Coffee with Samso Episode 139 is with Ashok Parekh sharing with us his experience in Kalgoorlie and the activities within the Mineral Resources sector.
Ashok Parekh is an established and well respected identity in the Kalgoorlie community. This is the reason why he is so knowledgeable about the industry. According to Ashok, he has been in Kalgoorlie since 1984 and that is why I sought him out to join us for a Coffee with Samso.
There are not many chances where we get to hear from participants who are well entrenched with the ins and outs of this industry. I have heard of Ashok for many decades but this is the first time I have actually spoken to him.
Ashok is a legend in Kalgoorlie, a legend in the mineral resource industry as well as a legend in the art of deal making in a sector that has more dangerous creatures than the Southern Ocean.
To all those viewers who are investors, this is a great episode to listen to - here is someone who is in the "purple circle". His words of wisdom are priceless. This is a man who has done it all, so I encourage viewers to watch and reach out to Ashok.
