Today's episode details a collaboration between two countries, The United States and Australia, that have the same goal in combating the flow of illicit drugs into their countries. The Drug Enforcement Administration was formed in 1973, by the Nixon administration, for the war on drugs and over the years this administration has grown, evolved and they have been the countries leading experts on illicit narcotic sales that terrorize the globe. The Western Australian Police Force, colloquially WAPOL, was formed in 1834 and provides police services to over 2.5 million citizens of Western Australia. This story will detail how two countries formed a partnership and created a “pilot” program that sent two Detectives from WAPOL to the Dallas DEA Field Division for a 90-day special assignment to observe the DEA investigate cases in the United States. After a strict selection process, WAPOL Detectives Benjamin Willian Cox and David Joseph Gilliland were sent to the Dallas Texas to work under Special Agent in Charge Eduardo Chavez and Special Agent Guy Baker. SAC Chavez leads the DEA Dallas Field Division. Detectives Cox and Gilliland joined the amazing Strike Force Group to immerse themselves in long term investigations so that both groups can learn from each other in detective styles, techniques and case managing. Longtime Dallas Narcotics Task Force member, David Roach #9150, took the mates under his wing to show them all that Dallas and the great state of Texas has to offer in narcotics and violence. Enjoy this different type of episode as we bridge two countries that have common goals in making their home a better and safer place for their people. Episode Guest List:  Detective Superintendent John Hutchison Superintendent Hutchison spearheaded this initiative and oversees the Serious Organised Crime Squad in WAPOL. He started in WAPOL in 1986 and became a Detective Sgt in 1992 and has served as a Detective in several positions including covert undercover unit, drug and organized crime investigations and in 2022 he started a TSOC Squad to build the capabilities of the Western Australian Police Force. DEA Special Agent in Charge Eduardo Chavez                SAC Chavez leads the DEA Dallas Field Division that oversees daily operations in the North Texas Region and the entire state of Oklahoma. SAC Chávez began his career with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the San Francisco Field Division in 2000 as a Special Agent assigned to the Bakersfield, California, Resident Office. During this period in the Central Valley of California, SAC Chávez conducted numerous complex conspiracy and undercover operations where his fluent Spanish and upbringing along the U.S.-México border allowed him to infiltrate several Mexican Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs). DEA Assistant Special Agent Guy Baker I met Guy as I learned he enjoyed listening to this podcast and he prefers to be a behind the scenes operator and does not like the limelight however I want the listener to know this episode would not have happened without Guy. He commands the respect of his peers and has dedicated his life to the DEA. I am honored to have met him. Guy has over 25 years with the DEA and is keen and outspoken in the fact that Fentanyl is one of the globes most dangerous crisis. Dallas Police Narcotics DEA Task Force Detective David Roach #9150 David has gravitated to enforcing narcotics going back to working in God's Country, the Southeast Division, when he started as a rookie officer. David's proactive talents and knack for natural street instincts as pure police was noticed by all as he spent several years in uniformed positions on assignments that allowed him to showcase his talents.  Detective Roach was assigned to the Dallas Narcotics Division and quickly joined the Narcotics Lab Unit then was hand picked to be a member of the DEA Task Force. David is a friend, respected and loyal team member and is bulldog of a Detective that is relentless in building cases on some of the most violent traffickers in the metroplex.

