In this episode of Money of Mine, we had the great pleasure of interviewing Allan Trench. Allan was kind enough to give us a shout-out in his latest Strictly Boardroom column, which he has written along with John Sykes for nearly 2 decades.

The article, titled “Five Rules of Resources Sector Investing” is the premise of our discussion today, from which we expand upon Allan’s extensive expertise as well as many great stories & anecdotes. Throughout his career Allan has held key roles in notable mining and resources companies, contributing to the exploration and management of nickel, gold, and base metal projects.
