Episode 42: New Year edition ft. 2017 outlook, Donald Trump, & Cordoba Minerals

The Northern Miner returns with a post-holiday edition wherein Western Editor Matthew Keevil digs into a variety of the macro-economic and political themes heading into 2017. We discuss financial outlooks on the U.S. and Canadian economies, the state of China's The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), and the potential tension between the Trudeau Liberals and Donald J. Trump's incoming Republican regime. Matt also drills into his recent interview with Cordoba Mineral's (TSXV: CDB; US-OTC: CDBMF) president and CEO Mario Stifano, which just put out a maiden resource on its Alacran copper-gold deposit in Colombia, where it is working on a joint venture with Robert Friedland's High Power Exploration (HPX).
