Todd Stone, President and CEO of the Association for Mineral Exploration (AME), joins Deirdra for a timely conversation on the state of mineral exploration in British Columbia. He explains why exploration is the foundation of every future mine, where the province’s claims and permitting system is falling behind, and how those delays are affecting investor confidence at a moment when demand for critical minerals is rising. The discussion also touches on the growing debate around the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), First Nations consultation, and the challenge of building a regulatory system that supports both certainty and meaningful Indigenous partnership.

Sponsored by Ericsson – Driving oil and gas forward with seamless connectivity.

In this episode, Casey Thames sits down with Mark Nossokoff and Jaclyn Ludema from Hyperion Research to break down how high performance computing and AI are being applied across the energy industry. The conversation focuses on how operators are using advanced computing to process massive datasets, improve seismic imaging, and support reservoir modeling, ultimately driving better decisions in exploration and development.

They also explore where AI is creating real value today and where it still has limits. Rather than replacing engineers and geoscientists, AI is currently being used to narrow down scenarios, reduce analysis time, and support more efficient workflows. In safety critical environments, the human element remains essential, with companies taking a measured approach to adoption as the technology continues to mature.

The discussion highlights some of the biggest challenges facing the industry, including fragmented data systems, legacy infrastructure, and the pace of change in computing technology. As energy companies look ahead, the ability to integrate data, maintain modern infrastructure, and stay aligned with emerging technologies will play a major role in maintaining competitiveness.

The episode also touches on broader shifts across the industry, including increasing compute demands, power and cooling requirements, and how companies are beginning to expand beyond traditional oil and gas into alternative energy and new digital opportunities.
