This week we’re joined by Rick Squire, Portfolio Manager of Acorn Capital, to get inside the toolkit he’s built across geology, academia, and global mining finance!

Rick shares the travel and field perspective that most investors never get, after visiting more than a dozen African countries, travelling across South America and more to see assets up close.

We dig into what “risk” really means in resources investing: why countries with established large scale mining industries can permit and operate faster, how bureaucracy and education systems shape timelines, and where corruption or social tension can make even a world class mine a no go.
