The Northern Miner Podcast - episode 178: 'The electrification of everything', ft Robert Friedland at PDAC, part 1

By Posted Adrian Pocobelli / March 17, 2020 / www.northernminer.com / Article Link

This episode features the first part of a keynote speech by mining mogul and financier Robert Friedland at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference in Toronto. Friedland discusses how the proposed Green New Deal will generate a massive increase in copper demand, how Chile and South America have become increasingly challenging mining jurisdictions, and how electric vehicles will create an insatiable demand for metals such as copper, platinum and palladium.

All this and more with online editor and host Adrian Pocobelli.
