Surge Copper CEO Leif Nilsson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to to provide an insightful update regarding the company's strategic plans for the Berg copper-molybdenum-precious metals project situated in central British Columbia. Emphasizing their commitment to meticulous planning and execution, Surge Copper is gearing up for an array of technical work programs crucial for the forthcoming pre-feasibility study. With an eye on advancing the project's development, Surge Copper is at an advanced stage of planning for multiple initiatives, poised to kick off in the imminent weeks and traverse through the summer field season. These initiatives, rooted in the recommendations delineated in the preliminary economic assessment for the Berg Project, signify a pivotal step towards realizing its full potential. In his discussion with Proactive, Nilsson elaborated on one of the key initiatives: a comprehensive test work program meticulously designed to propel the bulk copper-molybdenum concentrate flotation parameters forward. The primary objective is to validate and enhance the recovery performance of copper, molybdenum, silver, and gold into distinct copper and molybdenum concentrates. Notably, this program stands fully scoped, with requisite composite sample materials readily available and awaiting prompt shipment. Furthermore, Surge Copper is embarking on an expansive data collection endeavor during the summer field season of 2024. This initiative aims to amass critical time-series baseline data crucial for potential environmental assessments, underpinning the company's unwavering commitment to responsible and sustainable mining practices. Field operations at the Berg deposit in 2024 will be instrumental in gathering samples from various sectors within the PEA pit shape. These samples will undergo meticulous laboratory-based geochemistry test programs, enabling Surge Copper to comprehensively characterize key parameters essential for waste rock and tailings design optimization. Concurrently, surface mapping and sampling endeavors will be initiated early in the field season, laying the groundwork for informed decisions regarding drilling targets. #proactiveinvestors #surgecoppercorp #tsxv #surg #otcqb #srgxf #MiningInnovation, #CopperExploration, #BCMining, #SustainableMining, #MineralExploration, #MiningSector, #Geology, #ResourceManagement, #EconomicDevelopment, #CopperProduction, #InvestInMining, #EnvironmentalStudies, #MetallurgicalAdvancements, #ResourceInvestment, #CopperMarket, #MiningTechnology, #CanadianMining, #ExplorationDrilling, #FeasibilityStudies, #CopperResources, #MiningEngineering, #MineralsSector, #MiningInvestments, #CriticalMineralsStrategy#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

In this last in a four-part series on employment, the Triple Vision team speaks to Jen Ferris and Wayne Henshall in order to answer the question: “Do employment programs for blind Canadians really work?” Jen Ferras is a "Free Agent" employed by the Government of Canada working on modernization initiatives; she has been working towards her own employment program for Canadians who are blind called “Talent Launch Consulting” on the side. The idea is to seek out gig work from established companies and then provide that work to qualified individuals looking to start their careers, or change their employment situation for the better. “What makes it unique is that it's well-established. It's legitimate companies requiring work to be done on their projects, and it's meaningful work. It's not just tokenism.” Meanwhile, after 20 years in the corporate world, Wayne Henshall is now head of the Come to Work Program at CNIB. The program supports blind and visually impaired individuals moving along the continuum of vision loss through to the pursuit of work, careers and venture start-ups. The national program has grown from 30 participants in its first year, to now taking in 1,100. “The hard part is, how do you make the overall numbers change? We have such a high unemployment rate, it's three times the rate of the rest of Canada, and so I would say, are we making meaningful change? Two hundred and eighty of those 1,100 individuals have gotten jobs who had not been working for six months-plus, and in some cases had never worked, ever in their activities. So, that is a start. … Even if I got all 1,100 of those, that would only change the overall employment rate by less than .01%.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/david-best9/message
