***⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Complete our⁠ listener survey⁠ for a chance to win a $50 gift card!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** As dawn breaks, the lovers bid each other a tearful farewell, exchanging love tokens: Troilus gives Cressida a silver bracelet and she gives him a necklace. Diomedes arrives to take Cressida to the Greek camp as Paris, Aeneas and Deiphobus speed off to the battlefield. Meanwhile, Ajax rouses the Grecian nobles in his excitement for the single combat with Hector. They humor him until Cressida arrives. One by one, each of the commanders try to force Cressida to kiss them. She uses her wit and sarcasm to keep them at bay. Ulysses ridicules her as a loose woman until Aeneas arrives to inform them that because Ajax and Hector are cousins, their duel cannot be to the death. The two combatants go at each other but settle for a draw. Hector is invited into the Greek camp to feast. All is well until Achilles arrives and vows to kill Hector in battle the next day. Troilus pulls Ulysses aside and asks him to take him to Calchas's tent so that he can visit Cressida.

Agamemnon orders Diomedes to supervise the exchange. Ulysses then convinces the Greek commanders to rile up Achilles by walking past his tent without acknowledging him. When Achilles asks Ulysses what's going on, Ulysses tells him Ajax is the new hero because he took up Hector's challenge, but that if Achilles would break off his secret relationship with a Trojan princess and get back to fighting, his could restore his reputation. Thersites rubs it in by reporting that Ajax is strutting around the Greek camp completely full of himself. Achilles tells Thersites he wants to see Hector at his tent after the fight. Back in Troy, Diomedes arrives at Aeneas's home to finalize the prisoner exchange for Cressida. Aeneas rushes to Troilus's house to break the news to him. He gets there just as Pandarus is teasing the couple in their love nest. When Aeneas finally delivers the royal decree demanding that Cressida be handed over immediately, Troilus is devastated, and Cressida swears she will not leave.

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:Element 29 Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECU) (OTCQB: EMTRF) (BVL: ECU)Drill hole ELID035 at the Elida copper-molybdenum-silver porphyry in Peru returned 1,534.6 metres grading 0.58% copper-equivalent, the company's longest continuous intercept to date and extending mineralization more than 1,000 metres beyond the current resource. With two rigs active and about 4,885 metres drilled of a planned 10,000-metre program, the results reinforce the scale and depth of the system. For investors, the hit signals meaningful room for future resource expansion at one of Peru's larger undeveloped copper deposits.Canada Nickel Company Inc. (TSX-V: CNC) (OTCQB: CNIKF)Canada Nickel delivered an initial mineral resource at its Nesbitt project and a 46% increase in indicated resources at Deloro, completing its ninth deposit across the Timmins Nickel District. The district now hosts 4.36 billion tonnes of measured and indicated resources at 0.24% nickel, containing over 10 million tonnes of contained nickel. The milestone underscores the district-scale potential of the Ontario nickel portfolio as the company works toward a preliminary economic assessment.Aclara Resources Inc. (TSX: ARA)Aclara was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for federal funding under its Genesis Mission initiative to apply artificial intelligence to heavy rare earth separation. The Phase I project, run with Argonne National Laboratory and Virginia Tech, aims to optimize domestic rare earth processing, with successful projects eligible to advance to Phase II for additional funding. The award validates Aclara's strategy of building a secure rare earth supply chain across the Americas and ties it to a national critical-minerals priority.Fitzroy Minerals Inc. (TSXV: FTZ) (OTCQX: FTZFF) (FSE: C3Y)Fitzroy intersected 111.9 metres at 0.97% copper from 21.1 metres, including 18.0 metres at 1.59% copper, at its Buen Retiro project in Chile. The company has four rigs turning and aims to complete the drill-out of the newly named Tenorita area in August to support a planned pre-feasibility study and targeted production in early 2028. The wide, shallow copper hits strengthen the case for a low-strip, near-surface open-pit operation.Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. (TSXV: KLDC) (OTCQB: KLKLF)Kirkland Lake Discoveries expanded its Mirado gold system with 18.99 g/t gold over 6.7 metres and a broad 0.50 g/t gold over 91.0 metres, while extending the North Zone by about 85 metres. A first regional hole 500 metres west at the MZ Zone hit intense alteration and sulphides, suggesting the mineralized corridor may reach beyond the historical deposit. With a regional drill permit secured and 16 holes awaiting assays, the company has multiple near-term catalysts across its KL South property.Troilus Mining Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF) (FSE: CM5)Troilus drilled 1.10 g/t gold-equivalent over 103 metres, including 2.10 g/t over 34 metres, from inferred material within the Z87 reserve pit at its Quebec project. The optimization program is converting previously unsampled or waste-classified rock into potential ore, which management expects to improve early-year mill feed and lower strip ratios. The results support ongoing efforts to strengthen the mine plan for the feasibility-stage former Troilus mine.Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSXV: SGN) (OTCQB: SRCRF) (FSE: RY9)Scorpio Gold closed an upsized public offering for gross proceeds of $10.8 million, issuing 43.2 million shares at $0.25 each. Atlas Salt Inc. (TSXV: SALT) (OTCQX: SALQF) (FSE: 9D00)Atlas Salt received a non-binding letter of interest from Export Development Canada for up to C$150 million in long-term debt for its Great Atlantic Salt Project in Newfoundland.

***⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Complete our⁠ listener survey⁠ for a chance to win a $50 gift card!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** Thersites delights in insulting Patroclus, Achilles, Agamemnon and everyone they command. When Agamemnon arrives with his entourage, Achilles withdraws into his tent and refuses to meet with him. Agamemnon turns to Ajax and heaps praise on him, encouraging him to be their champion in single combat with Hector instead of Achilles. Back at the palace in Troy, Pandarus meets with Paris and Helen in their decadent love nest to make excuses for Troilus's absence from their dinner. Helen persuades him to sing them a love song before sending him on his way. Pandarus finds Troilus anxiously awaiting Cressida in an orchard and finally brings the lovers together. They promise each other complete fidelity with Pandarus as their witness before hurrying into a bedroom to consummate their relationship.

***⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Complete our⁠ listener survey⁠ for a chance to win a $50 gift card!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** As Agamemnon and his Generals argue in the Greek camp, the Trojan Aeneas arrives to deliver Hector's challenge to a duel in single combat. When the brute Ajax hears about the proclamation, he beats the foul-mouthed slave Thersites for not telling him what it says. Achilles and Patroclus come to Thersites' rescue and defend him from Ajax even though Thersites insists on insulting all of them. Back in the Royal Palace of Troy, Priam and his sons Hector, Paris and Troilus dine in the Trojan Council Chamber and debate whether to surrender Helen to end the war. Hector argues she isn't worth the bloodshed and that it's the honorable thing to do. They are interrupted by their mad sister, Cassandra, who enters and prophesies that if they do not let Helen go, Troy will burn. Troilus and Paris argue to keep her nonetheless, ultimately deciding to continue the fight. Back in the Greek camp, Ajax hopes to be picked as the champion to fight Hector. Thersites curses them all.

***⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Complete our⁠ listener survey⁠ for a chance to win a $50 gift card!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** The lovesick Trojan prince Troilus is so consumed by his infatuation with Cressida that he refuses to fight in the endless Trojan war with the Greeks, lamenting his woes to Cressida's uncle, Pandarus, who serves as the go-between for the lovers. Aeneas arrives with news that Troilus's brother, Paris, has been wounded by Menalaeus in battle, persuading Troilus to rejoin the fight. Inside the Trojan Citadel, Cressida gets the gossip from her friend Alexandra before Pandarus arrives to sing Troilus's praises. Together, Pandarus and Cressida watch the Trojan warriors return from battle. Pandarus keeps heaping praise on Troilus as Cressida remains aloof, but once alone, she confesses she's only playing “hard to get” in order to keep Troilus interested. Meanwhile, in the Greek encampment outside Troy, the Generals Agamemnon, Nestor and Ulysses lament that the war has dragged on for years without victory. Ulysses blames it on a breakdown of hierarchy and order brought on by Achilles' mocking their leadership, whipping the Greeks into a frenzy of anger and frustration.

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR) (OTC: RFHRF) (FSE: 9RR)Renforth reported initial assay results from its 2026 stripping program at the Parbec gold deposit in Quebec, with a standout grab sample returning 0.567 g/t gold. The gap between the fire assay and ICP-MS results points to coarse gold, and a consistent tungsten-gold signature now appears across three separate sampling campaigns. The company is moving directly into systematic mapping and channel sampling of the newly stripped ground.ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (FSE: Z7D)ESGold took delivery of a doré melting furnace at its fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec. The propane-fired unit, rated to 1300°C with a 150-kilogram charge capacity, joins previously delivered processing equipment as the company moves from construction toward commissioning. The milestone advances ESGold's path to onsite gold and silver production, which is anticipated in 2026.Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQX: CBGZF)Cabral Gold reported pre-production infill drilling results at its MG deposit in Brazil's Cuiú Cuiú district, headlined by hole RC737 returning 25 metres at 7.47 g/t gold from surface, including 10 metres at 17.09 g/t gold. The results add confidence to the Year 1 mine plan ahead of planned commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2026. The company has now completed 166 holes totalling 5,767 metres across the program.Troilus Mining Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF) (FSE: CM5R)Troilus expanded its high-grade West Rim discovery at its Quebec copper-gold project, with hole WR-26-013 returning 19.06 g/t gold equivalent over 6.4 metres starting just 11.5 metres downhole. The zone sits entirely outside the current resource estimate and within 200 metres of the planned reserve pit, supporting both open-pit and underground potential. With only about half of the planned 2026 drilling complete, there is room for further expansion.GoldMining Inc. (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE American: GLDG)GoldMining released a positive preliminary economic assessment for its São Jorge project in Brazil, outlining a $532 million after-tax net present value and a 42.4% after-tax internal rate of return at a $3,500 gold price. Initial capital is estimated at a manageable $202 million, with a 2.8-year payback and average annual production of roughly 51,000 ounces over a 10.6-year mine life. The company plans to advance the project into pre-feasibility studies and permitting.Bottom Line: Today's headlines show small-cap miners advancing on two fronts — strong drilling and assay results from Renforth, Cabral, and Troilus, and tangible production milestones from ESGold and GoldMining. Across the board, these companies are de-risking their projects and moving closer to gold production.Stay ahead of the market — follow AGORACOM for more breaking small-cap news and insights.

