Pierre Lassonde receives Northern Miner Lifetime Achievement Award

This week’s episode features Pierre Lassonde, co-founder of Franco-Nevada, as he receives The Northern Miner Lifetime Achievement Award for pioneering the modern royalty model and helping reshape mine finance. Lassonde delivers an acceptance speech and then sits down with Anthony Vaccaro, President of The Northern Miner Group, to reflect on key moments from his career. He also explains how his personal motto—carpe diem—led to the most consequential deal of his life: acquiring the royalty on Barrick Gold’s Goldstrike asset. All this and more with host Adrian Pocobelli. This week’s Spotlight features Frederick Earnest, President and CEO of Vista Gold, who discusses the company’s Mt Todd gold project in Australia and what lies ahead for the company.
