Hearts & Mines

In this episode of Hearts & Mines, David sits down with Julissa Shrewsbury, founder and managing director of New Work Consulting, to explore a side of mining leadership that rarely gets airtime: identity. Julissa helps leaders and organisations close the gap between the brand a business claims and the way its people actually show up, and she works closely with the resources sector.
 
This is a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about what leadership brand really means, why so many technically brilliant mining leaders struggle with the human side of the role, how AI slop is quietly eroding trust, and why the leaders of the future will need to be, in Julissa's words, demonstrably human. A warm and insightful discussion about authenticity, self-awareness, and the power of showing people what they are truly capable of.

In this episode of Hearts & Mines, David is joined by Matthew Allen. A self-described "reformed oil and gas guy" and accountant by training, Matthew has spent his career deliberately stepping out of big-company comfort and into junior explorers and developers across oil and gas, rare earths, lithium and now silver, working on every continent along the way. He currently leads the restart of the historic Cerro Bayo silver-gold mine in southern Chile. This is a candid conversation about what genuine leadership looks like in small companies where there are no egos and everyone has to row in the same direction. Matthew and David explore why failure is the best teacher, why humility and authenticity matter more than authority, the challenge of selling mining as a career to the next generation, operating responsibly in remote South American communities, and where AI is genuinely reshaping how a small-cap miner works. A warm, generous and thoughtful discussion from a leader who has never been afraid to take on a challenge.

In this episode of Hearts & Mines, David is joined by co-host Stuart Chandler to speak with Brendan Tritton, MD and CEO of Valiant Gold. A country kid from WA turned mining engineer, Brendan has moved from underground crews to the private sector and now into the public arena, leading the restart of the Comet and Reedy gold operations spun out of Westgold.
This is a candid, wide-ranging conversation about what genuine leadership looks like at the helm of a newly listed junior, why connecting with people as humans comes before strategy, and how to manage complexity and uncertainty when you are building systems and culture from scratch. Brendan shares the "prove you wrong" moment that shaped his drive, the value of vulnerability and servant leadership, and why 80% is sometimes good enough to keep momentum. A genuinely warm and insightful conversation from one of WA's emerging mining leaders.

In this episode of Hearts & Minds, David is joined by Sara Prendergast, Chief Financial Officer of ASX-listed gold producer St Barbara. Sara's finance career has spanned Gold Fields, Xstrata, BHP Billiton, Glencore and Orica, taking her through remote mining towns across Western Australia and Queensland before landing her at the top of St Barbara's finance function, where she's steered the company through a major restructure, selling its Leonora asset to Genesis Minerals and refocusing on projects in Papua New Guinea and Nova Scotia.
This is a candid conversation about the formative experiences that shaped Sara as a leader, from a challenging childhood in regional Victoria to a dyslexia diagnosis at university that changed the trajectory of her academic and professional life. Sara talks openly about leading through ambiguity, why authenticity matters more than natural charisma for introverted leaders, how she screens for resilience when hiring, and what the mining industry needs to do to inspire the next generation into a career in resources. Sara was named an Exceptional Woman in Mining by the Minerals Council of Australia and one of the Top 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining.

In this episode of Hearts & Minds, David is joined by Alex Rovira, Managing Director of Brightstar Resources. A former professional rugby player and investment banker at Canaccord, Alex made the leap from advising mining companies to running one, and in just three and a half years has grown Brightstar from a handful of employees to a company with a resource base of roughly four million gold ounces, on track to become a mid-tier producer.
This is a wide-ranging conversation about the courage required to build a business from near-nothing, the value of vulnerability and self-awareness at the top, and why "no cowards ever make history." Alex opens up on Brightstar's five core values, how the company competes for talent against the majors, using AI responsibly in a fast-moving business, and the toughest issues facing Australian mining today. David and Alex also swap notes on the art of assessing character when hiring, and Alex turns the tables to ask David how he reads people in a search process.

In this episode of Hearts & Mines, David Beilby speaks with Marnie Finlayson, Managing Director of ASX-listed uranium explorer DevEx Resources. A minerals processing engineer by training, Marnie spent 17 years at Rio Tinto across iron ore, gold, uranium, battery metals and rare earths, culminating in the role of Managing Director of the company's battery materials business, and played a key role in implementing recommendations from Rio's landmark workplace culture review.
This is a candid, high-energy conversation covering Marnie's upbringing on a remote sheep station north of Kalgoorlie, why she walked away from a major ASX company to build a junior uranium explorer from scratch, what authentic leadership really looks like at the top, and how AI has become a genuine part of her leadership team. A warm, honest conversation from one of WA's rising resource sector leaders.

In this episode of Hearts & Mines, David sits down with Allan Feinberg, MD of Remsmart, a remuneration and reward strategy consultant with more than 20 years of experience advising boards, REM committees, and HR executives with a particular focus on the mining industry.
Far more than a conversation about pay structures, this is a masterclass in understanding what truly drives people, builds trust, and shapes culture inside resource companies. Allan unpacks why mining remuneration is fundamentally different from every other industry, how poorly designed incentive plans can quietly destroy a culture, and why the difference between an incentive and a retention plan matters far more than most boards realise. He also shares refreshingly candid reflections on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and what it really takes to show up well as a consultant and as a leader. Whether you work in mining, people management, or any business where relationships are the currency, there's something here for you. #

In this episode of Hearts & Mines, David sits down with Darren Stralow, MD & CEO of Bellevue Gold. Over four years, Darren has led Bellevue through one of the most ambitious journeys in modern Australian mining, from exploration project to the world's first net zero gold producer, built from the ground up as a single-asset company. Far more than a gold story, this conversation is a masterclass in leadership, culture, resilience and people. Darren reflects candidly on navigating the inevitable challenges of building a mine, what it really takes to retain and inspire a high-performing team, the dance floor versus balcony philosophy of great leadership, and why doing the right thing by the environment turned out to be brilliant business. Whether you work in mining, resources, or any people-driven organisation, the lessons here are universal.
