Money of Mine

This is the story of how Evolution Mining rose from a junior with a busted project to be one of Australia’s best business success stories, all in under 15 years. We trace the journey back to the Sino Gold days, uncovering how Jake Klein and his team built China’s largest foreign gold miner, then sold it all and started again. From the deals that defined Evolution to the close calls along the way, we unpack how one of the country’s great mining stories came together. ……………      TIMESTAMPS  (00:00) Introduction (03:41) The China Years – Jake Klein and Nick Curtis (07:30) Sino Gold – Building a Chinese Gold Miner (14:19) Conquest Mining – The Foundation (31:44) The Creation of Evolution Mining – 2011 Merger (37:47) Buying Mungari from La Mancha(48:05) Cowal Acquisition from Barrick (1:06:56) Initial "economic interest" in Ernest Henry (1:31:00) Red Lake Acquisition (1:35:27) Consolidating Ernest Henry (1:38:55) Northparkes (1:41:22) Evolution’s Deal-Making Philosophy (2:02:07) Reflections and Future Outlook ……………  Join 14k+ subscribers to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Director’s Special⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: one daily email with all the news that matters in mining …………… PARTNERS Thank you to the mining services businesses that make this content possible: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sandvik Ground Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – The only ground support you’ll ever need ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Focus by Marketech⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – All your mining news and market needs in one powerful platform | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠10-day free trial⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ …………… FOLLOW & CONNECT • YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MoneyofMine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Twitter / X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@moneyofminepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Travis Ricciardo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TRAVmoneyofmine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Jonas Dorling: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@JDmoneyofmine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Email us Word on the Decline: gc@moneyofmine.com …………… JOIN THE GROUP CHAT Note: the Messenger group chat has been sunset by Facebook.

In today’s episode, we’re sharing highlights from 3 great conversations we recorded on air at IMARC. Our guests are David Awram, co-founder of the recently acquired Sandstorm Royalties, Randy Smallwood, CEO of the US$45B Wheaton Precious Metals, and Jay Martin, host of the fantastic Jay Martin show. Across the conversations we covered a plethora of topics, including what the best business model in mining is, how to build a great royalty business, why silver is outperforming, commodities that are undervalued and what the big trends investors need to focus on, just to mention a few.This was recorded on 22 October 2025.

In today’s episode we’re sharing our discussion with resource investor Jeff Phillips. Jeff has near on 30 years’ experience speculating in the natural resource business, and along the way he’s crafted a simple and effective approach. It all comes down to people and share structure. In our conversation we explore why backing the right people, who often have a track record of success, and are aligned with you, as well as ensuring the company structure is right, is his method of unlocking value. ……………      TIMESTAMPS  (00:00) – Opening Take: Jeff’s most controversial view — why stocks should have a one-year hold period.(03:50) – Australia vs. North America: How quickly insiders can sell and what it means for market discipline.(04:30) – Jeff’s Investing Framework: Patience, conviction, and holding positions for 2–3 years at a time.(10:10) – Alignment & Incentives: How Jeff analyzes options, performance rights, and insider ownership.(13:20) – The People Factor: Why management quality drives bull markets — and how euphoria fades fast.(16:50) – Position Building: How Jeff spreads bets across his 12 core names in different commodities.(21:20) – Corporate Outcomes: Selling vs. growing — how Jeff thinks about exits and company maturity.(27:40) – The Playbook: Jeff’s investing model from the 1990s bull run through to today’s cycle.(29:00) – The Oil & Gas Story: How one major energy play shaped his investing philosophy.(32:20) – Final Thoughts: Lessons on discipline, psychology, and long-term conviction.(33:10) – Outro & Sponsors: Partner shout-outs and disclaimers.……………  Join 14k+ subscribers to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Director’s Special⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: one daily email with all the news that matters in mining …………… PARTNERS Thank you to the mining services businesses that make this content possible: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sandvik Ground Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – The only ground support you’ll ever need ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Focus by Marketech⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – All your mining news and market needs in one powerful platform | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠10-day free trial⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IMARC 2025 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠– Sydney, October 21st to 23rd.

