In today’s episode, we're joined by Kevin Das, Senior Consultant at New Frontier Minerals, who sit right at the crossroads of the energy transition and geopolitics, with a portfolio of heavy rare earths and copper project, including their Harts Range project in the Northern Territory, and their copper asset at their Big One project.   We’re going to get Kevin’s overview of the company, its assets, and why heavy rare earths matter. We discuss the company's appointment of GeoDrill Australia and what that means for their Harts Range project as they move toward their maiden drilling program.   We’ll also explore the company's vision, including the path to fast-tracking copper production at Big One, also look at funding strategies across both projects, and most importantly, why investors should be paying attention now KEY TAKEAWAYS New Frontier Minerals has a portfolio focused on two key projects: the Hearts Range heavy rare earth project in the Northern Territory and the Big One copper project in Northwest Queensland Heavy rare earths like dysprosium and terbium are economically superior and strategically important The Big One copper project is considered the company's most advanced asset. New Frontier Minerals has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a neighbouring company, Austral Resources, to explore the possibility of toll-treating their ore at the nearby Mount Kelly processing facility The company is making progress on both projects. They have recently appointed a drilling contractor to begin their maiden drill program at the Hearts Range project BEST MOMENTS "Not all rare earths are created equal, and when you get one rare earth, you get all 15 of your rare earths." "Rare earths have become a bit of a household name." "If you're going to play copper, it's definitely one of the places to be." "If we can get one of those projects to work through a discovery or development, if not both of them, I think there's definitely going to be a rerating and a real value add for all shareholders."

In today’s episode, we're joined by Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex Gold Resources. Under her leadership, Torex has established itself as a leading intermediate gold producer with a strong footprint in Mexico. We’re going to talk about the successful completion of the Media Luna Project, recent acquisitions, Torex’s approach to operating in Mexico, and the company’s impressive share price performance. We’ll also look ahead at what’s next for Torex over the coming 6 to 12 months. KEY TAKEAWAYS Torex Gold successfully funded its large-scale Media Luna project using cash flow from its existing operations, avoiding significant debt or equity raises. This strategy has led to the company now generating substantial free cash flow, which it plans to return to shareholders through buybacks and a sustainable dividend. The company has demonstrated its capability to execute complex projects on schedule and within budget, as seen with the Media Luna build. This expertise is a cornerstone of their strategy for future projects. Torex is diversifying its portfolio beyond its core Morelos Complex through recent acquisitions. They have secured early-stage exploration assets in Mexico and the US, and a new development project, positioning them as a growing multi-asset precious metals producer. Torex places a high value on its corporate culture, which is described as a place where people "willingly give the best they've got every day". This focus on a supportive and purpose-driven environment has helped the company attract and retain top talent, contributing significantly to its impressive share price performance. BEST MOMENTS "We didn't do a stream, we didn't do a royalty, we didn't do an equity raise. We did the hard work." "We take finite mineral resources and turn them into lasting prosperity by positively impacting the lives of the people that we touch." "I think the view is worth the climb there, 'cause that's where real value is created." "We are a company that believes that you can make a lot of money and deliver a lot of value for shareholders, and do good things in the world."

In this episode, we're joined by Kevin Smith, Non-Executive Director at IRIS Metals, an ASX-listed company involved in lithium exploration in the historic Black Hills district of South Dakota. With one of the largest hard-rock lithium landholdings in the U.S., IRIS Metals is positioning itself at the heart of America’s drive for a domestic supply of critical minerals. In our conversation, we’ll explore how IRIS is balancing exploration risk with surging lithium demand, and what sets the company apart in attracting capital and partnerships. We’ll also take an educational lens, discussing the unique challenges of developing projects in the U.S. compared to more traditional mining jurisdictions. Kevin will share his insights on navigating the highs and lows of commodity cycles, advice for juniors aiming to transition from exploration to development, and the broader outlook for lithium and critical minerals KEY TAKEAWAYS The company is strategically positioned to be the first and largest lithium producer in the U.S. by the end of the decade, with a quick path to market due to its brownfields project Iris Metals is focusing on brownfields projects on private ground to minimise exploration risk and expedite the transition from exploration to production The lithium market is currently experiencing a downturn, with prices having dropped significantly from previous highs Iris Metals is actively engaging with investors and the local community, emphasising its commitment to responsible mining practices and economic growth BEST MOMENTS "We think that we can be the first and the largest lithium producer in the U.S. to come online here before the end of the decade." "Lithium is an immature market because it's a product that has not been widely used or adopted in industry like copper, lead, zinc." "We have a unique opportunity set, a captive market in audience in customer base. We're one of the few people that can deliver and execute on that." "The path to production is approximately 18 months from here... we think we have some good government support, some good commercial support from large strategic partners."

