‘Look up': Elon Musk responds to Aussie's foul-mouthed power rant
An Australian miner's expletive-laden rant about the future of coal-burning has caught the attention of Elon Musk, who had a one-line response to the man's declaration our country will be 'f***ed' without it. Travis Ricciardo, the co-host of mining podcast Money of Mine, shared footage of an Epiroc interview with Gerry Noonan, who founded engineering and constructing contracting business Geotech in 1972 and is currently technical manager at Mining Equipment Safety (ME Safety). 'What does the future look like regarding electrification and battery(-operated) electric vehicles in your mining operations?' Mr Noonan was asked. 'Well, we have coal, because we have the biggest coal deposits in the world, but we're not allowed to burn the f***ing stuff, so the world's rooted, really,' he responded – before really letting loose. 'It's alright to be idealistic, but you have to be realistic. And until the lights go out, the idiots that want to be green on everything and not do mining and not do coal, not do anything, they're going to have to go back and use candles and live in tents.' Addressing his interviewer, Mr Noonan continued, 'You might f***ing laugh, but it's true.' 'You understand what I'm talking about – I'm not talking bullsh*t. I'm talking reality. If we don't get realistic, we're f***ed. It's as simple as that,' he said. 'We're not allowed to use uranium, we've got the biggest uranium deposits in the world in Australia and we're not allowed to mine the f***ing stuff. So, it's all f***ed. When half these c***s die, the world will be a better place, and those of us that survive will get going again. 'My next-door neighbour, I was talking to him, he's a lawyer, so he's not an idiot – well, he is a f***wit but that's, but that's another problem – he said, 'Oh that's alright, you just put (electric-vehicle charging) plugs along the highways'. 'And I said, 'But if you haven't got a f***ing source from a power station, plugs on the highways aren't going to do f***, jacksh*t', right? 'The people don't understand, they think the electricity comes out of f***ing space. But if you haven't got a charging system, which is a steam, coal-burning power station, how the f*** can you change your batteries? … A lot of the c***s don't (understand), and that's the problem with the world.' The video was shared by lawyer and failed Liberal candidate Katherine Deves, who wrote: 'What he said. 10 f**ks. 2 c**nts. 1 f**kwit. 1 BS. 1 r00ted. 'People don't understand, they think the electricity comes from out of f**king space.'' Mr Musk – whose company Tesla is inarguably the most prolific electric vehicle manufacturer in the world, and who has long declared that solar power 'is so obviously the future for anyone can do elementary math' – then replied to Ms Deves' post. 'If he looks up, he will see something called 'The Sun',' he remarked. To which Money of Mine's Mr Ricciardo responded: 'Coal is ancient solar power, compressed over millions of years. A natural wonder that affords reliable energy when the sun goes down.' He then described Mr Musk as 'not an idiot, but he is a f***wit'. Clean Energy Regulator (CER) data provided to The Guardian this week revealed there had been an 'off the charts' surge in home battery installations since the Albanese government's $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries program opened for connections on July 1. At least 1000 batteries were being installed each day around the nation, CER said, totalling more than 11,500 in the past 24 days. 'It underlines just how hungry households are for solutions that can help them manage their energy costs,' Energy Efficiency Council chief executive Luke Menzel said. Mr Menzel also pointed to Australia being a world leader in the adoption of rooftop solar panels (of which there is now upwards of four million installed on homes nationwide). 'The early interest in home batteries echoes the early ramp up in solar,' he said. 'This is a sign that with the right support the suburbs will step up again to invest in the efficient, electric technologies that will help them drive down their bills.'

