The 5 most interesting mining deals this week

1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,000
Right O money wise.
I'm looking forward to the

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:02,840
weekend.
Ellie, are you?

3
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:04,960
Sure.
And happy Friday, OK.

4
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,039
Friday, happy Friday and I think
we we joined forwards excellent

5
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,640
interview going live yesterday.
I I actually reckon that the

6
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,000
late quarterly reporters out
there thought they would get

7
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,040
away without a name and change.
No, no, no, absolutely not.

8
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,640
Never fear, Ellie.
We, we're, we're rolling it out

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,400
today.
We, we, we never forget.

10
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,640
We never forget.
And I'm gonna try my luck with

11
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,360
the new segment myself.
I'm.

12
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,720
I've been thinking about some of
the deals I've seen in the last

13
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:27,640
week.
There's five of them.

14
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,960
And I just keep thinking about
them so much.

15
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,280
And I thought I'd rapid fire and
just tell you why they're still

16
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,880
interesting to me.
The top five deals a week.

17
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,600
And spoiler, I actually think I
got a bit too interested in one

18
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,280
of them, namely the one in a
trading hall today.

19
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,480
But first, Ali, I want you to
picture something, OK?

20
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,040
Imagine you're the kind of minor
that truly cares about your

21
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,680
workers, but you're picturing
it.

22
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,240
I'm picturing it.
Yeah, you're not.

23
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,920
You're not the kind that's all
talk, but the kind that really

24
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,400
gives a crap.
You're you're growing

25
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,880
production, you're bringing new
minds online.

26
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,680
It's time to show your workers
that you care with the quality

27
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,880
of facilities they get while
working away.

28
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Don't install boring donners or
a boring camp or you know, some

29
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,400
dry boring place for people to
just sleep and exist.

30
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,880
Doesn't sound very fun.
Make the accommodation as

31
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,280
comfortable as possible for the
time you workers are away from

32
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,640
their families.
This is where grounded comes in.

33
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,920
The legends are grounded.
Don't just install, they design

34
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,920
these things.
Up they do.

35
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,000
No, they're full service from
concept to completion and the

36
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,880
design side is super impressive.
The handle conceptual design,

37
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,920
feasibility studies, detailed
renders, DA preparation and

38
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,480
submission and building perm
applications, or just to name a

39
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,040
few.
Your life is easy when when your

40
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,840
work is a living in a five star
resort in in the Bush, Ali,

41
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,360
that's like this is a five star
FIFO camp.

42
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,040
That's what this is.
You need to review on these

43
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,280
things like Google reviews.
If if you Google reviewed

44
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,400
grounded camps, they'd be
that'll be 5 stars.

45
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,960
These are five stars.
You can even check out a few.

46
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,080
I mean you've got the the
Rockley Palms 1 they did for Rio

47
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,000
Tinto 262 new double Storey
accommodation.

48
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,400
The one I it's a particular
favorite of mine is the

49
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,120
Christmas creep at Fortescue.
They put in an additional 200

50
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,640
rooms but my favorite bit they
added a brand new Wellness

51
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,440
centre with a massage studio, a
hair salon and yoga.

52
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,680
That is so cool.
I love that you're ever going to

53
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,880
go FIFO, Ally.
I think I know which which.

54
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,160
Companies, you've got to check
that there's a.

55
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,040
Join Ford SQ in requesting
Christmas Creek.

56
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,480
Yeah, I've.
Got I'm going to need somewhere

57
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,960
to do my reformer plan.
Love it to care about your

58
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:24,600
workers.
Prove it.

59
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,840
Get grounded to make their life
better.

60
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,840
Go grounded.
All right, Ally.

61
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:30,760
So I've got some, I've got some,
some deals that have piqued my

62
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,480
interest over the last few days.
I thought, I thought I'd, yeah,

63
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,720
just wrap it into a bit of a
segment.

