Is the Australian mining sector changing FOR GOOD? Here’s my take

Posted on by The Toolkit

Earlier this month I attended the RIU conference in Sydney. Here are my insights from what I saw and the conversations I had: Over 50% of exhibitors were focused on gold, which is rarely shocking for Australia. Aussies love gold and the country is the second largest producer globally, after all. Now in terms of … Continue reading Is the Australian mining sector changing FOR GOOD? Here’s my take

TBT: Inauguration of the Casposo gold mine ⛰⛏ in San Juan, Argentina in 2011

Posted on by The Toolkit

It was a brilliant sunny day. Dad and I drove from Mendoza to San Juan super early. Troy (ASX listed) had organised buses to take us up to the project so we parked at the designated meeting point and got on one of the buses. After a short ride we arrived at the mine's camp … Continue reading TBT: Inauguration of the Casposo gold mine ⛰⛏ in San Juan, Argentina in 2011

I attended the Latin America Down Under (LADU) conference last month, held in Perth (did you know it was my first time there?

What to expect from PDAC 2016 (other than being cold)

Posted on by The Toolkit

I can't make it to Toronto’s this year –shocking, I know, don’t even remind me– but I thought I could join in the fun by doing one of the things I like best, writing. PDAC is by far the most exciting, lively and useful mining conference I've been, and I have been to quite a … Continue reading What to expect from PDAC 2016 (other than being cold)

Being interviewed at “Interpelados*”, a regional TV show – and looking super serious

Posted on by The Toolkit

Can you believe I never had a chance to see this? I found it by googling myself (yeah I do that sometimes) just a few days ago. In September 2012 I was a guest at a live broadcast of a local TV Show in Salta, northern Argentina.
