SCOOP: The Trump administration is approving 3 more wind projects (2 in Illinois and 1 in Iowa) stalled by the Pentagon in a bid to win Dem support for the bipartisan permitting reform bill. It’s the 2nd tranche of ongoing approvals. Text subscribers got it first!
SCOOP: The Trump admin is easing its blockade on wind projects as it looks to motivate Democrats to support the Senate’s bipartisan permitting reform bill. A White House official told me DOD has advanced 2 projects in Maine & SD with more to come. Text subscribers got it 1st!
Chief Exploration Officer Brian Goldner breaks down yesterday's assay results from the Roland #Nickel-#Copper Target in MI.
Our team is applying the same approach that led to the @EagleMine_MI Mine East discovery in 2015: tracing near-surface mineralization upstream to locate the massive sulphide orebody.

NEW in @PunchbowlNews PM: Natural Resources Chair Bruce Westerman tells me in an interview he is fully behind the Senate's permitting bill, providing a key House boost. “We’re in a really good spot right now, and I look forward to getting this across the finish line."
Talon Metals Discovers Mineralized Magmatic Conduit at Roland Nickel-Copper Target in Michigan
Highlights
✅Talon drilling has discovered a mineralized magmatic conduit at the Roland target following successive drilling, geophysics, and geological interpretation.
✅Drill holes 26RL0009, 26RL0010, and 26RL0011 each intersected nickel-copper mineralization within the newly defined conduit. See Figure 3 and Table 3 for assay results.
✅Drill hole 26RL0010 intersected 25.85 meters grading 0.77% Ni, 0.47% Cu, 0.02% Co, 0.21 g/t Pd, 0.23 g/t Pt, and 0.06 g/t Au (1.16% NiEq or 2.32% CuEq) beginning at 569.38 meters.
✅This interval includes 1.35 meters grading 5.37% Ni, 0.89% Cu, 0.13% Co, 0.64 g/t Pd, 0.71 g/t Pt, and 0.01 g/t Au (6.38% NiEq or 12.77% CuEq) starting at 593.88 meters, including 0.67 meters of MSU grading 7.61% Ni, 0.89% Cu, 0.18% Co, 0.06 g/t Pd, 0.82 g/t Pt, and 0.01 g/t Au (8.66% NiEq or 17.32% CuEq) starting at 593.88 meters. See Figure 1 and Table 1.
✅Talon’s current geological interpretation is that the mineralized conduit may represent a keel-style portion of the Roland intrusive system, with characteristics similar to the Keel at Eagle East, a high-grade nickel-copper orebody at Talon’s Eagle Mine that has helped inform the Company’s exploration model at Roland.
✅With the mineralized conduit now located, Talon intends to explore upstream in the conduit to test for the source of the mineralization.
“Roland is a strong example of how a new geological model can unlock exploration potential in an area that has already seen historical drilling,” said Brian Goldner, Talon’s Chief Exploration Officer.
“The discovery of Eagle East changed how we think about nickel-copper mineralization in this part of Michigan and gave us a different model to apply at Roland. Our first objective was to locate the mineralized conduit. Through successive drilling, geophysics, and geological interpretation, we have now done that and intersected high-grade massive sulphides within the system. Our focus now is to follow the mineralization upstream within the conduit and test for its source, just like the discovery of Eagle East.”

Scott Bessent, the man now running Treasury, said it himself before he ever took the job:
"In the next few years, we are going to have some kind of grand economic reordering. Something equivalent to a new Bretton Woods."

There are a bunch of specific things I like about our permitting bill, beyond the big important stuff — that it will lower electric costs and emissions, and lift wind, solar and battery power (BIG lift for battery), and add LOTS of good jobs.🧵
NEW: Permitting goes past the 11th hour. Senators are hopeful that Trump’s signal that he would ease his blockade on wind projects will help unlock a deal. ENR ranking member Martin Heinrich told me last night talks are “on the five-yard line, but those five yards are hard”
Copper may be where the ambitions of the next industrial revolution collide with geological reality.
That’s why I’m so focused on ONE question:
Where does the next serious wave of copper supply come from and where will the next major discoveries be made?
The world needs it.

A Pentagon investigation report indicates that an overwhelming air assault order, severely outdated intelligence, and an overreliance on AI tools like Palantir’s Maven Smart System contributed to the February 28, 2026, U.S. Tomahawk missile strike that hit an elementary school in Minab, Iran, killing scores of civilians, predominantly children, per Bloomberg
THE HEAT IS ON: @WECNuclear successfully completed criticality testing for its eVinci microreactor, reaching core temperatures upwards of 1,000°C as the company gathered valuable data on its performance.
Their transportable, heat-pipe-cooled reactor design runs on TRISO fuel and is designed to produce 5 megawatts of electricity on sites as small as two acres of land.

BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
I am writing this piece while flying at over 30k feet over the Atlantic, en route to visit Talon Metals critical metals (nickel, copper) project in Minnesota. Talon Metals has been awarded about $138 million in U.S. government support in total, in an effort to support western mines in an effort to become less dependent on China.
Before Washington treated critical minerals as industrial policy, Beijing already treated them as statecraft. China mined about 70 percent of the world’s rare earths and performed roughly 90 percent of the chemical processing that turns ore into magnet metal, alloys, and oxides. It refined the large majority of several other strategic intermediates as well: on the order of 99 percent of gallium, a commanding share of germanium and graphite anode material, and enough midstream capacity in cobalt, nickel, and lithium chemicals to set prices even when the rock itself was dug in Africa, Australia, or Latin America. The United States imported about 80 percent of ..

The Golden Age of American mining is HERE! 🇺🇸
Before yesterday’s historic blast at @MesabiMetallics, @JJovanovicUSA marked the opening of America’s first new iron ore mine in nearly 50 years. Another major win for American workers under @POTUS!