In today’s episode, we're joined by Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, a company that has grown into a multi-asset, mid-tier gold producer with a market cap of over two billion dollars. Under Cobus’ leadership, Pan African has built a strong reputation for operational excellence, innovation in tailings retreatment, and a forward-looking approach to sustainability and energy security. We’ll be exploring the company’s journey from its roots to where it is today, its recent move to the Main Board, and its strategy for growth both in South Africa and abroad. We’ll also discuss Pan African’s financial performance, its view on the gold market, and how it envisions the future of mining in southern Africa. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pan African Resources has successfully grown into a multi-asset, mid-tier gold producer with a market cap exceeding $2 billion, primarily through strategic acquisitions and operational excellence. The company has differentiated itself by focusing on tailings retreatment, turning historic waste dumps into profitable operations. This approach not only generates low-cost gold but also addresses environmental liabilities. Pan African is committed to energy security and sustainability, having implemented large-scale solar projects that significantly reduce production costs and emissions. The goal is to source over 50% of energy requirements from renewables in the next few years. The company reported a record year with a 6% increase in gold production and significant earnings growth. It is now fully unhedged, allowing shareholders to benefit from the rising gold prices. BEST MOMENTS "We always say that you're actually turning liabilities into profits. Without the expertise, without the capital, these would only be liabilities." “We were the first South African miner to commission a large-scale solar plant at Evander. It makes financial sense and brings down our cost of production." "The opportunity came across our desk, and the geological merits certainly stacked up. We took almost a year to make an investment decision." "The world seems an uncertain place at this point, and the geopolitical situation is obviously driving gold price."

In this episode, we chat with Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals, who is an exploration company but has since repositioned itself as a tailings processor, an evolution summed up by its strapline: turning waste into gold. In our conversation, Ryan shares how Fulcrum is seizing this opportunity, not only to unlock value from historic mine waste but also to deliver real environmental and ESG benefits through remediation. We’ll explore the company’s projects in Canada, the opportunities and challenges of operating there, its partnership with Extrakt (extract) and their unique processing technology, and where Ryan sees the future of tailings reprocessing, whether as a niche or a mainstream part of the mining industry. Finally, we’ll touch on what milestones investors and industry watchers should be looking out for as Fulcrum builds momentum in this exciting space. KEY TAKEAWAYS The company has partnered with Extract, utilising their cyanide-free processing technology, which has demonstrated high recovery rates and quick leach times, significantly improving the efficiency of tailings reprocessing. Fulcrum's strategy emphasises environmental remediation by reprocessing tailings, which not only recovers valuable minerals but also helps restore local ecosystems that have been affected by historical mining practices. The company has prioritised building relationships with local communities, including First Nations groups, to secure support for its projects and ensure a social license to operate. With increasing demand for critical minerals and a supportive regulatory environment in Canada, Fulcrum sees significant potential for tailings reprocessing to become a mainstream part of the mining industry BEST MOMENTS "We want to get into a production scenario... tailings, it's already mined material and it's sat at surface. We could literally walk onto the property and understand the properties of the asset a lot quicker." "This is real ESG in practice. It's new, innovative technologies... and you don't know what you're finding in those tailings because no one's ever tested those tailings for anything other than gold before." "We're not creating any more practices which are detrimental to the environment, but actually will help restore the environment. I see it as a bit of a no-brainer." "We're entering a really exciting time for Fulcrum... we've got a huge six months ahead of us, really excited, a lot of really important work and milestones that are going on for the company."

