What a way to celebrate this occasion. The latest results from Venture Minerals are showing clear signs that the current drilling program is on track to identify the next Golden Grove- styled VMS deposit. The first time I looked at Venture Minerals, I was immediately drawn upon the Golden Grove North deposit.

Coffee with Samso Episode 52 with Rob Longley, Managing Director of Ardiden Limited (ASX: ADV) Hollywood Results Canadian Geology and Giant Mines are synonymous when you talk mining in the North American Mining Industry. Having a large exploration package within the Land of the Giants is what I called stacking your bets. When I first came across Ardiden Limited (ASX: ADV), I was immediately drawn to the large land holding at Pickle Lake. A small cap exploration company on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) with a land package over 800 square kilometres in an area of known mineralisation and working mines is not something ordinary. I do not know of one place that is easy to work in, so granting that this is not the easiest of places to work in and taking into consideration all the "other issues", Rob Longley and his team are taking the best approach in the search for the "holy grail" and that is to systematically work through the information and not rush into chasing "Hollywood Results". In this episode of Coffee with Samso, Rob Longley shares with us the significance of the geology, the potential of the land package and how the company slowly works through the numerous targets that have already presented themselves. About Rob Longley Rob Longley is a Geologist with extensive experience in global resources across gold, nickel, cobalt, lithium and iron ore sectors. Rob was Managing Director of Helios Gold Limited and prior to that was General Manager Geology for Sundance Resources in Africa from 2007 to 2015. Rob has an impressive track record of successfully managing and executing exploration programs in difficult and remote locations while delivering progressive results with Mineral Resources that bring shareholder value, underpinning the developments of mineral projects. Rob is well-respected in the industry for his professional integrity, his resource growth achievements and commercial leadership. PODCAST About Ardiden Limited Ardiden Limited (ASX: ADV) is an ASX-listed exploration company focused on building compelling gold resources at its 100%-owned Pickle Lake Gold Project in one of Canada’s most prolific gold mining districts in Northwest Ontario, Canada. The project consists of over 664km2 of highly prospective landholding across three Deposits, Kasagiminnis (Kas), Dorothy and Dobie Gold Deposit. Ardiden has a maiden Inferred 110,000oz high-grade gold resource (790,000t @ 4.3g/t Au) at the Kasagiminnis Gold Deposit and in May 2020 defined an exploration target of 500,000oz to 1.2Moz @ 3.9 – 6.6g/t Au. The Deposit represents only a small section (600m) of a continuous 120km strike length at the flagship Pickle Lake Gold Project. During 2020, Ardiden aims to build on this Resource at Kasagiminnis with definition drilling as well as applying modern exploration technique to unlock value at its highly prospective numerous prospects, identified in June 2020 through interpretation of various geological and geophysical data sets. Initial exploration of these targets has been very encouraging. Ontario is a tier-one mining jurisdiction and produced 2.5Moz gold in 2018, nearly half of Canada’s total annual gold production. The Province hosts 18 active gold mining projects. Ardiden also has 100% ownership of the Seymour Lake Lithium Project in Ontario, where it is seeking a partner or alliance to draw value from the project, as well as other lithium interests in Ontario including the Root Lake and Wisa Lake Lithium Projects.

Coffee with Samso Episode 53 with Ian Warland, CEO of Twenty Seven Co. Limited (ASX: TSC) What is Ian Warland thinking behind the acquisition of Mt Dimer Project? Management is making moves that will support shareholder value in what is a volatile market. When I looked at Twenty Seven Co. earlier this year, I got interested in the extensive greenstone belt that made up the Rover Project. Everyone knows that the exploration sector is all about being in a marathon as opposed to being in a sprint. The acquisition of Mt. Dimer is a piece of the puzzle that tells me that management is thinking in the right space. To me, Mt. Dimer is all about the potential of creating a path to production. If this was achieved, the company would be almost self-funding. The exploration upside that exist in the other projects would compliment each other very well. In this episode of Coffee with Samso, we have Ian Warland sharing with us the strategy of the company. He tells us about the thinking behind the acquisition of the Mt Dimer project and the exciting exploration results from Harmonic and Creasy 1 prospects within the Rover Project. Rover’s footprint has expanded form a single tenement to three, covering a total of 461 square kilometres and 140 kilometres of prospective greenstone belt. Read between the lines of what is at play with the spread of projects within Twenty Seven Co., and you can tell that management is cooking up a good story. The gold market will remain buoyant and go through its ups and downs. What is important for investors is to understand what companies like TSC is doing and creating value for shareholders. PODCAST About Twenty Seven Co. Limited (ASX: TSC) Twenty Seven Co. Ltd (ASX:TSC) is an Australian company exploring for economic deposits containing base and precious metals in highly prospective areas within stable jurisdictions. Formed in August 2018, after acquiring Nomad Exploration Ltd along with several highly prospective exploration projects in Australia, the company changed its name from Uranium SA to Twenty Seven Co.

