On the AME Podcast: Exploration Matters today we revisit an important topic: training, attracting and retaining the workers needed to find and extract the minerals and metals critical to our future. How will we develop the human resources we need to supply the mineral resources essential to a low-carbon future? First, we speak with Aubree Barnum, Vice President, Human Resources, Lithium Americas Corp., a growing company with advancing lithium projects in Argentina and Nevada, who is looking to expand its workforce. Next, we chat with Shaun Barker, Director of the Mineral Deposit Research Unit at The University of British Columbia, who shares some concerning statistics about declining enrolments in university-level earth sciences courses. 

Integra Resources CEO, George Salamis, joined us today for his corporate commentary on the ongoing permitting activities and studies being done, or which were done, as the company continues to advance the DeLamar gold project through permitting.

Ascot Resources reported initial positive grade reconciliation between from the Big Missouri deposit at its Premier Gold Project in the Triangle of British Columbia suggesting there is good potential to increase mined grades by continuously improving external mining dilution. Troilus Gold reported the thickest and most continuous high-grades at its Troilus project in Quebec in Canada, including the single highest-grade interval ever drilled of 46m grading 4.38 g/t AuEq, while a new shallow and high-grade panel of mineralization has been defined over 300m at the border of the Z87 PEA pit shell which will see it shift its engineering focus to the delivery of a feasibility study, rather than a prefeasibility study as initially planned. Denison Mines  recovered uranium-bearing solution from the Phoenix in-situ recovery (ISR) feasibility field test at its Wheeler River project in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, achieving targeted rates and grades. The company is now preparing to transition from the leaching phase of the field test to the neutralization phase, which is expected to be completed before the end of the year, before then progressing to management of the recovered solution, which is expected to commence in the June quarter of 2023. Adventus Mining and Salazar Resources announced  infill drilling results for the underground portion of the mineral resource at the El Domo volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit at the Curipamba project in Ecuador with a highlights of 6.91 metres grading 6.17% copper equivalent in hole 394.

Today we collaborate with the National Mining Museum and Hall of Fame. The organization is inducting a new group of mining individuals, including Franco-Nevada's Pierre Lassonde. We were able to connect with Pierre to discuss his upbringing, education, and the entrepreneurial spirit which lead to the founding and success of Franco-Nevada. Not only has Mr. Lassonde obviously found success in business, he has also found success through philanthropic outreach. We chat a little about that as well. Finally, Mr. Lassonde gives a quick synopsis of today's mining, exploration and royalty models. What is working and what may not work. In our second segment, we stick with the royalty model and welcome in Fred Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus Royalties. A lot has changed since the merger. Mr. Bell expresses those changes and reminisces of the rollercoaster which was 2022 for the company.  We'd like to thank our sponsors: Integra Resources is advancing the past-producing DeLamar Project in southwestern Idaho.
