Andrew Drummond is the author of two books, Rocks In Our Heads and More Rocks In Our Heads. He is a seasoned geologist who has seen and done numerous things that can only be described in a book and on Samso Insights. The book is a compilation of stories that showcase the extraordinary lengths which geologists are willing to go for the love of the job. This is a great insight into the thinking and the passion that make geologists such a special breed. Geologists do what they do for the love of the adventure and the discovery. I think this is the nearest profession that takes the mind into the realms of adventure - the kind of adventure that is promoted in movies such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark". These guys are the "Indian Jones" of the world. The guy sitting in the African, South American, Mongolian pubs after a day's work is what this book brings to the everyday readers. People today think that the guy in the office is the real geologist or the guy sitting on a drill rig logging cores. They are not the ones that make these jobs available. It is the one who goes into the heat, rain, and sometimes dangerous places that makes projects work. A story that I know which is not in any of the books, is that of Caigan Wang, the Managing Director of Tietto Minerals Limited (ASX: TIE)  who has the sheer tenacity of going into the business of Africa to get the project for the company. The story of Caigan Wang is a story that could be in the two books written by Andrew Drummond is all about. If you want to have a good read about how some of these non-Australian projects work and not work, or have an understanding of the amount of work that is required, get these books and get ready for the real adventure of exploration.

He has been a, or the, principal driver of ASX-listed Zephyr Minerals NL (now Lepidico Minerals Ltd), Westonia Mines Ltd (now Evolution Mines Ltd), Bonaparte Diamond Mines Ltd, and Minemakers Ltd, for each of which he has been an executive director. He has also been a director of several other ASX-listed and public unlisted companies, and of companies listed on the Toronto or Namibian stock exchanges. Andrew had extensive experience in exploration, feasibility and mining in Australia, New Zealand, Namibia, The Philippines, Russia, China and several other countries. Andrew is a geologist, having graduated with B.Sc (Hons) from Adelaide University in 1973. He is a FAusIMM, MGSA, and MAIG. He has recently collected and edited a suite of stories, by largely Australian geologists concerning their efforts trying to find, deal upon or develop mineral deposits in far flung and exotic parts of the world. The stories have been published as "Rocks In Our Heads". The second book is called "More Rocks In Our Heads".

Coffee with Samso Experience

Richard Brescianini is back with Coffee with Samso Episode 191 and shares with us the path forward with Heavy Rare Earths Limited (ASX: HRE). I have always said that Richard Brescianini, the Executive Director of Heavy Rare Minerals Limited, is the best person when it comes to understanding how the Rare Earth sector functions. Richard has had a long history of experience within the sector and in this Coffee with Samso, he shares with us what is happening with HRE and about the path forward in 2024. Investors are facing a reality check in the rare earth sector, as they search for viable contenders among the limited number of companies remaining. While there is a growing interest in pursuing "ionic" projects in Brazil, it is crucial for everyone to carefully evaluate the economic feasibility of such ventures. In this episode, Richard and I delve into the key factors that drive the success of a business. We explore the crucial role of acid in metal extraction, as using more acid leads to higher metal yields. However, we acknowledge that the cost of acid extraction poses a significant challenge, and it's important to consider all other aspects of the business as well. When it comes to Australian Clay Rare Earth projects, they may not possess all the advantageous properties typically associated with a strong REE project. However, they do offer lower jurisdiction risks, which in turn present challenges in establishing a sustainable infrastructure. It is essential for projects to maintain consistency across various aspects, including metallurgical factors and grade, within the deposit. Furthermore, we delve into the exploration updates on Duke and Perinjori projects. Our discussion revolves around the merits of the Duke project and the latest developments in its exploration efforts. Samso's Conclusion Investors and companies in the Rare Earth sector must adopt a long-term perspective on commercialization. It is widely acknowledged that working on clay rare earth projects has been a challenging and arduous journey. There have been concerns that companies promoting these projects will face unfavorable outcomes. The prevailing bearish sentiment in the equity market further reinforces these doubts. I must confess that I shared similar reservations. I questioned whether the demand and excitement surrounding this sector would be sustainable. However, my recent attendance at a Rare Earth Conference in Canberra completely changed my perspective. Over the course of three days, I was fully engaged and attentive, only missing one talk. The conference rekindled my enthusiasm for the sector and left me feeling invigorated. The primary reason is that a significant amount of money has already been invested. Additionally, there is substantial funding available to establish a new downstream chain outside of China. Prior to attending the conference, I heard a lot of talk, but it's important to approach such information with caution. However, after attending the conference, I am now convinced that the talk is legitimate and the demand for more rare earth elements (REE) is credible. While the establishment of the downstream process is not yet complete, progress has been made. The amount of money pledged to establish a non-China-aligned downstream chain is astonishing. The projected demand for REE in our electrification journey suggests that companies like HRE will have long-term viability. Therefore, for those interested in this sector, I recommend some DYOR and delving into what is happening beyond the noise of general news. Take the time to explore the developments in the real world of REE.

