Mineral Resources: Unearthing Value - [Business Breakdowns, EP.172]
Show notes
This is Matt Reustle. Today, we are breaking down Mineral Resources. Even if you've had some bad experiences investing in commodities, I would not skip over this one so quickly. Fraser Christie, investor at TDM Growth Partners, joined me to talk about how MinRes has taken a different approach to the historically cyclical boom-bust industry. We walk through the increasingly vertical integration of Mineral Resources' business and we get into some of the thoughtful capital allocation that has taken place through this history. It's a very fun business with a very fun founder who still remains a key player. Please enjoy this breakdown of Mineral Resources. Register for the Business Breakdowns x Founders Conference.
