Where mining meets equity markets, and noise gets cut to signal. We unpack the stories moving commodities, companies, and capital without the fluff. Featuring candid conversations with fund managers, executives, and commodity specialists. Hosted by Travis Ricciardo and Jonas Dorling.
We’re mixing it up today with a different kind of episode featuring a Money of Mine favourite, Sean Russo.
Sean’s a fountain of market & mining knowledge, and we tap into it to uncover:
• What history teaches us about how to play gold • The key ratios that really matter and what they’re screaming right now • The global forces driving gold higher
Plus, plenty more insight, stories and sharp takes from one of the industry’s best.
This was recorded on 4.11.2025.