In this episode, we chat with Paul Bennett, Managing Director of Medallion Metals, who are on a pathway to transforming the landscape for gold and copper mining in Western Australia with its flagship Ravensthorpe Gold Project. They have been making headlines with a major upgrade at Ravensthorpe, a feasibility study on the horizon, and a transformational deal to acquire the Forrestania operation. We’ll be talking with Paul about how the upgraded resource reshapes the mine plan, the path to a final investment decision, and how existing infrastructure at Forrestania could accelerate the company’s journey to production. KEY TAKEAWAYS Medallion Metals is a pre-production gold and copper producer in Western Australia, with a market capitalization of approximately $230 million and $25 million in cash reserves. The company is focused on advancing its flagship Ravensthorpe Gold Project and aims to produce 70,000 to 80,000 ounces of gold per annum. The recent upgrade of the sulfide resource to nearly one million ounces has reshaped Medallion's development strategy, allowing for a more focused approach on the underground sulfide component A feasibility study is expected to be completed by the end of October, with key work streams including mining study optimisations and metallurgical test work BEST MOMENTS "The Sulfide Development Strategy has been transformational... it’s all about compressing time, compressing capital to get to first production." "We expect that mine life will continue from there... we’ve unlocked the code now and we're getting closer and closer to production." "The cash balance is well and truly funds us through to final investment decision... we’re really well placed in that sense." "We think there's a lot of upside... the deposit's relatively shallowly drilled. It's only drilled to an average depth of 100 metres."

In this episode, we speak to Paul Weibel, CEO of 5E Advanced Materials, the company advancing the Fort Cady boron project in California. We’ll explore Paul’s path into mining and the leadership lessons he’s carried to the C-suite; get a clear update on Fort Cady’s status and key takeaways from the recent Preliminary Feasibility Study; and dig into why boron matters, its market size, the industries driving demand, and what that means for U.S. supply. KEY TAKEAWAYS 5E Advanced Materials focuses on boron extraction from a unique culminate deposit in California, which is the only one of its kind in the U.S. The company has been mining at a pilot scale for 20 months and is preparing for commercial production. Boron is critical for various applications, including glass production, ceramics, and advanced materials like boron carbide used in armour. The market for boron is expected to grow at an average rate of 5-6% annually The company is pursuing project debt financing as a primary means to fund its operations, targeting a $285 million facility from the U.S. Export-Import Bank The U.S. boron supply chain faces challenges due to tariffs and geopolitical dynamics, which have affected pricing and availability BEST MOMENTS "Boron is the fifth element on the periodic table. It has very unique chemical properties... it basically is critical to life as we know it." "This market is growing... on a weighted average basis, that market's growing at about 8%. This diversification is a bit of an insulator to low growth." "There's a ton of upside in this market. It's an oligopoly structure... the second largest producer is not around forever. They have a very defined mine life." "We want to get that agency debt... the USGS critical mineral list is basically the main policy form that gets cheaper agency financing available."

In this episode, we chat to Simon Finnis, Managing Director of McLaren Minerals, a company that’s been making waves in the critical minerals space since its recent listing. McLaren is advancing its titanium project in Western Australia, a region well known for its supportive mining environment. Titanium isn’t always the first mineral that comes to mind in conversations around critical resources, but its applications and strategic importance are growing rapidly. With McLaren positioned right in the middle of that evolution, Simon is here to share insights into the company’s progress, the broader titanium market, and how technology, community engagement, and smart strategy are shaping their journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS While titanium is not often the first mineral associated with critical resources, its applications in industries such as aerospace, medical, and pigments for paints are expanding rapidly, highlighting its strategic significance in the market. McLaren Minerals is advancing a sulphate ilmenite project in Western Australia, with a substantial inferred resource of 280 million tonnes at a grade of 4.8% heavy mineral. The market for sulphate ilmenite has seen a significant price increase, from $75-$85 per ton to $320-$350 per ton, driven by demand from smelters in the Middle East and China, which utilise the product for both titanium and iron production. McLaren is committed to conducting thorough environmental studies and community engagement as part of the permitting process BEST MOMENTS "Titanium metal is light, it's non-corrosive, so it's fantastic for replacement of body parts, but it's also fantastic for aerospace and other applications where you need light, strong metal." "The current market for sulphate ilmenite is between $320 and $350 a ton, so it's a huge change." "If your head grade of your mineral sand is say 6% and you take 25% slimes out, the grade of your ore going into your plant increases." "You've actually just got to do the work. You can't not do the test work that we've done and then expect things to work."