SILVER ONE COMMISSIONS GROUND GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY ON ITS PHOENIX SILVER PROJECT, ARIZONA
VANCOUVER, BC , July 14, 2025 /CNW/ -- Silver One Resources Inc. (TSXV: SVE) (OTCQX: SLVRF) (FSE: BRK1) ("Silver One" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged Zonge International, Inc., to conduct a ground geophysical Induced Polarization (IP) and Magnetotelluric (MT) survey on its 100% owned Phoenix Silver project in Arizona . Both IP and MT are effective electrical geophysical methods useful to detect underground metallic minerals, especially disseminated sulfides, and structures that may be host to mineralization. This is especially important in the southern portion of the property where previous magnetic and ZTEM surveys, in combination with multiple select high-grade copper and silver samples are suggestive of a copper-silver system at depth ( See Figures 1 and 2 and news release of February 20, 2025 ). Owing to safety reasons related to fire hazard in the project's area, the survey will be scheduled as soon as Forest Service fire restrictions are lifted. The planned survey consists of 50-line km of ground IP and MT over robust copper targets. These targets were identified using Geotech's targeting algorithm that combines several datasets including, resistivity derived from the ZTEM survey, magnetic features, geology, structure, mine sites and copper showings (see Company's news release of February 20, 2025 and Figures 1 and 2). These targets have never been drill tested, and their importance is highlighted by their location along the north-eastern portion of the prolific Miami-Inspiration copper belt, which hosts Rio Tinto-BHP's Resolution deposit to the southwest and BHP's Ocelot discovery to the northeast (Figure 1). The IP and MT survey will target vertical depths of 600 metres and 1,500 metres respectively. This survey, in conjunction with previous field investigations, will allow the Company to define and prioritize targets for future drilling. Silver Exploration The company plans to continue with further evaluation of silver targets, especially the 417 area and the long northeast-trending train of silver nuggets located in the northern part of the property. A detailed gravity survey is planned over the 417 area drilled in 2024 to assist in defining the location of massive silver bodies (see Company's news release of February 24, 2025 and Figure 2) and guide future drilling. At the Nuggets North area, planned work includes mapping, sampling, and trenching subject to Forest Service permitting. Candelaria Project Update The Company is also pleased to announce that work at the Candelaria project is on schedule, continuing with metallurgical investigations to optimize silver and gold recoveries, and a Preliminary Economic Assessment study (PEA) scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. Qualified Person The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Robert M. Cann , P. Geo, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and an independent consultant to the Company. About Silver One Silver One is focused on the exploration and development of quality silver projects. The Company holds a 100% interest in its flagship project, the past-producing Candelaria Mine located in Nevada . Potential reprocessing of silver from the historic leach pads at Candelaria provides an opportunity for possible near-term production. Additional opportunities lie in previously identified high-grade silver intercepts down-dip and potentially increasing the substantive silver mineralization along-strike from the two past-producing open pits. The Company owns 636 lode claims and five patented claims on its Cherokee project located in Lincoln County, Nevada , host to multiple silver-copper-gold vein systems, traced to date for over 11 km along-strike. Silver One also owns a 100% interest in the Silver Phoenix Project. The Silver Phoenix Project is a very high-grade native silver prospect that lies within the "Arizona Silver Belt", immediately adjacent to the prolific copper producing area of Globe , Arizona.

Abitibi Metals Outlines 8.7 Kilometres of High-Priority Drill Targets from VTEM™ Survey at B26 Project
The survey successfully delineated 8.7 km of high-priority conductive horizon targets, several of which are located along strike and at depth from the known B26 Deposit, which hosts a current resource of 11.3MT @ 2.13% Cu Eq (Ind- 1.23% Cu, 1.27% Zn, 0.46 g/t Au and 31.9 g/t Ag) & 7.2MT @ 2.21% Cu Eq (Inf – 1.56% Cu, 0.17% Zn, 0.87 g/t Au and 7.4 g/t Ag). "The VTEM™ results confirm what we were hoping for, showing several areas with strong potential for new discoveries," said Jonathon Deluce, CEO of Abitibi Metals. "These results build a solid pipeline of new drill targets to support our ongoing infill and step-out drilling at B26. They also strengthen our ability to define and prioritize regional targets, which make up one of the key pillars of our Phase 3 drill program." The VTEM™ survey has been successfully completed over the B26 Project, with all data processed and validated by Geotech Ltd. The copper stringer zone at B26 displays a well-defined conductive response, while the main zinc-rich ore body remains non-conductive. Despite this, a potential 1.3 km western extension of the main deposit has been identified. This zone is characterized by a low magnetic signature and is supported by early-stage indications of zinc and silver mineralization. Two new high-priority targets have been delineated along the Enjalran–Brouillan contact, exhibiting geophysical and geological characteristics similar to the B26 deposit. These targets represent an additional 3.4 km of prospective strike length for follow-up exploration. These include: Comparable VTEM™ conductive and magnetic responses; A favourable geological context marked by the presence of felsic volcanic (rhyolite) units; Historical drill intercepts containing chalcopyrite (the primary copper-bearing mineral at B26), as well as sphalerite and silver. Two discrete conductive anomalies have been identified along the corridor between the B26 deposit and the past-producing Selbaie Mine. Based on Geotech's interpretation, these anomalies are consistent with a favourable VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide) environment. To refine these targets, advanced geophysical inversion and Maxwell modeling are recommended to better constrain geometry, depth, and drill targeting. These anomalies collectively outline an additional 4 km of mineralized trend for systematic exploration. Next Steps: The Company is planning property wide program of 2,000 to 4,000 metre follow-up drill program, expected to commence where accessible during the Phase 3 Program with the remaining in winter 2026, focusing on high-priority targets defined by the VTEM data and compilation of historical results from geophysical surveys and drilling. Integration of VTEM results with existing geophysical and geological data sets will further refine exploration models across the property. Please see Figure 1 below for the locations of VTEM anomalies and their relationship to the known B26 Deposit.
