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.

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.

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.

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.

Introduction – Are we looking at the sunset season of Iron Ore Investments or are we looking at the beginning of a long Spring and Summer Season Investors in the iron ore sector have been dwelling on global market chatter of a declining iron ore price as the giant Simandou Iron Ore mine ships its first shipment of high0grade ore. The street talk is that the imminent 120 million tonnes per annum production coming out of Guinea is going to drive iron ore pricing to the sub US

Our curiosity about Scandium was piqued by the Samso Insight we released on April 6, 2026. As I delved deeper into the industry, my fascination with the metal and its obscure market grew. This is another essential critical metal that every ASX investor should be considering right now. For those who have read the Samso Insight, as shown below, the pressing question is: how can I gain exposure to this sector?

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.

Today, research is showing that the discussion is now being expressed through observable market behaviour. Not so long ago, most observers will remember that this sector was about a forward-looking thematic built on energy transition and supply concerns has transitioned into a phase where pricing (Figure 1), contracting, and policy alignment are all moving in the same direction. In other words, it is all "talk"

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.

Scandium sits in that rare category of commodities where the market is tiny, but the strategic value can be loud. It is widely dispersed in nature, commonly recovered (if at all) as a by-product, and its modern story is increasingly tied to two technology lanes: aluminium–scandium (Al-Sc) alloys and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).
