GOLD TELEGRAPH CONVERSATION #8 JOHN MCCLUSKEY
“There’s no question that gold is under accumulation now and the market is shifting from West to East.”
For our 8th conversation, I’m joined by John McCluskey, CEO of Alamos Gold (@AlamosGoldInc), as we cover a wide range of topics including the early days of building Alamos and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
Alamos is now valued at ~$15 billion CAD, but it started with humble beginnings. John shared a story of when the company was worth just $30 million and how it was an uphill battle to convince investors of the value that Mulatos represented.
We also dive into:
• Leadership insights from decades in the mining industry
• His views on the gold market and the shift of gold from West to East
• The critical importance of exploration for the future of mining
A big thank you to John for sharing his time and perspective.
I hope you all enjoy the conversation.
