Dig Deep Rob Tyson Meets Rob Tyson?! of Peel Mining
In this first episode of 2020, we interview Rob Tyson (no I’m not interviewing myself!), Managing Director of Peel Mining Ltd, an Australian company focused on exploring and developing precious base metals resources in New South Wales, Australia. Peel Mining is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and is continuing to build shareholder value by recognising, enhancing and developing undervalued mineral resource assets and which has three base and precious metals projects in NSW.
We chat about how Peel Mining is developing assets in Cober, NSW, the discoveries they have made, exploration in the Cobar Basin, and what makes the area special. Through their success, Rob and Peel have been awarded the AMEC Prospector Award. We discuss what makes them unique, their project criteria and what lies in the future for the company and in the Cobar region. We conclude by seeing how the exploration and geology sector is developing in Australia.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The Cobar basin region is an area with a strong mining pedigree, which was attractive to Peel.
- The main formations in the Cobar region are pipe-like, and stretch all the way to the centre of the earth. The highest grade copper mine in Australia is local to the area and stretched down almost 2km below the surface.
- Companies are more keen to invest in their own exploration projects instead of funding junior miners to find them on their behalf.
- Batteries and electric vehicles are set to drive up the demand, and the price, of copper, of which there does not seem to be enough right now.
- Rob’s advice to aspiring geologists is to make sure their CV is up to date and looking attractive, and then get it in front of as many people as possible. People don’t mind being approached, and opportunities are there.
.BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s the only job I know where you get paid to go camping’
‘There’s a lot of low-grade opportunities in South America’
‘The biggest issue is making sure you’ve got the right people’
‘Hopefully the commodities market is firm over the next twelve to eighteen months. It’s fits and starts’
‘Keep getting your CV out there!’
