The Discovery of the Challenger Gold Mine – Gawler Craton, South Australia In this episode of Coffee with Samso, I sat down with David Edgecombe, the geologist who was instrumental in the discovery of the Challenger Gold Deposit in outback South Australia. David is not simply a man who happened to drill a good hole. He is a geologist's geologist — one who understood the rocks, trusted the science, and applied a methodology that was, at the time, genuinely groundbreaking in this part of the world. May 27 5 min read The Discovery of the Paris Silver Deposit 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.

Apr 5 4 min read Kaiser Reef's 'Game-Changing' Henty Gold Mine Acquisition There are moments in the ASX mining space where a transaction changes everything for a company. This Coffee with Samso conversation with Brad Valiukas from Kaiser Reef Limited is one of those moments. Filmed back at Samso HQ at the University of Western Australia, this discussion centres on what I described as an “overnight producer” story—driven by the acquisition of the Henty Gold Mine. And in many ways, that label fits.

Silver has always been one of those metals that sits quietly in the background—until it doesn’t. When it moves, it tends to move quickly, and often, the market is not fully prepared for what that means.

The product that pays today's dividends, 62% Fe fines (62% iron content) into Chinese blast furnaces, carries a softening price outlook on every published forecast. The product with the strongest structural story, high-purity magnetite feed for direct-reduction steelmaking, sits mostly in projects that are the hardest to finance. That is the dilemma. Jul 23 Twelve on the Watchlist: value left behind in the gold price correction? The gold price has fallen roughly 28% from its January 2026 record high, and the share prices of small gold companies have fallen even harder. This Insight walks through twelve ASX-listed gold small-caps, one by one, in plain language. For each company we ask two simple questions. Does the project stack up as a real, money-making mine? And does the company look like the kind of business a bigger gold miner would want to buy? Jul 19 The Handback: What Rio Tinto's Kasiya exit says and doesn't say about titanium and graphite On 8 July 2026, Rio Tinto told Sovereign Metals it will not exercise its option to become operator of the Kasiya rutile-graphite project in Malawi, handing back full control of one of the largest critical-minerals discoveries of the decade. Read one way, that looks like a vote of no confidence from the world's second-largest miner. Jul 12 The Big Consolidation — where the gold price settles before its next move Start with the facts as of this week. Spot gold is trading around US$4,025–4,050 per ounce (2 July 2026), having touched an eight-month low earlier in the week before recovering above US$4,000. That is roughly 28% below the record high of ~US$5,595–5,602 set on 28–29 January 2026 — and yet still about 22% higher than a year ago. Both of those numbers matter, and most commentary quotes only one of them. Jul 8 Copper's precious passengers — where platinum and palladium hide in a porphyry A handful of the world's giant copper mines also carry platinum and palladium. They are rarely worth mining on their own — but the story of how they got there is one of the clearest windows we have into how a copper-gold deposit is made. This is that story, told for the curious rather than the credentialled. Jul 5 The Gold Question— Which Way Form Here Gold has corrected hard from a January 2026 record near US$5,589 to about US$4,200 by mid-June, yet almost every major bank still points higher over a 12-month view. The disagreement is about how high and by what road — and for ASX investors, the AUD gold price (near record) matters more than the USD headline. Jun 21 Black Horse Mining (ASX: BHL) — Maiden Drilling at Mt Egerton Lights Up a Forgotten Victorian Goldfield Black Horse Mining Ltd (ASX: BHL) is a Victorian-focused gold explorer that debuted on the Australian Securities Exchange on 2 December 2025 following a heavily oversubscribed A$8 million initial public offering. May 21 Iron Bear Resources Limited (ASX: IBR) — Indicated Resource Doubles to 4.5 Billion Tonnes at 29.5% Fe and 20.6% Magnetic Fe at the Iron Bear Project Iron Bear Resources is advancing a magnetite iron ore project in a jurisdiction that has been producing iron ore since 1954 and that hosts some of the world's most established direct-reduction-grade producers. Our facination as a shareholder wiht the Iron Bear story can be measured with three attributes that matter most for a development-stage magnetite story. May 18 Argentina - A Changing Republic For Mineral Resources Investments? Argentina has long been one of those jurisdictions that sits in the investor’s peripheral vision, not being ignored, but was never fully committed to as a "safe or aprropriate jurisdiction. For close to three decades, the global mining industry has watched the country with a mix of interest and hesitation.
