Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Great Divide Mining advances Challenger with gold offtake deal
Q: What stage are you at with the open cut and underground expansion, and what are the near-term production targets?
We are currently at about 50 percent throughput on the old plant, planning to ramp up to a couple hundred ounces per month initially, then increase to the nameplate 25,000 ounces per year as the open cut comes online and underground mining resumes.
Great Divide Mining advances Challenger with gold offtake deal
Q: There are some news out of Challenger. You've just secured a gold concentrate off-take agreement. Tell us a bit about that and what it means for the project.
The company is concentrating gold production into a saleable concentrate rather than refining ore on-site, which reduces processing costs, lowers environmental impact, and speeds up cash flow as production scales, supported by the off-take agreement with a Swiss-based trader for continuity of sales.
Green & Gold Minerals chases copper, gold and indium upside
Q: Do you know what the prices are for indium and other metals, and how does that affect your project economics?
Indium is priced around 0.80 USD per gram, with copper and silver trading at substantially higher values; the combination supports a favorable economics for district-scale exploration, especially given potential by-product credits and the ability to monetize Tin in the mix.
Perpetual Resources adds historic Nevada Tungsten Mine to portfolio
Q: Right. Now Julian, what do we need to know about Nevada Sheelite?
Julian explains that the Nevada Sheelite Tungsten Project is a transformational acquisition for Perpetual Resources, accelerating their move into a broader critical minerals platform with high-grade historic infrastructure, substantial drill inventory, and potential for rapid development due to patent claims that reduce permit bottlenecks.
Explorers Podcast: Australian Mines (ASX:AUZ)
Q: So what did this scoping study find?
It found a promising economics case with low capital intensity, favorable margins, and a post-tax NPV8 around US$850 million, supported by a mine plan based on high-confidence indicated and measured resources, suggesting the project is worth progressing to the next study stage.
