This week’s episode features Pat Risner, President of South32 Hermosa, in conversation with host Adrian Pocobelli about the company’s Hermosa project in Arizona.

Risner discusses how the project has benefited from the U.S. FAST-41 permitting framework, South32’s approach to earning and maintaining its social licence to operate, and the role automation will play in the mine’s development. He also examines the challenges posed by cost inflation and how rising costs are influencing the project’s economics and long-term planning.

All this and more with host Adrian Pocobelli.
