Interview with Gordon Robb, CEO of ESGold Corp.Recording date: 30th July 2025ESGold Corporation has positioned itself as a unique investment opportunity in the precious metals sector, combining environmental remediation with near-term production potential. The company is focused on reprocessing toxic tailings from the historic Montauban mine, located 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, transforming environmental liabilities into economic value.Under new leadership from CEO Gordon Robb, who joined in July 2025 with a background in fixed income trading and resource sector experience at Scottie Resources, ESGold has identified a compelling low-risk development opportunity. The company has quantified approximately 12,000 ounces of gold, one million ounces of silver, and significant mica deposits across six tailings piles representing over a century of mining activity dating back to 1912.The operational strategy emphasizes measured scaling, beginning with a 500 tons per day pilot plant before expanding to the fully permitted 1,000 tons per day capacity. With existing infrastructure including a steel building and established permits, the capital requirements remain modest at just $6 million in capital expenditures and $2-3 million in operating expenses. This low-capex model offers a rapid payback period of less than one year according to previous assessments.Beyond immediate tailings processing, ESGold sits on what management describes as a "wildly underexplored" VMS deposit extending to 1,200 meters depth. The company plans to self-fund future exploration through cash flow generated from tailings operations, eliminating typical dilutive financing challenges facing junior exploration companies."The market seems to have an appetite for cash flow. We have never seen metals prices as high as they are," Robb explained, highlighting the company's strategy to capitalize on current market conditions while addressing genuine environmental concerns in the local community.ESGold's approach offers investors exposure to precious metals production with reduced development risk, environmental benefits, and significant exploration upside in an underexplored mining district.View ESGold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/secova-metals-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Dan Barnholden, CEO of Luca Mining Corp.Our Previous Interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/luca-mining-tsxvluca-growing-significant-value-in-mexico-in-the-new-gold-bull-market-6317Recording date: 25th July 2025Luca Mining has emerged as a compelling turnaround story in the precious metals sector, transforming from financial distress to robust cash generation under CEO Dan Barnholden's leadership. The company operates two mines in Mexico: the Tahuehueto gold-silver mine in northwest Durango and the Campo Marado polymetallic VMS deposit in Guerrero State.The financial transformation has been remarkable. "When I joined we had a million in the bank and we had $18.2 million in debt. Today we sit with almost $25 million cash in the bank and $7.7 million in debt," Barnholden explained, representing a $40 million balance sheet improvement. The company generated $11.7 million in free cash flow during Q1 2025, positioning it to achieve annual forecasts of $30-40 million.Recent exploration success at Campo Marado has validated the company's strategic pivot toward high-grade gold zones. Surface drilling at the La Reforma zone intercepted 15.12 meters of 5.5 grams per ton gold, 150 grams per ton silver, and 8.5% zinc—significantly higher grades than current mining areas. This represents the first surface drilling into La Reforma since 2010, unlocking 15 years of untested potential.Operational improvements have been equally impressive. Campo Marado's mill capacity utilization increased from 60% to near-optimal levels at 2,100 tons per day, while Tahuehueto achieved commercial production in Q1 2025, producing 30,000-35,000 ounces of gold annually.The company's share price has tripled over 12 months, reflecting successful execution and favorable precious metals market conditions. Management is working on mill upgrades to double gold recovery from the current 25-30%, while exploring tailings reprocessing opportunities containing an estimated billion dollars worth of gold.With institutional ownership at just 6%, Luca Mining targets growth to 20% near-term, capitalizing on renewed investor appetite for precious metals exposure during what Barnholden describes as "a bull market for precious metals companies."Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/luca-mining-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Northstar Gold Corp CEO Brian Fowler Joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent with Novamera Inc. to deploy its patented Surgical Mining technology at Northstar's Cam Copper Mine, part of the company's Miller Copper-Gold Property in Ontario. The project will target Zone 2, a high-grade copper-rich zone interpreted to host Besshi-style volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization, primarily chalcopyrite and bornite. The zone extends from surface to about 200 metres depth, over a 125-metre strike length and an average width of 1 metre. It remains open at depth, plunging southeast at -71 degrees along a defined VMS feeder structure. Fowler emphasized that Novamera's Surgical Mining process is ideally suited to extract this narrow, high-grade mineralization while minimizing environmental disturbance and dilution. The technique uses large-diameter surface drilling guided by advanced hardware and software to precisely target ore zones. Broken rock is recovered directly from surface and transported to a nearby mill for processing. Once drilling is completed, the holes can be reclaimed immediately, ensuring structural support and a minimal surface footprint. Under the strategic agreement, the company is working on due diligence and implementation planning. Novamera will earn a 5% revenue share, with Northstar holding a buyout option. The initial capital requirement is modest, approximately $1.5 million, with remaining project costs structured off-balance sheet, reducing financial risk. Northstar is actively pursuing non-dilutive funding options to accelerate the start of operations. Fowler concluded that Novamera's novel approach offers a low-impact, high-recovery solution for Zone 2 and fits well with Northstar's broader goal of sustainable and efficient resource development. #proactiveinvestors #northstargoldcorp #cse #nsg #MiningNews #GoldDiscovery #CopperExploration #MillerProperty #KirklandLake #Investing #Gold #Copper #ProactiveInvestors #novamera

