In this episode we chat to Jake Klein, Executive Chair of Evolution Mining, a leading growth-focused gold company operating five wholly owned mines in NSW & QLD in Australia and in Ontario, Canada.
Jake is an experienced mining executive with a proven track record having developed Sino Gold with a market cap of $100M to eventually selling the company to Eldorado Gold for over U$2Billion. Being at the helm with Evolution since 2011, Jake has developed the company to what it is today and talks about his journey and gives us an update on their operations at Cowal Gold Mine, Ernest Henry, Mt Rawden and Red Lake. He also talks about starting his mining career in China and their exciting project at Mt Rawden that is taking place.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Many of the world's greatest mining professionals didn't plan to enter the sector, but have thrived and grown into globally recognised experts in their field, Jake among them.
The main difference between the Chinese world of mining of thirty years ago and today is the rise of technology and how it has positively impacted the supply chain there.
As the asset base grows, excitement is high in Evolution Mining, who can see that potential is great and that the opportunities are fruitful.
Mt Rawden has the attributes that make it the most suitable operation to be turns into a pumped-hydro power generator.
