  • West Cobar Metals Limited (ASX: WC1) - The Salazar REE Project - High Grade & a JORC Resource.

    Coffee with Samso Episode 178 is with Kevin Das, Executive Director of West Cobar Metals Limited (ASX: WC1) The REE story is maturing for investors as the complexity of what a good REE project is has moved several levels. What is still lagging is a sound grounding on what exactly is an economic REE. There have been several stories on Samso but I have to admit that the jury is still a long away from a decision. When Kevin Das, the Executive Director, of West Cobar Metals approached me to engage a Coffee with Samso, we spoke deeply on what makes West Cobar different to other REE stories. The first major difference is the existence of a JORC resource for the Salazar REE project . This resource does give WC1 a first mover advantage but the competition is fast catching up. The details of the resource may ultimately be the difference but we will need to wait for some critical steps such as the metallurgical results. The other factor which would drive this story further is the fact that the deposit sits on top of an ultramafic base. What this means is unknown for now. There is evidence of other deposits that the enrichment of the REE is related to the base. Salazar is the only REE deposit that I know of that is not on a granitic base. To add to the story, there is an HPA story here. There is an aluminium inferred resource on part of the Salazar resource. This may become a credit to the mining process and hence benefit the overall feasibility of the deposit. The West Cobar Story West Cobar is a minerals exploration and development company focused on rare earths and battery minerals within Australia and the US. Their projects include: ​1. The Salazar REE Project​ The Salazar Rare Earths Clay Project is located on non-agricultural undeveloped state land approximately 120km north-east of the township and deep-water port of Esperance in Western Australia. The Newmont deposit, located on the easternmost tenement at Salazar, contains an estimated JORC Inferred Mineral Resource of 43.5Mt at 1192ppm TREO + Y2O3 (500ppm cut-off). The O’Connor prospect to the west of Newmont has potential to host further significant high-grade rare earths mineralization. 2. Nevada Lithium Project The Montezuma Well and Big Smoky Valley claims are considered prospective for large-scale sedimentary-hosted lithium claystone deposits. The claims are located within the world class mining-friendly jurisdiction of the Nevada lithium district and host similar geology to known major lithium deposits in the region – including American Lithium (TLC deposit), American Battery Technology Company (Tonopah Flats deposit), Ioneer (Rhyolite Ridge deposit) and Century Lithium (Clayton Valley deposit).​ 3. Hermit Hill Lithium Project The Hermit Hill project area is located in the Litchfield Province in the Northern Territory, roughly 100km south-southwest of Core Lithium’s Finniss Lithium Project and Lithium Plus Minerals’ Lei lithium prospect, and 30km west of Ragusa Minerals’ Tank Hill lithium discovery. The project is prospective for pegmatite-hosted lithium mineralisation. The West Cobar Difference Currently, on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), there seems to be an overflow of REE stories. Every week there are companies announcing the presence of REE and one could be forgiven for feeling a sense of boredom. When the REE story emerged nearly 2 years ago, there was excitement and a bullish feel to this sector. However, as investors start to get a flood of news, this excitement starts to turn into confusion. What I can say about the Salazar REE deposit is that it holds a few points of difference. It is still a clay hosted deposit as opposed to the ionic versions but the high grade nature of the resource - 43.5Mt @ 1192 TREO, makes this one of the deposits to take note. On top of the REE resource, there is an HPA inferred JORC Resource of 28.3 Mt at 23.4% Al2O3 (at 10% cut off). How this adds to the economics of the mining of the Salazar REE story is yet to be played out. The positive would be that it adds credit to the process and lowers the overall feasibility and the downside is that it is mined and put aside. As the HPA content is part of the overall Salazar deposit, it means that there is no extra cost in mining it or isolating it. The clay mineralisation at Newmont has a relatively high magnet rare earth oxide content comprising about 25% of the basket. In particular,, the Newmont deposit is relatively high in high value, heavy magnet REE content, comprising 3% dysprosium and 0.5% terbium content. Praseodymium makes up 4.2% and neodymium 16.8% of TREO (See Figure 4). The other factor which may eventually affect the leachability of the deposit may lie in the fact that this deposit is overlaying a ultramafic (Amphibolite) basement. Like many of the REE stories, the outright understanding of the flow chart of processing is still a work in progress. This ultramafic basement is the key difference as all the other known Australian clay hosted deposits sit over granitic source. Samso's Conclusion These days, there is a large volume of REE deposits being marketed. We know that there is a Clay-hosted and an Ionic-hosted REE deposit. The difference is in the ability to easily extract the REE in the downstream process. I have spoken to people who tell me that the difference is not a physical or grade factor, but in the test of whether they are easily leached out. The host of ionic deposits are not restricted to the Chinese version as they are also granitic base. I know of an Australian ionic style being hosted over a limestone which is totally different. I am told that research has shown that the enrichment may be helped by the limestone interface. If this is true, will the fact that the West Cobar deposit being overlaying an ultramafic source lead to a different leaching style? Management seems optimistic but let's wait for the facts. If we want to look at which of the REE stories are going to have the legs to be at the mining and processing stage, then the oddballs like the Salazar REE project should be on our watch screens. Remember that there is also the potential for the mining of the HPA which is again something that is not present in all the other stories presently being sold in the ASX.

