  • Sustainable Mining and the Impact to the Environment

    Samso on Mining HQ Podcasts Ep.22 - start 00:26 The whole meaning of sustainable mining is kind of contradictory as what we take out of the ground is not going to be generated and all mining has an environmental impact. We all know that the statement I have just made is merely a statement of the obvious. As a mining community, it has always been about having the least amount of footprint and the least amount of environmental impact. The concept of lowering environmental impact has been around for decades. This is not a new phenomenon and listeners should take note that proponents of the mining industry are always looking for ways to mine in a compliant manner. It is now good for business to be known as a master of green mining. In my opinion, the measure of being sustainable and being environmentally compliant is the hard path. As I described earlier, it is difficult to get all those ducks in a row and keep them in that row.

  • Tempest Minerals Limited (ASX:TEM) - New Findings for Meleya.

    Coffee with Samso 149 is with Don Smith, Managing Director of Tempest Minerals Limited (ASX:TEM) and it is all about the new findings for the Meleya project. Mineral Exploration is all about patience. Tempest has a very interesting project in Meleya. In my opinion, the discovery is a proof of concept. The geology looks fertile, the structure is observed in the core and the geology is consistent with mineralisation. What I like about the whole concept is that the desktop observation now has two drill holes. The assays may not have been mind boggling but when has mineral exploration been one that hits the mark on the very first go? Investors need to remember that this is a grassroots project. This is why they got the funding from the government. I feel the injustice is that the market in all its buoyancy has created expectations that are hard to meet. The market is looking for big numbers but what the market has missed is that the geology has shown that their interpretation was spot on. What the market sees as a negative is, in fact, a big positive. This is the classic case of missing the King in the peasant clothing and admiring the nobleman in the golden robe. As an exploration geologist, our goals are never aligned with the aspirations of the share price. When I saw the core in the core shed, what I saw was alteration and lots of geology that could host mineralisation. In this episode of Coffee with Samso, we hear the frustration of a Managing Director and that of a geologist. That is also coupled with the optimism that they have now proven their concept and that the mineralising fluids do exist.

  • Red Dirt Metals Limited (ASX:RDT) - Mt Ida - A Lithium and Gold Mine.

