Podcasts about VMS

In this episode, we have a returning guest who appeared in Jan 2025 (Episode 497), Juan Carlos, President and CEO of Canstar Resources, a TSX-Venture listed junior miner focused on mineral exploration in Newfoundland, Canada. Juan has 15 years of experience in executive management, capital markets, finance, and commercial and strategic development. Juan gives us an update on proceedings since we last spoke, their new JV agreement, VMS deposits, and why they are attractive propositions, their recently launched deep geophysics survey update, and discusses their unique board and what they bring to the company and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS CanStar Resources has entered a significant joint venture with VMS Mining Corporation, which involves a phased investment totalling $11.5 million for a 60% ownership stake in CanStar's VMS assets. This structure is designed to be non-dilutive for existing shareholders. The Buckins District in Newfoundland is historically significant for its high-grade VMS deposits. CanStar's projects, Buckins and Mary March, are located in this area, which has seen limited exploration using modern geophysical techniques, suggesting substantial untapped potential. CanStar is also exploring its Golden Bay project, which has significant antimony potential. Antimony is critical for military and high-tech applications, and its rising demand presents a strategic opportunity for the company. CanStar plans to advance its exploration programs at both the Buckins and Mary March projects, with ongoing geophysical surveys and drilling activities. The company aims to execute its strategy efficiently in 2025, leveraging its partnerships and expertise to drive discoveries. BEST MOMENTS "CanStar Resources is a TSX-V listed junior that's focused on transforming neglected mineral systems into strategic assets for the next supercycle." "This joint venture... is non-dilutive and it's serious capital in the ground on an accelerated basis, really looking for a tier one discovery." "VMS deposits are very interesting in part because they're polymetallic... they give you economic flexibility and exposure to not only critical metals, but also precious metals." "The best place to look for a new deposit is in the shadow of the headframe." "Antimony is a mineral that is absolutely critical for military and high technology applications."

Jon Kol is a Co-founder at Hyperlane, the open interoperability framework to connect anywhere onchain. Why you should listen Hyperlane is the “open interoperability framework” that lets any blockchain—whether an L1, rollup, app‑chain, or VM—talk to any other, permissionlessly. Think of it as the universal plumbing for cross‑chain apps, assets, and arbitrary messages, already live on 140+ chains and five VMs. At its core, Hyperlane uses Mailbox contracts on each chain as send/receive endpoints. When you dispatch a message, it's slotted into a Merkle tree; off‑chain relayers pick it up, bundle the proof, and submit it to the destination's Mailbox, where it's verified and delivered to your target contract Security is modular thanks to Interchain Security Modules (ISMs). You can choose default multisig sets, compose prebuilt ISMs, or even craft custom ones to suit your risk appetite. That means you decide how many validator signatures you need or even plug in your own validator network—no one‑size‑fits‑all guardrails here Beyond pure messaging, Hyperlane offers Warp Routes—its native, no‑slippage token bridges. Lock your token on Chain A, mint a wrapped version on Chain B, and reverse when you bridge back. All managed by the same mailbox/ISM infrastructure for consistency and security Developers get robust tooling: TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go SDKs, CLI commands, Terraform modules—and an Explorer to track message status. Want interchain accounts? Execute contracts on remote chains from a single signer. Need cross‑VM swaps? Hyperlane's got EVM↔SVM covered. HYPER (the native token) powers staking, validator incentives, governance, and expansion rewards. With a 1 B supply over 25 years and liquid staking via stHYPER, it aligns long‑term builders with protocol security and growth. If you're building the next multi‑chain DeFi, game, or governance tool, quitting the single‑chain mindset starts here.

