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 Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI | OTC...

“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 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, even ...

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 interviewer Ellis Martin with characte...

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 that a diversified, mid-stream strateg...

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 funding domestic tungsten supply to shor...

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.

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 good story or a rare opportunity—th...

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,” confirmed last week that the communit...

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 products; now Khozan wants to make those m...

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.Rockland President Will Rascan starts ev...

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: K8J0) chief executive told InvestorNew...

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.

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 hires: an operations veteran, a Ph.D....

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 Bitcoin network; **HODL—short for “Hol...
