Podcasts about Tungsten

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

In the episode, we chat with Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal Resources, a UK based development company focused on critical and precious metals exploration. The company owns the flagship Pilot Mountain Project in Nevada, which is believed to host the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on American soil. Oliver is a geologist and has over 10 year’s experience in both the mining and oil and gas sectors and has worked in Canada, the United States, Australia, and Africa. He founded Guardian Metal Resources in 2021 and led the IPO in May 2023, and we discuss the history and background of the company, the tungsten market, the uses of tungsten, Nevada as a mining jurisdiction, recycling of tungsten and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Guardian Metal Resources is primarily focused on tungsten exploration and development, with its flagship Pilot Mountain project in Nevada believed to host the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit in the U.S. The company has also acquired another significant asset, Tempaiute, which was formerly the largest tungsten-producing mine in the 1980s. The tungsten market is currently experiencing tight supply due to geopolitical factors, with China, Russia, and North Korea controlling approximately 90% of global tungsten production. Recent export restrictions from China have further intensified the need for domestic sources of tungsten in the U.S. While defence applications drive short-term demand for tungsten, the metal is also crucial in various high-tech industries, including aerospace, mining, and renewable energy technologies. Its unique properties, such as high melting point and density, make it irreplaceable in many applications. Although recycling efforts for tungsten are increasing, they currently supply only about 20-25% of annual consumption in the U.S. The growing demand, particularly from defense sectors, means that new mine supply is essential to meet the shortfall. BEST MOMENTS "We are firmly positioned, we believe, as the leader in U.S.-focused tungsten exploration and development." "When Russia invaded Ukraine, it became clear that the Western world needed safe domestic sources of these important input metals." "The U.S. has no domestic supply. It hasn't mined any primary tungsten for over 10 years now." "It's a really unique metal because it has the highest melting point of any metal on the planet." "We're seeing a lot of investors pick up on this... critical metals is such an important global narrative right now."

Trigg Minerals Executive Chairman Timothy Marrision joined Steve Darling from Proactive's OTC studio in New York City to announce the discovery of high-grade antimony and tungsten mineralization beneath the primary Wild Cattle Creek deposit. The company has just starting trading on the OTCQB market under the symbol TMGLF. Paterson said recent assays at Wild Cattle Creek confirmed grades of 2.14% tungsten (Hole 10WRD16) and 27.6% antimony (Hole 10WRD16W), with a parallel structure averaging 13% antimony and 1.03% tungsten. Morrison highlighted that drilling results indicate an underlying gold system and significant mineral enrichment within the stockwork alteration of the Wild Cattle Creek deposit. This discovery suggests that further exploration could unlock additional value, similar to known deposits such as Hillgrove and Costerfield. The identification of tungsten within the deposit opens the door for expanded drilling programs targeting tungsten-rich zones. Trigg Minerals is also considering resource re-estimation to incorporate tungsten and gold as by-products, pending further drilling results. Additionally, the company plans to re-evaluate metallurgical recovery processes to optimize tungsten extraction alongside antimony. Recognizing tungsten at potentially economic grades increases the likelihood of additional metal credits, enhancing the project's overall economic feasibility. Morrison highlighted the growing strategic importance of antimony, a critical mineral used in military applications, semiconductors, solar panels, and as a fire retardant. As a Western source of antimony, Trigg Minerals aims to address supply chain disruptions caused by China's export ban on antimony products to the US, which has significantly increased global prices. #proactiveinvestors #triggminerals #otcqb #tmglf #asz #tmg

This Tungsten CEO Tells You Why It's Better To Be Lucky Than Smart. Lewis Black, CEO of AlmontyGuest:Lewis Black, Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Almonty Industries (Ticker: OTCMKTS: ALMTF)Website:https://almonty.com/Bio:Lewis Black was born in London and educated in traditional British private schools. He earned a BA in management and technology from Manchester University and took a job at a global insurance company upon graduation. He found the industry stifling and left after a year to move to Australia where he took a job in a clothing factory. When a friend asked him to help run a tungsten mine in Thailand, Black jumped at the opportunity. He eventually led sales and marketing for SC Mining Tungsten in Thailand and served as chairman and CEO of Primary Metals Inc. Black founded Almonty Industries in 2011 as a Canadian corporation but recently began the process of moving Almonty's incorporation to the US, specifically the state of Delaware.Black has overseen Almonty's growth to the world's largest tungsten mining company outside of China, which controls 80% of global tungsten supply. When China banned exports of tungsten to the U.S. recently, Black was quoted in world media saying his U.S buyers were “shocked” because China's move directly threatens American industry and national defense.Almonty offers a solution: its Sangdong Tungsten Mine in South Korea, the world's largest, will begin producing 2,500 tons annually by April, doubling to 5,000 by 2026. Black can break down what China's tungsten export ban means for the U.S. economy and national security.

