In this episode, we chat with Dan Myerson, Executive Chairman of Foran Mining Corporation, a diversified exploration, and development company with projects in central Canada's Flin Flon mining belt.   They are looking to develop the world's first carbon-neutral copper mine.   Dan has a finance and resources background and worked for some leading financial institutions and mining companies during his career. He is now spearheading this exciting project with Foran Mining. We talk about the deposit at McIlvenna Bay and the uniqueness and potential it has. As well as the recent investment by Prem Watsa’s Fairfax Financial that they received.   KEY TAKEAWAYS. Foran Mining has low-cost assets, that are rich in deposits which will continue to produce over the long term. The infrastructure needed to exploit the area was already in place, saving them a huge amount of money. Their current focus is building a carbon-neutral copper mine. They use hydropower, build using as many green products as possible, and use electric trucks. Their green approach has also produced economic benefits. Foran mining works to build up the economy of the areas in which they work. They subscribe to the circular economics principle. Investing in your people benefits the community and sets things up for future growth. The government in Canada is very switched on to the potential benefits of mining and doing so in a way that benefits everyone. The Bigstone deposit has copper and gold. As well as 7 metres of 27% zinc. The deposits at McIlvenna Bay typically appear in clusters. The area has copper, gold, silver, and zinc. The deposits start at about 30 meters, just below the dollar mark. They have intercepted about 14 meters of copper mineralization across the deposit. Foran Mining also has an exploration program in place that stretches into 2022. Wade Burton who is the Warren Buffet of Canada, has recently invested in Foran Mining.   BEST MOMENTS ‘In Canada, I was optimising and managing our overall assets, as well as the trading business… Also looking for growth opportunities. ‘We want to make it as economical as possible and as sustainable as possible.’ ‘The future for Foran Mining is extremely bright.’     EPISODE RESOURCES LinkedIn - https://ca.linkedin.com/company/foran-mining Website – https://foranmining.com/ Email - ir@foranmining.com   VALUABLE RESOURCES rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ 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, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode, we chat with Michael DiRienzo, Executive Director of The Silver Institute. A non-profit international association that draws its membership from across the breadth of the silver industry. Established in 1971, the Institute serves as the industry’s voice in increasing public understanding of the many uses and values of silver. Michael has been a long-standing member of the silver institute and talks about all things silver, trends, and the future of silver.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Silver is an indispensable metal, with many important uses. The Silver Institute is involved in programmes that encourage more use of silver. As well as developing new products and markets. The Silver Institute provides reliable reports about the silver market. Including free ones and specialist information about specific sectors e.g., solar and the automotive industries. Silver production, supply, and demand all dipped because of the CoVid crisis. The photovoltaic market bucked the trend, with demand growing by 2% despite CoVid. Investment in silver also grew in 2020 and did so in double figures. For 2021, it should remain high. Demand for mined silver is set to grow and production is expected to increase by about 8%. The 2020 silver squeeze was triggered by social media. It helped to bring a fresh wave of new eyes to the silver investment market. Demand from the automotive, electronics, solar, silverware, and jewellery sectors all look set to be strong in 2021. The reopening of economies and accelerated vaccination in industrialized countries is a good thing for silver. Silver has an important role to play in decarbonisation. If something has an on/off switch, it almost certainly contains silver. The automation of vehicles represents a big opportunity for silver. The outlook for silver is extremely good across most areas, the institute´s free survey report explains why that is the case.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Silver is an indispensable metal. ´ ‘it did create a whole new wave of fresh eyes on the silver investment market.’ ‘We like to think of silver as one of the decarbonisation metals.’   EPISODE RESOURCES Website - https://www.silverinstitute.org Silver Institute Global Survey - https://www.silverinstitute.org/all-world-silver-surveys/ Silver Institute Twitter - https://twitter.com/silverinstitute   VALUABLE RESOURCES rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ 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, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode we chat to Chris Gerteisen, Executive Director and CEO of Nova Minerals, a minerals explorer and developer focused on gold and lithium projects in North America. These projects include Nova’s Estelle Gold Project in Alaska and the company’s majority-owned Snow Lakes Resources, which is a lithium project in Canada.   