About

Where mining meets financial markets. We break down the news that matters to investors and industry, without the fluff.

At Money of Mine, we dig deeper into the stories that move the mining markets. Founded in Perth, Western Australia, our mission is simple: cut through the noise, challenge the headlines, and bring investors the insights that matter.

We’re independent. That means no corporate spin, no PR gloss - just sharp analysis, robust debate, and the occasional laugh along the way. Whether it’s billion-dollar M&A deals, the latest drill results, or the big commodity shifts shaping the world, Money of Mine is where finance and mining meet.

Our flagship podcast has become a trusted voice for fund managers, analysts, executives, and retail investors alike. Every episode blends breaking news with market context and first-principles thinking, so our audience not only knows what happened but why it matters. Beyond the pod, our Director’s Special newsletter lands in inboxes each morning, distilling the day’s essential mining and markets news into a single read.

We believe that quality financial media should be both insightful and accessible. That’s why we bring together deep sector expertise, investment-banking rigour, and a curiosity for the bigger picture - from lithium to gold, iron ore to uranium, and everything in between.

Thousands of investors, executives, and industry professionals tune in every single episode, not just to stay informed but to stay ahead. We’re building the go-to platform for mining-finance content: independent, data-driven, and unapologetically ourselves.

Hosted by Jonas Dorling and Travis Ricciardo.

About the Hosts

Travis Ricciardo

Co-founder

Trav is a co-founder of Money of Mine. He grew up in Kalgoorlie (which he likes to pass off as mining credibility, it isn’t), cut his teeth at Argonaut—where he met JD—before moving on to Macquarie in investment banking. These days, he’s traded pitch books for podcasts and spends his spare time making a mess of DIY projects while convincing himself it’s “handy work.”

Jonas Dorling

Co-founder

JD is the co-founder of Money of Mine. He too started his career at Argonaut, found his way into equity research, and briefly punished himself with Big 4 consulting in Melbourne (never again). A tragic Liverpool fan and compulsive reader, he’s worked through 90% of the Money of Mine bookshelf—the other 10% are the ones Travis pretends he’s read.
