Want the best investment opportunities in mining & energy? Join my FREE newsletter: https://resourceinsider.com/#free-RI-list
Robert Quartermain has spent four decades building mining companies from the ground up and turning them into billion-dollar successes.
He’s best known for transforming Silver Standard Resources from a tiny explorer with no assets into one of the largest silver companies in the world, and for founding Pretium Resources, which built the world-class Brucejack Mine in northern BC.
Today, he’s the co-chair and driving force behind Dakota Gold, and one of the most respected leaders in the mining industry.
In this episode, Bob and I discuss:
• How he built (and kept) a loyal shareholder base for over 30 years
• How he bought a house in Vancouver with $2,000
• How a geology degree led to building billion-dollar companies
• The silver bet that took a decade to pay off (and why patience mattered)
• Why he believes South Dakota could be America’s next great gold district
• His views on AI, technology, and the next generation of mining leaders

RI Podcast EP 59 - Mike Hood, JDS Mining
Every now and then on the Ri Podcast I have a guest that gets me a little bit star struck. I think to myself, this is not a person I thought I’d have the chance to sit down with for a 60-min conversation.
That's where I am today with Mike Hood.
Until 2018 Mike was the Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force. He’s advised Prime Ministers, lead engagements around the world, and interacted with some of the top political and military leaders of our time.
Today he’s the President of JDS Operational Technologies, a division of the JDS Group of Companies, focused on the introduction of innovative and disruptive technologies to the resource sector.
In this far reaching podcast we talk:
• Chinese spy balloons;
• The Russian/Ukrainian conflict;
• Sabotage and espionage in the mining sector; and
• Why critical resources are under attack and what industry leaders should be doing about it.
It was truly a pleasure to get to spend an hour learning from Mike. This episode is a must listen for anyone leading a natural resource company or thinking of deploying capital in these volatile times.
