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.

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 respective discovery event, and was declined, was WA1 Resources Limited, De Grey Mining Limited, Staveley Minerals Limited.
I have been a firm believer that the Miramar projects were great projects and with great management, in terms of the potential for discovery and a history of taking the economical discovery to production. Allan Kelly had the history and having numerous discussion with him, I felt that he had the mentality to do that with existing projects.
What unsettled the journey was the lack of market sentiment and with the strong market affinity for lithium and the critical minerals; narrative, the gold journey was unsettled and in many cases, great project looked doomed. A great example is the journey of Meeka Metals Limited. Meeka has just poured its first gold bar and its future looks cemented, now with a market capitalisation of AUD $422M.
Listed on the ASX with great projects but in the midst of the lithium run which was followed by the great Critical Mineral rush, the company lost an audience and now with gold price taking centre stage, the stage seems set for that journey of discovery something of economical proportions at Gidji.
The Business of Miramar Resources Limited - The Path to being a Gold Mining Business.
To me, the business of Miramar Resources is now aligned with the market sentiment. The new shareholders may have a different idea for the leadership but I think as a business, Allan Kelly is built for this role. One of the best asset for Miramar is that it is managed well with a strong technical management and keeps the cash burn to a minimal. You don't see many Executive Chair sitting on the drill rig or going out to do reconnaissance sampling and doing prospective type work in the field.
Senior management doing the technical work in the field is an extremely rare sight in todays' ASX mineral exploration companies. The value proposition for shareholders has never been more aligned with the potential of a discovery of a gold asset in the backyard of the Kalgoorlie Goldfields. I feel that the strong gold market will easily give Miramar the uplift in valuation if and when a discovery of significance occur.
The Coffee with Samso Discussion:
In this episode of Coffee with Samso, it is a very clear discussion of the value proposition for the company. Allan gives us a good narrative of the mechanics behind the exploration and what the company faced over the last 4 years as the equity market heavily discounted the market capitalisation of Miramar Resources. Shareholders and potential shareholders will gain insights that will shape their thinking for investing in the company.
Whatever you may think about the past, what is very clear is that you have now a company that has a market capitalisation below AUD $3M, in a gold market bull, prospective gold project with all the right factors and a proven management team to bring in a potential discovery. If you take away the emotions of why you should be looking at the company as an investment, you cannot deny the fact that Miramar is very fortunate to be gifted these attributes and with perfect market timing.
My advice, sit back, listen to Allan and DYOR. Grab your favourite beverage and invest in the next 45 minutes.
