In today’s episode we chat to Sam Pazuki, Vice President, Corporate Development & Investor Relations at Oceana Gold, a multinational gold producer with operating, development & exploration experience in the Philippines, New Zealand & USA.

We talk about M&A activities in the gold sector, challenges around ESG in the current climate, and much more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Mining for oil and gas is typically less expensive, and incurs less overall costs, due to the fact that the results are almost immediate, and do not require lengthy periods of exploration and testing.
Mining companies tend to promote themselves on an individual basis as opposed to a sector-basis. Oil and gas are far more vocal, and companies find themselves more readily represented through these groups.
As the gold prices began to fall in 2013, the industry saw M&A transactions evaporate. This led to widespread frustration from shareholders due to the write-downs.
The mining industry has long been split, not just upon how it can do better to disclose the positive work being done, but how to disclose it together, instead of separately.

BEST MOMENTS

’There are some pretty exciting things happening in the sector’

‘You do need one overarching body to represent the entire industry’

’It’s important to promote the good work we do'

‘We’re getting a much better sense of what sustainability really is'
