    In this episode we chat to Cedric Simonet, Chief Executive Officer at Altona Rare Earths, who are a resource exploration and development company focused on Rare Earths in Africa. Listed on the LSE, they are currently developing the Monte Muambe Rare Earths project in Mozambique.

    Cedric is a PhD geologist with over 25 years’ experience in Africa and France managing exploration, development and production projects in the mining and energy industries. He has worked in many jurisdictions in Africa across many commodities and gives us an overview of Altona Rare Earths and what they are looking to achieve in Mozambique and the importance of rare earths in the modern age.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Altona Rare Earths is a resource exploration and development company focused on rare earths in Africa. They are currently listed on the London Stock Exchange and are developing the Monte Mouambé Rare Earths project in Mozambique.
    • The Monte Mouambé project is a rare earth deposit, with two significant ore bodies identified so far. The high-grade ore has an average of 2.5% total rare earth oxide (TiO), making it suitable for short-term development.
    • The company recently moved from the Aquis Stock Exchange to the main market of the London Stock Exchange to support its growth and attract long-term investors who are familiar with rare earth projects.
    • Rare earth elements have a wide range of uses, including in screens, magnets, wind turbines, and electric vehicles. The market for rare earths is expected to increase fivefold by 2040, driven by the world's transition to green energy.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Rare earths are essential to our life. They are essential to the decarbonisation of our energy sources. The fundamentals are solid, including on the long term."

    "The market for rare earth is expected to increase fivefold by 2040. And this is due mostly to the world's transition to green energy, which is not going anywhere."

    "We are not going to waste time trying to drill, drill, drill to increase our resource statement to hundreds of millions of tons. We know we don't need this. We need to focus on developments."

    "If African governments can remove the hurdles that go into the way of doing value addition, it will make it a lot easier. We should look into it. And this is what we are doing at Altona."

    Prashant Chintawar On The Battery Industry

    Prashant Chintawar On The Battery Industry

    In this episode we chat to Prashant Chintawar, MD & CEO, Volt Resources who are a critical minerals and battery materials company listed on the ASX and are an established graphite producer with an operating mine in Ukraine and a developer of wholly owned Bunyu Project in Tanzania - one of the largest graphite deposits in the world. Volt acquired interest in three gold projects in Guinea, West Africa and three license applications in Serbia, that are prospective for lithium-borate mineralization.

    PC is an entrepreneurial global business leader, with a track record of creation and scaling up of new specialty material and battery material businesses, growing existing chemical businesses, product profit and loss management, negotiating and structuring deals and industrialization and tells us more about the company, the projects they are involved in and more around the battery industry.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • As a business stalwart, Prashant has not just founded them, but also grown them, and therefore can speak as both founder and manager.
    • Mining in Ukraine is a definitely challenging due to the geopolitical climate. The power is unreliable, for instance, plus the supply chain is difficult.
    • True leaders can surmount any barriers to action and provide solutions that allow others to fulfil their potential.
    • It's critical to have a team with real world experience - those who have built and sold products. This allows you to be far more agile in the sector.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'I have created businesses. We have scaled up the businesses'

    'Our investors, shareholders and stakeholders can expect continuing updates'

    'The second pillar is our graphite project in Tanzania'

    Shirley Hayes On The Challenges For Women In The Mining Space

    Shirley Hayes On The Challenges For Women In The Mining Space

    In this episode we chat to Shirley Hayes, who is the founder of SHiP Copper Mines, a copper mining and development company based in the Northern Cape Province in South Africa and is a 95% subsidiary of Copper 360.

