See the offer in the Episode Resources section to get your ticket at a discounted rate.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

• As a geologist, it is important not to have tunnel vision. Pigeonholing deposits prevent you from discovering other ores or minerals that may be present.
• Tesoro Resources is in control of over 600sq km of concessions, in Chile.
• Since 2017, they have drilled over 105,000 metres.
• Using a unique approach, they have uncovered a million-ounce-plus resource quickly.
• Being able to drill diamond cores early has played a significant role in their success.
• The few drill holes that have not resulted in finds taught them a huge amount.
• So far, they have identified 10 potential deposits.
• In Chile, both power and water can be an issue. But neither is a problem in the area Tesoro Resources operates in.
• There are plenty of very experienced miners available for work in Chile.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Myself and a couple of other guys have been really integral to delineation discovery design. ´
‘They are able to directly sample those rocks and assess them for potential, for gold mineralization.’
‘There's been some recent initiatives by the Chilean government to really reinvigorate foreign investment into Chile.’

In the episode, we chat with Chad Peters, Presidential, DEO and Director of Ridgeline Minerals (TSX listed - TSX.V:RDG and OTCQB:RDGMF) who are an exploration company focused on exploring high-grade Carlin-Type gold deposits in Nevada.
Chad has a background in geology and Co-founded Ridgeline Minerals in 2018 with a focus on exploring Tier-1, Carlin-Type gold deposits in Nevada. He talks about their partnership at the Swift project and their Selena project
KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ridgeline Minerals was co-founded with a drilling company, which has significantly reduced its exploration costs.
• This also de-risks the early part of the exploration process, which trips most companies up.
• When it comes to exploration, they are always pushing the envelope and trying innovative ideas, which is producing results across their five projects.
• They have recently closed a significant financing deal.
• In the fall, they will be drilling their flagship Selena project.
• Selena hosts a zoned Ag-Au-Pb-Zn Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD).
• There is also potentially open-pittable Ag-Au at Chinchilla, Juniper, Revival and Broken Egg and maybe a deeper high-grade potential at the CRD Zone.
• At Swift, they have had intercepts at up to 5 metres of 400/420 grams silver point, 6 grams of gold and about 9% lead/zinc.
• Nevada is still an easy place to mine. There is little pushback from the community and good infrastructure.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Not only did they like that we were pushing new ideas, tying some different concepts, but we also could drill at a significantly cheaper cost. ´
‘I’m the largest shareholder in the company... the whole focus is on de-risking the exploration process.’
‘We don't have to go find 4/5 million ounces of gold to make an economic mine, half a million is enough.’

In this episode, we chat with Catherine Raw, who is an experienced executive within the mining and metals sector, and who also has experience in commodity markets, equities, and finance. She was previously the COO of Barrick Gold covering the North American region.
She has a geology/earth science degree from Cambridge. We discuss a wide range of topics including industry competitiveness, investment, women in mining and much more.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Successful projects balance the qualitative with the quantitative.
• In many cases, it is better to phase your investments and not put all of your CAPEX upfront.
• Taking care of stakeholders is a vital component of success. If the community wants you there, you face far fewer hurdles.
• Ultimately stores of value are important, so things will turn around.
• There is a lot of pressure on management to make short-term decisions, at the expense of longer-term decisions. The best companies resist that pressure.
• Women who are successful in mining stand their ground, but not in an aggressive way.
• We need to be able to explain the relevance of mining to the current and future generations.
• Mining needs to understand that people want a better work-life balance, they are no longer prepared not to sacrifice their personal and family lives.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I got to go to all of the cutting-edge geological frontiers and understand the investments there. ´
‘You need to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.’
‘The power industry is mining without all of the geology and mining.’

He has a passion and desire to promote the industry and the podcast aims to offer the mining community an insight into people’s experiences and careers covering any mining discipline, giving the listeners helpful advice and guidance on industry topics.

