In this episode, we chat with Peter Bird, Managing Director & CEO of Akora Resources, an exploration company engaged in the exploration and development of a number of iron ore prospects in Madagascar
We explore the company’s journey and its positioning within the evolving iron ore and broader critical minerals space, and discuss Akora’s core value proposition, what sets it apart in a competitive market, and the key milestones that lie ahead as the business continues to develop.
We’ll also take a deeper look into Peter’s own career, his early foundations in mining, his experience at the highest levels of corporate and investment banking, and how that has shaped his leadership across global mining operations.
Finally, we’ll touch on some of the themes that underpin the industry itself, from the importance of people and culture to mining’s role as a highly technical, innovative sector that continues to support modern life while striving to meet growing environmental and community expectations.
