This week’s episode features George McLeod, mining partner at Critical Risk Team, in conversation with host Adrian Pocobelli about the escalating conflict in the Sahel, particularly in Mali and Niger.

McLeod discusses why mining companies can no longer rely on U.S. military support in the same way they once did, and why greater operational independence is becoming essential. He also examines the risk environment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia and Myanmar.


This week’s Spotlight features Hugh Agro, President and CEO of Revival Gold, who discusses the company’s two U.S. gold projects: the Mercur Gold Project in Utah and ongoing exploration at the Beartrack-Arnett Gold Project in Idaho. To learn more, visit: https://revival-gold.com/
