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.