Ferg Cullen (aka Trader Ferg) joins us for a wide-angle look at the market’s many dynamics front of mind this week. We unpack BHP’s quiet shift to RMB settlement, the end of dollar dominance, and what it means for commodities. From platinum and uranium to oil and tin, we dive into the real assets leading this cycle, the mania across uranium ETFs, and why energy services might be the next big trade.Ferg shares why he’s still bullish on physical assets like gold, silver, platinum, and tin, even as market FOMO and speculative fever run rampant.If you want honest, nuanced insights on commodities, currency, and the future of real assets, this episode is for you.Companies mentioned:BHP, VALE, FMG, RIO, ZIM, SPD, THS.L, IMP.J, SBSW, VALT.L, MMI, CAY, BML, S32, UEC, UUUU, LEU, URA, GMKN.ME, NVDA, BP.L, SHEL.L Follow Trader Ferg on Substack hereRecorded on October 15, 2025. ……………      TIMESTAMPS  (00:00) - Introduction(03:04) - Market FOMO and Portfolios(06:07) - BHP’s China Settlement(10:51) - Asian Growth and Currency Implications(17:21) - Power Dynamics Between Miners and China(27:01) - Australian Energy Market Opportunities(32:24) - Physical Commodities(43:24) - Silver(48:15) - Energy Sector Investment Opportunities(54:09) - Oil Services and Offshore Drilling(58:09) - European Energy Services Companies(1:02:00) - Tin Market(1:08:00) - Closing Remarks and Disclaimers……………  Join 14k+ subscribers to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Director’s Special⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: one daily email with all the news that matters in mining …………… PARTNERS Thank you to the mining services businesses that make this content possible: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sandvik Ground Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – The only ground support you’ll ever need ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Focus by Marketech⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – All your mining news and market needs in one powerful platform | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠10-day free trial⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IMARC 2025 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠– Sydney, October 21st to 23rd.

We continue our search for the world’s best natural-resource investors with today’s guest, Rob Mullin. Rob is the Founder and CIO of Marathon Resource Advisors, a long-short fund that has compounded at extraordinary rates by doing what few others still do: buying real cash flow, not stories. In this wide-ranging chat, Rob explains why gold stocks remain “super cheap” despite their strong run, why he’s finding his best ideas in overlooked European energy producers, and how he frames risk through volatility rather than avoiding it. We dig into the structural forces reshaping the market, from the dominance of pod shops and passive flows to the slow return of generalist investors to resources. Rob also lays out why he believes tangible assets are set to outperform financial abstractions for years to come. Along the way, he contrasts the speculative vibe economy of AI and crypto with the grounded reality of mining and energy cash flows, and why this cycle could belong to the real economy again.

We had the privilege of sitting down with legendary explorationist Ed Eshuys, widely credited with the Plutonic, Bronzewing and Jundee gold discoveries. Ed takes us inside the second-last hole that lit up Bronzewing, how CSIRO’s laterite science helped crack Plutonic, why he drills diamond holes early to capture the third dimension, and the capital-strategy mindset that separates luck from repeatable success. We also dig into St Barbara, Sons of Gwalia, the “surface vs shaft” decision, and the De Grey/Hemi sliding-doors moment (don’t stop your aircore 1–2 metres short!).

