Episode 52: Anniversary edition ft. UBC'S MDRU & Leagold

Happy one-year anniversary to the Northern Miner podcast! Matt and Lesley sit down for episode #52 with a special guest for the Geology Corner. We're joined by Craig Hart, director of the University of British Columbia's (UBC) Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU), to talk about the new 2-year, industry and government-funded Yukon-Alaska Metallogeny project. The project responds to the needs of gold and copper exploration companies in the Yukon-Alaska Cordillera, a region widely recognized for its mineral potential, but where geoscientific data is either absent, of poor or outdated quality, or requiring synthesis and interpretation. We dig into Goldcorp's (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) Coffee gold deposit and the White Gold district, as well as transitioning geological knowledge from the Yukon to Alaska. Meanwhile, Matt sits down with the CEO of Leagold Mining (TSXV: LMC; US-OTC: HTXFD), Neil Woodyer, to talk about the company's pending deal with Goldcorp for the Los Filos mine in Mexico! Bonus: An update on the Northern Miner's Canadian Mining Symposium event in London, England, on May 9th! Timeline: Show summary: 0:30 Macro economic roundup: 4:08 Geology Corner ft.
