Good morning. Ottawa is betting big on critical minerals to strengthen Canada’s economy, but many of the mining projects it’s backing come with considerable financial risks. With taxpayers helping foot the bill, the question is whether the potential payoff will be worth it. More on that below. Up firstIn the newsSteel: Mélanie Joly has given Stelco’s U.

The attacker moved $744,000 in ETH and BNB to Tornado Cash after exploiting Cysic’s bridge to mint 10 million tokens on BNB Smart Chain. The wallet linked to the Cysic bridge exploit sent about $744,000 in cryptocurrencies to Tornado Cash on Friday after the Cysic Foundation offered the attacker a 10% recovery bounty. The address transferred 300 Ether (ETH) and 30.4 BNB to the crypto mixer, according to blockchain security company PeckShield. The hacker exploited a bridge vulnerability to mint 10 million Cysic (CYS) tokens on BNB Smart Chain on Saturday. Cysic suspended the bridge and blacklisted the recipient address, freezing about 2.8 million of the newly minted tokens. The foundation said its mainnet and existing assets in user wallets were unaffected. The following Thursday, the Cysic Foundation offered the hacker a 10% bounty in exchange for returning 275.872 ETH, worth about $665,000, representing roughly 90% of the identified Ether proceeds. Tornado Cash pools deposits from multiple addresses, making the funds harder to trace. The attacker’s Ethereum wallet held just $45 in ETH at press time, according to Akham data.

Last spring, Prime Minister Mark Carney attended a groundbreaking for a graphite mine in Quebec. As Mr. Carney and Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc. chief executive Eric Desaulniers crunched along the gravelly construction site about 120 kilometres north of Montreal, the skies grew dark. Then as Mr. Desaulniers started his prepared remarks at a makeshift lectern, heavy rain started falling, eventually soaking everyone in attendance. “Literally the only 15 minutes when it rained during the day,” said Mr. Desaulniers. Like many mining CEOs, he’s wired as an optimist. He didn’t view the gloomy weather as a bad omen for the project, the opposite in fact. “When it’s raining on your wedding day, it should be a very happy marriage,” Mr. Desaulniers said.