Interview with Dr. Mike Jones, MD of Impact Minerals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/impact-minerals-asxipt-pitch-perfect-3608Recording date: 22nd November 2023Impact Minerals Poised to Help Fill Booming HPA Market through Low-Cost ProductionHigh-purity alumina (HPA) remains a niche commodity today, but surging lithium-ion battery and LED lighting demand is fuelling the rapid market growth. With existing HPA producers already struggling to supply global requirements, Impact Minerals could enter the scene at an ideal time to help fill the widening supply-demand gap.Impact controls substantial mineral resources in Western Australia capable of low-cost HPA production through a straightforward leaching process. Recent scoping studies validate the project's world-class economics. Targeting operating expenditures under $10/kg HPA would establish an impact among the industry's lowest-cost producers. Below $15/kg is considered competitive. Coupled with factors like full permitting and modular scale to minimise initial capex needs, Impact is positioned to capitalise on the HPA market's unprecedented expansion.Strategic Priorities Aligning to Reach CommercialisationImpact has systematically focused its latest work programs on optimising HPA production flowsheet design and costs. Successfully generating larger-scale HPA samples remains key to qualifying product specifications with potential customers next year. Concurrently, management aims to accelerate critical mining agreements, project feasibility studies, and engineering reviews required for commercialisation. These coherent strategic priorities over the next 18-24 months are targeted to de-risk the project's commanding upside potential.Attractive Valuation with Over 5X Upside to PeerDespite outstanding economics and strategic momentum, Impact Minerals still trades 70% below its 2021 highs. But successfully executing its development milestones in the period ahead can re-rate the company substantially higher. The project's current discounted valuation contrasts significantly with HPA developer peer Alpha HPA, for example, which reached over a $1 billion market cap and trades at 5 times Impact's current price, despite holding less advanced projects.Ultra-High Margins Beckon Amid Deepening HPA ShortageImpact's projected production costs potentially half that of existing HPA producers set the company up to achieve ultra-high profit margins from selling into supply-short markets. Customer demand is clearly demonstrated, with multiple lithium-ion gigafactory and LED manufacturing investments driving HPA requirements higher every year. In a commodity market with distinctive supply pressures, Impact's production scalability and low-cost output advantages provide a prime opportunity to generate major shareholder value. The bull case appears intact for substantial upside revaluation potential as strategic priorities advance toward targeted production within the next 3 years.View Impact Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/impact-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Shaun Bunn, Managing Director of Empire Metals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/empire-metals-eee-massive-high-grade-titanium-mineral-system-explores-copper-potential-3202Recording date: 21st November 2023Massive Titanium Discovery in Western AustraliaEmpire Metals has announced a major titanium discovery at their 100% owned Pitfield Project in Western Australia. Initial drilling intercepted significant mineralization over a 30km strike length, with exceptional grades up to 20% TiO2 sampled at the surface. This points to a very large mineralised system with world-class potential.As Managing Director Sean Burger stated, “We found titanium we found titanium over 30km strike length, we found it now 300-400m below surface, every meter full of titanium minerals.” The company believes Pitfield has uncovered a unique sedimentary-hosted titanium deposit not seen globally before. The scale and richness show similarities to giant discoveries like the Carlin Trend in Nevada.Strategic Importance of TitaniumTitanium has faced structural supply deficits with accelerating demand from aerospace, defence, automotive, and other key industries. This backdrop provides strong incentives for new projects, especially those with clear scale advantages. With market size expected to reach $26 billion by 2030 and steady 6% annual growth, Pitfield offers exposure to these dynamics.Empire's Focus on Delineating High-Grade AreasWhile the sheer district-scale mineralised footprint is proven, Empire is prioritizing drilling and metallurgical analysis to pinpoint higher-grade zones. As Burger explained, “we need to narrow down our scope, focus on where the grades are...then that translates to metallurgical investigations.” Defining optimised mineralization and processing flowsheets will drive commercialisation plans. By targeting high-purity titanium compounds rather than bulk minerals, Empire can substantially boost potential