For this episode, Rob has a returning guest Nikolaos Cacos, who visited him a few episodes ago to speak about his other company Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp of which he is president, director, and CEO. 
Today, he sits down with Rob to talk about and provide an overview of Blue Sky Uranium, where he is also the CEO. With more than 4000 kilometres of prospective tenement, it is one of Argentinian's best-positioned uranium and vanadium exploration companies.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Blue Sky is a unique company that has uncovered a huge new uranium district, in Argentina.
• The area has similar geology to the rich and low-operating cost uranium deposits found in Kazakhstan.
• They have already discovered just under 23 million pounds of uranium to the 11.5 million pounds of vanadium, which they are also able to expand.
• Blue Sky will be drilling two more target sites and have more to explore.
• Because Argentina has a nuclear power industry, so they are a potential customer.
• Argentina has silver, gold, copper, zinc, rare earths and more. It has an exceptionally large land mass with immense potential for far more mineral and metal mining projects.
• Blue Sky is a member of the Grosso Group which pioneered mineral exploration in Argentina.
• They already have strong ties and a good relationship with the community.
• Nuclear is carbon-free and demand for this power source is growing.

In this episode, we chat to Shawn Khunkhun, CEO & Director at Dolly Varden Silver Corp, a mineral exploration company focused on advancing its 100% held Kitsault Valley Project, which is located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
Shawn has a wealth of experience in the capital markets, mineral exploration, and the development sector and has a focus on enhancing shareholder value. He has served in a variety of strategic roles including investor relations, and corporate development. Shawn is also a director of Goldshore Resources and Director & CEO of StrikePoint Gold. He is going to give us an update on Dolly Varden, the history of the company and assets and an overview of the current silver market
KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In just a few years, Dolly Varden has grown, in terms of market cap, by about five times.
• During that time, the share price doubled.
• The company was undercapitalized. Bringing in $45 million has solved that problem.
• Shawn tripled the company´s mineral inventory.
• They have about 63 million ounces of high-grade silver and 1 million ounces of gold in the ground.
• Instead of continuing to rely on consultants, Dolly Varden has built up an experience in an internal team that has resulted in fast growth.
• They have identified 7 deposits in Kitsault Valley in an area that they own outright.
• There is hydroelectric power available in the area.
• The deeper they drill the higher the grades and the wider the deposits get.
• Dolly Varden is number one for size vs grade in the jurisdiction.
• Silver is still a niche market, there is not enough to meet demand 5 years from now.
• Historically the price of silver follows gold, but this time around demand is likely to have more of an impact.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I transfer wealth and my scientists create wealth. ´
‘In my experience, with consultants, you pay top dollar, and you get a slow turnaround.’
‘The people are almost as important as the projects…. We´ve got a really strong team.’
‘Historically, silver moves when gold is reaching the mature stages of its cycle.’

He has a passion and desire to promote the industry and the podcast aims to offer the mining community an insight into people’s experiences and careers covering any mining discipline, giving the listeners helpful advice and guidance on industry topics.

In this episode, we chat with Nikolaos Cacos, president, director, and CEO of Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp who is focused on acquiring high-quality lithium projects in Argentina and advancing them towards production in order to meet the growing global demand for the battery sector. 
Nikolas has a wealth of experience in executive-level management and advisory expertise in the mineral exploration industry and serves as an officer and director of a number of TSX Venture Exchange listed companies. We talk about Argentina Lithium and what they have been up to.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Despite being the 8th largest country in the world, until 1992, there was virtually no mining in Argentina.
• When the government decided to let outside investors develop mines, Nikolaos was one of the earliest people to get involved in exploring and opening mines.
•  The Grasso Group of which Argentina Lithium is a member has made 4 world-class discoveries along with many others.
• Argentina Lithium has acquired 4 high-class lithium deposits and has recently added Rincon West, which sits next to two other projects that are already producing Lithium. 
• Direct Lithium extraction technology is making it far easier to extract Lithium and do so even for low-grade lakes.
• In Argentina, mining is controlled at a province level, so there are a few differences between provinces. But there is staunch support for mining everywhere.
• Even 30 years ago, before ESG requirements, the Grasso Group has always involved the local community.

BEST MOMENTS
‘We started a couple of years ago, acquiring high-quality projects, as the price of lithium was beginning to firm up, ´
‘We have a very long history there…we understand how to work effectively there (in Argentina).’
‘We made a significant contribution to help them devise and put together mining regulations and mining laws.’
