In this episode we chat with Simon Popple, MD of Brookville Capital, and a sound money expert in gold investing, having dedicated his career to the gold industry for the last 15 years. 

Simon is on the show to discuss the main misconceptions of investing in gold and why now is probably more important than ever to understand why gold is an important investment vehicle to maintain and build wealth.

Simon is going to be attending Europe’s largest mining event, Resourcing Tomorrow, (formerly known as Mines and Money London,) which is taking place in London on the 28th-30th November, a great platform for the entire mining value chain, fostering learning, lively debates, and providing valuable networking opportunities.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Gold is a valuable investment vehicle for maintaining and building wealth. It has limited supply and is globally recognised as valuable, making it a universal currency.
• There are misconceptions about investing in gold. The first misconception is that people think they need to physically possess gold, but in reality, it can be stored and insured by professionals. The second misconception is that gold doesn't provide any income, but there are ways to generate income from gold investments, such as investing in gold stocks. The third misconception is that investing in gold is risky, but there are different levels of risk depending on the type of investment, and physical gold can act as a form of insurance.
• It is important to have a balanced portfolio that includes exposure to both gold and fiat currencies. Gold can protect against inflation and economic collapse, while fiat currencies provide stability and liquidity.
• The price of gold is influenced by factors such as debt levels and supply and demand dynamics. As debt continues to rise, there is a good chance that the gold price will also increase.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think property probably falls into that boat. So even though I did very well out of property, I didn't see it as something I could always make money from." 

"You don't have to invest in the riskiest format. And I think a lot of people, they look at gold, and they hear about these junior mining stocks, and they go, that's too risky." 

"I think all I would say is, I think gold's better days are ahead of it rather than behind it, so I feel comfortable with the price where it is at the moment." 

"I think it's a bit scary if you've got 100% exposure to gold and silver and no exposure to fiat currencies. I think it's all about balance."

In this episode, we chat to Neil Marston, MD & CEO of Flynn Gold who are an Australian-based mineral exploration company targeting gold and battery metals (lithium, tin, nickel, zinc) in under-explored areas of Tasmania and Western Australia.

Neil has over 30 years of experience in the mining and minerals exploration sector and is a proven ASX-listed company leader, with a strong governance and corporate finance background. He joined Flynn Gold just over a year ago so he talks about his career, what the company has achieved to date with its Golden Ridge project, and what the outlook is for the company.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Flynn Gold is an Australian-based mineral exploration company targeting gold and battery metals in under-explored areas of Tasmania and Western Australia.
• The company has achieved significant drilling results at the Golden Ridge Project in Northeast Tasmania, including intersections of high-grade gold veins.
• Flynn Gold has expanded its portfolio by acquiring two projects in Tasmania, namely the Fire Tower and Warrantina gold projects, and plans to conduct further drilling and exploration in these areas.
• The company also has projects in Western Australia, including the Mount Dove and Yarri projects in the Pilbara region, and the Kooyenobbing, Forestania, and Lake Johnson projects in the Yilgarn region.

BEST MOMENTS

"The analogies between Northeast Tasmania and the Victorian Goldfields are very strong geologically, and there's no reason why we can't be finding some very high-grade gold deposits on our ground."

"There's no doubt that it's having a negative impact on some of the companies that are exploring purely for gold. You're seeing a lot of gold explorers pivoting towards these other commodities." 

"Australia is a great place to come and build a career and a lifetime of work around our industry." 

"We've got some ground up in the Pilbara, which is in the northern part of Western Australia. Two projects there, Mount Dove and Yarrie. Mount Dove is surrounded by the Hemi Goldmine to the northwest of us and to the southeast and east we've got the Pilgangoora and Wodgina, which are two Lithium projects in production at the moment."

In this episode we have a returning guest who appeared back in October 2021 (Episode 178). Daniel Major, CEO of GoviEx Uranium, who are a mineral resource company focused on the exploration and development of its African uranium properties in Niger and Zambia and another project in Mali.

Daniel is a Camborne School of Mines mine engineering graduate and has been at the helm of GoviEx since 2012, developing the company into a position to become a Uranium producer in the near future and is here today to give us an update on the company and about the uranium market in general.

Daniel is going to be attending Europe’s largest mining event, Resourcing Tomorrow, (Formerly known as Mines and Money London,) which is taking place in London on the 28-30 November, a great platform for the entire mining value chain, fostering learning, lively debates, and providing valuable networking opportunities.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• GoviEx Uranium is a mineral resource company focused on the exploration and development of uranium properties in Niger, Zambia, and Mali. They have two mine permitted projects in Zambia and Niger, and an exploration property in Mali.
• The uranium market is currently experiencing a significant rise in prices, with uranium prices jumping 12% over the past month and reaching the highest levels in 12 years. This is driven by factors such as increasing demand for nuclear power, the need for clean energy sources, and concerns about security of energy supply.
• The coup in Niger has affected the company's plans for the Madaouela project, as it has put a pause on the debt financing process. 
• The Muntanga project in Zambia is a low-cost, open-pit heap leaching operation with favourable economics. It has a net present value (NPV) of $189 million at the current uranium price, and the company believes there is potential to further improve the project's economics.

BEST MOMENTS

"The uranium market is actually flying at the moment. We've been talking about supply and demand fundamentals changing and improving, tightness in the market, declining inventories, all these good things. And then finally, the clock is right, and it's absolutely flying." 

"If you want clean energy, you can't do it with renewables alone. And certainly, if you want it to be commercially viable, you can't do it with renewables." 

"We're now able to make sure that our Zambian project is pushing forward while we wait to resolve what is going on in Niger. We keep pushing forward on that"

"The momentum is definitely in the uranium market. As we said, we're massively undervalued. We've got two great projects. You're getting one of them for a third of its value and the other one you get for free. And it is a complete leverage. So if that changes around, you get all of that uplift that's sitting there in that project as well."

• Culpeo recently acquired a new project called Fortuna, located 10 kilometers north of Lana Corina, which has multiple drill targets and potential for mineralization.
• Chile offers attractive opportunities for copper exploration due to its high copper reserves, well-established mining laws, and accessible infrastructure.

BEST MOMENTS

"Chile, as you mentioned earlier, is the number one copper producer in the world. It's got the highest reserves of copper in the world. It's a great place to look for copper." 

"Chile really is a mining country. I think the general population of Chile understand the importance of the mining industry, you know, it is the main input into the GDP of Chile." 

"I think short term where we're in for probably a little bit of, you know, a low price regime, but I think medium to long term, we're going to see, you know, copper certainly going to get back up to $10,000 a ton."

"We certainly want to explore the ground that we've got. Over the next six months, we certainly will be bringing the drill rig back… There'll be quite a lot of drilling to report on in the next three to six months."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The mining industry is facing a challenge in attracting young talent, as a recent survey showed that 70% of respondents aged 15-30 would not consider working in the industry.
• To address this issue, the industry needs to focus on rebranding and changing the public perception of mining. This includes showcasing the positive impact of mining on the supply chain and the role it plays in the energy transition.
• There is a need for a collaborative effort among industry leaders, associations, and governments to educate the public about the importance of mining and the career opportunities it offers.
• Companies should be open to hiring talent from diverse backgrounds and industries, not just those with mining experience. This can help bring in fresh perspectives and skills to drive innovation and growth in the industry.

BEST MOMENTS

"70% of respondents said they wouldn't consider working in the mining industry." 

"The only way to achieve net zero, the only way to achieve the energy transition is through mining."

"It's about showcasing the supply chain and the actual end result of what the consumers are holding and the importance of mining."
