I had a sitdown with Brandon Macdonald, CEO & Founder Fireweed Zinc, on June 17.
In our conversation, Brandon gave me a comprehensive and – what I thought was – a very level-headed overview of the financial trickeries and deceptions that junior mining executives use to enrich themselves.
Brandon also share his opinion on PDAC and whether the conference is worth visiting by small retail investors like myself. Shortly; it depends on the size of your portfolio. “Don’t spend 3% of your portfolio to go there”, Macdonald told me.
