Samso is an independent research media house producing depth-led video and written content on ASX-listed companies. We exist to create the research that helps listed businesses brand their story to investors who want to understand what matters. What Members Say About Samso Research Below: voices from ASX management teams who have been the subject of Samso research, and from readers who use Samso research as part of their own work. We publish both because both matter — what subjects say about being engaged at depth, and what readers say about the quality of the resulting work. From Management Teams Covered “Samso’s coverage of Kaiser Reef stood out for its depth and preparation. Noel had clearly done the work on our assets before we spoke — the conversation went straight to the substance of the operation, and the audience response showed it reached investors who genuinely understand the sector.” — Brad Valiukas, Managing Director, Kaiser Reef Limited (ASX: KAU) “The Samso pieces on OD6 Metals gave the clay-hosted rare earths story room to be explained properly — the geology, the metallurgy, the market context. It is rare to find coverage that trusts investors with the technical detail, and it made a visible difference to how our story was received.” — Brett Hazelden, Managing Director, OD6 Metals Limited (ASX: OD6) “As a company translating clinical technology for investors, precision matters. Samso took the time to understand what our platform actually does before publishing a word. The result was coverage our shareholders shared — because it explained us better than we sometimes explain ourselves.” — Dustin Haines, Chief Executive Officer, Echo IQ Limited (ASX: EIQ) Testimonials TESTIMONIAL Investors can make a well-rounded, informed decision with Blackstone Minerals Ltd (ASX:BSX) 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL Mount Ridley Mines Limited (ASX: MRD) likes getting straight to what matters to investors 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL Giving investors the opportunity to understand Venture Minerals Limited (ASX:VMS) well 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL Emu NL (ASX:EMU) finds new marketing pathways with Samso 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL Poseidon Nickel Limited (ASX:POS) enjoys Samso's far-reaching and in-depth interviews 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL An efficient interview style allows Cyprium Metals Limited (ASX:CYM) to fully explain the details 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL Samso's long-form format helps Critical Resources Limited (ASX:CRR) go in depth 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL Improved visibility in the retail investment space for Aurumin Limited (ASX:AUN) 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL Get deep insights into the mind of Warriedar Resources Limited (ASX: WA8) 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL Drilling into details and a genuine interest in Cooper Metals Limited (ASX:CPM) 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL Customising the experience for Tempest Minerals Limited (ASX:TEM) 28 SEP 2026 TESTIMONIAL Samso's unique angle to investor relation activities for Andromeda Metals Limited (ASX:ADN) 28 SEP 2026 Load more stories

Pioneer Minerals, PMM on the ASX. A critical minerals explorer built around uranium and lithium across Colorado, Namibia and Canada. Pioneer Minerals Limited (ASX: PMM) Pioneer Minerals Limited (ASX: PMM) is a globally focused exploration company targeting critical minerals, with a strategic emphasis on uranium and lithium. The Company's project portfolio spans key jurisdictions across Namibia, the United States, and Canada, positioning it to capitalise on growing demand for clean energy resources. Pioneer's flagship Skull Creek Uranium Project in northwestern Colorado covers approximately 15.5 km² across 114 unpatented mining claims. In southern Namibia, the Warmbad Uranium Project extends over 271 km² within the uranium-rich Namaqua Metamorphic Complex, a region recognised for its highly prospective granitic systems. In Canada, the Company holds the Root Lake Project, encompassing approximately 1,927 hectares in Ontario, located around 100 km north of Sioux Lookout and benefiting from excellent access via established road infrastructure. Additionally, the Benham Lithium Project in Ontario consists of 30 claims totalling approximately 1,245 hectares, strategically positioned along a fertile greenstone belt near the Ghost Lake Batholith, an area prospective for lithium-bearing pegmatites. Through its diversified asset base and focus on high-demand energy transition commodities, Pioneer Minerals Limited aims to deliver long-term value through discovery and development. An unpatented mining claim is the United States system for holding the right to explore and mine minerals on federal land, without owning the land itself. Samso's coverage of PMM on the ASX includes the Springfield historic tailings results, the capital raise to accelerate the US critical minerals work, the gallium discovery and the search for an American tungsten system.

