BEST MOMENTS
"I think there's going to be a lot of news flow in a very short space of time with us. But, yeah, it's going to be a very, very busy summer and I've warned my wife to that extent."
"I'm a big bull on tier one jurisdictions, Australia, Canada. I think there is more than enough that's undiscovered in those locations that you can remove some of the geopolitical risks by looking at those areas."
