Bryan Quinn: Realities of running a mid-cap company
- 13 December 2025
Bryan Quinn, Managing Director of Aurelia Metals unpacks what it’s really like stepping out of big mining and into the driver’s seat of a mid-cap resource company. Bryan shares the lessons he learned moving from large, global firms to running a mid-cap miner – where capital allocation, operational discipline and decision-making hit very differently. We explore how Aurelia is positioning itself for the next phase of base metals growth, why these commodities matter in a changing global economy, and how leadership looks when every decision truly counts. We also chat about their key asset in the Cobar Basin – one of Australia’s most prospective and under-appreciated mineral districts – discussing its geology, infrastructure advantages, and why it remains central to Aurelia’s long-term strategy. If you’re interested in mining, commodities, or what it takes to lead a resource company through cycles of volatility and opportunity, this episode offers a rare, on-the-ground perspective.
