THIS morning l left the Mining Town of Phalaborwa in Limpopo Province of South Africa after 6 days of providing an essential & critical technical service… I learnt several things about how mining can be effectively transform the lives of communities living adjacent to the mines. In Phalaborwa there is Foskor Mine & Phalaborwa Mining Company which employ thousands of people directly & indirectly… Here are a few things they do right: 1. For highly technical positions like Engineering & Artisans, & Managerial Posts, the companies are allowed to advertise & hire anyone from anywhere. 2. For general work & other positions that do not require special skills, there is a Community Forum responsible for selecting employees who get hired by the mines. These employees are taken from the townships & villages around. 3. The companies provide Learnerships to people from the surrounding communities selected by the Community Forum…. The beneficiaries of these learnerships get employed at the mining companies or they can use the skills elsewhere. So the companies are helping to skill the locals. 4. The PCF (Phalaborwa Community Forum) is a POWERFUL Group that ensures that the interests of the community are prioritised. The group can mobilise protests that disrupt mining operations IF they feel that the companies are neglecting the community. It is the PCF that approaches the mining companies with requests for funding community infrastructure like schools, clinics, & roads. 5. The Phalaborwa Mining Company (PMC) is now controlled by Chinese Investors and the only reputation they have is PAYING GOOD SALARIES… I never heard anyone speaking badly against the Chinese Investors. Despite the Great Works of the Community Forum, there are other people in Phalaborwa who feel that the Community Forum is led by corrupt people who ask for bribes to guarantee employment at the mines…. That said, the Community Forum remains an effective tool for safeguarding the interests of the community. I think President President of Zimbabwe’s govt can adopt a similar approach. Instead of leaving Cashvists like Farai Maguwu to go around harassing Mining Investors, Community Forums can be formed. The Members can include MPs, Councillors, Chiefs, Headmen, Opposition Politicians, Civil Servants in the area, & Ordinary Citizens….. The Community Forum will act as the bridge between the Community & the Mining Companies. Jamwanda

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.

[DID YOU KNOW] Disobeying the South African Police Service National Instruction 5 of 2017 is a punishable offence in terms of disciplinary regulations. The new trend of posting pictures and video clips in uniform on various social media platforms, directly contravenes National Instruction 5 of 2017. According to Section 19(10) of National Instruction 5 of 2017 on Media Communication in the South African Police Service, the following rules must be adhered to: No member may, on their own accord, represent the SAPS on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., either on their own social media accounts or those belonging to the SAPS. No member may use a profile picture of themselves in uniform or display any police insignia, badges, or logos as their avatar on their private social media accounts. Only with the approval of the Head of Corporate Communication and Liaison may a social media profile be set up for or on behalf of the SAPS on any social network. Accordingly, no station, cluster, unit, or office of the SAPS is permitted to have a social media profile or account without approval. These regulations ensure that all members execute their duties professionally within the confines of the law. Any employee who transgresses in any form or manner will be subjected to the processes of the applicable Disciplinary Regulations. All SAPS members are required to subscribe to the SAPS Code of Conduct and Dress Code and adhere to them when performing their daily duties and interacting with the public. Your efficiency, professionalism, integrity, respect, and empathy are vital to service delivery and the SAPS’s reputation, which in turn influences the community's trust in their police service.

Andy Burnham got a big round of applause on Monday for saying: “We will make sure that all eligible public contracts are subject to proper social value weighting.” Here’s what that means, and why it’s a bad idea. Most public sector contracts award c10% of the ‘marks’ in the bid evaluations for “social value” - the supplier’s commitment to various policies which aren’t to do with the contract. Employee training, creating jobs outside of London, DEI, Net Zero and using SMEs are all common areas they compete on for a good score. The model is rooted in the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012, which established 30 pages of guidance on it. The Procurement Act 2023 and the latest National Procurement Policy Statement continued this commitment. Only MoD is exempt from using social value in tenders, though it regularly does - for example, a tender for nuclear deterrent research last year awarded marks for a commitment to reversing the impacts of Covid-19 on local communities and Net Zero. Social value is a bad policy. And you don’t have to believe any of the many goals government are trying to advance through social value are bad goals to agree with me. Because even if you want all those objectives delivered, making companies for them as a ‘buy in’ to working on government contracts is a bad way to do it. Most people recognise that the way social value is practiced in procurement is performative. It asks suppliers to make commitments, they fill out a form saying what they can do, and then there’s no follow up. Not even to check if they were telling the truth. Many think there should be. But imagine how prohibitively complicated that would be! On Net Zero, for example, most suppliers have to hire a consultancy to fill out their tenders because they don’t track their emissions (particularly small companies). Keeping doing that would be very costly to them. Government struggles to monitor the basics of contract performance - quality of delivery, and actual cost. Until we fix that, there’s no point doing social value monitoring. But setting aside the implementation problems, the policy is full of holes. Social value requirements are complex and costly to compete on. Doing it isn’t hard for the big “primes” that get c10% of public sector commercial spending, but it is hard for smaller companies - particularly start ups and scale ups, who have huge challenges accessing government procurement as it is. This only further stifles innovation, which is the whole point of going out to the market in the first place - markets are great at innovating, much better than governments. But the most innovative companies are further discouraged from bidding because of social value. The policy also fails on its own terms. Take SMEs. A bias towards allocating contract spending to small businesses isn’t a good idea, but it’s been a consistent one across governments and that won’t change. But social value doesn’t improve that. A big supplier can get full marks for saying it has a lot of SMEs in its supply chain. But a SME has to fill out the same bid to compete with that, even if its whole budget is going to an SME (their own company). Bizarre! And it isn’t free. Anything that suppliers do to meet social value objectives which they wouldn’t otherwise do comes at a cost. I’ve had civil servants glibly tell me “that’s just the cost of doing business with government”, or that it’s a kind of tax they should pay for the privilege. This is moronic. Suppliers pass that cost on to government when they work out what a profitable bid would be, so government is just funding their social value activities. This is a really inefficient way of government funding those objectives. Hundreds of different companies doing their own small Net Zero initiatives (for example) is much less efficient than the government bolstering its own (considerable) clean energy infrastructure plans.

