Coffee with Samso Episode100 with Mark Strizek, Executive Director of Tietto Minerals Limited (ASX: TIE)     Tietto Minerals has one of the easiest gold mining story that I have come across. It may be in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa but the Abujar Gold Project is a simple as it gets for me.   Mark Strizek tells us about how the founder of Tietto, Caigen Wang went about finding and now developing the Abuja Gold Project. One of Mark's stories was that Caigen saw the amount of people working in the mine and immediately realise that this is a mine waiting to be developed.   As we celebrated the 100th episode of Coffee with Samso, Mark shared with us the Tietto story and why we both believe that it is simply A Simple Gold Mining Story.   Cote D'Ivoire is a place that is rich in minerals and is blessed with greenstones (See Figure below under About Abujar Project) not much different to those we see in the Kalgoorlie Goldfields. There are numerous multi million ounces of gold discovered in the country and the pro-economic government is a bonus.   ESG is something that is in the forefront of Tietto's hurdles to make the mine a reality and Mark share with us the challenges and who they are making this a no-event. There appears to be no deal breaking events in front of the company as they progress aggressively to get the first gold bar poured for shareholders.     Drilling is important. If you do not drill you cannot grow. This is a Simple Story. Tietto saved over USD60M by having their own drill rigs. This is money Tietto shareholders have saved since 2018. -Mark Strizek August 2021   I have been wanting to chase this story since 2018. The first time I met with Mark and Caigen and heard the story, I was sold on its journey and in 2021, it si great to see the fruits nearly coming out for the shareholders.   I am gad to have the inaugural guest of Coffee with Samso back telling this story in Episode 100.
