Today, we’re trying something a bit different. We have released the first episode of the NEW Copper Search Podcast.
Since we announced the potential for Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS), at our Peake Project in South Australia, I’ve spoken with a lot of people about the project and realised that it’s not a particularly well-understood space. This got me thinking that one of Copper Search’s significant advantages is the incredible team. Together, they have over $100 billion worth of discoveries and possess deep knowledge of a wide range of mineralisation types and exploration methods.
We continually leverage this knowledge internally to select projects and plan exploration programs. I thought it might be helpful for Copper Search investors to also gain access to that some of that knowledge through some longer-form conversations. These conversations will hopefully provide you with insights into Copper Search’s projects and also into the junior exploration space in general.
So, for episode 1, I’d like to introduce you to Ian Warland, Principal Geologist on our new Heavy Mineral Sands Project and winner of the Explorer of the Year award for his Heavy Mineral Sands discovery for Iluka Minerals. If you want to know anything about finding, developing, or mining Mineral Sands, then Ian is the man you need to talk to.
So enjoy the Copper Search Podcast.