In this episode, we sit down with Le Shrub for a wide-ranging conversation on today’s markets - what he calls the Golden Age of Grift. From currency debasement to the rolling Ponzi cycle, Shrub lays out why valuation no longer drives markets, why real assets matter more than ever, and how to survive when both sides of the barbell can break.    We cover:  • Why currency debasement is now a permanent feature, not a bug  • The barbell approach to portfolio construction in an era of grift  • Platinum, tin and the case for overlooked critical metals  • Why Brazil could be the real asset trade of the decade  • Shrub’s takes on Tesla, Nvidia, MicroStrategy and the Ponzi rotations  • Memes, markets and making blood sacrifices to the market gods  Whether you’re a gold bug, a tin bull, or just curious about how to navigate a world of grift, Shrub brings his trademark mix of insight, parody and hard market truths.    Subscribe to Le Shrub’s articles: https://www.shrubstack.com/ and follow him on X: https://x.com/agnostoxxx  Companies mentioned: GLEN.L, AAL.L, MP.NY, NAK.NY, NDM.TO, MLX, AFM.V, VALE, IMP.JO, SBSW, TSLA, NVDA, MSTR, IONQ, QUBT, RGTI, OPTT.   This interview was recorded on 19.9.2025.  ....……… TIMESTAMPS (0:00) - Intro(4:00) - The Golden Age of Grift(9:10) - Shrubs Strategy Right Now(21:10) - Run up in Ethereum, Commodities, Etc(26:40) - What Metals are up Next(33:50) - Canada and the United States Relationship(35:40) - What Would a Resolution Between Russia and Ukraine Do for the Markets(39:30) - Why Brazil Would be a Massive Beneficiary of Debasement(54:20) - Thoughts on Palladium(1:02:30) - Rolling Ponzi Thesis(1:06:30) - Do Valuations Matter?(1:12:30) - Final Thoughts …………… Join 14k+ subscribers to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Director’s Special⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: one daily email with all the news that matters in mining …………… PARTNERS Thank you to the mining services businesses that make this content possible: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sandvik Ground Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – The only ground support you’ll ever need ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Focus by Marketech⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – All your mining news and market needs in one powerful platform | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠10-day free trial⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IMARC 2025 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠– Sydney, October 21st to 23rd.

We sat down with Peter Prendiville and Chris Wiener, the people behind Norfolk Capital Management. Norfolk is one of the newest resource funds on the block. While being new, Norfolk’s returns have been spectacular since the fund kicked off, buoyed by a sound investment process and enviable exploration success.   Pete and Chris shared this process through the conversation and explored the big winners they have had to date: WA1; Q2 Metals; Adriatic; New World; Almonty and Commerce Resources. And we spoke about the ideas that didn’t go to plan – being too early in beaten up commodities in names hampered by debt.   Norfolk is currently positioned more defensively than historically, with the majority of their capital in cash. Naturally, the macro outlook behind this was something we had to talk about too.   To wrap things up, we did an overrated-underrated segment. And we also spoke about our top longs and shorts we shared over a beer in November last year.   This was recorded on 15th September 2025.   Stocks mentioned in the episode include: WA1.ax AII.ax QTWO.v ADT.ax NWC.ax MAC.ax FFM.ax GLEN.l CCE.v MRZ.ax MIN.ax MTM.ax IPX.ax PNR.ax YRL.ax BOE.ax TRE.ax JRV.ax   Connect with Peter Prendiville on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-prendiville-53a76998/   Connect with Chris Wiener on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-wiener-22874a4a/    …………… TIMESTAMPS (00:00) Intro and backgrounds(10:00) Portfolio composition(12:20) Big wins: Almonty(20:40) Picking WA1 pre-discovery(24:00) How important management is(29:40) NWC, MAC, Adriatic(38:00) GLEN, FFM(44:00) What to avoid(48:50) Outlook ahead(1:07:00) Overrated/Underrated(1:17:00) Predictions from last year: were we right or wrong …………… Join 14k+ subscribers to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Director’s Special⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: one daily email with all the news that matters in mining …………… PARTNERS Thank you to the mining services businesses that make this content possible: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sandvik Ground Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – The only ground support you’ll ever need ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Focus by Marketech⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – All your mining news and market needs in one powerful platform | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠10-day free trial⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠IMARC 2025 ⁠⁠⁠– Sydney, October 21st to 23rd.
