Coffee with Samso Episode 35 with Keith Bowes, Executive Director, Technical, Matador Mining Limited (ASX: MZZ) It’s always good to talk to a company with a trailblazing story to tell, so I was delighted to sit down with Keith Bowes of Matador Mining to hear some details behind their pioneering high-grade gold mining in Canada. Matador was the first Australian gold developer to enter the Canadian gold market following the acquisition of its Cape Ray project in 2018. Located in the south of Newfoundland, a large island east of the Canadian mainland, the Cape Ray gold project is in the Cape Ray Shear, a geological structure that extends around 400 kms. through Newfoundland and is regarded as one of the most prospective yet under-explored regions in North America. Matador consolidated the southern portion of this geological structure, with its tenure extending across approximately 65 kms. of a potential strike. Following a review of historical drilling, as well as completion of the company’s inaugural drill programme during late 2018, a JORC resource of 1.02Moz Au at an average grade of 2.2g/t was defined at the project. This resource is contained within four areas covering a total strike of around 14kms. The majority of the source is at the Central Zone, which hosts more than 800,000oz of gold at a grade of 2.6g/t Au. This Central Zone shows excellent potential for future open pit operations as well as significant underground potential. Keith Bowes, Matador’s Executive Director, Technical, is a highly- regarded mining executive with extensive experience in metallurgy, project management and operational management. Here’s some of his points from our conversation: We pride ourselves in being a high-grade open pit operation; we’re expecting our head grades to be something in the order of two, maybe 2.2 grams per tonne I don't think we're going to find one massive pit; I think we're going to find multiple big pits Even within that area we're think we're going to find some more in there as well, so very, very highly productive from a relatively small area Canada's very similar to Australia in terms of there's a very defined process that you need to go through. So long as we go through those steps and meet all the different hurdles at each of the different steps, we don't see any issues coming up with the project Watch the interview here or see the video above.

Rooster Talk Episode 15 with Bryan Raebun, Vice President, Australian MiniFootball Association I met Bryan Raeburn late last year while they were promoting the 2019 Mini Football World Cup in Perth, Western Australia. This is a catch-up chat and Bryan is now looking to set up the next sporting code in Australia. The COVID-19 situation has been a very distracting event for business, however, the fact that there is no serious sporting event happening now may be good news for Bryan. The mini-football code is not new as it is well played all over the world. The fact that there have been past World Cup events is a true testament to the popularity of the event. http://www.ausminifootball.com/ Bryan Raeburn email: vicepresident@ausminifootball.com PODCAST 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.

Rooster Talk Episode 16 with Ed Turner, CEO, Kingwest Resources Limited (ASX:KWR) This episode of Rooster Talk is with Ed Turner of Kingwest Resources Limited (ASX: KWR). Ed and I made a Coffee with Samso late last year and I was immediately keen to keep updated with the progress of the project. It is good to hear that they are doing well and have been getting some great results. The recent drilling results that were published by the company are very encouraging.  The results do give some more evidence that there is a potential mining scenario here in the historical Menzies Goldfields.  The positive results do indicate that continued drilling is warranted and should be encouraged. Kingwest Resources Limited (ASX: KWR) Ed is a geologist with 30 years of experience throughout Europe, South America, Africa and Australia in a range of roles encompassing base, precious and speciality metals for leading mining companies. Technical strengths include exploration, underground mining, resource estimation, feasibility studies and development level work.