He has worked in a variety of mining jurisdictions as a senior geologist and has undertaken various technical and corporate roles including business development, project management and company management. Kevin established the ARD Group in 2016 with the goal of establishing a multi-discipline fund that would effectively allocate capital into the natural resources sector. Kevin is the Co-founder and Director of ARD Group. With over 12 years’ experience in the rare earth industry and formerly a Senior Geologist for Northern Minerals, Kevin was involved in the virgin discovery and development of the Browns Range Heavy Rare Earth Deposits. About West Cobar Metals Limited (ASX: WC1) West Cobar Metals Limited (ASX:WC1) is a minerals exploration and development company focused on rare earths and battery minerals within Australia and the US. The Salazar REE Project The Salazar Project comprises granted tenements E63/1469 and E63/1496 located on non-agricultural undeveloped state land approximately 120km north-east of the township and deep water port of Esperance (Figure 1). In terms of geological setting, it is situated in the eastern part of the Proterozoic Albany-Fraser Orogen, east of the Biranup and Fraser Zones, straddling the Heywood-Newman Shear Zone and Nornalup Zone. REE mineralisation at the Newmont deposit (E63/1496) is hosted by in-situ regolith over Proterozoic-aged basement rocks. A geological model has been proposed by Salazar Minerals whereby granites containing REE carbonates and other REE minerals are the source rocks for secondary REE mineralisation in the overlying saprolite profile. Mineralogical studies have indicated that the saprolite targets contain fine-grained secondary REE-bearing phosphates. Newmont Mineral Resource Salazar Minerals was one of the first companies to appreciate the potential for clay REE deposits in Australia. The tenements were first acquired in 2011 (granted in 2012) with the private company carrying out several aircore drilling programs to test for REE mineralisation. In total 165 aircore and RC holes for 6393m have been drilled within the tenements, leading to the discovery and delineation of the Newmont deposit. ​CSA Global ("CSA") was engaged by Salazar Minerals to estimate a Mineral Resource for the Newmont deposit in 2015. CSA estimated an Inferred Mineral Resource of 43.5Mt at 1192ppm TREO + Y2O3 (500ppm cut-off) in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). The Newmont deposit also hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 31.2% Al2O3 (15% Al cut-off) in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 (Table 2). The high-grade alumina within kaolin-rich zones has potential to be feedstock for production of high purity alumina. ​Lab test work demonstrates that this material shows high leach extraction and high purification grades to produce 99.99% (4N) High Purity Alumina (HPA). O’Connor Prospect The Salazar Project also includes the O’Connor prospect (E63/1469) which is located 10 kms to the south-east of the Newmont Deposit. The O’Connor Prospect has 32 vertical holes drilled for a total of 901 meters. Some of the drill intersections at O’Connor include: ​ SAC160, 19m @ 1939 ppm TREO + Y2O3 from 8m SAC161, 20m @ 2392 ppm TREO + Y2O3 from 7m SAC162, 19m @ 1350 ppm TREO + Y2O3 from 17m SAC179, 9m @ 3258 ppm TREO + Y2O3 from 14m SAC178, 10m @ 1586 ppm TREO + Y2O3 from 10m SAC188, 23m @ 1454 ppm TREO + Y2O3 from 16m SAC157, 17m @ 1186 ppm TREO + Y2O3 from 15m SAC159, 12m @ 1110 ppm TREO + Y2O3 from 8m Newmont Metallurgy & Studies Technical work on the deposit has involved reputable institutions including the CSIRO, the University of Western Australia and the University of Newcastle and mineral processing firms Nagrom and Amdel. Early metallurgical studies and characterisation testwork show the REE clays are amenable to acid leach processing Magnet rare earths (MREO) - Neodymium, Praseodymium, Dysprosium and Terbium concentrations up to 25% Heavy rare earth (HREO) concentrations up to 30% Critical rare earth (CREO) concentrations up to 37% Nevada Lithium Project The Montezuma Well and Big Smoky Valley claims are considered prospective for large-scale sedimentary-hosted lithium claystone deposits.