64
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,840
And normally when there's a
deal, we do a like a, a

65
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,440
relatively thorough breakdown.
But today I just wanted to RIP

66
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,320
through, you know, a few of the
ones that that over the last few

67
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,520
days I've just found, like,
pretty damn interesting.

68
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,280
What's top of your list, Trev?
What's #1.

69
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,280
The Alkane Mandalay merger, I
know JD talked about this

70
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,840
already the day it came out, but
I keep, I just keep thinking

71
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,200
about it.
It's it's, it's actually a

72
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,200
really interesting deal to me.
Both Alkane and Mandalay,

73
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,960
they're in that subscale kind of
producer cohort.

74
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,680
So it's it's easy to overlook
them.

75
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,840
This is a new premium merger.
The pro forma is a billion

76
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,080
dollar company and they're going
to produce 160,000 ounces of

77
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,760
gold in 2025.
The tie up kind of catapults

78
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,480
them just from a production
perspective into a different,

79
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,600
completely different P set that
warrants kind of new eyeballs.

80
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Yeah, you know, they kind of
move out of the the category of

81
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,720
peers that are all, all in that
kind of subscale production when

82
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,920
you're doing your, you know, you
go producer peer comps.

83
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,120
So like there's a there's a
smaller scale production cohort

84
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,080
with like blackout maker, you
know, Bacon, Kingsgate, those

85
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,760
guys that don't get as much
attention and they'll they move

86
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,600
into that peer group.
It's like Bellevue, Ventura

87
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,000
Catalyst or Banda.
It's on, it's on.

88
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,160
It's honestly what their
performing production is.

89
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,840
It's going to be more than
Capricorn and Emerald, but

90
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,800
obviously different unit costs
and growth outlook.

91
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,480
So not, not visa fee, but I
just, I've just found it

92
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,240
interesting.
These are a bunch of small mines

93
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,240
that are in the portfolio.
Small mines are typically high

94
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,080
cost, high cost equals leverage.
So, you know, it's not like

95
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,080
it's, it's not a simple story.
It's definitely like, you know,

96
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,360
there's a lot of stuff going
around.

97
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,560
But, but I, I still find it
interesting that production

98
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,520
profile is, is it's now more
than respectable and to get like

99
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,200
a, a new premium deal over the
line.

100
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,160
I think it, it works for all
shareholders of both companies.

101
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,000
That's why I'm a fan of it.
I'm kind of curious if someone

102
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,960
tries to to to interlope in some
way now that Mandalay is, is

103
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,040
effectively in play without a, a
new like with a new premium in

104
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,840
this merger, someone could come
in if they wanted to, to pay a,

105
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,320
you know, a premium.
Yeah, OK, Lots of goldies want

106
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,880
growth, right?
And and here he's here.

107
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,440
He's here's something you don't
you don't need to pay too much

108
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,040
of A premium to get it it.
But you know, the the other side

109
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,760
of that argument of it being a
target for an intellect bro,

110
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,880
like this is a merger of
vehicles with with minimal

111
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,560
premium cross cross-border with
a bit of, you know, lagging and

112
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,680
currency risks.
So there's there's a fair bit

113
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,040
higher up the execution
difficulty difficulty curve for

114
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,840
someone to really try to get it
get in the way here.

115
00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:01,800
Warranty into like fascinating
and #2 you've got resolute

116
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,800
buying Cote d'ivo growth
projects from Anglo Gold

117
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,280
Ashanti, so a bit of a move away
from Mali.

118
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,760
Mali's Mali's been Mali's.
Been tricky for Resolute but

119
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,120
this one really caught my
attention yesterday.

120
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:14,920
It looks a a really interesting
deal.

121
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,920
So Resolute they've they've
purchased Anglo Gog's

122
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,200
development projects in Cote
d'Ivoire, namely Deropo and ABC

123
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,800
project.
They're only paying USA $150

124
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,120
million in staged payments.
There's a royalty on the earlier

125
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,360
stage 1 and a small, small
contingent in in addition, but

126
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,560
Deropa is the more advanced
project of of the two.

