He is a geologist's geologist — one who understood the rocks, trusted the science, and applied a methodology that was, at the time, genuinely groundbreaking in this part of the world. At 1.2 million ounces of gold,...

In this episode of Coffee with Samso, I had the opportunity to sit down with Lachlan Wallace, Managing Director of Investigator Silver Limited, to discuss what I would call a very timely story in the current commodities cycle.
Silver has always been one of those metals that sits quietly in the background—until it doesn’t. When it moves, it tends to move quickly, and often, the market is not fully prepared for what that means.
What this conversation highlighted for me is not just the rising silver price, but how that price fundamentally changes the viability of projects like the Paris Silver Project in South Australia.