Gain visibility in the ASX small cap watchlist with Coffee with Samso. Our platform transforms your announcements into engaging content. Coffee with Samso: Research Conversations with ASX Management Teams Coffee with Samso is a long-form video research conversation between Noel Ong and the people running ASX-listed companies. It is not an interview in the promotional sense. It is the structured conversation an analyst would have if they had ninety minutes, business-subject literacy, and a willingness to ask the second and third question. Samso’s coverage of Kaiser Reef stood out for its depth and preparation. Noel had clearly done the work on our assets before we spoke — the conversation went straight to the substance of the operation, and the audience response showed it reached investors who genuinely understand the sector. - Brad Valiukas - Managing Director, Kaiser Reef Limited (ASX: KAU) What It Is and What It is Not Coffee with Samso is not a five-minute promotional clip. It is not a curated soundbite. It is not a polished sizzle reel produced from a press release. It is a sustained, on-camera conversation in which a management team is asked to explain a project, a strategy or a decision in enough depth that a viewer who is doing their own research has something real to work with. For management teams, this means coming prepared. The conversation will cover the upside thesis, the principal risks, the geological or technical detail behind the claims, and the realistic execution path. Questions are asked because the audience will want them asked. Watch the latest Coffee with Samso Read the Editorial Charter Working with Samso Why The Format Works Most ASX small-cap communication is constrained by time. A five-minute clip cannot explain a deposit. A two-page note cannot explain a corporate strategy. A press release cannot weigh a risk. The long-form format is the format because the subject matter requires it. Noel’s background as a geologist (since 1992) and ASX founder means the conversation can be technical when it needs to be, and plain-language when it needs to be. The same conversation can explain a drill intercept to a sector specialist and the strategic significance of that intercept to a retail investor watching from outside the industry. What Viewers Get A viewer who watches a full Coffee with Samso comes away with a clear understanding of what the company actually does, where the project sits in its commodity cycle, what has to go right for the thesis to play out, what the risks are, and how the management team thinks about all of the above. That is what research-grade content looks like. How It Works For Subject Companies A Coffee with Samso conversation can be produced under either path to coverage: as Independent Coverage (Samso chooses the subject, no fee paid by the subject) or as part of a Samso Membership. Under membership, the Essential tier includes one Coffee with Samso or one Samso Insights piece per year; the Growth tier includes two Coffee with Samso conversations or two Samso Insights pieces per year; the Strategic tier includes the Growth allocation plus complimentary additional pieces. The format, the questions and the editorial standards are identical across paths. The label at the top of the published piece tells the viewer which path applies. The Disclosures page explains how member relationships are declared on each piece. Membership Packages Read the Editorial Cahrter A Note on the back Catalogue Samso has produced more than three hundred Coffee with Samso conversations to date. They are archived in the Research Library and remain available as a research resource on the companies, commodities and themes covered. Where companies have moved on, projects have changed hands, or commodity cycles have shifted, that historical archive becomes more useful, not less.

Every Samso piece on Actinogen Medical (ASX ACW), what Xanamem is being tested for, and exactly where each trial stands. Actinogen Medical (ASX ACW), Research and Coverage Actinogen Medical Ltd (ASX: ACW), formerly Actinogen Limited. This is not a mining company. It is a clinical-stage biotech with one drug candidate, classified by the ASX under Health Care. Actinogen is developing Xanamem. It has no product on the market and earns nothing from selling anything, so the money it spends comes from shareholders, from the Australian Government's research and development tax incentive, and from a loan written against that expected rebate. Xanamem is being tested as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, and has also been tested in depression. The idea behind it is that the stress hormone cortisol, at high levels over long periods, harms the parts of the brain involved in memory. Xanamem is designed to block an enzyme called 11 beta-HSD1 that generates cortisol inside brain cells. That is the hypothesis the trials are testing. It is not an established fact. Xanamem is an investigational product and is not approved for use outside of a clinical trial by the FDA or by any global regulatory authority. Read More

Every Samso piece on Rimfire Pacific Mining (ASX RIM), plus what scandium is and what the Murga and Fifield projects hold. Rimfire Pacific Mining (ASX RIM), Research and Coverage Rimfire Pacific Mining Ltd (ASX: RIM). Rimfire is a mineral exploration company in New South Wales. It does not mine and does not sell anything, so the money it spends comes from shareholders rather than from sales. Its main subject is scandium, with gold and silver in one older project. Scandium needs explaining, because almost nobody holds it in a portfolio knowingly. It is a metal that, added to aluminium in small amounts, makes an alloy that is both lighter and stronger than aluminium alone and can be welded without losing strength. That matters for aircraft, for electric vehicle structures and for the ceramic parts in solid oxide fuel cells. The market for it is tiny, a few hundred tonnes a year worldwide, and there are very few primary producers, so a company with a large scandium deposit is making a bet that the market grows rather than that it can take share in an existing one.

