Key Takeaways: The Dark Data Trap: Unlocking Logistics Documents In "The Dark Data Trap: Unlocking Logistics Documents with Tungsten Automation's Patrick Van Hull" Joe Lynch and Patrick Van Hull, Supply Chain Industry Consultant at Tungsten Automation, discuss how intelligent document processing eliminates manual data traps to drive logistics efficiency and cost savings. Tungsten Automation Profile: Formerly Kofax, Tungsten is a global leader in AI-powered Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and advanced workflow automation. Backed by a 40-year legacy, 2,200 employees, and 25,000+ global customers, the company was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for IDP. Their cloud-based platform sits cleanly over multiple, fragmented ERP and TMS networks to pull and push data seamlessly. Escaping the "Dark Data Trap": Moving a single international ocean container can require upwards of 30 separate documents. Because traditional TMS and ERP platforms can't read unstructured data (like dense PDFs, faxes, or Excel spreadsheets), this critical info becomes trapped "dark data." Tungsten uses IDP to automatically ingest, classify, and extract line-item data from over 40 different logistics document types, turning paper trails into structured, digital assets. Slashing AP Errors & Driving Revenue: Manual touchpoints in freight invoicing lead to constant billing discrepancies and human errors. Through automated multi-way matching, reconciliation, and automated exception handling, Tungsten drives "zero-touch" processing for order management and invoices. In one case study, acting as an automated "quality check" against contracted rates helped a major freight shipper capture an incremental $20 million in annual revenue. Preventing Customs and Shipment Delays: When data errors or missing documents hit customs or a port, shipments grind to a halt, triggering costly penalties, demurrage fees, and port congestion. Tungsten automates data extraction and email ingestion for customs clearance, validating regulatory documentation and compliance checks before shipments ever hit major bottlenecks. Accelerating Carrier and Supplier Onboarding: Traditional onboarding forces procurement teams into a weeks-long "paper chase" of manual risk assessments and compliance reviews. Tungsten uses automated self-service portals paired with automated risk assessments—such as using the platform to instantly verify the legitimacy of bank and credit statements—condensing onboarding timelines from weeks down to a matter of days. Bridging the Gap Between AI Hype and Reality: AI cannot solve supply chain issues without clean, unified data. Patrick notes that trying to run raw, messy documents entirely through an unguided Large Language Model (LLM) can cause the AI to run wild, exhausting months' worth of token allocations in a single week. Tungsten effectively solves this by embedding AI directly into workflows, blending traditional rules-based automation (RPA) for standard patterns with Generative and Agentic AI to manage highly complex exceptions. Elevating the Human Experience: Eliminating rudimentary data entry is ultimately a personal win for the workforce. Moving away from "swivel chair activity" and manual data chasing reduces friction and human error. By shifting repetitive tasks to automated workflows, logistics employees are freed up to use human ingenuity, focus on creative problem-solving, and ultimately enjoy more meaningful, higher-value work.

While his nine-year-old son was fighting stage three cancer, Nick Stevens was driving around buying up scrap tungsten carbide just to keep food on the table. It worked well enough that one day, sitting in the hospital room, his son said to him: “Dad, why don’t you just start your own business and be your own boss?” Today Nick and his cousin Joey run JC Metals, going around the country paying cash on the spot for the carbide piling up in shops. And they refuse to sell a pound of it overseas even when buyers offer them more money to do it. Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link.     .

