Hello everybody and welcome into Commodity Culture, where our goal is to make you a better investor in the commodity sector. My name is Jesse Day. Today is June 30th, 2026. And before we dive in, standard disclaimer, nothing here is investment advice. Do your own due diligence.

My guest today is the CEO of Oceanic Iron Ore, a company focused on the development of its 100% owned, Hope's Advance, Morgan Lake, and Roberts Lake Iron Ore development projects located in Quebec, Canada. It's Chris Batalha. Great to have you on the show. Thanks for having me, Jesse. Let's start things off with a high level view of the iron ore sector, obviously an incredibly important commodity, but one that perhaps doesn't get as much airtime as it should.

So maybe you could lay out for us what the main catalysts are driving the iron ore market, the current supply chain set up globally, and why investors should care. So a lot of people don't know this, but iron ore is the principal ingredient in steel.

And it underpins infrastructure and manufacture of anything from buildings to cars and defense sectors, infrastructure as well.

You want to care as a person because, you know, it's driven or it drives infrastructure spending towards development of economies and infrastructures all over the world. And in more developing areas that can focus on those we will later in the interview in parts of the world, like the Middle East and in Asia and onwards.