How Samso labels every piece and declares commercial relationships, holdings and interests. Disclosures How Samso handles relationships, holdings and interests The Samso Editorial Charter sets out six commitments that govern everything Samso publishes. Two of them concern disclosure: every piece must state how it came to exist, and any holding, exposure or prior relationship must be declared. This page explains how both work in practice. HOW EVERY PIECE IS LABELLED Every Samso piece carries a label at the top stating how it came to exist. A piece cannot be published without one. Independent Research. Samso chose the subject. No fee was paid by the subject. Samso Research · Commissioned. The company commissioned a research workup. The fee covers research effort and access. It does not cover the conclusion. Samso Member — Essential / Growth / Strategic. The company holds a current Samso Membership at that tier. Membership covers research effort, access, scheduling and distribution. It does not cover the conclusion. Editorial control rests with Samso in all three cases. The label is at the top of the piece, before the content, so a reader knows what they are holding before they read a word. COMMERCIAL RELATIONSHIPS Where a company has a current or prior commercial relationship with Samso, that relationship is stated on the face of every piece we publish about that company. It is stated at the time of publication, which is the point at which it matters to a reader. Ending a relationship does not retract published work. Removing a piece because a company has left would undermine the credibility of every other piece on the platform. The original label stays, and a prior relationship is disclosed on any later coverage. HOLDINGS AND EXPOSURES Where Samso, Noel Ong personally, or a close associate holds a position in a company we cover, that holding is disclosed at the top of the piece. Holding is read broadly. It covers shares, options, convertible notes or any other security in the subject; founder, director or adviser roles held within the past three years; and family or trust interests known to Samso. Exposure also covers a material long or short position in a commodity a subject's project produces or consumes. Positions change. A standing list would be out of date the day after it was published, and an out of date list is a worse disclosure than none. So the disclosure is made on each piece, at the time of publication, current as at that date. When in doubt, we disclose. A holding does not prevent coverage. It is declared, every time. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR A READER You do not have to trust that Samso is independent. You can check it on the piece in front of you. If a piece carries no disclosure and you believe it should, that is a Charter breach and we want to hear about it. noel.ong@samso.com.au , subject line 'Editorial Charter'. Contact Us Privacy Policy

Every Samso piece on Critical Resources (ASX CRR), formerly Force Commodities (ASX 4CE), and what it holds in Canada, Oman and NSW. Critical Resources (ASX CRR), Research and Coverage Critical Resources Ltd (ASX: CRR), formerly Force Commodities (ASX: 4CE). Critical Resources is an exploration company with ground in four countries and, unusually, a technology programme alongside it. It does not mine and does not sell anything, so the money it spends comes from shareholders rather than from sales. Its three strands are lithium in Ontario in Canada, a polymetallic deposit in New South Wales plus copper licences in Oman and gold permits in New Zealand, and an evaluation programme on solid-state battery technology under option over United States university patents. That last one is not mining at all, and a reader weighing this company needs to know it exists. Its financial year ends on 31 December, not 30 June, which is unusual among ASX small caps. Read More

Every Samso piece on EchoIQ (ASX EIQ), plus what EchoSolv does and which of its two products the FDA has cleared, in plain English. EchoIQ (ASX EIQ), Research and Coverage Echo IQ Limited (ASX: EIQ), formerly Houston We Have Limited (ASX: HWH). EchoIQ sells software that helps doctors read heart scans. The scan in question is an echocardiogram, an ultrasound picture of a beating heart, which is the standard test a cardiologist orders when they suspect a heart valve or pumping problem. Reading one well takes expertise, and mild cases get missed. EchoIQ's product, EchoSolv, applies artificial intelligence to the measurements already recorded in a scan and flags patients who look like they have disease that warrants a closer look. There are two versions. EchoSolv AS looks for aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the main valve out of the heart. EchoSolv HF looks for heart failure. One of them is cleared for sale in the United States and one is not. Read More

Every Samso piece on Lion Rock Minerals (ASX LRM), formerly Peak Minerals (ASX PUA), and the Minta rutile project in Cameroon. Lion Rock Minerals (ASX LRM), Research and Coverage Lion Rock Minerals Ltd (ASX: LRM), formerly Peak Minerals (ASX: PUA). Lion Rock is a mineral exploration company. It does not mine and does not sell anything, so the money it spends comes from shareholders rather than from sales. Its work is concentrated on one project: Minta, an 8,800 square kilometre block in central Cameroon, in west Africa, where it is drilling for rutile and monazite. Rutile is a titanium mineral, the premium feedstock for titanium dioxide, the white pigment in paint, paper and sunscreen, and for titanium metal. Monazite is a phosphate mineral that carries rare earths, the metals used in the permanent magnets inside electric car motors and wind turbines. Finding both in the same material is the reason this project gets attention. In October 2025 Tronox, one of the world's largest titanium dioxide producers, invested A$8.6 million for about 5 per cent of the company plus a technical partnership. Read More

Every Samso piece on Western Yilgarn (ASX WYX), formerly Pacific Bauxite, and its Darling Range bauxite and gallium projects. Western Yilgarn (ASX WYX), Research and Coverage Western Yilgarn NL (ASX: WYX), formerly Pacific Bauxite NL. Western Yilgarn is a mineral exploration company in Western Australia. It does not mine and does not sell anything, so the money it spends comes from shareholders rather than from sales. It looks for two things: bauxite and gallium in the Darling Range near Perth, and gold in the Gascoyne region further north. Bauxite is the ore from which aluminium is made. It is refined into alumina, a white powder, which is then smelted into aluminium metal. Gallium is a soft metal recovered as a by-product of alumina refining, used in semiconductors, radar and light-emitting diodes. The company is early stage. It holds four mineral resources, all in the lowest confidence category, and it has no ore reserve and has published no scoping study, pre-feasibility study or feasibility study on anything. Read More
