Episode 47: Dr. Copper and the Finnish flash ft. Mickey Fulp

Matt and Lesley are on-location in downtown Vancouver for a broad-ranging interview with the Mercenary Geologist, Mickey Fulp. Matt digs into recent copper-supply issues related to labour disputes at BHP Billiton's (NYSE: BHP; LON: BLT) Escondida mega mine in the Atacama Desert in the Antofagasta Region of Chile. Mickey discusses improving copper prices and his investment thesis for the red metal moving forward. We get into potential development-stage copper assets, including Northern Dynasty Minerals' (TSX: NDM; NYSE-MKT: NAK) large-scale Pebble asset in Alaska. Meanwhile, the Geology Corner focuses in on recent exploration news out of Finland and its potential as an emerging gold camp. Lesley and Mickey talk Aurion Resources (TSXV: AU; US-OTC: AIRRF) and Mawson Resources (TSX: MAW; US-OTC: MWSND). Bonus: Mickey recounts his experience almost falling in the mire during a site visit to Finland.
