In the episode we chat to Dana Samuelson, President of American Gold Exchange who are a leading national precious metals and rare coin company specializing in dealer-to-dealer trading and direct sales to the public. Dana has a wealth of experience in precious metals and rare U.S. gold coin buying and selling, starting this company over 25 years ago. He educates us about the history of the monetary system, why its important for everyone to have physical gold and silver especially in this current environment and what the difference is between money and currency. KEY TAKEAWAYS When the US left the gold standard in 1971, the dollar was destined to lose purchasing power. A grass roots organisation was led to drive the re-legalisation of gold ownership. The ratio between gold and silver in value back in the 1930s was twenty parts silver to one part gold because that's how easily it was found without modern mining technology. Currency is a medium of exchange. Money is something that has an intrinsic value. Oil, for instance, is as valuable as money, but has no meaningful route to exchange. The biggest macro trend that people need to be aware of is debt. From 1795 to 1995 the US accumulated five trillion dollars in debt. Less than thirty years later they have accumulated a total of 31 trillion. Debt has increased exponentially. BEST MOMENTS 'I got a real lucky break working for the godfather of our industry' 'Gold and silver were money and currency' 'Currency is something we use as a medium of exchange' 'The biggest problem is that the federal reserve has been coming to the rescue of the economy' VALUABLE RESOURCES   Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes Dana Samuelson LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dana-samuelson-64793056 VALUABLE RESOURCES mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJg_Q?guided_help_flow=3 ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first-world to third-world countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode we chat to Bob Duffin, Executive Chairman at Eastern Metals, an Australian base and precious metals exploration company with a portfolio of projects in New South Wales and the Northern Territory in Australia. Bob has more than 45 years’ experience in resource exploration, project assessment, mining investment analysis, and company management and is here today to tell us about Eastern Metals, what they have achieved and talks more about their Tara project and Brown Reef Deposit in NSW and their Arunta project in NT plus an update on the Australian mining sector.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The most effective way to increase resource grade or tonnage is to build upon the work done by others in the past - refining and streamlining processes for a better result. The assets lie within a defined geological province which contains primary deposits of lithium. This has caused Bob to engage in a systematic reconnaissance program. In New South Wales, the main project is Brown Reef, but they also operate in Tara where copper mineralisation has taken place in the past. The factor in which no one has any control is commodity pricing. Fortunately they are strong right now and are expected to remain so.

In this episode we chat to Per Wimmer, CEO of Wimmer Financial, a merchant bank specialising in project and acquisition finance within natural resources as well as sectors focussing on project debt and equity financing at the BFS/DFS stage or equivalent. Per worked for Goldman Sachs as an executive director earlier in his career before setting up Wimmer Financial in 2007 and is going to discuss the companies journey and their future. He also speaks about possibly becoming the first private Dane in space as a Founding Astronaut on Virgin Galactic and of the 3 books he has written, the “Wall Street” and “The Green Bubble”. Per will be speaking at the upcoming Mines and Money Connect Conference in London on 25th-26th April at the County Hall Venue in the heart of Westminster, London. The 2-day programme is a hub for investors and mining companies to have personal one on one meetings and listen to the market analysis, project spotlights, and pitch battles during the action-packed event. So go to this link and book your tickets: https://minesandmoney.com/connect/index KEY TAKEAWAYS By working for the most renowned of financial institutions, Per has gained a significant footing in the world of finance, and is now one of the most respected figures in his field. Today, Wimmer Financial is comprised of a suite of companies all headed by a family office, that oversees accounting, merchant banking and equity concerns. In the last five years there has been a surge in capital values. The cost of capital is very cheap and it makes way more sense to borrow that to draw upon much needed reserves. The financial sector is seeing a correction in the wake of rising inflation and interest rates, and things are challenging. This means that challenges are still out there, but more discernment is required. BEST MOMENTS 'I was there during the late 90's - the exciting boom times!'

