Welcome to the latest episode of 'On the Couch'. This occasional podcast series of chats with fund managers, CEO’s and brokers aims to give you an insight into the investing world.

In this episode, Henry chats with Peter Harold, CEO of Poseidon Nickel (POS), following a disappointing recent update. Marcus has done a number of podcasts with Peter, and the company has been one of his key recommendations.

For those of us new to the story, Peter is a process engineer with over 30 years' corporate experience in the minerals industry, specialising in financing, marketing, business development and general corporate activities.

Until recently, he was the Managing Director of Panoramic Resources (PAN), a company he co-founded as a $3m IPO in 2001. Peter steered PAN through the financing and development of the Savannah Nickel Project in the East Kimberley, and the acquisition and re-start of the Lanfranchi Nickel Project near Kambalda, with the company reaching a market capitalisation of $1.2bn in 2007. He was more recently involved in bringing the Savannah Project out of care and maintenance, and back into production.

Peter has extensive experience in base metal mining project feasibility studies, financing, developments, operations and marketing.

Black Swan will be the focus of this update following the recent announcement on delays from power issues and metallurgy.