revenues per tonne of ore.Attracting Strategic PartnersEmpire recognises it will require strategic partnerships and cornerstone investments to develop a project of this magnitude. But they want to control and drive the upside. As Burger asserted, “I don't imagine us as a seller, I don't imagine a situation where we get there and flip it, give it away.” The company is actively building connections across the industry and shoring up technical capabilities to advance Pitfield.The Coming MonthsWith over 12,000m of additional drilling starting in Q1 2023, Empire expects to significantly advance resource modelling and metallurgical analysis over the next 6-12 months. The work programs are fully funded and will feed into initial development planning. As results further validate Pitfield's remarkable credentials, interest from majors and strategic investors is expected to accelerate. Titanium assets this significant rarely come to market. Exposure today represents exceptional leverage as Empire transitions into the development cycle to potentially build a multi-billion dollar project in a Tier 1 location.—View Empire Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/empire-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Oliver Turner, Executive VP of Karora Resources Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/karora-resources-tsxkrr-exploration-success-and-production-growth-plans-4304Recording date: 20th November 2023Karora Resources is steadily advancing its growth strategy focused on expanding gold production from its operating mine portfolio in Western Australia. With a solid production track record and extensive infrastructure in place to support higher output rates, Karora offers investors leveraged exposure to rising gold prices.The company remains on pace to meet full-year gold production guidance of 145,000-160,000 ounces, which would represent a sizable increase from Karora's output of under 100,000 ounces just three years ago. All-in sustaining costs have tracked inline as well, at A$1,188/oz versus 2022 guidance of A$1,100-1,250/oz. With its core mines performing to plan, Karora's seasoned management team is executing well operationally.A central component of Karora's growth strategy is its extensive exploration program, focused primarily on adding new gold resources around existing mine infrastructure at its Beta Hunt operation. Over the past four years, the drilling has successfully delineated seven additional gold shear zones near the mine. According to Karora's Executive Vice President Oliver Turner, these new gold discoveries will substantially expand Karora's resource base as they are systematically upgraded into reserves and brought into production. Infrastructure investment aims to accelerate the drilling rate to build up the pipeline of additional production volumes.Importantly, with two mills now providing 2.6 million tons of annual processing capacity, Karora has significant infrastructure in place to translate exploration success into rising gold output. Turner highlighted that growing production will drive higher cash flow generation, which strengthens Karora's balance sheet to fund growth and can also support shareholder returns through dividends or share repurchases once the company reaches scale.By executing its clear growth strategy focused on discovering and developing new production ounces, Karora can substantially expand output from its Australian gold mines. As gold volumes increase, Karora is positioned to achieve a re-rating in its valuation multiple toward parity with mid-tier gold producers. Attracting greater investor interest and larger capital inflows to support its strategic objectives. For investors, Karora offers an opportunity for significant appreciation potential as the market recognizes it maturing into a sizable low-cost gold producer in a tier-one mining jurisdiction.-View Karora Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/karora-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The NIH in the UK has released a study confirming the N95 masks cause cancer among many other issues, but that's not all! While the NIH concludes that cloth masks (which literally do nothing for illnesses and indeed make illnesses worse) are safer, the NIH also conflicts this claim in other studies, as does the EPA. Cloth and surgical masks contain ethylene oxide. So do nasal swabs. Ethylene oxide is one of the most dangerous chemicals human beings come in contact with. Ethylene oxide isn't only a massive cause of cancer, but it also alters and damages DNA, causes brain damage, destroys the nervous system, causes infertility, destroys the skin, nose throat and lungs among countless other dangers. It's used as a "sterilizing agent" as well as a pesticide. The fact that humans have come in contact with this as much as they have over the past years is worrying, but add this to the cancer rate increase due to injections as well as the forever chemicals found in meats, fruits and vegetables and we have an actual genocide going on.

