In today’s episode, we chat with Sean Wade, CEO of Power Metal Resources, and Ian Freeman, CEO of Minestarters. Sean has been on the show before, and Power Metal has been building momentum with its diverse portfolio and project incubator model. Ian joins us for the first time to introduce Minestarters, a new platform bringing blockchain and tokenisation into the world of mining finance. In this conversation, we’ll cover the progress Power Metal has made since Sean was last on the podcast, Ian’s journey to founding Minestarters, and how the platform is opening up new opportunities for project funding. We’ll also discuss the challenges with traditional mining finance, how this partnership complements Power Metal’s strategy, and what both companies have planned for the months ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS Traditional mining finance is often constrained by a scarcity of capital, high costs, and long lock-up periods for investors, which has hindered the ability of junior miners to get projects funded. MineStarters is a fintech business that uses blockchain and tokenisation to create a decentralised finance (DeFi) network, connecting early-stage mining projects to global capital pools, allowing for 24/7 trading and liquidity. Power Metals' strategy is to continue its project incubator model—finding, developing, and crystalising assets—but with the added fintech dimension of MineStarters The partnership is highly synergistic: Power Metals will invest up to £3 million for up to a 49% equity stake in MineStarters, which will generate revenue through deal and platform fees BEST MOMENTS "The world we've been in and are in is is is tough. It's it's reduced very, very substantially. What this is going to do is going to take our model, existing model, and it's going to develop it further." "What tokenisation allows, through this distributed, um, so decentralised finance network that's enabled by the blockchain, it allows us to take this on-chain capital and bridge to the off-chain real-world asset." "I believe that the MineStarters platform, the business itself, will create a tremendous amount of value. 49% of that will be owned by the Power Metal shareholders." "We are very firmly in the space of the project incubator... The idea is that we get started on the projects, we turn them into a company, IPO that business” VALUABLE RESOURCES Mail: rob@mining-international.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ X: https://twitter.com/MiningRobTyson YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DigDeepTheMiningPodcast Web: http://www.mining-international.org GUEST SOCIALS Power Metal Resources X - https://x.com/PowerMetRes LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/power-metal-resources/ https://www.powermetalresources.com info@powermetalresources.com Minestarters X - https://x.com/minestarters25 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/minestarters/ https://minestarters.com/ https://www.sec.gov/about/sec-launches-project-crypto CONTACT METHOD rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ Podcast Description Rob Tyson is an established recruiter in the mining and quarrying sector and decided to produce the “Dig Deep” The Mining Podcast to provide valuable and informative content around the mining industry.
