Explorers Podcast: ACM
Stockhead's 'Garimpeiro' columnist Barry FitzGerald is back in the studio for another instalment of The Explorers Podcast. In this edition, Barry catches up with Australian Critical Minerals (ASX:ACM) managing director Dean de Largie, a company which he thinks has a lot of leverage and multiple re-rating events coming on the horizon. Recent news has been the company's acquisition of advanced Peruvian assets which it considered just too good to pass up, and there are other irons in the ACM fire to keep an eye on as the company gets ready over drill-ready targets it believes have exceptional scope for discovery. This podcast was developed in collaboration with Australian Critical Minerals, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing. The interviews and discussions in this podcast are opinions only and not financial or investment advice. Listeners should obtain independent advice based on their own circumstances before making any financial decisions.