In this episode, we chat with Dave Mitchell and David Van Kleeck of PJKT72, who are transforming the mining industry through blockchain tokenization and redefining resource ownership through blockchain tokenization. We’re diving into a conversation at the intersection of blockchain and the natural world where two pioneers are aiming to reshape how we value, protect, and access the planet’s raw materials. We discuss: What inspired the creation of MetWave — and how it’s targeting real-world problems in mining and energy. The difference between MetWave Green and MetWave Black — and how this dual-token model could transform environmental protection and investment. What it really means to tokenize coal in situ — and why that’s fundamentally different from traditional resource ownership. And whether this model could extend to other critical materials like lithium, rare earths, or even natural gas. KEY TAKEAWAYS The MetWave Green token provides a mechanism for environmental protection by allowing stakeholders to invest in keeping coal in the ground The use of blockchain technology and smart contracts enables verifiable and instantaneous transactions, improving traceability and efficiency in the coal supply chain While the current focus is on coal, the tokenisation model has the potential to be applied to other natural resources, such as graphite, graphene, and possibly rare earth elements BEST MOMENTS "The green token is an opportunity to leave the coal in place, providing a voice that hasn't existed before in how carbon is emitted into the atmosphere." "By tokenising it, what it's doing is opening up opportunities that had not been available to both public and private investors." "The smart contracts in the blockchain would enforce that, providing a transparent, permanent record of the transactions that are done."

In this episode, we chat with Artem Volynets, Founder, Chairman and CEO of ACG Metals Ltd whose vision is to consolidate the copper industry through a series of roll-up acquisitions targeting copper producers with best-in-class environmental, social, and governance (ESG) characteristics. Artem’s career spans major leadership roles across the international mining sector, from steering large-scale M&A to developing assets in complex jurisdictions. Under his leadership, ACG Metals has been building a portfolio that blends strategic acquisitions with disciplined project execution. In this conversation, we’ll dig into how Artem navigates competitive copper acquisitions without overpaying, approaches technical challenges with fresh thinking, and adapts plans based on community input. We’ll also hear his take on jurisdictional surprises, the realities of operating in high-inflation environments, and the strategic moves he believes will set ACG Metals apart in the years ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS ACG Metals is a relatively new player in the mining sector, having achieved substantial milestones within its first year ACG Metals differentiates itself in a competitive market by avoiding traditional auction processes and leveraging a strong network for deal sourcing. The company focuses on creating value through innovative transaction structures that include cash, shares, and milestone payments, fostering partnerships with sellers. ACG Metals'  proactive approach has helped the company integrate into the local fabric, contributing to job creation and local budgets, which mitigates potential conflicts. BEST MOMENTS "We don't get our investment ideas from investment banks. We have a relatively large network of connections where we can source the deal ideas."  "I like to think of mining assets as a big cash printing machine, and that gets me excited as a CEO of a public company."  "The biggest risk in Turkey is to your waistline. The food is too good. Otherwise, I don't see any other operating risks."

In this episode, we chat with Michael Zolotov, co-founder and CTO of Razor Labs, who are a leading mining technology provider that delivers advanced predictive maintenance with its flagship product, DataMind AI™️. Razor Labs’ AI  Sensor Fusion technology provides real-time condition monitoring, root cause analysis, and prescriptive actions to prevent failures before they happen. Michael’s a serial entrepreneur, an expert in AI, radar, and advanced analytics. He’s built and led companies through IPOs and acquisitions, and helped scale Razor Labs globally. Most importantly, he pioneered AI Sensor fusion in mining and he’s on the podcast today to discuss Razor Labs’ origins, how DataMind AI uses Sensor Fusion to cut costly mining downtime through real-time monitoring, examples of fast ROI, its impact on maintenance practices, the transition to trusted AI systems, and future directions for AI in mining. KEY TAKEAWAYS Unplanned downtime in mining can lead to significant financial losses, often amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars per failure.  The use of sensor fusion, akin to how doctors diagnose illnesses using multiple data sources, allows DataMind AI to identify failures that traditional sensors might miss.  Clients have reported rapid returns on investment, with some achieving full payback within three months of implementing DataMind AI. This is largely due to the prevention of costly failures and reduced maintenance expenses. The transition to AI-driven systems in mining requires building trust among teams. DataMind AI provides evidence-based diagnostics, allowing maintenance teams to understand the rationale behind recommendations BEST MOMENTS "We identified the mining sector as a very high potential for AI disruption... essentially like an automated doctor for machines."  "The uniqueness here is that it was a bootstrap company, and we actually reinvested the profits into the R&D of that product."  "Traditional AI systems are black box... you cannot trust the model."  "By monitoring continuously, you make sure that no matter whether it's deteriorating over three weeks or two weeks, you will be able to capture it."