127
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,760
And this came into Anglo Gold's
portfolio via the acquisition of

128
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,240
Sentiment last year.
Sentiment's got that giant mine

129
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,760
in Egypt and this was the
development project that was

130
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,040
less interesting clearly to to
Anglo Gold.

131
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,360
What, what, what the DFS was
done on Deropo just last year in

132
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,160
2024, which showed 167,000 oz
production profile for 1010

133
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,280
years.
And the CapEx is it's like it's

134
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,120
decent CapEx right US $400
million.

135
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,840
But there's there's quite an
interesting project here to just

136
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,800
to my eyes and it doesn't scream
out of this world inexpensive

137
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,680
price to be to be paying for a
pretty respectable production

138
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,400
profile.
Yeah, fascinating.

139
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,320
Don't know.
What you thought of it, Al?

140
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,960
I actually, I just caught up on
it now, so I'm learning about it

141
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,480
just as we speak.
So no.

142
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,280
I think it's in a part of Cote
d'Ivoire that that, yeah, like

143
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:26,520
it's, I mean, Cote d'Ivoire is
one of the more attractive

144
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,960
countries to operate, but
there's variation in different

145
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,800
parts of the region.
I'm not quite sure if this is

146
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,000
the, you know, the simplest part
of Cote d'Ivoire to operate in.

147
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,360
However, on paper, like I'm
pretty interested in this deal

148
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,400
and I think it's a really
interesting move by by Resolute,

149
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,880
you'd you'd have imagined that
that like Anglo Gold would have

150
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,520
run a process to to sell this.
But the way that this came out,

151
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,640
there was like a swap of tenant
like resolutes tenements in

152
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,000
Guinea.
That was kind of part of it all.

153
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,640
It screamed a bit bilateral,
which if it was bilateral,

154
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200
that's a pretty cool outcome for
for Resolute, but you would have

155
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,320
imagined there was a process.
But anyway, I just find it

156
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,480
interesting.
Takes me to my third deal, Ally.

157
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,680
This is a very funny 1 I think.
Yeah.

158
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,600
So we're pivoting now to TIN.
Tin and Morocco.

159
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,640
So Atlantic tin is getting
acquired by Zhengy.

160
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,160
Inner Inner Mongolia, they're
called.

161
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,120
This is hilarious for a couple
of reasons.

162
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,920
Atlantic TIN is what became of
the old ASX listed Kasbar

163
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,160
resources for the people that
are rolled enough to to remember

164
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,560
Kasbar that was working on
developing A-Team project in in

165
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,840
Morocco.
And when when that stopped being

166
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,680
listed on the ASX and I'd have
to do my research to to

167
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,240
understand all the history there
effectively became majority

168
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,960
controlled by Parlor.
And now that there's a a deal in

169
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,120
place for the project to be sold
to Genie in in Mongolia for what

170
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,880
is a total equity value of
$98,000,000 cash, The

171
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,480
fascinating thing about the
announcement that's popped up,

172
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,480
it reveals the premium to last
traded price is a.

173
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,560
Last traded price was about five
years ago though. 1500% those

174
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,840
lucky Casbar shareholders who
maybe they, I know, I know some

175
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,600
of them are a bit grumpy, but
some of them probably thought

176
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,960
there's, there's, there's,
there's there's no light at the

177
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,480
end of the tunnel.
There's a yeah, I think, I think

178
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,200
some of them are still pretty,
pretty frustrated.

179
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,120
But regardless, that's a, that's
an astounding, an astounding

180
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,000
premium to ever say even though
that was five years.

181
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Ago.
Don't say that everyday you

182
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,120
don't.
Oh.

183
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,200
Love it #4 Ellie this.
Ever got?

