Back in New York this week for the 2026 SME CTMF Conference.

Conferences like this are an important reminder that successful mineral projects are built on more than geology alone. Permitting strategy, regulatory clarity, stakeholder alignment, and disciplined ex*****on all play a major role in how capital gets allocated across the industry.

We’re looking forward to seeing sweet, Gabriel Sweet, VP of Client Services at Big Rock Exploration, join Wednesday’s panel discussion:

“Regulation to Return: Aligning Permitting Strategy with Capital Allocation Decisions”

Gabe brings more than 15 years of experience navigating permitting and compliance across exploration projects throughout the United States, with a practical understanding of how regulatory strategy directly impacts timelines, risk, and project viability.

If you’re attending SME CTMF this week, we’d be glad to connect.

Things geologists say that sound unhinged to everyone else:

"That's a beautiful fault."
"I need to lick this to be sure."
“We're basically just detectives, but the crime happened 2.6 billion years ago."
"No, I can't come to the wedding, I'm in a core shack."

We wouldn't change a thing. 🪨
