#66 - Defining Discovery with Scott Briscoe (Part 1)

Wednesday, January 11, 2023 • Duration 01:06:21

How is something so fundamental to mineral exploration like the nature of what constitutes a discovery can have such a poorly accepted industry-wide definition?

Maybe it is like the old adage, if you do not know which port you are sailing to, then no wind is favourable. If everyone can define discovery, then does that mean no one can define discovery?

On this episode, we are joined by Scott Briscoe, and we try to understand what constitutes a discovery in mineral exploration

#63 - Ideas That Must (Part 4)

Thursday, December 29, 2022 • Duration 01:12:26

At the end of our interviews, Steve and Ahmad always ask the guests two questions: what is something they think needs to live or be maintained in the mining industry at all costs; and what is something that needs to die or be jettisoned out of our industry? We thought it would be interesting to put together some of the responses we have received to those questions over the past year.

So on this episode of Ideas that Must Die and Live in Mining, we are joined by, Eira Thomas, Chuck Fipke, Tony Reda, Aaron Schutt, Peter Betts, Kyle Prentice, Justin Osborne, Mark Jessell and Nicolas Thebaud.

#62 - There is more to Streaming than just Netflix with Shaun Usmar

Friday, December 16, 2022 • Duration 01:07:40

The last decade has seen an explosion of a new type of company in the mining space: royalty companies. Royalties are nothing new to mining, they have been around for a long time.

Recently, royalty companies have been innovating by getting into streaming - just like everyone else, I guess.

For a deeper understanding of royalties and streaming, our guest on this episode is Shaun Usmar, who in 2016 started Triple Flag Precious Metals, a royalty and streaming company. We talked to him about why royalties and streaming are becoming commonplace in the industry.

#61 - When It All Goes Wrong With Tim Foden

Monday, December 12, 2022 • Duration 01:28:37

When we consider mining projects in arbitration, we often consider jurisdictions in Africa and Central and South America.

But increasingly, projects in developed countries are following a similar path for other reasons - like community objection, or environmental concerns, or permitting delays. Sometimes you just need a lawyer in your corner to help you through these situations. You better hope it is not too late…

Our guest on this episode is Tim Foden, a partner at Boise Schiller Flexner, specialising in International Dispute Resolution, particularly in the mining sector.

Come join us and let's explore.

Thursday, November 3, 2022 • Duration 51:40
