From Western Australia to Ecuador: Geologist Melanie Leighton's Career in Mining

Episode 462

dimanche 1 septembre 2024Duration 21:18

In this episode, we chat with Melanie Leighton, CEO of Titan Minerals, a junior miner focussed on discovering and developing Tier One copper-gold deposits in Ecuador’s southern Andean copper-gold belt.

Melanie is a geologist with over 20 years of experience in the resource sector, spanning multiple commodities, deposits, and jurisdictions. She has held senior management and geological roles with Hot Chili Limited, Harmony Gold, Hill 50 Gold, and Northwest Resources, gaining practical and management experience within the areas of exploration, mining, resource development, stakeholder engagement, and investor relations. Melanie gives us an overview of Titan Minerals and its flagship Dynasty Gold project, how she got into the mining industry and what Ecuador is like as a mining jurisdiction, and much more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Titan Minerals is primarily focused on exploring and developing tier one copper gold deposits in Ecuador's southern Andean copper gold belt.
  • The company boasts a team with extensive experience in the resources sector, including geologists with backgrounds in major mining companies like Newmont and Barrick.
  • Titan Minerals utilises various exploration techniques such as collecting foundation data sets, systematic soil geochemistry, and regional aeromagnetics to drive their exploration efforts.
  • Despite past challenges, the current Ecuadorian government is supportive of mining as a means to revitalise the economy, offering incentives and guarantees to attract foreign investment.
  • The company's main focus is on the Dynasty project, aiming to double the current 3 million ounces of gold to 5-6 million ounces through resource drilling efforts and feasibility studies. Additionally, they are seeking joint venture partners for their copper projects.

BEST MOMENTS

"Ecuador, I guess the geology and the metallogenic belts are the same as what we see in sort of Chile, Peru and Colombia to the north, but Ecuador is kind of like a gap in the middle there." 

"I entered the industry because I never wanted an office job, which ironically now a lot of my work is office based, but I really loved the idea of exploring adventures." 

"The government do see mining as a big part of the future for Ecuador. They do see it as part of their strategy to revitalise the economy." 

"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."

Scott Williamson On Nickel Opportunities And Why ESG Credentials Matter

Episode 360

mercredi 2 août 2023Duration 41:09

In this episode we chat to Scott Williamson, MD of Blackstone Minerals who are an Australian based minerals exploration company moving ahead with its flagship Ta Khoa nickel-copper-platinum group element project in Vietnam.

Scott is a mine engineer by background working in operations and corporate roles during his career and took up the MD role 6 years ago and takes us through his journey and what the future is for Blackstone Minerals. He talks about the partnerships they are looking to form with car manufacturers or electronics companies and their attractive ESG credentials.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Cobalt was the critical metal in lithium ion batteries, but early exploration was limited. At the same time, Scott's involvement in South Korea grew, which broadened his influence in the area.
  • Nickel opportunities are rather scarce, with deposits really only appearing in places such as Russia, Australia, Canada, China and Africa.
  • A conventional miner will produce nickel concentrate and sell it to a smelter. The battery industry has no way of dealing with nickel concentrate. Refineries were required.
  • Sulphite nickel is more easily consumed into chemicals and has the benefit of the sulphur within creating its own energy source and acid.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's been a real roller coaster ride'

'We looked all around the world for nickel opportunities'

'Our strategy is built on customer interaction'

'It was a focus on partners and customers that pushed us into a downstream strategy'

Shirley Hayes On The Challenges For Women In The Mining Space

Episode 356

mercredi 19 juillet 2023Duration 47:40

In this episode we chat to Shirley Hayes, who is the founder of SHiP Copper Mines, a copper mining and development company based in the Northern Cape Province in South Africa and is a 95% subsidiary of Copper 360.

Shirley is a mining entrepreneur who extensive experience in surface mining and blasting and has also run her own quarrying business in the early days. Seeking and identifying alternative commodities, she started SHiP Copper Mines focusing on the concordia tenement covering 36K hectares of the most prospective copper targets in the area. She shares her story from starting in administration to now running a listed mining company and the challenges she overcome as a female mining entrepreneur.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The best rewards often come from the toughest situations. When we overcome hardships, the empowerment is multiplied.
  • When you are starting out, you will always be in negotiation mode. Much can be learned from this period, in which you are constantly finding new ways to market yourself.
  • Being a mining entrepreneur comes with a unique set of challenges, which are exacerbated even more by our gender. Overcoming prejudice as a woman is a factor that unfortunately wastes everyone's time.
  • Being a mentor to someone can be precarious, as each person's journey is different and will involve different challenges. The best way is to study someone, rather than ask them to tell you what to do.

BEST MOMENTS

'Those were the best years of my life'

'You are always negotiating from the point of being the weaker one'

'There are always two sides to the coin'

'Rather than think I needed to do better, I needed to be better'
