Interview with Sam Lee, President & CEO of NorthIsle Copper & Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/northisle-copper-gold-tsxvncx-long-life-high-margin-canadian-project-6739Recording date: 5th June 2025Northisle Copper & Gold is positioning itself as a premier copper-gold development story, combining exceptional project economics with strategic board additions that signal institutional credibility. Led by President and CEO Sam Lee, the company has assembled a world-class team to advance what it characterizes as an extraordinary project trading at significant discount to its underlying value.The company's preliminary economic assessment reveals compelling fundamentals: a CAD$2 billion NPV after tax with 45% internal rate of return over 29 years at conservative metal prices. At current spot prices of $4.60 copper and $2,900 gold, the economics expand to a remarkable CAD$3.7 billion NPV. Despite these metrics, Northisle trades at approximately $250 million market capitalization, representing just 0.1 times net asset value.Strategic board appointments underscore the project's institutional appeal. Alex Davidson, a 30-year Barrick Gold executive vice president instrumental in identifying major global gold projects, brings unparalleled operational expertise. "If there's a major gold project in this world, Alex has touched it somehow," Lee noted. Complementing Davidson's experience, Dr. Pablo Mejia, former VP of Exploration at Ero Copper, contributes AI-driven geological analysis capabilities to unlock value from the project's extensive 60-year database.The company has engineered a phased development strategy that prioritizes high-grade, high-margin zones delivering 70% EBITDA margins. This approach, following the successful Teck Resources model, uses early gold production of 200,000 ounces annually to fund broader district development across a 35-kilometer porphyry system.Northisle's systematic exploration approach has delivered consistent results, with four consecutive phases generating a 3:1 return ratio—each $7 million drilling program translating to $25-30 million market capitalization increases. This disciplined execution, combined with strong political support for Canadian critical mineral development and strategic tidewater access on Vancouver Island, positions Northisle as a compelling investment opportunity in an increasingly strategic sector.View NorthIsle Copper & Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/northisle-copper-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Now into their third week as officially-sworn in members of Canada's 45th Parliament, newly elected Conservative MPs Tamara Kronis and Roman Baber are getting used to their new seats in the backbenches of the House of Commons. They have plenty in common: both trained as lawyers, grew up in Toronto, and, in the 2025 federal election, managed to flip their ridings blue for the first time in a decade. And on top of all that, both are the offspring of Jewish immigrant families, although Baber's Canadian passport is much more recent. This is Kronis's first time in political office, although she ran unsuccessfully for the Tories in the same Vancouver Island riding of Nanaimo—Ladysmith in the 2021 election. She comes from a prominent Conservative political family: her late father, Jules, was a party operative dating back to the days of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. Roman Baber represented the heavily Jewish Toronto riding of York Centre provincially from 2018 to 2022, during the first Doug Ford government in Ontario. Before throwing his hat into the ring federally, he ran unsuccessfully for the federal Conservative leadership, losing to his current boss, Pierre Poilievre. With Parliament having resumed May 26, these two newcomers have been learning the ropes of their new roles while navigating some historic moments. They met King Charles during his recent visit and dove headfirst into speaking up about housing affordability, the national drug-overdose crisis and important Jewish issues including antisemitism and the recent desecration of the national Holocaust monument. On today's episode of North Star (formerly The CJN Daily), Tamara Kronis and Roman Baber join to share what their first whirlwind weeks have been like. Related links Read more about Roman Baber's political career, including running for the leadership of the federal Conservative party in the election which Pierre Poilievre ultimately won in 2022 Hear Tamara Kronis explaining the International Court of Justice's 2024 hearing brought by South Africa against Israel for genocide.

