And here's what you need to know today. The biggest mining M&A story of the morning is Swedish metals giant Boliden has struck a deal to acquire Boterandum's controlling stake in Nexa Resources for approximately $1.31 billion at $15.29 per share, and it represents a 14.2% premium to Nexa's 20-day volume-weighted average price. Boterandum will receive 21.4 million newly issued Boliden shares, representing roughly 7% of Boliden. Nexa is one of the world's leading zinc producers, operating 5 polymetallic mines and 3 smelters across Brazil and Peru. Nexa Resources trades on the NYSE as NEXA. Copper Giant Resources has released assay results from 2 holes at the Macoa Copper Molybdenum Porphyry Project in Putumayo, Colombia. Hole 70 returned 771 meters of continuous mineralization at 0.51% copper equivalent and included 102 meters of 0.87% copper equivalent in there from 396 meters. Hole 68 intersected near surface, a near surface zone of 157 meters of 0.69% copper equivalent, plus a deeper interval of 154 meters at 0.54% copper equivalent. That was below the depth reach by historic vertical drilling and carrying better grade at depth as the alteration moves towards the potassic core of the system. Copper Giant says all work streams for a preliminary economic assess— assessment remain on track for Q4 of this year. Copper Giant Resources trades on the Venture Exchange with CGNT and on the OTCQB with LBCMF. Nine Mile Meadows has reported results from Hole 10 at the Wedge Mine at the Bathurst mining camp in New Brunswick. The hole intersected 31.95 meters of massive sulfide VMS zones at 2.52% copper equivalent from a depth of 109 meters. There in there also included 14.15 meters of 3.73% copper equivalent and a high-grade core of just over 4 meters of 5.16%, which with silver, gold, lead, and zinc values increasing with depth, demonstrating the multi-metal character of the deposit. The company says the hole strengthens its view of the deposit's economic viability, and the 3D model continues to be refined toward a future mineral resource estimate. Nine Mile Metals trades on the CSE with the symbol NINE and on the OTCID with VMS— excuse me, VMS XF.
Trevor Hall · Mining Stock Daily · Morning Briefing: Boliden Acquires Controlling Stake in Nexa Resources · 2026-08-27Okay, so 36-foot Sea Ray here, Carl, and this is the deal. Just last week, Sea Ray launched for the first time ever autonomous docking. So only a few select investors in have had this view. I'm going to show you now. This is the first exclusive global look. Here's our boat's position in the marina at Brooklyn Bridge Harbor, and I've put the boat right here. I've dragged it here into the slip. This is the most stressful part for any boat captain, is getting the boat in and out of the slip. Now watch, with the touch of a button, all I'm doing— start docking. And while this takes over, now I can explain to you that SeaRay's parent company Brunswick is making a bet that all of this technology can help them with profits even if boat sales are sluggish. Now I'm going to walk away from this, and as every good captain knows, you never leave the boat unhelmed. So Captain Joe is going to take over for Captain Contessa. The one thing I can explain to you is that if the boat is coming in autonomously docking, Brunswick thinks is that they can get people to buy more, invest more in the technology, in the accessories, the motors and the engines, of course, and then recurring revenue. So for instance, they have 450 boat clubs around the world, Freedom Boat Clubs, that operate like country clubs. You can buy a membership and go in and use the boats at any of their 450 clubs around the world. In this particular case, if you buy a Sea Ray, they think that they can get you to spend more money if you know that the bells and whistles that come on board, much of it assisted autonomously— and I know because I took it out for a spin in New York Harbor— will help you have a far freer day out on the water, a less stressful day. I asked, uh, the CEO Dave Folks of Brunswick about this because let's face it, over the last couple years their shares have been relatively flat. You want sort of calm water out on the marina, out in the harbor, but not necessarily with your stock shares.

