  • Sweden's 24% graphite reserve could unlock Talga's US expansion
    ASX small-cap Talga Group (TLG.ASX) sits at the crossroads of graphite supply, battery materials and next-gen manufacturing technology. In this quick analysis, James Whelan from smallcatch sits down with Mark Thompson to unpack what Talga does, why Sweden matters and what the US expansion could mean for investors.
    What Talga does
    Talga makes battery materials and battery‑making technology, specialising in graphite—the largest volume mineral in a battery. The company highlights a very high grade graphite project in Sweden, with a reserve around 24%. The discussion also covers how Talga uses this graphite—through watching drill cores and passing current through the material—to produce high‑performance battery materials from graphite flakes.
    Sweden project and US expansion
    We chat about the Sweden deposit and how Talga plans to scale into the USA, outlining potential milestones and what investors should watch next.
    Why it matters
    For investors, Talga sits at the interface of graphite supply and next‑gen battery tech, with a story that could influence supply chains and pricing in the coming years.

  • CMG.ASX: Linfield Vanadium Pit-to-Battery Strategy & PFS Update
    In this ASX small-cap analysis, James Whelan sits down with Scott Winter, Managing Director and CEO of Critical Minerals Group (CMG.ASX), to unpack CMG’s Linfield-Vanadium project in Queensland and its pit-to-battery strategy for grid-scale energy storage. The discussion covers building a full supply chain from vanadium ore to electrolyte, the upcoming pre-feasibility study (PFS), and how a strong partner in Iremitsu supports governance, funding, and market access.
    What CMG is doing: The company is rooted in vanadium with a focus on flow batteries for long-duration storage. The plan is to create a complete supply chain—from mine production of vanadium pentoxide to the active material, vanadium electrolyte, and downstream customers—delivering energy solutions domestically and internationally. Aiming for 99.5% vanadium pentoxide purity for battery-grade electrolyte, CMG targets secure off-take agreements with dry battery suppliers and partners such as Sumitomo, Invinity, and Cellcube H2.
    Milestones and technical progress: CMG has bench-scale testing underway to optimise the process and has piloted the flowsheet to better reflect commercial conditions. The PFS will cover mine development and the electrolyte plant to utilise pentoxide at the required scale. The company has completed a power solution and secured good water access, while infrastructural considerations and site selection (Linfield near Julia Creek) support a robust project plan. Next year’s milestones include delivering the PFS and advancing grid-storage tenders and partnerships.
    Partnerships and funding: Iremitsu has provided strategic backing, governance, and access to networks that can accelerate market deployment. A 2.7 million grant from government funding is being deployed to fast-track the domestic end-to-end supply chain—supporting bulk sampling, EIS work, environmental and water studies, and connectivity to facilities like the QR cuff facility in Townsville.
    Market outlook and demand: Domestic tenders such as South Australia’s 700 MW of eight-hour-plus storage and the NSW El-Tesa scheme illustrate strong appetite for long-duration storage. International interest is growing with conversations in the US, UK and Europe. Vanadium electrolyte plays a critical role in longer-duration storage, complementing lithium systems and enabling reliable night-time grid support.
    Competitive advantages: Linfield’s near-town location, mineralised weathered material at shallow depths (0–20 m), and proximity to rail and road infrastructure support easier mining and logistics. The Linfield resource, plus three other tenements, creates a strategic footprint in an area with strong regulatory applicability and water access.
    Next catalysts: The PFS release in early next year will be a key milestone, alongside ongoing discussions with potential offtake partners and government bodies. The team is also exploring electrolyte plant designs at 10-20 MW scale to meet rising demand as opportunities mature.
    Final thoughts: The CMG team is energised by the opportunity to link a local, end-to-end supply chain with grid-scale storage needs, backed by a capable strategic partner and supportive funding. There’s a positive momentum across milestones, market interest, and policy alignment that could underpin real value in the near term.

  • GGR.ASX Listing: What’s next for Golden Globe Resources?
    Golden Globe Resources (GGR.ASX) has just listed on the ASX, and this video offers a fresh, easy-to-digest analysis of what the listing means for investors. James Whelan sits down with Colin (head of the company) and Ray (board member) at the Exchange Place in Sydney to unpack the milestone, the near-term drilling plan, and what comes next as the company moves from exploration toward production. Expect insights into the listing journey, the role of advisers, and the resilience of shareholders who kept the project alive for seven years. We reference the interview line 'Hope is not a strategy' to frame a pragmatic approach to milestones rather than relying on optimism alone.
