Coffee with Samso Episode 92 with Jay Upton, Managing Director of Sprintex Limited (ASX: SIX) on renewable and clean energy technologies This episode of Coffee with Samso is one that comes from a very different angle. Sprintex is associated with the most energy consuming and one of the least carbon saving industry. Most readers would agree that motor racing and the need to create speed in vehicles is one such industry. Sprintex as a Green Engineering company designs and manufactures clean air compressors, is moving towards newer renewable and clean energy technologies for automotive and other industries. And this is exactly what makes this story so fascinating - the engineering is actually very green. The application can be easily pivoted into the green space. Hydrogen vehicles (which I am very interested to learn more about) is the space that will benefit substantially as the Sprintex product will give it the added boost in power without creating more carbon. Jay Upton, the Managing Director of Sprintex Limited (ASX: SIX) shares with us the company's history and its unique position in the EV Revolution that awaits investors of the company. Jay also talks about the other industries that will take advantage of the technology and the size of markets that awaits them as the world moves towards low carbon emitting businesses. Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 00:52 - Jay Upton discusses the Sprintex product. 02:17 - The Clean Air Compressor Story 07:15 - The Story of Sprintex 09:51 - How does the Sprintex product work? 15:27 - Is Sprintex also in Waste Water Management? 22:32 - How does Sprintex keep the edge? 28:50 - Where are the opportunities for Sprintex? 30:37 - The beginnings of the Sprintex Industry 35:36 - Conclusion PODCAST About Jay Upton Managing Director Jay (Jude) Upton has a broad range of business managerial and technical engineering experience gained over a 20-year period working in the international automotive industry where he has amassed a network of international industry contacts.

Coffee with Samso Episode 91 is with Kado Muir, Ngalia Cultural leader and Chairman of the National Native Title Council. In mining, there is now a permanent requirement to be responsible in company actions i.e. to be responsible environmentally and socially. Historically, mining projects have always made the effort to be environmentally friendly or at least to minimise their impact on the ground, water and air. Now, the movement is to incorporate the Social and Governance aspects. Governance has always been left in the background and many projects have turned a blind eye to governance issues in the name of business. Now with the emergence of ESG, all these issues are now required to be addressed. I have been wanting to speak to Kado to get his perspective on current issues such as Juukan. I wanted to understand its significance and how Standard Operating Procedures can get it so wrong in a system as robust as Rio Tinto's strict rules. For me, Kado is one of the new generation of elders in the Australian First Nation community who are carrying on the tradition of the people. When I spoke to Kado, I felt that he is trying to bridge the divide that has been lingering for decades. The establishment of Mabo was a step forward and I feel that it is only one step of many that is required. This is the second time Kado and I have had a Coffee With Samso. The first was Sustainable Harvesting of Sandalwood Trees: Marnta Sandalwood - but I think we never did the main issues real justice in terms of engaging more deeply in them. What we did was to bring out the history and passion of Kado's thoughts and aspiration. The development of the Sandalwood business with the idea of making it sustainable socially and environmentally complements this current episode. Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 20:27 - The ESG Issue 30:00 - The Social Issue in ESG 33:03 - Commercial Needs vs. Social Compliance 40:03 - Why ESG is good for the Mineral Industry 42:28 - Discussion is Good 43:35 - Misunderstanding of First Nation Compliance 45:48 - Conclusion PODCAST About Kado Muir Ngalia Cultural leader and Chairman of the National Native Title Council Mr Kado Muir is a Wati, a Goldfields Aboriginal cultural and community leader and an anthropologist/archaeologist with many years’ experience working in Aboriginal heritage, language preservation and maintenance, traditional ecological/education and native title research. From an early age, Kado grew up living in the bush and his passion is to “look after country, community and culture". Kado is a community based cultural heritage and environmental activist. He has led campaigns against uranium mining in Western Australia and is part of that national network. He has been pushing for the mining industry to adopt responsible practices in Aboriginal heritage and to stop destroying Aboriginal sites and sacred places. Kado is a cultural leader who has preserved his Ngalia language and helped develop Australian curriculum content incorporating Aboriginal knowledge into education curriculum. Kado operates a number of businesses including an Aboriginal art business, a sandalwood company, a culture-focussed podcast and an Aboriginal heritage consultancy business. He is an advocate promoting alternative community-based enterprises.

