ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if the next great gold mine isn't buried beneath the Earth - but sitting inside the old smartphones, computers, and circuit boards we've already thrown away?
Today, we're joined by Jeet Basi, President and CEO of Modern Mining ( https://modernmining.com/ ), a resource recovery company focused on extracting valuable metals from electronic waste. Modern Mining just went public and began trading on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “MDRN” on November 13, 2026.
Using proprietary water-based processing technologies, Modern Mining aims to recover precious and commodity metals, including gold, palladium, silver, copper, and potentially 30 additional metals. By transforming discarded electronics into valuable resources, the company is developing an alternative to traditional mining.
Jeet brings nearly 20 years of experience in mining, mineral processing, project development, and strategic advisory roles. Before joining Modern Mining, he was a principal consultant at SVK Metrix and held technical leadership positions at Newmont, Goldcorp, and Teck Resources. He holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Mining and Mineral Process Engineering from the University of British Columbia, with a minor in Commerce.
In this interview, we explore how traditional mining works, the opportunity in electronic waste, the technology and economics behind recovering valuable metals, and whether urban mining could become a meaningful part of the world's future metals supply chain.