Richard’s experience extends further, including his time working as the Director of the Northern Territory Government’s Geological Survey in Darwin, and being part of the executive management team for rare earths developer, Arafura Resources. About Heavy Rare Earths Limited (ASX: HRE) Heavy Rare Earths Limited (ASX:HRE) is an Australian rare earth exploration and development company. Rare earth materials are used in a wide array of technology and future facing applications, including smart phones, wind energy, and hybrid and electric vehicles. HRE’s key exploration project is Cowalinya, near Norseman in Western Australia. This is a clay-hosted rare earth project with a JORC Inferred Resource of 28Mt @ 625ppm TREO and a desirable rare earth composition where 25% are the valuable magnet rare earths and 23% the strategic heavy rare earths. The company has completed a 441 drill hole program confirming widespread occurrence of shallow, thick and/or high grade rare earth mineralisation. The Company anticipates a Mineral Resource update and an estimate Exploration Target for the project in Q3 2023. Cowalinya Project - Western Australia The Cowalinya rare earth project is located 70 km south-east of Norseman in Western Australia. It comprises a single 230 km2 exploration licence E63/1972 on unallocated crown land hosting dominantly granitic type rocks in the Central Biranup Zone of the Albany Fraser Orogen. The mineralisation being targeted is shallow, flat lying, supergene concentrations of rare earths present in the weathering profile overlying granitic basement. This mineralisation is similar in style to southern Chinese ionic rare earth clay deposits, the world’s main source of heavy rare earths. Although this type of rare earth deposit is low grade, low-cost open pit mining and simple inexpensive metallurgy make them profitable to exploit. The Cowalinya area was primarily chosen on the basis of historical drilling which indicated the presence of anomalous rare earths in fresh bedrock and higher grade supergene concentrations of rare earths in the overlying in-situ weathered saprolite profile. In June 2021 HRE drilled 109 aircore holes at Cowalinya by HRE discovered significant supergene concentrations of rare earths in two areas, Cowalinya South and North. The rare earths mineralisation, occurring as flat lying sheets within the in-situ clay-rich weathered saprolite, is contained within an average ~8-9 m thick layer which starts ~17-18 m below surface. Independent resource consultant JMCT Consulting was engaged to prepare and report Cowalinya’s maiden Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the project in accordance with the 2012 JORC Code: 28 Mt @ 625 ppm TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides) using a 300 ppm TREO-Cerium Oxide (CeO2) cut-off grade. Importantly, the resource has a desirable rare earths composition where 25% are the valuable magnet rare earths and 23% the strategic heavy rare earths, and very low average concentrations of radioelements (15 ppm ThO2, 5 ppm U3O8). Mr John Tyrrell of JMCT Consulting is the Competent Person for the Cowalinya Mineral Resource estimate (in accordance with 2012 JORC Code). TREO = La2O3+CeO2+Pr6O11+Nd2O3+Sm2O3+Eu2O3+Gd2O3+Tb4O7+Dy2O3+Ho2O3+Er2O3+Tm2O3+Yb2O3+Lu2O3+Y2O3. Magnet REOs = Pr6O11+Nd2O3+Tb4O7+Dy2O3 ; Totals may not add due to rounding ; Reported above a TREO-CeO2 cut-off grade of 300 ppm The resource at Cowalinya remains open in all lateral directions and currently covers only a small proportion (<1.5%) of the project tenement. Preliminary metallurgical test-work on 40 samples from the 2021 drilling program shows the rare earths are successfully brought into solution using a weak hydrochloric acid leach. Recoveries of >90% for some of the rare earths have been achieved. Upgrade of Mineral Resource Resource Exploration and Expansion Drilling Program – 2023 The Company has successfully completed a 441-hole resource exploration and expansion drilling program at Cowalinya (refer to ASX announcements). These assays confirmed the widespread occurrence of shallow, thick and/or high-grade rare earth mineralisation in clay-rich saprolite over a 14 x 3-kilometre area west and south-west of the Cowalinya South deposit (Figure 1). This Western Zone discovery is open to the north and northwest, has an average thickness of 11.3 metres, and includes the following significant drill intercepts (on a grade-thickness basis) reported during the quarter: 19 metres @ 3190 ppm TREO from 16 metres (AC225) 10 metres @ 2087 ppm TREO from 17 metres (AC221) 26 metres @ 1201 ppm TREO from 19 metres (AC360) 17 metres @ 1069 ppm TREO from 11 metres (AC223) 42 metres @ 790 ppm TREO from 12 metres (AC226) Disclaimer The information or opinions provided herein do not constitute investment advice, an offer or solicitation to subscribe for, purchase or sell the investment product(s) mentioned herein.

Coffee with Samso Episode 189 is with Mike Haynes, Managing Director and CEO of New World Resources Limited (ASX:NWC). In our previous conversation with New World Resources Limited (ASX:NWC) the focus was on getting mining happening. Today the mining process is in place. While they are currently undergoing necessary procedures, they are also actively pursuing highly promising exploration targets. There is a scarcity of stories on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) that revolve around copper, especially high-grade copper. The Antler project, within the copper mineral exploration industry, is widely regarded as a technically robust project. It can now be better classified as a near-producer story as the company progresses into the mine planning stage. Those readers who have watched the earlier Coffee with Samso episode of Mike Haynes introducing the Antler project would be familiar with the high-grade nature of the copper story in 2021 and 2022 (see below). Samso has been showcasing the New World Resources Limited story since March 2021. A VMS Story - The Antler High-Grade Copper Project - New World Resources Ltd(ASX:NWC) - Episode 79 New World Resources Limited (ASX: NWC) - A Near Term High Grade Copper Producer Story | CWS Ep. 166 I have full confidence that the Antler project of New World Resources would successfully pass a rigorous due diligence process. The abundance of technical information and the untapped potential of the resource are undeniable. The only obstacles that remain are the mining process and the stability of the copper price. In this episode, Mike brings to the attention of the Samso community the Antler project and the exciting prospects of other high-grade copper projects in their portfolio. Figure 1: Copper price chart. (source: www.tradingeconomics.com) Mike Haynes provides an overview of the company's upcoming plans, highlighting the exploration targets within the Antler project and the new Javelin project located approximately 75km south-east from Antler. The Javelin VMS project has shown promising exploration results thus far, prompting New World Resource's strong interest in commencing work. Notably, it exhibits robust multi-element anomalies that were defined in May 2023. Furthermore, the project's northern third, which was completed in July 2023, reveals exceptional IP anomalies, further substantiating the project's significance. According to Mike, the project has identified both shallow VMS and deeper 1.2km x 1.0km porphyry copper targets. New World Resources plans to initiate a drilling program in Q4 of 2023. Samso's Thoughts As mentioned earlier, New World Resources is a highly recommended company to include in your watchlist for thorough research. The current bearish sentiment in the market has depressed equity prices in the small-cap sector, which presents a hidden opportunity for new investors in New World Resources. For existing shareholders, this may be a favourable time to consider averaging down their investments. I recall my Coffee with Samso with Rick Rule (Commodities and Equities: Advice from Rick Rule - Episode 70) , where he shared the story of his investment in Paladin Energy Limited (35:54 Rick and Paladin - The story of Investing in Mineral Explorers). Despite the stock price dropping to 1c, he remained confident in the project's quality, the company's management, and the factual truth behind it. If you have watched all the episodes of Coffee with Samso featuring Mike Haynes, you would have noticed the consistent nature of the conversations. Antler stands out in the industry due to its rare technical expertise. When considering technical attributes and potential, the Golden Grove VMS deposit in Western Australia serves as a suitable comparison for Antler. If you are interested in learning more about New World Resources, please don't hesitate to send me an email. I will gladly forward it to Mike Haynes. I highly encourage engaging in a dialogue with the management team, as they are more than willing to take the time to address any queries you may have.

