By Ephrems Joseph After raking in some serious gains during its ASX debut in early January, Kali Metals  has delivered some strong news flow across its lithium tenements in Western Australia and the Lachlan Fold Belt in NSW and Victoria – despite the market’s sombre sentiment towards spodumene.  After the initial fanfare during which the lithium explorer clocked up to A$0.89 – a 250% jump from its IPO which was priced at A$0.25, the stock has been trading steadily in the A$0.39 - A$0.47 range since February, backed by some positive news flow on the ground (Figure 1).  Supported by bigwigs such as MinRes, Wabelo and Warburton, the company claims that its portfolio of assets represents one of the largest and most prospective exploration packages across Australia.  Figure 1:  The share price chart for Kali Metals Limited (ASX: KM1) .   (Source: Share price chart ) What is happening on the ground?  Soon after the listing, the company identified lithium-bearing pegmatites across multiple locations within its Higginsville District tenement holding in Western Australia, with initial rock chip samples returning assays up to 3.69% Li20 at Spargoville (Figure 2), one of eight projects within the portfolio.  Subsequently, Kali resumed its large-scale soil sampling program at the Higginsville Lithium District, with its first lithium-focused drilling program at the Spargoville Project.  Furthermore, the company delivered more high-grade lithium in soil and rock chip sampling at Spargoville and Widgiemooltha projects – with assays at Spargoville returning results up to 5.05% Li20. (Figure 2) Figure 2: The reported rock chip results at the Spargoville and Widgiemooltha projects.  (Source: Spargoville and Widgiemooltha assays ) Most recently, Kali gained new ground with the acquisition of a 226-square-kilometre strategic landholding with tin-tungsten and lithium-caesium-tantalum rights to the Jingellic Lithium Project in the Lachlan Ford Belt (Figure 3). The new tenement rights “fill the geologic gap” in Kali’s Jingellic Lithium Project and allow for continuous exploration across the Lachlan Fold Belt Project.

The company’s 3,854 square kilometre portfolio of assets comprises (Figure 4): Pilbara Region, WA:  The DOM’s Hill, Marble Bar, and Pear Creek Lithium Projects including title and all exploration rights. Eastern Yilgarn Region, WA:  Lithium rights across the entire Higginsville Lithium Project NSW  / Victoria:  The Jingellic and Tallangatta Lithium Projects, including the option to earn a 100% interest in the MEG Lithium Rights at EL8958, located adjacent to the Jingellic Project.

They are supported by Non-Executive Directors Paul Adams, John Leddy and Simon Coyle. Samso's Thoughts Lithium has never been my go-to commodity. I understand the need and the fascination with its future needs in our electrification evolution. I feel that this is like a game for the big players. The lithium industry is like the DSO (Direct Shipping Ore) industry, it works well with scale. Kali has the backing of some very high-profile shareholders and in this industry, you need these kinds of shareholders to succeed in an industry that is all about perseverance in terms of patience and the ability to raise money. I have been in this game for a long time and the "ducks" lining up is also very important. There is a reason why high-net-worth individuals do well. They know when to quit and when to double down on their investments. Time will tell where Kali goes but from the first indication, this is a good DYOR stock.

Litchfield Minerals Ltd (ASX: LMS)  experienced a subdued start on the ASX last Friday, with its shares opening at A$0.195, down 2.5% from the offer price of A$0.20 (Figure 1). The first trading day saw a volume of 850,386 shares, indicating moderate investor engagement, amidst a bid/offer spread of A$0.185 to A$0.195. Despite high anticipation of the oversubscribed $5 million IPO, the opening below the offer price reflects a cautious or uncertain outlook from investors. Figure 1: Share price chart (Source: Commsec) The company’s shares are currently trading at A$0.16, down 25% from the offer price. Litchfield is drill-ready and plans to drill its initial targets early at Mount Doreen targeting copper shortly. The company have two major projects which are located in the Arunta Province (Figure 2). Figure 2: LMS projects are located within the Arunta province. A prospective region that has very little exploration undertaken compared to other mineral provinces in Australia. (Source: LMS Prospectus). “Only wanted a small raise” Speaking shortly after the company’s shares began trading for the first time, LMS chairman Dr Peter Eaglen said: “It’s a tough market, but we only wanted a small raise, just enough to run this first drill programme,” he says. “A lot of people go out and try and fund everything, but you just can’t do that. “So we went very small – deliberately very small – just to work up these first lot of targets at Mount Doreen. “And if that doesn’t work, we’ve got a big manganese lease to go and explore over at Lucy Creek near the Queensland border. “What we found from this process was investors want something highly prospective, but then they also want to see there’s some sort of future beyond that.” What’s the Story? Litchfield Minerals boasts a prime portfolio of exploration projects (Figure 3), including significant drill-ready copper assets and uranium holdings with an 8-kilometre-long uranium, radiometric anomaly in the Mount Doreen tenement, located 350 kilometres from Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The projects are well located in a prospective region, under-explored and have great access via roads. This project is notably adjacent to Energy Metals’ (ASX: EME) Bigryli uranium deposit, highlighting the area's rich uranium potential. The company also holds the Lucy Creek Project is an 'early-stage' manganese exploration