Andy Burnham got a big round of applause on Monday for saying: “We will make sure that all eligible public contracts are subject to proper social value weighting.” Here’s what that means, and why it’s a bad idea. Most public sector contracts award c10% of the ‘marks’ in the bid evaluations for “social value” - the supplier’s commitment to various policies which aren’t to do with the contract. Employee training, creating jobs outside of London, DEI, Net Zero and using SMEs are all common areas they compete on for a good score. The model is rooted in the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012, which established 30 pages of guidance on it. The Procurement Act 2023 and the latest National Procurement Policy Statement continued this commitment. Only MoD is exempt from using social value in tenders, though it regularly does - for example, a tender for nuclear deterrent research last year awarded marks for a commitment to reversing the impacts of Covid-19 on local communities and Net Zero. Social value is a bad policy. And you don’t have to believe any of the many goals government are trying to advance through social value are bad goals to agree with me. Because even if you want all those objectives delivered, making companies for them as a ‘buy in’ to working on government contracts is a bad way to do it. Most people recognise that the way social value is practiced in procurement is performative. It asks suppliers to make commitments, they fill out a form saying what they can do, and then there’s no follow up. Not even to check if they were telling the truth. Many think there should be. But imagine how prohibitively complicated that would be! On Net Zero, for example, most suppliers have to hire a consultancy to fill out their tenders because they don’t track their emissions (particularly small companies). Keeping doing that would be very costly to them. Government struggles to monitor the basics of contract performance - quality of delivery, and actual cost. Until we fix that, there’s no point doing social value monitoring. But setting aside the implementation problems, the policy is full of holes. Social value requirements are complex and costly to compete on. Doing it isn’t hard for the big “primes” that get c10% of public sector commercial spending, but it is hard for smaller companies - particularly start ups and scale ups, who have huge challenges accessing government procurement as it is. This only further stifles innovation, which is the whole point of going out to the market in the first place - markets are great at innovating, much better than governments. But the most innovative companies are further discouraged from bidding because of social value. The policy also fails on its own terms. Take SMEs. A bias towards allocating contract spending to small businesses isn’t a good idea, but it’s been a consistent one across governments and that won’t change. But social value doesn’t improve that.

So many pages and accounts from Bangladesh and Pakistan make highly derogatory content about India, Indians, Indian culture, Hindu religion and freely post them. Meta platforms, Youtube, X all liberaly allow these, though targetting a community, spreading hate & misinfo, dehumanizing are all against their policies. The reason? India is seen as spineless. Because of the apathy and ineptitude of some ministries that need to work on these things on a daily basis but who work now and then whenever PMO takes notice to give adhoc ban lists that don't stay banned for even 24hrs, laughably. A 1.4 billion country, a 4.3 trillion economy with the world's largest market for these social media companies allowing racist abuse of Indians, hate and dehumanization, attack on the country which we consider our mother, her culture, and citizens is a shame beyond anything. No other self respecting country in the world allows such massive trolling, racism, dehumanization and attacks on its culture, economy, tourism like this. Even the smallest of countries take up the slightest of abuse against them online with seriousness.

