 Hello, this is Jack Lipton speaking and today I'm speaking with Troy Beaujolais, the CEO of Merchison Minerals. And Merchison has made some news today by announcing new results at their property in Quebec for actually EV metals. Let's be realistic. I want Mr. Beaujolais to speak about it but I'm going to say to you that these are among the most important critical metals in our society and we need to produce as much as we can in North America. And I think the HPM deposits being looked at by Merchison are going to be a very important component of that. And now I'd like to ask Mr. Beaujolais what he thinks about what I just said and to tell us about what's going on with Merchison. First of all, Jack, thank you very much for having me. It's great to be here and be speaking with you today. I couldn't agree with you more on I think the commodities we're looking at, nickel, copper, cobalt are on critical minerals lists across North America in Canada and in the United States. And there's a big reason for that. And as the world transitions from a policy perspective, industry, corporately, commercially across to a new energy economy, the need for nickel, copper, cobalt is going to be pivotal in order to make that transition. And furthermore, the need for those commodities to be sourced from stable sovereign jurisdictions, very favorable jurisdictions, the HPM project is located in Quebec. Quebec is one of the best mining jurisdictions globally. They really do a significant amount to facilitate and support early stage exploration right through the development process and into production. And so from a from a jurisdictional standpoint, HPM is right there. It's just on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence River, you know, right along in an area that has significant infrastructure. And that is rail infrastructure and hydroelectric infrastructure. And that leads me into the next point is that, you know, looking at sources of these metals that can be extracted, discovered, extracted, produced and reclaimed in a very sustainable way with a, you know, in line with the expectations of the end users. In North America, we don't talk about cobalt because in the U.S., for example, we're producing just a trivial amount, 400 tons a year. Canada right now already is producing nearly 4,000 tons a year of cobalt. And that is that is very significant for the, as the Chinese say, new electric vehicle industry, or we say the EV industry. So I want to note that Canada is the only country I'm aware of in this hemisphere that actually has existing cobalt processing capacity, where the material can be taken from the ore and processed into material for batteries. So I think that we need to understand how much more cobalt could be produced in Canada. And I'd like to know a little bit more about your results on new HVM property. Like what, what grades are you seeing? And by the way, I need to add for the for the viewer that cobalt is not produced as a primary product, almost anywhere. It is a by product of copper and or nickel mining. And that's the interest. So that's my lead in to your discussion of what you're seeing at HVM in terms of metal content of mineralogy. Yeah. So thanks for that, Jack, because we'll back up a bit here. What we're discussing in the start is really, you know, the macroeconomic around macroeconomics around merchandise and what we're doing at HVM. And the commodities that were of interest. Now you drill down on the project itself. And it's in the Manicwagon region, just east of the Manicwagon impact structure, Lake Manicwagon in Quebec and the North Shore of the St. Lawrence. Now, from a geologic setting perspective, it's in a very favorable geologic setting. You have differentiated mafic intrusives that have intruded into a paradise sequence that are loaded with sulfur. Now, not to get too in depth or in detail on that aspect of it, but just from a from a camp scale perspective, all of the foundational building blocks are there to have a significant endowment of nickel sulfide deposits in the area. And that's what drew that's what drew merches in into the area. And that's what's keeping us in the area. Now you build on that and you start to look at some of the results that we've had today. And it's really building up the foundational systematic process of exploration. And it starts with the airborne EM or the VTEM surveys that we've flown that have identified a significant number of conductors and significant length of conductors. And then you build on that and we got on the ground and we tested those conductors with a beat map and a backpack drill. So some very foundational kind of practical prospecting that worked very well. And then following up on that, we moved into our inaugural drill program this fall. And so we had our maiden drill program at PYC. PYC is one of the targets. It is one of the targets at HPM at the at the project. And we had a drill program this fall where we completed eight drill holes. Of those eight drill holes, all eight were mineralized. The mineralization we're seeing to date ranges from, you know, meter scale, semi massive to massive solvides to net breccia and brecciated textures right through and in a broader area of disseminated solvides. So the PYC target itself is a two kilometer long, so 1.95 kilometer long EM anomaly that has been demonstrated to have sulfide mineralization along the strike of it from the prospecting that we did. And the drill program that we're just coming off of tested about 500 meters of that strike length. So that anomaly remains open at depth on strike in really all directions and we're really just starting to scratch the surface. Well, I guess the investors are understanding that this is significant because I know that your stock has gone up dramatically in the last three months. Yeah, it has. It's performed very nicely and I think off a couple catalysts. You know, early in October, Merchison made the decision to increase the size of the team, increase the team. And I came on at that point in time. Following that, we finalized a $4 million private placement. And importantly, during that private placement, a couple things happened there. One of them is that we brought on a strategic investor in Michael Gentile, who came in at just under 10%. Also, during that private placement, Don Johnson, who is the director of the company and our largest shareholder, he maintained his 30% interest in the company. And I also had an opportunity to participate in that placement and really align myself with Merchison shareholders. And then following that, we went into the use of proceeds from that financing, supported the drill program at PYC that we've just finished. And just yesterday, we were able to announce it as a result of all of the work we've done at HPM to date in building up our understanding. And then the results of the drill program at PYC, we quadrupled our land package. So we went from 139 square kilometers to now having over 580 square kilometers of mineral tenements in the HPM area, which when you look at the regional geology, the gravity, the magnetics, the signature, and understand the geology, we really have a very strategic and dominant land position in the entire plateau that we feel is very underexplored and in turn has a significant amount of potential to host nickel-bearing sulphide mineralization. Thank you. Thank you for all that information. And we're going to be following you, and I hope to talk to you again, because I think I really think you're on to something. Thank you again, Troy. Thank you, Jack. Appreciate it.
