In today’s episode, we're joined by Brad Valiukas, Managing Director of Kaiser Reef, an Australian gold producer with operations in Victoria and Tasmania.
We talk about Brad’s journey from his early days on site to leading Kaiser Reef, what’s driving the company forward, and his views on gold in today’s market. We’ll also discuss how his hands-on experience has shaped his leadership and what advice he’d give to the next generation of mining professionals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Broad, hands-on experience in every part of a mining operation is essential, as it helps professionals apply knowledge and understand the needs of their internal "customers".
- Working for a mining contractor in Australia is strongly recommended early in a career, as it provides diverse experience and helps disseminate good practices throughout the industry.
- Career success requires a desire to grow and continuously push forward, with a mindset of never being content because every single operation is depleting a resource.
- When faced with the global financial and geopolitical issues currently impacting the gold market, Kaiser Reef maintains a conservative view on gold price while aiming for maximum exposure to potential price upside.
BEST MOMENTS
"I always try and get through to everybody is learn every part of the operation."
"The contracting industry in Australia is so strong and it's such a big driver for the success."
"We never, never ever sitting back in terms of putting eight operations online, basically in eight years, never ever sitting back and saying, right, that's enough, we're in a comfortable position now."
"Think of yourself as a mining professional. So you might have an expertise in geology or engineering or surveying or geotech. You know, try and try and let go of that a little bit."