project that encompasses an area of 791.64 square kilometres. Figure 3: LMS Projects are located in between the town of Alice Springs with good road access to the projects. (Source: LMS Prospectus) Samso's Thoughts This is a typical exploration play. The projects are located in the Northern Territory and hence can bring some added interest, as in my opinion, there is a lot of prospectivity in the region that has had not much exploration. As an exploration geologist, the opportunity to discover is in regions with little activity. I have always felt that the Arunta region is one of the least understood and least explored regions in Australia. One should not discard the LMS projects but we will follow the company. The Mt Doreen project (Figure 4) looks very interesting. Historical mining in the prospects within the project gives good evidence of existing mineralisation. It's kind of a good sign. I see that in the Silver King prospect, there is Cu-Pb_Zn and Ag mineralisation. It has 10t of copper historically mined. Similarly, the Clark prospect is Cu-focused as well. Figure 3: Mount Doreen Project. Local geology and mineral occurrence map. (Source: LMS Prospectus). There is a prospect called Wolfram Hill and that has had 90t of Wolframite (Tungsten) mined. The historical mining activities in the Mt Doreen project are good to have as it established known mineralisation. As the company has mentioned, they are raising to drill and that is also a good thing. They don't have to go looking for a drill target. I have always liked the Arunta Province. I looked at this area in 2009 and wanted to take on the area with my first IPO. At that time, we were raising AUD 3M and that was not going to be enough. The area was big and access was not the best. We have now success stories coming out from the western margin with the WA1 Resources discovery. The discovery of similar styles is proven and I am sure there are plenty more to come. Another potential concept for LMS is the introduction of Uranium. The market narrative and that of the average city folk is tending towards nuclear energy. It is softening and hence being in the Northern Territory is a good thing you can mine it. There is a lack of population to bother you as well. For those interested, as usual, DYOR and take your time to discover the pros and cons. Samso will be following the LMS progress.

By Epherems Joseph Papua New Guinea-focused gold explorer  Tolu Minerals Ltd (ASX: TOK)  hit the boards last November in an oversubscribed IPO, raising over $A17 million at 50 cents per share, participating in what it calls the “renaissance” of the PNG mining sector.  The company has secured a valuable portfolio of assets, including the historically operated, fully permitted, high-grade Tolukuma gold-silver mine, a substantial package of adjacent exploration licenses on the Tolukuma epithermal structure and the earlier stage Mt. Penck epithermal gold silver copper exploration license.   Currently, Tolu shares are trading steadily on the bourse, hitting as high as A$0.56 today, up 10% from the IPO offer price (Figure 1).    Figure 1: Share price chart for Tolu Minerals Limited. (Source: Listcorp) Tolukuma Gold Mine - the engine of the business   The business's driving project is the Tolukuma Gold Mine project (TGM), situated in the Goilala District of the Central Province of Papua New Guinea, about 100 km north of the capital city, Port Moresby.  The project consists of a mining lease, six current exploration licences and an exploration licence application, all in the immediate area surrounding Tolukuma for a total land holding across the Tolukuma epithermal structure of approximately 1,800 square metres (Figure 2).  Figure 2: Tolukuma mining lease ( Source: TOK website)   Exploration strategy   Tolu’s exploration strategy aims to increase and improve the resources of Tolukuma and the Tolukuma structure, including:   upgrading existing resources by an intensive ore development and face sampling programme;  a significant resource drilling program within the existing mining lease;  exploration on the adjacent exploration licenses to determine the potential for a significant expansion and long life of mine strategy based on existing and targeted mineralised structures.  The company recently kicked off its maiden diamond drilling program at the highly prospective Taula gold and silver epithermal vein system after completing last year’s successful Taula trenching and sampling program. (Figure 3)   Figure 3: Tolu’s exploration targets and interpreted gold mineralised veins ( Source ASX release )   Looking ahead   The funds raised from the IPO are helping the company:  refurbish specific Tolukuma Gold Mine infrastructure, including the new access road, the existing hydroelectric power station, pumping and other mine support infrastructure;  increasing confidence in the existing mineral resource estimate;  early start, targeted exploration at Tolukuma Gold Mine;  exploration on a portfolio of prospective, adjacent exploration licenses; and   recommence exploration on the Mt Penck gold/copper project.  A Word From Samso Papua New Guinea is a tough place to make things work. I was there around 2011 and 2012, and we found it challenging. The Tolukuma mine has been around for decades, and its prospectivity is well known and, I assume, well understood. The grades are attractive, but my burning question is, why has it not been done? I can see that the raise appears to be moving in the right direction regarding the amount of money required to make things move in PNG. PNG is an expensive place to live and work. Westernising or modernising your workflow is not cheap. Anyone who has worked in PNG would certainly confirm this, so I will be looking at how the company progresses. It is gold, and the gold is there, there is no doubt. This is definitely a watch-and-see proposition, and a strong, committed DYOR is recommended.

