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—...

Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (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...

Tungsten is not just another industrial metal—it is, as Ali Haji puts it, “the number one military metal,” and American Tungsten Corp. (CSE: TUNG | OTCQB: DEMRF) intends to be first to production in North America within 12 to 18 months. Speaking from the company’s headquarters in Canada, Haji describes the Ima Mine Project in Idaho as “a strategic asset” at a time when the U.S. is explicitly fundi...

In a sector hungry for lighter, greener, longer‑lasting materials, Guy Bourassa does not blink: “Scandium is the future.”The veteran mine‑builder now helms Scandium Canada Ltd. (TSXV: SCD), a company whose stated aim is “to bring the world’s leading primary source of scandium into production, enabling the development and commercialization of aluminum‑scandium (Al‑Sc) alloys.” From its Crater Lake...

The global contest for critical minerals has found its latest front in the vast steppes of Central Asia, and few figures embody that shift more vividly than Pini Althaus, the Australian-born dealmaker who once steered USA Rare Earth, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAR) and now, as managing partner of Cove Capital LLC, is staking fresh claims from Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan. “We’re experiencing a very hands-on, prac...

In an era defined by critical minerals and geopolitical fractures, Volta Metals Ltd. (CSE: VLTA) has emerged as a stealth contender armed with gallium, rare earths, and a bold vision rooted in Canadian bedrock. “We’re focused on critical minerals,” said Kerem Usenmez, President and CEO of the Toronto-based exploration company. “We’re focused in Ontario.” But Volta’s story is more than just geograp...

When the King Tut gold project first crossed Peter Clausi’s desk, the answer was an emphatic no. “I was firmly against it,” Clausi admitted during a candid InvestorNews interview. “We’re busy enough. We’re putting two mines into production. We’re fine-tuning the mill. We’re negotiating contracts for the sale of the concentrate. We don’t need another project.”But for Clausi—never one to overlook a...

In Quebec’s sub‑arctic taiga, the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach has done more than permit a mine on its ancestral land—it has bought into the metal that could lighten every jet, satellite, and electric vehicle now on drawing boards around the world. Scandium Canada Ltd. (TSXV: SCD), which is advancing the Crater Lake deposit as what it calls “the world’s leading primary source of scandium,” co...

From mining Bitcoin in rural British Columbia to engineering SCIF‑rated data centers for quantum‑ready defense work, DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSXV: DMGI | OTCQB: DMGGF) has quietly emerged as Canada’s stealth contender at the crossroads of crypto and national security. “We’ve publicly stated that DMG has secured up to 10 megawatts of SCIF‑rated modular data centers,” CEO Sheldon Bennett told...

For four decades, Kamran M. Khozan—Founder, CEO and Chairman of CVMR® Corporation—has pressed metallurgy, capital markets and public policy toward one audacious idea: emancipating critical minerals from the financing gridlock that keeps them scarce, opaque and under‑valued. CVMR, headquartered in Toronto but active in 22 countries, can refine 36 metals into ultra‑pure powders and net‑shape product...

Beryllium is the metal that keeps missiles on target and fighter‑jet mirrors razor‑sharp, yet for 56 years the world has relied on a single Utah mine to get it. Rockland Resources Ltd. (CSE: RKL | OTCQB: BERLF) believes that choke‑point is untenable—and that its three new claims in Juab County can help pry open the bottleneck before demand from next‑generation weapons systems eclipses supply. Rock...

Not since tungsten’s Cold War heyday has a niche metal assumed such outsized geopolitical weight, yet James “Jim” Atkinson insists that antimony’s moment has arrived—and that his small New Brunswick explorer is poised to answer Washington’s call. “Antimony is incredibly important to the U.S., not only to the military but to industries in general,” the Antimony Resources Corp. (CSE: ATMY | FSE: K8J...

Silicon, the quiet titan of modern technology, commands a market ten to fifteen times larger than rare earths, yet it still glides under mainstream investors’ radar. That paradox is precisely what drew InvestorNews host Jack Lifton to Brian Leeners, CEO and Director of Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR | OTCQB: HMRFF), a Brazilian-based upstart determined to rewrite the global supply story for ult...

Silver, Frank Basa contends, is on the brink of “going ballistic,” and the veteran miner is positioning Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. (TSXV: NTH | OTCQB: CCWOF) to catch the blast. Basa’s company operates the only permitted high-grade silver mill in Ontario’s storied Cobalt Camp, a 63-square-kilometer domain where drill results at the Castle East discovery have already outlined 7.56 million inf...

Pat Ryan is betting that a cross-functional playbook—honed in Detroit’s auto plants and now redeployed on the Gulf Coast—can outrun Beijing’s tightening grip on rare earth know-how. “Capital is not going to get you anything unless you have the people with the expertise,” the Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU | OTCQX: UURAF) CEO told InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes, ticking off a string of recent hi...

Bitcoin’s next evolution may be defined less by raw megawatts than by rigor—rigor in carbon accounting, regulatory compliance, and balance-sheet discipline. “We are a low-cost provider of hashing*,” says Sheldon Bennett, the CEO of DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSXV: DMGI | OTCQB: DMGGF), “and our HODL** has been growing.” [*Hashing is the high-speed cryptographic computation that secures the Bit...
