In this episode we have a returning guest who appeared back in October 2020 (episode 101) so please go back and have a listen to that podcast episode. Stephen Stewart, who is chairman of the Ore Group, a Canadian-based natural resource discovery and development organisation who pair people, projects, and capital to create wealth for their shareholders and communities. Stephen has directorships with a number of TSX listed companies including Baselode Energy, Orefinders and QC Copper and Gold. He is also the founder and Chairman of the Young Mining Professionals Scholarship Fund, the largest mining-focused charitable organisation and fund, supporting mining engineering and geology education in Canada. Stephen talks about the Ore Group and associated companies plus the important of the Canadian supply chain and why his favourite commodity is gold. KEY TAKEAWAYS Baseload made a uranium discovery in 2021, and the drills are about to get going in 2023. The year ahead looks to be productive and interesting. The market is currently very tough and it's hard to gain traction. You have to be producing things that capture people's imagination. Gold is the great commodity that seems to act as the bell-weather for the sector. It is insurance, and has been under appreciated. One day it will go up and up, and that's because when uncertainty strikes, gold is the mainstay of the global economy.

In this episode we chat to Tim Strong, CEO of Golden Rim Resources, an ASX listed gold exploration company who are developing significant value by spearheading the next West African gold rush in its exciting flagship Kada Gold project in Guinea. Tim is a Cambourne School of Mines geology graduate who has worked and lived in many countries around the world but most of his work has been in Africa working with both junior and major mining companies. Leading Golden Rim Resources, he gives us an overview of the company and the projects they are developing. We also talk about age bias within the mining industry and the up-skilling of local African geologists which need to be improved. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many are drawn not just to the geological side of mining, but also to the business side of things. That's the beauty of a career in mining. You can come from any background or have any type of passion, and there will be a place in mining for you. There's a huge disconnect between academia and the student body, especially in geology. There seems to be a negative connotation towards mining, which can be seen as dirty and destructive. This image needs to change. Golden Rim resources is one of the legacy operators in West Africa and still operates in Burkina Faso. Guinea is now the flagship project. Qualifications are all very well, and can prove useful in certain situations, but the lack of them is never a barrier to growth and development in the mining space.

In this episode we chat to Peter Hume, Executive Director for Celsius Resources, who are an ASX and AIM listed exploration and development company focusing on its portfolio of copper-gold assets located in the Philippines.

He gives up an update on Celsius Resources with their potential world-class copper-gold assets they have in the Philippines as well as giving us an update on the Philippine mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Dealing with indigenous communities can be challenging, but also very rewarding. Experience in this field gives you a definite benefit in terms of strategy. Running the day-to-day operations can be extremely challenging, and requires devotion to the job. You have to make sacrifices and compromise, but the results speak for themselves. The investment climate was very quiet during the pandemic, but things are picking up now, substantially. The Philippine government suffered economic impact and now see mining as a way of bouncing back, financially.

Chesser has updated a study, and now see a prospect of over 800,000 ounces. It clearly shows a low-wisk high value operation is foreseeable at the site. In Senegal, phase nine of the drill programme has been completed, which aims to expand the sites and create new exploration projects.

The company has grown significantly to what it is today and Mike gives us an update on what has happened over the last few years KEY TAKEAWAYS A new subsidiary in South Africa and a series of engineers and agents located around the world are all seeing to it that the new reactor technology has been largely accepted by the mining industry. Flotation technology is a type of pneumatic technology, and is remarkable different from the tank tech that has been well established. It is far more efficient. During lockdowns and travel restrictions, new measures were needed in order to push this environmentally beneficial technology. But there was only so much that could be done remotely.