184
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,840
This was Tabani, yeah.
The the, you know, African gold

185
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,320
developer, they, they announced
this financing from Eagle Eye

186
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,360
Asset Management.
They basically merged with a

187
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,200
strategic equity investment from
Eagle Eye of around $15 million

188
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,320
plus a non binding intention for
USA, $160 million debt facility

189
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,039
non binding.
So you can't take up a grain of

190
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:39,280
salt.
But regardless, it is

191
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,600
interesting because this family
office Eagle Eye Asset

192
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,520
management, they keep popping up
everywhere on African

193
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,680
Development.
What other?

194
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,960
What other projects are they?
Companies are getting involved.

195
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,680
Massive shareholder of Canyon,
massive, massive shareholder of,

196
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,360
of Prospect Resources.
And now, now to Barney.

197
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,720
But it's I, I talked about it on
the party the other day.

198
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,240
It's, it's this bit like family
office based in Singapore.

199
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,840
And while not explicitly stating
it's the family office of Gareth

200
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,200
Gupta, it appears to be Gareth
Gupta's family office.

201
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,600
Yeah, that, but you know, like
those three companies that, that

202
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,880
that's the spread of bauxite,
copper and gold in three

203
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,600
different African countries as
well.

204
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,680
So there's a lot of diversity to
what they're doing, but I'm kind

205
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:20,720
of interested in their strategy
and what they're doing and, and

206
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,360
why and the decisions they're
making.

207
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,200
So 11 I'm keeping an eye on.
And to Barney, they've had a

208
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,800
nice recovery after wearing a
lot of the collateral damage

209
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,840
from, you know, the drama that
that unfolded, especially in

210
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,080
relation to to resolute in in
Mali.

211
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,040
The share price is ticking back
towards kind of levels where it

212
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,840
saw in in November last year.
Yeah, it's pretty, pretty much

213
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,280
almost back there now.
So you know there'll be an

214
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,440
exciting one to watch.
And the fifth one Ally got gold

215
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,480
Rd. goldfields.
I I am oops on this front.

216
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,080
I don't, I don't know if I don't
know if I caused this, don't

217
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,240
know if it was if it was me, but
Friday morning our our daily

218
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,640
e-mail.
So this morning the director

219
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,680
special goes out 8:28 AM per
time, 9 minutes later, 8:37 AM

220
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:03,160
per time Gold Rd. pauses
trading.

221
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:06,960
How those things related.
I included a rumour in in our

222
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,960
daily e-mail, the director
special that Gold Rd. may have

223
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,280
received a best and final offer
from Goldfield's a few days ago.

224
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,080
And in Gold Rd's trading halt,
they reference, they reference

225
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,160
trading holders requested
following media speculation

226
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,520
regarding a potential change of
control transaction.

227
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,680
And the second point is that
they'll come out of trading halt

228
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,600
on or before market open on
Tuesday next week by provision

229
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,480
of an announcement to ASX
regarding the corporate

230
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,560
transaction.
I don't think there was any

231
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:37,440
other reporting on this rumour.
I'm not sure, I'm not sure how

232
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,160
to feel about this one.
But it looks like just the way

233
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,760
that they were.
It looks like there was

234
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,040
certainly some, some, some some
degree of truth to that rumour.

235
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,720
Because you would, you would
not, yeah, your strategy would

236
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,320
be different if it wasn't true
to this.

237
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,240
You kind of, you would just
rebut the market rumours.

238
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,120
If it was just something that
newsletter that was wrong, you

239
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,160
probably wouldn't even feel the
need to make an ASX

240
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,280
announcement, to be honest.
So I feel like if, if it was the

241
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,320
newsletter, my rumour, I don't
know how I feel about that one.

242
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,080
But regardless, the, it appears
there's actually a deal in

243
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,320
motion.
And, and you know, my, my base

244
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,440
case is I expect to see
revelation of what that deal is

245
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:17,320
whenever they come out of trade,
be it Monday or Tuesday.

