Jeff Phillips, President of Global Market Development, and an activist investor in the junior resource space, joins me for a behind-the-scenes look at how he evaluates opportunities in mining stocks and the types of management teams and share structure that he likes to see to participate in their financings.

In this conversation we cover a lot of ground from gold, silver, and copper explorers and prospect generators, to reviewing past wins and current cycles with rare earths, lithium, and PGM companies. Jeff states that we have left the “lazy river” stages of the resource sector and have been entering into the more exciting ride of a larger commodities bull market.

Jeff has been involved in the natural resource space for the last three decades, and is a large strategic shareholder of over a dozen junior companies, and still a significant shareholder in a number of other mining stocks. Jeff also serves as a technical consultant and advisor to several companies in the junior resource space, working on improving their messaging to the marketplace, roster of investors, and liquidity. Even though he doesn’t do many public-facing interviews or write in widely followed publications, Jeff is one of the most influential and well-respected people in the business. You’ll often see him hard at work at mining conferences, doing his due diligence and connecting people to one another.
