Iron Bear Resources Limited (ASX: IBR) — Indicated Resource Doubles to 4.5 Billion Tonnes at 29.5% Fe and 20.6% Magnetic Fe at the Iron Bear Project
Iron Bear Resources is advancing a magnetite iron ore project in a jurisdiction that has been producing iron ore since 1954 and that hosts some of the world's most established direct-reduction-grade producers.
Our facination as a shareholder wiht the Iron Bear story can be measured with three attributes that matter most for a development-stage magnetite story.

Tusker Minerals Limited – High-Grade, Near-Surface HMS Confirmed
Samso has been following the Echo IQ since September 2025. The research that went into preparing for the first Coffee with Samso with Dustin Haines was the eye opener for myself. It became very clear that this was a business that just needed validation and the first was the FDA submission which I now understand is not something that is caually done. The proecess and the acceptance of the request for approval in itself was a strenous process and is almost a tick of approval

Maritana Minerals Limited (ASX: MRT) — West Australian Gold Developer Targeting Standalone Production via Refurbished Processing Hub
My interest in the story stems from the fact that at that time, this was a gold producing story that was pretty much "undervalued" in terms of a business that was pretty much producing gold. For those that remember, the gold price was "surging" at that time at USD $3200 per ounce. It reached a high of USD $5,600 and is now current sitting at USD $4,600 per ounce.

The Discovery of the Paris Silver Deposit
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.

AI and The NVIDIAs AI Revolution – Why This Story Is Much Bigger Than a Chip Company.
I started to look at the world in Artificial Intelligence (AI) seriously 12 months ago with a trip to the SuperAI Conference in Singapore in 2025, an event that I will be attending again this year on the 10th and 11th June 2026. As part of the AI revolution for the Samso Platform, I hunted for practitioners of the industry to get on a Coffee with Samso to just give us the "AI for Dummies" approach to start our journey into AI.

AI and Dementia: How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Diagnosis, Care and Early Detection
Dementia is one of those global health issues that quietly grows in the background until it becomes impossible to ignore. It does not carry the drama of a sudden outbreak or the headlines of a breakthrough cancer drug, but its impact is profound. It affects memory, judgement, independence and identity.

Beyond Oil: What the Strait of Hormuz Really Means for Australia
For many Australians, the Strait of Hormuz was once little more than a place name, mentioned only when tensions rose in the Middle East. It sounded distant, strategic, and largely disconnected from everyday life here at home. Unless you worked in defence, shipping, or financial markets, it was easy to assume it had little relevance to Australia. - That assumption has changed.
