Dom Duggan took the CEO chair at Patriot Resources on 2 February and was made Managing Director part-way through the year. Six months in, he sits across a Peruvian silver deposit with a 31.4Moz Inferred resource and a conceptual exploration target roughly twenty times that size, a maiden copper discovery in Zambia drilled for about A$200 a metre, a new Copperbelt licence, and a fresh $3m raise. We go through what gets drilled first, where the money comes from, and the community agreement standing between Patriot and a rig at Tassa.

Discussed:

- What Dom found at Patriot that he didn't expect, and whether it's a silver company or a portfolio explorer after the April 2025 name change

- Staking Tassa 5 on 7 August, and why that ground was still available with Buenaventura, Teck, Barrick and Fresnillo all nearby

- The community agreement as the critical path to drilling

- Why Bear Creek and Teck both held this ground and neither drilled it out

- The 31.4Moz Inferred resource from 26 historical holes: orebody style and conversion likelihood

- The 559-774Moz AgEq exploration target, the rationale for publishing it, and how a number like that would rate regionally

- What sits inside 52.68 g/t AgEq: contained silver, and the silver and gold prices behind the equivalence

- The Bear Creek deal: US$3.5m over 30 months, US$500k paid, US$1m due at 18 months, US$1.5m at 30 months, and where that money comes from

- The 156 million Colque milestone shares against 293 million on issue, and how much drilling triggers the first Indicated tranche

- Zambia: 14 holes for 2,035 metres at roughly A$400,000, and whether ~A$200 a metre holds at scale

- Tonic - 1m at 2.56% copper versus broad intervals of 0.11% to 0.41% - and which number describes the deposit

- The Sinomine plant and smelter conversation, and whether Patriot's sediment-hosted ore fits an IOCG flowsheet with no metallurgical testwork done

- A 5.5km Tonic corridor and when a rig goes back

- The $500,000 Next Investors placement at 5 cents, a 28% premium, bundled with a 24-month IR and marketing agreement

- The two or three milestones shareholders should hold him to by this time next year, and plan B if the community agreement isn't signed by Christmas

Atomic Eagle Limited (ASX: AEU | OTCQX: AEUXF) has agreed terms on a new Mining Convention with the Republic of Niger, re-establishing its interest in the Madaouela Uranium Project — a 116.5Mlb U₃O₈ resource at 1,282ppm (foreign estimate) built on roughly 600,000 metres of historical drilling and feasibility-level studies. The deal ends a dispute that began with the project's 2024 expropriation from GoviEx and gives AEU a 60% interest and operational control through Nigerien subsidiary MAMICO, with the State holding 40%.

CEO Phil Hoskins joins us to unpack the transaction, what it means alongside the company's flagship 58.8Mlb JORC Muntanga Project in Zambia, and where the value gets unlocked from here.

Discussed in this episode:

- How the Madaouela deal came together — negotiating with the Government of Niger and resolving the arbitration inherited from the GoviEx/Tombador merger

- The commercial terms: 60/40 ownership, US$5M on permit issuance and US$5M at construction, the US$40M State equity credit, and the dilution framework

- Contractual protections that matter — legal and fiscal stabilisation, ICSID arbitration access, offshore banking, and 10-year renewable tenure

- Offtake and marketing clarity, including the Government's rights, the 50% cap and the 90-day deemed-approval mechanism

- Niger as a uranium jurisdiction — 50+ years of production, and neighbours including SOMAIR, COMINAK, Global Atomic's Dasa and Imouraren

- Who the players are on the ground and how the new administration approached the negotiation

- The resource breakdown — 96.9Mlbs Measured & Indicated at 1,275ppm and 19.6Mlbs Inferred at 1,330ppm

- The funding question — whether AEU needs to raise, and how staged payments and partnership options shape that answer

- Where the wins are at Madaouela: resource verification, mine planning optimisation, alternative development pathways and potential strategic partners

- Muntanga stays the flagship — 2026 drilling for scale, optimisation work, and updated feasibility targeted from 2027

- Upcoming newsflow and what investors should be watching over the next 12 months

Ken Hoffman called the lithium bottom before the market did. Ten months on, Chinese carbonate has gone from CNY 61,000 a tonne to CNY 148,000, copper has printed a record US$14,455, and the demand engine driving all of it — stationary storage — is one almost nobody had in their models three years ago.