    Shirley is a mining entrepreneur who extensive experience in surface mining and blasting and has also run her own quarrying business in the early days. Seeking and identifying alternative commodities, she started SHiP Copper Mines focusing on the concordia tenement covering 36K hectares of the most prospective copper targets in the area. She shares her story from starting in administration to now running a listed mining company and the challenges she overcome as a female mining entrepreneur.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The best rewards often come from the toughest situations. When we overcome hardships, the empowerment is multiplied.
    • When you are starting out, you will always be in negotiation mode. Much can be learned from this period, in which you are constantly finding new ways to market yourself.
    • Being a mining entrepreneur comes with a unique set of challenges, which are exacerbated even more by our gender. Overcoming prejudice as a woman is a factor that unfortunately wastes everyone's time.
    • Being a mentor to someone can be precarious, as each person's journey is different and will involve different challenges. The best way is to study someone, rather than ask them to tell you what to do.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'Those were the best years of my life'

    'You are always negotiating from the point of being the weaker one'

    'There are always two sides to the coin'

    'Rather than think I needed to do better, I needed to be better'

    Mental Health In Mining - with Dan Greco

    Mental Health In Mining - with Dan Greco

    In this episode we chat to Dan Greco, an executive performance coach who works with many people in the mining sector around performance, personal issues and challenges they face within our industry plus others. He previously worked in a catering as chef, working on mining sites remotely and on FIFO rosters so is experienced and understands what those conditions and environments are like

    Dan responded to my LinkedIn post about getting a guest to come on to the podcast to talk about metal health issues with FIFO lifestyles and it’s a common theme and often spoken about in his work so it would be good to share some knowledge and give some tips to help improve anyone working on a FIFO basis or even working remotely.

    He talks about common practices any FIFO worker should follow to reduce further confrontations at home and what things you should work on to improve your mental health.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • No matter which job you do, there can always be a sense of routine and drudgery, which can contribute to a decline in mental wellbeing.
    • The physical aspect of wellbeing contributes heavily to the wellbeing of our mind. If we take care of the body, the mind will benefit.
    • We tend to deal with big things in our mind quite easily. It's the smaller things that niggle and nag at our minds which make days worse.
    • Life keeps moving, no matter where you are. It's pointless to worry about things that are far away. Control the things you can, and leave the rest to others.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'I experience what it was really like to bear the brunt of how harsh it can be'

    'You can become conditioned'

    'It's about living a communal life. It's not a normal life'

    'There's a level of patience that we must develop'

    Ignacio Salazar On Mining in Spain

    Ignacio Salazar On Mining in Spain

    In this episode we chat to Ignacio Salazar, CEO of Highfield Resources, who are an ASX listed potash company which focuses on the construction of its flagship low cost, low capex Muga Project in Spain which is fully permitted.

    Ignacio has a background in economics and law and has worked in the Oil & Gas industry with Shell before moving over to the mining industry back in 2009. At the helm of Highfield Resources, Ignacio tells us more about the company, its journey and what they are looking to achieve plus also an update on what is happening in the Spanish mining industry.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Ignacio specialises in mining in Spain, but his experience has seen him oversee projects around the world, allowing him a broad perspective and unrivalled skill set in the mining sector.
    • The similarities between oil and gas, and mining, are many as they both require upfront investment and both explore the planet for the resources on offer. Regionality matters and so do the size of the players.
    • Highfield is an ASX listed company, and prefers to focus on one project in Spain - two autonomous operations.
    • Potash and its resultant fertiliser uses are in great demand around the world, even though it may not be as well known as other mined materials.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'I moved quickly to upstream oil and gas'

    'Fertiliser is a very key commodity'

    'The permitting is all behind us'

    'We are shovel-ready!'

    Marna Cloete On Ivanhoe Mines and Business Growth

    Marna Cloete On Ivanhoe Mines and Business Growth

    In this episode we chat to Marna Cloete, President of Ivanhoe Mines, a leading Canadian mining company committed to becoming a global leader in the supply of critical resources required to transition our world to a low-carbon, renewable future. Ivanhoe is focused on developing and expanding its four principal mining and exploration projects in Southern Africa. The development of the Kamoa-Kakula copper mining complex in the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC), the Platreef palladium-rhodium-platinum-nickel-copper-gold discovery in South Africa, the extensive redevelopment and upgrading of the historic Kipushi zinc-copper-germanium-silver mine, also in the Democratic Republic of Congo and exploration on the Western Foreland, near Kamoa-Kakula.

