A junior miner in Arizona says it has no intention of waiting on the next drill hole.“Why not do that in the mining industry?” John Carter, CEO and director of Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF), said in an interview with InvestorNews.com host Tracy Hughes, referring to the aviation sector’s hub-and-spoke model. Silver Bullet Mines Corp. describes itself as “a mining company foc...

(TSXV: DMGI | OTCQB: DMGGF), described a company that began as a pure-play Bitcoin miner and is now positioning itself as...

A newly renamed junior explorer is preparing to test a drill-ready copper-gold target in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle after completing a corporate restructuring and publishing a new technical report. In an interview with InvestorNews.com host Tracy Hughes, Kevin Keough, CEO and Director of Oreterra Metals Corp. (TSXV: OTMC), said the company’s rebranding reflects a reset in both identity and...

Cesium remains one of the least discussed but most constrained materials in the critical minerals universe, and that scarcity is now shaping the near-term focus of Grid Metals Corp. (TSXV: GRDM | OTCQB: MSMGF) as it advances a near-surface cesium discovery in southeastern Manitoba.“Our company is a Canadian junior exploration company based in Toronto, with operations in Manitoba,” said Robin Dunba...

Since listing in April, Allied Critical Metals Inc. (CSE: ACM | OTCQB: ACMIF) has been advancing a redevelopment timeline that few Western tungsten projects can credibly outline, centered on the past-producing Borralha Tungsten Project in northern Portugal and framed by an explicit goal of entering production as early as 2026.“Let’s start with the deposit that makes everything possible,” said Roy...

The market can ignore a deposit for years—until the supply chain can’t. Resouro Strategic Metals Inc. (ASX: RAU) (TSXV: RSM) (OTCQB: RSGOF) is a Canadian incorporated mineral exploration and development company advancing mineral projects in Brazil, led by Christopher Eager as CEO and chairman. Its flagship is the Tiros Titanium–Rare Earths Project in Minas Gerais, spanning 28 mineral concessions t...

The politics of stockpiles are easy; the physics of stockpiles are not. The moment you move from a headline to a warehouse, “critical minerals” stop being a talking point and become a punishing exercise in specification, processing, and time. In a recent InvestorNews.com interview, Tracy Hughes pressed Jack Lifton, Co-Chair of the Critical Minerals Institute (CMI), on the week’s headline-grabbing...

In an era when supply chains have become geopolitical weapons, the most strategic materials are often the ones most people can’t name—and scandium may be the purest example. In a recent InvestorNews.com conversation, world-renowned critical minerals expert Jack Lifton sat down with Guy Bourassa to discuss what Scandium Canada Ltd. (TSXV: SCD) calls North America’s largest primary source of scandiu...

Defense Metals Corp.’s (TSXV: DEFN | OTCQB: DFMTF) development of the Wicheeda Rare Earth Element Project in central British Columbia — which the company says positions Wicheeda as one of the most advanced undeveloped rare earth deposits in North America and Europe — has been marked by a series of technical milestones, strengthened leadership, capital market support and stakeholder partnerships ov...

The rare earth industry has stopped being a supply chain and started behaving like a lever of power. In a recent Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) Masterclass, Melissa “Mel” Sanderson framed the moment with the kind of blunt historical bookends that turn policy talk into something closer to strategy: in 2011, she argued, “today began” when China curtailed Japan’s access to rare earths—an early sig...

Control of 582 hectares of Brazilian farmland has become the hinge on which Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR | OTCQB: HMRFF) plans to swing its entire energy-transition strategy. In a wide-ranging conversation with InvestorNews.com host Tracy Hughes, CEO and Director Brian Leeners ties that land package—Fazenda Conjunto São José e Nova Esperança in the Santa Maria Eterna Silica Sand District—dire...

Power is shifting beneath North America’s feet, and the tremors are being misread in Washington. What looks, on the surface, like another round of cross-border political noise — Greenland one week, Governor Mark Carney the next — is, in Jack Lifton’s telling, something far deeper: the United States coming to terms with the fact that Canada is no longer a junior partner, and never really was. “Cana...