What we covered:

- Why he called the lithium bottom early, and what was in the data everyone else skipped past

- Whether "chaos is the opportunity" still holds, or is now destroying more value than it creates

- Stationary storage overtaking EV batteries — does the crossover still happen this decade?

- China's two big policy moves on storage, and which one actually matters for lithium demand

- The Chinese "emergency order" for backup batteries — where that number comes from, and what's contracted

- Data-centre storage as a separate demand vector, or the industry double-counting the same megawatt-hours

- Where the next demand surprise comes from after storage

Lithium at CNY 148,000 — a pause in a bull market, or the front edge of the next supply response

- Bald Hill, Finniss and Jianxiawo restarting, and what's different from the 2023–25 glut

- Zimbabwe's export ban and whether the Indonesian nickel playbook transfers to lithium

- His own forecasting record, and the systematic bias in demand modelling

- Where new lithium supply gets built at US$18,000 a tonne without a government cheque

- Copper's record run, and the correction he called that never came

AI data centres versus Grasberg and El Teniente — narrative or genuine structural loss

- What a coherent US copper strategy would actually look like

- Rare earths and the US$110 NdPr price floor — who is absorbing the gap

- China's grip on refined NdPr and heavy rare earth separation, and what the West can realistically shift

- China's graphite and battery-equipment export controls, and what happens when the suspension expires in November

- Manganese, LMFP, and what has to happen for that thesis to pay (including his Firebird Metals advisory role)

- Why he's not a believer in sodium-ion, and what would change his mind

- The material with the strongest demand outlook and the thinnest pipeline

- Separating the West's mining problem from its refining problem

Leeuwin Metals (ASX: LM1) has grown the Marda Gold Project from an acquisition in March 2025 to a 378,600oz JORC resource sitting entirely on granted mining leases — all for a market capitalisation of around A$23 million. In the space of three weeks in June, Forrestania Resources (ASX: FRS) went from nothing to 10.37% of the register, timing part of that buying to its A$300m acquisition of the Edna May mill from Ramelius. Forrestania has said nothing publicly about why.

Executive Chairman Christopher Piggott joins us to talk through the resource upgrade and what sits behind the headline numbers, the two processing conversations running in parallel, the exploration pipeline at Red Boomerang, Deception Hill and Mt King, the balance sheet, and what he does and doesn't know about his new second-largest shareholder.

In this interview:

- Where Leeuwin sits sixteen months after acquiring Marda, and how close it is to being more than an explorer

- Why a 378,600oz resource on granted mining leases is being priced at roughly A$50 an enterprise value ounce

- Forrestania Resources moving from zero to 10.37% in three weeks — whether there have been any discussions with David Geraghty or the Forrestania board

- Forrestania's ~19.7c average entry price, and what a holder at that level means for any future equity raise

- Running the Bain and MEGA MOU alongside a shareholder who is buying a 2.9Mtpa mill down the road

- The dual-track strategy — standalone plant versus third-party milling — and whether a standalone build is genuinely on the table

- Unpacking the resource upgrade: a 36,300oz global increase versus the "Indicated up 41%, Evanston up 22%" headline

- Red Boomerang's historical intercepts — 66m @ 1.12 g/t and 12m @ 4.33 g/t including 1m @ 26.4 g/t — and why nobody has followed them up

- Runway: A$3.66m cash against A$1.31m of quarterly outgoings, and whether environmental studies, mine planning and Red Boomerang drilling are all funded

- Whether funding decisions are on hold pending clarity on Forrestania's intentions

- Selling West Pilbara iron ore, Cross Lake lithium and William Lake Ni-PGE

Nine months after listing at 25 cents, PC Gold (ASX: PC2) has an interim resource of 1.51moz at Spring Hill in the Northern Territory — an 84% increase in a single update. Chairman Ash Pattison joins us to go through what's actually in that resource, why the high-grade Link Zone has the market's attention, and how a 1.1 g/t deposit gets financed in a district where nobody else is building a plant. We also cover the idle Agnico Eagle mill 26km down the road, the Terracore acquisition, the royalty stack, a thin free float, and what lands between now and Christmas.