In this episode of Coffee with Samso 188, we have David Groombridge, CEO of Riedel Resources Limited (ASX: RIE) sharing with us an update on exploration activities at the Kingman Project. The Riedel Resources story is one of the few real exploration plays on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). In this episode of Coffee with Samso, David Groombridge gives us a quick update on the project and what shareholders and potential investors should be looking out for in the coming months. Listen to our coffee conversation with David Groombridge here: Samso's Conclusion The Riedel journey exemplifies a typical mineral exploration experience. If I had a dollar for every time I mentioned this phrase, "a typical mineral exploration journey," I would be generously compensated. Unfortunately, in today's market, it is disheartening to acknowledge that there is a prevailing misconception within the investing community that profits can be achieved in a matter of weeks. Investors are solely focused on corporate maneouvers that yield shareholder gains, disregarding genuine mineral exploration outcomes. There is a distinct lack of genuine investor interest in the market. Even the mention of lithium, once considered a magical term, no longer holds the same allure. It is now recognised that possessing a pegmatite with spodumene is no longer a guaranteed path to share price appreciation. This means recognising that corporate support and favouritism are the only things that truly matter. It emphasises the importance of the individuals driving the narrative. While it may sound pessimistic, there is hope for a positive outcome. I firmly believe that time is the remedy that other "patient" investors must embrace. The crucial factor for the average investor is allowing projects to develop over time. The current bearish sentiment in the market has led to many companies being significantly undervalued. The key is to align yourself with a well-managed story that possesses the technical merits to thrive during the next bullish market phase. In my opinion, Riedel is one of those companies. Mike Bohm is a no-nonsense operator and the Kingman project is full of potential. The company is now established in the US and as David Groombridge puts it, there are opportunities out there for the taking. It is important to keep in mind that a bear market is a time when projects can be easily dislodged from their positions. The most promising projects are often acquired during bear markets, and they reap the rewards of their hard work when the bull market brings favourable conditions. Tune in to the Riedel story here. Chapters: 00:00 Start 00:49 Update from David Groombridge. 01:22 Any new Learnings at The Kingman project. 02:24 The Tintic - Jims Structural Corridor. 03:19 Any resemblance to Mineral Park? 05:04 What is the Exploration strategy now? 06:25 Exploration is a long-term proposition. 07:32 Any concerns with regulatory issues? 08:04 What would make investors worry and celebrate the Riedel story? 09:25 Any potential acquisition in play? 10:27 When will the resource come out? 10:48 Conclusion PODCAST David Groombridge Chief Executive Officer Qualifications: MEconGeol David is a geologist with a Masters in Economic Geology from the University of Tasmania. His career incorporates 20 years mining industry experience in multiple ore deposit styles, including nickel sulphides, tungsten, SedEx (sedimentary exhalative) and orogenic gold in both underground and surface roles, primarily in resource development and mineral exploration. He spent 12 years across senior management roles at Tectonic Resources and Silver Lake Resources before becoming Exploration Manager for Medallion Metals, where he has worked since 2016, focused on the 1.62Moz Au Eq. Ravensthorpe Gold Project. This WA-based project is a structurally hosted, high-grade gold system similar to the Kingman Project. About Riedel Resources Limited Riedel Resources (ASX: RIE) is an emerging mineral exploration company focused on advancing the historic high-grade Kingman Gold Project in North-West Arizona. The Kingman Project covers an area of historic gold-silver-lead-zinc mines that were in production from the 1880’s through to the early 1940’s. Diamond drilling in late 2019 confirmed the high grades seen in historic mining. RC drilling in early 2021 hits extensive gold, silver, zinc and lead mineralisation including 3.8m at 98.9 g/t gold and 151 g/t silver from 20.6m at Tintic and 4.6m at 8.39g/t gold from 100.6m at Merrimac. Further drilling subsequently confirmed gold, silver, zinc and lead mineralisation in multiple veins at Jim’s.

On today's Rooster Talk 42, Michael Bohm, Executive Chairman of Riedel Resources Limited (ASX:RIE) talks about the prospectivity of the Kingman Gold project. The company has just raised AUD1.8M and is aiming to step up the drilling within the Tintic prospect. The aim is to put some more colour onto the previous drilling program. As successful as it was to the market, Riedel Resources is aiming to better understand what degree of mineralisation exists and how it relates to the geophysical evidence. Michael Bohm shares with us what the company is currently thinking about all the drilling results and piecing together the next phase of drilling that will create more clarity in an evolving mineralised system.