Coffee with Samso Episode 54 with Warren Potma, Exploration Manager of Matador Mining Limited (ASX: MZZ) How do you define 120 km of Gold Mineralisation? When I look at what Matador Mining has in terms of geology, I struggle to understand how we are going to define the "motherlode". They have mineralisation all along the length of their project. The company has defined 32 target already. This is definitely a good problem to have and this is what is intriguing about the whole project. In Coffee with Samso Episode 54, Warren Potma shares how the company is systematically working on the project. One of the imposing features of this project is the 120 km of strike (length), where the company is continuously finding gold mineralisation. Sometimes, this is an issue as you cannot focus on a single potential prize. However, as Warren points out, this is a good problem. Exploration in the North American shield is not a walk in the park. The main concern is the weather. The cold and the limited working window makes life that little bit harder. This is something that is always on the top of my list when deciding if a project is going to work or not, so we discussed this extensively. In addition to the weather, the geology and the infrastructure are the most critical in project evaluation. This is a great conversation as I really was able to get a great understanding of the project from all aspects of making the project work for Matador Mining. PODCAST About Warren Potma Warren is a structural geologist with 25 years of global experience across gold and base metals exploration, mining and geometallurgy including: five years as Principal Consultant with CSA Global Mining Industry Consultants; eight years leading mineral exploration R&D initiatives for CSIRO (Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation); several years as exploration manager for Hot Chili Ltd. and Silver Swan Group (both ASX listed explorers), and five years working for Anglogold across gold exploration and mining in Western Australia. Warren joined Matador Mining as Exploration Manager in August 2020 with a mandate to deliver company-making new discoveries on the under-explored Cape Ray project. He brings to Matador a wealth of knowledge on new exploration technologies from his time with the CSIRO delivered through a systematic, quantitative, integrated mineral systems targeting approach to exploration incorporating geochemistry, geophysics, structural geology and spectral mineralogy. About Matador Mining Limited (ASX: MZZ) Matador Mining Limited is an exploration company that is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). The company has its main project in the south-western area of Newfoundland, Canada. The Project is about 25 km northeast of the coastal town of Port aux Basques and is located on the Cape Ray shear, one of the most prospective, yet under-explored gold regions in North America. The Company is the largest holder of ground along the Cape Ray shear, with approximately 120 km of continuous strike along the shear. The Company’s tenement boundary is located approximately 50 km along strike from Marathon Gold’s (MOZ.TSX) 4.2Moz Valentine Lake Gold Project. The Projects hosts a current resource of approximately 840koz at 2g/t, with 96% of the resource less than 200m from the surface. The Project is supported by excellent existing infrastructure including roads (15 km from site), water, skilled workforce (drive in drive out) as well as World-class, low-cost grid power access (6c/KwH). The Company released a positive Scoping Study in 2020 proposed a 1.2 Mtpa standalone mining and processing operation, the Scoping Study has demonstrated potentially strong financial metrics for the Cape Ray Gold Project. The preliminary economics indicate the Project has positive financial metrics over an initial mine life of 7 years with capital payback during the first 1.75 years of the Project’s life 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 55 with Barry Moore, General Manager and Director of Scarlett Invest Money is Dirty. Is it time to start thinking about currency diversification? COVID has made money even dirtier, so more people are using digital money which is eco-friendly and improves the speed of transactions. The emergence of cryptocurrency has