Gilbert Clark of Meridian Mining joins the podcast for his editorial comments from the latest round if drill results out of the Cabaçal VMS project in Brazil. The definitive feasibility study drill work is working its way towards completion. Gilbert provides some insights into whats next for the company along the belt.

Interview with Matt Filgate, President & CEO of Greenlight Metals Inc.Recording date: 11th July 2025Greenlight Metals (TSXV:GRL) has emerged as the sole active mining explorer in Wisconsin, positioning itself to capitalize on unprecedented demand for domestic copper supply amid the Trump administration's aggressive trade policies. The company is focused on developing high-grade VMS copper deposits in Wisconsin's Penokean volcanic belt, a region that has been dormant for exploration since a 20-year mining moratorium ended in 2017.Under CEO Matt Filgate's leadership, Greenlight has secured the flagship Bend Project, which contains a 4.5 million ton historic resource grading 2% copper and 2.3 grams per ton gold. The company recently acquired critical private land adjacent to the original 330-meter strike length for approximately $250,000, unlocking significant expansion potential. Current drilling aims to grow this resource to 15-20 million tons while maintaining world-class grades.The strategic timing appears optimal as President Trump's announced 50% tariffs on imports create urgent demand for domestic copper supply. "With what's going on with Trump announcing these new 50% tariffs that are coming in on imports, they got to backfill that with domestic supply," Filgate explains. This policy shift, combined with electrification trends and infrastructure development, positions domestic copper projects as increasingly valuable.Wisconsin's regulatory environment has evolved favorably since the 2017 repeal of the mining moratorium and implementation of the Mining for America Act. The company maintains strong relationships with local regulators and government officials through strategically chosen board members, including Steve Donohue, who co-authored the state's mining legislation.Beyond Bend, Greenlight's portfolio includes the high-grade Lobo project, featuring historic intersections of 9 meters at 23% zinc, and several untested electromagnetic anomalies across the belt. With $2.8 million in current funding and a tight shareholder structure including institutional backing from Vestcor and Delbrook, the company is well-positioned to execute its discovery-focused strategy in this underexplored jurisdiction.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Darren Bowden, CEO, Metals ExplorationOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/metals-exploration-lsemtl-gold-producer-targets-500m-annual-cash-flow-by-2028-6846Recording date: 18th June, 2025Metals Exploration is executing a strategic transformation from a single-asset gold producer to a diversified mining company operating across the Philippines and Nicaragua. The company's Runruno mine in the Philippines currently generates $96 million in annual free cash flow while producing 70,000-80,000 ounces of gold, providing the financial foundation for aggressive expansion plans.The centerpiece of this growth strategy is the January 2025 acquisition of Condor Gold in Nicaragua, where Metals Exploration is rapidly constructing a new gold mine targeting 140,000 ounces annually by Q4 2026. Unlike previous development attempts constrained by external financing requirements, the company is using internal cash flows to optimize mine design, targeting 1.4 million tons annually compared to Condor's original 880,000-ton plan.CEO Darren Bowden brings 17 years of South American mining experience, positioning the company to navigate challenging jurisdictions where political risk perception creates entry barriers for competitors. The team has quickly established credibility in Nicaragua, securing contracts with the country's four largest companies and demonstrating operational progress that previous management failed to achieve over 12 years.In the Philippines, Metals Exploration is advancing multiple opportunities to extend operations beyond Runruno's 2026 closure. The most immediate prospect involves a VMS deposit 20 kilometers away containing zinc, copper, and gold mineralization. The company plans to repurpose existing plant infrastructure with a $20 million investment, targeting $1 billion in annual revenue by 2028.The investment thesis centers on exceptional cash flow generation, production growth from 70,000 to 140,000+ ounces annually, and significant cost advantages in both jurisdictions. Operating debt-free with drilling costs approximately 75% below US levels, Metals Exploration maintains financial flexibility while advancing multiple development pathways.With gold prices above $3,500 providing substantial margins and the company's self-funded approach eliminating dilution risk, Metals Exploration represents a compelling growth story in underexplored, politically complex markets where operational expertise creates competitive advantages.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/metals-exploration-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In many organizations, security exception management is a manual process, often treated as a simple compliance checkbox. While necessary, this approach can lead to unmonitored configurations that drift from their approved state, creating inconsistencies in an organization's security posture over time. How can teams evolve this process to support modern development without compromising on security?In this episode, Ashish Rajan sits down with security expert Santosh Bompally, Cloud Security Engineering Team Lead at Humana to discuss a practical framework for automating exception management. Drawing on his journey from a young tech enthusiast to a security leader at Humana, Santosh explains how to transform this process from a manual task into a scalable, continuously monitored system that enables developer velocity.Learn how to build a robust program from the ground up, starting with establishing a security baseline and leveraging policy-as-code, certified components, and continuous monitoring to create a consistent and secure cloud environment.Guest Socials -⁠⁠ ⁠Santosh's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security BootCamp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Cybersecurity PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(00:39) From Young Hacker to Cybersecurity Pro(02:14) The "Tick Box" Problem with Exception Management(03:17) Exposing Your Threat Landscape: The Risk of Not Automating(05:43) Where Do You Even Start?

