Coffee with Samso: OD6 Metals Limited — An Aspiring Australian Clay REE Story - Better Position Second Time Around
Coffee with Samso
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...

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 - An Emerging Gold Mining Story | Horizon Minerals Limited (ASX : HRZ)
Coffee with Samso
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
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 ?

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 - Miramar Resources Limited (ASX:M2R) - A Perfectly Valued Gold Story - The Gidji Gold Project and the Path to being a Gold Mining Business.
Coffee with Samso
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 202 brings retail investors into an ASX company that may have the potential to become a multi-bagger investment.
The LCL Resource Limited (ASX:LCL) story is one that will resonate with many retail small cap investors. A low market capitalisation of AUD $10M and an inferred gold resource of 831,000 ounces in a booming gold market where drilling results are being rewarded.
LCL is not a stranger to the Samso platform, with "Los Cerros Limited (ASX: LCL) - A High-Grade Gold Porphyry Story in Colombia" published on 29th October 2021 and a Samso Insight written and published on 15th February 2022 entitled "Good Geology Never Disappoints - Los Cerros Limited (ASX: LCL) Colombian Style."
The story changed to a Papua New Guinea focus recently, and on 25th November 2022, LCl released "Company acquires multiple PNG copper, nickel, gold targets" which was the entry into Papua New Guinea.
Management Change
Management and Board changes (Board Changes) within the company will bring much needed youth and energy into the LCL Resources, which, in my opinion, is why I am having a conversation on Coffee with Samso with Christopher Van Wijk, the Executive Chair of the company.
LCL was in a transaction to sell the Columbian assets but as I have realised, that resolution was voted down by shareholders. Whether this decision in hindsight turns out to be the correct decision will be known soon. Could it be sold to a higher bidder as the gold sentiment rise will be something to ponder about at that time. What is more interesting for me is the current direction for the company with new management.
The Project
The Kusi project is a good start for the company with the inferred resource of 831,000 ounces of gold. The future of the project sounds like there are a lot of positives. Papua New Guinea is a haven for projects that are company makers. There are multi-million ounces of gold in the region that will be nectar to honey for LCL Resources.
Coffee with Samso
This is one of those conversations where I learnt a lot about my guest and the company story. Christopher Van Wijk gave me the impression that he has come into LCl with a mission to take this AUD $10M market cap to greater heights. His energy and the, as a matter of fact, tone of discussion give me confidence they have the right jockey.
The next question is what the horse is like, and the rest of the team is able to do with the current project. As a matter of funding, I think that the fact that there are high-net-worth individuals backing this vehicle is a very good addition to the story.
