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.

When it moves, it tends to move quickly, and often, the market is not fully prepared for what that means.

Lion Rock Minerals Limited (ASX: LRM) has reported further drilling results from its Minta Project in central Cameroon, confirming insitu rutile mineralisation of up to 2.6% and multiple shallow intercepts, including 4m at 1.8% rutile. The results define a continuous mineralised system across the Ayong Yerap Basin over approximately 24km of strike, with zones remaining open in multiple directions.

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.

Tusker Minerals Ltd (ASX: TSK) has discovered high-grade titanium mineralisation hosted predominantly as rutile within the company’s Mzimba Project in northern Malawi, Africa. Over the last 12 months, I have learnt a lot about the titanium scene in which rutile is the King of the Castle. The focus is on rutile and not all HM deposits are found in the same way. Residual ruitle is the key and the establishment of titanium sources being sourced from rutile and not ilmenite is

In this latest episode of Coffee with Samso, we return to the UWA Club in Crawley to meet with Cliff Fitzhenry, CEO of DY6 Metals Ltd (ASX: DY6). This conversation cuts through the technical noise to examine what could become a globally significant rutile and titanium discovery in Africa.

Rutile has long stood in the shadows, overshadowed by better-known commodities like lithium, copper, and even its cousin, ilmenite. But beneath the surface, quite literally, lies a mineral that is becoming increasingly vital to the world’s industrial, technological, and geopolitical landscape.

Peak Minerals Limited (ASX: PUA) has confirmed a major expansion of heavy mineral (HM) mineralisation at its flagship Minta Rutile Project in Cameroon, with a 100% success rate from all 452 holes drilled (Figure 1). The program identified mineralisation across a vast 1,500km² zone—demonstrating scale and consistency in both residual and alluvial targets.