Ian Wagner · Mining Stock Daily · Morning Briefing: Gold and Silver Surge as Miners Rally; Pirate Gold Defines District-Scale Newfoundland Target · 2026-08-05One in three frozen french fries sold anywhere in the world comes from the same company. And it all traces back to a small town with a population of about 1600. There's a sign when you drive into Florenceville. It reads florenceville, French Fry capital of the world. You might think it's a joke, something the local chamber of commerce put up to attract tourists. But that means you don't know the real story. Florenceville is the founding place of McCain Foods. They sell in over 160 countries. They employ more than 20,000 people, and they process more than £1 million of potato products every single hour. And they do over 16 billion a year in revenue. And it started with two brothers from a farming family. They had no technical expertise and a tiny budget. Harrison McCain, the central figure in our story, didn't invent frozen fries. He was a salesman from the sticks who understood a few things about the world a little earlier and a little more clearly than the people around him. But he had the appetite to pursue it it in the biggest way possible. This is the story of Harrison McCain. In 1949, a 22 year old Harrison McCain walked into a job interview he assumed was a formality. A pharmaceutical company needed a salesman. He'd studied organic chemistry. This should be an easy fit. The sales manager set him straight. Three graduate pharmacists had also applied. Then he added, the chances of you getting this job are zilch. Harrison didn't budge. He. He didn't leave. He made an offer he hadn't planned to make. He hadn't even considered until the words were already leaving his mouth. No, no, no. You're making a terrible mistake. I'm just exactly the man you want. I'll borrow money from my old man to buy a car and I'll work for no pay. You only have to pay my expenses. No pay for a solid year. At the end of the year, you pay me my wages for the full year or shake hands. Your choice, not mine. The sales manager said no. But two days later he called him back and he said, I. I can't even sleep at night thinking about your offer. I'm giving you the job. Harrison beat out three pharmacists, got a salary from day one and was among the company's best salesmen. Within a year, he turned rejection into a yes. By assuming all the risk, the sales manager had nothing to lose. No one had ever done that before. At 22, he stumbled onto something that would serve him for the rest of his life. The first time someone says no is rarely the ultimate no. It would underpin every deal he ever made. Decades later, he wrote a note to his five children labeled chutzpah. He defined it as a disregard for the possibility of getting a negative reply. His advice was simple. I would rather try and hear no than not try at all. But importantly, he also came at it from the other side, too. Saying no might be the most important skill to learn, he wrote. It seems to me the people in business who have the hardest time to get things done are those who can't bring themselves to say no. They can say maybe, maybe they can say, I'll see. They can say later. But sometimes there is only one answer and it is a simple, straightforward no. He told them it was very difficult the first time, not so difficult the third time. And after the fifth time, you could say it anytime it needed to be said. Where does a 22 year old learn to think and act like that? From watching the McCains trace their roots back to two brothers who left Ireland in the 1820s and settled along the St. John river in New Brunswick. They bought 300 hectares and started farming. The family has worked that land to this day. Life revolved around potatoes. But Harrison's father, Andrew, wasn't just a farmer. He was a trader. When US tariffs shut down the American market right next door, he didn't complain about policy. He got on a boat to the Caribbean. Then he kept going to South Africa. He found new buyers in new countries by himself. In an era when international business meant weeks at sea with no guarantee of a meeting on the other end, he built a small fortune. Harrison was young, but he was watching. His father never talked about strategy. He just showed what it looked like to see one door close and find another one open. That instinct would become the defining pattern of Harrison's career. His mother was a strong willed former schoolteacher, and unlike most families around them, she sent every one of her children to university. It was mostly because she didn't want them going into the potato business. The potato business was a commodity. Prices went up and down at the whim of uncontrollable forces like weather and distant markets. When Harrison's father died in 1953, she took over the business. She didn't have an MBA or any formal credentials. Interestingly, she went on to outperform her late husband at stock investing. Competence in the McCain household was not in short supply. After the pharmaceutical job, Harrison landed at Irving Oil through a university connection. His new boss was Casey Irving, sometimes called the Canadian Rockefeller. Casey built an empire. Spirit bonding, shipyards, oil refineries, newspapers, pulp and paper, forestry and engineering. And all of it was privately owned. Which, Irving argued, let him react faster and plan longer than public companies could. To understand the kind of mind that Harrison was now learning directly from one on one, consider this story. An aspiring young entrepreneur trying to impress Casey once gave him full treatment at a gas station. Not only did he pump the gas, he washed the windows, cleaned the headlights, and even wiped down the bumpers. And when he was finished, the young man asked Casey for advice on becoming a businessman. And Irving's response? You will need to work a lot faster if you ever want to be successful. That was Casey Irving. Every interaction was a lesson, whether he intended it or not. Casey loved vertical integration. His son Arthur once explained why Casey got into the oil business. Because he was selling automobiles and cars, needed oil and gas to run. Why give that business to someone else? And if it made sense to sell oil, it made sense to build a refinery. And if it made sense to build a refinery, it made sense to build ships to transport it. Each step created the logic for the next. Harrison absorbed all of this, but one lesson in particular stood out. He spent 18 months chasing a contract to supply a large power station with Irving Fuel. When he finally landed it, he called Casey. Delighted Irving's response, he simply asked if Harrison had managed to add lubricating grease to the deal. Harrison the grease was about 4% of the total. But 100% of the business is better than 96%. That was the lesson. Harrison later described Casey's management style as management by suggestion. Irving would say something like, if we had such and such account that would fit just exactly. And what that meant was get your ads out there and get the account. There was no directive. It was a suggestion that carried the full weight of an order, but left you room to figure out how. And if you couldn't figure out how to, you didn't last long. At the age of 24, Harrison was the sales manager for nearly all the Maritime Provinces. He pushed Irving to expand into Maine and New England.
