Coffee with Samso | Episode 213 | London - UK, Perth - Western Australia. Guest: Oliver Friesen – CEo & Executive Director, Guardian Metals Resources Plc (LON: GMET - OTCAX: GMTLF) Introduction In this episode of Coffee with Samso, I speak with Oliver Frieson, the CEO and Executive Director of Guardian Metals Resources PLC, about one of the most compelling but under-discussed metals in the global supply chain — tungsten.

Introduction In this episode of Coffee with Samso, we reconnect with Brett Hazelden, Managing Director of OD6 Metals, to explore how the company is navigating two of the most intriguing thematic opportunities in the market today — rare earth elements (REEs) and copper. OD6 was first introduced to the Samso audience in a very different market — rare earth sentiment was hot, clay-hosted projects were flooding the ASX, and recovery pathways were still largely unproven. Fast-forward to 2025, and the game has changed. The company’s flagship Splinter Rock project in Western...

Coffee with Samso | Episode 212 | UWA Club, Crawley, Western Australia. Guest: Darren Cooke – CEO, FireFly Metals Ltd (ASX: FFM) Introduction In this episode of Coffee with Samso, we continue our Exploration Discovery Series with one of the most fascinating stories to come out of Western Australia’s goldfields — the Pegasus gold discovery. This story is special. Not because Pegasus was a greenfields success, but precisely because it wasn’t. It was hiding in plain sight — within the Swiss cheese of decades of drilling in the Kundana gold camp. In 2014, Pegasus was...

Coffee with Samso | Episode 209 | UWA Club, Crawley, Western Australia In this latest episode of Coffee with Samso, I reconnect with exploration legend Jon Hronsky to unpack one of the most significant emerging geological stories in Australia: the Westrunter carbonatite province.

In this episode of Coffee with Samso, we sat down with Dustin Haines, the newly appointed CEO of Echo IQ Limited (ASX: EIQ), to unpack the company’s transformative AI-based technology for cardiovascular diagnosis. While the format shifted to Zoom to accommodate Dustin’s base in the United States, the conversation was no less in-depth as we explored how Echo IQ is aiming to solve one of the most pressing challenges in cardiovascular medicine—misdiagnosis. With a 50% misdiagnosis rate in conditions like heart failure, Echo IQ’s FDA-cleared AI solution could become a...

Coffee with Samso Episode 207 is all about a company that is feeling left behind in the midst of a unprecedented gold price rush. Gold miners, the producing companies on the ASX, are all buoyant and experiencing an emotional high on valuation. Shareholders are in a state of euphoria but in the rush, there are always some hidden value. The hidden value that is typically brushed aside by the juggernaut of cash producing gold miners speeding past the sights of investors. The big question that this episode of Coffee With Samso is addressing is whether Horizon Minerals Limited is that hidden...

Coffee with Samso Episode 206 is about how we understand and interact with AI. We all know what Artificial Intelligence is about but do we really know ? Are we just taking it for granted what we actually know and is it sufficient to just take what people say about about what AI will do for or to us in the coming years. After a short break to launch Samso News — our new platform blending ASX announcements with the signature Samso blog style — we’re diving headfirst into the evolving world of artificial intelligence. In this deeply engaging episode of Coffee with Samso, we are...

Coffee with Samso Episode 205 is all Miramar Resources Limited (ASX:M2R) and the potential of the Gidji and Bangemall projects. Miramar as a company, is now for better or worst, perfectly valued at less than AUD 3M market capitalisation. Its primmed now for discovery. The Miramar story has been featured on the Samso platform since February 2021 and I still consider this exploration company one that is best suited for discovery. The most notable companies that I can remember as I write which I felt strongly about a discovery, and was approached to be on a Coffee with Samso, prior to their...
info_outlineCoffee with Samso Episode 197 is with Sam Pazuki, the Managing Director and CEO of AuMega Metals Limited (ASX: AAM)
The AuMega Metals Limited (previously known as Matador Mining Limited) story has come a long way since our first conversation in April 2020. The developing story is now moving into the next phase as the 2024 field season is beginning.
In this episode of Coffee with Samso Episode 197, Sam share with us the philosophy of the company and the strategy for AuMega Metals and the reasoning behind the rebranding exercise. AuMega is well supported with an international miner, B2Gold Corp. as a major shareholder and that clearly show the confidence the shareholders have in the AuMega Metals Limited story.
Samso's Conclusion
For those readers who have been followers of the Coffee with Samso series, it is common knowledge that I am a big fan of the AuMega story (formerly Matador Mining Limited). I have always said that the biggest value adding process for shareholders is to look for your own discovery. Promoters in this space preach that the refurbishing of projects is more cost effective but in practice this is more of a myth that a reality.
The strategy by the management of AuMega is disciplined and with the stewardship of Justin Osborne (ex- Gold Road Resources) leading the technical search and the corporate influenced Sam Pazuki, I am in no doubt that the mineral exploration will prove their strategy to be fruitful.
The rebranding is clearly a means of aligning the company name with its purpose for finding large economical deposits. The projects that is in the portfolio is the reason why "Mega" projects will be discovered. This is what I call a mineral province play to ensure the largest probability to discover economical deposit.
As the new drilling season starts to take shape, the next phase of the results will be highly anticipated from the company's shareholders. With B2 Gold as a shareholder, one has to recognised that B2Gold is not here for a slim chance of discovery. The positioning is well thought and the target company is selected for its vast portfolio.
Tune in and start putting your thinking cap on and do some good old fashion DYOR.
