Missing Pieces to the Copper Market & Is China Ready for Afghanistan?

Today we connect with Simon Hunt, a man who knows the copper market and the Chinese economy after years of analysis and reporting. He breaks down both for us and dives into some missing pieces of the copper market we've neglected to see.

We then turn to Chris Wnuk, an exploration geologist with working knowledge on the geology and mineral endowments of Afghanistan. We discuss the topic of China moving into that country since American withdrew personnel. Many political pundits have misconceptions of this topic. 

We'd like to thank our sponsors:
