190 - Theo Psaros - Executive Chairman - Metallica Minerals Limited

The mining and resources sector often gets a bad rap when it comes to environmental credentials, but what most people don't realise is that mining is actually critical for many of the emerging technologies that environmentalists are urging us to switch to. Glass for solar panels, for example, doesn't grow on trees. It relies on high-quality silica sands, such as those found at Cape Flattery in Far North Queensland. My guest on the podcast this week, Theo Psaros, is the Executive Chairman of ASX-listed Metallica Minerals Ltd, who made the strategic decision a few years ago to focus soley on silica mining projects. That decision will bear fruit in the next 2-3 years, when they expect to export their first shipment. Theo explains it's a long and careful process. Apart from the obvious logistical concerns, Metallica have also gone to great lengths to build a strong and respectful relationship with the traditional custodians of the land upon which they are working. It's an episode worth playing close attention to, not just for Theo's interesting back story, which includes 10 years behind the scenes of professional rugby and motor sports, with the Queensland Rugby Union and Porsche Motor Sports, but also for Theo's number one tip for raising capital. That one tip alone could be worth millions to you. You're welcome!
