In this Rock Stock Channel double feature, Howard Klein and Matt Fernley speak with First Phosphate CEO John Passalacqua and Surge Battery Metals CEO Greg Reimer about the emerging “golden age” for lithium iron phosphate materials, North American LFP supply chains, and the growing role of gold miners in critical minerals.

First Phosphate discusses high-purity igneous phosphate for LFP batteries, Canada’s critical minerals strategy, and recent market momentum. Surge Battery Metals covers its Nevada North lithium project, major resource upgrade, planned Nasdaq listing, Evolution Mining partnership, and the path toward a PFS.
