We're getting your prepared for next week's AME Roundup 2018 and Vancouver Resource Investment Conference! Matt runs down where you can catch The Northern Miner (1:49) and what we'll be up to at both shows. Meanwhile, we also dig into the World Gold Council's recently-released "Outlook 2018 Global economic trends and their impact on gold" (8:35) and chat about some major themes in the precious metal space heading into the new year. Matt talks global economic growth, shrinking balance sheets, rising interest rates, and more! We also discuss the year-on-year trends in copper, zinc, and nickel. (13:10) And we're excited to bring you the maiden edition of our Engineering Corner! (14:20) This week we're joined by Procon Mining & Tunnelling senior engineer Stefan Wozniak to dig into the details of scoping and mine development.
