This episode features the second 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 anti-microbial qualities of copper can help eliminate superbugs, such as the coronavirus, and will be needed in places such as hospitals and cruise lines. He also warns about an impending shortage in copper as the world becomes greener and more electrified.

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