Coffee with Samso Episode 93 is with David Frances, Managing Director of Province Resources Limited (ASX: PRL) Have you come across a project that is totally de-risked? This episode of Coffee with Samso is about two things, Green Hydrogen and a De-risked ESG Business. The figure below lays out why I think this is one of the most Compelling ASX Stories that has graced Coffee With Samso. If there was a second chance to ride an energy wave, Province Resources Limited (ASX:PRL) gives me the fuzzy feeling that this could be the horse to ride. If you look at the chart, you do get the feeling that the horses have bolted. In these situations, I remind myself of my first IPO. I bought into Woolworths and it opened around AU$2.50 mark. I thought that was great but I distinctly remembered that I had no idea of where this price could go. Today, we see Woolworths around AUD$40 per share, with a market capitalisation of AU$50B. The moral of the story is that one has to understand where the value will come and as a novice in shares at that time, I had not idea of whether to sell Woolworths or wait for a greater value. Another example is Woodside which is now worth AU$21.23B. It can be argued that they are in the sunset mode but I remember when they listed, I did not know the concept of value adding or value creation. The business of Green Hydrogen has just started and a company like Province Resources with a market capitalisation of approximately AU$150M is cheap considering that the idea of value in this sector is in its infancy. If this is a sector for the future, the value creation part of the business has not even begun. David Frances shares with us on this Coffee With Samso the unique entity that is taking on the Green Hydrogen story. We learn about a myriad of Hydrogen types. Hydrogen is Not Hydrogen. The only thing that will kill this industry will be Government. ESG is here to stay. - David Frances I have to say that this is one of the most compelling ASX stories I have come across. The research that I looked at prior to my first meeting with David was nothing compared to understanding the whole story. Province Resources Limited is about a totally de-risked business which is just waiting for some government directions. Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 54:20 - Who Is David Frances? 01:28 - Why have we not heard of the Hydrogen business ? 02:17 - Hydrogen 101 03:59 - Is Hydrogen Hydrogen? 05:59 - How is the journey for the Efficiency of Hydrogen? 07:56 - What will Province produce? 08:49 - Are you specific to a type of Hydrogen? 10:13 - What is the business for Province and how does it work? 11:43 - The Hydrogen Royalty debate 13:23 - Green Tariff will drive the Green Hydrogen business 14:54 - The ESG is pushing this sector. 15:28 - What is the money people are saying about this Green Hydrogen business? 17:17 - The Importance of ESG parameters. 18:21 - The business plan for Province Resources Limited. 19:38 - Why Carnarvon? 20:55 The Total Eren Factor 22:21 Total De-risking 23:59 - Be careful of the use of the word Hydrogen.... 24:36 - How Green Hydrogen fairs with Cost vs. Scale of business. 26:18 - Making the entire supply chain Green. 27:56 - The path that needs to be taken. 28:24 - Is the value of the shares over? 28:54 - The reasons why investing in Province is still in the early stage. 29:35 - When should investors come in? More reasons for investing in Province. 30:15 - What can break this business? 31:07 - Conclusion PODCAST About David Frances Managing Director and CEO Mr Frances is an international executive of nearly 30 years with a track record of transacting, discovering, funding, developing and operating assets in Australia and Africa. Mr Frances has been involved in the transformation of several companies including Mawson West (TSX:MWE) which he led from a micro-cap Western Australian based ASX Company which involved delisting the Company and then relisting on the Toronto Stock Exchange after completing the world’s largest base metals capital raise and IPO for 2010. Mr Frances has served as Chairman – both executive and Non-Executive, Managing Director, and Non-Executive Director of a number of ASX and TSX listed and private Companies across a diverse range of business.