    Rooster Talk Episode 61 is with Matthew Boyes, Managing Director of Red Dirt Metals Limited (ASX: RDT). The Mt Ida project is fast becoming a double bonus for Red Dirt Metals as exploration is unveiling the gold credits. When we were first introduced to the Mt. Ida project (Red Dirt Metals Limited (ASX:RDT) - A Lithium Gem within a Gold Mine.) in April 2022, we were just trying to understand the lithium potential. As the market was having a lithium boom, it would be foolish not to discuss what the flavour of the last two years has been. As we were talking through that Coffee with Samso with Matt Boyes, I was really interested in the gold potential. The Mt Ida story is very similar to what occurred at Mt. Holland a few years ago. For those that have not heard the story, Mt Holland was all about the discovery of a lithium bonanza because of a phone call. Mt. Holland was a legitimate gold mining project but was later discovered to be an even greater lithium project. When you hear Matt talk about the lithium prospectivity in Mt. Ida, you can hear the frustration of not being able to rush into the gold project. The potential is yet to be finalised. In saying that, you can also feel the frustration of not being able to unwrap the potential of the lithium prospectivity. The fact that there is still a large package of landholding that the company has not explored is definitely high on the list of things to do. Matt is certain that there will be a resource coming out for the lithium and in time, there will be a gold resource to be released as well. When that will be is the million dollar question. Check out this video - this is definitely a good story to follow. Chapters: 00:00 Start. 00:20 Introduction. 01:07 Matthew updates. 02:38 Relationship between Gold and Lithium. 03:56 Mineralisation of Lithium and Gold. 06:41 Announcement key points for investors. 08:18 Understanding the geology from the announcement. 10:35 Future plans for the project. 11:59 Lithium market discussion. 15:24 Updates on covering the entire tenement package. 16:57 Potential focus on Gold. 19:49 Exploration potential. 21:32 Matthew summarises the news flow. 22:54 Conclusions. PODCAST This is a good time to download the first Ebook (FREE) from Samso as it is all about VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulfides). About Matthew Boyes Managing Director Mr Boyes is a qualified Geologist and Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy with 25 years industry experience and a strong background in minerals resources, project development, construction and operations management. Mr Boyes has recently served as COO for AIM listed Patagonia Gold successfully overseeing the development and construction of two standalone Gold-Silver heap leach projects in southern Argentina. Mr Boyes has significant experience in product evaluations and financing with a focus on the junior market sector. About Red Dirt Metals Limited (ASX: RDT) Red Dirt is focused on the development and evaluation of underexplored brownfields exploration assets in Western Australia. Mt Ida Gold Pty Ltd is the holding company of the Mt Ida Gold Project, comprising 19 tenements in the historical Mt Ida gold mining district, located approximately 100km north-west of Menzies in the WA goldfields. The project tenements cover an area of 155km2 and include the historic Timoni Gold Mine and others, which have produced greater than 300,000 oz gold at 17.2 g/t head grade. Highlights: Acquired from Ora Banda Mining in September 2021 for $11M cash A current gold resource of 318,000 t @13.8g/t gold for 141koz calculated under the JORC 2004 guidelines Evidence of occurrences of Lithium-bearing pegmatites with Tantalum Exploration activities to commence immediately October 2021 The Mt Ida project has total resources of 318,000 t @13.8g/t of gold for 141koz, Indicated resources total 136,000t @ 18.6 g/t gold for 81koz with 182,000t @ 10.3 g/t gold for 60koz in Inferred category. All resource currently stated at Mt Ida are calculated under the JORC 2004 guidelines with no material change to the existing resources since estimation. Lithium Review: Whilst undertaking the technical due diligence of the Mt Ida Project, it was noted that multiple high-grade lithium intervals had been intersected within pegmatite bodies on the western contact of the main Mt Ida granite intrusive, known as the Copperfield Granite. Initial investigations from available data shows pegmatite outcropping in 5 separate locations proximal to the main granitic intrusive, and along the contact with the western bounding mafic amphibolite units which host the high-grade Mt Ida gold copper lodes. A preliminary target corridor has been interpreted and extends for up to 5 km in strike from the most southern-identified outcrop parallel to the granite and north into the Company’s adjacent exploration tenement, with potential to extend further in both directions. Of significance is that no historic exploration has been carried out with the intention of targeting these Lithium bearing pegmatite intrusives. This opens up large areas on both the eastern and western limbs of the granitic intrusive contacts for future exploration and will complement the Company’s aggressive gold/copper exploration program at the Mt Ida Project.

  • Great Boulder Resources Limited (ASX: GBR) - Discovery of a New Mineralised System - Ironbark