In this episode, we have a returning guest who appeared back in Jan 2023 (Episode 307). Stefan Bernstein, CEO of GreenRoc Mining, a company focused on unlocking critical mineral resources in Greenland, with a particular spotlight on graphite at the Amitsoq project in South Greenland. We discuss the upcoming bulk sample program at the Amitsoq graphite project, progress on the Environmental Impact Assessment, and what’s next for the AAM pilot plant. Stefan also shares an update on their Exploitation Licence application, community engagement in South Greenland, and his perspective on the region’s evolving political landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS Greenroc Mining, led by CEO Stefan, is dedicated to unlocking critical mineral resources in Greenland, particularly focusing on the Amitsoq Graphite Project A bulk sample collection is scheduled to take place soon, which will provide essential data for the pre-feasibility study and supply material for a pilot plant Ongoing baseline studies are crucial for obtaining a mining permit. The company is nearing completion of this year's studies, which are necessary to demonstrate background environmental conditions before mining operations commence. Greenroc is actively engaging with local communities and government entities in southern Greenland, fostering positive relationships and interest in the project BEST MOMENTS "We have defined a very large resource at Emitsog. It's a very rich deposit. We have more than 23 million tons of graphite or more than 20% graphite."  "The reason we're collecting this bulk sample is really twofold. It's going to provide us with a lot of useful information about the crushing, grinding, flotation stages."  "There's definitely a very positive attitude to the minerals industry in general and to the Amitok project specifically."  "The exploitation license is really the political approval of the project. Then comes the mining permit, but that's more technical."

In this episode, we chat with Patrick Thévoz, the co-founder and CEO of Flyability, and Michael Blake is the Product Manager at the company, who are a Swiss company dedicated to making the world's infrastructure safer and more efficient through innovative drone technology. The company has developed cutting-edge solutions that enable safe and efficient data collection in inaccessible and dangerous environments, serving over 1500 customers worldwide. In today’s episode, we dive into the cutting-edge world of drone technology in mining with the team from Flyability. We’re joined by Patrick and Mike, who bring technical depth and real-world experience to the table. From the capabilities and limitations of Flyability’s Elios 3 drone to its growing adoption across mines worldwide, we unpack how this tech is transforming underground inspections. We’ll explore what it's like to deploy the drone on-site, the kind of data it delivers, and how it fits into existing mining workflows. Plus, we tackle the bigger picture of what drives mines to adopt these solutions, and where this technology is heading next, including the role of AI and autonomy in mining’s digital future. KEY TAKEAWAYS The use of drones in mining significantly enhances safety by reducing the need for human inspections in dangerous areas.  The Elios 3 drone is equipped with various sensors, including LiDAR, thermal cameras, and ultrasonic thickness sensors, allowing for comprehensive data collection. It can create high-density point clouds and perform detailed inspections, which are crucial for mining operations. Flyability's technology is already being utilised by numerous mining companies worldwide, with a significant presence in regions like Canada, South Africa, and Latin America BEST MOMENTS "We started the business as a pure robotics play, pure hardware play, and gradually we started adding more and more sensors on board the machine." "The drone itself takes around five minutes to set up. It's very, very fast." "We estimate we're probably 1% of what could be done with this technology that is done currently. So, you know, growth, growth, growth."

