Coffee with Samso Episode 207 is all about a company that is feeling left behind in the midst of a unprecedented gold price rush.

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...

Coffee with Samso - Wide Open Agriculture Limited (ASX:WOA) - A Superfood Story—Lupin and Lupin Protein Isolate.
Coffee with Samso
Coffee with Samso Episode 204 is all about Lupins and Lupin Protein Isolate. Coupled with the favourable growing climate in Western Australia, could become a major player in a billion-dollar market. The Wide Open Agriculture came across my screen about two weeks ago, and it caught my attention because I was doing content on superfoods and came across the benefits of lupins in 2019. While I was doing research over time, the share price of the company started to move, and in fact, on the day I was talking to Yazi Zhan, the Non Executive Chair of WOA, about making an appearance on Coffee...

The is about the pedigree of the Iron Bear magnetite project. In Australia, the general ASX punter thinks of iron ore as haematite are greater than 62% Fe, but there is a new sheriff in town and he is called Magnetite. Where can you find a mineral resource business that is owned by a small cap junior with a market capitalisation of less than AUD $50M that has funding all the way through to mining and processing the high-grade...

Coffee with Samso - A Gold Mining Story: Clasping Victory from the Jaws of Defeat.
Coffee with Samso
Coffee with Samso Episode 200 is a David and Goliath story that could be a second chance for those investors who felt they missed out on past opportunities. The Greatland Gold Plc (AIM: GGP) is the classic case of the need to understand the content of management and the technical aspects of a mineral resource project. Like all investment partitioners, their main challenge is hearing fellow participants overlook the essential elements of comprehending and applying the principles of First Principal's business. I have been in the industry since 1992, and over the past three decades, I've...

Coffee with Samso - Insights: Critical Metals - The Real Meaning and Path Australia should play in the Clean Energy Revolution.
Coffee with Samso
Coffee with Samso Episode 199 is all about the meaning of Critical Minerals for Australia. Are we spending the right amount of money? The low-emission world loves these two words and in resource-rich Australia where we are world leaders in supplying the feedstock for the world, are we sheep or should we start to be smarter with our fund allocation? Should we play our own game and be one controlling the weather and be smart with our resources? Should we be asking, are all metals critical and who are the beneficiaries of the critical nature of these metals? Should Australia be a more...

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.
