Episode notes
INSIGHT

Historic Resource With Clear Upside

  • Springer hosts a historic 2012 Tetra Tech resource and every borehole showed mineralization left open at depth and along strike.
  • Kerem sees substantial upside because drilling stopped under ~200m and mineralization begins at surface.
INSIGHT

Light REEs With Valuable Heavy Component

  • The deposit is predominantly light REEs but contains meaningful heavies that add value to the basket.
  • Kerem cites about 21% payables in basket value and roughly 5% heavies reported in historic data.
INSIGHT

Near-Continuous High-Width Drill Result

  • Recent drilling returned continuous mineralization, with one hole ~439m at ~1% TREO and higher-grade intervals.
  • Kerem emphasizes holes went deeper than planned and showed consistent mineralization outside the historic shell.