Integrated EPCM structure formalized with BBA Consultants, in partnership with EBC Inc. for construction management integration. Expanded geotechnical and metallurgical validation programs underway to enhance design certainty. Early contractor engagement and independent third-party technical review advancing across key process and design areas. Expanded, construction-ready leadership team in place, with contractor and supplier engagement progressing in parallel. Site readiness accelerating through continued pit dewatering, camp expansion to 200 personnel, and infrastructure upgrades aligned with development planning.   Geotechnical Program A comprehensive geotechnical investigation program has been underway since Fall 2025 and will continue through Spring 2026. Drilling and site characterization across key plant and infrastructure areas are refining foundation design parameters and earthworks planning, directly strengthening schedule and cost certainty.   Metallurgical and Process Optimization Additional metallurgical and process testwork has been undertaken to further validate plant design assumptions, including ore hardness characterization and recovery performance. This work supports equipment sizing confirmation, operational ramp-up planning, and long-term plant reliability.   We note that at present there are already 13 million gold equivalent ounces in all categories in place at the deposit; but that the 22 year projected mine life and robust economics are presently only factored on roughly half of these resources.  There are currently 7 million ounces in reserves, which are the ounces that the economics and engineering is based upon; but clearly there are plenty of resources not yet factored in that will allow the project to either grow to a larger throughput, or they will further extend the mine life.   The potential for large future copper production, in concert with the gold and silver, has been integral in building out the capital stack with ECAs and MCAs, getting offtake agreements in place, and in bringing in key investors into the most recent capital raise.    On March 17, 2026, Troilus Mining Corp. announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”)with Boliden Commercial AB, a leading European base and precious metals mining and processing company, for the long-term offtake of copper-gold concentrate from the Company's Troilus Project. Justin mentions that their team has high confidence that other components for cost overrun facilities, and the potential of a strategic equity holder, or royalty or stream are coming together into the capital stock and the final combination will be presented to the market later this year.   Switching over to the permitting progress, on June 25th the Company announced that it had officially filed the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) with both the Government of Québec and the Government of Canada. The submission of the ESIA marked a major milestone in the development of the Troilus Project, representing the culmination of over five years of comprehensive baseline studies, robust technical evaluations, and meaningful engagement with Indigenous and local communities. Permitting should time out with remaining economic studies and engineering for a construction decision later in 2026.   Wrapping up we discussed the 40,000 meters that will be focused on near-mine resource growth, high-grade target definition, and regional exploration across its 435 km² land package. Drilling is progressing on a combination of mine-plan optimization targets and previously identified regional opportunities generated during the 2025 field program.     If you have any questions for Justin regarding Troilus Gold, then please email them over to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Troilus Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow along with the latest news from Troilus Gold   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.

