Company Interviews

Rupert Verco, Managing Director and CEO of Cobra Resources, discusses the company’s latest copper discoveries at South Australia’s Manna Hill project. They explore shallow mineralisation at the Shadow Rose and Neptune Rose skarns, a compelling porphyry target at Blue Rose West, sulphides beneath the oxide zone, upcoming drilling, geophysics, metallurgy, funding and Cobra’s parallel rare earth strategy.

J.W. Dumont, a mining executive with gold-operations and finance experience in Côte d’Ivoire, outlines his leadership reset at Granada Gold Mine. He discusses corporate cleanup, capital discipline and board changes, the project’s resource and exploration potential, and a staged drilling campaign targeting infill, extensions and deep zones. Ore sorting, alternative processing, direct shipping and toll milling also enter the conversation.

Heye Daun, President and CEO of Koryx Copper, is advancing Namibia’s massive Haib copper project. He discusses the upcoming PFS, resource growth, higher-grade zones and the switch from heap leaching to large-scale flotation. The conversation also explores project economics, infrastructure, financing, strategic buyer interest and the copper market.

Peter Bures, mining engineer and Silver Crown Royalties CEO, joins Michael Gentile, mining investor and strategic adviser, to explore a novel silver royalty model.
