Episode # 28 : WHO IS WINNING THE FIGHT FOR BC MINING? Todd Stone on Capital, Policy & Critical Minerals
BC MINING IS CHANGING FAST. IS CANADA READY FOR WHAT COMES NEXT?
Todd Stone and AME BC have been anything but quiet this summer.
From pushing Ottawa to close the financing gap for Canada’s 171 advanced critical mineral projects, to challenging BC over DRIPA, land use planning, ELUA orders and mineral claim delays, AME has been putting some very uncomfortable questions directly on the table.
And the timing matters.
Canada wants critical minerals. BC wants to be a major mining jurisdiction. Governments are putting money behind infrastructure and exploration. But investors still want certainty, capital wants a pathway and explorers need to know they can actually get to work.
In this episode of Markets & Leaders, Lyndsay Malchuk sits down with Todd Stone, President & CEO of AME BC, to talk about what has changed, what is still broken and where BC mining goes from here.
They get into BC mining, critical minerals, copper, mineral exploration, mining investment, DRIPA, permitting, land use, infrastructure, strategic capital, Indigenous partnerships, AI and the future of Canadian mining.

Episode # 27 : THE FED JUST RAISED RATES...AND CANADA CAN'T IGNORE IT
The Fed just raised rates. Now the question isn't what they did...it’s what breaks next. And for Canadian investors, the fallout could reach far beyond the stock market.
The Fed just raised rates. Now the question isn't what they did — it's what breaks next. And for Canadian investors, the fallout could reach far beyond the stock market.
Lyndsay Malchuk sits down with Michael Succurro, CEO of Spark Financial Group, to unpack the macro forces now moving through global markets — inflation, real yields, the Treasury curve, the Canadian dollar, the Fed vs. Bank of Canada, equity valuations, the TSX and the changing cost of capital.
Is the market underestimating how long rates could stay elevated? Are investors still pricing assets for cheap money? And what happens when U.S. monetary policy and Canadian monetary policy move in different directions?

Episode # 26 : THE MINING MARKET IS LYING TO YOU | Christopher Ecclestone on Copper, Critical Minerals & Mining Fads
What if the biggest mistake investors are making in mining isn't picking the wrong commodity... but believing the right story?
Christopher Ecclestone, Principal & Mining Strategist at Hallgarten & Company, joins Lyndsay Malchuk on Markets & Leaders to challenge the narratives driving today's mining and critical minerals markets.
We go far beyond the usual copper conversation, digging into mining market fads, critical minerals, antimony, copper supply, geopolitical risk, mining investment, resource nationalism, processing capacity, junior mining companies and the gap between a great mineral story and a great investment.
Christopher also takes on our rapid fire BUY IT OR BYE BYE? game, where he gets three seconds to make the call.
And yes... we make him choose.
Think you know which commodities deserve your attention? Christopher may change your mind.
