In this episode we chat to Bernard Aylward, CEO of Kodal Minerals, a junior explorer with a primary focus on the immediate exploration and definition of the lithium mineralisation at the Bougouni Project in southern Mali. The Company also holds a highly prospective suite of gold assets in West Africa.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Learning and development should be sought out and accepted wherever possible, Mining is all about the personal journey and what we can take from it.
Discovery and exploration are the driving forces behind Kodal's values. It is focussed upon West Africa, and devoted to being a valuable asset in the green energy revolution.
West Africa is attractive to junior explorers due to its success when it comes to results. Places such as Ghana are turning into world leaders when it comes to gold.
A significant expense of the production process is in the transportations side, as well as the refining process, including concentration.