Interview with Jon Deluce, Founder & CEO of Abitibi Metals Corp.Recording date: 3rd June 2025Abitibi Metals Corp (CSE:AMQ) presents a compelling copper development opportunity through its control of Quebec's B26 deposit, a substantial resource that recently entered public markets for the first time after two decades of government development. The company's combination of asset scale, jurisdictional advantages, and patient capital positioning addresses key investor priorities in the current copper market environment.*Asset Quality and Scale*The B26 deposit represents one of Canada's larger undeveloped copper resources, with 18.5 million tons grading 2.18% copper equivalent. Located in Quebec's established mining region, the asset benefits from strong metallurgical characteristics including 98% copper recovery and 90% gold recovery rates. Significant gold credits in inferred resources enhance overall project economics while expanding potential acquirer interest beyond traditional copper companies.The deposit's technical profile ranks in the top 10% of VMS opportunities globally according to management, with a 1.6-kilometer continuous strike length open in both directions. This expansion potential distinguishes B26 from typical junior-developed assets, as systematic exploration has been limited during its government development phase.*Financial Strength and Deal Structure*Abitibi maintains exceptional financial positioning with $18.4 million cash funding operations through Q1 2027, eliminating near-term dilution pressure. Abitibi Metals completed and confirmed in collaboration with its partner SOQUEM that all requirements to earn a 50% interest in the B26 Polymetallic deposit have been successfully fulfilled. The company has completed over $10 million of its $14.5 million work commitment to progress 80% ownership of B26 ahead of schedule.  This partnership structure provides both government backing and clear pathways to 100% ownership while aligning with Quebec's economic development objectives. The province's mining-friendly regulatory environment and established infrastructure reduce development risk compared to more remote or jurisdictionally challenging locations.*Operational Development and Strategy*CEO Jon Deluce brings relevant industry experience including operational exposure with Kirkland Lake Gold and Barrick, while recent executive additions from O3 Mining and Agnico Eagle strengthen the team's development credentials. The company has transitioned from contractor reliance to full-time operational capabilities, addressing previous execution challenges that impacted market performance.Abitibi's immediate drilling program targets 400-1,000 meter depths using directional techniques to optimize cost efficiency while testing both near-term economic zones and longer-term expansion potential.Investors OutlookThe company's current valuation at approximately half its cash position suggests significant disconnect between asset quality and market recognition. Management is pursuing multiple value catalysts including engineering studies to demonstrate economic viability, aggressive resource and  expansion drilling.Quebec's advantages as a tier-one jurisdiction become increasingly valuable as supply chain security concerns drive premiums for politically stable copper sources. With limited comparable opportunities in the Canadian market and growing institutional interest in copper-gold assets, Abitibi's combination of resource scale, financial strength, and jurisdictional security positions the company favorably for revaluation as operational catalysts unfold through 2025.View