Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order restricting nonferrous mining near the Boundary Waters after Congress moved to roll back federal protections for the region. The order directs Minnesota agencies to halt new environmental reviews, permitting work and new state leases for nonferrous mining in the Rainy River Headwaters... show more

🚨🚨🚨 We just learned that the House is going to be voting TOMORROW on H.J.Res 140: the single largest threat posed to the Boundary Waters to date. This bill would *permanently* open the Boundary Waters up to mining, and prevent all future administrations from protecting these public lands. This would pave the way for sulfide-ore copper mining in the region -- the most toxic industry in America -- which has never been allowed in Minnesota before. It would cause irreversible damange to the most visited wilderness area in the country. And this would be a massive sell-out to foreign interests over the American people. This would give mining rights to Trump's Chilean-based mining company billionaire buddies, who will extract our resources, pollute our air, land, and water, permanently damage our pristine Boundary Waters, and leave Minnesotans to foot the bill for the clean up. I'm urging all of my colleagues to vote NO. We need to get loud and stop this legislation.

There is widespread misinformation being spread about the Aravalli mining order, so let’s put the verified facts on record. A clarification has been issued by the Press Information Bureau, based directly on the judgment of the Supreme Court of India. First, this Supreme Court order was not passed to destroy the Aravallis, but to protect them. For years, multiple cases of illegal and unregulated mining were coming to the Court because different States were using different definitions of what counts as an Aravalli hill or range. Now the most important fact. The so-called 100-metre rule is not new. It was decided by a Rajasthan State Committee in 2002 and implemented in 2006. Under this rule, any landform rising 100 metres or more above surrounding land is treated as a hill, and mining is banned not just on the hilltop but also on its slopes, treating the entire hill as one ecological unit. The expert committee appointed by the Supreme Court found that Rajasthan was the only State with a clear, legally notified and scientific definition. Because of this, Gujarat, Haryana and the Delhi region agreed to adopt the same rule, along with stronger safeguards, so that one uniform standard applies across the entire Aravalli belt. Another major misinformation is that mining is now allowed below 100 metres. This is false. Many areas below 100 metres are still part of protected hills, connected ranges, wildlife corridors and eco-sensitive zones, where mining remains prohibited. For the first time, entire Aravalli ranges, meaning groups of nearby hills and the land between them, are being treated as one protected ecological system, so slopes and foothills cannot be mined separately. Finally, the Supreme Court has imposed a temporary stay on all new mining leases in the Aravalli region until a comprehensive Sustainable Mining Management Plan is prepared. Existing mines can continue only under strict environmental compliance. In short, the rule was old, the protection has been strengthened, and fresh mining has been paused, not expanded.

During the meeting—attended by the Minister and the management of Thor Explorations Company—we reached an amicable resolution on several key issues, including: ✅ Osun State’s shareholding in Segilola Mining Company ✅ Tax payments by the firm ✅ Environmental degradation concerns ✅ Disputed mining fields I commended the Minister’s prompt intervention and, indeed, President Tinubu’s administration for its ongoing reforms in the nation’s mining sector—a model that we are replicating to drive our own reforms in Osun State. I also expressed my appreciation to the Minister for facilitating this resolution, which has yielded positive results for our dear state. Furthermore, I reaffirmed Osun’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment that sustains existing investors and attracts new ones across all sectors. The meeting concluded with a formal resolution on the transfer of Osun State’s shareholding, along with agreements on the exchange of data related to tax claims, environmental impact, and mining field disputes. The highlight of the event was the official presentation of the Osun shareholding certificate by the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Mr. Dele Alake—a significant milestone for our administration and the people of Osun State.

