Multi-Billion Dollar Capex, 4000m Elevation, No Power … and still Attractive? Explaining Filo Mining
Today we went deep on Filo Mining with CEO Jamie Beck. Filo have discovered & are advancing the Filo Del Sol copper-gold-silver project high up in the Andes. They fly under the radar in Australia but given their scale and our lack of copper opportunities we thought they’d be worth a chat. We grilled Jamie on all the challenges that come along with working at 4000m+ elevation, on an isolated project spread across two countries with a rumoured capex figure in the many billions.

World’s First Podcast in a Pit
Welcome to the first ever global Podcast interview from inside an OPEN PIT (we’re claiming the first). The Money of Mine crew had the pleasure of recording this episode in the historic Great Fingal Pit, close to the town of Cue. Would you believe this trip was Trav’s first venture underground? We got to speak with some real mining people while out there – recordings filmed underground which we look forward to sharing in due course. This recording summarises some of our takeaways from the trip chatting with Westgold’s MD, Wayne Bramwell and various site leaders there at Cue. It’s a bit of a different episode to usual but we hope the Money Miners enjoy the uniqueness nonetheless.

Something Doesn’t Quite Add Up with this Developer’s Mysterious US$300m Financing
We spoke about a couple of majors plus an intriguing junior today. BHP tuned into our comments on nickel earlier in the week and voiced their thoughts, saying that they’re sticking with nickel despite what others think. Rio has dished out a US$100m loan to partners in their Simandou iron ore project, one of the richest and thus far untapped projects globally. We saved a deep diving special for Besra Gold (BEZ), a truly fascinating story for the Money Miners to tune into!