Main Points While You Wait, the Price Moves Carbide tooling has gotten expensive. Between the tariffs and China restricting exports, prices have been swinging all over the place. Every machine shop has scrap carbide sitting around, worn inserts and chipped end mills that are useless for precision work but still worth real money as raw material. A lot of shops don’t realize how much. Nick says he walks into places with piles of carbide they’re practically throwing away, not knowing it’s worth $40,000 or $50,000. JC Metals buys it and sells it to a private US processor, one that recently received what Nick describes as an $11 million government grant to buy up as much domestic carbide as possible and keep it in American manufacturing. The major toolmakers all have their own buyback programs too. Kennametal, Sandvik, Seco. They work, but the model is the same: ship your material out and wait on a check for 15 to 30 days. With prices moving the way they are, the number you agreed to when you shipped is not the same number when the check clears. JC Metals shows up with their own scales, weighs everything in front of you, and pays you that day. Cash, wire, Zelle, ACH, whatever you want. The Geopolitics of Scrap China controls about 85 percent of the world’s tungsten carbide supply and has been cutting off exports. Foreign buyers have been approaching American shops directly, offering 30 to 40 percent more per pound to ship the material back overseas. Nick says he outbid one of those buyers last month, knowing he would lose money doing it, because he didn’t want the material leaving the country. Tungsten carbide is a core component of armor-piercing ammunition, from rifle rounds to tank rounds. It’s also used in nuclear weapons casing. Until this interview I knew tungsten carbide was a big deal for manufacturers. I had no idea about the national security ramifications. Changing the Scrapper Stigma My great grandfather was in the scrap metal business. One reason my grandfather went into used machinery instead was that he found the scrap business unsavory, manipulating scales, shady deals. When we had a warehouse it wasn’t uncommon for scrappers to pull up in a truck and steal from Graff-Pinkert. Nick and Joey bring their own scales so there’s no question about the weight. The company name, JC Metals, stands for Jesus Christ Metals, a nod to the faith that carried them through Jack’s illness. Jack Stevens, Nick’s son, is ten months cancer free. Question: What do you do with your scrap carbide?

Tungsten is something of a paradox. It has the highest tensile strength of any pure element, making it extremely difficult to pull apart. But the Mead Metal website notes, “In terms of impact strength, tungsten is weak—it’s a brittle metal known to shatter on impact.” It’s fascinating that tungsten, the strongest natural metal, is also so weak and brittle. Human beings display a similar characteristic. Though capable of great strength both physically and mentally, we’re easily crushed under the weight of this fallen, broken world. Paul experienced this personally. In 2 Corinthians 11, he described experiences that overwhelmed him (vv. 23-29). But God encouraged him: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul resolved, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Earlier in 2 Corinthians, Paul had written, “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed” (4:8). There’s hope, even though the strongest child of God knows all too well that this world is simply too much for us. We’re happily dependent on the strength of His grace if we are to endure. May we, like Paul, embrace our weaknesses so God’s power can carry us through.

Brett Marsh, President and CEO of Spartan Metals (TSX-V: W) (OTCQB: SPRMF) (FSE: J03) joins us for a comprehensive overview of the exploration and development work on tap for this year in this tungsten-focused Company.  Their team has secured two key critical minerals projects in two well-established and stable mining jurisdictions in the Western United States; with an emphasis on building a portfolio of diverse strategic defense minerals such as Tungsten, Molybdenum, Rubidium, Antimony, Beryllium and Fluorspar.   Spartan's high quality project portfolio includes an option to earn 100% of the Victorio Tungsten-Molybdenum Project in New Mexico and the 100% owned Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project in Nevada. Victorio hosts the largest tungsten resource in the United States and contains significant concentrations of beryllium and fluorspar, while the Eagle Project consists of the highest-grade historic tungsten resource in the USA which includes significant under-defined resources consisting of: high-grade silver; rubidium; antimony; bismuth; indium; as well as precious and base metals.   The Company is working towards an update to the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and also to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) at the Victorio Project in New Mexico.   This will involve reinterpretation of over 100 drill holes, including the relogging of some holes that were not included in the prior resource, and adjust parameters in consideration of current metals prices.  There will also be a 3,000 meter drill program at the Eagle Project in Nevada, following up on extensive rock chip and soil samples at the Tungstonia target.   Brett shares his geological experience after 25 years in the industry as well as prior work applying for government grants that will be germane for sourcing potential funds earmarked for critical minerals.   The company is cashed up and fully funded for their work programs this year, and has continued to strengthen their team.   If you have any follow up questions for Brett regarding Spartan Metals, then please email those in to us at Fleck@kereport.com or  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Spartan Metals at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares in the market at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Spartan Metals   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.

American Tungsten is positioning itself as the only near-term tungsten producer based in the U.S. CEO Ali Haji spoke to Mining Stock Daily. The company is targeting tailings reprocessing from its IMA Mine by year-end of 2026. Commercial production is slated for 2027. The company is reprocessing high-grade historical tailings containing roughly 258,000 to 271,000 tonnes at an average grade of 0.15% WO₃, with silver credits adding to the economics.