FireFly Metals Ltd managing director Steve Parsons talked with Proactive about the company's ongoing drilling success at the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland, Canada. FireFly has reported strong extensional drilling results that intersect mineralisation more than 200 metres beyond the current Mineral Resource Estimate. The Green Bay Project currently hosts a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 24.4 million tonnes at 1.9% copper equivalent (CuEq), with an additional 34.5 million tonnes at 2.0% CuEq classified as Inferred. Drilling is targeting growth through multiple fronts, including a 35,000-metre resource extension program and a further 35,000 metres for infill drilling to convert Inferred resources. Significant new intercepts include 25.8 metres at 5.1% CuEq and 12.4 metres at 6.8% CuEq. Drilling from the 805 Level continues to deliver high-grade hits across both VMS and Footwall Zone (FWZ) styles of mineralisation. Underground drilling continues with five rigs active, and a sixth underground rig is arriving in late May. A Down Hole Electromagnetic (DHEM) anomaly over 700 metres beyond current drill extents is also being tested, presenting further exploration potential. “We are about to add a seventh rig because we have so many opportunities to pursue,” Parsons said. “There are very few projects which could justify such an aggressive drilling campaign.” Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more videos, and don't forget to give the video a like, subscribe to the channel, and enable notifications for future content. #FireFlyMetals #CopperExploration #GoldMining #GreenBayProject #NewfoundlandMining #DrillingResults #MineralResource #MingMine #MiningUpdates #ResourceExpansion #VMS #ExplorationNews #JuniorMining

In this episode, we dive deeper into the new architectural trends for infrastructure designers in this coming decade, which is a transition from virtualization platforms first like VMware into containerized platforms first. But this time, we talk through the use of virtualization in containerized systems - keeping VMs but with what changes are necessary to make a containerized virtualization platform dominant instead of a virtualized virtualization platform.

Interview with Peter Van Alphen, President & CEO of Nuvau Minerals Corp.Recording date: 11th April 2025Nuavu Minerals is set to transform the historic Matagami mining camp in Quebec, Canada through a dual strategy of near-term production and extensive exploration across its substantial 1,300 square kilometer property. Under the leadership of President and CEO Peter van Alphen, the company is nearing completion of an earning agreement with Glencore that will grant them 100% ownership of this past-producing base metal asset.The company plans a two-phase production approach, beginning with restarting the recently closed Bracemac McLeod mine, which contains approximately one million tons of resource with a potential to expand to two million tons. This "starter mine" would provide roughly three years of production while the company develops the Caber complex on the western side of the property. The Caber complex contains approximately 10 years of defined resources across three deposits, representing the first significant development on the western portion of the property in the camp's 60-year production history.A key advantage for Nuavu is the relatively modest capital requirement of approximately $50 million to restart operations, including refurbishing the existing 3,000-ton-per-day mill, which they have the option to acquire for $5 million. Van Alphen estimates the total infrastructure value included in the deal at $300-400 million.The exploration potential is equally compelling, with over 80 VMS-style deposit targets identified across the property. Perhaps most intriguing is the recently discovered gold potential, which includes what may be the highest gold grain count ever found in the Abitibi region, with over 2,000 grains of pristine gold particles per 10kg sample. The property sits on the Sunday Lake deformation zone, which hosts major gold deposits along strike.Van Alphen brings valuable experience from FNX Mining, Lake Shore Gold, Tahoe Resources, and Premier Gold, with a track record of revitalizing past-producing mines through hands-on management. "This could be the FNX of Quebec," he notes, drawing parallels to previous successful mine restarts.With strong community support in Matagami, a mining-friendly jurisdiction in Quebec, and a targeted production start in 2027, Nuavu is positioning itself at the intersection of near-term production potential and significant exploration upside in both base metals and gold, creating multiple potential value drivers for the company as it works to revitalize this historic mining region.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Jon Deluce, President and CEO of Abitibi Metals (CSE:AMQ - OTC:AMQFF - FSE:4KG) joins us to provide a comprehensive overview of recent milestones and upcoming plans across the company's copper-gold projects in the Abitibi region, focused primarily on the B26 deposit.    Key Discussion Topics: Recap of the 2024 Phase 2 drill program, with ~16,500m completed—highlighting new high-grade intercepts including 2.4% CuEq over 17.5m. Details on the recently closed almost $10M bought deal financing, which will fund a larger Phase 3 drill program. Preview of the Phase 3 drill campaign, targeting a minimum of 20,000 meters, drilling will be allocated across: High-grade zone definition and expansion (30%) Step-out and expansion drilling (50%) Property-wide exploration (20%) Insight into the new VP of Exploration, Louis Gariépy, formerly with O3 Mining and Agnico - bringing deep experience in VMS and gold systems. Acquisition of 100% ownership of the Beschefer Gold Project, located just 7km from B26, enhancing strategic optionality in the region. Jon also discusses timelines for potential economics, strategic project development, and how Abitibi's exploration is structured to balance near-term value creation with long-term upside.   If you have any follow up questions for Jon please email us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.    Click here to visit the Abitibi Metals website.

