Out of the GRND is the podcast for retail investors trying to make sense of the junior resource exploration sector.
Each episode is a candid conversation with the people who actually know the ground: geologists, company directors, and analysts who can explain what's really going on at the projects, in the boardrooms, and across the markets. The questions retail investors want answered, asked without the usual filter.
No jargon. No gatekeeping. No pretending the listener should already know how a drill programme works or what a JORC resource is. Just clear, honest conversations from people willing to share what they know.
Out of the GRND also publishes detailed company reviews and plain-language guides on exploration fundamentals and risk management. Everything is free. Email subscribers get new releases 24 hours early.
One thing worth repeating before you press play: junior resource exploration is a high-risk sector with sharp moves in share prices, and contributors may hold shares in companies discussed. Always do your own research.

Taylor Sulik started Mithril Mining without a mining background, without a geology background, and without a project. What he did have was a US Coast Guard intelligence career and a fairly methodical way of working through a problem. In late 2023 he took the USGS critical minerals list and built a scoring framework around it. Had America produced this before? Was there defence demand and commercial demand? Were there unclaimed deposits? What land status were they on? Tungsten came out on top,...

David Price - Rockfire Resources Plc
David Price has spent four decades finding mines. His career started the day after his final exams, when Robertson Research put him on a plane to Papua New Guinea to hunt for gold from a helicopter. Since then he has drilled out some of Australia's best known deposits, built and sold gold projects in Fiji and Austria, run an explorer in China, and grown a Greek gold resource from 100,000 ounces to over a million. Now he is back in Greece as CEO of Rockfire Resources, and the story behind Mola...

Paul Johnson
Tungsten, germanium, oil, biofuels, tailings. Plenty of ground covered in this one. Paul Johnson joins Out of the GRND for a wide-ranging conversation on the junior resource sector and four companies worth a closer look. Paul is the founder and former CEO of Power Metal Resources, and has spent many years working across AIM-listed mining and exploration businesses. The conversation starts with his read on the current market and where sentiment sits in critical minerals, before moving into spe...

Darren Hazelwood - Panther Metals Plc
Before Darren Hazelwood was the CEO of Panther Metals, he was a retail investor. That background still shapes how he runs the company. Videos on every RNS, regular podcasts, AGM appearances where he stays around afterwards to chat with shareholders. The story he's running is one of the more compelling on AIM right now. Panther owns the historic Winston Lake site in Ontario, a former zinc mine that closed in 1998 when low prices made it uneconomic. The waste left behind is the asset. Recent vi...