246
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Yeah.
And if there is something sort

247
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,160
of seems to be coming along the
way, it's hopefully it's a great

248
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,960
outcome for for both sets of
shareholders.

249
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:29,000
So we'll have to wait and see.
Indeed, Ali, indeed, Speaking of

250
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,760
great outcomes for shareholders,
how about the how about the

251
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,320
companies that reported at like
7:00 PM on, on the 30th of

252
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,800
April, the quarterly report?
The old quarterly name and shame

253
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,000
segment.
So you're right Trevor is that

254
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,640
time of year again.
So for those who aren't super

255
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,080
familiar, mining companies like
non producers have to put out

256
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,040
their Appendix 5B, which is
basically their quarterly report

257
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,280
or no later than the last day of
the month following the

258
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,960
completion of reporting quarter.
So in this quarter's Case, No

259
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,320
later than the 30th of April for
the court ending 31st March.

260
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,720
And and naturally, you know,
there is a bunch of companies

261
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,760
that leave this quarterly
report, you know, to be released

262
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,760
on a six to the last day
possible.

263
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,120
But then there's also a a cohort
that leave it to the absolute

264
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,480
latest on the last day possible.
You know, aftermarket.

265
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,960
The, the thing that baffles me
is it there is no, it is not a

266
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,680
surprise or some sort of new
revelation that mining companies

267
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:36,920
have to report by a certain time
each quarter.

268
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:41,080
So I I don't understand why some
companies leave it so late.

269
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,880
Perhaps that's just life.
Doing what?

270
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,440
Ali I don't know, The repeat
offenders pop up time and time

271
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,800
again.
I actually think they're doing

272
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,440
it for the marketing now, like
maybe.

273
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:55,120
Who knows who knows, but let's
let's get into it.

274
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,320
Let's let's do I'm going to do a
a a rapid fire on on the top

275
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,120
five and the the next 5 after
they will get a special meeting.

276
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,440
All right.
I'll kick it off Ally. 7:16 PM

277
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,920
Vertex.
This was the the latest of all

278
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,360
of them $40 million market cap
Gold Co.

279
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,720
It looked like they've been
keeping busy at their reward

280
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,080
gold project in NSW, refurb
their 110,000 tonne per annum

281
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,880
Gecko gravity gold plant, plant
commissioning commenced and

282
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,800
they've started producing from
their stockpile.

283
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,680
Why did they report at the last
minute if they've got something

284
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:25,360
to update?
I'm confused.

285
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,560
They've actually commenced
underground mining development

286
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:29,480
at reward.
Interesting.

287
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:33,040
Yeah, so I would hope that they
are using some Sandvik Ground

288
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,160
support when they're doing the
underground development there at

289
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,480
Reward.
It's the only name you need to

290
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,880
know.
You can get a whole ground sport

291
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,120
kit and kaboodle sorted for you
by Derek, Kurt and the legendary

292
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,320
team at Sandvik Ground Support.
That is the absolute bare

293
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,000
minimum you need to be doing Ali
if you're underground mining and

294
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,240
if you're if you're bare minimum
you need to be doing is

295
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,000
reporting on time.
Bare minimum you need to be

296
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,720
doing is using DSI or Britain's
Sandvik ground support and

297
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,200
getting in touch with Derek
Kerr, the legendary team that is

298
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,440
there because they have split
sets, mesh, POSI box, NB, Xbox

299
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,120
dynamic support, static support
and heaps more.

300
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,400
Trav's even got the T-shirt on
today.

301
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,560
Have a flick around Travis.
Show the money miners what's on

302
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:17,000
the back of your shirt.
It says on there for the audio

303
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,480
views.
We keep people safe.

304
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,080
What more could you want?
I feel safe wearing it, Ali.

305
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,760
Keeping your ground and people
safe.

