Episode 48: Technical report showdown & zinc strikes back

Matt and Lesley are back with another Geology Corner for investors! This week we discuss 43-101 economic and resource reports with a focus on certain factors you can look for when determining disclosure quality and mine design. Lesley digs into metal equivalency reporting, metallurgy, and deposit types. Meanwhile, Matt sits down with president and CEO of newly-public Adventus Zinc (TSXV: ADZN), Christian Kargl-Simard, to chat about the company's investment thesis and the state of zinc markets. Bonus: We briefly re-visit the recent trading and short-selling report on Northern Dynasty Minerals (TSX: NDM; NYSE-MKT: NAK) and its controversial Pebble project in Alaska.
