In this episode, we chat with Diane Garrett, CEO of Hycroft Mining which is a precious metals development company that owns the Hycroft Mine. The 2nd largest gold mine in the US, located in the prolific mining region of Northern Nevada. 

Diane has a background in minerals economics. She is an engineer with 20 years of senior executive management experience in the mining industry. Someone who has an exceptional track record for developing projects and building companies. During this podcast, Diane provides us with an update on Hycroft Mining and what they are planning to do next.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
Diane´s team is taking a mining operation that has been successful since the 1980s to the next level, by transitioning from near surface oxide heat bleaching to a large-scale sulphide milling operation.
Hycroft has over 20 million ounces of gold equivalent and has a very large silver deposit.
During the transition, they are not actively mining, but are still producing gold and silver off of the leach pads.
When Hycroft Mining takes over a project, they do not simply continue with the same approach. Instead, they take a step back and look at things with fresh eyes and use the most up-to-date technology to re-explore the asset.
The former owners never allowed their geologists to explore fully. Diane´s team drilled all 3 of the feeder systems and have had significant hits.
Tapping into the power of social media has attracted a lot of new investors.
Women still tend not to think about working in mining. Diane´s advice is for women to just try it.



BEST MOMENTS

‘Hycroft has a very long successful history of open pit heap leach mining, dating back to the 1980s. ´

‘We come in with a fresh pair of eyes… you have to remember that technology does change, our thinking changes.’

‘I'm not a woman in mining, I'm not a woman CEO, I'm just a CEO… it never occurs to me that I am the only one…I am just there to do my job.’