Michael is a current Director of a number of ASX-listed companies and sits on their Audit & Risk and Remuneration Committees. Michael has had previous directorships at Argyle Diamonds Mines, Sally Malay Mining Limited and Ashton Mining of Canada. About Riedel Resources Riedel Resources (ASX:RIE) is an ASX-listed mineral exploration company earning into an advanced high-grade gold exploration project in north-west Arizona. The Kingman Project comprises approximately 200 contiguous mining claims located approximately 30km from the town of Kingman Arizona. The area was mined for high-grade gold and silver from the 1880’s to the early 1940’s and since then very little modern exploration has ever been carried out on the property. The Riedel board has extensive experience in minerals and mineral exploration in Australia, the US and Canada, amongst others. Kingman Gold Project The Kingman Gold Project is located near Kingman Arizona and only 90 minutes drive from downtown Las Vegas. The project was mined for high-grade gold and silver from the 1880s until the early 1940s which coincided with the outbreak of WWII. Following drilling in the 1990s, 11 diamond holes were drilled on the property in late 2019 and which intersected multiple zones of high-grade gold, silver and lead from shallow depths and confirmed the extensive mineralisation potential of the area. Riedel plans to aggressively drill and explore the project area during 2021.

Episode 187 of Coffee with Samso is with Guy Le Page, Non-Executive Director of Mount Ridley Mines Limited (ASX: MRD). Mount Ridley is now at the business end of the Rare Earth journey. Mount Ridley Mines is now focusing on the flow chart of the REE business. This is the money end, can you make the processing part cash flow positive? When I had my first Coffee with Samso with Guy Le Page, in July 2022 (Mount Ridley Mines Limited (ASX:MRD) - A Rare Earth Story.), it became evident that the company had a strong focus on optimising their flow chart. The company was confident in their ability to achieve the desired tonnage and grade, but their primary emphasis was on the final stage. In my view, one of the major benefits for companies like Mount Ridley is their project's location in the Esperance region. Numerous discussions have highlighted the region as the ideal site for the government to establish a Rare Earth Hub.

However, it is important to acknowledge that the industry is still in its early stages, and there will be a steep learning curve filled with uncertainty. The industry has successfully identified the process of leaching out the Rare Earth Elements (REE), but the economic outcome in terms of profitability remains uncertain. The REE sector, including both hard rock and "Clay/ionic/alluvial" types, has gained attention in investment circles due to recent geopolitical developments. China's dominance in this sector is widely recognised and understood. The previous discussion on REE in the investment community was short-lived in 2010, as the market experienced rapid fluctuations. However, the current rise of the REE sector has shown more resilience, having been present for a couple of years, largely due to the new "cold war" with China. Balancing the REE sector will require time, and investors in this sector must cultivate patience, akin to the patience required for fishing. It is frustrating to continually emphasize that mining projects are measured in terms of years to decades, while investors, particularly new ones, expect quick results within weeks or months. Unfortunately, such quick results are unlikely to occur. Regarding Mount Ridley, they have a solid strategy, and recent results indicate a viable business. However, the investment community needs to learn to be patient and learn to "PARK" their money.

About Mount Ridley Mines Limited (ASX:MRD) Mount Ridley Mines Limited is undertaking the exploration of a significant deposit of valuable clay-hosted rare earth elements in Western Australia. The Project was initially acquired for its nickel and copper sulphides potential and is now recognised as being prospective for ionic clay REE deposits. Currently, this style of deposit is mined and processed only in China and Myanmar. In November 2020 Mount Ridley Mines Limited (“MRD”) commenced a review of data for its namesake Mount Ridley Project and surrounding area. The review concluded that areas of the Biranup and Nornalup geological provinces in south-eastern Western Australia have the potential for REE mineralisation, and in particular, the style of mineralisation referred to as Ionic Adsorption Clay (IAC-REE). Globally, deposits of IAC-REE are most significant in southern China and are the world’s main source of heavy Rare Earth Elements. The Project REE mineralisation occurs as large, horizontal, near surface, sheet-like lenses up to a depth of 89 metres. REE mineralisation is interpreted to be present within the in-situ saprolite clay horizon. Patchy lower grade zones occur within transported cover which may vector towards stronger REE mineralisation deeper within the regolith. Geological Survey of Western Australia (DMIRS) mapping [Figure1] shows that the Mount Ridley Project REE mineralisation occurs within the weathered mantle (regolith) of the Recherche Super-suite, which is described as “granitic and mafic gneiss; may include intrusions of Esperance Super-suite”. While the source of the REE mineralisation is currently unknown, a detailed sample and litho-geochemistry dataset from bottom of hole aircore samples has been established which includes whole-rock chemical analyses, sample pulps and some end-of-hole air core samples. These samples and data are being studied by the Company’s consultant geochemist to identify the primary rock-type and whether units are REE-enriched. Re-assay of 950 air core samples (162 pending) returned significant REE values over an apparent strike in excess of 25 km with over 20 samples returning >1,000 ppm Mineralisation remains open in all directions with a peak value so far at the Keith’s Prospect from MRAC0711 with 10,461ppm (1.05%) from 23m downhole. Significant REE intersections have been identified and grouped into 5 prospects – Winston’s, Keith’s, The Lake, Tyrell’s and Marcellus. Planning underway for a 25,000m aircore program to test newly acquired tenements in addition to step-out and infill holes.

