West African Gold Mining Opportunities with Bert Monro

In the episode, we chat to Bert Monro, CEO of Cora Gold who are a UK-based AIM-listed company that is a gold exploration company with a focus on gold exploration in Mali and Senegal.   Bert has a strong background in Africa having spent over 10 years at Hummingbird Resources in senior management, so has a great understanding of how to develop gold mining assets in those regions. He shares what Cora is currently focusing on, explaining why and elaborating on the opportunities that still exist in the area and how investors and others can tap into them.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Cora is mainly a grassroots explorer making discoveries in West Africa. The feasibility study for Sanankoro Gold Discovery is on track for delivery later in the year. This project is fully financed, but investment opportunities still exist for the project. Exploratory drills will be complete in July. So far, the results are excellent. Much of the site is covered by free digging material, keeping extraction costs low. Cora has 5 permits in the Sankara project area, but they also have permits in other parts of West Africa. The engagement with the local community is good and ESG projects are progressing fast. Cora is one of the first companies to get its exploration permit renewed, post the new mining code. The pandemic threw up some curveballs, but the team has adapted well.     BEST MOMENTS ‘The thing we really like about Sanakoro is that you´ve got a lot of oxide material. ´ ‘CoVid didn´t change the way we operated the business because we were working remotely before.’ ‘Look to build the lowest cost operation possible … to maximize your margin whatever the gold price.’ ‘I think gold equities offer investors great leverage into the gold price. ´   GUEST RESOURCES Twitter LinkedIn Cora Gold website info@coragold.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.

Understanding The Potash Industry - with Graham Clarke

In this episode we chat to Graham Clarke, CEO of Emmerson Plc who are a potash development company focused on the development of the Khemisset Potash Project in Northern Morocco. Graham is a senior executive of over 30 years with an expertise in potash and polyhalite working for the likes of Cleveland Potash and Sirius Minerals so is someone who understands the industry inside out and I’m interested as you to learn more about the potash industry. Graham talks about the potash industry as a whole and what Emmerson’s plans are moving forward through to construction and production. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every plant in the world needs six macronutrients in order to grow - phosphorous, potassium, nitrogen, sulphur, magnesium and calcium Around nine global producers provide, collectively, 90% of the world's supply of potash, meaning that this essential ingredient only comes from a handful of companies. Potash is a vital ingredient in the world of fertilisers - meaning that the world's supply of crops is reliant on this resource. Mining seems to have acquired a negative image in the media, but we must remember that everything in the world is either grown or mined/extracted. BEST MOMENTS 'Every plant in the world needs six macronutrients' 'There's around 80 million tons of potash sold every year' 'We globally have to produce 60% more food by 2050, than we produce today' 'We're very strong on the environment' VALUABLE RESOURCES Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes  Graham Clarke LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/graham-clarke-b6954544/?originalSubdomain=uk ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is an established recruiter in the mining and quarrying sector and decided to produce the “Dig Deep” The Mining Podcast to provide valuable and informative content around the mining industry.

Uranium Insights - with Brandon Munro

In this episode we chat to Brandon Munro, CEO at Bannerman Resources, an ASX and NSX listed exploration and development company with an 95% interest in the Etango Uranium Project in Namibia. Brandon is on the podcast to discuss all things uranium as he is an expert in this sector. He is the author of a book called “Uranium Insights” and also the chair of the nuclear fuel demand working group within the World Nuclear Association so is entrenched in the sector. We discuss why the world needs uranium and why it’s been in a bear market since the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011 and what happened since then. We talk about the supply and demand issues and why the price is very low to its all-time high. It’s an interesting episode packed with knowledge if you want to know more about uranium as it enters a bull market and why uranium is needed for global energy supply.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Having run a project for over 15 years has allowed Bannerman to create a foothold, not just in terms of relationships, but knowledge base. Refining projects means that projects become more streamlined in terms of development hurdles. This can then be expanded back outwards. Helping people is easy, but having a truly transformative effect upon people’s lives is more difficult. That is why choosing the site of projects can allow true change for countries that need it. Today, there is a pronounced deficit in uranium, which is being met by draw-down in excess inventories.

#129 DD - A Conversation with Phoenix Copper's Ryan McDermott

DESCRIPTION In this episode we chat to Ryan McDermott, CEO of Phoenix Copper Ltd, who are a AIM listed North American focused emerging producer, who are looking to bring back the historically producing Empire Mine in Idaho, USA, back into production.

Ryan is a geologist by trade and a wealth of experience in mining and mineral exploration for base and precious metals within the region so is poised to develop this into a huge and profitable mine. KEY TAKEAWAYS The technology to process copper oxide is a fairly new technology, developed over the last thirty to forty years. Mining is close to the hearts of Idaho's communities. They understand the economic benefits and the technologies involved, which has equated to a lot of support from the community and vice versa. The Biden administration is behind sweeping reforms in environmental care, which requires a lot of copper, cobalt and other base metals required for electrification. In northern Nevada, lies the heart of gold and silver production in the US. Other larger operations are located to the south, which places Phoenix at the heart of American mining.
