Exclusive interviews with mining industry experts and insiders hosted by Janet Sheriff.
About the Host:
Armed with a great degree from a top university, Janet had a crazy idea to pass up on a traditional career and instead headed to the cold and at times dangerous North of Yukon/Alaska to pay off her student loan. Once there she worked extensively with rural First Nation communities bringing her into the predominantly male world of mining along with an introduction to its diverse individuals and a world where only the strongest survive. After years of living and working in the North, Janet is now seeking gold in Canada’s Newfoundland while also working in the USA to create environmentally friendly gold extraction technology. She and her husband Bill, a leading figure in the uranium industry, live in the USA while pursuing business interests across North America.