Coffee with Samso Episode 37 with Rick Rule, CEO, Senior Managing Director, Sprott Inc.; President & CEO, Sprott U.S. Holdings This episode of Coffee with Samso with Rick Rule is an update to my previous conversation with Rick in March which unfortunately was dogged by technical issues. I was eagerly looking forward to speaking with him again, as there had been many changes in the intervening four weeks and I wanted to hear Rick’s opinions on them. Rick Rule began his career in the securities business in 1974 and has been principally involved in natural resource security investments ever since. He’s a leading resource investor specialising in mining, energy, water utilities, forest products and agriculture, and has originated and participated in hundreds of debt and equity transactions with private, pre-public and public companies. Rick is also the Founder of Global Resource Investments, President and CEO of Sprott U.S. Holdings, Inc. and a member of the Sprott Inc. Board of Directors. He’s a frequent speaker at industry conferences and has been interviewed for numerous radio, television, print and online media outlets concerning natural resource investment and industry topics. He’s also frequently quoted by prominent natural resource-oriented newsletters and advisories. Some highlights of Rick’s views were: We believe this decline in sales will lead to decline in margins and will lead to a decline in the ability to service debt at all levels of society. But for right now the market is very bullish, very buoyant and we expect precious metals markets, while volatile, will also continue to be buoyant There's plenty of liquidity in the market now and I’m afraid that investors that don't have a credit background are confusing liquidity that is cash in the system with solvency; and those are actually very different words There are no certainties in life, I've learned that after 67 years, but there are probabilities and the probability is that the policy response to an economic slowdown will be continued quantitative easing, which is to say counterfeiting, continued low or in fact negative real interest rates, and a continued deterioration of central government balance sheets I'm concerned about the fact that a lot of the valuation that occurred in the tech sector, like in the mineral exploration sector, was highly speculative and if we have a circumstance where a business is growing very rapidly but on low margins, the idea that it’s capital intensive, that it requires cheap capital and its margins are under pressure really scares me Because the ethos in Australia is more geared towards making money and also because of this wonderful combination of a low and declining Australian dollar in the face of rapidly increasing gold prices in Australian dollars, there’s wonderful combination hard to screw it up, even I couldn't screw it Watch the interview here or see the video above.

Coffee with Samso Episode 36 with Brad Underwood, Chairman & Managing Director, Galileo Mining Limited (ASX: GAL) Nickel has never been my geology, so I tend to leave it to the experts and Galileo Mining Limited, a resources company that comes out of the stables of renowned prospector Mark Creasy, certainly falls into that category. The Fraser Range is one of the “mineral provinces” that I have admired from afar and it’s where Galileo’s has its main project, the Fraser Range Nickel Project. There were promising results from its drilling campaign and now it’s drilling again, with all indications that it may come up with more promising results. The recent successes Galileo and Legend Mining perked my interest, together with Nova Nickel Mines and the Tropicana Gold Mines over the last decade.  Many companies in this arena have come and gone, all except the tenements owned by Mark Creasy, and that’s why I have an interest in these projects. The Fraser Range Project covers two zones of the extensive Fraser Range geological belt, known for the world-class Nova nickel-copper-cobalt mine discovered by Sirius Resources in 2012. Galileo’s northern Fraser Range tenement is 80km from the operating Nova mine, while the southern tenements are just 30km from the mine. Galileo is targeting Nova style nickel-copper-cobalt mineralisation in the Fraser Range and has a deep level of experience in the region. Galileo has Joint Ventures with the Creasy Group over highly-prospective tenements in the Fraser Range and also 100% ownership of its Norseman Project, located adjacent to the town of Norseman in an infrastructure-rich area of Western Australia. The Norseman Project area is less than 10km from the company’s current JORC cobalt-nickel resources and includes numerous areas with potential for further cobalt discoveries, as well as additional nickel and copper prospects. Galileo was originally privately owned by Mark Creasy and listed on the ASX in May 2018, raising AUS$15 million in IPO funding. Mark Creasy continues to be the largest shareholder, controlling approximately 31 percent of the company. ASX-listed miner Independence Group ASX: IGO) and Mineral Resources’ founder Chris Ellison are among the company’s top five largest shareholders. Galileo Chairman & Managing Director Brad Underwood spent eight years as General Manager of the Creasy Group’s exploration at the Fraser Range and Norseman. Some key points he made in our conversation included: It's a great place to explore, we've seen the value creation with Sirius and the Legend mining results they've released recently; it's a good area to make discoveries in because the value proposition from any resource that comes out is very strong There have been no discoveries in the Fraser range that haven't occurred either on Creasy group joint venture ground or 100% owned ground, so his mark has been there so long and he’s spent a large amount of money in the area, I think at the last count over forty million dollars, that he really has a genuine first mover advantage in understanding the belt. I think the market recognises the history we've had in the Fraser range and our chances of success are weighted accordingly We're currently running an air core drilling programme of around eight to ten thousand litres that'll give us a first pass test under cover and we’ll come back and do more deeper drilling after we've completed that… more drilling means more chances of success and success is what we're after.

