  • Why the World’s Biggest Funds Get Mining Wrong (David Sparks)

    Why the World’s Biggest Funds Get Mining Wrong (David Sparks)
    Jul 8 2025

    We’ve got the pleasure of sharing a conversation with David Sparks — an investor in the natural resources world with experience at some of the world’s biggest hedge funds, including the famed multi-strat firm Millennium, as well as BBT and Exodus Point.


    In this episode, we unpack why investing in mining from a pod shop is often a flawed strategy, how these firms came to dominate the market, and what it actually means when a pod “blows up.”

    David also shares his picks for the most impressive management teams in global mining and plenty more along the way.


    We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.

    Paladin’s CEO Exit: Cause for Concern?
    Jun 26 2025

    To kick things off today we pick apart Paladin’s announcement that CEO Ian Purdy will step down and look at what the future could hold for the uranium miner.

    We then venture to West Africa where Predictive shared their DFS numbers on the Bankan project, leading us to speculate who will make an approach for the developer.

    Rounding off, we discuss the news that Astron & EnergyFuels received regulatory approvals in Victoria of all places as well as the announcement that Wildcat will embark on a share buyback.

    Hostile M&A is back! Kinterra Capital and CAML are going head-to-head in their quest to take out New World Resources, giving us no shortage of enjoyment.

    We also picked up on a chunky financing package for Asante Gold, who has secured ~US$500m+ to make their Ghanaian gold mining dreams a reality. Could there be an opportunity in the recapitalisation?

    Rare Earths Reality: Hype vs Hope with 3 Experts
    Jun 15 2025
    We have been struggling to make sense of the headlines in the rare earths market lately. What's relevent? What's real? Why do the equities make no sense?To piece it together, we've pulled together a conversation with 3 very insightful people that cover the sector: Thomas Kruemmer (of The Rare Earth Observer), Sustainable Dude, and Dylan Kelly (DK) of Terra Capital. The discussion covers the geopolitical tensions impacting the market, China's dominant role and export restrictions, environmental and regulatory challenges, and the intricacies of the rare earth supply chain from mining to end-use products. Plus, will clays ever work in the west?
