  • Investing podcast done well

    I’ve listened to a lot of boring investing podcasts for asx companies, this one is not. The interviews are interesting and it’s nice to hear the ceos challenged occasionally.

  • Listen on my morning commute, interesting

    I’ve been a Stockead newsletter subscriber for a while, saw this and though I should give it a listen. I think it’s pretty good, not too long and very informative guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Explorers Podcast: West Cobar Metals (ASX:WC1)
Q: And so Buller Park region area, was this a discovery by the company or are you following up work done historically in that part of the world?
The lead anomaly was originally identified by BHP during trenching work, with subsequent drilling by Thompson Resources and Sanfire helping define a large underlying system; West Cobar Metals has advanced and drilled it further, turning historical hints into a defined, drill-ready project.
Explorers Podcast: West Cobar Metals (ASX:WC1)
Q: You've also got an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate there of 20 million tonnes, and an exploration target, at least double that. So tell us what's the unfolding story at Buller Park.
Buller Park is a large, multi-commodity system with a defined starter resource and significant potential to grow through further drilling, gravity data definitions, and regional exploration; the tetrahedrite-rich system supports copper, antimony, and silver potential, with plan to expand resources and define economic parameters via MEP processing.
Explorers Podcast: Pioneer Minerals (ASX:PMM)
Q: What did your preliminary work on the Springfield tailings tell you about potential early cash flow?
The tailings grade improved from 0.1-0.2% to around 3.2% after simple beneficiation, suggesting potential when integrated into a broader processing flow, but the immediate focus remains on advancing Springfield and evaluating larger-scale opportunities.
Explorers Podcast: Investigator Silver (ASX:IVR)
Q: When do you expect First Silver production to start and what's the timeline to production?
First Silver production is targeted for the end of calendar year 2028 after permitting and a roughly two-year build post-FID, with acceleration possible through early long-lead item commitments.
Explorers Podcast: Investigator Silver (ASX:IVR)
Q: Tell us some of the key findings of the DFS.
The DFS shows a financially robust project with a pre-tax NPV around $1.2 billion, IRR near 93%, and an 11-month payback at current silver prices, plus healthy economics under a $60/oz scenario.
