In this episode we chat with Michael Konnert, CEO and Founder of Vizsla Silver Corp, a junior mining company exploring, developing, and acquiring precious and base metal assets in Mexico.

Michael is a young entrepreneur and businessperson who has founded several companies. He has cemented himself as a mining executive with a bright and prosperous future. We are going to talk about Vizsla Silver and some of the other companies he is involved in. Plus, we talk about ESG, gold, and inflation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Vizsla Silver has produced over 106 million ounces of mixed resources in 18 months.
• There is a pathway for the district to become a multi-million-ounce producer.
• Vizsla is running the largest silver exploration project in the world and has already made multiple, high-grade discoveries.
• Michael is also involved in Vizsla Copper and Surge Copper.
• For copper there is a big demand gap.
• Archer Corporation, which focuses on nickel is another project Michael is working on.
• Supply chain challenges are slowing things down occasionally. As is a lack of qualified people.
• There are also long delays from assay labs.
• The recent fall in some mining shares, represents a big opportunity. Michael explains why he believes that is the case.
• Inflation and stock market conditions are creating the ideal conditions for gold and silver.
• Generalist investors are not investing in metals at scale, but it is coming.
• Despite ESG and metals being essential for modern life, the mining industry still has a big image problem.