Get ready for an inspiring journey into the heart of adventure and purpose on this episode of The Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast! Host Rick Saez sits down with legendary polar explorer, speaker, and activist Sunniva Sorby. From her early days trading a computer programming job in Norway for a wild leap into outdoor leadership, to groundbreaking expeditions across Antarctica and the Arctic, Sunniva shares how embracing risk and finding her "tribe" at A16 shaped her life's trajectory. Facebook   Twitter   Instagram Love the show? Subscribe,  rate, review, and share! Sign up for my Newsletter  HERE I'd love to hear your feedback about the show! You can contact me here:  rick@ricksaez.com   From Boardroom to Blizzard: What Adventure Taught Me About Showing Up What Happened: I used to be a computer programmer in Norway. Yep—cubicles, keypads, and killer boredom. Until one day, I stumbled on a pamphlet during a visit to my mom in Montreal. It was for an outdoor leadership school in Alberta. A few weeks later, I'd quit my job, ditched the keyboard, and traded banking spreadsheets for snowshoes. That decision launched a life of adventure I never imagined—from working at A16, where I found my first “tribe,” to skiing across Antarctica, and even tracking a polar bear named Violet in the Arctic wilds. But here's what really shifted everything. After one particularly brutal expedition where I was sick, exhausted, and convinced I couldn't take one more step, I realized something that changed me forever: Strength isn't about pushing through until you collapse. It's about listening to your body, honoring your limits, and knowing when to ask for help. That moment stripped away my ego—and gave me something far more valuable: clarity. Principle: Too many of us think success means crossing the finish line—no matter the cost. But the truth is, the finish line isn't what matters most. It's who we become along the way. And if you're only measuring strength by how much you can endure, you're missing the deeper lesson adventure teaches: real courage is found in slowing down, tuning in, and showing up—again and again, even when it's hard. Transition: The problem is, most people wait for the "right time" to go after what they want. But that moment doesn't come with a red carpet. It often shows up disguised as fear, discomfort, or a tiny whisper that says: “There's more out there for you.” If you've ever felt stuck in your head, waiting for certainty before taking the next step—you're not alone. It's not that you're lazy or lacking discipline. You've just never been shown a different way to move forward that honors your humanity and your ambition. That's Why: That's why we recorded this episode. To remind you that the wild isn't just out there—it's in you. Whether you're chasing polar bears or your next big idea, your journey doesn't have to look like anyone else's. But it does have to start with one thing: action. Call to Action: Feel stuck in your own head and unsure how to take the next step? That uncertainty isn't a dead-end—it's your invitation. Tune in to this episode and learn how outdoor adventure teaches us to push past fear and step into purpose, one moment (and one polar bear) at a time.

This week, we're stepping off the garden path and into the wild. James Armitage, editor of The Plant Review, joins Gareth Richards to reflect on how a little wilderness can bring balance, biodiversity, and unexpected beauty, to even the most cultivated spaces. We begin with a tribute to the intrepid botanist John Watson, whose plant-hunting adventures in South America unearthed a treasure trove of wild flora. Plantsman Robert Rolfe shares stories of Watson's passion and the remarkable plants he helped bring into cultivation. Then, it's over to the Garry oak meadows of Vancouver Island, where nurserywoman Amy Sanderson and writer Eric Hsu are rethinking everything we thought we knew about camassias – revealing their surprising resilience in dry climates. Finally, we ascend to the Himalayas with botanist Richard Moore to meet the hardy Roscoea – a plant both wild and wonderful, whose taxonomic tale is as twisty as its mountain roots. All this, plus a call to action: find out how you can help protect community growing spaces by supporting the RHS-backed Space to Grow amendment in Parliament.

The Northwest Coast of North America is a treacherous place. Unforgiving coastlines, powerful currents, unpredictable weather, and features such as the notorious Columbia River bar have resulted in more than two thousand shipwrecks, earning the coastal areas of Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver Island the moniker “Graveyard of the Pacific.” Beginning with a Spanish galleon that came ashore in northern Oregon in 1693 and continuing into the recent past, Wrecked: Unsettling Histories from the Graveyard of the Pacific (University of Washington Press, 2025) by Dr. Coll Thrush includes stories of many vessels that met their fate along the rugged coast and the meanings made of these events by both Indigenous and settler survivors and observers.Commemorated in museums, historical markers, folklore, place-names, and the remains of the ships themselves, the shipwrecks have created a rich archive. Whether in the form of a fur-trading schooner that was destroyed in 1811, a passenger liner lost in 1906, or an almost-empty tanker broken on the shore in 1999, shipwrecks on the Northwest Coast opens up conversations about colonialism and Indigenous persistence. Dr. Thrush's retelling of shipwreck tales highlights the ways in which the three central myths of settler colonialism—the disappearance of Indigenous people, the control of an endlessly abundant nature, and the idea that the past would stay past—proved to be untrue. As a critical cultural history of this iconic element of the region, Wrecked demonstrates how the history of shipwrecks reveals the fraught and unfinished business of colonization on the Northwest Coast. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In the last chapter, you heard about Chimo, the young white orca, and her cousin Nootka, being moved to their new home: Sealand of the Pacific Aquarium in Oak Bay BC, on southern Vancouver Island, where they finally starting eating after a 24 day fast in 1970. In this chapter, you'll hear about Sealand's desperate attempt to feed the remaining three adult orcas left in the sea pen in Pedder Bay, all of whom fasted for much longer, and were suffering from starvation.

Unsere Redakteurin Miriam Menz begleitet die Höhlenforscherin Erin Bartlett auf Vancouver Island, einem der höhlenreichsten Gebiete Kanadas. Gemeinsam steigen sie hinab in eine verborgene Welt: finster, feucht und faszinierend.Erin erklärt, warum Höhlen nicht nur geologische Wunderkammern sind, sondern auch wertvolle Archive der Erdgeschichte, Rückzugsräume seltener Tiere, paläontologische Schatzkammern – und sensible Ökosysteme, deren Erkundung ebenso viel Respekt wie Neugier verlangt.Zwischen engen Durchgängen, jahrtausendealten Tropfsteinen und beeindruckender Stille erleben wir die Unterwelt als Lebensraum, Forschungsfeld und Abenteuer zugleich.