Chris is a geologist by background, with 20 years of experience managing and advancing complex and challenging resource projects across North America, Australia, and Asia for the likes of Newmont, Oxiana, and Pan Aust so has a good pedigree behind him.   We talk about the Korbel Main deposit at the Estelle Project as well as details of the drilling planned for Isabella, You Beauty, and Cathedral throughout the Korbel Valley. We chat about their lithium project as well as their stake in RotorX Aircraft company which is exciting.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   There is a new Alaskan Gold Rush happening. Alaska is very pro-mining. So it is relatively easy to set up and run profitable mines there. Currently, all of Nova Mineral´s Alaskan mining claims are on state land, which makes permitting easier. They have 324 square kilometers of claims to explore, in a very productive area. Nova Minerals is a full year-round operator - despite Alaska´s inclement winters. As well as their producing mines they also have 15 other prospects that are at various stages of advancement. The use of XRT ore sorting and milling has enabled them to upgrade extraction by up to 10 times on some materials. Our resources are very undervalued compared to those of our peers, so there are some opportunities there. The lithium project has 11.1 million tonnes at 1% lithium. Using hydropower enables their Canadian operation to be a low carbon project. Interest in RotorX´s automated electronic-powered aircraft is growing fast. The development of their heavy lift drones is progressing well. As is their electric copter-based urban transport solution. Nova Minerals is just getting started. The best is yet to come.     BEST MOMENTS ‘This belt is where the Alaskan Gold Rush has happened. ´ ‘Every 6 months we´ve increased the resource by a million ounces.’ ‘4.7 million ounces at Korbel alone, RPM coming online and advancing these other prospects…...’   GUEST RESOURCES Twitter - https://twitter.com/novaminerals Website - https://novaminerals.com.au/ Email – info@novaminerals.com.au/   VALUABLE RESOURCES rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ 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, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode, we chat with Hu Fleming, an expert, and senior executive in water management. He was the head of water management for Anglo American. Here, he talks about all things water within the mining industry. We are going to cover water topics that are maybe not obvious to many in the industry. Things that you should be aware of when making everyday decisions. Water will become much scarcer as we move into a commodities super-cycle. So, this episode is a must-listen. Enabling you to learn how to help preserve as much water as possible. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hu has been working in the mining water treatment technology field for 40 years. Being involved in the extraction of all kinds of commodities. Water represents around 15% of the cost of mining. A figure that surprises most mining firms. Some mines have had to shut over water issues. Juniors and mid-tiers are increasingly being asked about water usage plans by would-be investors. Shareholders increasingly insist on the ethical use of water. Climate change is impacting the water supply. Supply levels can easily change drastically during the decades-long life of a mine. Water scarcity is the biggest challenge. Discharge issues are becoming increasingly important. Resource recovery is heavily dependent on water. Fortunately, new technologies and processes are helping to reduce this dependency. Water extraction of rare earths from coal waste is now possible and starting to look viable. Water permits are decreasing at a time when mining is expanding. Zero liquid discharge mines are possible. Mining companies need to be good neighbours and work with other associations/businesses to better manage the available water resources. Mines need to be good neighbours. If they are not, they get regulated to oblivion.  BEST MOMENTS ‘Miners discovered a bit late that water was so significant to their overall financial sustainability. ´ ‘Shareholders have become very activist…they recognise that water generally is the largest flashpoint for communities.’ ‘Every mine should be able to reuse every cubic metre of water that they have.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ 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, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode, we chat with Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle Power who is an international natural resource project developer listed on London’s AIM market. The Company is focused on delivering reliable and affordable power in emerging developing markets with projects in Pakistan and Australia.   Naheed has worked in the public and private sectors, working in consulting and banking, and sits on the boards of a few companies. She explains the story behind Oracle Power and its coal and gold projects in Pakistan and Australia.