Interview with Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus Mining Corp. Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/troilus-gold-tsxtlg-build-team-arrives-to-prepare-for-production-7076Recording date: 31st March 2026Troilus Mining Corp. is one of the most advanced development-stage copper-gold companies in Canada, and it is approaching the finish line on the work required to make a construction decision on its central Quebec project. For investors assessing the risk-reward profile of the company today, the picture is materially different from where it stood twelve or even six months ago.The engineering work is substantially complete. Basic engineering, a phase costing approximately $15 million and involving 100,000 man-hours, has been finished, producing a control budget with plus-or-minus 10% variance. Detailed engineering is now underway at an $80 million budget scope, with over 100 engineers working full-time. The company expects to be near 100% detailed engineering complete by the time construction begins, which is an unusually high level of execution certainty for a project of this scale and complexity.The financing structure is almost entirely in place. A $1 billion USD debt facility has been assembled through eleven institutional counterparties, backstopped by European export credit agencies, a structure that provides both competitive pricing and flexibility. Due diligence is substantially complete. A $172.5 million equity raise, completed without warrants, is in the bank and funding all current activity. The final element is a streaming arrangement, which CEO Justin Reid has described as imminent and increasingly favourable in its terms given current commodity prices.The permitting process is orderly and on track. The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment was submitted to federal regulators in mid-2024. The first round of questions has been answered and resubmitted. Because Troilus's engineering is so far advanced, the company can respond to technical regulatory queries in weeks rather than months, a meaningful advantage that reduces the risk of delays. The construction permit is expected by end of 2026, with full construction mobilisation targeted for Q1 2027.Commodity prices have transformed the project's economic profile. The feasibility study was modelled at $1,975 gold. With gold above $4,500 and copper near $5 per pound, the project's internal economics are substantially stronger than at any prior point in its development. Debt providers are modelling conservatively at $3,000 gold — and the project is still robust at that level. Investors gaining exposure today are doing so with significant commodity price upside already embedded in the asset.The company is also actively compressing the path to first cash flow. Pre-construction site work is underway under existing permits, including camp expansion, road relocations, deforestation, mobile crusher deployment, and early earthworks using local contractors. The 40,000-metre drill programme announced for 2026 targets grade optimisation in the early years of mine life, which could accelerate the pace of capital payback without affecting the existing mine plan or permit timeline.For investors with a two-to-three-year horizon, the catalysts ahead — streaming announcement, credit committee approval, construction permit, and ground-breaking — represent a sequential series of de-risking events that have historically driven significant re-ratings in developer valuations. Troilus is approaching all of them simultaneously.View Troilus Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/troilus-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. This is a further look at the stories of the First Doctor, portrayed by William Hartnell, during the 1960s. The First Doctor, Part 4 Galaxy 4 This science fiction story is focused on the idea of not judging a book by its cover. The Tardis lands on a deserted, dying planet. They see a funny looking robot that Vicki calls a “Chumbley”. Then another one appears, and they investigate, but are rescued by three beautiful women who tell them they were in great danger, and take the three travelers back to their ship, where they meet the leader, Maaga, another beautiful woman. But somehow these women are odd and cold. They tell of how they met another ship from a evil race, the Rill, and that in a space battle the ships damaged each other and landed on this planet. Then later the travelers meet the Rill, who initially refuse to reveal their appearance because it would frighten the humans. Turns out they were very alien in appearance, but not at all evil, and it was the beautiful women who were evil. Mission to the Unknown This short little story takes place on the planet Kembel, and agents from Earth realize that the Daleks are here, and up to no good. This is really a prequel to The Daleks' Master Plan, and is notable as the only Doctor Who story in which none of the regular cast appears. The reason is that this is an extra episode slot given to the Doctor Who team late in the day, and the regular cast were already given vacation time off. So it is best to take this as Episode 0 of The Dalek's Master Plan, not as a stand-alone story. The original story has been lost, like so many episodes of early Doctor Who, but a very nice version was done by the University of Central Lancashire, and you can view it on YouTube. It is introduced by Edward de Souza, who played Marc Cory in the original, and is worth a look. They really did a good job. The Myth Makers This is another “historical” story, though instead of verified history it is historical legends at play here, in the form of the Seige of Troy by the Greeks. So you have all of the Homeric cast here: Achilles, Priam, Hector, Odysseus. The Doctor is taken for a God by Achilles, though Odysseus has his doubts. Vicki is captured by the Trojans and taken to Troy, calls herself Cressida, and is taken for a Goddess. Steven goes to Troy to try and free her, but is seen as a Greek, and so Vicki is now suspect. She falls in love with a son of Priam named Troilus, and you think something might happen here, particularly if you are familiar with play of Shakespeare called Troilus and Cressida. This story only has faint echoes of the play, preserving that Cressida is Greek and Troilus is Trojan. In this case it is Cressida staying with Troilus, so instead going back to the Tardis Vicki is now out. One more companion gone. This marked the departure of Verity Lambert as producer, and she was replaced by John Wiles. Wiles tried to implement changes, such as making the show a bit darker, but ran into opposition from both Hartnell and BBC Management, and resigned after producing four stories ( The Myth Makers through The Ark). And the popularity of other SF shows on television made a move to more SF and less history desirable. And as for Hartnell's opposition, it is notable that he had become quite identified with the role of The Doctor and was very proprietorial with it. This would come to pose problems later as his health declined. The Daleks' Master Plan This story arc takes twelve episodes, or thirteen if you add Mission to the Unknown, as you indeed should. The reason for such a long story arc is that Sir Huw Wheldon, the Director-General of the BBC at that time wanted a “monster length” Dalek story because his mother was a big Dalek fan. And this story has a lot going for it. The length means that you can do more character development. The story starts out with Steven recovering from a sword-thrust during the fall of Troy, and being attended by Katarina, a Trojan maiden, who is now in the Tardis. They arrive on the planet Kembel, and meet with Space Special Security agent Bret Vyon, played by Nicholas Courtney, who in a few years would become the beloved Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. Vyon tries to force the Doctor to take him to Earth so he can warn the planet, but the Doctor recognizes the Daleks and wants to find out more about their plans. And this brings us to one the most evil villains in Doctor Who, Mavic Chen. You see, the Daleks have assembled a group of villainous aliens to join together in conquering the Earth, and Mavic Chen is part of the group. He is also the idolized Guardian of the Solar System. So he is a traitor! Katarina, the Trojan maiden, sacrifices herself to save the others from a convict they meet on a prison planet. Another wonderful character is Sara Kingdom (played by Peggy Marsh), head of Space Special Security, who has been told by Mavic Chen that Vyon and the others are traitors, and who kills Vyon, who is in fact her brother! But they manage to convince her that Chen is the real traitor, and she joins them. In the middle of this story arc Christmas happened, and this resulted in the most absurd episode ever of Doctor Who, called The Feast of Steven, capped by the Doctor breaking the fourth wall. The episode is now among the missing. but you can find reconstructions on YouTube if you want to see the absurdity of it. And there is a re-appearance of The Meddling Monk. This is a sprawling story, but overall worth a look. Mavic Chen, played by Kevin Stoney, is delightfully evil, and Stoney would return to play another villain in the Troughton story The Invasion. and it is interesting to see Nicholas Courtney before he got the role he would always be identified with. Doctor Who would not do anything this large again until _The Flux_ in 2021, and frankly this story makes more sense. The Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve You will often see this as simply The Massacre, which is fine since there is no other story with a similar title. And after that massive science fiction story, another historical story. This involves the true story of Protestants in France being massacred by the Catholics, and the main feature worth calling our here is that William Hartnell plays two roles in this story. He is the Doctor, of course, but also the Abbott of Amboise, a leader among the Catholics looking to rid France of the Protestants. This idea of playing two parts became even more nicely done by Patrick Troughton later in Enemy of the World. In any case, this leads to confusion by Steven who thinks the Abbott is actually the Doctor. In the story a servant girl named Anna Chaplette is rescued, and this opens up the interesting possibility that she is the ancestor of Dodo (i.e. Dorothea) Chaplet, a companion who appears at the end. She witnesses a car crash, and barges into the Tardis thinking she can call the police. While the novelty of Hartnell playing two parts may stand out on first look, this story is really a showcase for Peter Purves, in his role of Steven Taylor. Because Hartnell is not on screen very much, Purves really has to carry the plot, and does so admirably. Hartnell was on vacation when the second episode was filmed, and so didn't appear at all. And his health problems were beginning cause problems which contributed to this situation. He was having a lot of trouble with remembering his lines, which is a real problem for an actor. He was not that old by current standards, as he was 58 when this story was produced, and as I am 73 as I write this, 58 seems more like late youth to me. The Ark The Tardis materializes on a spaceship in the far future. It is carrying the future of the human race to a new planet, Refusis 2, because the Earth is falling into the sun. But it also has an odd race called the Monoids, who have one eye. They are an alien race who came to Earth when their own planet was dying, and now they serve the humans. Unfortunately, the Tardis crew carries germs for which humans and Monoids on the Ark have no immunity, and sickness breaks out. One faction wants to kill the Doctor and his companions, but instead the Doctor finds a cure for the disease, and they leave on the Tardis. Then the Tardis materializes back on the Ark, but they discover that hundreds of years have passed. The Monoids have rebelled and taken over, and now the humans serve them. As the old saying has it, be kind to those you meet on the way up, for you will meet them again on the way down.

