The Mining CEO Behind Two Major Exits Starts Again - George Ogilvie

George Ogilvie, the new CEO of Hercules Metals, joins Trevor Hall for an in-depth conversation on the playbook behind building value in junior mining companies—and why he believes Hercules Metals and its Leviathan copper discovery in Idaho could be his next major success.

Ogilvie reflects on more than three decades in mining and the lessons behind two notable exits: rebuilding Rubicon Minerals into Battle North Gold before its acquisition by Evolution Mining, and advancing Arizona Sonoran Copper’s Cactus project before its acquisition by Hudbay. He explains how he evaluates geology, infrastructure, jurisdiction, permitting, capital allocation and management—and why knowing when to sell can be just as important as knowing how to build.

The conversation then turns to Hercules Metals and the Leviathan copper porphyry discovery in Idaho. George explains what attracted his team to the project, why exploration will initially become more focused on Leviathan, and how additional drill rigs could accelerate both resource definition and news flow. With only a portion of Hercules' large land package explored, George discusses the potential scale of the system and why proving up a new U.S. copper district could define the next chapter of his career.

The discussion also covers the realities of junior mining promotion, why management teams sometimes stay too long, the importance of matching leadership skills to each stage of mine development, and George's framework for deciding when shareholders are better served by accepting an acquisition rather than continuing independently.