In a bleek market for lithium explorers, James Bay Minerals Ltd  (JBY) is yet another victim to the spodumene prices, currently trading at around A$0.15, 33% below the IPO offer price.  Listed in mid-September, the stock was on a bull run for a little more than two months clocking as high A$0.61 – making it one of the most valuable IPOs during the period.  A full-blooded Quebecois, James Bay Minerals holds 346 square kilometres of prospective lithium projects in the James Bay region of Quebec.  Tides may change for the company, as it has recently identified significant new rare earth and uranium targets at its flagship Joule property – both of which are minerals that are doing well currently.  Commenting on the new targets, James Bay executive director Andrew Dornan said: “This is another fantastic result for the Company! While our exploration efforts will remain firmly focused on LCT pegmatites with potential for world-class lithium discoveries, the results obtained from aeromagnetic and spectromagnetic surveys cannot be ignored.  “As we have been doing for lithium, we will continue to sample and understand all relevant minerals on our properties.”    Figure 1: James Bay Minerals Limited share price chart ( Source: Listcorp). “Significant” new rare earths and uranium targets   Mid-last month, James Bay delivered ‘significant’ new rare earths and uranium targets from a review of aeromagnetic and spectromagnetic survey results across its flagship Joule Property, within the 100%-owned La Grande Lithium Project.  As part of its maiden exploration program, the company flew high-resolution magnetic and spectrometric surveys across its 100%-owned La Grande Project.   Figure 2 : Prospective REE zones – Joule Property ( ASX release)   Encouragingly, the surveys have identified several zones with high equivalent-Uranium (eU) up to 29ppm and equivalent thorium (eTH) up to 22ppm.  “As a comparison, Joule is only one of two projects over the entire James Bay area, including the Matoush Uranium Project area, with maximum eU values exceeding 20 ppm, while the global average is approximately 0.5 ppm.   “This is considering a thorough review of over 80,000 l-km of public airborne gamma-ray spectrometric data,” commented Joel Dube from Dynamic Discovery Geoscience.

Early learning provider Nido Education Limited (ASX: NDO)  made a strong impact during its October ASX listing, becoming the second-largest listed operator in the industry.   The company raised $99.2 million by selling 99.2 million shares at A$1.00, delivering a market capitalisation of A$219 million.   With the listing, Nido joins G8 Education, Mayfield Childcare, and Embark Education Group to become the fourth listed operator in the industry.  Since then, the company used a significant portion of the funds raised to acquire 24 more childcare centres in Victoria, SA, and WA – taking its portfolio to 52 centres in the country.   Nido traded steadily between A$0.90 and A$1.00, currently trading at A$0.93 with a market cap of 211.69 million. ( Figure 1)  The company’s CY23 revenue from ordinary activities is up 61% to A$93.4 million, as it forecasts positive cash flows for at least the next 12 months.  Figure 1: Share price chart (Source: Listcorp) More funds en-route   Nido has plans to grow the network of early childhood centres through an incubator model with up to 32 more centres to be added to the portfolio in 2024.  Last month, the company signed binding agreements with National Australia Bank (NAB) to establish a $ 67 million debt facility.   The debt facility is intended to fund acquisitions over the medium term.  Background   Australia’s childcare industry is thriving, with revenue expected to reach A$17.2 billion by 2028-29, according to market researcher IBISWorld, driven by government support and extended attendance hours in 2023.  Founded in 2021, Nido Education Ltd is a national owner, operator and manager of long-day early childhood education and care services, operating under the Nido Early School brand.  The company boasts fifty-two early schools in communities across Australia (Figure 2).  In addition, the company also manages forty-three centres on behalf of its partners.   This makes a total of ninety-five centres Nido operates or manages, educating and to date, up to 8,361 children each day.  Figure 2: Nido Early School Locations are in green with the number of locations labelled.

