Episode 27: Gold focus and the CEO corner

Matt launches an exciting new feature this week entitled "CEO Corner." We touch base with B2Gold (TSX: BTO; NYSE-MKT: BTG) president and CEO Clive Johnson to talk about the right way to build a gold company, and drill into current gold markets and merger-and-acquisition strategy. Matt also heads up to IDM Mining’s (TSXV: IDM) Red Mountain property in northwestern B.C. to catch-up with president and CEO Robert McLeod. The company recently unveiled an exciting new drill target at its Lost Valley zone, and continues to advance the project through permitting and towards a new feasibility study. Bonus: Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellan and company are at it again in Jackson Hole, Wy. Matt digs into the recent depression in commodity prices, and shares his thoughts on both B2Gold and IDM Mining.