taken the world by storm as it is considered secure, reliable and trustworthy because it is based on blockchain. Read here to understand the difference between digital and cryptocurrencies. Investing in Cryptocurrency The world of cryptocurrency is one that seems to divide our thoughts when it comes to investments. I was involved in several ICO (Initial Coin Offering) three years ago when it was all happening. Money was being raised for all sorts of projects which I suspect are no longer in the marketplace. With the uncertainty of credibility, the world of crypto was plunged into deeper space of mistrust when the pricing of all the coins started to fall back. The darling of the crypto world, Bitcoin, was leading the pack downwards into a world of darkness. In recent months, the revival has been short of spectacular and we are seeing many "credible" sources embracing the crypto world. Paypal has declared their association with the use of digital currency in allowing the process of using bitcoin on their platform. In this episode, we talk to Barry Moore who is a local Perth entrepreneur promoting the use of cryptocurrency and creating a crypto-exchange where coins can be traded and flow into our "normal" marketplace. The digitisation of currency is here to stay and it will revolutionise the way we use cash. We will have more control on money transfer and the use of currency. Most people would find this a new concept but I assure you that this is no longer a new story. This is a developing story that has taken a firm foundation internationally. The use of crypto is now mainstream and is without a doubt here to stay for us to use and invest. Please take the time to watch and do yourself a favour and seek more research. This is the start of a new revolution that will be looked upon by the next generation as a game-changer in investment styles. PODCAST About Barry Moore General Manager and Director, experienced algorithmic crypto trader and a machine learning evangelist. Barry focuses on the logic behind the combination of analysis tools, neural networks and genetic algorithms for optimisation. He always wanted to have a trading bot with more features but never had the time to build a solution beyond basic python technical analysis tracker. About Scarlett Invest Scarlett Invest is a business group inspired by Investment in property through cryptocurrency. On completion of the ICO (Initial Coin Offering), Scarlett Global opens the doors to token holders with experts engaging in profitable businesses including Commodity Trading, Property Development, Real Estate, Information Technology, Vessel Consultancy and Appraisals of Hospitality, Government Projects. Scarlett has mostly been concerned with listing and connecting buyers and sellers. However, The Scarlett with the help of blockchain introduces new ways to trade real estate and can enable trading platforms and online marketplaces to support real estate transactions more comprehensively. Scarlett has launched its own ERC20 token that uses blockchain technology to facilitate real estate and rental property transactions. By tokenizing real property, assets can then be traded much like stocks on an exchange and transactions can be done online. Scarlett allows sellers to tokenize assets, essentially handling it like a stock sale, and liquidating that asset through a token sale using the platform. The collected tokens can be exchanged for fiat currency, with buyers owning a percentage stake of the property and its rental returns. No Intermediaries: Brokers, lawyers, and banks have long been part of the real estate ecosystem. However, cutting out the intermediaries will result in buyers and sellers getting more out of their money as they save on commissions and fees charged by these intermediaries. This also makes the process much quicker as the back-and-forth between these middlemen gets cut. Liquidity: Real estate has long been considered an ill liquid asset since it takes time for sales to conclude. This isn’t the case with cryptocurrencies and tokens since they can readily be traded for fiat currencies through exchanges. However, as tokens, real estate can be readily traded. A seller doesn’t have to wait for a buyer who can afford the whole property in order to get some value out of their property.

