 Well, hello, everyone. This is Byron King with Investor Intel. Today, we are going to speak, get an update from Pierre Gauthier from Oxico Resources, a rare earth company, rare earths in the sense of mineral sands. Oxico works in Colombia, Brazil, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. We've spoken with Pierre before. Hello, Pierre. You have several new news releases in the last few weeks, but you've got one very important release, just the last day or two, from Colombia. What's going on down in Colombia besides all the coffee? Good. Thanks, Byron. Well, if you're the mining business, having a mining permit to start mining is a pretty important element. And as we all know, no matter where you are and what mining jurisdiction, there's a long process with that. So Monday this week, we obtained the mining permit from the National Mining Association of Colombia from the government. And that's a major step in the area that we're in, because it's an alluvial area along the Orinoco River, and it's very vast. It stretches out over 15 kilometers. And we found just the various amounts of minerals there, including gold, and plant them in the first meter in this iron cap. And there's a substantial amount of rare earths below that can be concentrated by simple sieving and so on. So we're very excited about this permit. All our investors were waiting for that. We're late. We're five months late, which explained the decrease in the stock price, because I think there was a serious doubt whether we even get the permit. So we have it. And we expect the other permit, the environmental permit to be out within a few weeks, and that allows us to start bringing equipment to the site, doing a reserve study, drilling, whatever we need to do. So we're very pleased about that. That's the first thing. Well, that's exciting news. A lot of people out there might not really understand Columbia. I sort of kitted around a little bit and talked about the coffee thing. That's what it's famous for. I mean, geologically, there's the Andes Mountains of South America. I always talk about the dry Andes and the wet Andes, dry being like Peru and Chile. The wet Andes are up there in Columbia. You've got the Andes Mountains draining down into these rivers with all the decomposition and the sediment flowed that these rivers carry, and they're filled with river sand that has been processed over the years for things like tin and various others. But you have these sands that also have monazite, and why don't you expand on that a little bit about what is the resource that you're looking at? We're looking at, we have 1500 hectares of land under payment, if you will, under purchase payment that'll be finished, concluded next little bit here. So you've got very little vegetation, very little trees there, and if you fly over it, you can actually see these reddish sands over very vast areas. I'm talking 10, 12 kilometers of distance. And when you see these, this surface is being reddish in color. There's your iron cap where you have iron and titanium, et cetera. And it's almost a marker for the rares that are under it. Now, when you don't see that color, it doesn't mean that it's not there. It's just a little deeper. It could be three meters deeper so that you don't see the iron cap right on surface, but it's below. We're finding that out in the pitting we're doing. We're doing pits every 40 meters to create a reserve here. So it's easy access, number one. And that's the knock on Columbia. It's nice to have a great project, but you're in the middle of the Amazon, and you can't fly in. You've got to build an airport. It gets very complicated. In this case, we're right along the river. The property gives on the river. We go there by boat from a little city called Porto Correño, and that has a flight directly to Bogota, one-hour flight. So it's a place where you can actually work. And we looked at five or six different locations in Columbia before we chose this one, and we chose it because of infrastructure. So to get to work on this, it's not like a conventional drilling program where you're going to drill hard rock down to 500 meters. I mean, we're doing our reserve now just with a pick and shovel in the first meter and doing that every 50 meters on a specific grid. So all the work so far has been, we have 22 employees that live at the site that do our work like this. So there's a lot to be accomplished like this. Of course, for mining it now, that's another story. We're going to have to, our objective is to mine 1,000 tons a day, create a concentrate of 30 tons a day of these virus minerals. That would be that concentrate of rare earths. And then take that concentrate and take it to an industrial park that's near Bogota and do our chemistry there and extract the rare earths there in elemental form. Okay, so that's the objective. Now, one thing that people concern themselves with is the environmental impact. You're not using any toxic chemicals in this process. Much of this is gravity separation and such, isn't it? Yeah, there's no chemistry on site at all. All right, it's going to be screening and gravity separation to create a gravity concentrate. That's it. So that makes it a lot easy from, our whole