$TMIN.CN #copper #zinc #silver #gold #uranium #tungsten #cobalt 🇳🇴 #Mineral #exploration is a high-risk business. Yet, the companies behind it are often managed very conservatively. Sticking to well-trodden paths is the equivalent to twinning drill holes: sometimes it makes sense, but often the approach differs little from what other companies have already done before you. There is a risk that it becomes a case of style over substance. Win in the short term, but lose in the long term. When we looked at #Finland, #Sweden, and even our former home of British Columbia, we encountered many familiar paths. Some were very promising or even of proven quality - but someone was already sitting on top of them. Should a tiny company like ours venture into this? Then we turned our attention to #Norway. And we saw a nation that had forgotten its old paths, but kept all the historic signposts well maintained in a public database. We saw open doors everywhere, but no one was lining up to enter. And we asked ourselves a special question: Did this offer a unique opportunity to strategically position a small company like @TeakoMinerals so that we could control a significant share of the resource potential in a country primed for a revival of its mining sector? As we all know today, our answer was: Yes. So we did what we did because we could. We forged our own paths to make a real difference, to create something meaningful.

#Mineral #exploration often appears so abstract and subjective that it frequently thrives or dies on the stories surrounding it. Having the chance to be part of a company from the very beginning and to shape its development can turn into something more than just a job - it can become a genuine part of your life. With all the good and difficult things attached to it, and regardless of our past, current or future roles. There are companies outside our industry with great founding stories - like those that started in a garage. Our Teako story began years ago on a few sheets of paper in a cabin by a Norwegian fjord (just the way it should be, right?). That’s where Mark @Mk1Invest and I sat together, exchanging ideas freely and casually about mineral exploration and #mining. In the years that followed, we met fascinating people and discovered impressive places in #Norway; we made decisions that shaped @TeakoMinerals and gained a wealth of diverse experiences. I cannot say it was easy, and I will definitely not say we were right at all times. We’ve tried to tell our story - in personal conversations, in video calls with people from around the world, and on social media. To us, it felt authentic, important, and transparent. Then we met @we_are_outliers. We realized we could tell our story even better - from a fresh perspective, without compromising what matters most to us: remaining true to our co-owners and stakeholders. No forced smiles. No artificial optimism. Just the full, authentic experience. We love exploration. We love Norway. And this is our story. youtube.com/watch?v=XFDdQLfN… teakominerals.com/
