We had the delight of sitting down with Ahmad Saleem for a cracking discussion on everything exploration.

Ahmad is a master of many trades. He’s a geologist, he’s started numerous businesses in data mining and analytics and has worked in resources private equity amongst many roles.

We talked about whether the funding model for juniors is broken, what filters to use for exploration co’s, big red flags, what discovery means, whether exploration targets are red flags and plenty more.