INSIDE OYO NATIONAL PARK: HOW ILLEGAL MINING HAS TURNED A PROTECTED FOREST INTO A LAWLESS COMMUNITY. As some of you might recall, i did a light report about illegal mining carried out in Old Oyo National Park which is linked to Kwara State as well in 2023. After the report which, I remembered reaching out to Ministry of Mining, a taskforce was established to curtail the activities of the miners, it worked effectively especially at the Oyo state side but it wasn't working effectively in Kwara state. After the killings of 5 National Park personnel by bandits last week, which I broke the news, I carried out an investigation to see the level of compliance at the Old Oyo National Park where lithium mining activity is going, then i discovered the said mining has become a full blown community. The current number of illegal miners operating at Old Oyo National Park is estimated to be between 200,000 and 400,000, including individuals involved in buying and selling activities at the site. According to my research , there is nothing sold outside the illegal mining site that is not also sold within the site. Items sold include foodstuffs, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and various forms of hard drugs. There is also the presence of sex workers who render their services to illegal miners inside grass huts constructed within the area. Additionally, medical drugs and medical items such as needles, injections, and intravenous fluids are openly sold at the site. Explosives are also sold to illegal miners and are used for blasting lithium during excavation. There are thousands of blacksmiths on site who fabricate various tools used for illegal mining activities, including shovels, diggers, chisels, and hammers. There is a high rate of child labour at the illegal mining site, also known as Daba. These children are used mainly for sorting lithium from rocks. The illegal mining site is divided into two sections: the Yoruba illegal mining section and the Hausa/Fulani illegal mining section. Both sections are located within Old Oyo National Park. The road leading to the illegal mining site (Daba) is not motorable. Access to the site is only possible by motorcycle. All extracted lithium is transported by motorcycles to Bonni, Igbeti, or Soro in Kishi. This indicates that illegal miners access the mining site through Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni. As at the time of writing this report, many empty trucks are observed entering through Igbeti, Oyo State, heading directly to Bonni, and passing through Bonni to Jeba Oloru, Kwara State, from where the lithium is transported to destinations of their choice. They operate within the confines of laws established by the illegal miners’ chairman, popularly known as “CD.” Anyone who commits the crime of stealing is punished by death. The area is so enclosed that outsiders can be fished out by them. A bike man who carries lithium from the forest to the truck earns ₦12,000 per bag. One bag of lithium weighs 100kg, and they carry two bags, making 200kg. The miners are so familiar with the area that they can easily move to Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni in Kwara State from the forest while evading security forces without being noticed, because many of them have been living in the forest for more than three years without seeing the outside world. It is imperative that both the Kwara State Government, Oyo State Government, and the Federal Government get hold of this before it becomes a security problem for the whole country. Illegal mining in Old Oyo National Park is progressing, not regressing.

Sand Mafia K.Annamalai has stolen 1000s of tons of sand from Noyyal river by sending a Hyundai and a Komatsu sand mining crawler equipment into Noyyal River. Sand mining was done up to a stretch of almost one kilometer and annamalai's land was filled with the sand excavated from the river bed in complete violation of both criminal and environmental laws. A complaint was made to police, Thasildhar, Collector District Collector, Coimbatore and SP by one Mr. Babu but of no avail. Not even CSR was issued by the police despite agreeing that it amounted to public property theft. As a result of it, Muttathu Ayyanar Temple on the banks of Noyyal River is expected to be inundated. Local protests by commoners were ignored by annamalai who has been promising to meet them but despite one month of stopping of the act by locals, he has avoided visiting them. It is criminal act by of sand theft by K.Annamalai. It is also a huge environmental violation and a case is being filed in appropriate forum for environmental violation. The reason for praising TVK Vijay in New Jersey, America was to ensure no action is taken against him for such huge environmental violation. The act of sand mining was carried out without any permissions and i am filing a case against district collector for dereliction of duty despite petitions in this regard by one Mr. Babu, a local BJP Tamilnadu activist. Request CMOTamilNadu to order an impartial probe into as to how the Thasidhar, VAO and others colluded with Annamalai and permitted such a huge violation to take place. SP/Collector must impound the 2 equipment in question and take criminal action against annamalai for sand theft and environmental violation. Shouldn't we call him #SandMafia_Annamalai?!