With WA accounting for half of the nation's exports, this important statistic is very telling when it comes to understanding what drivers influence markets.Mike's data compared Q1 2022 to Q1 2023 and found that WA had moved from the 4th most popular state for investors to 2nd in that 12 months. In real terms, it was a 22.49% change in favour of WA with every state except the ACT declining in favour over that period. WA represented 9.38% of all residential investor activity in Q1 2022, and jumped to a whopping 22.49% in Q1 2023 second only to QLD at 37.97%. Despite this recent renaissance, Cate reminds listeners that for the 14-year period starting 2007 to the end of 2020, the Perth property market essentially stayed flat. At the start of 2007 Perth had the highest median house value of Australia's eight capitals, and at the end of the next 168 months, it went nowhere, while house values actually doubled in Sydney. Mike's insights into population changes are fascinating.. tune in to find out! Reading the iron ore crystal ball is no mean feat, but Dave shares his outlook. The Trio share their concerns for investors who are rushing in without understanding the volatility and drivers of a market like Perth. Timing the entry and exit is never an easy thing to do. As Dave points out, an over-reliance on mining is a risk.Lastly, our gold nuggets…… Mike Mortlock's gold nugget: It's important to be heavily researched on the location as best you can. Thinking about resale and retirement should be a key consideration also.Dave Johnston's gold nugget: "The most important economy to be across is your own economy. Ultimately you need to make decisions that are right for you." Cate Bakos's gold nugget: The tyranny of distance needs to be factored in to any investor's interstate purchase decisions. Long term buy and hold plans need to be consider the maintenance burden that long distance renovating can create.Show notes: https://www.propertytrio.com.au/2023/11/20/perth-property-gold-rush/

In today's episode, we have James Cusack, a fifth-generation farmer and Corriedale breeder hailing from south-west Victoria.While James grew up on a farm in Western Australia, he spent time completing a diesel mechanic apprenticeship before returning to farming in Victoria. James explains, "I was always told I had to do something else, so becoming a diesel mechanic was a practical skill to have. It's come in handy in various ways, but ultimately, my heart was in farming."Now located in Skipton, south-west Victoria, James manages his family's farms, including the original Corriedale stud in Australia, flock number one, a lineage established in 1911. In 2012, James inherited the stud and has since dedicated himself to ramping up production and genetic improvement across both wool and meat.James' dedication to improving his flock led him to join the Performance Corriedale Group. This group of passionate Corriedale breeders collaborates to enhance the breed's performance, particularly in meat quality and growth traits. James elaborates, "We aim to change the traditional look of the breed, improve rearing ability, and boost lamb weaning rates while maintaining the valuable wool characteristics."To achieve this, the Performance Corriedale Group established a progeny test. This project involves joining 270 commercial ewes to 11 different sires, including Corriedales, Border Leicesters, Dorsets and maternal composites. The goal is to assess eating quality and growth traits in the offspring: "We're looking forward to processing the lambs in the new year and analysing carcass traits such as shear force and intramuscular fat."James is optimistic about the future of Corriedales and believes that projects like these will help showcase the breed's potential. He emphasises the importance of encouraging other breeders to embrace objective measurement tools and select for desired traits.To stay updated on the progress of this exciting project or get in touch with James Cusack, visit the Performance Corriedale Breeders' Twitter account or email James at jocusack94@gmail.com.