American Resources Corp CEO Mark Jensen joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a significant technical breakthrough involving the separation and purification of tungsten from mined material supplied by international mining partners. Through its subsidiary ReElement Technologies, the company has successfully processed tungsten concentrate into refined tungsten material with purity levels approaching 99.9%, marking an important milestone for the domestic critical minerals sector. Jensen explained that ReElement successfully converted tungsten concentrate grading roughly 28% tungsten into a refined product capable of reaching commercial-grade purity. The achievement positions the company among a limited number of organizations believed to possess demonstrated domestic capabilities for refining tungsten in the United States. The accomplishment also highlights the effectiveness of ReElement's multi-mineral, multi-feedstock refining platform, which is designed to process and refine a range of strategic materials. The company views the development as a meaningful step toward strengthening domestic and allied supply chains for critical minerals. Tungsten has become increasingly important because of its role across numerous industrial and defense applications, yet the United States remains highly dependent on foreign-controlled supply sources. Jensen noted that ReElement's refining technology has now demonstrated the ability to purify tungsten from mined concentrate to approximately 99.9%+ purity levels, potentially helping reduce reliance on overseas processing capabilities. American Resources also indicated that tungsten processing will play an important role in the buildout of its planned Marion facility. The successful demonstration creates a pathway toward scaling commercial tungsten refining capacity as customer demand grows and could support future prepayments, supply agreements, and broader commercial partnerships. Tungsten is considered one of the world's most strategically important industrial materials due to its unique physical properties, including exceptional hardness, high density, extremely high melting point, and heat resistance. These characteristics make it essential for applications ranging from armor-piercing systems, aerospace technologies, and military electronics to advanced manufacturing, machine tooling, and high-performance industrial equipment. As demand for critical minerals continues to rise, increasing domestic processing capability could become a key component of strengthening supply chain security and supporting broader industrial development. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #ReElementTechnologies #ReElement #Tungsten #CriticalMinerals #MiningNews #DefenseIndustry #SupplyChain #AdvancedManufacturing #USMining #StrategicMetals

rWotD Episode 3272: Tungsten disulfide Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Sunday, 19 April 2026, is Tungsten disulfide.Tungsten disulfide is an inorganic chemical compound composed of tungsten and sulfur with the chemical formula WS2. This compound is part of the group of materials called the transition metal dichalcogenides. It occurs naturally as the rare mineral tungstenite. This material is a component of certain catalysts used for hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrification.WS2 adopts a layered structure similar, or isotypic with MoS2, instead with W atoms situated in trigonal prismatic coordination sphere (in place of Mo atoms). Owing to this layered structure, WS2 forms non-carbon nanotubes, which were discovered after heating a thin sample of WS2 in 1992.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:02 UTC on Sunday, 19 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Tungsten disulfide on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Salli.

In this Company Update, I am joined by Mike Burke, Director and VP of Corporate Development at Sitka Gold (TSX.V: SIG | OTCQB: SITKF | FRA: 1RF). Mike provides a comprehensive breakdown of the newly analyzed tungsten data and how it integrates into the existing gold resource at the Rhosgobel gold deposit.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes back John Feneck to the show. John is CEO of the Feneck Consulting Group. In this in-depth discussion, Feneck shares insights into critical minerals, defense metals, and investment opportunities across various sectors. John is particularly bullish on tungsten, highlighting that China currently produces about 81% of the world’s tungsten supply, creating significant potential for Western mining companies. Feneck specifically recommends two companies as promising tungsten-focused investments. He notes the critical mineral space is receiving substantial government attention, with the US dedicating $112 billion to support critical mineral development. The geopolitical landscape, particularly tensions with China and ongoing conflicts, further underscore the importance of diversifying mineral supply chains. In the silver market, Feneck maintains an optimistic outlook. He currently holds an 18% portfolio position in silver and suggests the metal has significant upside potential. Regarding gold, Feneck believes there’s still substantial room for growth. Major banks like JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs are maintaining forecasts between $5,500 and $6,000, indicating continued confidence in the sector. The discussion also touches on broader market dynamics, including potential sector rotation away from technology and AI stocks. Feneck emphasizes the importance of understanding market volatility and being prepared for potential short-term pullbacks.

