In this podcast, we interview Mike Jones, MD of Impact Minerals, an exploration company listed on the ASX with four extensive tenement holdings within Australia, (NSW, QLD & WA) featuring significant potential for high-grade mineral deposits of gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper and nickel.

We discuss the Australian mining market and what challenges it faces as the market is buoyant, and the progress of Impact Minerals and what they are looking to achieve.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The mining industry in Australia is extremely busy today. This is mainly due to a huge surge in gold and lithium, which led to money being poured into producers. 
A few huge discoveries in Victoria and in Western Australia, have led to the mining industry there turning a corner, and becoming sought after by investors.
With the five-year downturn, mining in Australia has seen a large downturn in new recruits, especially amongst young people. Technology is fine, but there’s no substitute for human instinct.
Blackridge is the main focus for Impact Minerals right now. It is the conglomerate host of gold projects and so acts as the epicentre of activity.
Aside from normal operation challenges, the main issues affecting Impact are around technology. Advancements have meant huge challenges in data and applications, but also have increased productivity immensely.
Over the next decade, Mike wants Impact to attract more value, which will allow the company to expand and to seek out wealthier resources. Persistence is the key in exploration.

.BEST MOMENTS

‘It was a big step to take’

‘I could probably run a mining company as badly as these people can!’

‘Each of the cycles is different’

‘It takes time, and time is money’

’The amount of data generated is extraordinary’

‘Hopefully I’ll be a yacht in the Mediterranean!'
