At Samso, we often talk about “first movers” and “market makers” in the mining and tech sectors. But when it comes to mental health care, particularly treatment-resistant conditions like Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the stakes aren’t just commercial. They’re deeply personal.

nvesting in small-cap stories on the ASX (Australian Stock Exchagne) in 2025 can seem overwhelming, especially for beginners. With the abundance of information available, it is crucial to know how to sift through it effectively to make informed decisions. As I have been in this industry for over 30 years and as an investor prior to the 1987 stockmarket crash, this blog will just outline some of my own experience and insights as to what has wroked for me over those years.

Let’s be honest: endometriosis has long been one of the most underdiagnosed and misunderstood medical conditions in women's health. A silent disruptor, it causes pain, fertility issues, and decades-long suffering, often without a name. Until now, the only path to a diagnosis was invasive laparoscopic surgery, usually after seven years of misdiagnosis. That’s not a system built for healing. But what if we could change that narrative with a simple blood test?

As someone who's watched this sector for over three decades, I tend to gravitate toward stories where the science leads the drilling, not the other way around. The latest announcement from E79 Gold shows exactly that: a methodical, data-driven campaign that’s laying the foundation for a potential discovery in one of Western Australia’s most gold-endowed regions.

As the energy transition accelerates, it’s becoming increasingly clear that natural hydrogen may offer a viable, scalable zero-carbon fuel alternative. In this context, Constellation Resources Limited (ASX: CR1) has delivered a pivotal update that confirms thermogenic hydrogen potential at its flagship Edmund-Collier Project in Western Australia. This marks not just a technical milestone, but possibly an inflection point in how hydrogen exploration is perceived on a global sc

In a world where the AI narrative is being woven into every corner of enterprise, education is often spoken about but seldom transformed at scale. That’s why OpenLearning Limited (ASX: OLL) stands out. It’s not just deploying AI – it’s integrating it meaningfully into a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that’s already showing traction in major education markets.

Arika Resources (ASX: ARI) has doubled down on discovery with a 40% expansion of its upcoming drilling campaign across the Yundamindra and Kookynie Gold Projects. With a strengthened balance sheet and an ambitious exploration strategy, the company is stepping firmly into the spotlight of Western Australia’s gold narrative.

The narrative around critical minerals is no longer just a story of energy transition. It has become a complex intersection of economics, security, diplomacy, and market psychology. At first, it was about rare earths and lithium. Now the ripples have spread across copper, gold, iron ore, antimony, and more.

When it comes to development-ready assets, timing is everything. Larvotto Resources has just released a highly compelling Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its Hillgrove Antimony-Gold Project in New South Wales—and it’s arrived at the right time. Gold prices are flying. Antimony prices are surging. Even tungsten is starting to catch a bid. Hillgrove is set to become a key player in a world hungry for critical minerals and strategic metals.

The Radium Hill Project in South Australia has long held historical significance as the site of the country’s first major uranium mine. What was once seen primarily as a uranium deposit is now re-emerging as a polymetallic system rich in scandium and rare earth elements (REEs). With new assays from Heavy Rare Earths Limited (ASX: HRE), this overlooked potential is becoming increasingly apparent—and economically compelling.

When we talk about "high-grade" in gold exploration, the term can sometimes lose its meaning in a market awash with numbers and drilling updates. But now and then, an announcement cuts through the noise, and Aurumin's latest results from the Gwendolyn deposit at the Johnson Range Gold Project do just that.
