🎙️ Ep. 734 Streamex | Onchain Commodity Markets (feat. Morgan Lekstrom)

For episode 734 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Morgan Lekstrom, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman at Streamex. He is a seasoned mining executive and corporate strategist with over 17 years of experience building and transforming resource companies. As Chairman and Co-Founder of Streamex, he brings deep expertise in capital markets, strategic M&A, and commodities to guide the company's vision of tokenizing real-world assets.

Morgan recently served as CEO of NexMetals Mining Corp., where he led the redevelopment of critical metals projects in Botswana with backing from a US$150 million letter of interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Previously, as President of NexGold Mining, he orchestrated a remarkable transformation through strategic deleveraging and back-to-back mergers with Blackwolf Copper and Gold, Treasury Metals, and Signal Gold, creating a near-term Canadian gold producer with a clear path to constructing two new mines.
