"I think there's a critical mass now that's building in terms of those majors and in a royalty streaming groups that are all invested significantly in Ecuador in recent years."

In this episode we chat to Russell Fryer, CEO of Critical Metals, who were formed to identify and acquire brownfield mining opportunities in the strategic metals sector as defined by the United States and European Union. Their focus is on near-term production opportunities, prioritising cash flow generation over exploration upside and where the Board believes opportunities have been overlooked and under-analysed. Their primary asset is the Mol-ulu Project in the DRC’s Katangan Copperbelt, Russell’s career has been in the mining investment and equity space working for some of the major global financial institutions and shares the story of Critical Metals and their new project in the DRC that has recently gone into production.