Coffee with Samso Episode 200 is a David and Goliath story that could be a second chance for those investors who felt they missed out on past opportunities. The Greatland Gold Plc (AIM: GGP) is the classic case of the need to understand the content of management and the technical aspects of a mineral resource project. Like all investment partitioners, their main challenge is hearing fellow participants overlook the essential elements of comprehending and applying the principles of First Principal's business. I have been in the industry since 1992, and over the past three decades, I've learnt that understanding the sector requires insights from a geologist's perspective, an investor's viewpoint, and those who influence the markets, such as stakeholders (brokers, major investors, and vendors of the company and projects). It's crucial to gather wisdom from experienced individuals and recognise that no two operations, projects, mineral orebodies, or extraction methods are identical. This is evident in the many success stories that have emerged from so-called "unloved" and "impossible" projects that seemed doomed from the start. The list of companies that have been created from these unloved "investment concepts" or the "too Small for Majors" are clearly exemplified recently by the following list below; Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX: NST), Spartan Resources Limited (ASX: SPR), Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD), Westgold Resources Limited (ASX: WGX), Gold Road Resources Limited (ASX: GOR), There are numerous others to include on that list, and the surprising fact is that ASX retail investors are slow to invest in these stocks. The issue for these investors is that by the time these stocks gain attention, the capital appreciation for their type of portfolio has decreased, leaving opportunities to institutions and more "sophisticated" investors seeking consistent income generation. Why do I still see Greatland Gold Plc as a viable Proposition for the Retail Investor? Firstly, they are largely unknown to the sector. Currently, they have an AUD $2B market capitalisation hidden on the London Stock Exchange AIM Market platform. If you click on that link, you will see the unimpressive on the London Stock Exchange. What is an AUD billion dollar company hidden in this nature? The answer to that question is one of the first points I make in the Coffee with Samso with Shaun Day, the Managing Director of Greatland Gold. The company is an overnight success that has taken a decade of hard work and sweaty rattling of the tin to keep the doors from shutting. This episode of Coffee with Samso is a perfect companion to our first story on Greatland Gold we published on July 2, 2022, entitled "The Havieron Gold - Copper Discovery in Patterson Range, Western Australia". That was now almost 3 years ago, and today, they are a fully fledged miner with the words "Undervalued- Underrated" written all over the story. For those who felt that they have not caught a good investment in a raging bull gold market that seems to have no short-term end, especially in Australian dollars. This will have to be a must-see Coffee with Samso before you begin your process of DYOR. I cannot emphasise the need to spend good quality time to DYOR for Greatland Gold, which is still not listed on the ASX. That will come in June, so better get your knee pads from Bunnings and start resorting to begging, as I am 100 percent sure there will be limited shares available to the common man when their IPO comes around. Chapters: 01:28 Start 02:34 Who is Shaun Day? 03:45 How did Greatland buy back the assets? 05:39 Composition of the acquisition price paid by Greatland Gold. 07:34 Significance of Havieron being next to Telfer 09:04 Where is the uplift of Telfer and Havieron for Greatland Gold. 10:31 Reason for the cost of Telfer 13:14 An explanation to the concept of Vertical Ounce? 15:20 Breaking down the potential value of the Telfer Operations. 20:05 The size of the processing capabilities of the Telfer/Havieron Operations. 25:33 Thoughts on the future of mining costs 28:33 Hemi vs Havieron 31:17 What is the status of the ASX Listing ? 39:11 Tungsten deposit 46:57 Takeaway from the Greatland story 50:27 Closing remarks 52:15 Conclusion About Shaun Day Shaun is Managing Director of Greatland Gold plc. Shaun has over 25 years of experience in executive and commercial roles across mining, infrastructure and investment banking. Prior to joining the Company, Shaun was Chief Financial Officer of Northern Star Resources Limited, an ASX100 company and a global-scale Australian gold producer. Prior to this, Shaun was Chief Financial Officer of SGX-listed Sakari Resources Plc, which operated multiple mines ahead of its takeover. Shaun is a Non-executive Chairman of Blue Ocean Monitoring Limited and a member of the Senate of the University of Western Australia. About Greatland Gold Greatland's operating asset is its 100%-owned Telfer gold-copper mine, one of Australia's largest gold-copper mining complexes with significant established processing and infrastructure. Greatland's development asset is its 100% owned Havieron development project, a high-grade gold-copper deposit located 45km west of Telfer that will utilise the Telfer infrastructure to process Havieron ore. In addition to Telfer and Havieron, Greatland holds interests in a significant exploration portfolio, the focus of which is the relatively underexplored surrounding Paterson Province. Ownership of the Telfer infrastructure greatly enhances the potential value of exploration success in Greatland's Paterson exploration portfolio. Strategy of Greatland Gold Greatland aspires to become a profitable multi-mine resources company by focusing on the responsible and sustainable discovery, development, extraction, processing and sale of precious and base metals. Greatland's strategy to achieve this growth is built on four horizons: Profitable operation of the Telfer gold-copper mine and pursuit of Telfer mine life extension; Continued advancement of the world-class Havieron gold-copper project through to production; Exploration to identify new precious and base metals deposits, with a focus on the Paterson Province surrounding Telfer; and Disciplined assessment and, where compelling, pursuit of new investment and acquisition opportunities in the resources sector. Greatland has assembled a highly experienced team that is committed to delivering our growth strategy. The senior team is supported by a Board with extensive expertise and experience in the global resources sector. Greatland's leadership team has a track record of success and value creation for shareholders.

