Miners Need To Go Back To Basics If They Want To Beat Gold - CEO
May 18, 2017
Guest(s): Ian Ball CEO, Abitibi Royalties

Aiming to be known as a disrupter in the industry — or the ‘Uber’ CEO of mining — Ball said it’s time for innovative thinking in the industry, especially if the miners want to outperform the gold price.
