ON SEPTEMBER 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy made his famous “We choose to go to the Moon” speech at Rice University in Houston, Texas. The speech was meant to persuade the American people to support the effort of NASA to send a manned space flight to the Moon. 53 years later, we are now discussing how to mine the Moon for its bountiful, treasure-trove of untapped rare earth elements. Is the moon ripe for the picking, and if so, what is the payoff? Also this month: while you were doing keg stands and trying to figure out where to go with your life, these young superstars were carving out their future. We break down the youngest and brightest CEOs in the mining industry. Lastly, we examine the impact of two mega mergers expected to get done in 2015. Don’t forget to check out our write-up on businessfriend, a new app aimed at improving collaboration in the mining industry, helping to keep companies and miners stay connected with the people and professionals that matter most.
