Episode description

This episode, Candice and Felicity dive into the world of cleaner fuel alternatives and the incredible potential of uranium! They're thrilled to have John Borshoff as our guest, a mining executive and geologist with over four decades of uranium industry experience. Did you know that a single pellet of uranium can produce the same amount of electricity as one ton of coal, three barrels of oil, or 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas?

John began his career with German uranium miner Uranerz, where he worked for 17 years before founding Paladin Energy Ltd in 1993. Under his leadership, Paladin grew from a junior explorer to a multi-mine uranium producer valued at over US$5 billion. John spearheaded the development of the first two conventional uranium mines in two decades, and oversaw numerous successful market transactions before leaving Paladin in 2015.

With a Bachelor of Science in Geology from the University of Western Australia, John is a Fellow of both the Australian Institute of Company Directors and the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. He serves as a member of the Uranium Forum within the Minerals Council of Australia and sits on the Council of the Namibian Chamber of Mines. This is the first part in a two-episode series on uranium, when we learn about its crucial role in our quest for clean energy.
