Meet The Greatest Mining Promoter Of Our Era At His Best At Last Week’s PDAC TORONTO – Ivanplats Robert Friedland needs no introduction. For one, he is North America’s greatest mining showman. Second, he is almost surely a billionaire. Third, he is a miner’s mining exec. “He knows his metals, and his black box works,” platinum prospector and Ivanplats board member William Hayden told me the other day over fizzy water evening drinks in Medellin, Colombia. Mr. Friedland’s Ivanplats (IVP in Canada) spiders a web of platinum-nickel-copper-zinc-&-gold across South Africa and Democratic Republic of Congo. The IVP web starts near the top of southern Africa’s patriarchy with board member Cyril Ramaphosa, who conceivably could become president of the Republic of South Africa. Here, for the first time, is the first half of Mr. Friedland’s showmanship from Toronto’s PDAC prospectors’ convention from last week. His was a lively 26-minute affair, laced with racy references and put-downs of competitor miners. This report contains entirely accurate quotations, with little need for comment. Before the Toronto event, I greeted a vibrant yet thin Mr. Friedland, who said, when asked about his demeanor, replied, “I’m lovely, just lovely.” The first half of the billed seminar for the public centered on platinum and the Platreef’s Flatreef. ceo.ca