    Marna Cloete is a registered Chartered Accountant and holds a Master’s Degree in Taxation from the University of Pretoria.  She joined Ivanhoe back in 2006 and has played an instrumental role as part in Ivanhoe’s leadership team, achieving a number of strategic milestones and continues to go from strength to strength. Marna shares her journey from starting with the company with only 10 employees to now over 18,000 and why Ivanhoe is leading the way in the supply of much needed critical resources. She shares her wisdom and advice for females within the mining industry and what’s its like working  and learning from Robert Friedland.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Ivanhoe employs over 18,000 people across the organisation, and have all contributed to the slow formation of this mighty mining concern.
    • One of the most important elements of Ivanhoe is the culture, that was established at the very outset some 26 years ago, when the team was made up of just ten people. Growing slowly has allowed their personal values and culture to grow with the company.
    • Ivanhoe has piloted an electric fleet, where issues with efficiency were noted. Work has been done to remedy these challenges, and soon they hope to transition entirely to an electric fleet.
    • Senior executives cannot hope to operate from afar. They need to engage with their workforce and operate on the ground alongside them.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I think that I've been with Ivanhoe for 17 years'

    'We were focussed on ensuring that we were supplying the next great copper supply'

    'We've always tried to keep our structures flat and not too bureaucratic'

    'It's important for partnerships to create value'

    Benedikt Sobotka On The Green Energy Transition Space

    Benedikt Sobotka On The Green Energy Transition Space

    In our 350th episode we talk with Benedikt Sobotka, CEO of Eurasian Resources Group (ERG), one of the world's leading and most diversified companies in mining and processing of natural resources, with fully integrated energy, transportation and marketing operations. The Group is represented in 16 countries of the world on four continents and is one of the largest employers in the industry.

    Benedikt has extensive experience in the mining and energy sectors, holding various management & executive positions some of the leading companies in the world. He is also the co-chair of the Global Battery Alliance (GBA), where ERG is a Founding Member and has developed a close partnership with the World Economic Forum, taking an active role in many industry groups and wider initiatives. We discuss some of the important issues and topics in our industry and how ERG deals with these challenges in the EGG and green energy transition space.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Mining's public facing side has changed dramatically in the last ten years. It has gone from being a perceived shady sector, into one that provides hope and progress for future generations and their technologies.
    • New technologies such as AI and geospatial reconnaissance are helping to make mining safer and more efficient, as well as more productive.
    • The total mining sector spends somewhere in the regions of 150 billion dollars per year on production, which is a fraction of what the oil industry spends on production.
    • Exploration is just that, and mining has dared to unearth some of the world's most precious resources int he most hazardous of environments. Operations must be conducted on a bespoke level, and regulations adhered to.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'I made all the mistakes you could make'

    'Technology will be at the core of meeting demand for the energy transition'

    'You need projects in frontier countries to deliver these materials'

    'The good projects are in predominantly more complicated regions'

    Gene Morgan On Lithium Production

    Gene Morgan On Lithium Production

    In this episode we chat to Gene Morgan, Founder and CEO of Zelandez, who are experts in Lithium Brine-field Technology Services whose purpose is to accelerate lithium supply, which is why Zelandez provides cutting-edge technology that helps develop lithium brine resources faster and produce more profitably.

    Gene has a mechanical background and worked in the Oil & Gas sector with SLB before starting Zelandez back in 2016 and talk about his journey and how they help Lithium companies who are either in exploration or production with their technology.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Lithium supply is provided by Zelandez through cutting edge technology, everything from geophysical logging, to resource and feasibility studies.
    • Lithium brine is the resource with the lowest cost to production, but it's also the slowest speed to production, taking around 7 years to harvest.
    • Lithium coming from the South American brines is similar to oilfield exploration and development, meaning that you are essentially producing what is a fluid resource from an underground reservoir.
    • Zelandez started with the premise that oilfield technologies and methodologies could be applied to brine exploration and production, so a heavy focus on below ground is the foundation of thinking.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'Our first thought is always, how can we save the client time?'

