of the large flows of government money that are coming into the space that allow you as a retail investor to get a bunch of free leverage from the government to be able to build a project that's going to last, in the case of Crawford, at least 40 years."The demand outlook for nickel remains strong, particularly from the electric vehicle and energy storage sectors. Selby emphasized that "the market needs 10 Crawfords to be able to satisfy that demand," highlighting the scale of the opportunity.For investors, Canada Nickel offers exposure to a strategic asset in a stable jurisdiction, backed by substantial government support and aligned with long-term market trends. The company's innovative financing approach, combining government incentives, debt facilities, and strategic investments, could serve as a model for future critical mineral projects. However, investors should be aware of potential risks, including execution challenges inherent in large-scale mining projects, short-term nickel price volatility, and the need to secure remaining equity financing.Canada Nickel is working towards a construction decision for the Crawford project by mid-2025, aiming to have the majority of its financing package in place by the end of the current year. As the global push for electrification and energy transition continues, projects like Crawford are likely to play an increasingly important role in securing supply chains for critical minerals, potentially offering significant long-term value for investors.View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign 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-1st-resource-of-7-new-resources-all-by-q125-5708Recording date: 10th September 2024Canada Nickel Company is emerging as a significant player in the critical minerals sector, focusing on developing large-scale nickel projects in the Timmins district of Ontario. Led by CEO Mark Selby, the company is advancing its flagship Crawford nickel sulfide project while simultaneously exploring multiple targets across the region, aiming to establish what could become the world's largest nickel sulfide district.The company's strategy is built on several key pillars. First, it focuses on large-scale resources, with the Crawford project poised to become one of the largest nickel sulfide operations in the Western world. Canada Nickel has also identified seven other exploration targets, planning to publish resources for six of them by mid-next year, showcasing the district-wide potential. Second, the company employs innovative financing, having secured significant funding without heavily diluting existing shareholders. This includes a $500 million USD letter of interest from Export Development Canada, $600 million in refundable tax credits from the Canadian government, and a $100 million commitment from Samsung SDI. The company plans to bring in a project partner for an additional $300-400 million, further de-risking the project. Third, Canada Nickel maintains a strong ESG focus, positioning itself to meet the growing demand for "clean, green" nickel from automakers and battery manufacturers. Its projects in Timmins offer the potential for environmentally responsible nickel production, aligning with stringent ESG criteria. Fourth, the company benefits from substantial government support, with its projects closely aligning with Canada's critical minerals strategy, resulting in significant financial incentives and potential for streamlined permitting processes. Finally, despite being a low-grade deposit, the company argues for the economic viability of its projects due to operational efficiencies, processing advantages, and existing infrastructure in the Timmins region.Investors should note several key upcoming milestones for Canada Nickel. The company plans to publish six additional resources by mid-next year, significantly expanding its nickel inventory. Within the next year, Canada Nickel expects to receive key permits for the Crawford project, a crucial step towards development. The company is also working on finalizing its debt package and securing a project-level equity partner, which will further solidify its financial position. Perhaps most importantly, a potential final investment decision on Crawford is anticipated within the next 12-18 months, marking a pivotal moment in the company's progression from explorer to producer. These milestones collectively represent significant potential catalysts for the company's valuation and investor interest.The investment thesis for Canada Nickel is underpinned by the growing global demand for nickel in electric vehicle batteries and energy storage systems. As major automakers and governments push for secure, responsible sources of critical minerals, Canada Nickel's projects in a stable jurisdiction like Canada could command a premium.However, investors should also be aware of potential risks, including nickel market volatility, execution risks associated with developing multiple large-scale projects, and the reliance on effective implementation of processing technologies for low-grade ore.Overall, Canada Nickel represents a unique opportunity in the critical minerals space, offering exposure to the rapidly growing EV and battery storage markets, backed by tangible assets and strong government support. As the company progresses towards production and continues to expand its resource base, it may attract increased attention from both institutional investors and strategic industry partners. For investors looking to capitalize on the clean energy transition and critical minerals boom, Canada Nickel warrants serious consideration.View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

