About this episode
Where are we in the mining cycle? That’s the question we look to answer today.
Hedley Widdup joins us to discuss his views on the current mining boom, which is slowly revealing itself, as well as a raft of other topics, including:
• Whether juniors or producers are next to run
• The buy vs build debate
• What the IPO market is telling us
• How the majors can reinvent themselves
We hope you enjoy the yarn!
