In this episode we have a returning guest who appeared back in November 2019 (Episode 51). Mike Jones is Managing Director at Impact Minerals Limited, an exploration company listed on the ASX with four extensive tenement holdings within Australia, featuring significant potential for high-grade mineral deposits of gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper and nickel.
A graduate from the Royal School of mines, Mike is a very experienced geologist across Australia and in particular WA and give us an update on Impact Minerals around their recent acquisition and they recent partnership with BHP Xplor, one of the first 7 companies to be selected. He also gives us an update on the Western Australia mining industry.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

To find a world-class project takes time. You may get lucky, but it takes an extraordinary amount of work.
Resilience is the key, especially in the face of challenges in certain countries and COVID, but persistence and hard work lead to results.
Impact Minerals is one of the first seven companies, globally, to be chosen to be part of the BHP Explore programme.
Perth is becoming a battery hub involved in downstream processing. Required acids are available freely in this port region.
Across South East Asia, many countries are starting to grow, with technology leading the field. This requires an entirely new way of mining with an endless stream of demand.

BEST MOMENTS