    Rooster Talk Episode 59 is with Andrew Paterson, Managing Director of Great Boulder Resources Limited (ASX: GBR) This is an update on the Side Well Project which is about the recent drilling results with the discovery of new mineralisation at Ironbark. Great Boulder Resources appear to have a mineralised province with Side Well as the system that is producing metals in Ironbark, which is distinctly different to what is happening at Mulga Bill. Andrew shares with us why this appears to be the case. Ironbark is 1.4km to the east of Mulga Bill. The drilling results may be showing that there is a series of potential pods of mineralisation which will help the overall picture of potential for Side Well. An intercept of 20m @ 3.05 g/t of gold should not be ignored. In any project, this is a clear indication of mineralisation that is not isolated. In my opinion, the discovery of these kinds of drill intercepts may be an early indication of a level of gold endowment which would excite any company. The excitement stems from the fact that it is within a province that has already shown continuous mineralisation at Mulga Bill. If you are isolated without Mulga Bill, it would make sense to question the potential. However, if you are in a decent system, you would expect numerous deposits nearby. What is interesting with the results coming out from the announcements is that there is a clear horizon where the gold is being identified. It is still early to make a decision of the future potential, but it is looking promising. The presence of copper at Mulga Bill and the lack of copper (currently) at Ironbark is determining the perception of difference at Side Well. It is this that should be noted for audiences. Chapters: 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 00:55 Andrew updates on Great Boulder Resources Limited. 01:24 Is Ironbark similar to Mulga Bill? 02:50 Will the Ironbark mineralisation be a similar system to Mulga Bill? 03:24 Geologically, can multi systems exist in a similar area? 05:44 Is multi system a good thing for Side Well? 07:00 Is the copper in Mulga Bill significant? 08:40 Is Great Boulder Resources feeling like Side Well will be a Mine? 10:28 Will Mulga Bill be a series of pits along strike? 11:29 Is the copper a good or a bad thing for the project? 13:32 Mineralisation seems to happen in the same horizon. 14:31 Is IP the holy grail for Great Boulder? 16:27 Is geophysics being used more today than 20 years ago? 17:34 News flow for Great Boulder Resources Limited. 19:45 What does Andrew think of the current market sentiment? 22:37 Why this is a good time to look at good companies. 23:24 Andrew's last words. 23:46 Conclusions PODCAST About Andrew Paterson Andrew is a geologist with over 25 years’ experience in mining and exploration in Australia and PNG. After graduating from WASM in 1993, he spent several years in surface and underground gold and nickel mining operations around the WA Goldfields before moving into a management role with Harmony Gold. Since then, Andrew has managed diverse programs exploring for gold, nickel, iron ore and lithium for companies including Atlas Iron and Focus Minerals. In 2016 Andrew was part of the management team that recapitalised Kingston Resources, leading to Kingston’s successful acquisition of the 2.8Moz Misima Gold Project in PNG. About Great Boulder Resources Limited (ASX: GBR) Great Boulder is a mineral exploration company looking for gold and base metals in Western Australia.

    Client Testimonial from Alex Biggs, Managing Director of Critical Resources Limited (ASX:CRR) For Alex Biggs, having the time to ease into an in-depth conversation on Coffee with Samso allows shareholders to gain a proper understanding of the company.

  • Update on Meleya Project - Discovery and Proof of Concept - Tempest Minerals Limited (ASX: TEM)

    Rooster Talk Episode 58 is with Don Smith, Managing Director, Tempest Minerals Limited (ASX:TEM) It's been a while since the exciting discovery of a large sulphide system at Meleya. I have been very keen to get to see the rocks and have a discussion with Don. In my opinion, the rocks will be the key to the continuation of the story. Prior to the drilling, the general discussion was primarily on the the potential of the geology being similar to Golden Grove VMS deposit. When Tempest announced the drilling results on 28th March 2022, there was general excitement in the market. The realisation from the concept is now closer to fact. However, there is still a wait on the actual numbers of the assays. Irrespective of the numbers, I think there is no denying that there is some sort of a discovery at Meleya. In this episode of Rooster Talk, I asked Don about the geology. The geology from the drilling is the key factor. I wanted to hear Don´s thoughts on whether this was a Discovery or a Proof of Concept. We also talked about the numerous alterations within the length of the hole which points to a large cooking system that could be endowed with metals. The main takeaway for this episode is the importance of having a good understanding of the geology of the area. The assay numbers will be interesting. Nevertheless, I suspect that will not be the conclusive answer for or against the project. There will be more drilling and more discussions to come. In my opinion, this is proof that the geology is similar and it is mineralised. This has been a great conversation and I like their method of understanding the geology first before rushing out to drill holes. Chapters 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 02:10 Discovery or Proof of Concept? 03:16 Let´s talk geology of both drill holes. 06:03 Where is the geological thinking now? 07:15 How can Investors understand your geology? 08:50 What is Tempest thinking now? 10:27 Are there any issues with the progress of Tempest? 11:23 Other Projects. 14:25 News Flow. 15:21 Why Tempest? 16:20 Conclusion Watch the interview here or see the video above.

  • Pan Asia Metals Limited (ASX: PAM) - An Economical Lithium Story in Thailand.