Neometals (ASX:NMT) - Pivot to Smart New Strategy in Tough Market

Interview with Chris Reed, CEO/MD of Neometals Ltd.Recording date: 15th November 2023With lithium prices down roughly 70% from last year's peak, Australian firm Neometals is adapting its strategy to weather difficult market conditions in the lithium industry. Despite the tough environment, Neometals still sees significant long-term potential in lithium, projecting surging demand from the electric vehicle revolution. The company is working to position itself to ultimately capitalize on a rebound in prices.Neometals' recent initiatives demonstrate a prudent, opportunistic approach aimed at enhancing shareholder returns while limiting risk exposure. This includes making a promising new lithium discovery from historical mining records, continuing to advance its core battery recycling business, and pivoting to emphasize a capital-light technology licensing model over traditional mine development.Importantly for investors, Neometals aims to focus on generating recurring royalty revenue streams rather than relying solely on lithium price appreciation. By maintaining ownership of its proprietary technologies while outsourcing plant operating costs, Neometals seeks to create high-margin income from percentage-based royalties tied to production. This licensing model aligns with the company's goal of rewarding shareholders while avoiding excessive dilution from large capital expenditures.Neometals' new lithium discovery in Western Australia provides significant optionality for investors. Through simple review of historical drill cores and assays at one of its nickel exploration sites, the company confirmed intersections of spodumene, a lithium-bearing mineral. While still early stage, this finding opens the door for Neometals to potentially delineate a substantial maiden lithium resource at minimal cost. Exploration upside could boost Neometals' portfolio without near-term financial commitments.Importantly, CEO Chris Reed emphasized battery recycling remains Neometals' core strategic focus despite the new discovery. The company's proprietary recycling technology is on track for first revenues by 2025, starting with a demonstration plant under construction for Mercedes-Benz. After solving key chemical purity challenges, Neometals aims to supply larger 200,000 tonne per year facilities to capitalize on surging battery waste volumes. Success with Mercedes validates Neometals' recycling capabilities, providing a springboard to sign additional partners.While Neometals has slowed spending on other mining projects amid weak lithium pricing, it continues advancing initiatives with strategic potential. This prudent approach maintains optionality without overextending the company's balance sheet. Neometals continues to pilot a proprietary lithium extraction process with partner Bondalti in Portugal, eyeing attractive European EV battery production. The company also retains exploration rights to Barrambie, one of the world's largest undeveloped titanium resources.Crucially for investors, Neometals has tailored its strategies to avoid excessive risk during the lithium downturn while ensuring leveraged exposure to an eventual rebound. The company's capital-light licensing model means minimized equity dilution even as its technologies scale commercially. By building a portfolio of 5-10% gross royalty streams across lithium, nickel, cobalt, and other battery metals, Neometals aims to realize higher earnings multiples than typical mining projects.With analysts projecting lithium prices to recover by mid-decade as demand surges, Neometals' royalties could provide substantial upside. The company's technology licensing approach allows it to maintain strategic focus despite market volatility. For investors with patience and belief in the secular lithium growth story, Neometals presents an intriguing specialized play.View Neometals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/neometalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This talk is republished with permission by Metta Centre, teaching retrieved from http://Dhamma Talks – Metta Centre. In this panel, three respected monastics will discuss the question of responsibility for our own happiness and suffering to shed light on the causes of misery. The panelists will examine how our own thoughts, speech and actions can shape our experience of the world and influence our well-being. One encompassing method of purifying the mind to overcome the causes of misery is through the cultivation of the Brahma Viharas, namely loving kindness (metta), compassion (karuna), joyful appreciation (mudita), and equanimity (upekkha), known as the Four Sublime Abodes. However, these wholesome mental states are widely misinterpreted and misused to justify unwholesome actions and thoughts, often under the disguise of spirituality by way of spiritual bypassing. Such misunderstandings may potentially lead to harmful consequences. This panel will discuss how to identify the causes of these misconceptions and explore ways to truly nurture and grow the pure four immeasurable qualities of the mind for the benefit of oneself and others. Ajahn Nissarano was born in 1952 in Perth, Western Australia. In 1997, he was ordained by Ajahn Brahm as a novice monk and a year later took full ordination. This year was his 26th Rain's Retreat, Vassa. He lived in Sri Lanka from 2006 to 2019, for a total of 13 and half years. During that time, he lived for 8 years in a cave on the side of a mountain, surrounded by forest and going for alms round to the village below. He returned to Australia regularly to teach, primarily at the Buddhist Society of Victoria. In January 2021 he became the Senior Monk at Newbury Buddhist Monastery, outside Melbourne, which is run by the Buddhist Society of Victoria. Bhikkhuni Ayya Kārunikā is currently the senior resident monastic at Santi Forest Monastery and has been in monastic life for over 12 years. She received her full ordination as a bhikkhunī in 2014 at Dhammasara Nuns monastery in Western Australia where she lived and trained for over a decade with Ajahn Hāsapaññā. She is also a student of Ajahn Brahm and Ajahn Brahmali. Ayya Kārunikā is able to articulate the Buddhist teachings in a way that is practical and comprehensible to people of all ages and has experience in conducting day retreats for both adults and youth. While she has a PhD in Microbiology and worked as a scientist, she has also been the building project manager for the construction of Dhammasara main monastery complex and has worked with many volunteers over the years.