About Blackstone Minerals Limited Blackstone Minerals Limited (ASX: BSX) is developing the district-scale Ta Khoa Project in Northern Vietnam where the company is drilling out the large-scale Ban Phuc Nickel-PGE deposit. The Ta Khoa Nickel-PGE Project has existing modern mine infrastructures built to International Standards including a 450ktpa processing plant and permitted mine facilities. Blackstone Minerals also owns a large landholding at the Gold Bridge project within the BC porphyry belt in British Columbia, Canada with large scale drill targets prospective for high-grade gold-cobalt-copper mineralisation. In Australia, Blackstone Minerals is exploring for nickel and gold in the Eastern Goldfields and gold in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Blackstone Minerals has a board and management team with a proven track record of mineral discovery and corporate success. The Ta Khoa Nickel-Copper-PGE Project The Ta Khoa Nickel-Copper-PGE Project is located 160 km west of Hanoi in the Son La Province of Vietnam and includes an existing modern nickel mine built to Australian standards, which is currently under care and maintenance. The Ban Phuc nickel mine successfully operated as a mechanised underground nickel mine from 2013 to 2016. In the Ta Khoa Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, previous project owners invested more than US$136m in capital and generated US$213m in revenue during a 3.5-year period of falling nickel prices. The project was placed into care and maintenance in mid-2016 during some of the lowest nickel prices in the past 10 years. Existing infrastructure associated with the project includes an internationally-designed 450 ktpa processing plant connected to local hydro grid power with a fully-permitted tailings facility and a modern 250-person camp. Since commencing maiden drilling in August 2019, Blackstone Minerals has made significant progress at Ta Khoa, drilling over 9,000 m of diamond core in more than 47 holes into the Ban Phuc DSS deposit and the highly prospective King Cobra discovery zone. An initial scoping study evaluating mining and processing options is well advanced, including potential in-country downstream processing to deliver high-value nickel sulfate into Asia’s rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) industry. The recently announced MOU with Asia’s largest and the world’s second-largest EV battery cathode manufacturer, Ecopro BM Co Limited represents a significant step towards making this a reality.

Let's uncover Gawler Craton during Coffee with Samso Episode 97 with Bronwyn Barnes, Executive Chair of Indiana Resources Limited (ASX: IDA) Bronwyn is back to share with us the happenings of the Gawler Craton and the Tanzanian litigation. The Indiana story is intriguing for me as this is one of several companies in the area that is exploring a severely under-explored region of Australia. Watch the interview The Gawler Craton is no stranger to producing giant deposits. In fact, it is host to the biggest uranium and copper mine. The Olympic Dam story itself is well talked about. However, no matter how significant the discovery of the Challenger Gold mine is to mature mineral exploration punters, it is a total non event for current investors in the sector. Mineral exploration in the "Shear-hosted" world of the Gawler Craton is relatively unknown to the general public. I have done two Samso insights on this topic to highlight why investors should look at this area of Australia as the next Commodity Rush. You can see the two Samso Insights by clicking the links below: Challenger Gold Mine - Calcrete Anomaly Exploration Success The Gawler Craton - The Next Commodity Rush ... Again. Bronwyn shares with us on the following: What has happened since the first Coffee with Samso in May 2001- (Indiana Resources Limited (ASX:IDA) is all about the Gawler Craton. The results of the latest exploration drilling at Minos and why this is slowly showing the start of an exciting region for discovery. How the Tanzanian litigation is progressing. Why Bronwyn feels that the Gawler project is the focus for the company. The upcoming resource statement from further drilling. Indiana Resources is one of the fortunate companies that has a great project and is literally filling in their own blank canvas. Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:52 Bronwyn updates on Indiana Resources. 05:52 The Feeling of Working in an Under-Explored Mineralised Province. 08:09 Bronwyn´s thoughts on land access and how easy it is to work in the Gawler Craton. 10:28 The Tanzania Project. 14:41 What happens if Tanzania does not respond? 16:53 Why Tanzania has teeth and is not a talking feast. 19:01 What the market is saying about the Tanzania Claim. 21:54 Tanzania is a Free Option for Free Capital. 24:22 Indiana is at Cheap Entry Time. 26:37 The process forward for Indiana in The Gawler Craton. 27:55 Conclusion PODCAST About Bronwyn Barnes Executive Chairman Bronwyn has had an extensive career in the resources sector, having worked with companies ranging from Western Mining Corporation and BHP to emerging juniors in directorship, executive leadership, and operational roles in Australia and internationally. Bronwyn’s current ASX directorships include Executive Chairman of Indiana Resources Ltd, Non-Executive Chairman of Aerison Group Limited, and a Non-Executive Director of Scorpion Minerals Ltd. Reflecting her continuing interest in sectors outside mining Bronwyn is a Non-Executive Director of Synergy and The WA Turf Club. Bronwyn is also a Member of the South Australian Government’s Minerals and Advisory Council. About Indiana Resources Limited Indiana Resources Limited (ASX:IDA) is an Australian-based gold exploration company focused on advancing its portfolio of exploration tenements in the highly prospective Central Gawler Craton Gold Province in South Australia. Indiana’s ground position in the Gawler Craton covers 5,090 km² – with the Company’s tenements strategically located between the historic gold mining centres of Tunkillia and Tarcoola. The Central Gawler Craton has outstanding potential for the discovery of significant gold deposits, as indicated by the Tunkillia deposit (588,000 ounce gold resource), which adjoins the southern edge of Indiana’s portfolio and the historical mining centre of Tarcoola, which adjoins the northern edge of Indiana’s portfolio, where historic production and current resource total approximately 190,000 ounces. Indiana is also the major shareholder of Ntaka Nickel Holdings Ltd and Nachingwea UK Ltd (both incorporated in the United Kingdom) which historically held the licences for the Ntaka Hill Nickel Project through its 100% owned subsidiary Nachingwea Nickel Ltd. The Ntaka Hill Nickel Project is an advanced nickel sulphide project that is development ready. In early 2020, the Companies advised the Tanzanian Government that a dispute had arisen in relation to the cancellation of the Retention Licence for Ntaka Hill. Indiana is the manager of the Joint Venture for the Project and is leading activities to progress a Claim to Arbitration against the Government of Tanzania for the illegal expropriation and loss of the Ntaka Hill Nickel Project.

