The Mining & Minerals Show

In this episode recorded live at CERAWeek in Houston, Deirdra sits down with Pat Risner, President of South32’s Hermosa Project, to discuss the transformation of mining in North America.

Pat outlines how the Arizona-based project differs from traditional mining by utilizing a light touch design that requires 90% less water and creates a significantly smaller land footprint than industry standards. As the first mining project to be fast-tracked under the U.S.

Government’s FAST-41 permitting process, Hermosa is positioned to help close a projected 4-million tonne global zinc gap, all while becoming a first-of-its-kind dome...

In this episode, Deirdra sits down with Alberta’s Minister of Energy and Minerals, Brian Jean, as he makes the case for Alberta’s low-cost natural gas as a unique advantage for the energy-intensive refining process for minerals like lithium, vanadium, and helium. He explains why Alberta is the answer for investors seeking certainty in a shifting global market and discusses the Government of Alberta’s recently announced regulatory streamlining.