While average residential sale prices are likely to increase in the majority markets analyzed, there are a couple of outliers where prices are anticipated to be flat or decline, including Toronto, Hamilton, Burlington, Kitchener-Waterloo, Charlottetown, North Bay and London, it said. The report said 25 per cent of Canadians expressed that saving for a home purchase is one of their top three priorities when it comes to financial savings, despite high cost of living and affordability challenges. In a video interview, Christopher Alexander, President of RE/MAX Canada, talks about the company's latest report – the Fall Housing Market Outlook. The video can be seen here. PRESS RELEASE TORONTO, Sept. 3, 2024 /CNW/ — With the long-anticipated decline in interest rates finally starting to materialize, early indicators from RE/MAX brokers and agents across Canada suggest steady housing market activity this fall. Average sale prices across all housing types are expected to increase between one and six per cent in the majority of regions by year's end, according to RE/MAX's 2024 Fall Housing Market Outlook. Ahead of the next Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate announcement on September 4, two in 10 Canadians (16 per cent) said they will feel more comfortable engaging in the real estate market once they see there is more than a 100-basis-point cut to the BoC's lending rate between now and the end of the year, according to a Leger survey commissioned by RE/MAX as part of the report. Chris Alexander “The fall market is usually a good early indicator for activity as we look ahead to early 2025, and we're headed toward more healthy territory. With interest rates starting to ease, buyers are beginning to come off the sidelines,” says Christopher Alexander, President, RE/MAX Canada. “That's not to say the fall market will be in full swing according to historic standards. Consumers will drive that trend, so we'll need to see a bigger move by the Bank of Canada for that to happen.” Consumer Sentiments Going into the Fall Market Ahead of further anticipated interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada, it seems that even the mere prospect of lower rates has boosted confidence among first-time homebuyers, with one-quarter of Canadians (25 per cent) actively saving for a home purchase and confident they will be able to buy soon (with the majority being younger Millennials and Gen Zs aged 18-24, at 35 per cent). On the flipside, dropping interest rates now may prove too little, too late for some current homeowners, with 14 per cent saying they need to renew their mortgage soon, and with the current higher interest rate, they may need to sell their home. When it comes to financial savings, the Leger survey revealed that while a home purchase is listed among the top three priorities for 25 per cent of Canadians, it has taken a back seat to day-to-day expenses such as utilities and food (58 per cent), and travel (45 per cent). In the search for affordability, one-quarter of Canadians say that they are considering moving to another country (28 per cent) and 25 per cent say they are reconsidering whether to have children or start a family due to housing affordability challenges. “Despite some consumer confidence starting to return to the market this season, the reality is Canadians are still grappling with some serious housing affordability challenges rooted in lack of supply. Yes, borrowing is becoming less expensive, but this won't make housing affordable in the long run,” says Alexander. “Markets ebb and flow, and as buyers re-enter the market and absorb inventory, we'll see more upward pressure on price. “Ultimately, for the long-term health of Canada's housing market, we need a national housing strategy developed in collaboration between all levels of government, that's more strategic and visionary in how we can use existing lands and real estate to boost supply. In the meantime, buyers would be wise to work with an experienced real estate agent to help navigate those cyclical market ups and downs that often accompany this push and pull of supply and demand.” Regional Market Insights As part of the 2024 Fall Housing Market Outlook Report, RE/MAX brokers and agents in Canada were asked to share an analysis of their local market between January and July 2023 and 2024 and share their estimated outlook for fall 2024. The majority of regions (76 per cent) anticipate an increase in sale price between one to six per cent, including Greater Vancouver Area, BC; Calgary, AB; Edmonton, AB; Saskatoon, SK; Winnipeg, MB; Halifax, NS; St. John's Metro, NL; Truro/Colchester, NS; Fredericton, NB; Timmins, ON; Sudbury, ON; Brampton, ON; Mississauga, ON; Niagara, ON; Ottawa, ON; Durham, ON; Barrie, ON; Muskoka, ON; Peterborough, ON; York Region, ON; Kingston, ON; Windsor, ON, and Thunder Bay, ON. Exceptions to the upward trend include Toronto, ON; Hamilton, ON; Burlington, ON; and Kitchener-Waterloo, ON, where a moderate decline between two and three per cent is expected, and Charlottetown, PEI; North Bay, ON, and London, ON, where prices will likely remain flat. When it comes to listings, a majority of regions surveyed (82 per cent) saw the number of listings increase between 2.3 and 34.7 per cent between January and July (2023 – 2024). The number of sale transactions also increased between 3.1 and 7.4 per cent in Atlantic Canada, 3.4 to 30.9 per cent in Western Canada, and between 0.6 and 14.8 per cent in Ontario, except for some larger Ontario markets like