Lithium mining activity going on at the Old Oyo National Park, the first frame showed the sorting process of the earthy minerals at the Old Oyo National park while the other two videos shows logistics activities of the bikes. Ranging from there are multiple entries to the site either from Oyo State via Kishi and Igbeti or via Bani a border town along Kwara and Oyo State. Once a bike enters the forest, there are about 7 - 8 checkpoints within the forest which is controlled by locals providing security for miners in the forest. Each of this checkpoint charges each bike per trip ranging from 100naira, 200,300 and 500naira while the last checkpoint which will lead you to Daba (illegal mining) charges 2,700naira per trip. And the estimated population of the bikes plying through the area is around 3000 to 5000 bikes. Which is significantly increasing, the mining which has started about 8yrs ago has been accepted by all parties both locals and foreigners including the Chinese who are actively participating in buying the minerals there. It is an organized crime and has many wings because those who do not mine but just look for logistics companies to pick up the items earn about 500,000 naira on each truck they bring forward. The local security earn more than 300,000 naira daily for those recieving 100naira as gate fee. The Federal Govt and State Govt needs to pay a huge and urgent attention to this mining activity, it is a billion dollar economy which is been illegally mined.

An entire new city was proposed and planned to be built in California A proposed $3.2 billion shipyard was meant to be the cornerstone of the city But the company decided they didn’t want to spent years saying for permits and environmental studies. They chose Texas instead California Democrats are a cancer to any new developments. They make it impossible “California has watched companies like Tesla and Chevron move their headquarters to Texas, and now a potential major investment, a proposed shipyard, is also heading there. Tonight, supporters of California Forever are calling it another major blow for the entire state's workforce — California's lost out to Texas was a real gut punch — one of the project's biggest economic promises headed elsewhere. Defense tech company Saronic announced it will build its next-gen shipyard in Brownsville, Texas, picking the area over the proposed California Forever site, taking with it a $3.2 billion investment” “Another factor was California's permitting process. We know from the news today that Saronic Technologies pointed toward Texas as a state that was able to cut through red tape. Red tape that includes lengthy environmental reviews and years of permitting before major projects can move forward” This is the classic way California Democrats block projects, never ending environmental studies and permitting

I like how he highlighted Galamsey. For anyone who’s new or doesn’t know about Galamsey. Galamsey basically means illegal mining. It happens in the Ashanti region, Central, Eastern and Western region, among others. It basically means mining without a license, often carried out in rivers , forests and other protected areas. The consequences of galamsey are serious because it leads to water pollution, destruction of farmlands, and loss of biodiversity. Mercury and cyanide, chemicals often used in the process, contaminate rivers and waterbodies, making them unsafe for drinking and farming. Many communities rely on the water from these rivers that are contaminated. Water treatments centers are shutting down due to the inability to filter the contaminated water. Babies are being born with birth defects, and there’s been a rise in kidney failure and other health related cases. Aside from the health and environmental impacts, Galamsey has severe social consequences. Some children are trafficked into illegal mining operations, often working in dangerous conditions for long hours. Galamsey is an ecosystem consisting of various actors that sustain its operations. We have political actors that protect these concessions, Chiefs that allow the destruction to continue, front liners who are on the ground, gold smugglers, foreign actors and so on. #StopGalamseyNow

Former Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann confirms that Democrats create inflated budgets so they can launder taxpayer money through grants to their friends’ NGOs. “Here’s the dirty secret that people don’t understand about Minnesota. Progressive lawmakers have been inflating Minnesota’s budget so they can create grants to fund nonprofits that ultimately are for their friends, their supporters, and their constituent groups. So our state budget is a pass-through entity. It’s a financial funnel that goes from federal money, state money, to local money, but it goes through nonprofits. So friends of the progressives in Minnesota, who for decades have run this state, create a nonprofit, register it with the Minnesota Secretary of State, and then all of a sudden they can receive funding. A lot of these jobs are no-work jobs. So we are now not just dealing with fraud, but with an intentional scam that has been going on for decades and decades in Minnesota.” In other words: Exactly what the U.S. Congress does.

