 Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Troy from Merchison Minerals. How are you today? Yeah, I'm doing very well Tracy. Good to be with you. And speaking of good to be with all of us Can you tell me where you're filming from? Yeah, no today I have the pleasure of sitting in one of our core shacks at our camp at our HPM project in Quebec You know that our HPM project is a Battery metals project. So it's a nickel copper cool vault project That we've that we've got going we've mobilized our drills and we've got drills turning so I'm here on site Yeah, and speaking of that I recommend that absolutely anybody falling critical minerals because we have what we've got copper We've got nickel and we have cobalt, correct Yeah, that's right. It's it's all three. So it's a magmatic sulphide system and what we're after, you know What we're doing this summer is, you know a multi-pronged exploration approach or where we started the program off With some regional work and that was geophysical work We've updated our geophysics across the entire property with a BTEM survey We've had prospecting crews in the field for about a month that have been banging on rocks confirming EM anomalies and Working up a pipeline of future drill projects And then the point that we'll talk about today is the drill program that we have going on a part of her So Bartifer is a is a zone of mineralization that we outlined during Q1 and Q2 of this year It has a strike length of about 315 meters depth extent of about 295 meters and a width of about 150 meters with individual lenses of mineralization up to about 25 meters and The intention of the drilling right now is to is to expand and push forward at Bartifer And test the extents of this mineralizing system So let's talk about these drilling results. This is stage three further to what you've just commented about Give us more of an update if you wouldn't mind. Yeah, so so we've got the drills moved in and You know as you can see I'm in a Corsac Got some core on the table behind me. That's from the first hole at Bartifer We're in the you know currently processing that core And look forward to having results out in the near term to be able to communicate You know what we're up to we're excited We're we're excited to have the drills turned and we're excited to expand the zone of mineralization And we're excited to get that you know news out to out to our investor base All right, so I was just reading a story from Dean Bristow and Anybody that has heard your story or taken the time to understand it better or reviewed your management team Have come back to me and said this is an outstanding story. There's something going on Can you talk to that please? What do they think like they love where you're at? Okay, they love the management. They love the way you budget They love your leadership and your track record. Can you tell me what else they're picking up on because they get very excited? Yeah, I think you know if you we break it down into people process and projects right and you mentioned some people and some process And I think the third component there is a project and that's the hpm project. So it's an area That has all of the the fundamental requirements from a technical perspective from a geology perspective to have district or camp scale potential You know and and we're at the very early stages And so we've got we've got a district scale project We feel and we also have very tangible real results that we're expanding on And we'll be able to expand on in the very near term Looking forward to one of the objectives of this drill program Is getting into a position to have a maiden resource at part of fur by q4 of this year or q1 of next year Okay, so the drill results obviously are as soon as possible Correct so that you can achieve those goals now, of course We were just talking before we started this interview about all the latest news The inflation reduction act in the united states. We're talking about the Battery material supply chain investment here in Ontario and how companies or and and or investors are all looking your way How will merchants and minerals potentially benefit from all of this? Hey, exactly from a macro perspective. I think the fundamentals are very strong in the battery metal space, you know, and continuing to strengthen One of the things that we pay attention to is not only, uh, you know, policy level Decisions that are made that have the impact ability to positively impact our space But you look, you know, locally within canada and and some of the provinces here ontario pullback looking at processes to Vertically integrate the battery supply chain that starts at the exploration stage and production of the raw materials And feeds through into that supply chain and vertically integrated supply chain and production profile now That's that that's where we come in. We have a you know, a project that is a nickel Copper cobalt project. It's a it's a sulfide system You know, nickel sulfides Are what's what's required for class one nickel class one nickel? feeds into cathodes and you know, it is You know in our view and I think a lot of people share this view That class one nickel market is in a structural deficit And from a supply side and we feel that you know from all from for all of those reasons That our hpm project is very well positioned to help become part of part of that process and part of the push forward to transition and help transition into you know, that new energy economy so to speak And of course we could not agree with you more. We cover class one nickel shortage issues Constantly and I'm going to ask you a question. I don't normally ask about shareholders You seem to have some very prominent shareholders as well. Would you like to comment on that? Yeah, we feel we have a we have an outstanding shareholder base and you know, I'll highlight a couple You know starting with mr. Don Johnson, mr. Mr. Johnson sits on our board. He's a director He holds about 30 of the company and has for a long time And we're in a fortunate position to have him continue to participate on a pro-rata basis on all of our finances and and then you know, you go down the list to A gentleman that we welcomed into As an investor strategic investor In q4 of last year and who then again participated in our financing This year, which is mr. Gentile Michael Gentile He holds just under 10 of the company And is very supportive of what we do at murchison and very supportive of the hpm project Well for everybody out there who's ever been an investment banker, it's one thing to attract an investor It's not a thing to maintain their interest. So on that Thank you so much for the update troi on murchison minerals and for those of you out there Seeking more information. Please go to their website. Thank you troi. Thank you. Tracy. Appreciate it
