Gold miner Metals Exploration closes in on £90m deal to buy rival Condor By EMILY HAWKINS Updated: 22:00 GMT, 2 December 2024 e-mail View comments A gold miner backed by Nick Candy is closing in on a deal to buy a rival for up to £90million. AIM-listed Metals Exploration has made an offer worth £67.5million up front, and a potential £22.6million more in future, to buy Condor Gold. The announcement came after the Mail yesterday revealed Metals – which is 38 per cent owned by property magnate Candy – was prepared to go hostile in the bid. But Jim Mellon, Condor’s non-executive chairman and one of Britain’s richest men, has given an irrevocable commitment to back the deal. This means he would vote against any rival bid. The deal will bring together two of Britain’s most colourful businessmen. Mellon, 67, who has been described as Britain’s Warren Buffett, owns 26 per cent of Condor, which is listed on AIM as well as the Toronto stock exchange. Glittering: Property magnate Nick Candy (pictured with wife Holly Valance) has a 38% stake in AIM-listed Metals Exploration Candy, 51, is married to pop star and actor Holly Valance and made his fortune through luxury London developments. Shares in Condor soared 19.79 per cent, or 4.75p, to 28.75p yesterday, but are still down by almost two thirds over the past decade. Metals shares, meanwhile, tumbled 8.8 per cent, or 0.5p, to 5.2p. ‘Metals obviously think they can get a bargain,’ said Dan Coatsworth, investment analyst at broker AJ Bell.

Among the most vocal critics of the Trump cabinet picks are Nobel laureates in climate science, who have warned of the potential consequences of appointing climate change deniers to key positions. They argue that such individuals are ill-equipped to make informed decisions on issues that have far-reaching implications for the planet and future generations.Furthermore, by offering one-click access to professional computer services, Gaode Maps and Lenovo Baiying are catering to the increasing demand for remote and on-demand technical support. In today's fast-paced digital world, where reliance on technology is ubiquitous, the ability to quickly resolve computer issues is crucial for individuals and businesses alike.The closer a Prince Rupert woman looked at the deer in her yard, the stranger things became for her. “It was the first time I’ve seen anything like that; it was pretty bizarre,” said Joan Dudoward. Dudoward is a senior residing on 11th Avenue East in Prince Rupert. A flash of movement caught her eye as she scrubbed her breakfast plates on a typical Wednesday morning. Peeking out the window above her sink, she gasped— a majestic buck with massive antlers stood gracefully in her yard. “As soon as I noticed the huge buck, I ran and grabbed my camera to photograph it. I’ve been taking photos since I was a teenager...I photograph everything,” she said. She says he cozied up to lie on the grass and stayed for about half an hour. “He was wiggling his ears so I zoomed in and noticed a tag clipped on him,” she said. “I thought, why is this dear clipped? I got very concerned.” Dudoward, driven by her curiosity, noted that one side of the clip was labelled “BC WILDLIFE 06-529,” while the other read “CALL RAP: 877-952-7227.” It was suspicious because the number displayed is very similar but different from the official number of B.C.’s Conservation Officer Service, which is 1-877-952-7277. Also, the legitimate acronym for their hotline, Report All Poachers and Polluters, is “RAPP,” not “RAP,” as indicated on the tag. She called the number on the neon green tag to inquire about the buck, but reached a woman who spoke to her very hurriedly, she said. The woman, who identified herself as Jessica, wanted to send Dudoward a “free medical alert device” that she could wear around her neck. “We’re very excited to tell you about a special promotion for select callers,” Dudoward recalls the woman saying. She was then asked questions such as her age to check eligibility. Jessica then explained that as a senior, the device would help her in emergencies, such as falls, by alerting her immediate contacts. To proceed with delivery, she said she needed some personal information from Dudoward, such as her address. Then, Dudoward was abruptly transferred to another agent who continued the call. But when she tried to ask her about the buck and why the agency had clipped its number on his ear, they wouldn’t respond but instead continued to promote their products “That’s just cruelty to animals. They are targeting seniors for sure, and hurting the deer in the process,” said Dudoward. She wondered how they must have handled the wild animal to dart him. She questioned, “Did they sedate him? What exactly happened there?” She was absolutely shocked. Dudoward