Yesterday I had Jordan Webster (Geólogo Trader 🇦🇺) on the podcast for the first time to discuss Andina Copper, where he is VP of Technical Communications. He has a background as a geologist in Australia before moving to Argentina several years ago. We got into each of the company’s assets and the exploration plans they have, along with some of the recent drill results and assays that are pending. We also talked about the recent financing that was upsized. You can find Jordan’s Substack below, but he’s also worth a follow on Twitter. The podcast will be available to everyone on Sunday morning.