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Oracle Power will be delivering coal mining power, coal to liquid, and coal to gas. They will be doing all that from just one site. They are currently diversifying their commodity platform and jurisdictions. Diversification mitigates risk. The gold exploration industry in WA has seen unprecedented levels of activity over the past 18 months. Oracle Power secured their WA gold resources at a low price. They have the geochemical results and are planning a drilling programme for their Northern Zone gold asset. In the Northern Zone, they are also expecting to find Nickel. The geochemistry results for the Johndee East project are about to be delivered. Other firms have already expressed interested in buying their gold projects. Oracle Power has huge growth potential. The Oracle Power team is always happy to answer questions from investors.     BEST MOMENTS ‘The people work very well together. The synergy is fantastic. ´ ‘We got in on the right part of the curve of development.’ ‘We always do share; we always do respond.’   GUEST RESOURCES Naheed’s handle is @Naheed_Memon And Oracle’s is @OraclePowerPlc   Twitter - https://twitter.com/oraclepowerplc?lang=en Website - http://www.oraclepower.co.uk/ LinkedIn - Oracle Power PLC | LinkedIn     VALUABLE RESOURCES rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ 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, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode, we chat to Carl Esprey, Executive Director of Contango Holdings who have a large stake in the Lubu Coal Project which is a high-value coking coal project in Zimbabwe and also has their Garalo gold project in Mali.   Carl is a qualified Chartered Accountant and Chartered Financial Analyst and has a long career in the natural resource investment and development sector. He gives us an overview of both projects and a better understanding of the coking coal sector.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Recently there´s been strong price movement within the commodity complex in general. Contango started out looking at assets that were not greenfield assets. In particular, projects that have resource statements and some sort of mine scoping study. With bulk minerals, Contango only opens mines when they have secured a demonstrable offtake agreement. CoVid has made it hard for people to visit assets, which has slowed the rate at which deals can be closed. Demand for coking coal is strong. In some mines, it is now possible to mine just the coking coal. Instead of having to move and backfill the thermal coal too. The Garalo gold project is probably way bigger than initially thought. Garalo is being studied in more detail. At which point, they will tell the market more and decide what size mill to build. No royalty agreements will be signed until the size of the resource is fully understood. They are hoping to pick up neighbouring properties in the vicinity of Garalo.   BEST MOMENTS ‘In the case of bulk minerals, like coal, we won´t build mines until we have a demonstrable offtake agreement. ´ ‘Coking coal is up about 35% since we listed.’ ‘You want to build a large mill and feed it all in from satellite deposits.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ 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, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode, we chat to Kyle Floyd, founder, chairman, and CEO of Vox Royalty who is a high-growth precious metals royalty and streaming company with a portfolio of over 50 royalties and streams spanning nine jurisdictions and are one of the fastest-growing companies in the royalty sector.   Kyle is an investment banker with a background in the mining sector. We hear about his journey in growing this royalty company. Including why it’s different than the other royalty companies out there in this space.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Kyle created Vox as an outlet for generalist investors who wanted to invest in the commodity sector. Vox focuses on what they call third-party royalties. For the last 15 years, royalty companies have outperformed essentially every commodity-based benchmark you can compare them to. Royalty companies take cash from an operations revenue. Royalty companies do not participate when the operation needs cash replenishment. Vox has invested in establishing deal sourcing agents across the world. Enabling them to speak to asset owners first. They mix and diversify their assets as a way of reducing risk.     BEST MOMENTS ‘The issue was that the risk-adjusted returns in the small-cap mining sector really didn't stack up for what investors expected to realise. ´ ‘Royalty companies have outperformed essentially every commodity-based benchmark that you can compare them to.’ ‘I think we´re in a period that´s going to be very, very bullish for commodities.’   GUEST RESOURCES Vox Royalty: IR@voxroyalty.com https://www.voxroyalty.com/ https://twitter.com/vox_royalty https://www.linkedin.com/company/voxroyalty/ https://www.facebook.com/VOXRoyalty/?ref=bookmarks https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_bgGUoAaFFyMNN8E388Oeg?view_as=subscriber   Kyle Floyd: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-floyd-4321004/       VALUABLE RESOURCES rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ 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, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode, we chat to John Ryan, CEO & Director of Gold Express Mines, a multi-asset mineral resource company focused primarily on the acquisition, exploration, evaluation, and development of precious metal properties across the US. John is a mine engineer by background and also studied finance enabling him to start, develop and operate a handful of natural resource companies during his career.   