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 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 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 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.

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.

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.