Since its dual listing on the ASX in September, Novo Resources Corp ’s shares have been downward, trading at A$0.14, down 43% from its offer price – despite the surging gold prices (Figure 1).  However, at the field, the company is making some headway at its Egina Gold Camp, where over 10,500 metres of combined aircore and reverse circulation drilling was completed by De Grey Mining at Becher as part of the Egina earn-in / JV.  Notably, the Egina Gold Camp is Novo’s highly prospective gold belt in the Pilbara and includes the priority Becher and Nunyerry projects.  “What excites us the most at Novo is that the Egina JV tenements are considered highly prospective for significant intrusion-related gold deposits, with similar attributes to the 12.7Moz Au (JORC 2012) Hemi Gold Project,” says Novo co-chairman and acting CEO Mike Spreadborough.   “De Grey understands the enormous potential of this ground, and this is just the start of an exciting exploration partnership.”  Figure 1: Share price chart (Source: Google Finance) Significant drill results at Becher   Novo’s JV partner, De Grey, kicked off AC and RC drilling at the Becher Project in the December quarter of 2023.  During this period, the company tested the Heckmair and Lowe intrusions and the Irvine and Bonatti shear corridors, completing over 10,500 metres.  RC drilling at Lowe confirmed gold mineralisation associated with a deformed intrusive sill, with a best intercept of 8 metres at 4.74 g/t gold from 96 metres, including 3 metres at 11.88 g/t Au from 100 metres.  Follow-up RC drilling into a base metal-gold corridor previously defined by Novo at Heckmair intersected a significant zone of base metal-gold mineralisation from the two RC holes targeting the corridor.  Moving forward, De Grey plans to target the Becher area with follow-up AC and RC drilling to be completed at priority targets Heckmair and Lowe during the course of the year.  About Egina Gold Camp  The Egina Gold Camp is Novo’s highly prospective gold belt in the Pilbara and includes the priority Becher and Nunyerry projects.  Novo’s early-stage reconnaissance work at Egina successfully identified the Becher Project as highly prospective and a high priority.   The company kicked off AC drilling in late 2022 and continued into 2023, generating excellent results and indicators of potential discovery success.  In June 2023, De Grey recognised Becher's potential as a key growth asset and entered into the Egina JV. Under this JV, De Grey will fund an exploration program over four years for up to A$25 million, earning a 50% interest in the project. Figure 2: Location of Novo tenements, the Egina JV area and priority projects in the Pilbara. (Source: ASX Release). Spreadborough added: “This ground will get some focused exploration attention with De Grey required to spend up to A$25 million at Becher and adjacent tenements within 4 years to earn a 50% direct interest in the Egina JV.   “In this programme, a minimum of $7 million will be spent within 18 months, so we expect a good flow of results going forward.”  Things kicking off at Belltopper   Novo’s Belltopper Gold Project is situated within the prolific Bendigo Zone, approximately 50 kilometres SSW of the high-grade, world-class Fosterville Gold Mine and 120 kilometres northwest of Melbourne.  In March 2023, the company consolidated Belltopper by acquiring the remaining 50% interests in the Malmsbury Project from GBM Resources (ASX: GBZ) and the Queens Project from Kalamazoo Resources (ASX: KZR).  Exploration efforts are focused on first-order high-grade gold targets generated from drilling, geophysics, mapping, structural and mineralisation studies, geochemical vectoring, and 3D modelling of historic (known) and newly discovered gold reefs that occur across the project area.   Novo has commenced a diamond drilling program consisting of ~2,300 metres with six primary planned drill collars designed to test the highest priority targets at Belltopper.   Drilling is expected to take around three months, with assays to be reported throughout the first half of 2024.  Figure 3: Belltopper Gold Project location.

