Skip to 18:30 for the best three minutes — where the conversation turns to what the next wave of lithium explorers entering South America consistently get wrong, and how the brine beneath a salar actually behaves across concession boundaries.
In this episode of the Diaspora.nz podcast, David Booth talks with Clint about the journey from a Waihi dairy farm to running the world's largest independent lithium brine services company. The conversation covers Zelandez's work across Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia, the realities of lithium brine exploration, and what the next wave of explorers entering the space need to know.
They also discuss SaferMe (formerly ThunderMaps), the transition from safety tech to mining services, and what it's like building specialist companies from New Zealand while operating globally.
