Northern Star to Invest up to $60M for 70% of Alaska Range PolarX has secured a landmark farm-in agreement with Northern Star Resources (ASX: NST), giving Northern Star the right to earn up to 70% of the Alaska Range Project by spending $60 million. This partnership validates the project's scale and potential. 2. High-Grade Copper and Gold Resource with 70% IRR The Caribou Dome deposit within the Alaska Range has delivered scoping study results showing an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of ~70% (based on metals prices two years ago), underlining its strong economics and global significance as one of the highest-grade undeveloped copper projects in the USA. 3. Exploration Upside Along 35km Strike Length PolarX controls an under-explored 35km mineralised corridor, including soil anomalies up to 11km by 8km in size. Northern Star's backing allows for big-company exploration programs—geophysics, helicopter surveys, and systematic drilling—that were previously unaffordable for PolarX. 4. Strategic Positioning in Critical Minerals With copper recently added to the US Critical Minerals List, PolarX's Alaskan copper-gold assets are strategically aligned with America's push for secure, domestic supply. The jurisdictional advantage of being in the USA enhances the project's attractiveness to global investors. 5. 100% Ownership of Humboldt Range in Nevada Outside the Alaska JV, PolarX retains full ownership of the Humboldt Range Project in Nevada, located next to major heap-leach gold and silver operations such as Florida Canyon and Rochester. Drill-ready and surrounded by multimillion-ounce deposits, Humboldt represents a second growth pillar for the company.

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 value that astute investors should be looking at as a potential investment? Coffee with Samso: Building a Gold Company from the Ground Up. Guest: Grant Haywood, Managing Director & CEO – Horizon Minerals Ltd (ASX: HRZ) Location: UWA Club, Crawley, WA Introduction In this episode of Coffee with Samso, we sit down with Grant Haywood, an experienced mining engineer and the driving force behind Horizon Minerals Ltd (ASX: HRZ). With over 30 years of experience in the gold mining sector, Grant walks us through the evolution of Horizon Minerals from a small-scale developer into an emerging mid-tier gold producer in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields. Horizon's Journey: From Merger to Momentum - A Gold mining Story. Horizon was born from the 2019 merger of Intermin Resources and MacPhersons Resources. This strategic consolidation, followed by subsequent acquisitions—most notably Greenstone Resources and Poseidon Nickel's Black Swan plant—has expanded the company's resource base to over 1.8 million ounces of gold. Today, Horizon is producing gold from two key cornerstone projects—Booraara and Burbanks—through third-party processing facilities while preparing its own Black Swan plant for refurbishment and restart in 2026. Key Highlights from the Conversation Producing Now, Building for Tomorrow - Horizon is already generating revenue from Booraara (processed at Paddington) and Phillips Find (processed at FMR's Greenfields plant). This cash flow helps reduce the capital needed for restarting their own plant. Undervalued in the Market? - At a market cap of ~$125M and a resource base of 1.8Moz, Horizon appears undervalued compared to peers—especially as it is already producing and generating cash flow. The Path to 100,000oz per Annum - With aspirations of reaching 100koz/year by late 2026, Horizon plans to use its own refurbished plant at Black Swan (acquired from Poseidon) to process ore from Booraara, Burbanks, and other satellite projects. Drilling to Grow: Burbanks in Focus - A major 30,000m drill campaign is underway at Burbanks, split evenly between infill and extensional targets. Only 25% of the current resource is in the Indicated category, so the objective is to upgrade classification and build reserves for future feed. The Silver Option – Nimbus - The Nimbus silver-zinc project (20Moz Ag, 104kt Zn) is a long-term optionality play. Environmental cleanup has been completed, and reclassification of the site is expected soon. Once permitted, a flotation circuit at Black Swan could enable cost-effective processing if silver prices justify it. Strategic Land Position - Horizon holds over 1,300km² of tenements around Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie. With ~$5M in annual expenditure commitments, the company continues to evaluate M&A opportunities and potential divestments. Near-Term News Flow Infill & extensional drill results from Burbanks September quarter cash flow from current production Black Swan plant refurbishment PFS (due Q4 CY2025) Mining studies to map feed sources for Black Swan Samso Concluding Comments I've been following Horizon Minerals for a while now, and sitting down with Grant Haywood really brought the story into focus. What I saw was a company that has quietly transitioned from being just another gold explorer to one that is genuinely producing—and doing so in a way that makes sense in the current gold environment. What stands out to me is the clarity of their strategy. Rather than rushing into big capex spends, Horizon is using third-party infrastructure to generate cash while carefully planning the refurbishment of the Black Swan plant. It's a smart move. This kind of thinking—measured, practical, and value-driven—is what sets them apart from a lot of other emerging gold plays. They've set their sights on becoming a 100,000oz/year producer by late 2026, and