HIGHLIGHTSGeological Potential: Montauban shares key characteristics with Broken Hill, one of the world's most lucrative deposits, valued at over $100 billion in metals.Rhodonite Discovery: Recent sampling confirmed the presence of rhodonite, a mineral strongly associated with Broken Hill-type deposits, reinforcing the geological parallels between the two systems.Advanced Exploration: ESGold is using ambient noise tomography to scan depths up to 400 meters, revealing previously unexplored mineral-rich areas.Near-Term Production: Tailings production is set to begin in the next 6 months, generating cash flow without diluting shareholders. Year 1 revenue estimated at $23M based on current gold and silver prices.Strong Financial Projections: The PEA projects $106.9M in revenues from tailings, with potential upside reaching $315M over the next five years. A revised PEA is in progress.Fast Payback: The project is expected to pay back in just 0.9 years at $1,750 gold, underscoring its financial viability.ESGold Corp. ($ESAU / $ESAUF) is leading the charge with its modern approach to exploration and production. The company's use of cutting-edge technology potentially unlocks the full potential of Montauban, positioning it for both near-term revenue and long-term discovery upside.COMPANY INSIGHTS "For the first time, we are applying a disciplined, modern exploration approach to Montauban, similar to how Broken Hill was systematically uncovered," stated André Gauthier, Senior Geologist, ESGold. "This deposit shares many geological hallmarks with one of the most famous VMS deposits in the world. Our goal is to use modern technology to answer the key question—just how big is Montauban?""Broken Hill was not fully recognized until advanced exploration techniques were applied-this is the exact playbook we are following at Montauban," added Brad Kitchen, President of ESGold. "Our ANT survey will give us the first-ever deep visualization of the deposit, guiding our next drilling phase to unlock the true scale of this mineralized system."WHAT'S NEXT ESGold expects to finalize underground scan results within the next 4-6 weeks. These will provide critical insights into Montauban's mineralization, guiding the next phase of exploration. Drilling is set to begin within 6-9 months. With a rising gold market, a strategic Quebec location, and a self-funded approach, ESGold is poised for strong, sustained growth.

