Episode 117: Love me or hate me - The Margaret Kent (Peggy Witte) story, part 1

Part 1: My world came crashing down. "There's a few of us still left around the industry who have seen it all and done it all." So begins this exclusive, in-depth interview with Stratabound Minerals chairman Margaret "Peggy" Kent, carried out by Northern Miner senior staff writer Trish Saywell on the sidelines of the PDAC convention in Toronto earlier this year. In Part 1 of the interview, Peggy reflects on some of the wisdom she's gained from her long and controversial run as a mining executive, including as CEO of Royal Oak Mines (when she was named Peggy Witte) including major problems at the Giant mine in Yellowknife, N.W.T., and the gold major's devastating bankruptcy in the mid-1990s. She also talks about the Yukon and her latest venture Stratabound Minerals, with its grassroots gold property in the territory.
