Stockhead’s ‘Garimpeiro’ columnist Barry FitzGerald is back in the studio for another instalment of The Explorers Podcast.

In this episode, Barry chats with Vertex Minerals (ASX:VTX) executive chairman Roger Jackson, who is now making that pivotal switch to production from the Reward gold mine in the firing Lachlan Ford Belt of New South Wales.

While the rocks are relatively simple, there’s a lot that goes into making a mine, so tune into listen about quartz, lasers, underground rigs, the psychology of gold, and how Vertex itself is being used as an advertisement as it moves ever closer to its seminal sale and beyond into high-grade mining.

This podcast was developed in collaboration with Vertex Minerals, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing.

The interviews and discussions in this podcast are opinions only and not financial or investment advice. Listeners should obtain independent advice based on their own circumstances before making any financial decisions.
