How does Patriot Battery Metal’s Maiden Resource Stack Up?

Last day of quarterly season! We kick things off with the big one, Patriot Battery Metals (PMT.asx) announcing their maiden resource estimate. 109.2Mt @ 1.4 % and plenty to talk about.  Next up is a brief chat about quiet achievers Emerald Resources (EMR.asx) who are looking to wrap up Bullseye Mining. A bit of global news followed, with iron ore giant Vale (VALE.nyse) selling off 13% of their base metals unit to a fascinating pair of investors.  Silver Lake (SLR.asx) announced a guidance number that the market didn’t take a liking to, thanks to Sugar Zone being turned off (at least that was our translation). To tie things off we go into the capital raise and operational update at mineral sands play Strandline (STA.asx), who have hit a snag while ramping up Coburn.  All Money of Mine episodes are for informational purposes only and may contain forward-looking statements that may not eventuate.

Who’s Passing & Who’s Failing this Quarterly Season?

It’s a full episode today deep into quarterly season!  We kick things off with more details on the tough Panoramic (PAN.asx) equity raising… Not a good time for a nickel player to have to raise. The mood lightens somewhat discussing a resource upgrade at Manna, Global Lithium’s (GL1.asx) flagship project.  From Develop’s (DVP.asx) quarterly the main talking point was that they are no longer interested in tendering for the mining services contract at Liontown’s Kathleen Valley. Then, a quick mention on Albemarle’s (ALB.nyse) decision to use Monadelphous (MND.asx) for constructions of trains 3 & 4 at Kemerton.  It was then onto some of the gold names, first up Bellevue (BGL.asx), who’ve drawn down on the debt which has had us talking lately, then RED 5 (RED.asx), who had a solid quarterly at King of the Hills.  Perseus (PRU.asx) might be pick of the bunch as they announced a US$522m pile of cash on the balance sheet.  We couldn’t help but round out with Metals X (MLX.asx), undoubtably one of the most intriguing names on the ASX. Trav even does his best Bill Ackman impersonation, trying his hand at good ol’ fashioned shareholder activism!  Thank you to our Partners at Anytime Exploration Services.

The Miner that Makes Money vs Miners that Lose Money

We unpack the highs and lows (mostly lows) for the quarterly reports released in the last couple of days. Pilbara Minerals (PLS.asx) is the stand-out (as per usual) adding a further $656m of cash to the balance sheet. On the other end of the spectrum, Panoramic (PAN.asx), 29 Metals (29M.asx), Galena (G1A.asx) and Ora Banda (OBM.asx) are all losing money on their operations. We discussed where all those companies are sitting in terms of funds, capital raises and debt-facility drawdowns. Of keen interest to the Money of Mine team, Sayona (SYA.asx) saw some Director’s sell shares on market. Encounter (ENR.asx) have also put their hat in the ring for the West Arunta Niobium chase, releasing 2 holes confirming the presence of the enigmatic mineral. Will WA1 get pipped from 1st place in the West Arunta? All Money of Mine episodes are for informational purposes only and may contain forward-looking statements that may not eventuate.

Core Lithium Vindicates Shorts While Gascoyne Doubles Never Never Resource

Another jam-packed episode with news from plenty of commodities & jurisdictions!  We start off with South 32 (S32.asx) announcing a write-down of their Hermosa asset, doing their best to one-up IGO’s write-down last week. SolGold’s (SOLG.lse) agreement with the government of Ecuador to develop their huge Cascabel project then gets a breakdown, with some added history of Matty.  Coming closer to home, we run through MinRes’ (MIN.asx) release from late last week, stating that they’ve once again rejigged their deal with Albemarle (ALB.nyse), with regard to Kemerton, China downstream & Wodgina.  Next on the list is Bald Hill, owned by Alita Resources, who fell into administration almost 4 years ago. This one’s a fascinating story, with FIRB rejection of Austroid’s ownership attempt just the latest twist.  We then tuck into Gascoyne Resources (GCY.asx) resource upgrade, more than doubling the size of the Never Never deposit and notching up the grade to over 5g/t.  To round off, we delve into the quarterly report that Core Lithium (CXO.asx) provided the market. This is the 2nd most shorted stock on the ASX, so naturally it was of interest. We pulled back the curtain to see what the shorts were looking for, & whether they’ve been vindicated.  All Money of Mine episodes are for informational purposes only and may contain forward-looking statements that may not eventuate.
