She loves learning about new industries, trends and terminologies, chatting with interesting people and subject matter experts, and crafting compelling stories along the way.
Blue Sky Uranium (TSXV:BSK,OTCQB:BSURF,FWB:MAL2) is making significant strides in advancing its flagship Ivana uranium-vanadium project in Argentina. In a recent interview, President and CEO Nikolaos Cacos detailed the company's newly formed joint venture with Abatare Spain (COAM), a strategic partnership poised to accelerate the project toward production.
Cacos highlighted the establishment of a new joint venture company, Ivana Minerales, formed with COAM to drive the Ivana deposit forward. This collaboration represents a pivotal moment for Blue Sky, as COAM is committed to funding cumulative expenditures of US$35 million to acquire a 49.9 percent indirect equity interest in the deposit. Furthermore, COAM holds the option to increase its stake to 80 percent by completing a feasibility study and fully funding the project's costs.
“As far as our long-term objectives go, it achieves the first long-term objective of creating a pathway to take it right through to production, and allows us now to begin to look at and focus on our other 100 percent owned projects that we have … coming up with a second uranium discovery,” Cacos explained.
The Blue Sky chief executive also touched upon the broader economic landscape in Argentina, noting the positive impact of new government policies aimed at attracting foreign investment and fostering economic growth.
“Argentina is becoming a very favorable business destination,” he said. “And by virtue of the fact that we're already there — we already are known to the government, we're known in the industry — it gives us a leg up in knowing how to operate there.”

Editor's Picks: Gold Faces Bumpy Week on Trade Tensions, Platinum Stages Breakout

The gold price saw peaks and troughs this week.
After rising to almost US$3,350 per ounce on Monday (May 26), the yellow metal took a dive, dropping to just below US$3,260 on Wednesday (May 28). It was back on the rise the next day, hitting US$3,324, but ended up finishing the week lower, closing out at the US$3,289 level.
Trade tensions were in focus throughout the period.
Concerns lessened early in the week, when US President Donald Trump said he would delay raising tariffs on the EU, but uncertainty ratcheted back up on Wednesday, when an American trade court issued a ruling that blocked most of his tariffs put in place by his administration.
“It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency” — Kush Desai, White House spokesperson
The decision prompted a flurry of activity and backlash from Trump and his supporters, with a federal appeals court ultimately reinstating the tariffs on May 29 (Thursday).
The turmoil was beneficial for gold, as was news that the US economy shrank by 0.2 percent annually in Q1. The GDP estimate is the second of three from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and comes in lower than the first calculation of a 0.3 percent contraction.
Bullet briefing — Glencore restructures, Anglo completes spinoff
Glencore restructuring move sparks M&A talk
Commodities giant Glencore (LSE:GLEN,OTC Pink:GLCNF) has quietly moved billions worth of global coal and ferroalloys assets into an Australian subsidiary.
The Australian Financial Review was the first to report the news, and it's already sparked speculation about renewed M&A talks between Glencore and Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO). The two major companies reportedly engaged in discussions last year, but did not move forward.
With this restructuring from Glencore and Rio Tinto's CEO due to step down later this year, market watchers see potential for a deal to be done.
Anglo American spins off Valterra Platinum
Anglo American (LSE:AAL,OTCQX:AAUKF) made headlines this week as the firm finished demerging its platinum-group metals unit, Valterra Platinum (JSE:VAL).
Valterra, formerly Anglo American Platinum, began trading on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on Wednesday, and will have a secondary listing in London as of June 2.
Anglo made the decision to spin off Valterra after heading off a US$49 billion takeover bid from BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) last year. The company embarked on a restructuring plan that will see it hone in on copper and iron ore; like platinum, its coking coal and nickel assets are set to be divested.
Interestingly, Valterra's debut comes alongside a platinum price boost. The metal recently broke out to its highest level in about two years, nearly reaching US$1,100 per ounce.
Edward Sterck of the World Platinum Investment Council believes it's too soon to tell whether the rise is sustainable, but he does see a "perfect storm" brewing for platinum.
Here's how he explained it:
I think platinum's fundamentals are just highly attractive at the moment.
You've got really constrained supply, you've got demand that is actually beginning to show some real signs of growth, driven principally by an inflection in jewelry demand and by ongoing growth in investment demand.
And so given those things are resulting in these really significant deficits — this is the third year of almost a million ounces of deficit out of an 8 million ounce market — those are just rapidly depleting those aboveground stocks ... this has all generally come together as a perfect storm. We are seeing that tightness in the market, and I feel quietly optimistic that we're going to see that long-awaited price response come through.
Watch the full interview for a more in-depth look at supply and demand dynamics for platinum.