Toronto, Brampton, Durham Region, Mississauga, Peterborough and York Region, where sales trended downward. According to RE/MAX brokers' insights, 33 per cent of housing markets are expected to be seller's markets, but this may shift as competition increases and market conditions evolve. To view the regional data table, click here. Western Canada and Prairies The Prairies continue to skew towards a seller's market (Edmonton, AB; Calgary, AB; Saskatoon, SK) which is consistent with 2023, except for Winnipeg, MB, which is a balanced market. On the other hand, in Western Canada, inclusive of the Greater Vancouver Area, BC, and Kelowna, BC, a mix of balanced and buyer's markets are anticipated. Heading into the fall, prices are forecasted to increase by two to six per cent in regions like the Greater Vancouver Area, BC, and Kelowna, BC; Calgary, AB; Edmonton, AB; Saskatoon, SK; and Winnipeg, MB. Sale transactions are anticipated to increase by five to 15 per cent in the Greater Vancouver Area, BC; Edmonton, AB; and Winnipeg, MB; and a decrease of one per cent in Saskatoon, SK, due to inventory shortages, while Calgary, AB anticipates sales will remain flat. RE/MAX broker feedback in Regina, SK indicates that many factors will dictate how the market pans out for the remainder of the year, including government election cycles, The Bank of Canada interest rate announcements and inventory levels. Historically, Regina, SK sees the markets cool from mid-September through the end of the year. All markets in Western Canada and The Prairies – apart from the Greater Vancouver Area, BC – continue to experience supply challenges, with increased activity in the market, as consumers benefit from recent interest rate cuts. Lower mortgage rates have bolstered consumer confidence in the market but paired with low supply, RE/MAX brokers and agents in the region are reporting aggressive offers in conjunction with sellers raising asking prices for residential homes. Ontario Despite The Bank of Canada's interest rate cuts, low housing supply continues to impact multiple markets across Ontario, keeping prices high. However, some buyers are gaining more confidence as mortgage rates decrease and are slowly re-entering the market heading into fall, keeping prices relatively stable in comparison to the year prior. Housing supply is expected to become a larger issue once further interest rate cuts motivate buyers on the sidelines to re-enter the market and spark more competition. Although some homebuyer confidence is starting to return, buyers in Toronto remain hesitant as affordability continues to be a challenge, especially for first-time homebuyers. Across Ontario, 12 regions are expecting average residential prices to remain flat or increase modestly heading into the fall. Increasing markets include Timmins, Sudbury, Brampton, Mississauga, Thunder Bay, and Barrie (each rising five per cent), Peterborough, York Region and Kingston (rising three per cent), Niagara (up two per cent), Durham Region and Ottawa (up one per cent), and London (rising a nominal 0.5 per cent). The outliers to this upward trend are Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, and Burlington, which are expecting a price decrease. In Ontario, seven markets are expected to experience balanced conditions this fall, while four are anticipated to be seller's markets, and five are buyer's markets. Four markets are expecting a mix, with three buyers/balanced conditions, and one sellers/balanced market. Atlantic Canada Echoing similarities to other regions across Canada, Atlantic Canada is also reporting low inventory supply and increased competition when it comes to buyer activity. Buyers are competing aggressively on affordable housing and new listings, causing prices to spike. This is likely a result of current supply challenges and an increase in out-of-town buyers from Western and Central Canada. Unlike in 2023, average residential prices in Atlantic Canada are expected to increase for the remainder of year, by five per cent in Truro and Colchester, NS, one per cent in Halifax, NS, 1.5 per cent in St. John's Metro, NL, and two per cent in Fredericton, NB, while Charlottetown, PEI is anticipated to remain flat. All markets in Atlantic Canada with the exception of Charlottetown – which is a buyer's market – are considered to be seller's markets. Quebec Like other regions across the country, Montreal's housing shortage coupled with interest rates have resulted in a seller's market, with buyers making multiple offers on properties to remain competitive or opting to wait on the sidelines. Pricing and marketing are crucial for sellers looking to attract hesitant buyers. Additional survey findings: Majority of Canadians (77 per cent) believe steps taken by municipal, provincial, and federal governments to improve housing inventory and affordability are not enough to solve our affordability crisis and more needs to be done 60 per cent of Canadians believe building more diverse types of housing are the key to solving Canada's housing supply challenges For 16 per cent of Canadians, rising cost-of-living and affordability challenges have not deterred them at all, and they plan to purchase another home beyond their primary residence soon (or have recently) 40 per cent of Canadians feel Canada is one of the best countries in the world to purchase/invest in real estate (notably this number is higher at 52 per cent, for new Canadians that have been in Canada for less than 5 years) One-third of Canadians (32 per cent) said they are relying on their home as their only financial plan for retirement.