from where I sit, that is achievable. The resource base is there. They're mining. Cash is already flowing. And with drilling continuing at Burbanks and Booraara, the potential to expand and firm up long-term feed is only growing. There's also a glaring disconnect between the market valuation and what the company has quietly built. I wouldn't be surprised to see a rerate once the PFS for Black Swan is released and the market catches up to the fact that Horizon is well past the explorer stage. From an investment lens, what I see is a company with production, real optionality (think silver at Nimbus and even future nickel), and a near-term path to self-sustaining operations. The pieces are on the table. The next few quarters are all about execution—and in my view, that's where Grant's background in operations will be important. Remember, the devil is always in the details and having an operational thinking flag bearer like Grant will be very important. The chapters below will help you navigate the Coffee with Samso and l hope you will all get some value from Grant.

Interview with Caedmon Marriott, Managing Director of Western Mines GroupOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/western-mines-asxwmg-building-australias-next-major-nickel-resource-6328Recording date: 28th July 2025Western Mines Group presents a compelling investment opportunity in the nickel sector, combining world-class resource scale with strategic market positioning as the commodity establishes a price floor. The company's Mulga Tank project near Kalgoorlie hosts Australia's largest nickel sulfide deposit, containing 5.3 million tons of nickel across a nearly 2 billion ton resource with 0.27% nickel grades. This positions Western Mines among the world's top 10 nickel deposits by contained metal.The investment thesis centers on three key pillars: exceptional resource quality, strategic timing, and significant exploration upside. The deposit demonstrates superior metallurgical characteristics with four times the sulfur content of comparable Canadian projects and grades 25% higher than peer operations. This sulfur-to-nickel ratio approaching pentlandite composition, combined with enrichment in chalcophile and platinum group elements, supports enhanced processing efficiency and recovery rates. The company's conservative approach using a 0.2% nickel cutoff—double the threshold employed by many competitors—demonstrates disciplined resource estimation practices.Market dynamics strongly favor Western sulfide producers like Western Mines. The nickel price has established a durable floor at $15,000 per ton, with Managing Director Caedmon Marriott noting that "absolutely nobody is making money at these prices," including large-scale Indonesian and Chinese producers. This supply discipline, combined with robust demand growth of 6-7% annually in stainless steel and over 10% in defense applications, creates favorable conditions for price recovery. The battery sector maintains 25-30% growth trajectories in Western markets, supporting long-term structural demand.Environmental regulations are creating additional advantages for Western producers. European battery passport requirements mandate detailed CO2 accounting, with nickel representing 30-35% of an electric vehicle's carbon budget. Western Mines' sulfide operation positions it at the bottom of the CO2 intensity curve, benefiting from increasing preference for "green nickel" and supply chain security considerations as buyers diversify away from Chinese-controlled Indonesian operations.The exploration upside provides significant optionality beyond the established resource. Recent drilling has identified 91 occurrences of massive sulfide evidence, including large immiscible sulfide globules described as "tennis ball-sized." This statistical abundance across limited drilling suggests a substantial massive sulfide system at depth. If Western Mines delineates a "Perseverance-style" deposit of 50 million tons at 2% nickel, it would dramatically accelerate development timelines and enhance project economics. Such a discovery would transform the project from a large-scale, low-grade operation into a hybrid system capable of supporting both high-grade standalone developments and integrated large-scale processing.Operational advantages include Western Australia's stable jurisdiction with established mining infrastructure and government support through exploration incentive schemes totaling $220,000 in recent grants. The deposit's shallow nature, with mineralization beginning at 50-60 meters below surface, and anticipated low strip ratios under 2:1 support cost-effective mining scenarios. The modular development approach, potentially scaling from 10 million to 40 million tons annually, offers risk-managed capital deployment.Current drilling programs focus on resource extension and massive sulfide targeting, with results expected to feed into metallurgical testing and scoping studies in early 2025. Western Mines represents a rare opportunity to access a world-class nickel asset at attractive valuations while the sector remains distressed, positioning investors for significant revaluation as market fundamentals improve and the energy transition accelerates demand for critical battery materials.View Western Mines Group's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/western-mines-groupSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

“You can't sue in the company's shoes. You're not coming in good faith!”___ShopCo had two 50% shareholders, P and D. Each of P and D were Cos. P's dir and D's dir were the dirs of ShopCo.

