It’s our annual AME Round-Up special here at The Northern Miner podcast! Matt is bringing you live commentary and coverage from the marquee mining and minerals event in Vancouver, B.C. We dig into some of the buzz around the conference vis-? -vis metal prices, investing, and capital markets, including a recent talk by chairman and CEO of Osisko Gold Royalties (TSX: OR; US-OTC: OKSKF), Sean Roosen. (4:08)
Matt also sits down with Exploration Insights’ analysts Brent Cook and Joe Mazumdar to chat about their impressions of the conference, and some predictions on what might be coming up for the industry in the year ahead. (7:44) We talk about metal fundamentals, major miners investing in exploration-stage companies, and lithium chemistry. (20:50)
Furthermore, Brent digs into the “prospect generator” model and why he remains optimistic on its potential for value generation (23:30), as well as the state of U.S. capital markets. (14:51)
Finally, this week’s Geology Corner covers Geoscience BC’s Search III project results with vice president Bruce Madu and external relations director Richard Truman. (39:45)
The $1.7-million project involved helicopters equipped with ultra-sensitive magnetometers over a remote, 9,600-sq.km area of north central and northeastern BC from the proposed Kemess Underground mine south to near Mackenzie. Bruce and Richard discuss the excitement around the geophysical results and how public geoscience can help to drive investment in the province.