Oliver Frisen, CEO of Guardian Metal Resources, joins to discuss their upsized U.S. IPO and the two tungsten mines they're looking to create in the U.S. within the next three years. China, Russia, and North Korea make up about 90% of tungsten mining right now. The metal is used for autos, in the aerospace sector, and many other critical areas. He warns that a lot of manufacturing could have to stop due to the lack of the mineral if the U.S. can't find its own domestic supply quickly.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this episode, Argus explores the forces behind the dramatic surge in global tungsten prices. What began with Chinese export controls has deepened into a structural supply squeeze, leaving both domestic and international consumers struggling with tight availability. Our experts discuss how mining constraints, shifting demand dynamics and limited substitution options are shaping one of the most volatile critical mineral markets of 2026. Covered in this episode: How ageing mines, limited upstream investment and reduced output have created a structural shortage in Chinese tungsten supply The impact of China's export controls on global availability — and why its domestic market is now feeling the squeeze as intensely as overseas buyers Whether substitution with molybdenum, niobium, titanium or ceramics can meaningfully reduce demand for tungsten carbide and mill products The limits of recycling in Europe and North America — and the scope for China and Japan to expand recycling to ease supply constraints When global tungsten prices might peak, how long historically high levels may persist, and how new mine capacity from South Korea, Kazakhstan and Europe could reshape the market from 2027 onward

What happens when the noise around AI starts to drown out the actual business value it is meant to deliver? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Adam Field, Chief AI and Product Officer at Tungsten Automation, fresh from the conversations unfolding at Davos. While headlines continue to celebrate agentic AI and sweeping automation claims, Adam offered a grounded perspective shaped by decades of experience turning AI pilots into measurable, ROI-driven deployments. His view is simple. The hype cycle may be accelerating, but many organizations still struggle with the fundamentals. Adam described a common boardroom dynamic. "What do we want? AI. What do we want it to do? We're not sure." That pressure to move fast often collides with a deeper reality. Software has shifted from deterministic to probabilistic. Leaders who grew up expecting the same inputs to always produce the same outputs now face systems that behave differently by design. Measuring value in that environment requires a different mindset. One of the most compelling ideas in our conversation was Adam's concept of "boring AI." While splashy announcements about replacing hundreds of employees grab attention, he argues that real returns often come from quieter use cases. At Tungsten Automation, that means intelligent document processing, extracting trusted, AI-ready data from the 80 percent of enterprise information that is unstructured. Contracts, invoices, transcripts, compliance paperwork. The work may not trend on social media, but it saves time, improves accuracy, and fits directly into daily workflows. We also explored accountability. AI can compress output, but it concentrates responsibility. When generative tools make architectural or compliance decisions, the liability does not shift to the model. Organizations remain accountable for privacy, ethics, and customer trust. Adam shared his own experience rebuilding a legacy application in days using AI code generation, only to discover licensing and compliance nuances that required human judgment. The lesson was clear. AI amplifies capability, yet human oversight remains essential. For leaders searching for signals that an AI strategy will actually deliver long-term returns, Adam pointed to two patterns from the small percentage of projects that succeed. First, integration into daily workflows drives adoption. Second, partnering with trusted vendors often reduces risk compared to attempting everything in-house. In a world flooded with open-source experiments and "X is dead" headlines, discipline and focus still matter. Tungsten Automation has spent four decades evolving alongside automation technologies, previously known as Kofax. Today, the company applies large language models and agentic workflows to transform unstructured data into decision-ready insights across finance, logistics, banking, and insurance. It is a reminder that the future of AI may be less about replacing people and more about removing friction so humans can do the work they were actually hired to do. So as AI investment continues to grow and pressure for returns intensifies, the question becomes harder to ignore. Are we chasing the headlines, or are we building systems that quietly deliver value where it counts? Useful Links Connect with Adam Field Learn more about Tungsten Automation Upcoming Events