Coffee with Samso Episode 99 with Thomas Line, Chief Executive Officer of Taruga Minerals Limited (ASX: TAR) Taruga Minerals has one of the most fascinating projects that I have come across in a while. It is an IOCG (Iron oxide copper gold ore deposits) project that seems to be perfect for a small mineral explorer. Whenever I see a company that talks about IOCG, I normally take a step back because in most cases, small mineral explorers just do not have the funding capacity to pull things off. However, after talking to Taruga Minerals on today's latest Coffee with Samso, I see something quite different, and worth a closer look. Thomas Line, the CEO of Taruga Minerals Limited (ASX: TAR) talks about his projects which are showing a lot of smoke that is normally reserved for bigger companies. Initial exploration work appears to be consistent with the prospectivity of the projects. Watch the interview: Coffee with Samso Episode 99 Thomas shares with us the following aspects of the company: The passion and the reason why Thomas Line is doing this. Why South Australia and why these projects? The potential of the geology of the Gawler Craton and how it has secrets that have not been discovered because it has been greatly misunderstood. What are the components of the projects that Investors should take note? What I find promising about Thomas is his understanding of ESG (Environment, Social, Governance). Not only does he realise that ESG is important, he is also one to walk the talk. What Thomas says below says it all: Native Title is a boundary that was put in place. It was not a boundary pre-colonisation. Native Title land is not the only land that is important to the Aboriginal people. All land is important to the Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people need to be engaged to talk about both Non-Native and Native Title land. I cannot emphasise enough how delighted I am every time I learn something from doing Coffee with Samso. What many of us do not realise is that there are many things that a good discussion can bring out. Investors should learn to understand as much as possible from the company. It is beneficial for investors to be aware that they don't know everything, and by listening, they will gain even more insights that can help them make better informed decisions. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:52 Thomas Line introduces himself and Taruga Minerals Limited. 02:32 Why choose South Australia and the Projects in Taruga? 08:58 Is the perception that Gawler Craton is misunderstood and underexplored valid? 11:07 What do the recent results in Mt Craig mean? 16:47 How does Taruga focus on all the Prospects? 20:41 Are your projects easy to access? 22:26 Why are your IOCG projects different? 24:20 What issues do you have in your projects? 27:15 ESG has been part of the equation - is it true? 30:45 What is the business of Taruga Minerals ? 35:06 Conclusion PODCAST About Taruga Minerals Limited (ASX:TAR) Taruga Minerals Limited (Taruga or the Company) is a mineral exploration company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:TAR) with a focus on acquiring and developing highly prospective Gold, Copper and precious metals exploration projects in Australia. CEO Thomas Line is supported by a highly credentialed Board, and has provided the Company with exposure to the exciting, under explored, High-Grade Flinders, Torrens and Mt Craig Copper-Gold-Silver Projects on the margin of the Gawler Craton, South Australia. FLINDERS PROJECT Regional Setting The Flinders Project (Flinders) covers 647km2 along the eastern limit of the Gawler Craton in a similar structural setting as the nearby Olympic Dam and Carrapateena deposits. Flinders is unique in that IOCG-style mineralisation has been mapped and sampled at surface and not under several hundred metres of sedimentary cover, as is often the case within the highly prospective G2 structural Corridor. Mineralisation usually occurs in intrusive breccias hosted within structures that crosscut the dominant marine metasediments within the prospect area. The breccia often contains clasts of altered mafic volcanics that can be mapped for over 15km along the dominant Mt Stephen Thrust (MST) and at Jenkins North. Sub-structures and fault splays which branch out from the MST have been proven to contain high-grade copper mineralisation, indicating the potential for a larger “fluid system” or mineralised network beneath the surface. Recent