Welcome to "Between Two Rocks," the podcast that digs deep into the heart of the mining industry, uncovering the stories, insights, and, yes, the humour behind the hard hats. This series is not your typical industry talk, hosted by Troy Marfleet, Senior Geologist at Axiom Group, and Rob Friesen, VP of Environment.

Imagine two colleagues, one a seasoned geologist, the other an environmental expert, sitting down with the mining world's movers, shakers, and ground-breakers. From the depths of the Earth to the heights of corporate ladders, our hosts navigate the layers of this fascinating industry with a mix of curiosity, expertise, and a hefty dose of comedy. Think of it as the lighter side of mining—less rock hammer, more banter.

In each episode, Troy and Rob sit snugly between their proverbial rocks—not just the sedimentary and igneous types but also the big, tough issues and hard-to-crack topics of the mining world. They'll pick at the strata of their guests' personas, from CEOs to field workers, innovators to historians, exploring their contributions to mining and the human stories behind the safety goggles.

"Between Two Rocks" peels back the layers of the mining sector, revealing its dynamics, challenges, and the often-overlooked human element. Our hosts delve into topics like sustainability, technology, exploration strategies, and environmental impacts while keeping the atmosphere light and accessible. Whether discussing the future of space mining with industry pioneers or the day-to-day grind with frontline workers, Troy and Rob ensure every voice is heard—and occasionally poke fun at themselves.

Listeners will come for the insightful interviews and stay for the chemistry between our hosts – a geologist who can't resist a good rock pun and an environmental VP who's just trying not to get cancelled. It's like sitting around a campfire, if burning questions about the future of mining and the occasional roasted executive fueled that campfire.

Beyond the laughter and stories, "Between Two Rocks" aims to educate and inspire. It's a platform for mentorship, sharing wisdom from seasoned pros, and sparking interest in the next generation of miners and environmental advocates. Each episode serves as a reminder that people at the core of the industry are passionate, hardworking, and often with a good sense of humour.

So, whether you're a mining enthusiast, an environmental advocate, or just someone looking for a fresh take on the industry, tune in to "Between Two Rocks." Join us as we chisel away at the serious, the technical, and the absurd, all nestled snugly between two geological formations, uncovering the human stories in the mining world.