In Episode 186 of Coffee with Samso, Dr Mike Jones, the Managing Director of Impact Minerals Limited (ASX: IPT), educates us on the ins and outs of the HPA business. The HPA (High Purity Alumina) story for Impact Minerals is now all about the economic process of making HPA. There are no longer any questions on the tonnage or the grade. In simple terms, the company is at the business end of the mineral resource sector. One of the key aspects of understanding Impact Minerals is to have a clear view of the company's business. Impact is in the business of HPA and what that means is that it needs to deliver High Purity Alumina in the 3N or 4N level (Figure 1). When considering companies like Impact Minerals, the initial association is often with mineral exploration. However, it is important to view Impact from a fresh perspective. In this episode, Dr. Mike Jones discusses the company's current focus on the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) phase, which aims to determine the profitability of the Lake Hope HPA project. This shift in focus highlights Impact's commitment to reaching a stage of financial success, distinguishing it from the negative reputation often associated with mineral exploration companies. Listen to our coffee conversation with Dr. Mike Jones here: Samso's Conclusion Impact Minerals is a company that often goes unnoticed despite its promising projects. Currently, they are actively promoting the Lake Hope project, which has been discussed extensively by Mike during the past two Coffee with Samso sessions. It is evident that the Lake Hope HPA project holds significant value for the company. Impact Minerals Limited (ASX: IPT) - A Low Cost HPA story in Western Australia. It is worth mentioning that Impact Minerals' Broken Hill project was among the six projects worldwide selected for the prestigious BHP Xplor program. On 17th of January 2023, the company issued a release providing further details about their participation in the BHP Xplor program. BHP Xplor, an accelerator program introduced by BHP in August 2022, is designed to help provide participants with the opportunity to accelerate their growth and the potential to establish a long-term partnership with BHP and its global network of partners. Impact received up to US$500,000 in cash payments from BHP over the next six months and gained access to a network of internal and external experts to help guide development in the technical, business, and operational aspects of the company. This means that the management of Impact demonstrated credibility by successfully participating in and gaining acceptance for the Broken Hill project. This is a significant achievement, as only six recipients were chosen for this program, indicating a high level of quality. While the market trader may perceive Impact Minerals' market capitalisation of 34.37M as high, there is an underlying value that will yield positive results in the future. The Arkun project, which we discussed in a recent episode of Coffee with Samso, is located in a jurisdiction occupied by Tier-1 resource companies like Anglo-American. This provides strong evidence of its prospectivity (Figure 2). The Lake Hope project is currently in the "Feasibility" stage, and the initial excitement surrounding it has diminished in the market. However, this does not undermine the value that Impact Minerals is creating for its shareholders. There are two aspects of Impact Minerals that I appreciate. Firstly, the Lake Hope project is undeniably the company's flagship at the moment. Secondly, there is potential for significant growth from the Arkun and Broken Hill projects. Tune in to Mike's thoughts here.

His Ph.D work on gold mineralisation saw him move to Western Australia in 1988 to work for Western Mining Corporation exploring for gold and nickel deposits in the Yilgarn. From 1994 he consulted to the exploration and mining industry specialising in the integration of geological field mapping and the interpretation of geochemical, geophysical and remotely sensed data for target generation. Dr Jones has worked on over 80 projects both in greenfields and near mine exploration in a wide variety of mineralised terrains and was the founding director of Lithofire Consulting Geologists in Perth, Australia. He was also the team leader during the discovery of a significant gold deposit at the Higginsville Mining Centre, near Kalgoorlie and an iron ore deposit near Newman, both in Western Australia. About Impact Minerals Minerals Limited Impact Minerals Limited (ASX: IPT) is an exploration company listed on the ASX in November 2006. The Company manages extensive tenement holdings (>4,000 km2) within Australia featuring significant potential for high-grade mineral deposits of gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper, nickel and PGMs. The Directors of the Company have extensive experience in mineral exploration and a strong history of exploration success, business development and corporate management. Impact Minerals intends to build wealth for its shareholders through a vigorous campaign of project generation and evaluation with the aim of building profitable mining operations. As a well-established company with a strong presence in the industry, Impact's projects, such as the Broken Hill and Arkun projects, are of significant importance and would be considered major endeavors in any other ASX companies. The Broken Hill project, situated just 20km away from the renowned Broken Hill silver-lead-zinc mine in New South Wales, is a Ni-Cu-PGE project (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The geology of this project holds immense potential, making it an attractive prospect for investors and enthusiasts alike. As an observer, I have been closely following Impact Minerals and their projects for quite some time. Impact has shown that the very high grade palladium and platinum mineralisation at the Red Hill, Platinum Springs and Moorkaie Prospects and the Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) mineralisation at the Copper Blow Prospect (ASX:SCI) are hosted by and related to alkaline magmatic rocks (Figure 2), (ASX Announcement 13th December 2018). Figure 2: Location of alkaline magma trends in the Broken Hill area. The Little Broken Hill to Moorkaie Trend contains rocks of potassic ultramafic to alkaline gabbro composition. The Copper Flat to Staurolite Ridge Trend contains rocks of alkaline gabbro to carbonatite composition. An offset of the Copper Blow Trend is interpreted to the south of the Thackeringa Fault Zone. (Source: Impact Minerals Limited) The Arkun project (Figure 3) which covers about 850 square kilometres is between York and Corrigin, which is approximately 100 km east of Perth. The project was first identified as an area of anomalous nickel-copper-gold anomalies in publicly available regional geochemistry data sets. What I like about this project is that it is now considered to be in a mobile belt that is prospective for "Julimar" type mineralisation. The discovery of Julimar has now opened up this whole region. A subsequent interpretation of regional magnetic data by Impact has identified the area as lying within a major deformation zone or mobile belt that trends NW-SE from the Moora-Julimar-Yarawindah area through Arkun and which may contain deformed and metamorphosed equivalents of those rocks. This belt is generally not recognised in many regional geology maps and yet is self-evident in the magnetic data. This is a significant breakthrough in understanding for Impact Minerals Limited. The BHP Xplor Program Impact Minerals has been selected to take part in the prestigious BHP Xplor program, showcasing their exceptional Broken Hill project. This recognition not only highlights the project's outstanding quality but also acknowledges the remarkable efforts and achievements of the company. Considering the rigorous selection process and the multitude of projects submitted, being chosen is a true testament to Impact Minerals' positive impact. The Lake Hope HPA Project will change the future of Impact Minerals Limited. The Lake Hope Project covers numerous prospective salt lakes between Hyden and Norseman in southern Western Australia, a Tier One jurisdiction (Figure 4). The project covers about 238 sqkm and are all owned by the vendor, Playa One. The Lake Hope area has unique climatic and geological characteristics that have resulted in the formation of what is probably a globally unique deposit of aluminium-rich material within the surficial clay layers of two small salt lakes, or “pans”, in the Lake Hope playa system. The lake clays, which are only up to a few metres thick, have unique chemical and physical properties and consist almost entirely of aluminium-bearing minerals that are plasticine-like in consistency and can be easily sampled with hand-held augers and push tubes (Figure 5). In addition, particle size distribution analysis demonstrates that virtually all the minerals are less than 16 microns and 60% to 80% occur at grain sizes of less than 5 microns (Figure 6). These unique characteristics have produced a near-perfect mineral deposit: a very high-value end product whose parent ore is: Very soft and shallow, allowing for extremely cheap free-digging with limited infrastructure requirements, no pre-stripping, no selective mining, a tiny environmental footprint, and limited rehabilitation requirements. Naturally fine-grained with no need for crushing and grinding, allowing for transport to an offsite processing facility that can be built on existing industrial sites (Figure 4). In essence, this is Direct Shipping Ore (DSO). Comprised of a few minerals that require only simple washing before acid leaching, thus allowing for low-cost straightforward metallurgical processing.

