Defying convention has become a hallmark of Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI | OTCQB: SBMCF), and few embody that approach more directly than its Director and VP of Capital Markets, Peter Clausi. “We agreed back in 2020 we were not going to get a 43-101 resource estimate,” he recalled in a recent interview with InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes. “People told us you won’t be able to raise any mon...

The rare earths sector is notoriously difficult to advance, but Tom Drivas, CEO and Director of Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API | OTCQB: APAAF), is quick to emphasize that his company has secured the strategic partner it has long sought. “The due diligence is happening as we speak,” Drivas said in a recent interview. “Ultra (Ultra Rare Earth Inc.) had four groups on our property. W...

The rare earth industry is littered with failed promises and overhyped projects, but George Bennett, CEO and Director of Rainbow Rare Earths Limited (LSE: RBW), insists his company is carving out a path defined by low costs, chemical ingenuity, and near-term production. “We are very low capital intensity for a typical rare earth development project,” Bennett said in a recent conversation. “We are...

The rare earth industry has long been overshadowed by China’s dominance, but Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU | OTCQX: UURAF) is beginning to capture investor imagination with a plan that moves beyond extraction and into the linchpin of the supply chain: refining. “You’re not going to have anything on the mining extraction side work or come to fruition unless you have the refining to go with it,”...

Jim Atkinson calls antimony “the most critical metal that nobody knows about.” As Chief Executive Officer and Director of Antimony Resources Corp. (CSE: ATMY), he is leading the charge at Bald Hill in New Brunswick, home to the highest-grade antimony deposit in North America.

A distressed asset, a forgotten mine, and a geological model that could reshape the future of mining east of Sudbury—this is the story that Christopher Berlet, President, CEO, and Director of Canuc Resources Corporation (TSXV: CDA | OTCQB: CNUCF), is beginning to tell publicly after years of quiet preparation. “Major discovery potential with cash flow,” is how Berlet described the company’s positi...

Pat Ryan doesn’t mince words when he draws a parallel between China’s near-total dominance of rare earth refining and Rockefeller’s 19th-century oil empire. “If I said to you today that China controls 95% of oil refining in the world, you’d be shocked. Of course, they don’t. But they do control 95% of rare earth critical mineral processing. People should be shocked. We’ve got to change that.” His...

In the boreal forests north of Saguenay, where smoldering wildfires can halt a drill rig as surely as a market crash, Frank Basa is chasing a funnel-shaped orebody he calls Graal—a potential trove of nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum-group metals that could help feed the electric-vehicle revolution. “We’re trying to do a targeted drilling program,” Basa told InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes. “It’l...

Mark Thackeray wants the sun to do more than just shine – he wants it to spin, cool, and cleanse. His vision: a single device that can fuel homes and factories long after dusk by harnessing sunlight in multiple ways. Thackeray, the chairman of Icarus Groups, has been developing exactly that. The result is the Icarus Sun Mill, an off-grid power unit that promises round-the-clock electricity, potabl...

Titanium, not gold or lithium, is the metal that Christopher Eager believes will rewrite Brazil’s mining narrative. “Our high-grade zone is 23% titanium dioxide, which is almost a concentrate as it stands,” the newly minted CEO and still-chairman of Resouro Strategic Metals Inc. (ASX: RAU | TSXV: RSM | OTCQB: RSGOF) told InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes, underscoring why the company’s colossal Tiros...

When supply-chain fractures threaten the bedrock of modern medicine, Brent Willis answers with a mine. The former military officer-turned-executive has steered Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (TSXV: VM | OTC: VYYRF) from a scrappy retail finance story into a potential linchpin of North America’s radiology-drug security, and—judging by his buoyant performance on InvestorNews—he has no intention of sl...

Leveraging its position as America’s leading uranium producer, Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU | TSX: EFR) is simultaneously building itself into a linchpin of the Western rare earth magnet chain, guided by Daniel Kapostasy, the geologist who quietly weighs every deal that crosses the Denver headquarters. “The key thing for the rare earth side is that it’s monazite—that’s the mineral we wan...

