Join host Lyndsay Malchuk on Markets and Leaders for a no-nonsense, suit-free conversation with Jared Scharf, CEO of Desert Gold Ventures. In this episode, we cut through the noise and misconceptions surrounding West Africa's mining sector to reveal why the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) has become one of the most compelling and competitive gold jurisdictions today. Jared, with over a decade of boots-on-the-ground experience, explains why the region remains vastly underexplored, how to spot real opportunities beyond the headlines, and what makes the Ivory Coast's current political and regulatory framework a standout. From the untapped potential of the newly acquired Tegba project to the critical importance of community engagement, get an unfiltered, insider’s perspective on the risks, rewards, and seismic shifts happening right now in West African gold exploration.
