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 Molaoi is worth hearing. David found it by sorting a database of 750 European deposits by zinc grade and tonnage. Molaoi topped both. Then in 2022 he had historical core assayed for germanium, a metal China controls around 85% of, and the first samples came back at 149 g/t.In this episode, David covers the path from PNG to the Peloponnese, why time spent underground shaped how he explores, what the Greek government told him about community relations 25 years ago, and how Rockfire puts that advice into practice today. He also sets out the plan: drilling through 2026, feasibility from 2027, and long-lead studies already underway to compress the timeline.A conversation with a geologist who has seen the whole cycle, several times over.