Seven billion dollars in glinting bullion—vaulted in Switzerland and destined to underwrite a new class of critical mineral financing—has catapulted Toronto-based CVMR® Corporation onto the center stage of the global supply-chain drama. “Physically put $7 billion worth of gold in a vault that you can go and touch and feel, and that backs whatever investment you make,” CEO Kamran M. Khozan told Inv...

A patch of ionic-clay countryside in Goiás State, Brazil, has become the stage on which Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API | OTCQB: APAAF) is betting its future. “We feel this is a project that could make it all the way to development,” CEO Tom Drivas declared in an interview with InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes. The company, a Toronto-listed explorer with uranium claims in Ontario’s h...

A three-decade-old network of self-styled “nerds” is quietly turning the most mundane corner of the digital economy—small-business IT housekeeping—into a growth story that refuses to flatline. “We’re up 21% in revenues already this quarter,” Charles Regan told InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes, glasses flashing in the studio lights. “I’d be smiling more often if I were a shareholder.”Nerds On Site In...

Scarcity, not abundance, is the real story behind the sand beneath our feet. In a world where quartz seems as common as air, only a handful of deposits meet the chemical perfection required for semiconductors, solar-glass furnaces, and the next generation of battery anodes. That paradox—plentiful element, vanishingly rare purity—propels two Canadian-led ventures now racing to supply a United State...

Canada’s next polymetallic mine is being mapped foot by foot beneath a quilt of muskeg and black spruce in Québec’s James Bay, where the drills of Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN | OTCQB: PNPNF) chew through ultramafic rock at a pace few juniors can finance, let alone sustain. Power Metallic Mines—formed around the Nisk Project Area and now expanded to encompass the Nisk-Lion-Tiger corridor—...

(CSE: API | OTCQB: APAAF) has begun to devour Brazil’s ionic clays with a drilling blitz that underscores its ambition to become a rare earths powerhouse. “We started drilling with one drill on August 1st, and two weeks later we brought in the second drill,” chief executive Tom Drivas told InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes. “We’ve completed close to 45 drill hole...

Silver has begun moving through a seven-mile desert supply chain outside Globe, Arizona, with the reliability of an assembly line rather than the fits-and-starts rhythm typical of junior miners. “We’re hauling out mineralized material from the Super Champ vein, trucking it to our mill, and processing it into silver and gold concentrate,” Peter Clausi, Director and VP of Capital Markets at Silver B...

“Neo’s had a very good run, but it’s just the beginning.” Rahim Suleman, the measured President and CEO of Neo Performance Materials Inc. (TSX: NEO | OTCQX: NOPMF), is not a man given to hyperbole. But when the leader of a 30-year-old company that has quietly supplied the building blocks of modern technology suddenly finds his magnets held aloft at the G7 Summit by Ursula von der Leyen and Canadia...

The United States has forgotten how to make its own magnets, and Jack Lifton sees the amnesia as a national-security risk hiding in plain sight. “There is no heavy-rare earth production in the Americas at this point, and there is no heavy rare earth separation plant to produce the high-purity oxides necessary for making the rare earth metals necessary for high-coercivity magnets,” Lifton tells int...

Rare earth magnets may be invisible inside an electric motor, but in Rahim Suleman’s hands they have become geopolitical fulcrums. “Regardless of whether rare earth prices are high or low, it doesn’t really matter to Neo,” the President and CEO of Neo Performance Materials Inc. (TSX: NEO | OTCQX: NOPMF) told InvestorNews host Jack Lifton in a recent interview, underscoring the competitive moat tha...

The Golden Triangle of British Columbia has always attracted big mining dreams—but Kevin Keough says Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: RG) may hold one of the best undrilled copper-gold porphyry prospects left in the province. “We have, I think, probably the best new undrilled porphyry copper-gold prospect in the province at Trek South,” Keough told me. “That’s how good it is—or appears to be—at t...