Covered in this interview:

- Spring Hill's history, the existing adits, and where the project sits in the Pine Creek district

- Open pit, underground, or takeover target — what Spring Hill is actually going to be

- Why publish an interim MRE in July rather than wait for the pre-Christmas update

- The resource by cut-off grade: 863,000oz at 1.9 g/t (1.0 g/t cut-off) versus 1.51Moz at 0.5 g/t, and what has to be mined

- The Link Zone: 1.12Mt at 5.37 g/t for 193,500oz — genuine second orebody or high-grade sweetener?

- The Chrysos Corporation collaboration on SDH26-005 — is a 500g photon assay under-calling in-situ grade?

- The ~45% grade uplift from photon assay versus fire assay, and what happens if sample size cuts the other way

- Agnico Eagle's idle 2.4Mtpa Union Reefs CIL plant, 26km away — and why the base case is a new standalone 3Mtpa plant

- Whether PC Gold has approached Agnico, and what came back

Ex-Agnico and ex-Vista hires — Sean Church, Peter Harris — and what they say is different about Spring Hill

- The Terracore Gold acquisition

- Permitting: what's already approved, and how big a variation a standalone plant and TSF actually is

- Re-opening the 427m adit — when a rig gets underground and what that platform opens up

- A$21.7m cash, A$4m quarterly burn, four rigs, 20,000m of RC — the runway

- Three stacked royalties: the Rivi 5% NSR, the buy-back cost and timing, Franco-Nevada/Carthew

- The newsflow calendar to Christmas — and which catalyst actually re-rates the stock

Rhod Grivas has spent 35 years in Western Australian gold and was involved in the discovery of Rubicon, Hornet and Pegasus at Kundana — a camp that has yielded more than five million ounces. So why is he now chairman of Golden Dragon Mining (ASX:GDR), a company that listed last October at 20 cents with a market capitalisation under $9 million?

In this conversation, Rhod walks through what he saw at the Cue Gold Project that made him take the seat, and what has to happen next for the market to take notice.

WHAT WE COVER

- Why a Kundana discovery veteran took the chair at a sub-$9M explorer

- 613km² in the Murchison — is scale an asset, or just more ground to fund?

- 50km of mineralised shear, and how you choose where to point the rig

- 1.5km from Westgold's 2.3Moz Big Bell mine — what that's actually worth

- Coodardy: 12m @ 6.5g/t incl 4m @ 17.6g/t — real shoot or lucky holes?

- Shallow, oxide, open in every direction — the road to a maiden resource

- Behring Bore: why the "camp-scale" target beats the better grades

- 827 auger holes, two anomalies over 3km

- Why arsenic and antimony matter more than the gold numbers

- Chengtun Gold: $2.2M at a 17.6% premium for just under 20%

- The board seat, the standstill, and the FIRB hedge in the fine print

- How many months of drilling the cash actually buys

- Heritage clearances, native title, and when a rig hits new ground

- Next assays, upcoming newsflow, and what success looks like in 12 months

Power Minerals Limited (ASX: PNN) has delivered exceptional high-grade rare earth results from the first hole of its maiden drilling program at the Morro do Ferro Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

CEO Alistair Stephens joins us to unpack the numbers, what they mean for the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate targeted before year-end, and why an unexpected gallium intersection could reshape the project's economics.

WHAT WE COVER

- The scale of the first-hole result and how it stacks up against Mt Weld and Mountain Pass

- The bastnasite-rich mineralogy behind a potential premium magnet rare earth product

- What high-grade gallium to end-of-hole means for future project economics

- Ramping up to two rigs and two shifts, with a third rig set to commence

- The path to a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate before the end of 2026

- What shareholders should watch for next as assays continue to flow

Fenix Resources (ASX: FEX) just shipped the biggest quarter in its history — 1.3 million tonnes in June, exiting the year above 5Mtpa annualised. The share price has gone the other way. Chairman John Welborn returns to explain why, and what happens next.