We chat about his career and about many of the projects he has worked on with a handful becoming a success.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   John has worked in the industry for decades. Filling a range of roles. He has been involved in most forms of mining. Gold Express is the result of the movements in gold created off the back of CoVid. John plans to be drilling for various minerals in Western Montana, this year. Mining is cycles of boom and bust. Part of the reason dusting off old properties works so well. Make full use of any historical data that exists. This is very inexpensive exploration. With any property, the first step is to look for flaws rather than discovering them after you have spent a lot of money. Having the right people in place at the right time is essential. Many in the industry are nearing retirement. There is not yet a new generation ready to step up, creating a skill gap. Electric vehicles and climate change pressures is likely to lead to soaring demand for copper, uranium, cobalt, and other minerals.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Good old cold calling can help you to reach the right person. ´ ‘California is not called the golden state for nothing, it has produced 120-150 million ounces.’ ‘People are making use of databases and satellite data more.’   GUEST RESOURCES Email - JR@goldexpressmines.com LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/321johnryan   VALUABLE RESOURCES rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ 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, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode, we chat to Keith Coughlan, Managing Director at European Metals who is an Australian and UK listed mineral exploration and development company advancing a Lithium/Tin Project in the Czech Republic. Keith’s background is in stockbroking and funds management and has been involved in the funding, promoting, and acquisitions of resource companies listed on various stock exchanges like the ASX, AIM, and TSX during his career.   We talk about the European Lithium market and the Cinovec lithium project that European Metals are developing in the Czech Republic   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Cinovec has the largest lithium resource in the EU. Europe wants electric vehicles and is actively building a battery industry to facilitate this. No country wants to rely on a long-distance lithium supply chain controlled by other countries, e.g., China. The environmental impact assessment is a critical path item in terms of developing the project. The Cinovec facility has excellent environmental and ESG credentials. Using a historic mine, processing underground, slurry pipe transportation greatly reduces disruption and the environmental impact. Local people are familiar with mining and are largely happy to see the mine re-open. There is no way that the supply of lithium can keep up with demand. At least not initially, so prices are highly likely to rise.     BEST MOMENTS ‘Cinovec is about the fourth largest hard rock lithium resource in the world. ´ ‘Measuring our ESG is an ongoing process.’ ‘The demand for lithium in Europe is going to grow very very quickly.’ ‘Lithium needs to occur in the right concentration for it to be economically viable.’   GUEST RESOURCES Twitter - @CzechLithium Website - www.europeanmet.com Email - keith@europeanmet.com   VALUABLE RESOURCES rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ 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, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode, we chat to Tony Reda, President, and CEO of Tectonic Metals who are a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, discovery, and development of mineral resources from district-scale projects in politically stable jurisdictions that have the potential to host world-class orebodies in Canada and US.   Tony talks about Tectonic Metals and their Tibbs and Seventymile projects and what the future holds for the company.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Tony´s first big discovery was the Coffee Gold Project that was later acquired for $520 million. Focusing on risk management brings many benefits. Targeting gneissic rock with the same host rock as Pogo has uncovered numerous new drill sites. Re-exploring areas using new approaches is also producing good results. Tectonic Metal’s focus is on working alongside native corporations with the backing of indigenous people. Provided the native population is pro-mining working on their land often results in a streamlined process. Making a positive difference to the community during the first stage of mining is a win-win. Having a diverse team is important. For example, they have an environmental biologist, which brings a different perspective.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We put an emphasis on risk management.’ ‘The jurisdiction is important not only from a geological perspective but also from a government social perspective.’ ‘Part of our process is to go meet with the local communities.’ ‘Investors need to do more due diligence on the risk side.’   GUEST RESOURCES LinkedIn Twitter Facebook Instagram   Ticker symbols - Tectonic Metals Inc.