Episode 202:For today's guest episode it is a very warm welcome back to Racheal Aanstad. You will remember that Racheal and I have discussed Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night's Dream on the podcast and now she returns to discuss ‘Troilus and Cressida'. As you will hear Racheal was able to bring thoughts about the history of the play and it's sources, particularly Homer's Iliad, which, I think, really enhances our understanding of this challenging play.Rachel Aanstad is a writer, artist, historian, and Shakespeare nerd with an MFA in theatre. She is the former Artistic Director of the Rose City Shakespeare Company and the author of A Bawdy Twelfth Night or What You Will Encyclopaedia & Dramaturgical Handbook and A Midsummer Night's Dream Illustrated Handbook and Encyclopaedia.

Fantastic and informative talk with Sara Petrosillo of the University of Evansville about her new book, Hawking Women: Falconry, Gender, and Control in Medieval Literary Culture (Ohio State University Press, 2023). Listen all the way to the end for a great description of the process of hunting with birds! While critical discourse about falconry metaphors in premodern literature is dominated by depictions of women as unruly birds in need of taming, women in the Middle Ages claimed the symbol of a hawking woman on their personal seals, trained and flew hawks, and wrote and read poetic texts featuring female falconers.  Sara Petrosillo's Hawking Women demonstrates how cultural literacy in the art of falconry mapped, for medieval readers, onto poetry and challenged patriarchal control. Examining texts written by, for, or about women, Hawking Women uncovers literary forms that arise from representations of avian and female bodies. Readings from Sir Orfeo, Chrétien de Troyes, Guillaume de Machaut, Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, and hawking manuals, among others, show how female characters are paired with their hawks not to assert dominance over the animal but instead to recraft the stand-in of falcon for woman as falcon with woman. In the avian hierarchy female hawks have always been the default, the dominant, and thus these medieval interspecies models contain lessons about how women resisted a culture of training and control through a feminist poetics of the falconry practice.

Episode 201‘Troilus and Cressida', is a challenging piece by pretty much everybody's estimation. Although it is no surprise that Shakespeare looked to the Homeric tales for his next inspiration which part of that story he chose to dramatize perhaps is and what he chose to do with it has perplexed commentators ever since. Ambiguous is the word most often used, but ultimately opinions range through ‘failure' to ‘misunderstood' to ‘modernistic', and just about everything else in-between.

Justin Reid, President and CEO of Troilus Mining Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF) (FSE: CM5R), joins me for a comprehensive update on their recent name change from Troilus Gold due to them having a project of scale with a substantial copper component, at the Gold-Copper Troilus Project located in northcentral Quebec, Canada.    The potential for large future copper production, in concert with the gold and silver, has been integral in building out the capital stack with ECAs and MCAs, getting offtake agreements in place, and in bringing in key investors into the most recent capital raise.  In addition, we discuss the advancement of basic and detailed engineering studies, get an update on the permitting progress, review peer comparisons on valuations, and discuss the exploration success at the Southwest Zone and the upcoming regional drill program,   We start off noting that at present there are already 13 million gold equivalent ounces in all categories in place at the deposit; but that the 22 year projected mine life and robust economics are only factored on roughly half of these resources at present.   On November 19, 2025,Troilus Mining announced that it has increased its previously announced debt financing mandate from US$700 million to up to US$1 billion. The upsizing of the mandate reflects the strength of current commodity markets and the material uplift in project economics relative to the conservative assumptions used in the Feasibility Study. It also underscores the continued confidence of the Company's lending partners and Troilus' growing strategic importance as one of North America's next major copper-gold mines.   On November 14, 2025, Troilus Mining announced that it has closed its previously announced bought deal public offering, including exercise of the over allotment option issuing 133,722,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $1.29 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $172,501,380. The net proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares will be used by the Company to fund ongoing pre-development activities, debt repayment, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.   Basic engineering of the Project led by engineering partner BBA Inc has now mostly been completed, and is moving on to detailed engineering.  Following the completion of trade-off studies and process flowsheet definition earlier this year, the focus shifted to cost estimation, procurement, and execution planning. Major deliverables - including capital cost estimates, vendor evaluations, and project execution plans - are now well advanced, supporting a targeted construction decision in 2026. Key trade-off studies were conducted, resulting in design improvements to support scalability, operational robustness, and energy efficiency, with minimal impact to capex.   Construction Readiness and Commissioning Preparation   Layouts of construction facilities have been developed to optimize logistics and cost planning. Review of 3D models for the Project's process plant, dry comminution circuit, and site infrastructure is over 30% complete. Commissioning systems have been identified and sequenced to ensure a structured transition from construction to operations.   Switching over to the permitting progress, on June 25th the Company announced that it had officially filed the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) with both the Government of Québec and the Government of Canada. The submission of the ESIA marks a major milestone in the development of the Troilus Project, representing the culmination of over five years of comprehensive baseline studies, robust technical evaluations, and meaningful engagement with Indigenous and local communities. Permitting should time out with remaining economic studies and engineering for a construction decision in 2026.   Wrapping up we discussed all the infill and expansion drilling at the Southwest Zone this year that will continue into next year, which has continued to hit increased grades over broad intercepts.  Raising the grade profile of this key area positively impacts the first 5 years of mining in the development scenario.  Justin also highlights regional drilling opportunities that the exploration team will pursue in 2026.     If you have any questions for Justin regarding Troilus Gold, then please email them over to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Troilus Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow along with the latest news from Troilus Gold   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.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 28, 2025 is: diminution • dim-uh-NOO-shun • noun Diminution is a formal word that refers to the act or process of becoming less. // The company is committed to seeing that efforts to scale up production do not result in a diminution of quality. See the entry > Examples: “A sense of abasement hovers over the performer of the Super Bowl halftime show. It is slight, but it is there. ... The gig—a live gig—is essentially done for free. It ends, the performer is spirited away, and the multi-million-dollar commercials and multi-million-dollar game resume. It's popular music as the doula to football. The next morning, everyone makes big talk about history and legend-making; the feeling of diminution lingers.” — Doreen St. Félix, The New Yorker, 10 Feb. 2025 Did you know? In his late 14th century tragic poem Troilus and Criseyde, Geoffrey Chaucer employed the word diminution, contrasting the verb encrece (“increase”) with the phrase “maken dyminucion” (“make diminution”). Like many words Chaucer used, diminution came to English from Anglo-French, and ultimately from the Latin word deminuere, meaning “to diminish,” which is also an ancestor of the English verb diminish. That word entered the language in the 15th century, and the related noun diminishment, a synonym of diminution, was adopted in the 16th century.

