The MiningNewsWire Podcast

This article has been disseminated on behalf of MAX Power Mining Corp. and may include a paid advertisement.

The most compelling moment for investors to engage with a mining company is often during its transition from explorer to producer, a period when value can inflect sharply as an organization shifts from discovery to cash flow. Explorers that successfully cross this development threshold tend to realize significant re-ratings because they de-risk their story, demonstrate reliable production capability and create a foundation for recurring revenues. For many interested in the mining space, entering at this stage allows participation before the substantial upside typically associated with the first years of production is fully priced in. This moment becomes particularly attractive when a company controls key infrastructure, is advancing toward production in a tier-one jurisdiction and trades at a valuation meaningfully below the replacement cost of its assets. That dynamic is now unfolding around LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (Profile), which owns a fully permitted and refurbished gold mill in Québec’s Abitibi region and is positioned well ahead of neighboring peers still working through early development stages. With a district-scale land position, an advancing flagship deposit and near-term production plans, LaFleur offers meaningful leverage to the explorer-to-producer inflection point, which historically delivers some of the best returns in the mining sector. LaFleur is among a strong group of companies working to become leaders in the mining space, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF), Pirate Gold Corp. (TSXV: YARR) (OTCQB: SICNF) and Abcourt Mines (TSX.V: ABI) (OTC: ABMBF).

AUSTIN, Texas, December 9, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Nikolas Perrault, CFA, Executive Chairman of Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FAIR) (OTC: FCHDF), a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing high-quality mineral properties in mining-friendly jurisdictions across North America.

To begin the interview, Perrault provided a clear overview of Fairchild Gold’s mission and current focus.

“Fairchild is a TSX Venture–listed company which started trading a few years ago on the exchange, but very rapidly it’s pivoted and has been focusing its efforts in Nevada,” he said. “Over the past less than 15 months, the company has made three acquisitions in Nevada, where it’s really building its home… We’ve been very busy the last 15 months building this portfolio in Nevada, which is probably one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world.”

He then explained how the company allocates capital across its newly assembled Nevada portfolio.

“Nevada Titan, which is the original anchor flagship project, is an exploration-stage project where we’re essentially rediscovering an old historic mining district. That’s where we’ve been concentrating most of our budget over the last 12 months… We just completed geophysics—round one, if you will—with a drone magnetic survey. We’re going to be following up with some additional geophysics to further refine the zones that we’ve identified as priority. Then, we will begin to prepare for drill permitting targeting the second quarter.”

Building on that, Perrault discussed the company’s development-stage assets and why they represent near-term catalysts.

“The Golden Arrow project is very different. It’s really an advanced stage project. There’s already a historic measured and indicated resource which was really not relevant or economic, we believe, at $2,000 gold—but at $4,000 gold, I think the game is completely changed and this asset could be very, very profitable… We’re basically looking at this as a development-stage project where the first phase for us will be to conduct a preliminary economic assessment of the project… There’s a lot of exploration upside with the multiple targets already identified at Golden Arrow, but it isn’t going to be our immediate priority. We’ll wait on the results of the PEA to guide our next steps on that one.”

Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and Nikolas Perrault, CFA, Executive Chairman of Fairchild Gold, for a conversation on the company’s Nevada-focused strategy, its staged exploration and development plans, and the catalysts that may shape the road ahead.

MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Global electricity demand is entering a historic inflection point. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) now forecasts that worldwide data center electricity consumption will nearly double by 2030, with AI-driven centers multiplying their energy use more than four-fold over the same period, a pace that strains already overloaded grids across the United States, China, Europe, Southeast Asia and elsewhere. The constraint is no longer bandwidth or chip capability — it is electricity itself. Amid this tightening energy landscape, a compelling new frontier is emerging: natural hydrogen, a geologic form of hydrogen being generated continuously within the Earth’s subsurface. Unlike manufactured hydrogen, geologic hydrogen can be produced without electrolysis and emits only water when used for energy production. It may represent the first scalable, low-carbon baseload power source for AI-era demand. That is why MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) (profile) has become the first publicly traded company in North America to advance a massive land package (1.3 million acres) permitted specifically for natural hydrogen exploration and development, including a commercial-scale natural hydrogen well, positioning itself at the forefront of a new energy class. MAX Power is working to establish itself as a leader among well-known companies that are innovating and leading in the AI space, including Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG).

Disclosure: This does not represent material news, partnerships, or investment advice.

The Global Energy Crunch Meets a New Resource

Artificial intelligence is expanding at a pace that far exceeds the design capacity of existing electricity systems. In addition to IEA’s forecast, Bloomberg projections suggest that U.S. data centers alone could consume as much as 9% of all American electricity by 2035, a dramatic increase that underscores the shifting energy footprint of digital infrastructure. The IEA also reports that per-capita U.S. data-center usage could reach 1,200 kilowatt-hours per year, greatly surpassing consumption levels in most other countries and highlighting the intense energy requirements of emerging technologies.

Hydrogen is often highlighted as a key decarbonization tool, yet nearly 99% of global hydrogen production comes from fossil fuels, resulting in significant emissions and high costs. Green hydrogen, while cleaner, requires large amounts of renewable electricity and is expensive to scale. This widening mismatch between electricity supply and clean-energy demand is prompting rapid scientific and commercial interest in geologic hydrogen.

AUSTIN, Texas, November 20, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features John D. Kuhns, Chairman, CEO, and Founder of Numa Numa Resources Inc., a mining and infrastructure development company focused on unlocking transformational opportunities in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.

