In this week's long-form, we welcome back in Steve de Jong, CEO of VRIFY. Steve has a successful history of junior mining exploration and development. Since the time with Integra Gold, Steve has funded and developed the VRIFY technology platform for exploration and mining companies to utilize in the investor presentations.

In our conversations, Steve opens up about the trials and tribulations going from an exploration company to a technology company, lessons learned in VRIFY's early days, and how the team continues to balance themselves between technology markets and mining markets.

Steve also shares some new additions to the platform which Trevor finds incredibly useful for the investor, but perhaps sees tribulations for the company.

We'd like to thank our sponsors:
