The Sunnyside Project - with Rick Trotman - a podcast by Rob Tyson
from 2023-06-04T23:00
In the episode we chat to Rick Trotman, President and CEO of Barksdale Resources, a junior miner who are acquiring, exploring, and de-risking high quality precious and base metal projects in the Americas and have assets in southern Arizona, and Mexico.
Rick is a geologist by background working for the likes of Barrick and Yamana Gold before moving into securities and private equity before taking the helm at Barksdale Resources over 5 years ago. He talks about their exciting Sunnyside project which is in the same region as South32’s Taylor Hermosa project and what the company has to offer from an investment prospective.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Working in and around the finance sector can be invaluable in mining, as it helps to understand the investment point of view.
- Barskdale is abase metal exploration company focussed primarily in the desert of the south west and Northern Mexico.
- Having a co-mining neighbour that is aggressive on spending and pushing a project towards development is key to achieving purposes and goals.
- People are at the heart of mining, which means that inevitably, politics matter at some point in the life of any project.
BEST MOMENTS
'I like to solve puzzles and look for things'
'We're looking for poly-metallic deposits'
'This is one of the key assets in the Americas'
'Each dollar you put into the ground de-risks the whole district'
