Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#77 - Digging for Dollars #9 Jim Paterson | Making Discoveries Look Easy
Q: What drives people in this business to keep pushing despite disappointing drill results?
The guests discuss a mix of long-term capital, the belief in big, scalable mineral systems, and the idea that a few successful discoveries can validate a company long after a bad drill. They emphasize patience, smart risk-taking, and the importance of management and capital access to turn discoveries into value.
#81 - Digging for Dollars #12 Simon Marcotte on Takeovers & Strategy | Quebec Gold M&A Is Heating Up
Q: What makes for a successful exit in junior mining, according to you?
He stresses having an exit plan from the outset, with multiple potential buyers and a team capable of making the asset attractive to a major, rather than depending on a single potential acquirer.
#81 - Digging for Dollars #12 Simon Marcotte on Takeovers & Strategy | Quebec Gold M&A Is Heating Up
Q: Simon, what's your take on the ongoing consolidation in Quebec and across Canada?
Simon notes that macro tailwinds, strong cash flows, and the need to replenish reserves will drive continued M&A in the gold space, with strategic assets like Iamgold and Cote Gold likely to attract further attention from majors.
#78 - Digging for Dollars #10 Allan Barry Laboucan | Copper Shortages, Gold Peaks & Real Discoveries
Q: What is Allan looking for in a mining asset?
He prioritizes the project itself and its rock/ drill core potential, followed by how well a company communicates with shareholders through digital marketing and long-term strategy, with a preference for major to junior mix and clear growth potential.
#75 - Digging for Dollars #7 Eira Thomas | 1st Inning of the Bull Market & Discounted Developers
Q: Do you think that it's possible to run an exploration-led strategy in a market where PEAs are being updated to reflect current gold prices?
Yes, with a disciplined approach that prioritizes assets with proven upside, strong economics, and the ability to fund growth through measured drilling and strategic partnerships.
