“I think it is definitely good timing to get involved in vanadium, but also you would not see myself if I were to be in a conflict area. I have spent most of my career in conflict areas when I was working with Barrick Gold for many years. I definitely prefer to be either in Canada or the U.S.” States Gerald Panneton, President and CEO of Prophecy Development Corp. (TSX: PCY | OTCQX: PRPCF), in an interview with InvestorIntel Corp. CEO Tracy Weslosky.
Tracy Weslosky: Prophecy Development Corporation, their mandate is to seek vanadium properties that are in conflict free areas in the planet. Is that correct?
Gerald Panneton: I think it is definitely good timing to get involved in vanadium, but also you would not see myself if I were to be in a conflict area. I have spent most of my career in conflict areas when I was working with Barrick Gold for many years. I definitely prefer to be either in Canada or the U.S.
Tracy Weslosky: That is a great segue for asking you, with your significant professional career you have just accepted the role as CEO and President for Prophecy Development. Can you tell me why you would take this role at this point in your career? We as shareholders want to know Gerald.
Gerald Panneton: It is very simple. I am a shareholder too. More importantly is that I have already built three mines during my career; two at Barrick and one with the Detour Lake project. You do not join a company because you just want to join a company. There must be a reason. The main reason is that Prophecy Development or PCY ticker is undervalued, tremendously undervalued compared to the value of the vanadium deposit. Of course it is subject to the vanadium price.
Tracy Weslosky: Alright so let us discuss vanadium prices. For those of you out at InvestorIntel who are not familiar with how hot vanadium is right now you should check our trending section. Vanadium continues to be one of the most well-read topics that we are covering presently. There are not a lot of real players out there in the vanadium market, are there Gerald?
