In this episode, we chat with Juan Carlos, President and CEO of Canstar Resources, a TSX-Venture listed junior miner focused on mineral exploration in Newfoundland, Canada.

Juan has 15 years of experience in executive management, capital markets, finance, and commercial and strategic development. He has recently stepped into the CEO role at Canstar and in this podcast, he shares his journey, the progress Canstar has made and discusses the political and economic landscape within mining and North America as the new US president takes position.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Canstar Resources is focused on mineral exploration in Newfoundland, Canada, with a vision to create a diversified mining company that can capitalise on undervalued assets and leverage advances in data science and technology for efficient exploration.
The company has three main project areas: the Buchans-Mary March project, which is rich in VMS deposits; the Mary March project, known for high-grade zinc; and the Golden Baie project, which has significant gold and antimony potential. Each project presents unique opportunities for exploration and discovery.
The current geopolitical landscape, including national security concerns and the shift towards de-dollarisation, is expected to drive demand for critical minerals. The guest anticipates a new commodity super cycle, with increased investment in the mining sector as countries seek to secure their mineral supply chains.
Canstar plans to build on its foundational work in 2024 by advancing exploration efforts in 2025. This includes conducting geophysical surveys, leveraging new technology for exploration, and potentially making acquisitions to enhance its asset base and capitalise on market opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think we are on the cusp of the next major commodity super cycle... we're going to see increases in commodity prices that are going to be sustained until we get supply that's in balance with the demand."

"I think there's something in mining for everyone... whether your focus is on electrification and on the environment and climate change, whether your focus is on national security and the defense industrial base."

"The way that we think about exploration, it's really about the acquisition of data and the interpretation and understanding of that data."

"I think the companies that are going to be successful in this next cycle are going to be the ones that effectively tell that story."