Coffee with Samso Episode 56 with Simon Mitchell, Managing Director of Southern Gold Limited (ASX: SAU) Looking for a Hishikari Gold System, Tier 1 Epithermal Gold System Southern Gold Limited stands out with its OTB (Out of The Box) factor. When you have something that others don't, you are steps ahead in the chase. My go-to company that has an OTB factor is Gold Road Resources Limited (ASX: GOR) with their dominance over the Yarmana Greenstone Belt; Hot Chili Limited with their Copper-Au play in the coastal plains of Chile; Andromeda Metals Limited (ASX: ADN) with their dominance over Halloysite in South Australia and Blackstone Minerals Limited (ASX: BSX) with their walk-up Nickel mine in Vietnam. They are just a few to name but they all have something unique. Having a swag of projects in South Korea and chasing a Tier 1 gold system to find a potential Hishikari gold system is no easy process. As Simon Mitchell said, to attain the portfolio of projects that they have now is not a walk-in-the-park. Simon shares with us his knowledge about historical mining in Korea and its recent exploration. Epithermal systems actually do exist and the high grades are even complimenting the discovered systems. The sniff by recent explorers is telling Simon that this chase is worthy and the rewards are going to be in a magnitude that is not common in Korea and potentially in the world. We are expecting a lot of happy investors if Southern Gold discovers either the brother or the grandson of a Hishikari Epithermal system. The prize is to find a gold system that allows us to not worry about the gold price. This is indeed something that is not ordinary and the process of finding the "Holy Grail" is going to take time and funding. Fortunately, Southern Gold has time and funding. PODCAST About Simon Mitchell Managing Director BSc (Hons) Geol, MAusIMM, GAICD,MSEG Simon Mitchell is a geologist and finance executive with 30 years of resources industry experience in technical and corporate roles including 10 years of gold exploration and mine development experience with Normandy NFM, RGC, Goldfields and Aurora Gold in countries as diverse as Australia, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. Mr. Mitchell worked for 6 years at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, predominantly in Project Finance, and more than 6 years with Toro Energy as General Manager of Business Development where he was responsible for mergers and acquisitions, capital raisings and the engagement of investors worldwide. Previously Mr. Mitchell was Managing Director of Asiatic Gold Ltd, an unlisted public company with gold exploration projects in South Korea, assets that were recently acquired by Southern Gold. About Southern Gold Limited (ASX: SAU) Southern Gold Limited (SAU) is a company with one unified vision: to become an internationally recognised high-grade gold-silver project generator in South Korea. SAU wants to be known for its highly professional technical team which has a reputation for making valuable discoveries in a manner that shows respect for their operating environment and the local people. SAU is driving this vision with a business model of monetising small gold deposits as they search for the big ones. SAU is conservative with the issuance of irs scrip and looks to put as many dollars as possible into drilling holes to make the next big discovery.

Coffee with Samso Episode 57 with Christian Easterday, Managing Director of Hot Chili Limited (ASX: HCH) The pieces have been reset and it is time to set the World on Notice. The anxious wait for shareholders of Hot Chili Limited (ASX:HCH) to make the next step of the company's journey has arrived. There has been a lot of chat in the last couple of months as the company goes through this new building phase. Recently the stakeholders of Hot Chili have been experiencing bouts of confusion, frustration and generally desperately seeking information. I think this episode of Coffee with Samso delves into all these questions. At the conclusion of the conversation, I cannot help but think that this company has so much more value than what the market is valuing it at the moment. This placement was about providing a very strong rubber stamp from the Australian Institutional investors. It was about the setting up of our register and starting to reconstruct that with an Institutional element. Christian systematically paints some colour into the following points, Corporate Fund Raising. Composition of the incoming money. Positioning the company as the sole Copper ASX company with a Tier 1 project. How is the Funding de-risking the project. The upsides of Cortadera-like satellite projects. Increasing the Costa Fuego resource in magnitudes making Hot Chili a GLOBAL PLAYER. Upcoming corporate activities that will allow International access to the company. Watch the interview: Coffee with Samso Episode 57 Ultimately, I feel that this is one of the best Coffee with Samso that we have done together and a perfect manner to end a tumultuous year for the company and the copper-gold sector. This conversation sets the tone for a very promising 2021 for all stakeholders of the company. PODCAST About Hot Chili Limited (ASX:HCH) Hot Chili is an ASX listed copper explorer and developer with an exciting portfolio of projects at low altitude in Region III on the coastal range of Chile. The Company is developing a central copper hub named Costa Fuego, which combines all three of its projects (Cortadera, Productora and San Antonio) into what is considered to be one of the most desirable copper development locations in the world. With a combined Mineral