Rooster Talk Episode 18 with Mark Anderson, CEO, Foundation of Indigineous Sustainable Health (FISH) This episode of Rooster Talk has Mark Anderson from FISH (Foundation for Indigenous Sustainable Health) talking to us about the issues of Australian Indigenous intergenerational issues. This is a topic that I have wanted to speak on for many years, Why are we not celebrating our Australian Indigenous culture. There is a perception that we are but I feel that in practice, in reality, I don’t feel that is the case. I really liked how Mark has summarised the case in that to move forward, we need to understand the issues and the history of the Australian Indigenous people. I don’t mean to understand their culture, but to understand their unfortunate history with the coming of the non-indigenous man. In some ways, all sides need to reconcile their past issues and work together as there is great richness in the Australian Indigenous culture. I believe that Australia is missing one element in making it a great nation. This missing link is to embrace the history that makes this nation great, the embracing of the indigenous history and way of life.

Coffee with Samso Episode 38 with Don Smith, Managing Director, Lithium Consolidated Limited (ASX:Li3) This is a fascinating conversation with Don Smith from Lithium Consolidated Limited that gives great insights into various aspects of real exploration. His company’s projects are not on a mega-scale, but what these projects lack in size they more than make for in outstanding technical potential. In recent years many projects have claimed the “neurology” title, but few of them can stand up if you look into the technical aspects of their claims. What Lithium Consolidated has is the best combination of a great big old heat source in association with a structurally altered greenstone group of rocks. Whether you get a deposit out of it is another matter, but without those factors to start with you’re already way back in the line. Little to no cover is another great asset and combined with the other geology, makes Lithium Consolidated projects worthy of being on anyone’s watchlist. Some highlights of Don’s observations include: There's an element of taking things step by step because I think what’s missing in a lot of the exploration spaces is that systematic science driven way of doing things, but we're also focused on the commercial reality We have more of a narrow focus on what can be found here in Western Australia and it certainly exposes our investors to a few things that are less conventional here in Western Australia but certainly no less relevant, and VMS is one of them and the IRG intrusive-related gold system is another one; we seem to have both of those happening in that same area so it's very exciting There's no going around that the capital markets are always difficult for exploration but I think because we have a good story that we're already getting some interest so that's a very positive side. The thing about exploration is…it's about trying to remove the element of error. If you've got a hundred percent error and you do things that remove that, the chances of you having success will obviously be higher and that's what we aim to do through our data-driven scientific methodical process, but also with the ability to bring that to commercial outcomes as well Watch the interview here or see the video above.

Rooster Talk Episode 19 with Andy Jiang, Consultant, Tourism and International Trade Andy Jiang returns to Rooster Talk and picks up what we discussed a month ago. Has the Dust settled for the Tourism Industry and what is happening with the China – Australia trade war. Andy Jiang and I crossed paths nearly 10 years ago when he was the Director of Corporate Finance for Deloitte in Perth, Western Australia.  After his time with Deloitte, he moved on to Tourism Australia where he held the position of Head of Asia Development and General Manager, China. Since then, he has moved on to having his own business and practising his craft in the same sector. Andy is a Shanghai native who grew up in Texas. I am fluent in Mandarin and actively trade in the financial derivatives market. Rooster Talk is about engaging industry participants and allowing them to share their knowledge. I sought Andy out to participate in Rooster Talk because of his time in the frontline of the Tourism sector. China is Australia’s biggest business partner and to be in charge of this sector requires a person with a well-balanced mind. Andy speaks in a thoughtful manner and you can hear the measured words he uses in the chat. The take away from this Rooster Talk is that the Tourism Industry is in for a hard recovery but it is not all bad news. Nothing will replace the income from International tourism but innovation and resilient thinking will create new opportunities. I hope you find this Rooster Talk as invigorating as I did because what was shared is a wholesome street understanding in China international trade.