Silver is no longer just creeping higher—it's surging, and the market is being forced to reckon with a metal that has quietly moved from monetary afterthought to industrial linchpin. That was the framing that emerged as InvestorNews.com host Tracy Hughes sat down with Peter Clausi, Director and VP of Capital Markets at Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI | OTCQB: SBMCF, as silver prices smas...

Greenland has increasingly been framed in public debate as a potential cornerstone of future critical minerals supply. Yet in a wide-ranging conversation with InvestorNews.com host Tracy Hughes, Jack Lifton, co chair of the Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) and one of the world’s most respected critical minerals experts, challenged that narrative directly. Lifton argued that claims surrounding Gre...

In an era when supply chains are weaponized and stockpiles have quietly vanished, tungsten has moved from an obscure industrial input to the metal no serious power can afford to ignore. That transformation — from “very unsexy” to what one analyst calls one of the “sexiest” critical minerals in the market — was the focus of the Critical Minerals Institute’s Tungsten Masterclass, where the conversat...

The rare earth supply chain just moved a step closer to Western self-sufficiency. In a landmark deal, Australian Strategic Materials Ltd (ASX: ASM) will be acquired by Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU | TSX: EFR), creating what ASM CEO Rowena Smith calls a “rare earth mine all the way through to alloy champion.” The transaction, valued at approximately A$447 million, brings together ASM’s me...

Scandium Canada’s steady rise in the critical minerals landscape illustrates how a once-obscure metal could become essential to advanced manufacturing and stronger, more resilient supply chains. In a discussion with InvestorNews.com host and Hallgarten + Company Analyst Christopher Ecclestone, Guy Bourassa, CEO and Director of Scandium Canada Ltd. (TSXV: SCD) explained why scandium—still unfamilia...

In a world where even tiny amounts of rare materials can power major technologies, even the most ordinary rock can become strategically important. That is the wager Marcy Kiesman is making — not in a policy paper or a Silicon Valley pitch deck, but in the plainspoken cadence of a mining executive who still talks like someone who remembers what it’s like to carry a hammer into the woods. In a recen...

From the outset of the interview, it was clear this was no ordinary conversation with a junior mining CEO, but a moment staged by Christopher Ecclestone — Principal and mining strategist at Hallgarten & Company in London and host of InvestorNews.com interviews — to spotlight a project that might just redefine a historic gold district. Mike England, CEO and Director of Rockland Resources Ltd. (...

The future of critical minerals will not be decided in conference rooms or policy papers, but in jurisdictions where geology, infrastructure, and political reality align—and Namibia is increasingly one of those places. That was the clear message from a recent conversation between Jack Lifton, widely regarded as the world’s leading rare earths expert and Co-Chair of the Critical Minerals Institute...

In the hidden corridors of Idaho’s abandoned IMA Mine, American Tungsten Corp. (CSE: TUNG | OTCQB: TUNGF) is laying the groundwork for a revival that its CEO says could mark the first new U.S. tungsten production in more than a decade, a development that has deep-reaching implications for strategic supply chains. American Tungsten Corp., a Canadian exploration company advancing the IMA Mine Projec...

Silver is being redefined. With prices recently pushing into the mid-$30s per ounce, China imposing new export controls, and Washington formally adding silver to its critical minerals list, this technology metal is moving from a traditional commodity into the category of strategic industrial input — a transition the broader market has only begun to absorb. That shift helps explain why shareholders...

Capital is telling a story about metals long before prices do, and by the end of 2025, that story had swelled to three-quarters of a trillion dollars. That figure—more than US$750 billion parked in metal and mining exchange-traded funds—is not an abstraction, according to Christopher Berlet, President and Chief Investment Officer of MineralFunds.com, but the measurable result of capital reallocati...

Control of raw materials is increasingly determining who survives in critical pharmaceutical supply chains, and Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (TSXV: VM | OTC Pink: VYYRF) is positioning itself accordingly.

Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: HPY) may be small in market capitalization, but under its new leader the company is staking its claim at the center of one of the geopolitically charged commodities of our time. Stephen Gray, who only joined the Vancouver-area junior explorer as President and CEO in November, didn’t take the traditional route to the corner office. “I’m a mining engineer by backgrou...