    'As a company, we are passionate about lithium'

    'I entered into lithium as a result of love and oil'

    'The internal combustion engine's days are numbered'

    Eastern Metals and The Brown Reef Deposit - with Bob Duffin

    Eastern Metals and The Brown Reef Deposit - with Bob Duffin

    In this episode we chat to Bob Duffin, Executive Chairman at Eastern Metals, an Australian base and precious metals exploration company with a portfolio of projects in New South Wales and the Northern Territory in Australia.

    Bob has more than 45 years’ experience in resource exploration, project assessment, mining investment analysis, and company management and is here today to tell us about Eastern Metals, what they have achieved and talks more about their Tara project and Brown Reef Deposit in NSW and their Arunta project in NT plus an update on the Australian mining sector. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The most effective way to increase resource grade or tonnage is to build upon the work done by others in the past - refining and streamlining processes for a better result.
    • The assets lie within a defined geological province which contains primary deposits of lithium. This has caused Bob to engage in a systematic reconnaissance program.
    • In New South Wales, the main project is Brown Reef, but they also operate in Tara where copper mineralisation has taken place in the past.
    • The factor in which no one has any control is commodity pricing. Fortunately they are strong right now and are expected to remain so.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'It was an all round good experience for a guy in his young twenties'

    'I liked the analytical part of the stock market'

    'We want to do some further work on that project in this calendar year'

    Understanding The Financial Universe - with Per Wimmer

    Understanding The Financial Universe - with Per Wimmer

    In this episode we chat to Per Wimmer, CEO of Wimmer Financial, a merchant bank specialising in project and acquisition finance within natural resources as well as sectors focussing on project debt and equity financing at the BFS/DFS stage or equivalent.

    Per worked for Goldman Sachs as an executive director earlier in his career before setting up Wimmer Financial in 2007 and is going to discuss the companies journey and their future. He also speaks about possibly becoming the first private Dane in space as a Founding Astronaut on Virgin Galactic and of the 3 books he has written, the “Wall Street” and “The Green Bubble”.

    Per will be speaking at the upcoming Mines and Money Connect Conference in London on 25th-26th April at the County Hall Venue in the heart of Westminster, London. The 2-day programme is a hub for investors and mining companies to have personal one on one meetings and listen to the market analysis, project spotlights, and pitch battles during the action-packed event.

    So go to this link and book your tickets: https://minesandmoney.com/connect/index

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • By working for the most renowned of financial institutions, Per has gained a significant footing in the world of finance, and is now one of the most respected figures in his field.
    • Today, Wimmer Financial is comprised of a suite of companies all headed by a family office, that oversees accounting, merchant banking and equity concerns.
    • In the last five years there has been a surge in capital values. The cost of capital is very cheap and it makes way more sense to borrow that to draw upon much needed reserves.
    • The financial sector is seeing a correction in the wake of rising inflation and interest rates, and things are challenging. This means that challenges are still out there, but more discernment is required.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'I was there during the late 90's - the exciting boom times!'

    'Day one was my mobile phone, my laptop and big hopes and dreams'

    George Salamis and Jason Kosec On Mining Business Mergers

    George Salamis and Jason Kosec On Mining Business Mergers

    In this episode we chat to George Salamis and Jason Kosec who are merging their two companies together.

    George is President/CEO of Integra Resources who are a development-stage mining company focused on the exploration and de-risking of the past producing DeLamar Gold-Silver Project in Idaho, USA. Jason Kosec, CEO, President and Director of Millennial Precious Metals who are building a multi-million-ounce, multi-asset production company unlocking value through near-surface, heap leachable gold and silver ounces in Nevada and Arizona.

    Integra recently merged with Millennial so we talk more about this transaction and why this is good for both companies. "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." -- African proverb.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • When we harness the power of two teams into one force, it dramatically multiplies the strengths we have at hand.
    • There are too many exploration and development companies in operation right now - the market is saturated. The merger is designed to be the go-to choice in the space, and to remain relevant.
    • One of the biggest problems in the sector is people. The key to success is to secure top quality assets and top quality people.
    • The question of potential mergers should always be seen with a bird's eye perspective. By merging, we are often doing a great service to our shareholders, and indeed to the world beyond, who could greatly benefit when two forces are yoked together.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'We see the world from the same lens'

    'These are exciting times!'