Justin Reid, President and CEO of Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF) (FSE: CM5R), joins me for a comprehensive update on exploration success at the Southwest Zone, the advancement of basic and detailed engineering studies, permitting progress, and offtake agreements in place at the Gold-Copper Troilus Project located in northcentral Quebec, Canada.   We start off noting that at present there are already 13 million gold equivalent ounces in all categories in place at the deposit, but that infill and expansion drilling at the Southwest Zone has continued to hit increased grades over broad intercepts, which is raising the grade profile of this key area to the first 5 years of mining in the development scenario.   Hole SW-25-678 intersected 78.38 g/t gold equivalent (“AuEq”) (78.21 g/t Au, 5.95 g/t Ag, 0.06 % Cu) over 2 meters, including 153.73 g/t AuEq (153.50 g/t Au, 11.00 g/t Ag, 0.06 % Cu) over 1 meter Hole SW-25-681 intersected 1.79 g/t gold AuEq (1.40 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.22 % Cu) over 36 meters including 2.44 g/t AuEq (1.93 g/t Au, 1.85 g/t Ag, 0.29 % Cu) over 23 meters   Moving over to all the development and derisking work underway, Justin provides an update to the news released on June 10th,  reporting on the progress of basic and detailed engineering at its copper-gold Troilus Project led by engineering partner BBA Inc. based in Montreal, Quebec. Since being awarded the mandate earlier this year, a dedicated team of approximately 45 full-time engineers and specialists has been advancing key workstreams on schedule as the project moves forward on the path to construction readiness.   A comprehensive review of the May 2024 Feasibility Study was completed earlier this year. Key trade-off studies were conducted, resulting in design improvements to support scalability, operational robustness, and energy efficiency, with minimal impact to CAPEX. The optimized main process flowsheet was finalized on schedule, supporting the broader detailed engineering timeline.   Switching over to the permitting progress, on June 25th the Company announced that it has officially filed the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) with both the Government of Québec and the Government of Canada. The submission of the ESIA marks a major milestone in the development of the Troilus Project, representing the culmination of over five years of comprehensive baseline studies, robust technical evaluations, and meaningful engagement with Indigenous and local communities. As one of the largest undeveloped gold and copper projects in North America, this filing is a key step in advancing Troilus along its path towards construction.   Wrapping up we reviewed then news out in June and July that announced Troilus has agreed to indicative commercial offtake terms with Aurubis AG  and Boliden Commercial AB for the offtake of copper-gold concentrate expected to be produced from the Company's Troilus Project.   We reviewed that the rest of the capital stack was coming together through negotiations with royalty and streaming companies, and other financial institutions.   If you have any questions for Justin regarding Troilus Gold, then please email them over to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Troilus Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow along with the latest news from Troilus Gold