Abitibi Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/abitibi-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode, we have a returning guest who appeared back in Episodes 298 and 451, Alex Walker, CEO of East Star Resources, are focused on the discovery and development of VMS, porphyry and sediment hosted copper deposits in Kazakhstan.A former captain in the Australian Army Reserves, Alex has more than 15 years of investment banking, mining finance, and management experience before joining East Star in 2021. He gives us an update since we last spoke in July 2024, updates on their drilling campaigns, ESG, and how Kazakhstan is developing as a mining jurisdiction. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kazakhstan is emerging as a favourable mining jurisdiction, attracting significant investment from major companies like Fortescue, Barrick, and Ivanhoe. The country has made strides in improving its regulatory framework, including digitising applications and maintaining a stable royalty rate. The company is utilising modern exploration techniques, including AI data processing and advanced geochemical sampling, to enhance target identification and reduce fieldwork time. These technologies are helping to refine their understanding of potential deposits. East Star is committed to integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into its operations. The company emphasises community engagement, social responsibility, and minimizing environmental impact, particularly by leveraging existing infrastructure in the region. In the short to medium term, East Star Resources plans to initiate drilling at multiple targets, including Rulikha and Talovskoye, while continuing to refine its resource model for Verkhuba. The company aims to grow its resource base and advance towards feasibility studies within the year. BEST MOMENTS "Kazakhstan is a fantastic place. The people are very welcoming, very friendly. It's quite a melting pot... and certainly our friendship group here is quite diverse as well." "We think that Kazakhstan ticks that box massively... It's probably one of the few jurisdictions globally that you could say is moving in the right direction." "Copper is entering a multi-generational bull market... The new oil is copper because we need that to decentralise the grids." "We would like to start pushing that through scoping studies and into feasibility work. So I hope that we can do all of that this year."

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.

The Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) platform is a cost-effective solution for managing virtualized workloads in the cloud. It also provides the quickest way to move to the cloud without the need to refactor applications. NC2 can help with applications that run in virtual machines (VMs), but it can help equally well with containerized apps running in Kubernetes, thanks to the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution, which runs both on-premises and on NC2. Blog: https://www.nutanix.com/blog/why-you-should-run-nkp-on-nutanix-cloud-clustersHost: Phil Sellers, Practice Director for Modern Datacenter, XenTegraCo-Host: Andy Greene, Solutions Architect, XenTegraCo-Host: Chris Calhoun, Solutions Architect, XenTegraCo-Host: Ben Rogers, Enterprise Sales Engineer, Nutanix

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

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

Beat Migs! And we slide into our VMs to chat parades and stuff.

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. Tune in to listen the importance of having these systems in place for your business!