  • Venture Minerals Limited (ASX: VMS) - Golden Grove North Goes AI with SensOre Limited.

    Rooster Talk 73 has Andrew Radonjic talking about the recent JV with SensOre Limited with the Golden Grove North Project. Venture Minerals Limited (ASX:VMS) which I have always referred to as a Targeted Diversified Mineral Explorer (a term I coined) has done it again. They have found a great partner like SensOre Limited to share in the potential proceeds of a very prospective project. The Golden Grove North Project When I first looked at Venture Minerals, I immediately took a liking to the Golden Grove North project. The Golden Grove Mine lies about 10km south of Venture's tenement package. In 2022, Golden Grove has a Mineral Resource of 61.4Mt at 1.7% Cu, 4.0% Zn, 0.7g/t Au and 28 g/t Ag (Source: 29 Metals Limited). The mine is now in a company called 29 Metals Limited which is copper focused. In my opinion, the region has another Golden Grove hidden. Since the discovery of Golden Grove, there has been a lack of real exploration for the last two decades. Venture has explored and there has been some great results but the company has not expanded their exploration program. The Vulcan REE Story in Golden Grove The discovery of the Vulcan REE project has stirred some renewed interest in the Golden Grove area. Venture announced that they had some surface REE numbers late in 2022. What the future holds for the REE potential will now depend on whether Venture sees a need to continue after SensOre drills the initial hole. I am sure Venture will be looking at the outcome with interest. SensOre Potential SensOre has been a new revelation recently and I am keen to see what the company comes up with in this region. I have to admit that I don't know much about the company and what they have been doing, but I have heard that they were collaborating with Great Boulder Resources Limited. They had an adjacent project but I am not sure if that is still in the portfolio. The use of AI is long overdue in this industry. We have come a long way with mineral exploration techniques making some great discoveries recently. With the conversations from Coffee with Samso, I have had the privilege of listening to the changing face of science-enhancing discoveries. I don't think that it will speed up the development of mining but it will definitely help the targeting and hence the vectoring of targets. My experience in this field has been the use of GIS since the 1990s where we tried to manually layer information to define targets. Interestingly, I found that the adoption of that was also slow and in the early days, it was the case of the lack of information and more imprtantly the lack of good information. With the recent release of free data acquired by government agencies, I think this has helped companies like SensOre use their technology to splice through the information and generate good exploration targets. Samso's Conclusion The concept of using AI, I believe, is going to play a big role in mineral exploration. The early users of this technology are going to generate targets that have been overlooked in the past. When you look at the myriad of projects that are coming up, those projects that are not a rehash of the past should be the most interesting. If you look at the recent discoveries such as Hemi, which was discovered by De Grey Mining Limited (ASX: DEG), is a classic. Hidden in between the line of old pits is an elephant of a gold deposit. There is also the discovery of a nearly 1M ounce deposit in Kundana (I forget the name) within an area that was drilled intensely. There are many but I think my point is that with carefully manicured data input, something like SensOre will probably do a better job than human means. This is not to say that the previous people who discovered these deposits were not good, but imagine if they had the technology at that time to help. The farm-in agreement between Venture Minerals and SensOre, to me, is a great partnership. As we all know, this game is all about having the properties. One of the assets I love about Andrew Radonjic and the team is to come up with great projects. The project generation in Venture is old school and they come up with great ones. The term I have used to describe Venture Minerals, Targeted Diversified Mineral Explorer, is coined such because all the projects they have are well placed for discovery. As we know, not all projects will have major discoveries but every project has the potential to have a discovery. To conclude my thoughts, this is a great path forward for both companies and I am looking forward to hearing about discoveries. The AI path of SensOre will give Venture a crack at owning a major discovery without spending additional funds. The Venture proejcts will give SensOre an opportunity to use their technology on grounds that would not have been available for a crack at discovery. Tune in to Andrew's thoughts here. Chapters: 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:21 Joint venture with SensOre. 03:29 How should investors look at the JV with SensOre? 06:23 SensOre to drill the High Grade Vulcan Rare Earth target. 09:45 Utilising SensOre’s AI and machine learning technologies. 15:05 Conclusion PODCAST About Andrew Radonjic Qualifications: BAppSc (Mining Geology), MSc (Mineral Economics), MAusIMM Mr. Radonjic is a geologist and mineral economist with over 35 years of experience in mining and exploration, with an initial focus on gold and nickel in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Andrew has fulfilled a variety of senior roles which gave rise to three gold discoveries, totalling in excess of 3 million ounces in resources and resulting in 1.5 million ounces being produced. Since 2006 Andrew has been an executive director with Venture Minerals, which he co-led during the discovery of the Mount Lindsay Tin-Tungsten deposit in North-West Tasmania. He is also a founding co-director of Blackstone Minerals and the non-executive Chairman of Codrus Minerals. About Venture Minerals Limited Venture Minerals Ltd (ASX: VMS) has refocused its approach to developing the Mount Lindsay Tin-Tungsten Project in northwest Tasmania, already one of the world's largest undeveloped Tin-Tungsten deposits. With the recognition of Tin as a fundamental metal to the battery revolution and Tungsten being a critical mineral, Venture has commenced an Underground Feasibility Study on Mount Lindsay that will leverage off the previously completed open-pit feasibility work, and recently included additional, potential large-scale quantities of tin and boron within the current resource base, and extensively throughout the greater Mount Lindsay skarn system. The tin-borates have not previously been assessed in any mining studies. Borate minerals contain a large amount of Boron, a critical mineral in the solar panel industry. At the neighbouring Riley Iron Ore Mine, the mine is prepared for a quick restart should the market conditions become favourable. In Western Australia, Chalice Mining (ASX: CHN) recently committed to the second stage of the JV which requires a further $2.5 million of expenditure over the next two years to earn a further 19% interest (for a total of 70%) in Venture’s South West Project. At the company’s Golden Grove North Project, prospective for zinc, copper and gold, Venture has a JV with SensOre, whilst retaining the rights to REEs having found very high grade REE rock chip samples in the area. Venture has a significant Nickel-Copper-PGE landholding at Kulin with two highly prospective 20-kilometre long Ni-Cu-PGE targets within the Kulin Project.

