We had the privilege of speaking to mining industry veteran Owen Hegarty. 

Owen began his career Rio Tinto (CRA), becoming Asia & Aus. Copper-Gold MD, before branching out and starting Oxiana, which he ultimately merged with Zinifex to form OZ Minerals. Subsequently, he co-founded mining private equity giant EMR Capital, where he serves as exec chair, having also served as the vice-chair of Fortescue during the boom times.