Rooster Talk Episode 20 with Veronica Lind, Business and Marketing Strategist, Vermilion Pinstripes In this episode of Rooster Talk, Samso is talking to Veronica Lind from Vermilion Pinstripes, who is a “Modern Marketing” practitioner. I met Veronica through my Rooster Talk with one of her clients, My Blue Tea.  I was impressed with her website and the way it was managed and she introduced me to the creator of the website. To cut a long story short, I contacted Veronica and we had a great conversation about marketing and business development. I engaged Veronica to refocus and re-label Samso. Rooster Talk – Episode 014 – The Malaysian Superfood – My Blue Tea. “Vermilion Pinstripes is the creator of growth” Vermilion Pinstripes is an international modern sales marketing and communications agency driven by a singular mission: To help businesses thrive with confidence. We harness the power of our collective expertise in business, communications, marketing and technology to help brands achieve their goals. This is through our Modern Marketing framework which guides teams to orchestrate the customer’s journey as one voice, one brand. We are operating in The Experience Economy today and Modern Marketing empowers experienced B2B business, marketing and communications professionals on their journeys of growth for their brands. One of our common discussion topics was Branding. We discussed the need and why and how people don’t succeed in this area due to a lack of understanding and how to practice good branding. I felt that this was a great topic to share and with Veronica’s “Modern Marketing” way of getting messages out to the marketplace. Today, we all look at marketing as a myriad of social media platforms. Market participants are not utilising all the tools and at the same time, they are also overemphasising the many tools as opposed to utilising quality tools. It was this reason that I felt it wise to share Veronica’s thoughts and how she views the art of Branding in today’s business community.

Coffee with Samso Episode 40 with Christian Easterday, Hot Chili Limited (ASX: HCH) Hot Chili Limited (ASX: HCH) has been one of my favourite companies on the ASX lately as they are progressing towards the realisation of their Tier-1 Copper-Gold Porphyry project in Chile. Christian Easterday is back telling us what has been happening since our last conversation. In that episode he described what Hot Chili is all about and the delights of a Porphyry story. Coffee with Samso – Episode 032 – A Giant Copper-Gold Porphyry Story In the midst of a global crisis, Christian has been able to create a path to production and the releasing of the potential of the Giant Cortadera Copper-Gold Porphyry deposit. About Hot Chili Limited Hot Chili (HCH) is an ASX-listed Australian mineral exploration company, well advanced in developing its portfolio of copper projects on the coastal range in Region III, Chile. Since listing on the ASX in 2010, the Company has successfully discovered and delineated the Productora copper deposit, established a substantial Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve, and completed a JORC 2012 Compliant Pre-feasibility study. The Company continues to assess value accretive opportunities and is very pleased to have secured an option to acquire a 100% interest in a major, privately-owned, copper-gold porphyry discovery, named Cortadera, adjoining the Company’s Productora and El Fuego copper projects, located on the Chilean coastal range. Hot Chili is partnered with Chile’s largest iron ore miner, Minera del Pacíico S.A. (CMP), who own 20% of the Productora project, and their parent Company CAP SA are also major shareholders in the Company. Hot Chili is managed by an experienced Board and supported by a dedicated consulting and advisory team. Our corporate governance processes promote responsible decision making and the highest standards of ethical behaviour and accountability. Christian Easterday Christian is a geologist with over 17 years of experience in the mineral exploration and mining industry. He holds an honours degree in geology from the University of Western Australia, a masters degree in Mineral Economics from the Curtin University of Technology and a masters degree in Business Administration from Curtin’s Graduate School of Business. Mr Easterday has held several senior positions and exploration management roles with top-tier gold companies including Placer Dome, Hill 50 Gold and Harmony Gold, specialising in structural geology, resource development and mineral economic valuation. For the past eight years, Mr Easterday has been involved in various aspects of project negotiation. This work has involved negotiations and valuations covering gold, copper, uranium, iron ore, nickel, and tantalum resource projects in Australia and overseas. Mr Easterday is a member of The Australian Institute of Geoscientists. When I read the latest announcement from the company, I saw two key aspects that tell a great progressive story. These two factors are, The relationship that is being created with the Chilean government on the mining of Productora. Amongst the news, there was the subtle mention of the upgrade in the high-grade core within Cortadera. I wanted to speak to Christian and get his views on these key points which I believe are important to the progression of the company. There is also the confidence that shareholders have shown in placing extra funding into the company in their recent capital raising. In conclusion, this is slowly becoming to emerge as an interesting company to keep on your watchlist. I hope you find it an interesting object lesson in understanding what these giant porphyry deposits can become and a great lesson in exploring and defining a copper-porphyry deposit.
