In this episode we chat to Michael Moore, MD of Golden State Mining who are an ASX listed exploration company based in Perth, Australia who have acquired a number of gold and base metals assets around Western Australia and looking to develop these in the near future.
Michael is a mine engineer by background with extensive experience in Western Australia, and is also the director of the Camborne School of Mines in the UK, so we discuss what is happening with some of the universities around the world suspending some of their mining courses and what impact that will have in the industry in the future. We also talk about what the industry needs to do to attract more young people into mining and what are the key drives to achieving this.
