  • 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: 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.
Explorers Podcast: Litchfield Minerals (ASX:LMS)
Q: You did report this week a drilling program of RC and diamond holes; what were you testing there?
We tested both a magnetic anomaly and the main carbonate replacement zone, plus VT conductors, with a view to understanding lateral extensions and high-grade shells, while continuing to gather data as assays come in.
Explorers Podcast: Bindi Metals (ASX:BIM)
Q: What about the drilling program and when can investors expect maiden results?
The team is working through regulatory approvals and land access, with drilling potentially starting in mid-May, and the maiden program planned at roughly 2,000 meters with latest results anticipated in the early to mid-year window, followed by assay results.
Explorers Podcast: Bindi Metals (ASX:BIM)
Q: Is there historic mining on the Ravni block and how are you approaching it now?
There are workings on the ground but no formal systematic mining historically. We are applying a systematic exploration approach across the whole 30 square kilometer land package to properly test multiple zones rather than relying on scattered historic data.
Explorers Podcast: Bindi Metals (ASX:BIM)
Q: Tell us about the acquisition of the Ravni project, when it was bought and on what basis you picked it up.
The Ravni project was acquired last October and the team has since moved quickly to build a robust data set, including mapping, sampling, and geochemistry, so drilling targets are well-informed rather than random. This multi-zone system across a broad footprint increases the chances of identifying meaningful mineralization.