Interview with Darren Bowden, CEO of Metals Exploration PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/metals-exploration-lsemtl-philippines-producer-doubles-down-with-nicaragua-gold-project-6571Recording date: 11th March 2025Metals Exploration (LSE:MTL), a gold producer with operations in the Philippines, is leveraging its strong financial position to fund ambitious growth plans. The company is currently debt-free and generating approximately $10 million in monthly free cash flow from its Runruno operation, with all-in sustaining costs of around $1,000 per ounce.CEO Darren Bowden has outlined a clear growth strategy centered on using existing cash flow rather than taking on new debt. The company reported $96 million in free cash flow last year, providing a solid foundation for its expansion plans.A key focus is the development of the recently acquired Condor Gold project in Nicaragua. The company has purchased a second-hand processing plant for $10 million, representing significant savings compared to new construction. Metals Exploration is targeting a processing capacity of 1.4 million tonnes annually, substantially higher than the 850,000 tonnes envisioned in the original feasibility study.Groundbreaking for the Nicaragua project is scheduled for May, with concrete contractors arriving in June and plant equipment expected in August. Management anticipates the project will be 50-60% complete by year-end, with full commercial production targeted for Q4 2026. When operational, the Nicaragua project is expected to produce approximately 145,000 gold ounces annually.Meanwhile, the company is actively exploring the Dupax deposit, a VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) deposit near its existing Runruno operation in the Philippines. Initial ground mapping has been completed, with geophysics and drilling scheduled to begin soon. The company aims to establish a maiden resource of 8-10 million tonnes by year-end.Metals Exploration has articulated a clear timeline for growth, with Nicaragua as its two-year plan, Dupax as its 3-5 year plan, and additional opportunities in the Philippines as its 5-10 year plan. By 2028, the goal is to have two producing mines that together could generate between $400-500 million in annual free cash flow.The company also indicated that by 2028, once both operations are cash flowing, it will likely be in a position to start paying dividends. Management believes Metals Exploration has the potential to become a billion-dollar business based solely on the successful development of Nicaragua and Dupax, with additional upside from other opportunities within their existing tenements.View Metals Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/metals-exploration-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Tim Moody, President & CEO of Pan Global Resources Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/pan-global-resources-tsxvpgz-drilling-expands-after-high-grade-gold-discovery-6688Recording date: 2nd March 2025Pan Global Resources is an copper exploration company that is perfectly positioned to capitalize on the immense demand for copper driven by the global transition towards clean energy. With its strategic portfolio of highly prospective projects in the world-class mining jurisdiction of Spain, Pan Global is poised to emerge as a significant player in the copper industry.The company's flagship Escacena Project, located in the renowned Iberian Pyrite Belt, is showing tremendous potential. Aggressive drilling is underway to expand the near-surface resource and test multiple new targets, with the goal of delineating an initial 50-100Mt resource that would rival the scale of other major mines in the region. The upcoming maiden resource estimate is expected to showcase the project's value and provide a solid foundation for future growth.Pan Global's pipeline of earlier-stage projects adds even more upside potential. The Aguilas Project, recently consolidated under Pan Global's full ownership, boasts high-grade massive sulfide mineralization, gold-rich VMS, and extensive copper stockwork at surface. The company's systematic exploration efforts have already generated compelling drill targets that will be tested in the upcoming campaign. Meanwhile, the Escacena Project presents a unique opportunity, with its large, untested copper-in-soil anomaly associated with a massive breccia body, suggesting the presence of a previously unrecognized bulk tonnage porphyry copper system in the Iberian Pyrite Belt.There is confidence in Pan Global's exceptional management team, which brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of value creation in the exploration and mining sector. The company's strategic positioning is equally impressive, with 100% ownership of a dominant land package in a top-tier mining district. This, combined with its diversified asset base, makes Pan Global an especially attractive acquisition target for larger producers seeking high-quality growth projects.With a strong balance sheet following a successful $7.2M financing in late 2024, Pan Global is well-funded to aggressively advance its projects and deliver a steady stream of catalysts. The ongoing 7,000m drill program across high-priority targets is expected to generate substantial news flow, while the anticipated maiden resource estimate and potential new discoveries could serve as significant re-rating events for the stock.As the world rushes to combat climate change through rapid electrification, the demand for copper is set to soar. Industry experts warn of a looming supply deficit as copper demand outpaces supply due to grade declines, lack of new discoveries, and long development lead times. This structural imbalance is expected to usher in a new era of elevated copper prices, creating a highly favorable environment for copper miners and explorers like Pan Global Resources. By investing in Pan Global, shareholders gain direct exposure to the energy transition megatrend while also benefiting from the potential for significant share price appreciation as the company continues to create value through exploration success and resource growth. With its exceptional assets, strong management, and the backing of a robust copper market, Pan Global is a standout investment opportunity in the junior mining space.View Pan Global Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/pan-global-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode, we dive deeper into the new architectural trends for infrastructure designers in this coming decade, which is a transition from virtualization platforms first like VMware into containerized platforms first. But this time, we talk through the use of virtualization in containerized systems - keeping VMs but with what changes are necessary to make a containerized virtualization platform dominant instead of a virtualized virtualization platform.

In today's episode of The Daily Windup, Eric Coffie interviews an expert who provides insights into the controls that need to be implemented by anybody using containers, such as OpenShift and Kubernetes. Organizations that modernize to the cloud and those running VMs may want to move to a more orchestrated environment using containers. They highlight the need for certain configurations, including agentless implementation and telemetry, for analysts to monitor environments for attacks, power abuses, and traffic. They also talk how FEMA helps organizations like the National Flood Insurance Program, move from a 5-year-old mainframe to OpenShift three, and soon to OpenShift four. The new technology allows for flood insurance to be issued in real-time, and they have set up an environment that can withstand external risks from the container platform while restricting access from the GetGo.

