What happens when a geologist with 40+ years in the trenches flips the script and becomes a top junior mining investor? Jacques Bonneau went from chasing drill cores in the bush to managing millions in flow-through capital — and now he's written the book every retail investor in mining should read: The Art of Investing in Junior Mining.In this episode of CrashLabs, we talk about everything the press releases don’t tell you: why storytelling matters as much as grade, how to spot a 10-bagger team before they make the discovery, and why young investors are sleeping on the biggest contrarian play of the decade. He also drops his favorite stock picks right now — from Peru to Quebec to Botswana — and explains why this might finally be the start of a real junior bull.00:00 Introduction to Jacques Bonneau 04:01 Jacques Bonneau's Journey in Geology07:55 Transition from Geologist to Investor11:57 Management in Mining Investments16:11 The Role of Capital in Mining Projects17:59 Economic Viability of Nickel Deposits27:00 The Future of Mining 29:51 The Treasure Hunt: Creating Value in Mining44:35 Networking and Mentorship in Mining48:26 Modern Investment Strategies 56:32 Bullish Phase in Junior Mining01:05:05 Top Mining Picks#mining #investing #miningstocks #nickel#Investing #Stocks #ResourceInvesting #Mining #Gold #Silver--------------------------------------This podcast does not provide any investment, financial, economic, legal, accounting, or tax related advice or recommendations.