The Junior Mining Trade is Finally On and Here's Why For junior mining investors, 2024 has been a mixed bag of patience and promise. While the price of gold and silver has been skyrocketing to levels unseen in over 20 years, junior mining stocks haven’t kept pace. Many investors who poured money into smallcap exploration companies expecting them to follow gold’s surge are getting restless. But things are finally looking up for this lagging sector, and it’s all about where we’re at in the natural resource cycle. Let’s break down what’s happening and what might be on the horizon. Gold and Silver Are Shining—So Where Are the Juniors? Over the past year, the price of gold has climbed nearly 38%, with silver up a stunning 42.5%. Yet, despite these record-breaking moves, the smaller companies focused on exploration and discovery, the juniors, have barely moved. The S&P TSX Global Mining Index is up a respectable 23%, but the TSX Venture Metals and Mining Index, where most juniors trade, has only eked out a 9% gain. What gives? The answer lies in understanding how large and small mining companies navigate their roles in the precious metals cycle. Large mining firms like Newmont have been basking in higher prices, increasing production, and capitalizing on high margins. But for smaller companies, the real opportunity often comes when large producers start feeling the need to secure future supply. And here in late 2024, that moment is just arriving. The Resource Equation: Why Giants Like Newmont Look to the Smaller Names To understand how the big miners influence juniors, let’s look at Newmont Corporation, the world’s largest gold miner, operating across four continents. Newmont’s primary goal is to produce as much gold as possible at the lowest possible cost. But mining is unlike most industries—every ton of ore that comes out of the ground depletes reserves. Once Newmont extracts an ounce of gold, it’s gone for good. And unless it adds new ounces to its portfolio, production eventually declines, and so does the stock price. For a giant like Newmont, replacing these reserves through new discoveries is costly, risky, and time-consuming. Companies like Newmont prefer to purchase assets that are already developed or nearly so. Recently, Newmont acquired Newcrest in a $28.8 billion deal, marking the largest gold merger to date. Newcrest itself grew through acquisitions, buying up promising mines like Red Chris and Brucejack to shore up its reserves. By buying Newcrest, Newmont added high-quality, low-cost ounces to its portfolio, but the global giant still needs to continually replenish reserves to meet production demands. That’s where the juniors come in. Agnico-Eagle and the Depletion Dilemma Agnico-Eagle, the second largest gold producer, faces similar challenges. After its own string of acquisitions, including a merger with Kirkland Lake Gold and the purchase of Yamana’s assets, Agnico has continued to produce significant volumes of gold. But high production volumes mean reserves are also dwindling fast. Take Agnico’s mines in Mexico, Pinos Altos and La India, which once held nearly 80 million tonnes of gold and silver ore. After a decade of operation, these assets are close to depletion. Agnico has exploration projects, but it’s unclear if they’ll be able to replenish the company’s gold supply at the rate it’s being depleted. For Agnico, acquiring developed assets is a faster solution, but with competition increasing, the company may soon have to look at even smaller players—putting junior mining companies back in the spotlight. The Junior Mining Cycle: Positioned for Growth? As long as gold and silver prices remain high, big mining companies will be on the lookout for acquisitions to secure future production. In fact, the 23% gain in the S&P TSX Global Mining Index and the 45% one-year return on the GDX signal that the metals rally is starting to reach mining stocks. The trend is only beginning to impact juniors, but it’s gaining momentum. Soon, even higher-risk, earlier-stage exploration companies may become prime acquisition targets for larger miners. For juniors, this translates into real opportunity. As big miners get hungrier for reserves, they’ll go further up the risk curve to secure assets, bringing much-needed capital into the space. Exploration companies that prove their resource quality, viability, and production potential may see increased valuations and potentially, acquisition offers. And with investor attention gradually returning to the sector, the right companies could see significant price moves. How to Navigate the Junior Mining Space The challenge, of course, is identifying which juniors have what it takes to make it. As some veteran mining investors will tell you, success often depends less on the project itself and more on the people managing it. I’ve spoken with Rick Rule, Doug Casey, and Frank Giustra over the last year and they all emphasize the importance of strong management teams in mining. A great deposit in the hands of an inexperienced team can lead to wasted resources, while an average deposit managed well can turn into a profitable operation. The Deep Dive has hosted numerous junior mining CEOs who’ve given us insight into their companies, strategies, and outlooks. One example is Silver Tiger Metals, which has been developing a promising silver asset in Sonora, Mexico, close to Agnico’s Pinos Altos. We spoke with their CEO, Glenn Jessome, about how he plans to bring the project to fruition. For investors, hearing directly from these leaders can provide a clearer sense of who knows what they’re doing and who might struggle if challenges arise. 2025: A Big Year Ahead for Junior Mining? The signs are there—2025 could be a pivotal year for junior miners. The macroeconomic backdrop is favorable, with sustained demand for gold and silver likely as inflationary pressures and a strong dollar drive more investors into metals. Meanwhile, big mining firms are looking to juniors to secure their future production, meaning higher acquisition interest and more money flowing into exploration companies. If you’re watching the junior mining space, keep an eye on the fundamentals: Who has strong management? Which projects are positioned in promising jurisdictions? And crucially, who has the financing and expertise to make the most of their assets? Where to Start If you want to follow our efforts, subscribe to The Deep Dive to stay updated on all things junior mining. We’ll continue to feature CEOs and industry experts to bring you insights directly from the companies on the frontlines of this cycle. And if you have questions for our guests, let us know in the comments—chances are they’re reading too.