  • The Business of Water in the ASX - A Critical Resource - Clean Teq Water Limited (ASX: CNQ)

    Coffee with Samso Episode 153 with Willem Vriesendorp, Chief Executive Officer of Clean Teq Water Limited (ASX: CNQ) is all about our most precious resource, Aqua - Water. There is a common understanding that water is a resource that we cannot live without. However, if you ask your average investor in the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), what is the most critical resource, you will be surprised that many, if not all, will not mention water. Investors talk about critical metals and resources but they forget that without water, nothing will work. No mining can happen if you do not have the correct form of water. You cannot even drill the holes without a good source of water. Willem brings across the business of cleaning water. The business of desalination, nutrient removal, zero liquid discharge and hardness removal may seem unimportant, but these are big revenue generators when you do it for governments and companies. The revenue that can be generated is a lot more than one would expect. I would go as far as saying that the revenue margin is a lot better than most mining projects. Clean Teq currently works with a focus on municipal wastewater, surface water, industrial wastewater and mining process water. Watch the interview: Coffee with Samso Episode 153 What is most important is that Clean Teq is a technology company that is doing business in the water industry. The company creates the tech and they are the innovation. This is the point of difference. Water treatment for industries has to be the most important aspect of the new world. Investors are preparing for the electrification of the next generation, but they must also learn that without water, there is no next generation. Chapters: 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:20 The Clean TeQ Water Story 02:59 Is water a critical resource? 05:52 The core business of Clean TeQ Water. 11:35 How does the business work? 15:02 Reaction from potential investors. 19:44 Does this new technology work? 22:10 History and success of metal recovery. 25:12 How should investors look at Clean TeQ Water Limited? 29:44 Are there any competitors? 31:59 What are the downsides? 34:15 News flow. 37:36 The image of CNQ. 41:06 Conclusion.

  • Look at the Red Seagull!