Resource base of 2.9Mt copper, 2.7Moz gold, 9.9Moz silver and 64Kt molybdenum, the addition of the maiden Cortadera mineral resource ranks Costa Fuego amongst the largest copper Mineral Resources along the Chilean coastal range. Cortadera Copper Project Cortadera’s maiden Mineral Resource positions Hot Chili with the largest copper Mineral Resource and one of the largest gold Mineral Resources for an ASX-listed emerging company. The Cortadera maiden Mineral Resource of 451Mt at 0.46% copper equivalent (CuEq) takes the total Mineral Resource estimate for Costa Fuego (Cortadera, Productora & El Fuego) to 724Mt at 0.48% CuEq for 2.9Mt copper, 2.7Moz gold, 9.9Moz Silver and 64kt molybdenum. Cortadera also contains a higher grade component of 104Mt at 0.74% CuEq, and this has strong potential to continue growing rapidly with further drilling. For further information on the Cortadera Maiden Resource please click on this link ASX Release- Maiden Resource at Cortadera Hot Chili’s combined Costa Fuego project now ranks as one of the world’s largest low-altitude, clean concentrate (no arsenic), copper-gold Mineral Resources not controlled by a major mining company, in what is considered to be one of the most desirable copper development locations in the world. Importantly, Cortadera lies 14km from the Company’s large-scale Productora copper development and adjacent to the high-grade El Fuego satellite copper projects. In February 2019, Hot Chili announced the execution of a formal Option Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in Cortadera. Since announcing the deal, Hot Chili has delivered six of the world’s best copper-gold porphyry drill results from Cuerpo 3 (the largest of the four porphyries discovered to date), confirming Cortadera as one of the most significant copper-gold discoveries of the past decade in Chile. Productora Copper Project Productora is one of the best located large-scale copper developments globally- (coastal range of Chile, low altitude, infrastructure rich, low capital intensity). Mineral Resources already stand at 1.5Mt copper and 1Moz gold, with an Ore Reserve of 167Mt established which underpins long life, bulk open-pit production, over a 10-year mine life, with first 8 years production averaging 66kt copper and 25koz gold annually. Productora is 100% owned by a Chilean incorporated company Sociedad Minera El Aguila SpA (SMEA). SMEA is a Joint Venture company, 80% owned by Sociedad Minera El Corazón Limitada (a 100% subsidiary of Hot Chili Limited), and 20% owned by CMP Productora (a 100% subsidiary of Compañía Minera del Pacífico S.A (CMP). El Fuego Copper Project To achieve the Company’s expanded growth strategy, Hot Chili has executed agreements to secure majority interest in two of the regions’ highest grade and most substantial underground mines- San Antonio and Valentina, collectively known as El Fuego. El Fuego is located 20km east of Productora, where the Company has completed a first-pass 5,000m drilling programme across two consolidated high grade copper mines (San Antonio and Valentina), which had seen little previous modern exploration owing to their private ownership for over 50 years. The majority of drilling was directed towards San Antonio which had reportedly produced approximately 2M tonnes grading 2% copper and 0.3g/t gold and 17g/t silver from shallow depths since mining commenced in 1964. Selected significant results 9m grading 2.0% copper from 132m down-hole depth, 6m grading 2.1% copper from 65m down-hole depth, 19m grading 2.0% copper from 61m down-hole depth (including 11m grading 2.4% copper), 15m grading 1.7% copper from 80m down-hole depth, 10m grading 1.6% copper from 58m down-hole depth (including 4m grading 2.7% copper), 5m grading 2.5% copper from 31m down-hole depth (including 2m grading 4.3% copper), Successful first-pass drilling at El Fuego has highlighted a shallow copper deposit which will add further scale to Hot Chili’s targeted high-grade resource inventory.

Coffee with Samso Episode 61 with Craig Mason, Executive Chairman of Complii Fintech Solutions Limited. In a complex world of the share market, simplicity and speed will create cost savings and allow transactions to be more free-flowing. Complii Fintech Solutions Limited (ASX: CF1) is a Compliance and Operational Efficiency business that was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) last year. The business in stockbroking has changed dramatically over the last 30 years with even more significant changes over the last ten years. As Australian Securities and Investments Commissions (ASIC) and the ASX step up their regulatory requirements, the financial industry continues to evolve dramatically. Most industry participants will agree that we can expect more changes ahead of us. For the financial industry, the need to be compliant and to protect all participants has become mandatory. Broking firms need to protect themselves and also their clients, hence the use of technology such as Complii will become mandatory. As Craig Mason explains, the technology was written for the ASX and is complete. There are no stages to go through. The company is beyond proof of concept, in fact, they are even having paying clients. Craig puts forth a very compelling statement: This business is a mandatory exercise for the broking industry. The technology not only makes work more efficient, it protects all participants from the industry. PODCAST About Complii Fintech Solutions Limited Many stockbrokers have been forced to use substandard software or adapt manual paper procedures that have made it difficult to deal with the changes in legislation brought