To begin the interview, Kuhns offered a clear overview of the company’s mission and the opportunity ahead.

“Numa Numa Resources is focused on infrastructure development in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, which is currently a political unit of Papua New Guinea, although they want to be independent,” he said. “The reason we’re focused there is because Bougainville has very, very significant resources, not just mineral resources, which a lot of people know about, but also fisheries, exotic timber, and so forth. It’s a real opportunity if one can put up with the pretty limited economic development currently going on.”

He then explained how trust, legitimacy, and alignment with Bougainvillean priorities form the core of the company’s strategy.

“Getting the trust and respect of Bougainvilleans is obviously critical to not only our mission, but the mission of anybody who wants to do business in Bougainville. The way to do that is not to be presumptuous enough to think that what you want to do is the most important thing, but rather to appeal to the Bougainvilleans and ask them what they would like to see… They suffered through a civil war about 40 years ago, so they need to rebuild their economy to develop a prosperous way of life and to hopefully enable them to become independent from Papua New Guinea.”

Building on that, Kuhns discussed how this foundation creates a path toward future development and the company’s near-term trajectory.

“Our mission is to not only develop resources with them in Bougainville but certainly take advantage of the current rabid appetite for the metals which can be mined and found in Bougainville—namely copper, gold, and silver—and to use that to become a public company sometime in the next six to eight months.”

Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and John D. Kuhns, Chairman, CEO, and Founder of Numa Numa Resources, for a conversation on Bougainville’s resource potential, Numa Numa’s integrated development strategy, and the company’s roadmap toward public markets.

About Numa Numa Resources

Numa Numa Resources Inc. is a mining and infrastructure development company focused on unlocking transformational opportunities in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, where the company is headquartered and where its management has lived and worked for 10 years.

Bougainville, a resource-rich archipelago in the South Pacific, is perhaps best known as the home of the Panguna Mine. Developed by Rio Tinto, the Panguna Mine was the largest open cut copper and gold mine in the world when it operated from 1972 to 1989 before being shuttered due to a civil war, called “the Crisis,” between Bougainville and its parent government Papua New Guinea. In 2001, the Bougainville Peace Agreement ended the war and awarded Bougainville limited autonomy, including its own constitution, by which ownership of the mine reverted to its customary landowners. A majority of the Panguna Mine’s copper, gold, and silver ore resources remain within its walls, making the fully explored and developed Panguna Mine one of the largest ore bodies in the world, today worth approximately $100 billion. Most geologists who have studied Bougainville believe that other nearby locations such as Mainoki and Karato are highly prospective and may contain ore deposits similar in size and scale to those of the Panguna Mine.

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Artificial intelligence (“AI”) runs on gold and silver, the same metals found in every chip, data center, and iPhone, yet global reserves and refining capacity are tightening faster than demand models can adjust. Silver is the irreplaceable conductor woven through photovoltaic cells and high-speed interconnects, while gold remains the corrosion-proof standard in connectors, bonding wire and high-reliability electronics. In 2024, technology demand for gold climbed to roughly 326 tonnes, up 7% year over year, which equates to about 10.5 million ounces consumed by industrial and electronic uses according to the World Gold Council. As that demand base widens with AI hardware scaling globally, ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile), enters the picture with a plan tailored to serve this deepening pull on gold and silver through a fully funded, fully permitted project designed for near-term cash flow and longer-term growth. The company joins an impressive group of both producer and user companies, including Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG), that are playing key roles in the global chain that transforms mined metals into indispensable materials for modern technology and electrification.

AI Buildout Makes Metals the Bottleneck

As the data economy accelerates, the limiting factor is no longer software innovation but the physical supply of metals that make intelligence tangible. Goldman Sachs Research projects that global power demand from data centers will rise by as much as 165% by 2030 versus 2023, reflecting a rapid build-out of high-density, AI-optimized facilities.

That scale-up cascades into servers, switches and accelerators packed with gold-plated contacts and silver-rich solders, all components whose reliability depends on those metals’ unique properties. This is not a marginal change; it’s an infrastructure wave that elevates materials from background cost lines to front-page risks. In simple terms, when supply gets squeezed, manufacturing demand cannot pause, so tech companies will pay up and scramble to lock in materials.

The pressure is visible beyond forecasts. U.S. utilities have begun reworking growth plans around AI-driven load, while analysts warn that consumption from data centers will more than double globally by 2030. Even in the spot market, tightness has flared: In October 2025, Reuters reported a silver liquidity squeeze in London severe enough to justify air-freighting bars, with lease rates spiking as prices hit records before modestly easing. For manufacturers, these signals translate into procurement urgency, not optionality. When interconnects must be gold plated and solders must be silver bearing, production lines cannot simply delay shipments until inventories normalize.

Electronics and clean energy add persistent pull. World Gold Council data show technology demand for gold at 326 tonnes in 2024, approximately 10.5 million ounces, while the Silver Institute reports industrial silver demand at a record 680.5 million ounces in 2024, the fourth straight year of structural market deficit. In parallel, smartphones alone embed meaningful volumes of gold, with a typical handset containing about 7–34 milligrams. At roughly 1.4 billion units per year, phones are a steady, noncyclical sink, before considering PCs, servers and network gear, along with the added pull from investment demand. The cumulative effect is a tighter materials stack that increasingly defines the pace and cost of the AI, EV and solar rollouts.
