Navigating the Mining Sector: An In-Depth Look at Fitzroy Minerals and The Con Series

View descriptionShare

In this episode, we chat with a returning guest who appeared back in November 2020 (episode 104). Merlin Marr Johnson, CEO of Fitzroy Minerals, who are focused on exploring and advancing commercial copper and gold discoveries in Chile, Argentina, and Canada.

Merlin is a geologist by trade and has over 25 years of experience in the resources sector in technical, corporate, and capital markets roles.

Merlin’s belief is that old primary industry principles of economic theory which says that wealth can only be created with ‘Land, Work, Ideas and Capital’ are still very relevant.  Today, he tells us more about Fitzroy Minerals, their projects in Chile and Argentina, and the story behind “The Con”, a series around investing in the natural resources sector.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Fitzroy Minerals has a diverse portfolio of projects in Chile and Argentina, including a high-grade copper and gold project in Chile and a promising gold exploration project in Argentina.
  • Investment Strategy: Merlin emphasises the importance of near-term catalysts, scale potential in geology, a competent team, financial stability, and operational independence when considering pre-discovery companies for investment.
  • The Con is a series of educational lectures by Merlin that aims to provide a nuanced and unbiased understanding of the resources sector, encouraging investors to conduct thorough due diligence and avoid confirmation bias.
  • Over the next six to 12 months, Fitzroy Minerals plans to focus on drilling programs, exploration activities, and potential discoveries in their projects in Chile and Argentina, presenting significant growth opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think when one gets to a certain age, you start putting over 25 years, because otherwise you just seem really old."

"We've got a cracking portfolio of projects... high-grade copper and high-grade gold, and there just are not these kinds of deposits."

"You have to be careful when you're investing. You have to do your own due diligence. You have to ask questions."