    'We're getting to the nitty-gritty of what we need to execute on'

    'These are the strategies and the visions that we have developed for the company in the future'

He also gives us an update on the Western Australia mining industry.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • To find a world-class project takes time. You may get lucky, but it takes an extraordinary amount of work.

    • Impact Minerals is one of the first seven companies, globally, to be chosen to be part of the BHP Explore programme.
    • Perth is becoming a battery hub involved in downstream processing. Required acids are available freely in this port region.
    • Across South East Asia, many countries are starting to grow, with technology leading the field. This requires an entirely new way of mining with an endless stream of demand.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'The philosophy of generating targets is what led me to start Impact Minerals'

    'We've been pretty discriminating about the targets we've chosen'

    'All of a sudden gold came back. Lithium started to raise its head'

    Exploring The Royalty Space - with Spencer Cole

    Exploring The Royalty Space - with Spencer Cole

    In this episode we chat to Spencer Cole, Chief Investment Officer for Vox Royalty who are a mining royalty company with a portfolio of over 60 royalties and streams spanning 8 jurisdictions. Since the beginning of 2020, Vox has announced over 25 separate transactions to acquire over 50 royalties. In the past 6 months alone Vox has dual listed on the NASDAQ exchange, launched a maiden dividend and announced +160% annual revenue growth.

    With a Masters of Engineering and a Bachelor of Commerce, Spencer co-founded Mineral Royalties Online (MRO), a specialist marketplace/brokerage for mineral royalties underpinned by developing the world’s largest proprietary royalty database, which was subsequently sold to SilverStream in 2019. While at MRO, Spencer was involved in over $1 billion of royalty transactions. In addition to co-founding MRO, Spencer has spent over 10 years at BHP, South32 and UBS Investment Bank in a wide range of commercial and technical mining roles. Spencer gives us an update on VOX Royalty and give us a more in-depth understand of the royalty space and why data is becoming more important than ever within the mining industry.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Toronto is the home of many mining companies, but the true understanding required for the industry is not quite there.
    • The ASX continues to support African projects more, whereas the Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX venture support South American more consistently.
    • Junior explorers have historically sold mining projects and kept a contract that gives them a future royalty scheme.
    • There is a huge volume of data in the mining industry that is not being properly processed and evaluated. This is representative of the opportunity we have in the sector to find insight and benefit.
    • Royalty a mainly North American-focussed sector. Most royalties are generated when businesses sell mining claims. There are simply more gold royalties in North America because it’s a rich area in terms of gold.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'I'm a reformed investment banker'

    'There's a slight bias in terms of which geographies they'll allocate capital to'

    'Toronto is a pretty fun place to live, particularly as a mining executive'

    'We're typically finding these royalty contracts sitting in the hands of prospectors'

    'The benefit of hindsight is always a double-edged sword'

    The Modern-Day Gold Rush - with Rob Bergmann and Brian Lentz

    The Modern-Day Gold Rush - with Rob Bergmann and Brian Lentz

    In this episode we chat to Rob Bergmann and Brian Lentz, of Relevant Gold who are a North American project generator, junior explorer hybrid business model, developing gold and precious metal projects throughout the USA. The current portfolio is focused on discovering district-scale, high-grade gold deposits through a “new eyes on old rocks” approach.

    Rob is the CEO and Brian is the Chief exploration officer and director and they tell us of their story from being university friends and being out in the field to then building business together and exploring for gold in Wyoming.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Exposure to the full spectrum of the mining industry allows us to gain a wide perspective about the sector's potential from the beginning.
    • We must always take advantage of new concepts when re-exploring older projects so as to unlock potential that may have been dismissed in the past.
    • Many of the areas in Wyoming have been historically mined, and so a systematic geological approach is necessary.
    • As well as Relevant Gold, the space is currently being developed by US Gold Corp in Cheyenne. State support and community support is lending ease to this transaction.

    BEST MOMENTS

    'We haven't just been business partners for 15 years - we've been friends for much longer'

    'We both had a vision for discovery'

    'It's an old eyes on new rocks kind of approach'

    'It's such a big concept'