BlinkLab , a trailblazer in neurodevelopmental diagnostics, is gearing up for its ASX listing, with the anticipated listing date slated for April 4, 2024, under the security code "BB1".   With the subscription period concluding last week, this novel outfit is set to break into the ASX with its smartphone-based application integrated with an electronic platform, designed to perform neurometric tests that could be used on children as young as 18 months of age.  Through this IPO, Blinklab is poised to garner A$7 million by offering 35 million ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of A$0.20.  The company focuses on the development and commercialisation of smartphone-neurobehavioural testing and will aid in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia and other neurodevelopmental conditions.  Upon listing, BlinkLab’s primary focus is to complete the necessary regulatory clinical studies and obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to bring the BlinkLab device to market initially as a diagnostic tool for ASD.  Figure 1: Blinklabs indicative timeline (Source: Prospectus )   What is the BlinkLab device?   The BlinkLab Device combines fundamental neuroscience with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning.   The tests do not depend upon any verbal or social interaction and could be used at a very early age for children as young as 18 months old.  “This marks a significant advancement, considering traditional diagnoses typically occur around five years of age, often missing the crucial early window for effective intervention,” says chairman Brian Leedman.  Figure 2: How it works (Source: company website)   The mobile device-enabled environment allows real-time detection of facial expressions, including eyes and eyelids, and uses encrypted data transfer and storage to protect patient privacy (Figure 2).  The results from these responses are recorded by smartphone and uploaded to a confidential and secure online platform and the data is analysed using automated facial recognition and image processing techniques.  The device consists of:   the BlinkLab App:  a mobile application available for download in the App Store for patients, caregivers and/or parents, effectively a front-end tool that helps collect test subjects’ information and responses to the BlinkLab Tests in real time;  the BlinkLab Portal : the back end includes a fully built secure database and content management system (CMS) as well as an experimenters’ portal that allows for full customisation of the neurometric tests as well as data analysis, annotation and visualisation tools.  Unmet need   BlinkLab is entering the market at a time when the NDIS in Australia has come under scrutiny for the tremendous cost to the Australian taxpayer for which ASD diagnosis and treatment in children is the single largest expenditure.  This smartphone-based ‘screening test’ will aid healthcare providers to identify these children at a much younger age than presently available providing a pathway to effective treatment and better outcomes for the child and their parents.  Children with ASD are usually diagnosed between ages 2-4 years, with speech delays being among the first concerns for parents (Figure 3).  However, with the help of the BlinkLabs app, infants at high risk for ASD may be assessed before full manifestation of the disorder – which the company believes is “transformational”.  Figure 3: Typical ‘testing and diagnostic’ landscape of ASD (Source: IPO prospectus)   Background   BlinkLab was incorporated on August 17, 2021, to accelerate the development and commercialisation of intellectual property developed at Princeton University relating to smartphone-neurobehavioral testing.  Before that, the company’s management team was engaged in extensive research and development of the underlying technology.   Approximately A$4.4 million has been spent on the development of the BlinkLab Technology to date which has been funded by Government grants, industry sponsorships, and various seed raising following incorporation.  The funds raised before incorporation were primarily used to develop and validate the diagnostic capabilities of the platform, whereas the funds raised from Seed Raising and Pre-IPO Capital Raising were used toward software development and clinical studies.  A Word From Samso To me, the name Brian Leedman is one that I see frequently in this medical technology space in the ASX. I have known that name for the last 10 years and he has been very successful in this space. I am not surprised to see his name mentioned in this IPO. No doubt, I am sure this will be well supported. The space of neurobehavioural studies is close to me as I am a strong advocate of treating, caring and understanding mental illness. As this is a concept of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, I would be very keen to know more about the applications and the rate of success. Mental illness is a growing disease because we are now learning the big spectrum that exists in society. Over the last 5 years, I have been involved in the understanding and caring part of the mental illness world so I am appreciating the potential upside of BlinkLab. Let's hope they make the IPO and generate some great innovation towards what is a massive market if the technology that BlinkLab is proposing works for its intentions.

Pure play natural gas and helium explorer D3 Energy Ltd  is set to be the latest debutante on the ASX, with the company’s initial public offering (IPO) slated for April 26 this month.  Under the IPO, the Africa-focused explorer aims to raise A$10 million for an offer of 50 million shares at an issue price of 20 cents apiece.  With the coffers full, the company aims to explore and develop its natural gas and helium assets, situated in the Free State Province in onshore South Africa as well as fund general working capital.  As a nation that is experiencing severe energy supply difficulties, South Africa is making the identification of natural gas reserves an important part of the present energy supply as well as the country’s energy transition.  Primary focus   Incorporated in April 2012, D3 Energy is an emerging natural gas and helium exploration company, aiming to acquire and explore interests in natural gas and helium projects in Africa.  The company’s primary focus is on the exploration of, and where possible, the commercial production of natural gas and helium at its D3 project in South Africa (Figure 1). Importantly, gas samples taken at the company’s exploration right ER315 indicate the presence of helium within the natural gas.  Looking ahead, D3 intends to separate helium from methane for potential commercial sale.  Figure 1: Map of D3 Energy portfolio, Free State, South Africa (Source: D3 website)   What are the company’s interests in the D3 Project?   Upon listing, the company will hold 100% of Motuoane Energy (Pty) Ltd, a company incorporated in South Africa that holds the permits for the D3 Project (Figure 2).  Currently, the company holds an 86.77% interest in Motuoane, an interest that was acquired on October 28, 2022, under the Motuoane Acquisition Agreement.    Under the agreement, the company has agreed to acquire the remaining 13.23% interest in Motuoane upon the earlier of the first business day following July 2024 and the company receive conditional listing approval from ASX to be admitted to the official list.     The offers are conditional on the completion of the company’s acquisition of the remaining 13.23% interest in Motuoane under the Motuoane Acquisition Agreement.   Figure 2: Ownership of the exploration assets constituting the D3 Project once listed (Source: D3 Prospectus)   IPO highlights   The IPO is being facilitated by Peloton Capital Pty Ltd and Originate Capital Pty Ltd, serving as joint lead managers.   Notably, the offering is not underwritten, reflecting the confidence of both investors and management in D3 Energy’s prospects.  Applications under the public offer must be for a minimum of A$2,000 worth of shares (10,000 Shares) and thereafter, in multiples of $500 worth of shares (2,500 Shares).  Figure 3: Indicative timetable (Source: D3 Prospectus)   Samso's Thoughts Energy is one of the most narrated investment items currently and there are many opinions, especially the ones coming from the renewable space. I think that the investment community has latched onto this massive money-making concept and has again moved so fast that the reality of their intentions is not aligned. The investment sector has always been the initiator of great ideas that the world should partake in because they are correct. Just like the great notion of the "NINJA LOANS" that was the great learnings of the GFC. The repackaging of ABC loans was "ok", so we should not be concerned as they knew best. In a place like South Africa, the local discovery of power sources would be a money spinner but history has shown that places where there is a lack of jurisdiction authority always makes investments vulnerable. If D3 Energy can make this work, I am a big fan. As an investment for the mum and dads, I think serious DYOR must be made as this is a very vulnerable business concept despite the slow realisation that renewable energy is not sustainable.

