Phil Carroll and Kevin Hornsby Welcome Ruper Verco, CEO of Cobra, a dynamic exploration company defining a unique multi-mineral resource at the Wudinna Project in South Australia's Gawler Craton, a renowned mining and exploration jurisdiction hosting several world-class mines. With expansive Wudinna tenements totaling 1,832 km2, and nearby tenement rights of 2,941 km2, Cobra is positioned at the forefront of highly desirable and ionic rare earth mineralisation, crucial for global decarbonisation efforts. Six months ago Cobra pioneered a new exploration concept for rare earths that resulted in the discovery of the Boland rare earths deposit - Australia's only rare earth project with “In Situ Recovery” potential. Rupert brings over 15 years of extensive experience in the mining industry, both in Australia and internationally. His expertise spans resource definition, reserve optimization, mine planning, and operational management across various commodities such as gold, copper, uranium, tin, and iron ore. As a fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Rupert's leadership and insights are invaluable in driving Cobra's strategic vision forward. With his background in geology and a commitment to excellence, Rupert is poised to navigate Cobra towards further success in the dynamic mining landscape. Shaun Day, MD of Greatland Gold also guests and talks about the company acknowledging the reserve estimate for the Havieron gold-copper project announced by Newmont noting it aligns closely with your own indicated resource figures. Despite differences in the inferred mineral resource category—attributable to the distinct reporting standards of the JORC Australian code used by Greatland and the US code used by Newmont—Newmont's indicated resources show a significant 35% increase from June 2023, totaling 4.9 million ounces of gold equivalent, slightly below Greatland's 5 million ounces estimate. The inferred estimate by Newmont stands at 900,000 ounces, in contrast to Greatland's 3.4 million ounces. Shaun highlighted this as a testament to the asset's world-class status and the quality of Greatland's technical team.

In this episode, we have invited Ivy Chen, Principal Consultant of CSA Global and Director of Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) to the show. Ivy is also a Director at Western Power and Football West. Ivy is a skilled and knowledgeable geologist whose adept at incorporating technologies to various mining projects and excellent at diversified training. Her current role sees her auditig IPS to ensure that they pose a balanced view - a view that is important given that the resources industry leans toward optimism. Ivy chose an interesting career path out of university. Working with ASIC! A great listen for all. It was a pleasure to have Ivy with us. Ivy’s Career Journey [02:25] Ivy had always been in Australia but her expertise allowed her to represent as a trainer for the first Australian-Chinese joint venture in Shanxi Province. She taught a group of older Chinese geologist how to use computer-aided mined planning. [03:26] Ivy was amazed on how previous generation geologist draws highly-detailed maps and for her to translate them into a modern computer system is challenging yet fulfilling. Life as Principal Consultant [05:02] Ivy’s work, in a nutshell, is a to be a “Bulldust Detector” where she tests the risk disclosure of mining companies and see if there’s a balance between upside and downside. The mining industry are optimist and loves their project, but this love is the reason why companies tend to forget all the good things. It is her job to take detailed technical reports aided with lawyers to help everyone understand where the risk are and how well they are disclosed. Directorship Learnings [07:38] Ivy learned that a non-executive director is vastly different from someone being on operations. As a non-executive director, you are hands-off on the operation—you cannot tell anyone what they should and interfere with what the CEO is doing. All you do is ask questions, challenge their assumptions, and make them think outside the box that would allow them to craft solutions for any situation. Diversity [09:02] The mining industry is headed to the right direction when it comes to diversity. Ivy emphasizes that it should just be about gender, but also age and ability. She thinks that the mining industry is not great at accommodating disabled people who can contribute many things. Inclusivity should encompass everyone, even those who are different from the norm. The mining industry is headed there, but there are still things to improve. Issues [11:35] Ivy felt that the mining industry have not defined any clear solutions when it comes to social license and environmental issues with climate change on the bigger picture. The industry should learn how to measure and quantify reports for these critical issues that people outside the industry can understand. [12:29] The mining industry should show to other industry that they are better. With this, investments flows in and offers on lower interest rates. If the industry will not pay attention into this, Ivy thinks that everyone will lose their social license to operate. Everyone should be conscious of it and ensure to avoid it from happening. Leaders of Tomorrow [13:07] Ivy hopes that the leaders of tomorrow should understand social license and not take it for granted. Social license covers everything – family, friends, colleagues – in other words, the society. The mining industry is not separated from the rest. Everyone is a family and that is important for future leaders to understand. Social license is not just a check box for a compliance list—it is something deeper and meaningful.   Learn more about Ivy Chen on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivy-chen-06764613/

Rooster Talk Episode 26 A Margaret River Rooster Talk Series - August 2020   This episode has Scott telling us how things are going in Vietnam. I have been a fan of the Ta khoa project from the start and the share price is also telling us that the market has the same thoughts. Blackstone is all about having a great project, fantastic exploration results and management delivering shareholders great value.   Blackstone will deliver the only green nickel project that Elon Musk is asking from the market. The market is now slwowly finding it out for themselves.     About Blackstone Minerals Limited   Blackstone Minerals Limited (ASX: BSX) is developing the district scale Ta Khoa Project in Northern Vietnam where the company is drilling out the large-scale Ban Phuc Nickel-PGE deposit. The Ta Khoa Nickel-PGE Project has existing modern mine infrastructure built to International Standards including a 450ktpa processing plant and permitted mine facilities.   Blackstone also owns a large landholding at the Gold Bridge project within the BC porphyry belt in British Columbia, Canada with large scale drill targets prospective for high-grade gold-cobalt-copper mineralisation.   In Australia, Blackstone is exploring for nickel and gold in the Eastern Goldfields and gold in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Blackstone has a board and management team with a proven track record of mineral discovery and corporate success.   About Scott Williamson   Experienced Managing Director with a demonstrated history of working in the mining & metals industry.

Blackstone Minerals Limited (ASX: BSX) is an aspiring nickel producer with its Ta Khoa Nickel project in Vietnam. The company is based in Perth, Western Australia. The Ta Khoa Nickel-Copper-PGE Project is located 160 km west of Hanoi in the Son La Province of Vietnam and includes an existing modern nickel mine built to Australian standards, which is currently under care and maintenance. The Ban Phuc nickel mine successfully operated as a mechanised underground nickel mine from 2013 to 2016. Previous project owners invested more than US$136m in capital and generated US$213m in revenue during a 3.5-year period of falling nickel prices. The project was placed into care and maintenance in mid-2016 during some of the lowest nickel prices in the past 10 years. Existing infrastructure associated with the project includes an internationally-designed 450 ktpa processing plant connected to local hydro grid power with a fully-permitted tailings facility and a modern 250-person camp. Since commencing maiden drilling in August 2019, Blackstone has made significant progress at Ta Khoa, drilling over 9,000 m of diamond core in more than 47 holes into the Ban Phuc DSS deposit and the highly prospective King Cobra discovery zone. An initial scoping study evaluating mining and processing options is well advanced, including potential in-country downstream processing to deliver high-value nickel sulfate into Asia’s rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) industry. The recently announced MOU with Asia’s largest and the world’s second-largest EV battery cathode manufacturer, Ecopro BM Co Limited represents a significant step toward making this a reality. Scott Williamson is the Managing Director and this Rooster Talk is to chat over what Blackstone has been doing since our last Coffee with Samso. The share price has risen significantly over the last couple of months and I wanted to know what has changed. Scott shares with us the recent drilling activities and results from the last campaign. We also touched on the sentiment of the current capital market and the medium to long term predictions of the nickel price. I was interested to know what Scott thinks about how the changing world events will impact the strategy and plans of Blackstone Minerals.