On the Monday before the Christmas holiday, USANA Health Sciences (which if you didn't know is a U.S. public company trading on the NYSE under the stock ticker USNA) announced its acquisition of an almost 79% controlling ownership stake in Hiya Health for a $205 million cash transaction…with contract features providing acquisition of the remaining equity at a pre-negotiated valuation scale. For the last twelve months ended September 30, 2024, Hiya Health generated net sales of $103 million and adjusted EBITDA of $22 million. That implies a transaction value of approximately 2.5x trailing twelve months revenue or almost 12x adjusted EBITDA…both of which are mostly in line with recent M&A transactions across the VMS industry. And though other founders love to obsess over those comparative metrics, regardless of where they landed, I'd imagine this is an amazing financial outcome for a company that was only founded four years ago…and raised in total a measly half-million dollars. But why would a multilevel marketing supplement company, that generates more than 80 percent of its annual revenue within the Asia Pacific region, acquire a direct-to-consumer (DTC) children's supplement brand focused on the U.S. market? And my latest first principles thinking content will explain the strategic rationale behind this M&A transaction including how the multilevel marketing business model appears to be falling flat for some companies after years of public scrutiny, regulatory pressures, and changing consumer tastes. Also, I'll examine several other value accretive investment opportunities that USANA has pursued to advance its long-term growth strategy. In December 2020, USANA made a strategic investment in the protein bar brand manufacturer Built Brands. Beyond receiving a minority equity stake (in a growing company), Built Brands' expertise was leveraged to accelerate the development, enhancement, and expansion USANA nutrition bars that were to be manufactured in its new foods plant. And then in November 2022, USANA acquired the protein bar brand Rise Bar. Additionally, in that same announcement…USANA acquired an emerging direct selling company (called Oola) that leverages a personal development framework to sell “mind and body” supplements. But for these companies dropping multilevel marketing…it's always important to remember that “grass isn't always greener on the other side.” But with the form of direct selling invented 80 years ago by Carl Rehnborg now becoming a tainted term of sorts today…I'd expect more of these MLM companies to add diversified layers of growth. Yet don't get it twisted…these moves are mostly targeted at slightly camouflaging the primary business model just long enough until multilevel marketing can be reframed (and transformed) into something more attractive to younger digitally native generations.

Brian #1: New project to shorten django-admin to django because we are not monsters Jeff Tripplet has created django-cli-no-admin to shorten django-admin to just django. “One of the biggest mysteries in Django is why I have to run django-admin from my terminal instead of just running django. Confusingly, django-admin has nothing to do with Django's admin app.” Instead of typing things like: django-admin startproject mysite projectname We can type the shorter: django startproject mysite projectname I love this kind of developer speedup / comfort improvements And yes, Jeff wants Django to eventually include this as the default way to run the command line utilities. Michael #2: django-unicorn: The magical reactive component framework for Django Add modern site functionality: Quickly add in simple interactions to regular Django templates without learning a new templating language. Skip the JavaScript build tools No API required: Skip creating a bunch of serializers and just use Django. Brian #3: Testing some tidbits Ned Batchelder Different ways to test to see if a string has only 0 or 1 in it. And also, a way to check all the different ways to make sure they work. Fun post, and I learned about cleandoc - a way to strip leading blank space and maintain code block indentation I usually use textwrap.dedent() partition - splitting strings based on a substring Using | to pass imports to eval() - I don't use eval much. However, no pytest! Here's a way to check all this with pytest: Testing some tidbits with pytest Michael #4: The State of Python 2024 article Python usage with other languages drops as general adoption grows 41% of Python developers have under 2 years of experience Python learning expands through diverse channels The Python 2 vs. 3 divide is in the distant past Flask, Django, and FastAPI remain top Python web frameworks Most Python web apps run on hyperscale clouds Containers over VMs over hardware uv takes Python packaging by storm Extras Brian: More Django: Dracula Theme for Django Admin Michael: Zen Browser update Office refresh Transcripts (in some players) Joke: Volkswagen, passing all the tests
