Welcome to the latest episode of On the Couch.
In this episode, Henry Jennings is joined by Dr Francis Wedin, Chair of Vulcan Energy (ASX: VUL). A long-time friend of the podcast, Francis founded Vulcan around seven years ago. He was previously Executive Director of ASX-listed Exore Resources, where he successfully developed two new lithium resources across two continents.
Vulcan Energy has recently announced a comprehensive funding package for its flagship Upper Rhine Valley lithium–geothermal project, Lionheart. Backed by some of Europe's largest banks and institutions, the company now has the capital to begin construction on Phase 1 of this ambitious project.