couldn’t comprehend why B.C. Wildlife, a legitimate organization, would have put this company’s number on the buck's ear. The incident reminded her of this continued pattern of companies attempting to target elderly and vulnerable individuals. “I also have my mother’s old number, and it gets scam calls all the time,” she said. “How can they do that? Especially to seniors. They are trying to decide if they should pay the rent or get medication,” said Dudoward in frustration. She proceeded to contact the legitimate conservation officer’s number, who, like the local RCMP, didn’t pay much heed to her situation, she said. The next day, Dudoward called the agency’s number on the tag again, and the conversation took a completely different turn. Now, the agent asked if she was 18 and was promoting products aimed at youth. They informed her that she needed to pay $3 through a call paywall to proceed to the next step, during which she would be directed to the free products for which she was eligible. “The message keeps changing; this is so strange,” said Dudoward. The Northern View investigated the call and found that it was an intricately designed AI automated voice call. The system guides the caller through different phases by detecting both their spoken responses and the number keys they press. Contrary to Dudoward’s initial belief, it wasn’t a live human speaking to her, but a pre-recorded one. In fact, similar cases of fraud involving medical alert devices have happened in the U.S. before, prompting the New York State Department of State and the Minnesota Attorney General to issue cautionary alerts for consumers regarding these “robocalls.” The authorities advised seniors to immediately hang up, not press any keys when prompted, and avoid sharing personal information. “Fraud is the number one crime against older Canadians. Though people of all ages can be victims of fraud, older people get targeted more than others,” states the Canadian Government on its website. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) says that there have been 40,623 reports of fraud this year up to Oct. 31, resulting in a loss of $503 million. Vishing is a social engineering technique that uses voice communication technology. It involves fraudulent phone calls to trick the victim into revealing personal data. The CAFC advises caution during phone calls. They urge people not to hesitate to say no if something feels off and not to feel pressured by urgency or time limits. They also encourage taking enough time to research before sharing personal information. The Northern View contacted the B.C. Wildlife Federation for a comment regarding the tag on the buck. “The Conservation Officer Service darted this deer Nov. 5 to remove wires wrapped around its antlers. The tag is legitimate, but unfortunately has the wrong number on it for RAPP. The new versions of the tag have the correct number and COS will stop using these older tags,” said Jesse Zeman, executive director at B.C. Wildlife Federation. Although the exact cause of this mistake is unclear, anyone who suspects fraud should contact CAFC at 1-888-495-8501 or their local police.

After all, the Mission gallery and performance space has always supported artists who break down conventions in music and visual arts. But the demolition last September by Mission District sound artist Victoria Shen (aka Evicshen ) was more than a provocation. She was lending a hand to a remodel — an ongoing expansion that figures to transform the The Lab, an essential arts space, on the cusp of its fifth decade. As Mission Local reported last year , The Lab secured a new 12-year lease at its location in the Redstone Building, expanding into currently unused space. (The venue declined to rent that space when it relocated from its original location, at Bush and Divisadero, back in 1995.) When the wall Shen assaulted finally comes down, The Lab will encompass the entirety of the building’s main auditorium, says Andrew Smith, who succeeded Dena Beard as The Lab’s executive director last year. “We’re turning that back room, which was used as storage in recent years, into exhibition space, while inviting artists to play with that wall at the back in preparation for a major floor-plan remodel,” adds Smith. In doing so, they’ll restore the original footprint of the historic building, which was San Francisco’s Labor Temple, and dates to 1914. Further work on the wall will figure into The Lab’s 40th birthday celebration Saturday, Dec. 7, a party featuring food by veteran chef Leif Hedendal, an open bar, and a set by composer, vocalist and electronics artist Pamela Z . It’s something of a farewell performance before she heads off to Germany for much of 2025, as the recipient of a prestigious Berlin Prize Fellowship.

