For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Mariusz Skonieczny, the Founder of MicroCap Explorations. We were connected on Twitter when I put out a tweet asking for MicroCap investors that I haven't had on the show yet, quite a few of you suggested Mariusz. I really enjoyed getting to know Mariusz, his background, how MicroCap investing fit his personality and how he was able to turn $10,000 investment in 2009 to $7 Million in 12 years.  For more information about Mariusz Skonieczny and MicroCap Explorations, please visit: https://microcapexplosions.com/ You can Follow Mariusz Skonieczny on Twitter @ClassicValueInv: https://twitter.com/ClassicValueInv Today's episode is sponsored by: Stream by AlphaSense, an expert interview transcript library that integrates AI-generated call summaries and NLP search technology so their clients can quickly pinpoint the most critical insights.

My guest on the show today is John Swallow, CEO and President of Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. (NYSE American: IDR). Idaho Strategic Resources. Headquartered in North Idaho, Idaho Strategic Resources (IDR) is one of the few resource-based companies (public or private) possessing the combination of officially recognized U.S. domestic rare earth element properties (in Idaho) and Idaho-based gold production in an established mining community. IDR’s strategic two-pronged approach as a gold producer with a focus on rare earth elements and other strategic resources gives them a unique foundation of cash flows and future business plans. Idaho Strategic Resources is not your normal mining company, at least not the kind I'm used to interviewing in my career, and my goal for this interview was to understand the DNA for why. In addition, John and I discuss: Gold Production asset in North Idaho Why IDR is excited about their Rare Earth Elements projects What it's like going from a nobody's heard of us company on OTC to now an NYSE-listed company, after their recent uplisting With that, please enjoy my conversation with John Swallow, CEO and President of Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Caspar Rawles, Chief Data Officer at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. This interview was a selfish pursuit on my part because I felt a disconnect between the mainstream idea that we need more battery metals for EV and other applications, and what the reality of the situation looks like right now: are we using the right technology for EV batteries, the actual problem with procurement of these raw materials, why the issues are greater than securing sources of these materials. The Benchmark Mineral Intelligence team and Caspar are at the forefront of doing research and data monitoring covering all these questions and more.    For more information about Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, please visit: https://www.benchmarkminerals.com/    You can Follow Caspar Rawles on Twitter @CDMRawles: https://twitter.com/CDMRawles    Today's episode is sponsored by: Stream by AlphaSense, an expert interview transcript library that integrates AI-generated call summaries and NLP search technology so their clients can quickly pinpoint the most critical insights.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Bill Powers, Host of the MiningStockEducation.com Podcast and Full time investor in resource stocks. He will be moderating a panel at the event called, “Expert Tips and Strategies for Profitably Investing in Junior Mining Stocks” with Gwen Preston and David Erfle. I was a guest on Bill's podcast recently, so we wanted to do a "home-and-home" to discuss his upcoming appearance in Vegas, as well as dig into the topic of investing in Junior Mining Stocks. As you know, I try and be judicious to all MicroCap investing strategies and specialities, from the more value approaches to growth-y stuff, to cannabis, crypto, mining and more revenue generating, Lynch-ian type businesses. Whether you like it or not, metals and mining makes up a huge (with a "Y") swath of the MicroCap space. With gold not far off its all time highs and macro pressures to increase domestic production for most metals, if you want to start educating yourself on how to play some tailwinds, my conversation with Bill is a great start, and his podcast is an excellent resource.