about by CLERP (“Corporate Law Economic Reform”) in early 2000 and also the recent FOFA requirements. Many firms are still using these manual processes and old systems that align with "industry standard" and are unfortunately having to pay out hundreds and thousands of dollars in client settlements. To provide support for these changes and an organised paperless compliance process, the Complii Automation Innovation Software was born in 2007. The system started as a simple SOA (“Statement of Advice”) generator and client profile tracker but has now morphed into a full compliance and corporate system for brokers or anyone dealing in Securities. Operating in many stockbroking firms and AFSLs, for over 8 years now the system has seen numerous ASIC audits and external audits, all with positive results. Complii originated in Perth, and was built with logic conveyed by advisors, management and compliance personnel. Complii continues to grow, and can be seen in organisations on both the West and East Coast of Australia. This customisable software has been designed to automate, record and report on an AFS Licensee’s compliance obligations. About Craig Mason Craig is the Executive Chairman of Complii FinTech solutions Ltd. Craig has over 29 years’ experience in the finance industry in various capacities and has worked closely with ASX, ASIC and recently APRA to help shape the industry, more specifically in the areas of custody, third party trade execution and clearing associated services. Craig has previously been an active director of the Stockbrokers and Financial Advisers Association (SAFAA) and also sat on the SAFAA Retail Broker Advisory Committee.‎ Craig is the former Country Head of BNY Mellon Australia and Non Exec Chairman Pershing Securities Australia Pty Ltd, a BNY Mellon company, where he was responsible for the overall management of the Company. Mr. Mason’s role included the implementation of strategic goals and objectives, providing direction and leadership towards the achievement of BNY Mellon/Pershing’s philosophy and mission, overseeing company operations to ensure efficient management of resources, and ensuring governance functions were fulfilled. Since establishing the first true Third Party Clearing business in Australia in 2000 (Berndale Securities which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill – Bank Of America) and a subsequent trade execution and clearing services business for UBS in 2005, he has continued to work with the industry and its stakeholders to further enhance the important mid-tier and boutique broking segment with particular focus on the Retail/Wealth Management segment. In 2009 Craig founded Penson Financial Services Australia as an independent provider of third-party trade execution, clearing, international market access, custody and nominee services to the small and mid-tier broking participants and AFSL holders, one of the fastest growing segments of the Australian market. The business model was specifically targeted at allowing Participants and AFSL holders to compete with the top end of town on service, capital efficiency and compliance while providing a real alternative to the significant cost pressures that were emerging around Capital, Compliance and Risk management as a result of the GFC and changed market conditions.

Coffee with Samso Episode 62 is with Andrew Radonjic, Managing Director - Venture Minerals Limited (ASX: VMS) 2021 is going to be very good for VMS. The first time I looked at Venture Minerals, I was immediately drawn to the Golden Grove North deposit and that was when we had our first Coffee with Samso - A Targeted Diversified Mineral Explorer - Venture Minerals Limited (ASX: VMS) which was published on 26th October 2020. Since that very first Coffee with Samso, I have come to believe that this company is way under-valued. I was not really a fan of the Riley project as there was never much volume but with the price rising to USD170/T this is now a play. If they get this to be shipped, and they will, this will bring in some serious money into their bank. You cannot ignore this anymore. Funding has been more focused on these kinds of projects lately and you simply go with the flow. The fact that they raised AUD10M with such ease tells me that the market likes Riley and that also says a lot about what it will mean for the company. As for Kulin and Golden Grove North, these are the blue skies that would propel Venture Minerals into the share price stratosphere. The upside on positive exploration results will be a big boost to the company. When the company mentioned that they did trenching at Kulin, I thought they were doing that because they had no idea what was going on with the geology of the project. Now, one may think this is a bad thing but when you realise that they are actually seeing good gold results at a place where previously there had been no historical work, that makes it a really special place. In this episode, we talked about all these aspects and it will become clearer to viewers that Venture may indeed be on its way to realising a lot of value in 2021. Today, Andrew Radonjic shares with us: The completion of the AUD10M raising. Why the recent exploration results at Kulin has put this project as a priority. The recent iron ore price rise has allowed the company to become self-sufficient. The prospectivity of the Golden Grove project. What the discovery of Julimar has meant for the immediate area. How recent discoveries within the Julimar region has sparked a land grad in the region. This is a good time to download the first Ebook (FREE) from Samso as it is all about VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulfides). PODCAST About Andrew Radonjic Mr. Radonjic is a geologist and mineral economist with over 25 years of experience in mining and exploration, with a specific focus on gold and nickel in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Mr. Radonjic began his career at the Agnew Nickel Mine before spending over 15 years in the Paddington, Mount Pleasant and Lady Bountiful Extended operations north of Kalgoorlie. He has fulfilled a variety of senior roles which gave rise to three gold discoveries, totalling in excess of 3 million ounces in resources and the development of over 1 million ounces. About Venture Minerals Limited Venture Minerals Limited is currently exploring in Western Australia for Copper-Lead-Zinc at the Thor Prospect, Nickel-Cobalt at the Pingaring Project (adjacent and along strike to the Quicksilver Nickel-Cobalt discovery), Nickel-Copper (new target) at the Odin Prospect and Nickel-Copper-Cobalt at the Caesar Project. Recently the maiden drilling program at Thor intersected massive sulfides confirming the Copper-Lead-Zinc target is a 20 a kilometre VMS style system. Thor is now a top priority target for Venture moving forward. The Company's initial focus was on realising the full economic potential of the Mount Lindsay Tin-Tungsten Deposit in North-West Tasmania. The Company has already defined one of the world's largest undeveloped tin deposits and has completed a Feasibility Study on Mount Lindsay. The emergence of tin as the metal most impacted by new technology through its use in Electric Vehicles has refocused Venture’s approach to developing this asset and an underground scoping study is currently underway.

Coffee with Samso Episode 63 with Scott Williamson, Managing Director of Blackstone Minerals Ltd (ASX:BSX) Important announcements from Blackstone Minerals Limited (ASX:BSX) that say Nickel is the game. Blackstone Minerals has taken a big step in announcing two major news to the market over the last week. Firstly there was the divestment of all their non-Ta Khoa projects into a new company. Secondly, on the 22nd January, Blackstone Minerals announces partnership with Trafigura Pte Ltd for the supply of nickel and cobalt products as part of Blackstone Minerals' downstream strategy. Blackstone Minerals is taking steps to become a significant global, green nickel product supplier catering to the battery market. The divestment and the partnership with Trafigura is a clear sign that Blackstone Minerals is gearing up for the production end of the spectrum. Scott discussed the supply crunch that is coming thick and fast due to the EV (electric vehicle) revolution. This revolution is coming at a faster rate than more industry participants have expected. Scott Williamson explains what is happening in the EV world. In this episode of Coffee with Samso, Scott Williamson talks to us about what is really happening in the EV market space. He shares with us some inside understanding of the market and what his partners in the EV race are saying. The EV revolution is coming thick and fast and a nickel sulphide supply crunch is going to happen. As we have learnt in previous episodes of Coffee with Samso, the whole exploration side of the Ta Khoa project is on its way up and finding more metal. Scott tells us that this side of the business is basically status quo. What Scott wants the market to understand is that Blackstone Minerals is being driven to the production side due to market forces. These market forces are getting stronger and it will cause a supply shortage situation which would place the company in a very healthy position in time to come. Is Blackstone Minerals Limited fairly valued at the moment? If you ask the average investor, they will find it safe to say that equities are not being reflected with the potential market demand for commodities. This is most likely true to some degree as the market is slowly waking up to the reality of the rush of the EV uptake. Several years ago, most people were talking about the coming of electric vehicles and the onset of renewable energy. The former is definitely happening with a rush, and from what Scott is telling us, the demand is coming on much faster than the anticipation from the market. As for renewable energy, I think there is evidence that the uranium boom is not too far away. The widespread use of solar energy and the need for batteries to store the surplus energy is what will drive this side of the market. It will probably not be the driver that could be called a revolution from an industrial need, but it will cause some ripple effects. So if you look at the current market capitalisation of Blackstone Minerals, you will not be too far off the mark to bet that there is going to be a lot of added value to come. PODCAST About Scott Williamson Managing Director Blackstone Minerals Limited Qualifications: BEng (Mining), BCom, MAusIMM Scott Williamson is an experienced Managing Director with a demonstrated history of working in the mining and metals industry. He is skilled in Open Pit and Underground Mining, Corporate Finance, Investor Relations and Project Planning. A strong business development professional with equity capital markets experience, Scott graduated from West Australian School of Mines and Curtin University of Technology. Scott holds a WA First Class Mine Manager’s Certificate and is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. 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 infrastructure 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. 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 toward making this a reality.
