In this episode, we chat with Mostafa Talaat, CEO of Ankh Resources, a company gaining attention for its exploration success at the Wadi Dara project in Egypt.

With recent drilling and trenching delivering encouraging gold-copper results, Ankh Resources is positioning itself at the forefront of Egypt’s re-emerging mining sector. Mostafa brings extensive experience in the region, combining strong technical expertise with a clear vision for building a modern exploration company.

In this conversation, we’ll explore the potential of Wadi Dara, the broader opportunity in Egypt, and how exploration companies like Ankh are navigating the path from discovery to development.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Ankh Resources is leveraging a homegrown expert team to navigate Egypt’s new mining code and accelerate the transition from discovery to development.
The Wadi Dara project has yielded significant high-grade gold and copper results, including a recent drill hole showing 102 meters of continuous mineralization.
Egypt’s strategic location and established oil and gas infrastructure provide unique logistical advantages, such as the 7-to-7 to Dara accessibility from Cairo.
The Egyptian government is actively working to increase the mining sector's contribution to the GDP from 1% to 5% through improved fiscal terms and international promotion.

BEST MOMENTS

"I was lucky to join the industry at that exciting time for Egypt's first gold mining history... in the modern history."

"We are lucky that so far our drill rate success is like almost 100%... the results are bringing back better than what we expect them to find."

"Egypt offers a North Africa stable region with a fresh mining code built for attracting investments and serious mining investors."

"You can’t complete the AI technology required, you can’t go into the green energy transformation required, all this without having enough copper supply."