In this episode we chat to Dan Myerson, Executive Chairman and CEO of Foran Mining, a company at the forefront of the copper revolution and one of the only single-asset copper developers actively building a mine anywhere in the world.In this episode, we dig into why Foran remains undervalued despite its remarkable progress at the McIlvenna Bay project — now nearing 50% completion and on track for commercial production by mid-2026. Dan shares insights on market sentiment toward pre-production copper companies, the strategic importance of Foran’s Saskatchewan jurisdiction, and why now might be a pivotal moment for investors to take a closer look. We also explore what lies beyond McIlvenna Bay, and how Foran is positioning itself in a copper market grappling with supply constraints and long-term demand growth. Stay tuned as we unpack the milestones, the macro trends, and the big vision driving one of Canada's most exciting copper stories. KEY TAKEAWAYS Despite its achievements, Foran Mining is perceived as undervalued in the market. The disconnect between perceived and actual risk is a factor, suggesting that the company's fundamentals do not align with its current valuation. Saskatchewan is recognised as one of the best mining jurisdictions globally, with a supportive government and low after-tax cash costs Beyond McIlvenny Bay, Foran Mining has significant exploration potential with discoveries like the Tesla and Bridge zones. These areas could lead to increased production capacity  With the company positioned at a critical juncture before production, there is a strong argument for investment. BEST MOMENTS "We are the only single asset company building an actual greenfield copper mine in the world today, which when you actually say that out loud is quite amazing." "The actual risk versus the perceived risk is very different... the perceived risk that's still involved is much higher than the actual risk." "The valuation where it's at is the cheapest it's ever been in its history... now is the best time that you could ever have to buy the stock." "Saskatchewan is one of the best jurisdictions in the world... very pragmatic and practical government. I'd say that's the best thing."

In this episode, we chat with Jeremy Gray, a seasoned CEO and visionary leader at the helm of multiple high-impact ventures, including Pilar Gold, Pure Tungsten, Tucano Gold, and Gold Road. With decades of experience navigating the complex world of mining finance, exploration, and operational leadership, Jeremy has earned a reputation for revitalizing assets, unlocking value, and delivering sustainable growth in some of the world's most resource-rich and challenging regions. From South America to Asia and beyond, he’s not just leading companies; he's reshaping the narrative around modern mining, strategic metals, and responsible resource development. Jeremy talks about how he built a multi-company gold portfolio and made a strategic leap into tungsten, why he chose to keep all the companies separate rather than under one umbrella, the geopolitical and regulatory risks involved in operating across countries like Brazil and beyond, and how investor sentiment is evolving around gold and strategic minerals in today’s volatile economy. KEY TAKEAWAYS The decision to keep multiple mining ventures separate rather than consolidating them under one umbrella was driven by the need for independent financing Brazil is viewed as a favourable mining jurisdiction due to its supportive environment for second chances, while regions like Australia and Africa are considered too competitive or risky Investor attitudes towards gold and tungsten are heavily influenced by market prices. A rising gold price can lead to increased investor interest There is a strong belief that exploration is often a waste of resources, with a preference for acquiring assets that are already producing or have a clear path to production BEST MOMENTS "We basically specialise in buying big secondhand gold mines and now tungsten mine... it hasn't been easy, but lots of challenges."  "If you have run into problems when you're public, they will just wipe you out."  "We only buy existing capacity, we don't build... it's a different game altogether."  "Everything is driven by the price... when the gold price sells off 100 bucks in an afternoon, I know my phone won't ring."