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, Supercycle Investor, Resource Trader, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to provide his outlook on the valuations of gold, silver, antimony, and tungsten stocks when contrasted against the volatility we've seen in the metals over the last couple weeks and months.   Sean remains bullish for medium-term and longer-term in the precious metals, because all the fundamental macroeconomic and geopolitical factors are still in place and haven't changed.    However, after the wild price volatility in both directions for gold and silver in January and early February, he believes that we are likely now going to trend sideways in a price range for the near-term; basing for a while before the next move to the upside. He's recently taken some solid profits in silver stocks, since he expects further sector consolidation. Sean noted how the Chinese policy and trends in physical precious metals markets have had an outsized effect, sending prices in the precious metals first higher, and then were a big catalyst for the corrective moves lower in the metal, leading the pricing moves that the western exchanges then followed.  Despite harvesting gains in other silver stocks, he is considering getting back into First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: AG) for their production profile and strong anticipated revenues and free cash flows from Q4 heading into Q1.   With regards to critical minerals, Sean remains quite interested in the metals of strategic importance to the US and the world at large, like rare earths, uranium, antimony, and tungsten.   We reviewed the big news out this week that Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS) announced it has entered into a joint venture with United States Antimony (NYSE American: UAMY) to build a new antimony processing facility at the Galena Silver Mine in Idaho. He likes this partnership since these companies are actually producing and processing antimony and have the US government as potential partner to sell to. Sean is not really interested in the many other exploration stocks that now claim they have exposure to antimony too, because their projects are simply not close to producing this defense metal anywhere in the near-term. The one exception would be the quality and advanced stage of the project that Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) has recently gotten permitted, and that a fellow contributor at Weiss Ratings has provided a research report on. With regards to tungsten, Sean has had his subscribers positioned in Almonty Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII) (ASX: AII) for exposure to this defense metal, in a Canadian company, operating in Asia, but listed on the big board on the US Nasdaq exchange.     Click here to follow along with Sean's work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends   Click here to learn more about Resource Trader   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.

In this episode we chat to Craig Bradshaw, Managing Director of EQ Resources, a company that has become one of the most talked-about names in the tungsten space.   After nearly two decades working overseas, he's now back in Australia and back in the mining industry at a time when critical minerals and geopolitics are firmly in the spotlight.   EQ Resources operates across Spain and Australia, is already producing, and has seen its market capitalisation grow from under $100 million to over $600 million in a relatively short period. Meanwhile, tungsten prices have surged dramatically, and governments globally are paying closer attention to secure supply chains. We talk about Craig's return to Australia, EQ's journey and challenges, their assets, what's driving the tungsten market, and what the future looks like for EQ Resources. KEY TAKEAWAYS The tungsten market is currently experiencing a surge in prices, driven by a supply-demand imbalance. China dominates the market, supplying 83-85% of the world's tungsten, while geopolitical tensions and increased defence spending are further straining supply. EQ Resources operates two key assets: Barruecopardo in Spain and Carbine in Australia. Both assets have significant historical production and potential for resource expansion, with ongoing improvements in recovery rates due to advanced sorting technology. EQ Resources utilises proprietary sorting technology that allows for a 90% rejection rate of waste while achieving a 99% recovery of ore. This technology enhances the efficiency and profitability of their operations. The company aims to increase production significantly, targeting an annual output of 3,000 to 4,000 tonnes of contained tungsten by mid-2026.  BEST MOMENTS "The market is short of tungsten. We're on a trajectory that's going to take us to be the number one producer in the rest of the world by the end of 2026." "If it wasn't for the sorters, the sorters are the differentiator that makes our operations viable." We've got a number of customers who are looking for increased production. We've got the ability to double the production at our carbine asset."

Stijn Schmitz welcomes John Feneck to the show. John Feneck is CEO Feneck Consulting Group. The podcast discussion centers on gold markets, investment strategies, and critical mineral opportunities. Feneck provides insights into the current gold market, noting that while there have been recent price fluctuations, major banks like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and HSBC are bullish, with price targets ranging from $4,900 to $5,000 for the next year. Discussing gold miners, Feneck highlights that the GDX ETF has broken out to new all-time highs, with producers like Newmont seeing significant growth. He believes junior miners still represent substantial value, with the GDXJ ETF trading well below its 2011-2012 peak. His investment approach combines value investing with technical analysis, focusing on a diversified portfolio of 60-70 stocks to manage risk. Feneck is particularly enthusiastic about critical minerals, especially tungsten and antimony, driven by geopolitical tensions and supply chain concerns. He sees significant opportunity in companies like Guardian Metals and Triumph Gold, which have strategic positions in these critical minerals. His investment philosophy emphasizes understanding company management, project fundamentals, and potential near-term catalysts. The conversation also touched on the challenges of mineral exploration and development, particularly in the United States, where permitting processes can take years. Feneck believes there's growing political momentum to accelerate critical mineral development, with initiatives like Trump's executive orders aimed at reducing dependence on Chinese mineral supplies. Through his consulting group, Feneck offers investment research services, including real-time updates, CEO interviews, and portfolio insights. He emphasizes the importance of active management, conducting extensive research, and maintaining flexibility in investment approach. His track record includes impressive returns, with his current portfolio up 118% for the year, demonstrating the potential of strategic investing in the mining and metals sector.
