Eric Sprott recently participated in Ramp Metals' private placement ... but why? We talked to Ramp's CEO and VP of exploration to try and figure out what Eric saw in them.

Furthermore, in this episode of Junior Mining Talks, Luc and I talked about what's happening in the rare earth elements market and why they're running. We also discussed a study by S&P Global that showed that the US has the second-longest mine development timeline in the world, at an average of 29 years.