Recharged with a $A5.3 million IPO in January, Infini Resources (ASX: I88)  is accelerating exploration across its diverse portfolio of energy metals, underpinned by uranium and lithium assets in the top-tier mining jurisdictions of Australia and Canada (Figure 1).  The company has a strong presence in four Canadian provinces, where it pursues uranium exploration through its Portland Creek, Tinco, and Des Herbiers projects, and delves into lithium with its Patterson Lake and Valor operations.   In Western Australia, the company holds lithium ventures at Pegasus and Parna, along with a uranium project at Yeelirrie North - reflecting a strategic balance in its resource development portfolio amidst record highs for uranium and record lows for lithium.  Figure 1: Infini project locations (Source: I88 website)   Commenting on the company’s ongoing exploration program, Infini CEO Charles Armstrong said:  “Our strategy is to move quickly to add value to the projects through on-ground exploration activities including geophysical and geochemical work programs.”  After the initial fanfare where the share prices clocked up to A$0.56 intraday, Infini’s shares are currently trading at A$0.18 with a market cap of A$10.68 million - two cents lower than its offer price (Figure 2).  Figure 2: Share price chart (Source: ASX.com ) Fieldwork kicks off at Portland Creek Uranium Project   With approvals in place, Infini is “aggressively” taking on Portland Creek, kicking off with fieldwork that includes prospecting, channel sampling and geochemical surveying at its priority targets at the Newfoundland Project.   Previously, multiple large uranium targets were identified at Portland Creek with desktop analysis narrowing down on 8 exploration targets to date, with known uranium showings the property grading up to 2,180 ppm U3O8.  Armstrong said: “The company is now aggressively pursuing its exploration efforts at T1-T8 with a field crew currently being mobilised to site to undertake initial reconnaissance and potential sampling if ground conditions permit.   “The Talus prospect remains the key focus of any ongoing field activities where high-grade grab samples coincident with a massive U/Th anomaly suggest the potential for an undiscovered uranium deposit to exist on the 100% owned project.” (Figure 3)  Figure 3: The location of the Talus prospect and other exploration targets overlain with radiometrics and rock sample geochemistry (Source: ASX release)   “Outstanding opportunity”   The Portland Creek Project represents an “outstanding opportunity” with the company recently expanding its tenure by 58% to 113 square kilometres.  Moreover, Uranium is one of the 34 critical minerals listed by the Newfoundland Government and as such, the company will be eligible to apply for Junior Exploration Assistance (JEA) grants up to CAD$150,000 for future greenfield exploration activities.  Newfoundland was ranked as one of the top 10 mining investment jurisdictions by the Fraser Institute’s latest annual survey of mining companies and is known to be in favour of uranium exploration.  About Portland Creek   The Portland Creek Project is situated in the Precambrian Long-Range Complex of the Humber Tectonic – Stratigraphic zone.   These members include metaquartzite and a suite of paragneisses, intruded by leucocratic pink granite, which have likely been thrust westwards over Palaeozoic carbonate-dominant sediments.   The claims are situated over a large regional uranium anomaly that was identified in the 1970s by a Newfoundland government stream sediment sampling program.   There is one uranium showing on the property as listed in the Newfoundland Mineral Deposit Index inventory with 2,180 ppm U3O8.  Lithium targets at Paterson Lake   Early last month, Infini identified three major greenstone corridors of interest ~6 km, ~6km and ~5 km in length at its Paterson Lake Lithium Project in Ontario.  Subsequently, the company delineated 40 microgravity targets interpreted to be LCT pegmatites.  Microgravity survey results show excellent correlation with existing lithium trends and may be used to successfully predict extensions to existing mineralisation and new lithium-bearing pegmatites under soil and vegetation cover.  Follow-up exploration includes focused geological mapping and infill soil sampling to identify new outcropping mineralised pegmatites in combination with diamond drilling along strike targets.  Figure 4: Location of the Paterson Lake Lithium Project depicting the microgravity survey locations overlain with 1VD drone magnetics, MMI soil sampling, mineralised outcropping pegmatites and historical drill hole mineralisation (Source: ASX release)   Samso's Thoughts Infini is one of the many companies that are applying their trade in Canada as they seek greater pastures. The lack of funding for companies on the TSX-V or TSX has given many ASX companies the opportunity to get access to projects that are not available in Australia or any other hunting grounds that are commonly visited by ASX companies. The storyline is that the Canadian projects are better and the administrative pathway is simpler which is true in some cases. I am not a lithium bull as I don't think that the market can sustain the hundreds of aspiring players in this space. However, I do like uranium. Uranium in Western Australia has an added upside in the potential policy changes to allow uranium mining in Western Australia. This may be a risk, a calculated risk or not, but the narratives in Australia and that of Western Australia appears to be softening. If this is the case, then this will be a boost to companies like I88 with their uranium projects. This does not mean that it is an automatic boost as I88 still needs to have a project that is worthy of mentioning. Only time will tell if this will be the case.

