Doug Silver is a portfolio manager at Orion Resource Partners, an alternative investment management firm with $6 billion in assets under managements. Before Doug’s role at Orion, he built and sold two royalty companies. One of them, International Royalty Corporation (IRC), he sold to Royal Gold for $745 million. Doug is now a member of the mining hall of fame for the many successes that he has had throughout his career.
In this conversation we discuss:
•	Doug’s interesting path from zoology to geology and his family’s crater.
•	Bridging the gap from a technical background to finance.
•	What was behind Doug’s infamous geological database.
•	How IRC started, and what the royalty space looks like today.
•	What prompted the sale of IRC?
•	What role does Private Equity play in mine finance today and the challenges ahead.
It is not every day that you get to sit down with someone like Doug. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

Every now and then on the Ri Podcast I have a guest that gets me a little bit star struck. I think to myself, this is not a person I thought I’d have the chance to sit down with for a 60-min conversation.  

That's where I am today with Mike Hood. 

Until 2018 Mike was the Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force. He’s advised Prime Ministers, lead engagements around the world, and interacted with some of the top political and military leaders of our time.
 
Today he’s the President of JDS Operational Technologies, a division of the JDS Group of Companies, focused on the introduction of innovative and disruptive technologies to the resource sector.

In this far reaching podcast we talk:
• Chinese spy balloons;
• The Russian/Ukrainian conflict; 
• Sabotage and espionage in the mining sector; and
• Why critical resources are under attack and what industry leaders should be doing about it. 

It was truly a pleasure to get to spend an hour learning from Mike. This episode is a must listen for anyone leading a natural resource company or thinking of deploying capital in these volatile times.
