Episode 136: Palladium's stellar rise ft NAP CEO Jim Gallagher

Palladium has been the top performer among mined commodities over the past two years and now trades at record levels, well above gold and platinum on a per-ounce basis. Jim Gallagher, president and CEO of Toronto-based North American Palladium (TSX: PDL; US-OTC: PALDF) joins the podcast to give us details on the supply and demand fundamentals of the palladium market, and why it's unlikely the key autocatalyst market will revert to platinum as a substitute for palladium any time soon. North American Palladium is the world's only pure-play palladium producer, and mines the metal at its Lac des Iles mine in northwestern Ontario. Jim also gives us an update on the mine and tells his company's remarkable turnaround story. In a promoted-content Mining Minute segment, Max Sali, CEO of newly listed Barrian Mining (TSXV: BARI), talks about his firm's gold assets in Nevada. Visit www.barrianmining.com for more information.