Very warm today, there won't be a bike ride. Indeed, I even mowed the lawn early today. I say ‘fair to middling' a lot. We went to Timmins! Timmins is interesting enough. People were very friendly. Our hybrid car continues to amaze.
Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-nickel-mega-district-opens-up-us-markets-5401Recording date: 17th July 2024Canada Nickel Company (TSX-V: CNC) is rapidly emerging as a key player in the global nickel market, strategically positioned to meet the growing demand for responsibly sourced battery materials. The company is advancing its flagship Crawford Nickel project while simultaneously unlocking the potential of the broader Timmins Nickel District in Ontario, Canada.The company recently announced a significant milestone with the release of its maiden resource estimate for the Deloro property, marking the first of seven additional resources expected by Q1 2025. This expansion strategy underscores Canada Nickel's vision to establish Timmins as a world-class nickel sulfide district, with a land package covering approximately ten times the geophysical footprint of Crawford.Crawford itself is already considered one of the world's largest undeveloped nickel sulfide deposits. The project is progressing through Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), optimizing its development plan and preparing for long-lead equipment orders. Permitting is advancing, with federal approvals anticipated by mid-2025, aligning with the company's target for a construction decision.Recent market dynamics have created a favorable backdrop for Canada Nickel's projects. BHP's decision to shut down its Western Australia nickel operations until at least 2027 has significant implications for global supply. Combined with geopolitical constraints on Russian and Chinese production, this leaves a substantial gap in the nickel sulfide market that Crawford and Canada Nickel's other projects are well-positioned to fill.The company is pursuing an innovative financing strategy to minimize dilution at the parent company level while securing necessary capital. This approach includes targeting project-level equity, leveraging Canadian government incentives for critical minerals and carbon capture, and exploring strategic partnerships. CEO Selby emphasizes the unique opportunity presented by current market conditions and government support for critical minerals development.Canada Nickel's focus on producing "clean, green nickel" aligns with growing demands for environmentally responsible mining practices. The company's ultramafic deposits have the added benefit of natural carbon sequestration properties, potentially offering a significant competitive advantage in the evolving battery supply chain.Investors should be aware of several potential catalysts over the next 12-18 months, including additional resource estimates from regional properties, advancement of Crawford engineering, progress on permitting milestones, and potential announcements related to project financing and strategic partnerships.While challenges remain in terms of project execution and market volatility, Canada Nickel's strategic approach to developing a world-class nickel district in a stable jurisdiction creates a compelling value proposition. As the electric vehicle revolution drives demand for battery materials, the company's focus on responsible nickel production could prove increasingly attractive to both investors and end-users.For investors considering exposure to the critical minerals sector, Canada Nickel offers a unique opportunity to participate in the development of a potentially transformative nickel supply source. However, as with any pre-production mining company, thorough due diligence is essential, and investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance when evaluating an investment in Canada Nickel.—View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
In this week's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I'm chatting with Gareth Timmins (@garethtimminsauthor). Gareth is a HYROX athlete and an ex Royal Marine commando. He's been on the show previously when he spoke to us about his experiences in HYROX and his first book - “Becoming the 0.1%” - which was the diary account of the brutal training regime for Royal Marine selection. It was a hugely popular episode and I'm very excited to have him back on to talk about his new book – “The 0.1% academy” - which looks at how you can master the 7 mindsets to maintain peak performance. It shows you how you can perform better, for longer, while upholding your mental wellbeing. It is always a pleasure, and hugely inspiring, to chat with Gareth, and I think this episode, and the book, can be so beneficial for anyone interested in peak performance, mindset, mental health and lots more.

They then lament some of the frustrating circumstances and results of the first half, including way too many unfortunate records.