work program is well-defined in environmental study and that's what it says there. So you can pick up a lot of various minerals by gravity that are associated with these rare earths, including tantalum, niobium, tin, zirconium, gold and silver for that matter. So that concentrate gets created locally and shipped to Bogota. And it de-risks the whole issue of social license, ESG being protested at the front gate and things like that. When you start doing chemistry and there's villages and population around there, that's a whole other story. So in our case, we're very green that way. So it's perfect. Right, right, right. And so now even on the best of days, though, sometimes, you know, monazite tends to have a little bit of uranium rathorium in it. And is there a radiation issue? There clearly is a radiation issue in Colombia. You know, when we do that concentrate, there is a radiation issue. So that would not be able to be exported out of the country without taking out that radiation. So that's why we have a whole scoping study done on building a plant that would treat that 30-10-a-day concentrate that would be about 1,000 tons a month and take out that radiation and put it aside and have a clean concentrate to export. So all that work has been done in the lab. We've been working on a technology called ultrasound extraction for many, many years. So it's a cracking system. Acid bake and other technologies can do it. It takes 10 or 12 hours. A lot of pressure, a lot of heat, a lot of acid. In our case, we do it in one hour. And then we can simply precipitate out the thorium based on controlling the acidity of the solution. And that's been done already. So then you can neutralize that, either sell it or simply put cement into it and just bury it as totally neutral. You know, so that issue has been solved. And just a general comment, you know, we're involved in Brazil and monazites as well and we're involved in the Congo. So I view these monazite signs as just a tremendous source of rare earths compared to hard rock mining. And that's where you can build up the volume. But I think this radioactivity that you just brought up is a constraint to that development. And if we didn't have to develop this ultrasound technology, it'd be hard to think of commercializing all these projects. We've had another, you know, one of these investor intel discussions before where we talked about the ultrasonic ultrasound issues. It's just remarkable technology to anybody out there who's not familiar with it, go to the website, you know, go to the presentation, take a look at it. It merits its own, you know, discussion, you know, of itself. Just to give a quick, quick, quick review of somebody's watching this for the first time. What is this ultrasound thing? Here's what the problem is. When you're mining these rares, for instance, you go and try and create a concentrate, you know, by taking stuff that's in the ground at 1% and make it a 50% type concentrate. In that concentrate, all these rares, 15, 16, they're all to glue together. So, you know, the objective is to get these things selectively. So how do you, the word is, crack this. So there's all kinds of literature on what other people are doing. You use an acid bake system, which is 10 or 12 hours of heating the acid up to 800 or 900 degrees and putting pressure. And then you liberate these things and they do go into solution. So, you know, it can be done and it is being done and it will be done. In our case, we do it with ultrasound and it takes one hour to do it. And we, you know, what happened that ultrasound, it creates these cavitation bubbles and solution that collide together and it acts as a super grinder of particles so that that grain of sand becomes a thousand other grains and the acid gobbles it up much quicker, you know. So you get 95% recovery of everything in solution, one hour, as opposed to eight, so it's a big competitive edge as far as we're concerned. You know, we've got patents now issued by the US government, the Canadian government on that process. So it's, yeah, the comparable would be, you know, for people out there, again, who aren't familiar with it would be lithotription, like if you have a kidney stone and you go to the hospital and they put you in the bath and they zap, they zap their body and they literally break the little stones into much, much, much smaller pieces. So that, so that's what you're doing. It is exactly what it is, you know. So we do that with the sand particles and mining as opposed to the kidney stone and your septum, that's exactly what it does, you know. But like I said, we work with McGill University and University of Montreal here and it has a, it's called a sonification chemistry department. It's the only one in America, so it's about 30 PhDs in chemistry working on ultrasound at the University of Montreal. So this is like our research lab where we get all kinds of things done and that's how we've been able to progress the technology for quite a bit. And with that, we'll call it quits and wish everybody good investing and, you know, hey man, look at the world, pray for peace and, you know, keep your eye out for good investments. All right, thank you. Thanks, Brian. Great. Thanks.
