Ep 41: Ore to Ownership Bridging Mines and Money
About this episode
👤Sam Siebenaler, CEO of Precision Mineral Accounting
🎙️Lindsey Schultz, CEO of MRC Recruiting
Host Lindsey Schultz welcomes Sam Siebenaler, founder of Precision Mineral Accounting, to unpack the hidden world where ore becomes dollars. Sam traces his path from the Signal Corps to Newmont, then to PMA, explaining how bridging mine production data, metallurgical balance, and finance uncovers errors, clarifies contracts, and ensures royalty payees get what they are owed. They explore chain of custody, shared mills, tailings reprocessing, and why old agreements, geopolitics, and smelting bottlenecks shape today's deals. Sam shares pragmatic entrepreneurial lessons, leadership mindsets, and hiring insights, plus real talk on diversity, public perception, and student networking. Actionable takeaway, verify payments tied to minerals, define ownership before reprocessing, and ask the hard questions your contract allows.