    Coffee with Samso Episode 144 with Paul Lock, Executive Chairman and Managing Director of Pan Asia Metals Limited (ASX: PAM) is all about the next steps in making the Lithium story in Thailand a reality. The company has been transformed since we last spoke in May 2021. The market capitalisation of the company has tripled since our first Coffee with Samso . The story of a company with aspirations to become a lithium producer within a stone's throw from major automotive manufacturers is now at a reality stage of the journey. Pan Asia Metals is now on the verge of announcing their maiden Mineral Resource Estimate which will highlight the true potential of the company. Pan Asia Metals is on its way to establishing itself as a mature lithium player on the ASX. Our market is on our doorstep: The Eastern Economic Corridor in Thailand - where there's a big push in LIBs and EVs. Thailand is the 4th largest auto producer in Asia and the largest in SE Asia and has a very comprehensive EV and battery policy because they want to retain their market position. Some viewers who look at this story may feel a large jurisdiction issue. However, Paul Lock makes some supportive narratives which explain why he is so confident about making this story work for his shareholders. In the past, there was no real demand on lithium, so there was no focus on cost structures. Now, with an increasing demand, there's been an increasing focus on extracting more for less - cost structures look better. That's what's happening in China. As the market is consolidating itself with the recent turbulent movements, it is another argument in finding the right company with management that has the right strategy. The reason we are in SE Asia is because we want to be competitive and want to be near our consumers. It's all about being low on the cost curve so we can ride out the market cycle in the long term.

    Rooster Talk Episode 57 with Brad Underwood, Executive Chair and Managing Director of Galileo Mining Limited (ASX: GAL) is all about the discovery of the Palladium province from the last round of drilling. The systematic approach that Galileo has been using to explore has now been rewarded with the confirmation of a palladium prospect in Norseman, Western Australia. This episode is a discussion on the discovery of Callisto. Six RC drillholes have results returning anomalous grades which are making the Callisto prospect a discovery that has got the share price of Galileo rising. Callisto is a mineralised sulphide unit developed at the base of an ultramafic sill where it intrudes into sedimentary rocks. NRC266 returned significant palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel mineralisation over 33m; 33m @ 2.00g/t 3E (1) (1.64g/t Pd, 0.28g/t Pt, 0.09g/t Au), 0.32% Cu & 0.30% Ni from 144m incl. 6m @ 2.69g/t 3E (2.21 g/t Pd,0.37 g/t Pt,0.11 g/t Au), 0.41% Cu & 0.36% Ni from 159m and 1m @ 3.21 g/t 3E (2.66 g/t Pd, 0.41 g/t Pt, 0.14 g/t Au), 0.48% Cu & 0.46% Ni from 176m Numbers like these are going to make the next phase of drilling interesting to say the least. Watch the interview: Rooster Talk Episode 57 Brad is measuring this to the Platreef deposit on the northern limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. Deposits like Platreef are generally very large in nature and have combined resources of greater than 700Mt at a 1g/t 3PGE + Au cut off. These deposits normally contain metals such as palladium, platinum, gold, rhodium, copper and nickel.

  • Improved visibility in the retail investment space for Aurumin Limited (ASX:AUN)

    Client Testimonial from Brad Valiukas, Managing Director of Aurumin Limited (ASX:AUN) Brad Valiukas is seeing results from his coffee chats with Samso and plans to return for more conversations. Brad Valiukas: "I really decided to do Coffee with Samso because of the number of views from previous interviews on Youtube. I had also been watching other Coffee with Samso interviews, and these were the determining factors. I appreciated the opportunity to tell the company's story in detail at a time when we were looking to increase our retail holders after an institutional heavy IPO. I had a good experience on Coffee with Samso. In fact, we had 28k views when we did the Sandstone acquisition episode. We were super happy with that and I enjoy the relaxed but informed chats. For me, the value Samso brought to me is how it improved our visibility in the retail investment space, and I think we benefited from that. I think the Coffee with Samso concept is a good one, and I will do it again. I think this will be an avenue we will use to communicate to shareholders going forward. I would definitely recommend Samso, and hopefully Noel keeps a bit of a filter in place!"