In this episode, we chat with Greg Lang, President and CEO of NOVAGOLD, who are a well-financed precious metals company focused on the development of its 60% owned, federally permitted Donlin Gold project in Alaska. Greg brings a wealth of experience, having held senior leadership roles at some of the world’s largest mining companies, including Barrick Gold. Today, we explore his journey to the helm of NOVAGOLD and delve into what makes the company’s vision distinct in today’s mining landscape. We’ll discuss pivotal moments like Barrick’s exit from Donlin, the strategic role of Paulson Advisers LLC, and how NOVAGOLD is navigating the project's future—from ESG commitments and permitting milestones to community partnerships and long-term economic development in Alaska. KEY TAKEAWAYS NOVAGOLD is primarily focused on the development of the Donlin Gold project in Alaska, which is recognised as one of the largest and highest-grade undeveloped gold deposits globally The company has established strong partnerships with local Native corporations, such as Callister Corporation and the Casco Wind Corporation NOVAGOLD has made significant strides in the permitting process, having completed federal permitting and received a record of decision from the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Land Management NOVAGOLD emphasises sustainability and community engagement as foundational elements of its operations, actively involving local communities BEST MOMENTS "I was always fascinated by the scale of the asset. You know, I've been around a lot of gold mines that ultimately got to 40 million ounces, but none of them ever started that big." "Barrick's decision to divest Donlin marked a major turning point... they had other competing priorities, and now with Paulson and NOVAGOLD, we are totally aligned on taking this project forward." "Donlin is located in a very impoverished part of the state of Alaska... there's no economic engine on the horizon that will create the kind of employment that Donlin will." "Sustainability is increasing, pivotal in the mining sector" VALUABLE RESOURCES Mail:        rob@mining-international.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ X:              https://twitter.com/MiningRobTyson YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DigDeepTheMiningPodcast  Web:        http://www.mining-international.org GUEST SOCIALS  https://novagold.com/ https://x.com/novagold https://www.facebook.com/NovaGold https://www.linkedin.com/company/novagold/ CONTACT METHOD rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ Podcast Description 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.

In the episode, we chat with Dr Pradeep Kumar Jain, who was the Chief Mineral Economist for the Ministry of Mines, Government of India, and has recently retired. With over 42 years of experience in mineral economics, geology, and mining legislation, he has been deeply involved in shaping India's mineral policy, pricing mechanisms, and strategic resource planning. He talks about critical factors for successful mine planning, adoption of new technology, India as a mining jurisdiction, and how they are developing their mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Since 2015, India's mineral concession grants have shifted from a first-come, first-served basis to an auction model, enhancing transparency, increasing state revenue, and expediting the process of granting mining rights. India is rich in a variety of minerals, including major, minor, critical, and strategic minerals. Key states like Goa, Jharkhand, and Odisha are known for specific minerals, contributing to a robust mining landscape. The integration of advanced technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, and drone surveys is transforming mining operations in India, improving decision-making, efficiency, and regulatory transparency. The establishment of the District Mineral Foundation aims to ensure that mining activities contribute positively to local communities and the environment, promoting sustainable and inclusive development. BEST MOMENTS "After 2015, the grant of the concession in an auction mode... it is becoming a transparent procedure for grant of the mineral concession."  "We have about 25 minerals available... all type of the mineral right from the bulk mineral to precious mineral."  "This auction model has made drastic changes... it is making a healthy competition but little bit there is some drawback also."  "India is a very good platform for international trade, as well as inviting the international experts to come and venture into the mining sector in India."

In this episode, we chat with Alex Passmore, CEO of New Murchison Gold, who are an ASX listed mineral exploration and development company that holds a substantial package of tenements in the prolific Murchison goldfield near Meekatharra in Western Australia. Alex is a geologist by background but spent much of his career on the finance side of the industry. He is an experienced corporate executive and has a number of company directorships under him, and in this episode, he gives us an overview of Murchison Gold, an update on the operation, and views on finance in the industry and in the junior space and more. KEY TAKEAWAYS New Murchison Gold is a gold mining company located in the Murchison district of Western Australia, focusing on gold exploration and development. The company has a significant package of tenements and has recently shifted its focus solely to gold assets. The company has successfully commenced mining operations at the Crown Prince site, achieving its first blast on June 30 and completing four blasts by mid-July.  New Murchison Gold has established a beneficial relationship with West Gold Resources, which allows them to sell their ore to West Gold's Bluebird mill.  There is significant upside potential in the Crown Prince ore body, with expectations of underground extensions that could enhance production.  BEST MOMENTS "We’ve managed to unlock significant value by discovering the Crown Prince ore body, which underpinned a big uplift in resources and the publication of an ore reserve earlier this year." "We are selling our ore and get paid 83% of the value of the gold that's in that ore to West Gold Resources, which has a plant 36 kilometres away." "We are confident in the ore body and the grades as we've put out publicly in the production profile." "Crown Prince will be producing around 60,000 ounces annually, and if we can bring on the other two, we start to head towards that magic 100,000-ounce production per annum rate."
