Coffee with Samso Episode 68 with Allan Kelly, Managing Director of Miramar Resources Ltd (ASX:M2R)
Allan Kelly has created wealth for shareholders before and he is back again with Miramar Resources Limited.
Allan Kelly is a guy who has done a Miramar before and took the then company Doray Minerals Limited (ASX:DRM) from being an explorer to a producer. There have been many other stories that fit this bill but when I met him at a Diggers and Dealers several years ago, I was impressed with the story of Doray.
When I notice Miramar Resources, I was immediately fascinated with the projects. I was thinking that the Gidji project was a "postage stamp" (headline reader) project. Why would someone like Allan Kelly bother with this? I also heard that the IPO was oversubscribed and it did well post IPO when it got listed in October 2020.
As soon as this Coffee with Samso was confirmed, I was keenly anticipating a great conversation.
Well, to say the least, this has turned out to be one of the best conversations about exploration and why exploration can add value to a company faster and greater than most investors would realise.
In this episode of Coffee with Samso, Allan shares with us the value of exploration. He tells about how many times he has seen good exploration creating so much value for shareholders. Most importantly, he gives a great conversation of the projects in Miramar and why Gidji is such a great project.
This is a great conversation about why people like me love exploration. I think it is the same feeling that any explorers or travellers get when they have that sensation of seeing new things and realising the discovery is upon their sights.