On March 31, Trump signed his second executive order on elections: it directs USPS to send mail-in ballots only to voters on a verified federal citizenship list — in tracked, barcoded envelopes. DHS and the Social Security Administration compile the citizenship list for each state. States submit their verified mail voter rolls to USPS 60 days before any federal election. USPS is directed to process ballots only for voters on that list. Election officials who distribute ballots to ineligible voters face potential prosecution by the AG. Non-compliant states risk losing federal funding. Democrats in multiple states pledged to sue within minutes of the signing. Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have all threatened legal challenges. The order pressures Congress to pass the SAVE America Act — proof of citizenship to register, photo ID to vote. The House passed it. The Senate hasn’t voted. Trump: “You may find a rogue judge. But that’s the only way it could be changed.”

“To Americans, I ask you this. Please stand with Minneapolis. To Minnesotans, know that our administration is going to stop at nothing to seek accountability and justice,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says at a news conference after the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE officer in south Minneapolis. “And from here on, I have a very simple message. We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you've done enough,” Walz says, adding that he has issued a warning order for the state's National Guard to prepare to be deployed, if necessary.

REPORT | The State of Illinois and the City of Chicago filed a joint lawsuit Monday to stop President Trump from sending National Guard troops into the state. Gov. JB Pritzker blasted the plan as “Trump’s invasion,” after Trump first ordered 300 Illinois Guard members into federal service, then called up 400 more from Texas as part of his deportation campaign. The suit names Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as defendants, and seeks a restraining order to block the mobilization. The filing came just hours after a federal judge in Oregon barred Trump from deploying Guard troops there, after reports the White House planned to redirect 300 California soldiers to Portland. Gov. Gavin Newsom confirmed the order halts “any federalization, relocation, or deployment of Guard members to Oregon from any state.” In Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order designating city-owned parking lots, garages, and vacant lots as “ICE-free zones,” blocking federal immigration agents from using them as staging areas or processing sites. In nearby Broadview, the location of the ICE processing facility, the mayor has issued an executive order restricting protests outside the facility to the hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Starting today, demonstrations outside those times will be banned. 🎥 Video: Drop Site contributor Taha Syed spoke to a family that live across the street from the Broadview ICE facility. They blamed ICE and the police presence for the chaos. /1

