In this episode we chat to Matthew Yates, Executive Chairman of OreCorp, who are a development and exploration company listed on the (ASX) and have an advanced high-grade multi-million ounce project in northwest Tanzania.
Matthew is an experienced geologist with over 30 years experience in exploration and project development working in Australia, Central Asia and West Africa. He has been with OreCrop since 2013 moving up from CEO & Managing Director and talks about OreCrop’s journey so far and discusses their Nyanzaga project and how the mining industry has turned around in Tanzania.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

The key to creating a thoroughbred mining operation is pulling together the varying skill sets of partners and founding a collective that is strong and talented.
When we have the faith and resources of robust partners, it allows us to move on any opportunities that may arise. You must strike when they appear.
Over the past two years, much progress has been made in Tanzania, with full permits being granted for special mining licenses, as well as bringing in $56 million dollars in equity to see the company through pre-development.