306
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,440
Go Sandy, go Sandy.
Actually I just, I just figured

307
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,400
out why they probably reported
at the very last minute Ali,

308
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,120
they're, they're gone mining
with only $1.4 million cash left

309
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,680
at the bank so.
Yeah.

310
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,960
So hopefully some of the,
hopefully some of the proceeds

311
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,880
from processing the stockpiles
can keep them going.

312
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,360
But yeah, it sounds like they've
been quite, quite busy.

313
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,240
Second one, this is a previous
offender last quarter, Anika

314
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,720
Tambang.
I hadn't really heard of this

315
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,600
company before.
They look like a big Indonesian

316
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,360
miner sort of producing and
processing a range of different

317
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,640
commodities.
It sort of appears like their

318
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,720
main listing is on the
Indonesian Stock Exchange and

319
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,480
they've got like some sort of a
smaller listing on ASX looks

320
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,600
like around like a 4 billion
market cap, Aussie dollar

321
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,240
equivalent.
So not the usual sort of, you

322
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,240
know, company we say in this
segment. 707 Alpha Minerals,

323
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,640
precious based metals mineral $5
million market cap, some

324
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,240
Brazilian expiration assets only
had 400K in the in the bank at

325
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,960
the 31st of March.
From the 31st of March onwards,

326
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,520
they've they've, they've,
they've done a letter of intent

327
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,800
with Pan American Silver Corp.
They've you know, they're doing

328
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,240
some doing some DD on that
asset.

329
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,840
They did a bit of an entitlement
off our and top up, but yeah,

330
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,080
just a just another just another
junior keeping busy updating,

331
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,800
updating shareholders, raising a
bit of money to keep the lights

332
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,680
on and reporting light.
Seven O 6 horseshoe medals, so

333
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,480
another exploration minnow about
11,000,000 market cap.

334
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,120
This is like the fourth time
they've been on this.

335
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,000
List, yeah, I think they've come
up a few times.

336
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,320
So they're focused on very
commencing development

337
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,280
activities at their Horseshoe
Lights Copper Gold project in

338
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,680
WA.
I signed a deal with Melody Gold

339
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,720
for the right to process certain
sort of gold surface materials

340
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,160
at Horseshoe.
They're continuing to pursue

341
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,520
early cash flow opportunities
from DSO, sales of existing

342
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,800
copper stockpiles and
discussions with copper con off

343
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,040
tech partners.
I sort of look through the last

344
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,200
few quarterlies that that's sort
of been mentioned in all last.

345
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,720
It seems to be going on for a
while basically.

346
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,240
What hasn't been going on for a
while is that that $4 million

347
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,880
con note that was I think that
was announced like aftermarket

348
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,520
on a Friday one week during the
quarter.

349
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,360
And it's a bit gnarly in my
opinion.

350
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,160
Yeah.
And then they are also doing a

351
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,680
strategic review of the Glenloth
Gold project in SA, which is

352
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,160

Resources Gold Explorer out in
the Paterson province of WA.

354
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,520
Name suggests it's all very
light on the news front.

355
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Only one project related
announcement in the six months,

356
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,200
which is a Geocam test test work
result last week.

357
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,640
Quarterly reports.
Pretty light on too.

358
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,440
What really matters here,
$2,000,000 in the bank, probably

359
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,040
way up a little late.
Special mentions Ali.

360
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,280

Get your reports in earlier next
time please, Companies I.

364
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:24,240
Think I did suggest last time a
carrier pigeon or I think I

365
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,760
provided a, a, a YouTube guide
link on how to set outlook

366
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,400
reminders so that I'm sure
there's a whole range and other

367
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,320
tools and that.
So try and try and improve a bit

368
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,360
better next quarter, guys.
I reckon, I reckon, I reckon the

369
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:41,400
call to action is, is very valid
and I'll, I'll be looking into

370
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,680
that carrier fridge and process
inside the next reporting

371
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,920
period.

372