Compass, episode 17Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/why-resource-stocks-dip-in-spring-rise-in-fall-7159Recording date: 30 May 2025Olive Resource Capital delivered exceptional Q1 2025 results, reporting over $1.1 million in net returns—equivalent to one cent per share—while their stock trades between three and four cents. The portfolio gained 17% during the quarter, with net asset value per share rising over 20% due to strategic share buybacks.Executive Chairman Derek Mcpherson and President/CEO Sam Pelaez attribute the record performance to a fundamental shift in investment strategy. The firm abandoned diversified holdings in favor of concentrated, high-conviction positions in companies like Omai and Troilus. "We weren't winning enough" with their previous approach, Pelaez explained, prompting the move toward fewer but stronger positions.The strong Q1 was primarily driven by precious metals exposure, particularly gold, though momentum has flattened through May. This has shifted focus toward copper opportunities, where the managers see significant potential despite market inefficiencies.A key catalyst emerged from operational problems at Ivanhoe Mines' Kamoa-Kakula facility in the Democratic Republic of Congo—one of the world's top five copper assets. Despite the flooding-related shutdown, copper prices remained surprisingly stable. "Normally when a top five copper asset shuts down the market moves," Mcpherson noted, suggesting the muted response may create entry opportunities.The copper investment landscape presents unique challenges, with only five to eight meaningful mid-cap companies available, each carrying specific drawbacks that stretch valuations. Olive Resource maintains copper exposure through junior developers including Arizona Metals, backed by Rio Tinto and Hudbay, and Sterling Metals, which recently announced impressive drill results of 359 meters at 0.36% copper equivalent.The firm's dual-portfolio approach—maintaining liquid positions for tactical trading while holding concentrated junior positions for fundamental plays—reflects sophisticated market understanding. With major copper assets going offline while demand projections grow, Olive Resource appears well-positioned for potential copper market inflection points.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Justin Reid, President & CEO of Troilus Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/troilus-gold-tsxtlg-700m-debt-secured-for-quebec-gold-copper-mine-6856Recording date: 6th May 2025Troilus Gold stands at the forefront of copper-gold development in Canada, with the company making remarkable strides toward production at its flagship project in Quebec. The company has secured a game-changing $700 million US debt package backed by export credit agencies and led by SOCGEN, KFW, and Export Development Canada. This financing structure, relatively rare for junior miners, leverages Troilus Gold's strategic position as the only near-term copper concentrate producer in Eastern Canada at a time when global smelters face severe supply constraints following the closure of major operations like Cobre Panama.Recent high-grade drill results have enhanced confidence in the project's first five years of production, with CEO Justin Reid noting that "the higher grade is larger than we thought," providing greater certainty for both lenders and shareholders. The company is progressing through Quebec's permitting process with anticipated approval by mid-2026, targeting construction by early 2027. Significantly, Troilus isn't waiting for final permits, having already begun early works under existing exploration permits to de-risk the timeline and reduce future capital expenditures.The project benefits from its history as a previously producing mine with 14 years of successful operation, substantially reducing technical risk. This historical performance provides valuable data on metallurgy, processing, and geotechnical aspects that new developments typically lack. The company has assembled an exceptional leadership team, including VP Operations Andy Fortin, who worked at the original Troilus operation and built major Quebec mines including Meadowbank, and construction leader Denis Rivard, who recently completed Montreal's REM rail project on time and on budget.Troilus Gold has established strong partnerships with the Cree Nation, whose traditional territory hosts the project. With 25% of the current workforce from Cree communities and three major contracts with Cree partners already in place, the company has built a genuine relationship that goes beyond mere consultation. This partnership represents a significant advantage in a time when indigenous relationships are increasingly recognized as essential to successful mine development in Canada.From a market perspective, Troilus offers investors exposure to both copper and gold – combining industrial demand from electrification trends with monetary hedge characteristics. The company's market capitalization has grown to approximately $250 million, aligning with historical valuations of other major Quebec gold developments at similar stages. With copper fundamentals particularly strong due to global supply constraints and multiple near-term catalysts including offtake agreement finalization and environmental assessment filing, Troilus Gold presents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking exposure to critical minerals in a tier-one jurisdiction with a clear path to production.—View Troilus Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/troilus-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Troilus and Cressida continued.

Justin Reid, President and CEO of Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF), joins me for a comprehensive update on a key project financing milestone building up the capital stack, additions to personnel with ongoing derisking initiatives, detailed engineering underway, permitting progress, political tailwinds, and more drilling success at the Gold-Copper Troilus Project located in northcentral Quebec, Canada.   Troilus announced on March 13th, that they have secured a US$700MM ( CDN$1BB) project financing syndicate underwritten by Societe Generale ( Paris), KfW Ipex-bank ( Frankfurt) and Export Development Canada.  These lead arrangers will act as the agent via direct lending to the ECA's for which we have an LOI ( Finnvera, EKN, Euler Hermes and EIFO).”   We review the expanded 80-person Troilus team at present working full steam ahead, including the addition of 4 new members of the management team, and complimented by 50 employees of a 3rd-party contractor that are working on the detailed engineering studies.  Justin paints the picture of how significant the Troilus Project will be for jobs in Quebec, with ~1400 jobs over the 2-year construction process, and then 680 jobs over the 22-year life of mine.    This leads into a discussion on the recent bipartisan consensus on the need to streamline permitting and enable the timely advancement of strategic projects that support Canada's energy transition, economic growth, and global competitiveness. Notably, the Copper-Gold Troilus Project was recently identified as one of ten key natural resource developments of interest in a CPC proposal to simplify and accelerate permitting and development. This recognition follows similar indications of support for a more efficient regulatory framework from the LPC who has publicly endorsed a “one project, one review” permitting system.   Wrapping up we touched up on the importance of the recent high-grade infill drill results that were just released from the SouthWest Zone, in terms of gaining higher confidence ounces in the resource and for the higher-grade near-surface intercepts having a positive impact on the early years in the mining sequence.   Southwest Drill Intercept Highlights:   Hole SW-25-688 intersected 2.44 g/t gold equivalent (“AuEq”) (2.03 g/t Au, 2.55 g/t Ag, 0.23 % Cu) over 56 meters (m), including 3.28 g/t AuEq (2.74 g/t Au, 3.38 g/t Ag, 0.29 % Cu) over 34 m. This is the best drill intercept in the history of the Southwest in terms of linear grade.   Hole SW-25-679 intersected 1.22 g/t AuEq (1.13 g/t Au, 0.81 g/t Ag, 0.04 % Cu) over 51 m including 15.39 g/t AuEq (15.25 g/t Au, 0.60 g/t Ag, 0.08 % Cu) over 1 m, and 8.18 g/t AuEq (7.33 g/t Au, 8.50 g/t Ag, 0.44 % Cu) over 1 m starting at 9 metres downhole.     If you have any questions for Justin regarding Troilus Gold, then please email them over to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Troilus Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow along with the latest news from Troilus Gold