Coffee with Samso Episode 184 is with Julian Ford, CEO of Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL) updating us on Riversgold's exploration activities since the last conversation in March 2023. Jump straight to the interview In our previous conversation, we discussed Riversgold Limited as a lithium explorer that I found interesting. One of the reasons I liked them is because they were among the few companies actively engaged in genuine mineral exploration for lithium. It's important for people to understand that the recent discoveries in the lithium sector have largely come from reevaluating previous exploration efforts. Companies have revisited their drill cores and discovered that the historical drilling had indeed encountered pegmatites. Samso is not begrudging of the success of these companies, such as the Mount Holland Lithium project, which is now privately owned and operated by Covalent Lithium. Riversgold, on the other hand, continues its exploration activities in search of valuable lithium-bearing pegmatite. What I find interesting about Riversgold is their Northern Zone project. When I was researching this topic, I initially found their release titled Farm-in to Significant Porphyry Hosted Gold Project a bit confusing because the project had yielded promising results. The company is proceeding cautiously to ensure the reliability of these results, which I believe demonstrates prudent management. Julian, in particular, discusses the project and takes a measured view of its potential. What does Porphyry mean? Here is a description of what a porphyry deposit means from Earth Science Australia: The major products from porphyry copper deposits are copper and molybdenum or copper and gold. The term porphyry copper now includes engineering as well as geological considerations; It refers to large, relatively low grade, epigenetic, intrusion-related deposits that can be mined using mass mining techniques. Geologically, the deposits occur close to or in granitic intrusive rocks that are porphyritic in texture. There are usually several episodes of intrusive activity, so expect swarms of dykes and intrusive breccias. The country rocks can be any kind of rock, and often there are wide zones of closely fractured and altered rock surrounding the intrusions. As is described following, this country rock alteration is distinctive and changes as you approach mineralization. Where sulphide mineralization occurs, surface weathering often produces rusty-stained bleached zones from which the metals have been leached; if conditions are right, these may redeposit near the water table to form an enriched zone of secondary mineralization. What is the significance of a Porphyry deposit? Based on my experience, it is quite rare to find a fertile porphyry that contains only gold. Most porphyry deposits are typically associated with copper. However, Julian informs us that their system at the Northern Zone is devoid of any other metals and is solely a gold system. When we examine the historical drilling results, we can observe significant depth of mineralization, and the grades fall within the range of atypical mineralised porphyry gold system. Julian has mentioned that they are currently awaiting the results from their recent drilling program. These results will help confirm the assay content and determine if there is any false enrichment present (see below). Completion of Diamond Drilling of Northern Zone 26km ESE of Kalgoorlie It will be fascinating to see the assay numbers and gain a better understanding of the potential of this project. The core samples from the drilling program appear to be in excellent condition, which further adds to the anticipation of the assay results. Listen to Julian Ford here: Chapters: 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:03 Updates from Riversgold 02:57 The Gold Porphyry story 11:22 Metallurgical Cyanide Bottle Roll Test Results 13:37 How did the Northern Zone Project fly under the radar for so long? 19:34 Mt Weld Project 20:54 How should shareholders look at Riversgold? 23:04 Newsflow 23:50 Is the Porphyry story the main focus of Riversgold? 25:26 Why Riversgold? 26:03 Conclusion Samso's Conclusion The Riversgold story is an evolving narrative, and I appreciate the adventurous spirit of their projects. Julian impresses me as a composed and strategic individual who possesses a deep understanding of his work. When examining the Northern Zone project, the drilling results are remarkable and align with the expectations for a sizable deposit with low-grade bulk tonnage. According to the Visual Capitalist, porphyry deposits are very large, polymetallic systems that typically contain copper along with other important metals. Much of today’s mineral production depends on porphyries: 60% of copper, 95% of molybdenum, and 20% of gold comes from this deposit type. The Bingham Canyon Mine, located in Utah and owned by Rio Tinto and in production since 1906, annually produces approximately: 300,000 tons of copper 400,000 oz of gold 4,000,000 oz of silver 30,000,000 lbs of molybdenum The value of the resources extracted to date from the Bingham Canyon Mine is greater than the Comstock Lode, Klondike, and California gold rush mining regions combined. So as you can see above, the magnitude of finding a deposit of this nature in a Tier-1 jurisdiction like Western Australia is going to make Riversgold appreciate in market capitalisation.