Elemental Altus Royalties has acquired two new royalties, including one on the MacTung tungsten project in Yukon. The company sees the strategic importance of tungsten as the West looks to diversify its sources outside of China. The MacTung project has had years of permitting and development work, making it a clear pathway to production. The Cantung projectis seen as a non-core asset but still has potential value. The payback period for the royalties is expected to be within the first two years of production.

Fred Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus Royalties (TSX.V:ELE) (OTCQX:ELEMF), joins us to review the recent acquisition of 2 brownfields tungsten royalties, as well as a royalty partner update on the Diba Mine nearing first production.     In the news released to the market on July 22nd, Elemental Altus Royalties has acquired two existing royalties from Cornish Metals Inc. including an uncapped 4% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Mactung Project in Canada currently being advanced by Fireweed Metals Corp, and a 1% NSR royalty on the high-grade Cantung Project, a formerly operating tungsten mine in Canada.   Mactung, operated and owned by Fireweed Metals, is one of the largest, high-grade tungsten deposits in the world and one of the few high-grade tungsten deposits outside of China, that also has the Environmental Assessment completed as part of previous permitting. Fireweed Metals, a well-financed, Lundin Group company, has an experienced management team with a track record of securing funding for mine development.  The next key catalyst on the Project will be a new PEA later in 2024, building on the updated Mineral Resource Estimate in 2023.   Fred also briefly reviews the overlooked value in the previously operating Cantung Project, and why their team is bullish on the fundamentals of the tungsten markets as a strategic metal of importance.   Next we got a royalty partner update on the expected maiden production from the Diba Gold Project, operated by Allied Gold Corp (TSX: AAUC). Allied Gold has announced that their 12,000 meter drilling program is targeting extending the Mineral Resources at Diba. This is significant as the exploration program is designed to prioritize near-mine oxides and comes on top of the previously announced initial Proven and Probable Reserves of 280,000 ounces of gold at 1.43 g/t within the larger 377,000 ounces of gold in Measured and Indicated Resources that was announced in February 2024.   Diba is expected to materially contribute to production at Sadiola from mid-2024 and Allied have fast-tracked it into production this year, while simultaneously undertaking aggressive exploration to expand the Resource. Elemental Altus owns a 3% NSR royalty on the first 226,000 ounces produced at Diba and an uncapped 2% NSR royalty on all subsequent production. The consideration also included multiple production-based milestones totalling up to US$6 million and for which the Company has received the first US$1 million with further payments anticipated this year.   If you have any follow up questions for Fred regarding Elemental Altus Royalties, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Elemental Altus Royalties at the time of this recording.   Click here to view recent news on the Elemental Altus Royalties website

Taylor Sulik is trying to solve a problem that we all face, but nobody wants to do ... revive domestic US critical mineral production. And he's doing it with Tungsten (among other metals). This podcast explores Taylor's path towards starting a mining company, how he's built his from scratch, and his plans for future production/development. I loved this episode. Taylor's story is one every person should hear. He's doing the hard work while the rest of us, myself included, simply talk about it. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/valuehive/support

