We're back in action with a jam-packed episode featuring a pair of special guests! Lesley drops by MAG Silver's (TSX: MAG; NYSE-MKT: MAG) offices in Vancouver to chat with Dr. Peter Megaw, who won the 2017 PDAC Thayer Lindsley award for his work on the blind discovery known as the Juanicipio silver deposit. The discovery reportedly resulted from "an understanding of structural controls and mineral zoning patterns of epithermal vein systems and persistent application of field-based exploration methods." Discussion revolves around carbonate-hosted lead-zinc ore deposits!
Meanwhile, Matt is joined in studio by mining.com editor, Frik Els; who provides some unique insights on the industrial metals complex. We talk about copper-supply disruptions, metallurgical coal markets, and current market sentiments on nickel. Plus, Frik explains why the big-four iron ore producers are basically "OPEC on crack."
Bonus: We talk about Kinross Gold's (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC) new involvement with White Gold (TSXV: WGO) in the Yukon!
