Capital Ideas TV, Episode 23: CEOs of Pine Point, U.S. Cobalt, Greenbriar, Organic Garage and VIQ.

Episode Description

Capital Ideas Media publisher talks to veteran miner Kerry Knoll, who has the magic touch having developed companies that became Goldcorp, B2Gold and Thompson Creek Metals, which got taken out last year for $1.1 billion. Knoll’s latest project is Pine Point Mining (ZINC-V), which is developing a large past producing zinc mine in the N.W.T.

We speak to Wayne Tisdale, the CEO of U.S. Cobalt (USCO-V), which is developing a high-grade mine in the Idaho cobalt belt. The company has the lithium ion battery market squarely in its sights.

We also talk to Jeff Ciachurski, who sold his previous venture, Western Wind, for more than $400 million. Now, he’s building out another renewable energy company in Greenbriar Capital (GRB-V).

We catch up with the founder of Organic Garage (OG-V), Matt Lurie, at the company’s Liberty Village location due to open next summer. Set in one of North America’s most densely populated and demographically attractive areas, this store looks like a gold mine and should meaningfully move the revenue and earnings needles.

Plus, a lot of companies talk about AI because it’s buzzy but VIQ Solutions (VIQ-V) is the real deal. See our conversation with CEO Sebastien Pare.