The global commodities market is witnessing notable changes, with significant price movements in copper and tin, signalling a potential shift in investment trends within the resources sector.   Copper, traditionally seen as an economic health indicator, has broken free from its previous price stagnation.   In the tin market, there is a quiet yet significant ascent in prices, reflecting its strategic importance, especially in the technology sector where it is used for soldering in circuit boards.  The International Tin Association has emphasised the urgent need for substantial investment in tin production to meet the forecasted demand surge, estimating a requirement of US$1.4 billion to augment annual tin output by 50,000 tonnes by 2030.  Furthermore, the price increase in tin is influenced by geopolitical tensions and production issues in major tin-producing areas, highlighting the metal's critical role in the global supply chain.  Tin prices have rebounded to around US$28795 a tonne, a 9.10% increase since the beginning of 2024, primarily due to threats to supplies from key producers and the demand outlook turning positive (Figure 1).  Figure 1: Tin prices (Source: Trading Economics)   In the spotlight: Venture Minerals   In the spotlight is Venture Minerals ’ Mount Lindsay Project in north-western Tasmania, hosting one of the largest undeveloped tin projects globally and boasting over 80,000 tonnes of tin metal and a significant tungsten resource.  Its strategic importance is amplified by the Australian Government's enhanced focus on critical minerals, demonstrated by the expansion of the critical minerals’ facility to A$4 billion and the inclusion of tin in the new strategic materials List.  Consequently, the Australian Government has recognised the project as a critical minerals project, underscoring its national and global significance, especially in light of the burgeoning demand for metals crucial to the technology and energy sectors.  This governmental support aligns with the growing acknowledgment of tin's vital role in the battery revolution and new technological applications (Figure 2)  Figure 2: Metals most impacted by new technology (Source: International Tin Association)   About the project   Venture owns 100% of the tenure that hosts the Mount Lindsay Tin-Tungsten Deposit and the surrounding prospects.   The project sits between the world-class Renison Bell Tin Mine (Metals X Ltd/Yunnan Tin Group) and the Savage River Magnetite Mine, which has been operating for more than 50 years, currently producing approximately 2.5 Mtpa of iron pellets (Figure 2).  Mount Lindsay has excellent access to existing infrastructure, including hydropower, wind power, water, sealed roads, and rail and port facilities.  The Mount Lindsay deposits and the surrounding exploration target areas are all defined as skarn-style mineralisation and are closely analogous to well-known large skarn deposits in Russia and China, which contain the same borates that exist at Mount Lindsay.  Figure 3: Location map of Mount Lindsay Tin-Tungsten Deposit, Riley Iron Ore Mine & Livingstone DSO Deposit. (Source: Venture Minerals Limited) Moving forward    Venture has engaged Curtin University to kick off the next stage of metallurgical test work on the Mount Lindsay tin-rich borates.  The program will investigate the extraction of tin, boron, and iron from tin-iron borates, potentially significantly increasing the tin recovery and producing a high-value boron by-product, resulting in another revenue stream for the Mount Lindsay project (Figure 4)  Venture believes the inclusion of tin-rich borates into the current Underground Feasibility Study could deliver a major economic benefit, through the recovery of boron and additional tin and iron.  Boron is now included in the European Commission’s Critical Raw Material Act and is considered vital to the green energy transition.   In addition to boron’s use in solar panels, up to 50kg of boron material is required in the construction of Electric Vehicles.  