Notable quotes

“I think that we're super different from the traditionals. It doesn't mean that they're not interesting companies in the same direction, right? We are not unique. There are few others. The mining industry has accumulated over the decades. It's a highly centralized decision making process in corporate and it's senior managers, full of hierarchical levels, full of power science, beautiful offices, nice cars, private jet”

“I think Bitcoin is an interesting case. I like the case of Bitcoin. It has parallels to gold in terms of scarcity limitation. You cannot issue more gold, it is possible to produce much more that we are producing. So there are interesting similarities and room for both. Of course, gold is a way ahead of Bitcoin in terms of value. Gold is now $30 trillion. Bitcoin perhaps a little bit over a trillion. And Bitcoin, if y”

We believe we can have the potential to continue to grow our resource and reserves while we've been able also to grow production. We came from back in 2017 operations. Now we have six operations plus two projects to be developed in”

“I think there are two things present today that I don't see as radically reversible, that should keep the price of gold high, if it doesn't increase, right? The first is that with the consequences of the war between Ukraine and Russia, the world blocked all of Russia's dollar assets. So Russia today has more than 300 billion dollars confiscated by all the other countries. Even Switzerland, which has always been very ”