Now, more than ever, we're hoping you can support nonprofit, independent journalism in your community. We have $70,000 in matching gifts — double your donation today! Z plans to present a set of her solo works for voice and electronics. “I want to do something that plays with the site itself, and the wall that’s currently being demolished,” says Z, adding that she’ll including pieces that span the duration of her relationship with The Lab. Z has been associated with the space since the late 1980s, when she presented her first full evening performance there. As she’s honed her lapidary practice — sculpting sound in real time by looping her voice and triggering samples via an evolving array of bespoke gear — Z has returned to the The Lab again and again. For several years, she presented an avant revue “where I’d fill the evening with work by people from all different disciplines, segueing one to another,” says Z, who’s also served on The Lab’s board. There was her one-act opera, “Wonder Cabinet,” a collaboration with cellist Matthew Brubeck inspired by the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles “where we transformed the theater with scrims,” she recalls. But some of her most significant work at The Lab was far less publicized. For about a decade, starting in the early ‘90s, a series of grants from the California Arts Council funded a Lab residency for Z. When the venue moved to the Redstone Building, the program became a vital part of the Mission’s creative ecosystem. At first her sound and performance workshops were designed for at-risk youth, “and then low-income women, and then low-income residents of the Mission,” Z says. “A lot of interesting artists took those workshops. Choreographers left feeling they could make sound scores for their own performances, and they’d build these new works.” With about 10 people in each eight-week course, Z introduced Mission denizens to the ins and outs of sound production. Together, they worked in The Lab’s studio, set up by sound artist Ed Osborn, “a little room in the back with a computer station with Pro Tools and a midi keyboard,” she said. “I’d have the group meet once a week in the gallery, and each session I’d cover one thing: found text, timbre, Foley, and also talking about performance itself as an art form. Every week I’d give an assignment to create something, and the second half of the session they’d all present what they’d done.” More than a classroom, The Lab has also served as an incubator and host for events like the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival . Z was involved in creating that showcase, and in recent years it’s taken place at The Lab. “Especially in the last few years, we’ve been having other organizations come in and use the space,” Smith says. “That tends to fly under the radar. The American Indian Cultural District is in the space five or six times a year. We just did a big fashion show production with a trans Latina group .” In many ways, The Lab is a survivor from the city’s freewheeling past, when artists could afford rent with a part-time job and numerous storefront spaces provided environments in which creative endeavors could take shape. With the space’s future assured through at least 2036, Smith sees The Lab as vital foothold for experimental artists in the neighborhood. “A huge part of my decision to expand The Lab is to really lock down the space for public use,” he says. “It has been a really important resource for other Mission residents.” ’40 Years of the Lab (with Pamela Z)’ takes place at 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, at The Lab, 2948 16th St. Tickets ($17 and up) and more info here .

On Tuesday night, Doncic, 25, sustained a right wrist sprain in the Mavericks’ 132-91 win over the New Orleans Pelicans at the American Airlines Center. The 25-year-old will be re-evaluated in one week, meaning he’ll miss at least a few games. Kidd’s expectations shouldn’t be a surprise, as he recently name-dropped two Mavericks players to reporters after the Mavericks’ practice on Thursday. Both of these players are rather intriguing due to their scoring potential. Both players could get plenty of open shots, as opponent’s defenses will focus on Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson amid Luka Doncic’s absence. Read on for the two players. Expectations Kidd is a “man of many words,” but his expectations from two Mavericks players — Jaden Hardy and Quentin Grimes, both shooting guards — are reasonable. Hardy, 22, agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract extension on October 21, 2024, and Grimes, 24, is in the final year of a four-year, $11,128,042 contract but declined to accept the Dallas’ three-year contract extension offer. As a result, Grimes will enter restricted free agency in 2025. As Irving and Thompson prepare to lead the Mavericks, Hardy and Grimes should follow Kidd’s lead and help “pick up the slack” amid Doncic’s injury absence. Doncic is an elite scorer and playmaker, but Kidd, 51, seems hopeful that Hardy and Grimes could provide depth for a short-handed Mavericks team. Doncic’s recent comments to the reporters seemingly shut down the injury-related concerns, but we’ll wait for the Mavericks’ updates from the healthcare professionals. Jason Kidd Prioritizes Kidd and the Mavericks