In this episode of Coffee with Samso, I sat down with John Anderson, the geologist most closely associated with the discovery of the Paris Silver Deposit on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. John is not just another explorer who drilled a successful hole. He represents a generation of geologists who built discoveries through persistence, pattern recognition, and the willingness to challenge accepted geological thinking.

This Coffee with Samso conversation with Dustin Haines from Echo IQ Limited (ASX: EIQ) reinforces a clear investment narrative: this is not just an AI story, but a data-driven healthcare business building a scalable diagnostic platform anchored in real clinical need.

In this episode of Coffee with Samso, we are having a conversation with Iron Bear Resources Limited again since May 2025. The business has progressed and we are now anticipating the release of the Pre Feasibility Study which will be the platform that begins the studies towards a Decision To Mine. As a shareholder of the company, these are exciting times as the path forward is all about creating the building blocks that will shape the valuation of the business.

In this episode of Coffee with Samso, Noel Ong sits down with OD6 Metals Limited Managing Director Brett Hazelden and Chief Technical Officer Darren Holden to unpack the company’s acquisition of the Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada, USA. The discussion centres on why OD6 has expanded beyond its rare earths and copper portfolio into fluorite (fluorspar), a critical mineral increasingly tied to global supply chain security.

There are moments in the ASX mining space where a transaction changes everything for a company. This Coffee with Samso conversation with Brad Valiukas from Kaiser Reef Limited is one of those moments. Filmed back at Samso HQ at the University of Western Australia, this discussion centres on what I described as an “overnight producer” story—driven by the acquisition of the Henty Gold Mine. And in many ways, that label fits.

In this episode of Coffee with Samso, I had the opportunity to sit down with Lachlan Wallace, Managing Director of Investigator Silver Limited, to discuss what I would call a very timely story in the current commodities cycle. Silver has always been one of those metals that sits quietly in the background—until it doesn’t. When it moves, it tends to move quickly, and often, the market is not fully prepared for what that means.

In this episode of Coffee with Samso, Noel Ong speaks with the team from PTR Minerals Limited about the discovery of the Rosewood Titanium Deposit at the Muckanippie Project in South Australia.

The discussion focused on tungsten, antimony, and gold, but more importantly, on mineral systems thinking—how deposits form, why certain geological settings matter, and why Pioneer’s ground selection in Idaho, USA, was anything but random. As someone who has followed tungsten closely, this was a conversation that went well beyond commodity hype and into the fundamentals of discovery.