Saf Dhillon, President and CEO of Questcorp Mining (CSE: QQQ) (OTCBB: QQCMF) (FSE: D910), joins me for a comprehensive overview of their 2 key exploration projects, in Mexico and Vancouver Island respectively, the work program at each property for 2025, the experience of the management team, and the financial health and capital structure of the Company.   The flagship Project is the La Union Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico; currently under an option agreement to earn in 100% interest from Riverside Resources Inc., subject to a 2.5% NSR royalty, and by making cash payments of $100K; issuing in stages,19.9% of the issued and outstanding capital of the Company; and completing $5.5M in exploration expenditures over the next four years. Saf unpacks the terms of the news release from May 6, 2025, where the Company has issued 6,285,722 common shares in the capital of the Company, representing 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of May 20, 2025, to Riverside Resources Inc. and completed the first required payment of $25,000 CAD to Riverside.   The La Union Project is a carbonate replacement deposit (“CRD”) project, where mineralization occurs as polymetallic veins, replacement zones (mantos, chimneys), and shear zones with high-grade metal content.  Historical exploration work highlight grades of 59.4 grams per metric tonne (g/t) gold, 833 g/t silver, 11% zinc, 5.5% lead, 2.2% copper, along with significant hematite and manganese oxides, consistent with a CRD model.  The plan is to spend $1Million on the exploration program for this year, starting with sampling and geophysical surveys for targeting, and then to test those targets with a drill, where Riverside Resources will be the operator.   Next we shifted over to the The North Island Copper Property, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where the Company holds an option to acquire an undivided 100% interest in and to mineral claims totaling 1,168.09 hectares, and subject to a royalty obligation. Questcorp is focusing on the Marisa porphyry target in the west where a historic induced polarization (IP) survey and follow up drilling met with initial success. Two of the five holes drilled into the chargeability high intersected significant copper mineralization to depths of 80 metres.  After receiving the next set of permits in the coming month, then the summer exploration program will be announced.   We wrapped up with more background on the management team and board, discussed the capital recently raised to execute this year's work programs, and broke down the capital share structure.     If you have any questions for Saf regarding Questcorp Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.     Click here to follow the latest news from Questcorp Mining

Bert Terhart is an adventurer, sailor, and lifelong explorer who currently resides on a smaller island off Vancouver Island, Canada, a place with a surprisingly large population of 750,000. Originally from the prairies of Canada near Fargo, North Dakota, Bert grew up in a small, hardworking oil town, shaped by cold landscapes and a strong sense of community. His Dutch heritage, with a family background in the Merchant Marine, ignited his lifelong love of sailing. ⁣ Bert joined the Canadian Army at 17, attending the Canadian military college, the equivalent of West Point. He served in the Canadian Special Service Force, an elite unit trained alongside the U.S. military, and participated in intense Cold War-era training exercises. His military experience led him to reflect on the harsh realities of war, but he ultimately left the Army and pursued a career in oceanography after being disqualified from the Navy due to colorblindness. ⁣ A passion for the ocean, history, and exploration led Bert to retrace the routes of legendary explorers like Captain Cook and William Bligh, sailing over 50,000 nautical miles and navigating some of the most remote and challenging regions in the world, including the Arctic Circle and the Bering Sea. He is also known for his solo paddling expeditions across Canada and adventurous voyages in the Southern Ocean.

On the morning of June 30, 2024, at around 6:30 AM, 38-year-old Nicholas Marion left a property he was staying at in Youbou, British Columbia, to go for a walk. However, Nick never returned, and his phone was left behind, making it impossible to contact him. Nick, along with his wife Dory, had traveled to Youbou, a peaceful community nestled along the shores of Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island, for a music festival. What was supposed to be a weekend of fun quickly turned into a heart-wrenching mystery when Nick disappeared without a trace.When Nick's family, who live in the U.S., learned of his disappearance, they wasted no time in traveling to the area to join the search. What followed was an intense search effort that lasted for days, but despite their efforts, only a shirt was found, and no other signs of Nick were uncovered. Several eyewitnesses claimed to have seen Nick, but these sightings were ruled out or could not be confirmed.Now, nearly nine months later, the search is still ongoing. Nick's family remains desperate for any clue or piece of information that could help them understand what happened to him.If you have any information about Nicholas Marion's disappearance, please contact the Lake Cowichan RCMP Detachment at 250-749-6668 and reference file number 2024-1151.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