Figure 4: Mount Lindsey Geology map (Source: Venture Minerals Limited) A word From Samso The Venture Minerals story is one that is well known to anyone who has been following the Coffee with Samso  series. Andrew Radonjic, the Managing Director of Venture Minerals has been a recurring guest on the Coffee with Samso series of videos. Coffee with Samso: Venture Minerals Limited (ASX: VMS) - Jupiter REE Deposit: April 2024 Update Venture Minerals Limited (ASX: VMS) - Jupiter REE Deposit: the next Mt. Weld? Venture Minerals Limited (ASX: VMS) - A Different Australian Rare Earth Story - The Jupiter Project. The Mt Lindsay project has been the main focus for the company and there is a great amount of value in the project. The tin price falling back from a sharp rise in 2022 (Figure 5) has given tin companies a shock to the system. However, there does appear to be some resemblance of a recovery. Figure 5: Tin prices over a 25-year range in USD/T. (Source: Trading Economics) The consensus within the commodity and mining fraternity is that the next boom in pricing is near and the next growth will be more sustainable. I am one with these narratives and I do feel that the next period of growth will be from the "New Age" related metals. I don't want to call them EV metals as I am a firm believer that the metals that will make a difference in the new Clean Energy Environment are the metals that have been largely ignored during the "lithium" time. My thoughts are that the new age metals are all about the new technology and a revolution to go from the "Old Ways" to the "New Ways" in terms of transportation and infrastructure. The need to be more efficient is also going to be a driver in terms of stronger and lighter materials etc. If the tin price starts to come back, Venture is going to have two fronts running in the New Age environment.

The Puxiong deposit in Southwest China represents a significant shift in the exploration of regolith-hosted rare earth element (REE) deposits, traditionally dominated by granites and felsic volcanic substrates. Recent discoveries and studies, such as those at Puxiong, underscore the potential of silica-undersaturated alkaline igneous rocks like nepheline syenite in contributing to REE resources [1].   Geology and mineralogy of the Puxiong deposit Located in Southwest China, the Puxiong deposit is notable for its formation through the weathering of nepheline syenite, which has undergone partial hydrothermal enrichment in REEs. This syenite registers REE concentrations that range dramatically from 177 to 9,336 parts per million (ppm). The mineralogical composition includes significant percentages of REEs hosted in minerals such as britholite-(Ce), tritomite-(Ce), and cerite-(Ce), which collectively contribute to approximately 60% of the total REE content. Additional REEs are found in secondary minerals within the K-feldspar and less abundantly in other minerals like titanite and hiortdahlite. Figure 1: Puxiong Geology (Source: Economic Geology)   Weathering and REE Mobilisation The weathering process is critical in the formation of regolith hosted REE deposits.  At Puxiong, REEs are released from primary minerals into soil solutions. Subsequently, they adsorb onto clay minerals or precipitate as supergene phases such as rhabdophane. The clay minerals, particularly illite and halloysite, exhibit higher ion exchange capacities than those derived from granitic sources, enhancing their ability to capture and concentrate REEs. Figure 2: Photographs of the regolith and parent nepheline syenite (Source: Economic Geology) Spatial distribution of REEs   The spatial distribution of REEs within the deposit reveals that the highest concentrations of heavy REEs (HREEs) occur at the footslope, averaging 110 ppm.  Meanwhile, the lighter REEs (LREEs) are more abundant in the B horizon at hilltops.   This distribution pattern is influenced by the topographical features and the mobility of REEs within the weathering profile, driven by groundwater and soil solutions.    Strategic Significance and Environmental Considerations   REEs are increasingly crucial due to their applications in high-technology and defence industries.   The ease of mining and processing regolith-hosted deposits, such as those at Puxiong, offers a strategic advantage over more conventional hard-rock mining methods.  Moreover, the development of new mining technologies, such as electrokinetic mining, promises to enhance REE recovery while minimising environmental impacts.  Global Implications   The Puxiong deposit provides a new perspective on the potential for nepheline syenite-derived regolith-hosted REE deposits.  it also invites further exploration and study in other regions with similar geological settings.   Understanding the geochemical behaviour of REEs in these unique environments can guide future exploration and exploitation strategies, potentially leading to the discovery of new economically viable deposits.  Conclusion   The study of the Puxiong REE deposit not only expands the geological understanding of regolith hosted REE deposits but also underscores the importance of alternative sources for these critical materials.   As global demand for REEs continues to rise, the insights gained from Puxiong and similar deposits are crucial for securing a sustainable supply of these indispensable elements.  Get Deeper Insights The latest and most reliable information from experienced sources, that are completely unbiased are now available through a Paid Membership.