Coffee with Samso Episode 185 is with Matt Szwedzicki, Managing Director of West Cobar Metals Limited (ASX: WC1) The REE story for West Cobar is taking shape, showing that the volume of resources does exist. The release recently has put that question at rest. A quadruple of the previous resource is plenty. Critically, the upgrade of the resource at the Newmont prospect from Inferred to Indicated is even more impressive. Matt Szwedzicki, in this episode of Coffee with Samso gives a great summary of where West Cobar is at with the Salazar Rare Earth project. The resources are up and the market will have no fears for the project not having enough tonnes (Figure 1). Interestingly, when asked about the availability of more tonnes, Matt responded with a clear and concise answer. There is an ample supply of tonnes, and the focus now is on demonstrating the economic value in terms of dollars and cents to the market. The market is well aware that there is no longer any doubt about the leachability of the Salazar resources. This was confirmed in the Rooster Talk 74, where Matt discussed the metallurgical results. You can find the links to that conversation below. West Cobar Metals Limited (ASX: WC1) - The Metallurgical Results West Cobar Metals Limited (ASX: WC1) - The Salazar Metallurgical Results. Full Episode. We discussed the recent news on Gallium and what it means for the company. The conversation continued onto the Nevada lithium project where the company was starting a drilling program. Samso's Conclusion The West Cobar journey is one of the most fascinating Rare Earth stories on the Samso platform. What sets them apart is their unique suite of potential by-products that others don't seem to have. Samso has seen several Rare Earth stories, and the Salazar deposit stands out with its HPA resource and Tier 1 REE resource (compared to Australia Clay deposits). Scandium was also mentioned in the Salazar deposit during the Coffee with Samso series. The inclusion of Gallium in the mix makes the idea of credits while mining rare earths appealing. However, it's important to note that not all mining scenarios are profitable to keep and process, even if there seems to be value in the metal. For example, Delta Lithium Limited (Red Dirt Metal Limited) has up to 300,000 ounces of gold, but it's not mentioned because the value in lithium outweighs the need to recover the gold. However, if we look at the potential scenario for West Cobar, the soft market pricing of REE makes the proposition of multi commodities to suppress mining costs could be its joker card. The little that makes a mining proposition for Salazar is going to be good for the hip pocket. Ultimately, time will reveal the ultimate solution, but investors should remember that mining projects span multiple years to decades. While the Salazar deposit shows promise, the longevity of a company to pursue the project is not solely determined by the project's quality.

Matt co-founded and is the Managing Director of Spark New Energies, an energy company with its main assets in the UK. Prior to that Matt held various executive corporate and commercial roles in the energy and resources industries. 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. 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).​ 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.

Coffee with Samso Episode 173 is all about Boron as Tin-Boron Rich Zones are identified at Mount Lindsay. The recent release by Venture Minerals Limited (ASX:VMS) is adding more confidence to the Mount Lindsay project. Knowing that more tin could be realised via the association of Boron now makes Mount Lindsay a solid project. Who is Venture Minerals Limited (ASX: VMS)? In my very first Coffee with Samso with Andrew Radonjic, way back in October 2020, I had coined the company a Targeted Diversified Mineral Explorer. The basis of that title was because they have very promising targets. I know many people will say that is a long bow to draw but from an exploration point of view, I stand firm on my observation. Chapters: 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:20 About Venture Minerals and Boron 04:14 Tin-rich borates in Mount Lindsay 12:02 Any potential metallurgical issues? 14:57 How much can be recovered from the cassiterite? 19:56 Uses of boron 23:18 Market shifts? 28:57 News flow 30:22 Why VMS? 31:56 Conclusion Market Status Currently, like many of the market participants, the share price has taken a battering. The journey has been one where at its peak of about AUD$0.16 in mid 2021, is now pretty much at its low (see Figure 1). The share price has moved since the latest release which appears to be giving the market some joy. Figure 1: The share price chart for Venture Minerals Limited (ASX: VMS) over the last 3 years. (Source: Commsec) What I feel is that the market is generally not a direct reflection on the perceived valuation of the company. In the exploration sector, this is more relevant as the potentials are never calculatable. The current market capitalisation is around AUD33M. Some pundits may say that this is high for an explorer, but one have to understand that Venture has a iron ore resource that is at mining stage and a Tin an Tungsten resource that is at Feasibility Study stage. Why does Samso like Venture Minerals Limited, in particular, the Mount Lindsay Mineral Province? There are many companies that are currently in the market, but not all of them is reflecting my enthusiasm. As I have said many times, as an exploration geologist, I am always looking at the potential and with over 30 years of geology experience, working and learning about the industry, I have seen and heard many stories. Over the years, I have learnt to identify projects that could have the best possible potential to bear fruits. What I see in Venture are projects that have those potentials. Look at the Thor project. I like the concept and the potential from the first Coffee with Samso. The latest on Thor project is that the Joint Venture partner has now targeted two new priority targets. The Mount Lindsay project is one that needs no introduction. Venture is currently working on a Feasibility study for Mount Lindsay. This will take time and as they develop new concepts. What is being showcased is the potential endowment of the Province. When you look at the latest summarised geological plan (Figure 2), you will see why I call this the Mount Lindsay Mineral Province. Figure 2: Mount Lindsay Project: Geology Map showing High Grade Tin-Tungsten Targets and Tin-Boron Skarns For those readers that are not well versed with geology, what I want to represent with Figure 2 is that the area/province that I am referring to is well mineralised. There is a suite of metals that are being found. For this to happen, you need a mineral system that is sufficiently powerful and endowed to be present. In my time showcasing Venture Minerals, I dont think that has been a focus for the company. I will not be surprised when that is a topic of conversation. The Boron Story - Samso is Excited. The Boron story is going to be a big asset for Venture. For those that are new to the Boron game, you will quickly find that Venture is in the big leagues. Granted that there is still a lot of questions, - is there an economic volume, is there an economic recoverable process...etc. For Samso, the input credit and the potential ability to recover more tin in the process is the game changer. When you look at the major mining projects, it is very often the input credits of other products in the mine that makes the profitability of the mine. If you look at Olympic Dam, by far the biggest single mine in the world, it is the myriad of other metals that have extended the life of the mine. Samso's Conclusion Venture Minerals have been through a wild ride over the two years. There is no denying that there are shareholders who are disappointed with the journey lately but there are also shareholders that have bought at the lows and exited with a handsome loot. The introduction of the Boron story is exciting. This could be the game changer for Venture. This will create a new dimension for the company as when you look at the market for Boron, it will be an eye opener. If the oncoming data about what Venture have in terms of the Boron is positive, we will be in for another ride. Whichever shareholder you are, there is also some realities that make VMS a well balanced investment. When you look at the portfolio of projects, they are placed in every stage of the exploration game. You have early stage greenfield exploration such as Kulin and Golden Grove North. Thor which is in a joint venture with Chalice Mining is being explored but is free carried as Chalice is earning into the project. Mt Lindsay and the Riley iron ore project is the next step up. Mount Lindsay has greenfield to "development". Riley is at mining stage. Riley is waiting for the right market timing and can be turned on when the time arrives. So my thoughts on a company like this is, "its hedged at all ends". There are not too many companies in the sector with this kind of portfolio. I have spoken to many and I will be surprised that there is more than a handful with the well spread of projects like Venture Minerals. When you have been in the sector for a long time, you appreciate these kind of odds. For this reason, I think that at market cap of 40M, Venture is definitely worth doing some lengthy research. Andrew Radonjic has been in this game for a long time and when you look at the price chart in Figure 1, the risk of investing in the company is not ambiguous. One may say you can go to the casino and have the same odds, but as all investors in this sector, we beg to differ. Research and understanding your risk management is the key. Understand the geology, understand the upside and downside and understand your own risk capability. For these reasons, I strongly recommend reaching out to Andrew and getting him to give you the low down on the company. 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. 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, downhole EM has delineated a large conductor under High Grade Zinc-Copper-Gold drill intersections within the 5km long Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide Target Zone, along strike to the world class Golden Grove Zinc-Copper-Gold Mine. 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.

