Brett has a wealth of mining experience and knowledge over a 30 year period working for the likes of Banro, Roxgold, Katanga Mining and Kinross and his expertise lies in financing mines, developing operations and M&A.
Brett gives a details overview of the companies outlook and talks about the transaction with Wesdome to acquire Moss Lake and why they were interested in partnering with Goldshore Resources. They recently raised $25M and Brett discusses their plans and what they are looking to do with this in the ground. Brett also speaks about mining in Africa having spent a considerable amount of time there and what lies ahead along with the future of the mining industry.