In this episode we chat to George Salamis and Jason Kosec who are merging their two companies together. George is President/CEO of Integra Resources who are a development-stage mining company focused on the exploration and de-risking of the past producing DeLamar Gold-Silver Project in Idaho, USA. Jason Kosec, CEO, President and Director of Millennial Precious Metals who are building a multi-million-ounce, multi-asset production company unlocking value through near-surface, heap leachable gold and silver ounces in Nevada and Arizona. Integra recently merged with Millennial so we talk more about this transaction and why this is good for both companies. "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." -- African proverb. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we harness the power of two teams into one force, it dramatically multiplies the strengths we have at hand. There are too many exploration and development companies in operation right now - the market is saturated. The merger is designed to be the go-to choice in the space, and to remain relevant. One of the biggest problems in the sector is people. The key to success is to secure top quality assets and top quality people. The question of potential mergers should always be seen with a bird's eye perspective. By merging, we are often doing a great service to our shareholders, and indeed to the world beyond, who could greatly benefit when two forces are yoked together.

In this episode we chat to Dan Betts, Executive Chairman and CEO of Hummingbird Resources, an AIM listed mining company who are a leading multi-asset, multi-jurisdiction gold production, development and exploration company with two core gold projects in Mali and Guinea. Dan founded Hummingbird in 2005 and has successfully taken the company from a grassroots exploration business to a listed, producing mining company. The Betts family business has been around since 1760 and your the oldest privately-owned gold bullion smelters and refiners in the country so there’s a strong and long history of working in the precious metals industry Dan talks about the history of Hummingbird Resources and their Yanfolila Gold Mine in Mail and their Kouroussa project in Guinea what their looking to achieve as a company. KEY TAKEAWAYS Dan's family business essentially recycles metals for use in medicinal practices. This has had some crossover with his current business with Hummingbird, providing traceability for gold in mining. Hummingbird are looking to build more mines, grow the company, and engender more diversified operations in the long term. Making mistakes when trying to find your footing is not a bad thing, as there are no such thing as mistakes - only lessons that make you stronger. When you're starting out, it's wise not to over-recruit. Make use of freelancers and specialists instead of crippling the business with overburdened wage bills, until you're in a better position and can hire long term. BEST MOMENTS 'The family business is effectively a recycling business' 'We're trying to refine our ability to be a grown up mining company in terms of operations' 'You have to be honest about mistakes and learn from them' 'We've made some pretty serious management changes throughout the company' VALUABLE RESOURCES   Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes Twitter: @HUM_gold LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hummingbird-resources/ Hummingbird Resources - https://www.hummingbirdresources.co.uk/ VALUABLE RESOURCES mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJg_Q?guided_help_flow=3 ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first-world to third-world countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode we have a returning guest who appeared back in November 2019 (Episode 51). Mike Jones is Managing Director at Impact Minerals Limited, an exploration company listed on the ASX with four extensive tenement holdings within Australia, featuring significant potential for high-grade mineral deposits of gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper and nickel. A graduate from the Royal School of mines, Mike is a very experienced geologist across Australia and in particular WA and give us an update on Impact Minerals around their recent acquisition and they recent partnership with BHP Xplor, one of the first 7 companies to be selected. He also gives us an update on the Western Australia mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS To find a world-class project takes time. You may get lucky, but it takes an extraordinary amount of work. Resilience is the key, especially in the face of challenges in certain countries and COVID, but persistence and hard work lead to results. Impact Minerals is one of the first seven companies, globally, to be chosen to be part of the BHP Explore programme. Perth is becoming a battery hub involved in downstream processing. Required acids are available freely in this port region. Across South East Asia, many countries are starting to grow, with technology leading the field. This requires an entirely new way of mining with an endless stream of demand. BEST MOMENTS 'The philosophy of generating targets is what led me to start Impact Minerals' 'We've been pretty discriminating about the targets we've chosen' 'All of a sudden gold came back.