received devastating news when Dallas’ medical staff confirmed Doncic’s right wrist sprain on Thursday. Doncic can be described as “injury-prone,” and some, if not most, of his injuries are soft tissue injuries. However, his latest injury disappointed Kidd and the Mavericks. The Mavericks entered the 2024-25 NBA season with high expectations, and they’ve started the season in a subpar manner. There’s optimism for Doncic’s injury recovery . He only missed one game — the Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder game on Sunday night — this season, at the time of writing. The Mavericks’ luck can change with the upcoming three-game road trip starting with Friday night’s game against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena in downtown Denver. However, Kidd can update his game plan for a higher chance of success Friday night and beyond. Kidd might want to prioritize starting center Daniel Gafford, as Gafford, 26, has been delivering strong performances off the bench in recent games. However, the potential prioritization of Gafford shouldn’t discredit the other starting center, Dereck Lively II, as Lively II, 20, had a nice bounce-back game against the Orlando Magic on November 3, 2024. Dallas Makes Do It’s safe to say that Jason Kidd can’t change the past. All he can do is make do with the short-handed Dallas Mavericks ahead of the team’s upcoming three-game road trip to Denver, Miami, Florida, and Atlanta. His expectations for Hardy and Grimes might not be met, as it’s up to Hardy and Grimes and then each game’s circumstances at the end of the day, but Kidd can dream, right? In the meantime, Dallas should focus on getting past the Denver Nuggets in Denver on Friday night. The Mavericks and Nuggets are 1-1 in the NBA Cup’s Group Stage, and Friday night’s game could determine one team’s chances of advancing to the Knockout Stage. The Mavericks will be without Luka Doncic, but they’ve built some momentum this past week with a three-game winning streak.

Tarnopolsky's appointment was announced Monday. The 54-year-old, who has American, British and Argentine citizenship, fills a void created when Gary Ginstling quit in July just one season into the job. “He’s done a really wonderful job with Philadelphia, and one of the most important issues was that he has a very close relationship with Gustavo Dudamel,” philharmonic co-chairman Peter W. May said. “That was really the most important factor for us.” Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tarnopolsky played clarinet and received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music and musicology from King's College, London. A performance of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony by Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic at the 1987 BBC Proms had an especially memorable impact. He was the New York Philharmonic's vice president of artistic planning from December 2005 until August 2009, then spent nine years as executive director of Cal Performances at Berkeley until moving to Philadelphia in 2018. Cal hosted Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra in several residencies. He called his return to the New York Philharmonic along with Dudamel a “full circle moment,” recalling hitting it off with the conductor during a work visit to Caracas. “I watched him work with the kids of the Simón Bolivar and was just blown away, and so we invited him to conduct the New York Philharmonic. So this is a story almost two decades in the making,” Tarnopolsky said in an interview. Ginstling joined the New York Philharmonic as executive director from Washington's National Symphony Orchestra. “Frankly, it just wasn’t a good fit from both Gary's perspective and our perspective," May told The Associated Press. "Matías clearly had significantly more experience than Gary has had in terms of leading one of the top orchestras in the country and we're quite confident that this is the right guy for the job.” Philharmonic co-chairman Oscar L. Tang said Tarnopolsky is aligned with the vision held by Dudamel and the board. “Gustavo says that he feels classical music is a human right and he wants to view classical music as a force for social development, social good,” Tang said. “These are some of the aspirations that Peter and I have for the New York Phil in terms of extending its role in the cultural and civic life of New York City and really the country and the world.” The New York Philharmonic returned to a renovated Geffen Hall in October 2022, announced Dudamel’s hiring four months later . Borda said guest conductors have been engaged and a tour has been arranged for Dudamel's first season, with his approval, but much of the 2026-27 programming remains open. “Here’s a chance that comes along maybe once in a lifetime to author a completely new chapter for a great musical institution,” Tarnopolsky said. “The commitment here is to rededicate ourselves to ensuring the philharmonic’s place in the civic, cultural, musical, educational life of contemporary New York.” Ryan Fleur, the Philadelphia Orchestra's executive director, will become its interim president on Jan. 1, a role he held for eight months in 2018 between Allison Vulgamore's departure and Tarnopolsky's arrival. ___ This story corrects that Matías Tarnopolsky headed Philadelphia Orchestra six years.