Tom opened the show by surprising Jill with a bonus recording-day treat: Funyuns. After determining that there is, in fact, very little actual onion in Funyuns, Tom and Jill turned their attention to automotive matters. Tom read through a list of listener-submitted favorite model names, including picks from regular contributors, among them Damon Bell, Sam Fiorani, and Brendan Appel. Jill then shared her impressions of the updated-for-2025 Ram 1500 pickup truck. Jill was generally impressed by the new truck, but had some reservations regarding the new $90,000 Tungsten trim level. In the second segment Tim Esterdahl of Pickup Truck + SUV Talk joined the show to expand on the Ram 1500 conversation. Tim talked about Ram's move away from the popular Hemi V8 engine to the new Hurricane 6-cylinder powerplant. Tim believes most shoppers will be well served by the new Ram engine lineup. Listen in for complete details. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Turbo or No Turbo” quiz, which featured an Indian-food bonus question. All Business.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/534  Presented by: NR Adventures, Stonefly Nets, Smitty's Fly Box Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors        Welcome to our latest episode featuring Jake Villwock, author of the book Smallmouth Bass Flies. In this episode, we will take you on a journey to Pennsylvania for a typical bass fishing trip with Jake and his team. He will share his techniques and tips on how to catch smallmouth bass, and his gear set up when bass fishing. Jake also gives insight into the flies he uses when bass fishing, so whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, you won't want to miss this episode! Episode Chapters with Jake Villwock on Smallmouth Bass Flies 1:34 - Jake shares with us his first memory of fly fishing. His first fish on a fly was a blue gill and his second was a striper. Stripers and saltwater have always been one of his favorite things to target. 3:52 - He has been known for smallmouth bass fishing. He wrote a book titled Smallmouth Bass Flies - Top to Bottom. 5:02 - He talks about the similarities between smallmouth bass and trout. 7:24 - Currently, he operates in South Central Pennsylvania, mainly guiding in Juniata and Susquehanna. Their bass season is from late March to the end of October. 9:41 - Along with other guides, he also guides for steelhead fishing in Lake Eerie and up in New York. He also describes how they do bass fishing. 12:30 - He describes a typical bass fishing trip with them in their area. They meet their clients in a quaint diner called Thompsontown Corner Deli to have breakfast. He also describes the lunch they serve on their trips. 17:20 - We talk about drinking in guiding trips. He mentions the brand Athletic which sells non-alcoholic beer. 19:50 - He explains why big bass in the springtime is very aggressive and shares some tips on how to catch them during this time. He says that keeping yourself low and slow is how you will catch them. 24:15 - We talk about crayfish which is a large portion of the smallmouth's diet in the summertime. He describes his setup with a crayfish fly pattern. 28:28 - He describes how he uses the tip of the fly line to his advantage. He always casts slightly upstream to have a little bit of an angle. Paying attention to the tip of the line to manage the speed of your retrieve is very important. 33:40 - We dig into the fly patterns he uses. The size of the claws of the crayfish is very important to consider. He further describes how he ties his crayfish flies and the materials he uses. 38:49 - One of his favorite flies for the springtime it's still cold is Russ Maddin's circus peanut. We had Russ on the podcast in episode 253. 39:55 - He tells us his signature flies. You can also see how he ties his flies through his YouTube at Relentless TV. He recently signed a contract with Montana Fly Company (MFC). We talked about MFC in episode 531 with Jake Chutz. 41:30 - He walks us through how he targets a fish in top water and subsurface. 47:06 - He also gives tips on finding a fish depending on the season when you're new in the area. June and October are the months when it's hard to find fish. The best thing to do is to start on the banks and float the river when it's low and clear. 51:40 - He gives more tips on his setup, particularly lines. He gives a shoutout to Scientific Angler for their amazing triple-density lines. He also mentions their Stillwater Hover. 55:03 - He mentions the tungsten beads which are good for when you can't see the fish. 56:30 - He usually sees bigger fish during the summertime when the water is clear. He also explains his theory of how the color of the fish tells you if it's ready to eat. 59:57 - When he's bait fishing, he uses a leader that is six to eight feet. For cray fishing and dry fly fishing, he uses a 10 to 12-ft leader. 1:00:42 - He gives valuable tips on casting. When it comes to cray fishing, the more perfect you make the cast, the worse it's going to be. 1:03:10 - He talks about catching steelhead vs big bass in the Lake Eerie. 1:06:00 - We do the Fly Shop Shout-out segment. He mentions the TCO Fly Shop which has multiple shops in Pennsylvania. For those who want to get a trip with Jake's team, they can book with TCO. 1:07:45 - His boat is a Clacka HeadHunter Skiff II. He also uses an NRS Raft in the spring. 1:08:13 - He gives one last tip for bass fishing. 1:09:29 - He leaves us with a funny story about that time when he fell off the boat while guiding.
