Скачать или смотреть How Drill Bits Became Gold: The Tungsten Recycling Revolution

From the quiet villages of France and Italy to the heart of Western Australia’s mining industry — this is the story of Matt, the founder of Drill Bits Recyclers (DBR), who’s turning what most see as waste into a critical resource.

In this episode of The Gold Room Podcast, Matt shares how a spark in a Perth scrapyard led to a business that gives new life to discarded drill bits — reclaiming tungsten, saving CO₂, and keeping critical minerals in Australia.

We talk innovation, sustainability, critical minerals, and the future of mining circularity — all from someone who literally pays companies for their “rubbish.”

💬 “I’m not here to take your money — I’m here to give you some.”

Tune in for a grounded conversation about ingenuity, opportunity, and what it takes to build a business from the ground up — quite literally.

🎧 From the Mic to the Mine!