A Small Voice: Conversations With Photographers

Max Pam is an Australian photographer born in 1949 in suburban Melbourne, which as a teenager he found to be grim, oppressive and culturally isolated. He found refuge in the counter-culture of surfing and the imagery of National Geographic and Surfer Magazine and became determined to travel overseas.Max left Australia at 20, after accepting a job as a photographer assisting an astrophysicist. Together, the pair drove a VW Beetle from Calcutta to London. This adventure proved inspirational, and travel has remained a crucial and continuous link to his creative and personal development. As Gary Dufour noted in his essay in Indian Ocean Journals (Steidl, 2000): “Each photograph is shaped by incidents experienced as a traveller. His photographs extend upon the tradition of the gazetteer; each photograph a record of an experience, a personal account of an encounter somewhere in the world. Each glimpse is part of an unfolding story rather than simply a record of a place observed. While travel underscores his production Pam's photographs are not the accidental evidence of a tourist.”Max's work takes the viewer on compelling journeys around the globe, recording observations with an often surrealist intensity, matching the heightened sensory awareness of foreign travel. The work frequently implies an interior, psychic journey, corresponding with the physical journey of travel. His work in Asian counties is well represented in publications as are his travels in Europe, Australia, and the Indian Ocean Rim cultures including India, Pakistan, Myanmar, Yemen, The Republic of Tanzania, Mauritius, Madagascar, the Cocos and Christmas Islands. The images leave the viewer, as Tim Winton said in Going East (Marval 1992), “grateful for having been taken so mysteriously by surprise and so far and sweetly abroad.”Max's first survey show was held at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in 1986, and was followed by a mid-career retrospective at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1991. He was also the subject of a major exhibition at the Comptoir de la Photographie, Paris in 1990, which covered the work of three decades. He has published several highly acclaimed photographic monographs and 'carnets de voyage', including Going East: Twenty Years of Asian Photography (1992), Max Pam (1999), Ethiopia (1999) and Indian Ocean Journals (2000). Going East won Europe's major photo book award the Grand Prix du Livre Photographique in 1992. In the same year Max held his largest solo show to date at the Sogo Nara Museum of Art, Nara. He has published work in the leading international journals and is represented in major public and private collections in Australia, Great Britain, France and Japan.In episode 217 Max discusses, among other things:How he adopted the visual diary as his photographic approach.The influence of Diane Arbus.Why he chose such a specific period of his life to explore in his new memoir.How Arbus inspired him to shoot 6x6.How surfing in Australia introduced him travelling.How he ended up in India and why it fascinates him.The magic of film vs. digital.Working with book designers… or not.The time he failed to get into Magnum Photos.Surviving financially, teaching, and the importance of ‘marrying up'.Travel and family.Returning to Australia in a poor mental state, post typhoid.His wife's Alzheimer's and eventual death.Referenced:Philip Jones-GriffithDon McCullenLarry BurrowsDavid BaileyDiane ArbusEdward WestonTina ModottiRoger BallenGeorge OrwellBernard PlossuRamon PezSarah MoonOne Flew Over The Cuckoos NestPeter Beard Website | Instagram“I'm a very curious person and ultimately having the camera amplifies that curiosity in a really profound way. And it also gives you carte blanche to stick your head into areas where normally you'd think ‘ah, it's a bit dodgy, maybe not, I could get my head cut off it I stuck it in the hole…' But often then you think, ‘well come on man, you've got a camera there, isn't this part of your self image?' And so it's like this ticket to ride on something that is actually quite dangerous.”