petrology and sampling have revealed diverse mineralisation comprised of high-grade copper, gold, hematite, cobalt, silver, and vanadium, along with anomalous platinum-group elements, light and heavy rare earth elements (LREE and HREE). While all global IOCG’s are unique, the geochemical and petrological signatures confirm IOCG-style mineralisation at Flinders with similarities to Dahongshan and Lala IOCG’s (China), Rocklands IOCG (Cloncurry, Australia) and the nearby ~1590Ma Carrapateena and Olympic Dam IOCG deposits (Gawler Craton). Historic Mining and Exploration A range of copper and iron occurrences have been identified within and adjacent to the Flinders Project area historically. Mining in the licence area started in 1863 and focussed on artisanal mining of the high-grade copper mineralisation occurring in mineralised breccias at the Warrakimbo Main Lode (WML) which received limited development over the next 50 years due to low copper prices, with almost no modern exploration. Later operations focussed on developing the rare industrial-grade micaceous iron oxide present within the breccia at WML. Evidence of historic artisanal copper mining has also been identified at Woolshed, Rambla and Rainy Day Prospects. About Thomas Line Chief Executive Officer Thomas is the project-generator and vendor of Strikeline Resources and its three highly-prospective South Australian projects and has been responsible for their development to date. Thomas is an experienced geologist and project manager with 10 years’ experience in mining, exploration and resource development. Thomas holds an honours degree in geology, is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) and is committed to the successful future development of the Flinders, Torrens and Mt Craig copper projects.

A milestone to celebrate: Coffee with Samso reaches our 100th episode today with Mark Strizek, Executive Director of Tietto Minerals Limited (ASX:TIE) YES! We've done 100 episodes of Coffee With Samso! Every single cup of coffee has led to deeper and more insightful conversations with thought leaders across companies, providing investors with comprehensive knowledge and shared experience so they can make their best, well-informed decisions. Our 100th episode warrants a toast (and we have our coffee ready brewing on the pot). So we decided to celebrate by inviting back Mark Strizek, who was our inaugural guest of Coffee with Samso, to share with us his company's journey here on Coffee with Samso Episode 100. I've been chasing this story since 2018 as I believed in Tietto's journey. Now in 2021, it is great to see the results bearing fruit for its shareholders. The message is simple in today's story. Drilling is important. If you do not drill you cannot grow. And I believe this is one of the easiest gold mining stories that I have ever come across. A Simple Gold Mining Story The Abujar Gold Project may be in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa but don't let the geographical distance scare you off. Let us tell you why it is a simple mining story. Tietto Minerals (TIE) saved over USD60M by having their own drill rigs. This is money Tietto's shareholders have saved since 2018. - Mark Strizek Mark Strizek tells us about how the founder of Tietto, Caigen Wang went about finding and now developing the Abujar Gold Project. One of Mark's stories was that Caigen saw the number of people working in the mine and immediately realised that this is a mine waiting to be developed. Cote d'Ivoire is a place that is rich in minerals and is blessed with greenstones (See Figure below under Abujar Project) It is not that much different to those we see in the Kalgoorlie Goldfields. There have been numerous multi million ounces of gold discovered in the country and the pro-economic government is a bonus. ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) is something that is at the forefront of Tietto's challenges to make the mine a reality. Mark shares with us what has been happening and why they are making this a no-event. There appears to be no deal breaking events in front of the company as they progress aggressively to get the first gold bar poured for shareholders. Tietto is taking ESG seriously and the company has even contracted RPMGlobal to provide specialist ESG advice for their Abujar project. An Ivoirian company, Envitech, has been engaged to conduct the baseline fieldwork to compile an environmental and social impact assessment.