Coffee with Samso Episode 127 Venture Minerals Limited (ASX:VMS) is a company with an identity crisis. It has a portfolio of highly prospective exploration projects as well as a world class tin mining project. In fact, the title above should be more accurately renamed as An Undervalued Tin Producer. Remember this #GreenTin Song: The Green metal and No Emission movement has made the plight of the Tin Story important for Investors. Venture Minerals may be an accidental recipient of the Green Metal movement. This episode of Coffee with Samso Episode 127 with Andrew Radonjic, the Managing Director, is the setting for the year 2022. In my opinion, after a fresh rising late last year, which is showing the market the confidence from the shareholders, there are many positives to come in the following months. Andrew and I discuss what has been happening and look back on why these projects are prospective. We also talk about Mount Lindsay, Thor (Julimar look-alike), Kulin, Golden Grove North and Riley. These conversations remind shareholders and investors in the ASX why Venture Minerals should be on their watch screens and on their list of companies to do some solid DYOR. Let's listen to these chapters: 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 08:35 The reason we cannot go past the Tin Prize at Mount Lindsay. 15:03 Mount Lindsay has more than Tin and Tungsten. 16:53 The update on Thor. 20:36 Kulin 26:12 Golden Grove North 30:08 Riley 35:55 Reason why the game in town is Mount Lindsay. 39:12 Conclusion PODCAST About Andrew Radonjic Qualifications: BAppSc (Mining Geology), MSc (Mineral Economics), MAus/MM Mr. Radonjic is a geologist and mineral economist with over 30 years of experience in mining and exploration, with an initial focus on gold and nickel in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

Coffee with Samso Episode 148: Let's talk Tin Venture Minerals Limited (ASX:VMS) is currently undergoing a phase of preparing a Feasibility Study and it's time to talk Tin. Remember this #GreenTin Song: The Green metal and No Emission movement have made the plight of the Tin Story important for Investors. Venture Minerals may be an accidental recipient of the Green Metal movement. This episode of Coffee with Samso Episode 148 with Andrew Radonjic, the Managing Director, is all about Tin. This is an episode which focuses on why Tin is a significant commodity. Andrew has just come back from his travels where he attended a Tin conference. We help dissect his learnings from the conference and bring out what he had learned and share it with the Samso audience. Tin is an underrated metal, it's like the unloved element of technology. It's not given the credit that it deserves. As we have described in the conversation, it's the glue of technology. Every part of the new world of No Emission and the electrification of progress needs tin. If you take the supply issue of non ESG compliant sources, there will be a big issue for tin users. For those people who see this need for realisable ESG compliant source of tin, this is a great time to look at companies like Venture Minerals. What audiences need to ignore is the other so called sources of tin who claim that they are production ready. If that is the case, why are they not producing already? I strongly encourage potential investors to reach out to Andrew to ask him what the difference is between what can happen and what will never happen. I made this video to give an insight to what could be a real game changer in terms of the need for tin. The uses of tin are increasing and there is now talk of tin being a vital component of lithium battery anodes. Some people may call this a pipe dream but so was the vanadium battery. If the so called Lithium-Tin solid battery anodes comes to fruition in the coming years, this will completely change the tin market. The same factors that are driving the High Purity Alumina industry that is driven by Kaolinite-Halloysite is also being seen with the tin sector. There are now some serious conversations on how tin will play in carbon capture, water treatment and heat harvesting. As we all agree, the need for these conversations to turn into reality will be high on the agenda but reality may be a distance away. The important part is that it is happening now. I hope this episode of Coffee with Samso will give audiences some concept of the tin market and its uses which will make tin a major player of the new No Emission electrification of energy world. Chapters: 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:25 Andrew updates. 09:56 The Indonesian Tin Story. 15:37 Market discussion from the Tin conference. 20:01 Tin moving into the "high tech" uses sector. 24:24 Tin moving into the battery sector. 30:14 The introduction of a tin related battery. 31:28 The hurdle of finding new tin deposits and a tin producing mine. 32:26 Project updates. 38:53 The summary of tin. 39:43 Andrew closing summary. 41:06 Conclusion PODCAST About Andrew Radonjic Qualifications: BAppSc (Mining Geology), MSc (Mineral Economics), MAus/MM Mr. Radonjic is a geologist and mineral economist with over 30 years of experience in mining and exploration, with an initial focus on gold and nickel in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.