In this episode we chat to Spencer Cole, Chief Investment Officer for Vox Royalty who are a mining royalty company with a portfolio of over 60 royalties and streams spanning 8 jurisdictions. Since the beginning of 2020, Vox has announced over 25 separate transactions to acquire over 50 royalties. In the past 6 months alone Vox has dual listed on the NASDAQ exchange, launched a maiden dividend and announced +160% annual revenue growth. With a Masters of Engineering and a Bachelor of Commerce, Spencer co-founded Mineral Royalties Online (MRO), a specialist marketplace/brokerage for mineral royalties underpinned by developing the world’s largest proprietary royalty database, which was subsequently sold to SilverStream in 2019. While at MRO, Spencer was involved in over $1 billion of royalty transactions. In addition to co-founding MRO, Spencer has spent over 10 years at BHP, South32 and UBS Investment Bank in a wide range of commercial and technical mining roles. Spencer gives us an update on VOX Royalty and give us a more in-depth understand of the royalty space and why data is becoming more important than ever within the mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Toronto is the home of many mining companies, but the true understanding required for the industry is not quite there. The ASX continues to support African projects more, whereas the Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX venture support South American more consistently. Junior explorers have historically sold mining projects and kept a contract that gives them a future royalty scheme. There is a huge volume of data in the mining industry that is not being properly processed and evaluated. This is representative of the opportunity we have in the sector to find insight and benefit. Royalty a mainly North American-focussed sector. Most royalties are generated when businesses sell mining claims. There are simply more gold royalties in North America because it’s a rich area in terms of gold. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm a reformed investment banker' 'There's a slight bias in terms of which geographies they'll allocate capital to' 'Toronto is a pretty fun place to live, particularly as a mining executive' 'We're typically finding these royalty contracts sitting in the hands of prospectors' 'The benefit of hindsight is always a double-edged sword' VALUABLE RESOURCES Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes spencer@voxroyalty.com https://voxroyalty.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/voxroyalty/ https://twitter.com/vox_royalty VALUABLE RESOURCES mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJg_Q?guided_help_flow=3 ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first-world to third-world countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode we chat to Rob Bergmann and Brian Lentz, of Relevant Gold who are a North American project generator, junior explorer hybrid business model, developing gold and precious metal projects throughout the USA. The current portfolio is focused on discovering district-scale, high-grade gold deposits through a “new eyes on old rocks” approach. Rob is the CEO and Brian is the Chief exploration officer and director and they tell us of their story from being university friends and being out in the field to then building business together and exploring for gold in Wyoming. KEY TAKEAWAYS Exposure to the full spectrum of the mining industry allows us to gain a wide perspective about the sector's potential from the beginning. We must always take advantage of new concepts when re-exploring older projects so as to unlock potential that may have been dismissed in the past. Many of the areas in Wyoming have been historically mined, and so a systematic geological approach is necessary. As well as Relevant Gold, the space is currently being developed by US Gold Corp in Cheyenne. State support and community support is lending ease to this transaction.

In the episode we chat to Fred White, Chief Commercial Officer at Descycle, a relative new company with the aim of developing clean technology for a variety of metals recycling & recovery and are guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals to develop low-impact metals processing technologies. Fred is geologist and investor with a decade of international resource sector experience as a geologist, investment analyst and portfolio manager and is here today to tell us the story of Descycle and what they are looking to achieve in developing clean technology for a variety of metals recycling & recovery. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial to get some kind of field experience in the sector before you settle into your chosen area. It helps to have some "dirt under your fingernails" Descycle is aiming to change the way the world processes and recycles metals, hoping to replace pollutive, high energy expensive processes. Descycle's unique form of chemistry involves using metals which behave differently than in any other processing system in use today. In the world's attempts to achieve net zero, we need to electrify economies, which requires a vast quantity of metals. DES is a new class of chemistry made of non-toxic biodegradable, mass produced inputs. They are non-water based mixtures of salts and organic compounds.

In this episode we chat to Phil Russo, Chief Executive Officer & Executive Director of Toubani Resources, a Canadian-listed exploration and development company with a focus on developing their Kobada Gold Project in Southern Mali, West Africa. Phil is an experienced mining and finance professional with more than 18-years experience in corporate, project development and capital markets functions working for the likes of Barrick Gold and Perseus Mining and talks about the story of Toubani Resources, what they have achieved so far and the outlook of the company in 2023. KEY TAKEAWAYS Canada and Australia are the epicentre of mining and finance, so many find themselves drawn there, specifically in the burgeoning mining sector. Toubani's projects produce somewhere in the region of 100,000 ounces per year. It is advanced and well-permitted, providing a robust platform upon which to flourish.