We last spoke in April, when a cyclone had just hit the Pilbara, diesel was blowing out and the stock was at A$0.33. Since then: record tonnes, a full-year C1 of A$73.7/t at the bottom of the guided band, W10 approvals landed on 20 July, and US$44 million of new funding signed against a A$300 million gap.

John doesn't dodge the hard parts. We go through the June quarter C1 of A$79.9/t, the fuel excise relief that expires next Monday with only 30% of diesel hedged, freight running from A$23 to A$32 a tonne in a single quarter, and A$294 million of half-year revenue that produced A$9.7 million of profit. Production has tripled since FY24. Margin hasn't followed.

Then the build. Weld Range and the Beebyn Hub — first blast this quarter, first ore on a ship in December, W11 doubling to 3Mtpa, and the 244km haul road that is supposed to drag C1 into the fifties. Plus the Wajarri Yamaji Deed of Covenant, the Sinosteel payments, the fleet capex, and whether a dividend survives a capital program that size against A$81 million of cash.

WHAT WE COVER

- Why a record quarter hasn't translated into a share price

- What actually changed between 974,000t in March and 1.3Mt in June

- FY27 guidance at a 5.0Mt midpoint — conservative, or capped?

- C1 costs, diesel at A$2.45, and the 70% that isn't hedged

- Freight economics and the Mira Bulk Freight partnership

- Revenue up, profit down — what tonnage makes this a margin business

- Weld Range: W10 approvals, first ore on ship, and the sequence to December

- The Wajarri Yamaji Deed of Covenant and what "legally clear to mine" means

- The 244km haul road — DFS scope, and who pays

- Funding A$500m without raising equity: does the vision still stand?

- Franking credits, last year's dividend, and whether it repeats

- The 61% Fe benchmark, the lump premium, and what grade is worth

- Chinese steel demand, and what customers are saying about FY27

- CMRG, yuan-priced indices, and where Fenix sits

Techgen Metals (ASX:TG1) is about to put a drill bit into ground that has never been drilled — despite rock chips grading up to 52.3% copper and 5.35g/t gold at surface.

Managing Director Ashley Hood joins us to walk through the maiden diamond drilling program at the Blue Devil Copper-Gold Project in WA's Kimberley, why earlier explorers walked past it, and what modern geophysics revealed that changed TechGen's conviction.

We cover the two targets — the 2.75km-long airborne EM conductor at Blue Devil sitting ~200m deep, and the strong IP chargeability anomaly and copper gossans at Red Devil — plus what a "success" actually looks like at each, and how representative those headline grab-sample grades really are of what's at depth.

Ashley also addresses the harder questions: whether two holes can properly test targets of this scale, the deposit models on the table (porphyry Cu-Au, IOCG, intrusion-related gold, skarn), the recently oversubscribed A$2.7M placement at 1.6c with free attaching options, and whether a ~A$12M market cap company can genuinely fund five drilling programs across three states.

BOA Resources (ASX: BOA) has moved fast — from a 49% exploration interest in the Neds Creek copper play to acquiring 100% of Core Value Australia plus the Thaduna and Green Dragon deposits from Sandfire Resources.

In this interview, newly appointed Managing Director Graeme Purcell walks us through the transformation: how the deal came together, why Sandfire now sits on the register as a ~6.2% shareholder, what the 5.3Mt @ 2.3% Cu (121kt contained copper) resource really represents, and the drill program that kicks off in Q3 2026.

We cover the leadership transition, the acquisition history, transaction structure, the historical mining at Thaduna and Green Dragon, six priority drill targets led by Ricci Lee, the debate over whether the region can deliver "another DeGrussa," tenement and Mining Lease status, funding, and the catalysts to watch through 2026 and into 2027.