NEW: The Treasury Department says it's stopped nearly $100 million in federal payments from going out to dead people thanks to a new fraud detection system rolled out under President Trump's executive order. After Trump's signing, the Department of the Treasury and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service implemented a verification process that reviewed more than 885 million payments totaling approximately $2.77 trillion. That screening flagged more than 4,900 payments totaling nearly $99 million that were associated with deceased individuals, returning the payments to the originating federal agencies for review before any funds were disbursed. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the department believes it could stop as much as $350 million in improper payments by the end of the year.

🚨$UBER backed Atoms vs. NRED + EyeX: two different bets on the future of autonomous mining Atoms recently announced a $1.7 billion equity investment led by a16z, with Uber participating. Its mining division is anchored by Pronto, whose autonomous haulage technology has reportedly moved more than two million tons and is being deployed across 100+ trucks. But there may be another, much smaller physical-AI mining story developing through NovaRed Mining (CSE: NRED / OTCQB: NREDF) and On July 13, NRED announced a 30-day exclusive standstill and due-diligence process regarding the potential acquisition of an interest in EyeX technology. Importantly, there is no completed acquisition yet, and no deal is guaranteed. So how do the two strategies compare? Atoms + Pronto Atoms is currently focused on automating physical work inside operating mines: Autonomous haul trucks OEM-agnostic fleet retrofits Cameras, LiDAR and radar Commercial quarry and mining deployments Immediate productivity and labor savings Atoms is essentially building the autonomous execution layer for established industrial operations. NRED + EyeX The potential NRED–EyeX combination would approach mining from an earlier and potentially broader point in the value chain. NRED’s MetalCore platform integrates more than 4.1 million geological, geochemical, geophysical and mineral-property records to identify and prioritize exploration targets. EyeX then adds two connected capabilities: AI perception and command: cameras, drones, thermal systems, vehicles and robots detecting terrain changes, equipment, hazards, minerals and operational activity. Autonomous robotics: intelligent ground, aerial and maritime machines designed to operate in dangerous or inaccessible environments. EyeX’s public robotics portfolio includes: GroundUnit-1, an autonomous electric tracked platform for grading, clearing, mine development and hazardous terrain VHL, a hybrid heavy-lift VTOL system for remote mining operations and cargo delivery Autonomous mining drones and rovers Albatross maritime reconnaissance drones Sandpiper environmental-cleaning robots TugBot autonomous marine systems Human-carrying rescue drones Most of these systems remain protected-IP concepts or active R&D, while VHL is described as previously prototyped. That makes EyeX substantially earlier-stage than Pronto—but its intended scope is also much wider. The potential NRED architecture looks like this: MetalCore finds the target. EyeX understands the terrain. EyeX Robotics reaches it and acts. Field observations and assays make MetalCore smarter. Interestingly, this maps directly onto Atoms’ own three-step definition of physical AI: Understand the physical world Predict its future state Control the physical world For NRED: EyeX provides understanding. MetalCore provides prediction. EyeX Robotics provides physical action. The major distinction is that Atoms is already automating material movement inside producing mines and quarries. NRED and EyeX could potentially build an autonomous system spanning mineral discovery, field investigation, terrain access, mine development and eventually operations. The timeline is also interesting. NRED announced its exclusive EyeX diligence process nine days before Atoms disclosed its $1.7 billion financing with Uber. However, Atoms had already publicly launched its mining strategy and plans for Pronto in March, so the accurate conclusion is that NRED moved before the Atoms financing announcement—not before Atoms entered mining. Atoms’ financing does not prove EyeX’s technology or determine NRED’s valuation. But it is major validation of the broader thesis that specialized robotics, physical AI and autonomous mining could become one of the next large technology markets. The central question: Will the biggest opportunity belong to companies automating haulage inside existing mined