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

Interview with Justin Reid, President & CEO of Troilus GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/troilus-gold-tsxtlg-binding-lois-change-everything-6626Recording date: 14th March 2025 Troilus Gold stands at an inflection point as it advances its flagship copper-gold project in Northern Quebec toward production. With a recently secured $700 million debt financing package and gold prices reaching $3,000 per ounce, the company represents a compelling investment opportunity in the precious metals sector. The Troilus project boasts impressive scale and economics, including a 22+ year mine life producing over 350,000 gold equivalent ounces annually, an after-tax NPV of $3 billion, and potential for $350 million in annual free cash flow.Troilus has systematically addressed key developmental risks, creating a clear pathway to production. With $700 million in debt secured with favorable terms, permitting in final review stages, and an experienced development team assembled, the company has positioned itself for success. Pre-construction activities include detailed engineering with BBA (engineers behind Detour and Malartic) and active site preparation including pit dewatering.Management has crafted a sophisticated financing approach that minimizes dilution while ensuring adequate funding. Using a 70-30 debt-to-equity structure on the $1 billion capital requirement, finalizing offtake agreements for concentrate sales, and strategically positioning to monetize a new royalty or stream for up to $400 million, Troilus has created multiple funding options beyond traditional equity raises.With a current market capitalization of approximately $165 million against an after-tax NPV of $3 billion, Troilus presents a compelling valuation opportunity. CEO Justin Reid draws comparisons to similar-stage peers that have seen significant revaluation upon financing completion. Several macroeconomic factors further enhance the investment case, including rising gold prices, global copper concentrate shortages, the expanding margins created by Canadian dollar weakness, and increasing focus on secure critical minerals supply chains.The next 12 months present several potential catalysts that could drive revaluation, including finalization of offtake agreements, completion of royalty/stream financing, financial close on the debt package, final permitting approvals, and ultimately a construction decision. As Troilus Gold transitions from developer to producer, investors have a rare opportunity to participate in a gold-copper project that combines scale, economics, jurisdictional advantages, and strategic relevance in today's commodity environment.—Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/troilus-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/troilus-gold-tsxtlg-multi-decade-gold-copper-mine-with-c2b-npv-potential-5431Recording date: 30th January 2025Troilus Gold is advancing one of North America's most significant gold and copper development projects, positioned at a crucial time when new mine supply is scarce and metal prices are strengthening. The Quebec-based project, with 13 million ounces equivalent in resources, represents a rare opportunity for investors to gain exposure to a large-scale development story in a tier-one jurisdiction.The project's economics are compelling, particularly in the current market environment. At $2,000 gold, the operation is projected to generate $150 million US in annual free cash flow, with that figure rising to approximately $300 million US at current gold prices. This scalability in the project's economics provides investors with significant leverage to metal prices while maintaining robust returns even at more conservative price assumptions.What sets Troilus apart from many development peers is its strong financial backing and clear path to funding. The company has secured $1.3 billion in letters of intent from European Export Credit Agencies and Export Development Canada, with plans to take on $700-850 million in debt. This level of financial support is particularly noteworthy and is driven largely by the project's strategic copper component. European smelters, facing critical concentrate shortages due to the loss of major suppliers like Copper Panama, view Troilus as a vital future source of supply. As CEO Justin Reid emphasizes, "Copper's going to fund this, gold's going to drive the value."The development risk profile is mitigated by several factors. Being a brownfield site provides approximately $500 million in infrastructure savings and simplifies the permitting process. The company has assembled an experienced technical team, including recent additions of Andy Frontin as operations manager and Denis Rivard for project development. The engagement of BBA for detailed engineering, leveraging their experience with similar projects like Detour and Malartic, further strengthens the technical execution plan.The project also benefits from its location in Quebec, a premier mining jurisdiction, and the current macroeconomic environment. With costs denominated in Canadian dollars and revenue in US dollars, the operation stands to benefit from current currency dynamics. As Reid notes, "Selling our product in US dollars are costs in Canadian dollars. Right now, I want leverage to Canadian gold miners who are actually benefiting from the current economy."For investors, Troilus offers multiple potential catalysts and value creation opportunities. The company's critical minerals status enhances access to government support and strategic financing options. The project's scale and strategic importance make it a potential acquisition target for major producers seeking growth. Furthermore, ongoing detailed engineering work is already identifying opportunities for optimization beyond the feasibility study base case, while the property maintains exploration upside potential.With 70% institutional ownership, strong financial backing, and clear development milestones ahead, Troilus represents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking exposure to both gold and critical minerals in a tier-one jurisdiction. The company's systematic de-risking approach, combined with strategic importance in the copper market, positions it well for potential revaluation as it advances toward production.—View Troilus Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/troilus-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 22, 2024 is: heinous • HAY-nus • adjective Heinous describes things—such as acts, deeds, or crimes—that are hatefully or shockingly evil, or in other words, deserving of hate or contempt. // The former dictator will stand trial for the role he played in his government's heinous treatment of political dissidents. See the entry > Examples: “‘I didn't say anything at the time,' Fyodor said. ‘But I don't agree with you. I think killing people is wrong. It is always wrong. Even if you do something really awful or heinous. Nobody should get to kill you.'” — Brandon Taylor, The Late Americans: A Novel, 2023 Did you know? For eons, humans have contrasted love with hate and good with evil, putting love and good on one side, and hate and evil on the other. The association of hate with evil is baked into the etymology of heinous, which English gained directly from Anglo-French in the 14th century with the meaning we still know today; its source is the Anglo-French noun haine, meaning “hate.” Haine in turn comes from a verb of Germanic origin, hair, also meaning “to hate.” (The similarity between this hair and the other hair is coincidental.) Chaucer's poem “Troilus and Criseyde” provides an early example of heinous in English: “He rang them out a story like a bell, against her foe who was called Polyphete, so heinous that men might on it spit.”
