(Thorium: The Quiet Contender in the Commodities Supercycle)

As the world accelerates toward decarbonization, the potential commodities supercycle isn’t just about oil, LNG, Silver REEs or copper etc. —it’s about the metals and minerals that could redefine energy security.

Thorium, a little-known element named after the Norse god of thunder, is three times more abundant than Uranium and offers a safer, cleaner nuclear fuel cycle. Unlike conventional Uranium reactors, Thorium systems can minimize long-lived radioactive waste and reduce proliferation risks while unlocking higher fuel efficiency.

Also, it doesn’t produce weapons-grade plutonium as a primary byproduct like traditional uranium reactors.

Thorium represents a long-term strategic interest for some nations, aligning with the idea of a "supercycle" for materials critical to future energy.

India and China are already investing in Thorium-based reactor designs, positioning themselves for a future where nuclear energy is not only carbon-free but geopolitically resilient. For investors, policymakers, and energy strategists, Thorium represents a potential pivot point: a strategic metal that could underpin the next wave of energy innovation.

In a potential supercycle defined by scarcity, volatility, and transition, Thorium is worth watching—not just as a scientific curiosity, but as a commodity with profound implications for global trade, technology, and sustainability.

 Historical and economic lens on today’s rising inequality, taxation, and trade tensions—examining whether current conditions echo the unrest that sparked revolutions of the past.   Tariffs, Tax Policy, and America’s Growing Divide As 2025 unfolds, a cascade of economic changes is reshaping the American landscape, raising questions about the nation’s social stability and the potential for upheaval. With new tariffs driving up consumer prices and tax policies favoring the wealthy, the United States is experiencing a widening divide between the “haves” and “have-nots.” Are these the seeds of revolution, or simply the latest chapter in the country’s long history of economic cycles? Tariffs and Consumer Prices: The New Tax on Households President Trump’s renewed tariffs in 2025 have quickly made their presence felt in American wallets. According to the Yale Budget Lab , the average U.S. household is experiencing an effective income loss of around $2,000 in 2025 due to the...

CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE (CCS)

Image
 Climate change remains a defining challenge of our time, and mitigating its effects requires innovative technology and considerable effort. Carbon capture and storage appears as a promising means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. Let's look at the overall function and potential of carbon capture technology, along with introducing two landmark projects that are set as new milestones in this crucial field. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as the name suggests, is a technology that seizes carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial and power generation processes. This method prevents emissions from entering the atmosphere, thus contributing to the fight against climate change. Once captured, the CO2 can either be permanently sequestered underground in geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline formations and/or unmineable coal seams. Also there is the option of converting CO2 into a range of products such as methanol, which could fu...

Junior Mining: Potential Takeover Targets 2025-2026

Image
Canada’s junior mining exploration sector is witnessing a surge in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, fueled by soaring metal prices, major miners’ need to replenish dwindling reserves, and the strategic value of critical minerals like Uranium and Copper. Industry trends and recent deals suggest a wave of takeovers is likely in 2025–2026, with Junior companies—typically valued under C$500 million—emerging as prime targets due to their exploration assets and lower regulatory scrutiny under Canada’s tightened Investment Canada Act (ICA) rules.   Confirmed Takeovers Signal Momentum (Several high-profile deals are underway J   -Sierra Metals (TSX: SMT), a mid-tier Canadian miner with exploration assets, faces a C$1.15 per share all-cash takeover bid by Peru’s Alpayana S.A.C., extended as of May 1, 2025, with conditions nearing waiver.   -On March 21, 2025, Mayfair Acquisition Corp. (TSXV: MFA.P) launched a securities exchange bid for Gold Basin Resources (T...