Team1 Turkiye Is Officially Here 🇹🇷 Prior to becoming an official Team1 chapter, Team1 Turkiye had already been actively contributing to the growth of the ecosystem and onboarding talent to Avalanche Over the past years we’ve accomplished: - 35+ events with 3,850 attendees hosted across Turkiye, from Istanbul to emerging tech cities - 22 university collaborations, bringing Avalanche into classrooms across the country - Working with 10 leading Web3 projects, exchanges and financial institutions - Hands-on engagement with developers, builders and students For many developers and students, these events served as the first real introduction to building on Avalanche. And for some, they represented the starting point for projects that are still growing. Collaborations with projects and companies like Chainlink TR, Bitget, OKX TR, Pangolin, ParibuHub, Garanti BBVA Kripto, Misyon Bank, Dexalot, and Kast Card helped to expand the community’s reach and connect builders to the broader ecosystem. This is in addition to our relationships with local communities such as Koza DAO, Blokverse, and Dogu Blockchain. For 2026, our focus is scaling both reach and impact. We aim to grow the Team1 Türkiye community by onboarding new members, activating contributors nationwide, expanding into new cities and increasing hands-on workshops to support builders at every stage. At the same time, we will deepen collaborations with ecosystem partners from Web3 projects to institutions and introduce new event formats to create more engaging community experiences. Team1 Türkiye is committed to building a stronger, more connected and builder-driven Avalanche ecosystem in 2026.

Months later, I was right and they are wrong!!! Just fix what your promised and stop the talking… When I tell you these NDC party and government are a scam, believe cos I know what I am talking about. A few weeks to elections, they together with their friends like Osagyefo Oliver Barker-Vormawor calling for a ban on small scale mining. I disagreed and I still disagree today cos I don’t think it’s a strategy that provides long term solution. The NPP government placed a 20months ban on small scale mining between April 2017 - December 2018, it worked temporarily until it was lifted and we went back to ground zero. Ban isn’t a sustainable strategy, it has been tried before and a new approach is needed. The NDC and their friends insisted the ban was the way to go and they went ahead to actually make a 120 day social contract with Ghanaians to ban small scale mining. Today, they are in government and the NDC are running away from the same thing they fought me on but insisted was the way to go. The people are simply calling on you to do as promised. Your call now! And Guess what, their political allies who were on streets for weeks in the name of freedom fighters and insisted on a ban are today demonstrating and no longer calling for the ban. Today, they are no more calling for a ban but baby sitting their Friends in Government and telling them to end Galamsey before their Presidential primaries. It’s 2025, and I have won the debate on the ban against small scale mining. If the NDC think it’s the way to go as they disagreed with me in the past, then they shld go ahead and implement the ban. The NDC have a founding history with enabling Galamsey and some of us knew it long ago, said it and it’s playing out in plain sight. Dear government, you asked for evidence and we have just served the evidence. Deal with Galamsey! #GalamseyEnablers

DeepSeek-R1 shattered the assumption that performant AI models must be built closed source with loss-leading computational costs. This is the reality that Web3 x Crypto firms have been waiting for, leading me to believe that the most performant AI models in the future will be built on-chain. Resource Requirements DeepSeek R1 (671 billion parameters), which took over a billion dollars, 2,000 Nvidia H800 GPUs, and over 55 days, beat benchmarks held by OpenAI’s o1 mode (near 2 trillion parameters)l, which required hundreds of billions of dollars to develop along with over 16,000 advanced GPUs. The idea that AI models must be closed-source and have loss-leading computational costs to succeed is crumbling. The Existing Decentralized AI Narrative AI x Crypto projects believed that crowdsourced, public, decentralized AI would eventually create better models than their centralized counterparts. This had thus far not been true, as the highest-performing models had come from closed-source companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Crypto x AI companies have adapted to this by specializing in infrastructure rather than model-building. For example, GPU marketplaces like , The Render Network, io.net, and Exabits have developed sustainable revenues. Companies that allow users to share their network bandwidth like touch grass and Gradient have found their niche in supplying services, like distributed web scraping, to web2 clients. Storage networks like Arweave Ecosystem, Filecoin, and Ocean Protocol have also done well by being the platform on which these projects are built. Supply networks have flourished because of their ability to tailor their cheaper and more scalable services to off-chain customers. Renewed Focus Now that GPU and financial resources are no longer limitations to creating quality AI models, web3 AI companies can focus on replicating DeepSeek’s effectiveness while offering new benefits like modality, user ownership, censorship resistance, privacy, and more. Pantera Capital has funded companies in this space like and Sentient that believe they can match or exceed the performance of traditional AI companies while offering additional services or benefits. , for example, is building a platform where anyone can monetize AI models, data sets, and applications in a collaborative space. Users can permissionlessly train models manually, provide training data, and create tailored AI models with no-code tools. They are only able to cater to all these stakeholders (AI developers, users, resource providers) because everything is tied to their native Sahara blockchain. We invested in them precisely for this reason. The Future of AI will be built with Web3 Infrastructure I believe that supply-side projects will continue to grow, while consumer-facing projects can begin competing with web2 competitors by taking advantage of their ability to build networks that invite community involvement. and Sentient, for example, have begun setting up systems for users to train models based on the users’ expertise. These platforms will allow users to pick and choose the data and integrations to whatever they are applying the model towards. Sahara already has over 780,000 users on their waitlist while Sentient has over 1 million interactions. In the near future, I believe that the most performant AI models will be built on-chain.

Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, And Barack Obama Back Brazil-Style Censorship Next Democratic president and vice president may implement sweeping plan for "fighting misinformation" and "hate speech" Brazil’s banning and blocking of the social media platform X is far more extreme than anything being proposed in the United States, social media regulation experts are telling the New York Times, Washington Post, and other publications. One implication is that we need not be concerned that Brazil-style censorship will ever happen in the US. In fact, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz both repeatedly endorsed the three main censorship tactics used by the Brazilian government: censorship of election “misinformation,” de-platforming political opponents, and cross-platform bans, which ban a person not just from one social media platform but from many or even all of them. Harris repeatedly called for the US government to deplatform then-President Donald Trump. In an October 2019 debate, Harris said, “His Twitter account should be shut down.” After the debate she said, “You can't say that you have one rule for Facebook and you have a different rule for Twitter. The same rule has to apply. There has to be a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites…They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation. And that has to stop.” When Walz in 2022 called for censorship of election misinformation, he claimed, falsely, that the First Amendment does not protect hate speech and misinformation. “There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech,” said Walz on MSNBC, “and especially around our democracy.” In fact, the US Supreme Court has consistently ruled that hate speech, misinformation, disinformation, or deliberate lying are allowed in most circumstances. First Amendment scholar Jeff Koseff last year published a book, Liar In A Crowded Theater, documenting this history. It’s true that Harris and Walz have not recently repeated their calls for government censorship and that what they called for was not as extreme as what Brazil is doing. They made their statements two to five years ago. And neither Harris nor Walz called for completely banning and blocking social media platforms as the Brazilian government did. But none of that takes away from the severity of their calls for industry-wide, cross-platform deplatforming through government regulation of social media platforms. Before the Brazilian Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes banned and blocked X in Brazil, he sought cross-platform deplatforming of opposition politicians and independent journalists. Indeed, it was precisely his demands for such cross-platform bans that X owner Elon Musk rejected, which led to Moraes’ decision to block the whole platform. For years, Democrats have sought to regulate social media platforms both directly through the executive branch and through Congress. In 2021 and 2022, Democrats in the House and Senate introduced the “Justice Against Malicious Algorithms Act,” “Algorithmic Justice Act,” and the “Social Media NUDGE Act” to require social media companies to censor content that could cause “emotional injury,” ban algorithms that result in “discrimination or similar harms,” and impose “limits on account creation and content sharing” of disfavored individuals and their views. While some of these bills have good goals, including protecting privacy, preventing harassment, and increasing transparency, they all give the government far too much power to censor disfavored speech. In the spring of 2022, the Biden Administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a “Disinformation Governance Board.” One week prior, former President Barack Obama advocated for sweeping US government censorship of social media platforms in a major speech at Stanford University, which appeared timed to support the Disinformation Governance Board and advocate for Congress to regulate social media content for disfavored content. Obama’s speech gave a clear picture of the censorship a Harris-Walz administration may impose. He claimed that “social media platforms tend not to wanna do anything,” and “a regulatory structure, a smart one, needs to be in place” for “slowing the spread of harmful content.” Obama stressed that government “regulation has to be part of the answer.” In his speech, Obama praised the aggressive social censorship that the European Union is currently pursuing through its Digital Services Act (DSA). For decades, the Democrats were the party of free speech in the United States. What changed? How did Harris, Walz, Obama, and dozens of Democratic Senators and members of Congress come to support Brazil-style censorship?

I’ve been talking to heaps of parents about the U16 Social Media Ban that’s due to commence in about 5 weeks. It seems most parents haven’t told their kids yet about the upcoming ban and a couple of parents weren’t even aware it was happening. As of Dec 10th anyone under the age of 16 is going to lose access to their Facebook, Insta, YouTube and Snapchat accounts. YouTube seems to be the one that is used the most and many parents are simply planning to log their children into their own accounts so that their kids can continue using the platform. The user habits of both parents and kids on the same account is no doubt going to confuse the age assurance predictions that most of these tech companies have implemented for the u16 ban. This will result in parents having to provide identification to prove their age and continued use of their accounts. The government wanting to play parent to both adults and children in Australia means that kids are going to potentially be exposed to more harmful content online and it will also create privacy issues as a result of adults having to supply their ID and other personal information to these data harvesting social platforms. The ban is also going to be rolled out just as most kids are starting the long Summer break which means many children will loose contact and online social interactions with many of their friends and family over the Christmas period. The only positive thing that will results from this is that there will be approx 2.5 million kids who grow up hating the government and its control overreach.
