We sat down with Pat Varas CEO of Norden Crown Metals (sponsor). He just completed a financing. We wanted to connect \xa0with him to see where the company is heading. (We are shareholders) Pat is optimistic about the world-class Gumsberg VMS project in the Bergslagen district. Norden Crown is focused on advancement of the multiple mineralized trends there.\xa0The project looks to be rich in zinc and silver. The application of modern mining techniques to this under-explored area will bring major results. It\u2019s a broken hill type deposit, which means the deposit could be quite substantial. Since the 1200's, the area has had a long mining, prior to any uses for zinc. For theses reasons Pat says, \u201cThe prospectivity [is] fantastic.\u201d In Norway Norden is joint venturing on a very promising copper project. Due to the world\u2019s quest for expanded electrification, increased copper demand is virtually assured, a major plus for the company. Zinc is also a metal in tune with the electrification theme. Great progress been made in zinc-air battery development. It could eventually rival lithium, especially for large-scale storage batteries that will hold many mega-watts of electricity.\xa0 As it happens, Scandanavia has a rich history of mining and their rules are quite favorable. The permit procedures in place allow an applicant to obtain permits in as little as 6 weeks. Infrastructure is high quality and there\u2019s a sense of certainty in dealing with these countries, you just need to rigorously follow the rules.\xa0 He expects to embark on an ambitious drill program this summer and is currently sourcing drilling equipment and expects a quick start.\xa0 Pat has positioned Norden to Crown to take advantage of favorable metals market trends and lead the company forward to success.\xa0 Company website: www.nordencrownmetals.com\xa0 Tickers: TSXV:NOCR - OTC:NOCRD - FRA:03E
