A Crisis in Confidence: Ross Beaty Reminisces on Jimmy Carter's 1979 Speech

Mining legend Ross Beaty joins the podcast this week for a unique discussion on the economy, energy, mining, metals and society has a whole. We use President Jimmy Carter's 1979 "Crisis in Confidence" speech as a backdrop to our conversation and discuss the similarities, differences, and lessons made since that speech more than 40 years ago.

We then welcome in George Ogilvie, CEO of Arizona Sonoran Copper Company, a new copper play listed on the TSX. George provides a thorough introduction to the company and the Cactus Mine project in Arizona.