Anna has recently joined the Blackstone Minerals team to continue to develop their ‘green nickel’ strategy and embed ESG across the business, with a particular focus on their Ta-Khoa project in Northern Vietnam. About Blackstone Minerals Limited Blackstone Minerals Limited (ASX: BSX) is developing the district-scale Ta Khoa Project in Northern Vietnam where the company is drilling out the large-scale Ban Phuc Nickel-PGE deposit. The Ta Khoa Nickel-PGE Project has existing modern mine infrastructures built to International Standards including a 450ktpa processing plant and permitted mine facilities. Blackstone Minerals also owns a large landholding at the Gold Bridge project within the BC porphyry belt in British Columbia, Canada with large scale drill targets prospective for high-grade gold-cobalt-copper mineralisation. In Australia, Blackstone Minerals is exploring for nickel and gold in the Eastern Goldfields and gold in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Blackstone Minerals has a board and management team with a proven track record of mineral discovery and corporate success. The Ta Khoa Nickel-Copper-PGE Project The Ta Khoa Nickel-Copper-PGE Project is located 160 km west of Hanoi in the Son La Province of Vietnam and includes an existing modern nickel mine built to Australian standards, which is currently under care and maintenance. The Ban Phuc nickel mine successfully operated as a mechanised underground nickel mine from 2013 to 2016. In the Ta Khoa Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, previous project owners invested more than US$136m in capital and generated US$213m in revenue during a 3.5-year period of falling nickel prices. The project was placed into care and maintenance in mid-2016 during some of the lowest nickel prices in the past 10 years. Existing infrastructure associated with the project includes an internationally-designed 450 ktpa processing plant connected to local hydro grid power with a fully-permitted tailings facility and a modern 250-person camp. Since commencing maiden drilling in August 2019, Blackstone Minerals has made significant progress at Ta Khoa, drilling over 9,000 m of diamond core in more than 47 holes into the Ban Phuc DSS deposit and the highly prospective King Cobra discovery zone. An initial scoping study evaluating mining and processing options is well advanced, including potential in-country downstream processing to deliver high-value nickel sulfate into Asia’s rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) industry.

Coffee with Samso Episode 106 with Ed Turner, CEO of Kingwest Resources Ltd (ASX: KWR) Kingwest has made a gold discovery in a project that has been in plain sight for all to see for decades. The geology may have been there for millions of years, but explorers have only gone up and down that area for decades. Mineral exploration is one of those business activities where patience is the biggest asset to have, along with an eager investment partner. Over the years, many have coined the phrase, Cash Is King. The mineral exploration industry has lived and died on the fortunes of investors since the first geological expedition set out many moons ago. Lady Luck is the next obvious attribute that all explorers require and in the case of Kingwest Resources, it seems that they have their ducks all lined up in a row for them. When you look at what I have called the Discovery Line, the fact that all but 2 of the drillholes intercepted mineralisation of some sort is incredible. As an exploration geologist, I will attest that this phenomenon is not common. We tend to see more negative results than positive ones, especially at the beginning of the program. There is a lot of work yet to come and potentially lots of disappointments, but from an investor's point of view, I do feel that this is going to end well.

Technical strengths include exploration, underground mining, resource estimation, feasibility studies and development level work. Ed was previously engaged as the CEO and General Manager of Exploration of Geology for Galena Mining Limited where he delineated the high-grade Abra lead-silver deposit that is shaping up to be a highly profitable mine development. About Kingwest Resources Limited (ASX: KWR) Kingwest Resources Limited (“Kingwest”) is a mining and exploration company focused primarily on gold exploration in the Eastern Gold Fields Region of Western Australia. It will aggressively explore for and extract gold in a mix of advanced, intermediate, and greenfield projects within this highly prospective district. The Menzies Gold Project - MGP With a new team on board and new projects, Kingwest is redirecting its focus on developing the highly prospective Menzies Gold Project. The Menzies Gold Project contains some of the highest-grade historic production in the Eastern Goldfields with the five underground mines producing between 16g/t and 32g/t Au over their respective life of mine for a total of 650,000 oz @ 22.5g/t. The last underground mining ceased in 1943 and there has been limited drilling beneath the historic workings since then. Open Pit mining during the 1990s before the collapse of the gold price in 1999 also produced 145,000 oz at a high-grade average of 2.6g/t Au. A relatively shallow resource comprising 2.42Mt at 2.2g/t Au for 171,300 oz (using 1g/t cut off) has been estimated in recent years. However, the best future economic potential is in targeting the high-grade mineralisation that remains open at depth beneath every deposit.