    Samso is helping ASX companies take Brilliant flight. Each one has become a Red Seagull, and you can't help but see it and talk about it. The Coffee with Samso Experience is soaring like Red Seagulls. They pique investor interest because that's how much they stand out. That's why ASX companies come to Samso, because: They want their stories heard. They want to reach out to new audiences. They want to position their brand in a positive manner. What is the Red Seagull strategy? It's a partnership of the Coffee with Samso Experience and Brilliant-Online. This partnership has helped ASX companies pique investor interest, amplify visibility and engage with their stakeholders in a language they understand. There is clarity in understanding what the company is trying to achieve and why they should be investing in them. Why investors appreciate Red Seagulls There are some things investors wished ASX companies could know, so they can share their stories more effectively. "A company's history, projects, developments, plans and values are not always easy for us to understand or follow. And there are really a lot of companies out there. It's frustrating not knowing where to start." "A lot of what is being talked about in the industry can sound very technical, and all that can be off-putting and it becomes an impediment to understanding the company's story." "There is also a certain assumption in the industry that just because we decided to be investors, we automatically understand the lingo and jargon or know exactly how companies work." For investors, Samso's Red Seagull strategy makes stories digestible and manageable so that they can visualise the opportunities offered by companies, and have a trusted space to follow the developments. Simply put, it makes it easy and enticing for investors to want to follow a featured company. Why companies want to be a Red Seagull For companies, being seen as a Red Seagull means you get people to sit up and take notice, get curious and want to know more. They are also eager to follow you on your journey and learn about what makes you special. The challenge for companies is how to stand out enough to make people want to know more about you. That's where Samso's Red Seagull strategy comes in. Samso's offerings create a different way to nurture investor relations. It creates content and builds a story that piques investor interest and encourages them to engage with the company's story and journey. It enables companies to show their passion, identify their values and explain why their projects are worthy of investment. Information is delivered and made accessible in a clear, manageable and engaging way. Noel's relaxed conversation style and pertinent questions provide an open, comfortable space for thought leaders to fully share their ideas and reveal thought-provoking insights.

  • Noel Ong Celebrates Brilliant Decades in Mineral Exploration

    Ever wondered how Noel Ong, CEO of Samso started in the mineral exploration industry? Brilliant-Online featured Noel in this month's edition on businesses that have trailblazed through the decades and continue to thrive and progress in what they do. Noel Ong has been a regular contributor to the magazine's investment section, bringing compelling ASX stories to a Brilliant community. Read more here. Why Geology? Believe it or not, our favourite Man in the Hat had no idea this was to be his destiny when he was a young man standing on the campus of the University of Western Australia outside the Chemistry Department. And the reason why he chose to do Geology was because he 'kinda liked it' and did well in that subject in high school. He finished with an Honours Degree in Geology in the end, but it still wasn't the guiding light that led him to create Samso . Finding a 'normal' job is harder than it looks While it may sound rather odd to say this, there is a serendipitous element in that Noel somehow never managed to find a 'normal' job no matter how hard he tried. This turned out to be the driving force that led him to sow the seeds for the creation of the Samso we know so well now. Brilliant decades in the making Read Noel's story on Brilliant-Online to find out what factors and conditions led him to create the suite of Samso products and services that are making a difference to the investment community, and to companies who need a space for their stories to be told. In Noel's own words, it's all about being "innovative and having a tenacious appetite to make sure doors are opened." Entrepreneurs out there, and those who are curious to learn more about the humble beginnings of the Man in the Hat, read the article here . Perhaps you may be inspired to trust your own entrepreneurial journey, that every step is leading you to something greater.

  • WA Companies with commodities for future exports

    Samso on Mining HQ Podcasts Ep.21 - start 00:26 Australia is the land of Milk and Honey with abundant commodities. In a time like now when commodity prices are good, most companies that are exporting are having the best time. As we speak, I am fielding emails from several sources about buying coal, iron ore, copper, nickel...etc. What I am telling them and what I have been telling these people for several years is, get in line and come bearing gifts. In summary, if you have not secured your offtake, get in line. The mining industry does not produce a mine like a house nor a skyscraper. It takes time and this is why those that understand the time lag are all in the front of the queue.

  • Why does ESG matter to ASX mining companies?

    Samso on Mining HQ Podcasts Ep.26 goes ESG today. What ESG is all about, and why it can help ASX companies move forward. ESG is now really an umbrella word to measure where you are in terms of doing things properly. ESG is more a requirement and not so much a mandatory act. ESG is not new and we as an industry have been fulfilling all these requirements for as long as Noel has been involved, and that is over 30 years. It is now just a title. The average company in the mining industry is already compliant and hence there is no longer an issue. In the case of investors, ESG can be a factor when you have sensitive environments but apart from that, it does not really play a big role. There are funds around that are looking at ESG compliant projects, so in those cases, that is a strong positive. In Australia, the First Nation conversation is always present and in Noel's opinion, it needs to be incorporated in all future paths forward, otherwise, it will never be resolved for corporate and the community. Listen here: Tin, tungsten and REE are key players in the critical and essential sectors. Listen to a conversation with Andrew Radonjic, Managing Director of Venture Minerals Limited (ASX:VMS) about the company's REE story.
