It was our privilege to sit down with Perseus Mining CEO Jeff Quartermaine.

Jeff has run the West African gold miner for over a decade, helping take the company from a junior to where it is today.

We discussed the recent M&A drama involving Predictive, capital allocation in a world of US$3k/oz gold, his view on hedging as well as the all-important aspect of jurisdictional risk.