Historic Kalgoorlie pipeline to undergo half billion dollar upgrade
The way James McDonald is reeling off Gr 1 wins it seems certain he'll need only two more full seasons to seriously threaten Damien Oliver's record of 129 Australian wins at the elite level. Until that happens we can continue to appreciate the distinguished record “Ollie” left behind when he retired from race riding seventeen months ago. Those 129 Gr 1's were the highlights of a magnificent career tally of 3189. Throw in 14 Scobie Breasley medals, 10 Melbourne jockey's premierships and an induction into the Racing Australia Hall of Fame at age 36, and you've got one hell of a record. Damien's Melbourne Cup win on Media Puzzle in 2002 came just days after the death of his jockey brother Jason who'd suffered multiple injuries in a Perth barrier trial fall. The story of the tragedy behind Media Puzzle's win made news around the world and remains a part of Australian racing folklore. A podcast seemed the best way to identify and document the many facets of the fascinating life of one of our best ever jockeys. “Ollie” was happy to oblige and we caught him in reminiscent mood. He begins by admitting he still gets an occasional withdrawal symptom when the big races roll around. Damien talks of his final day in the saddle- a four race international jockey's series in Saudi Arabia. He looks back on his final Melbourne Cup carnival. Three wins over the week consolidated his all time record of 88 wins for the four day carnival. The former ace jockey looks back on his final day of riding in Australia. From seven rides at Perth's Ascot track he won the last three races to the delight of 10,000 racegoers. It was an emotional day for the WA born horseman. He talks about the death of his father Ray in a Kalgoorlie race fall in 1975. He was just three years old. Damien reflects on his original apprenticeship to step father Lindsay Rudland, and the unforgettable thrill of his very first winning ride at Bunbury. He recalls the manner in which negotiations played out for his transfer to the Freedman stable in Melbourne. He says the experience was intimidating in the beginning. The multiple premiership winner reflects on the first of his 129 Gr 1 victories. He was just 18 years old at the time. He agrees that Mannerism's Caulfield Cup win in 1992 was the one to propel him onto the big stage. Damien is happy to admit his first Melbourne Cup appearance finished in a disaster. He's still in disbelief that he was able to win 18 Gr 1's before completing his apprenticeship. Damien reflects on the first of his three Melbourne Cup wins on Doriemus in 1995. He pays special tribute to the top class stayer. He was happy to revisit the incredible Media Puzzle story of 2002. The death of brother Jason following a freak accident in a Perth barrier trial and the reason for his decision to ride the Irish stayer in the Melbourne Cup. He remembers the race, the emotion, the aftermath and the release of a movie called The Cup nine years later. He recalls the circumstances leading up to his engagement for Fiorente in the 2013 Melbourne Cup. He'd never ridden the horse in a race but played a major part in the stallion's preparation leading up to the big race. Damien talks of three second placings in the famous event. He reflects on some favourite moments from his Gr 1 journey beginning with his first Cox Plate success on Dane Ripper in 1997. Damien remembers his second Cox Plate win on the great West Aussie Northerly. He had to survive a double protest. The champion jockey has won some major races several times over. He looks back on multiple victories in races like the Victoria Oaks, the Victoria Derby, and the 1000 Guineas. Damien talks of several great sprinters he got to ride with special mention of the powerful grey Schillaci. Oliver won 5 races on the brilliant Testa Rossa including 3 Gr 1's. He reflects on one famous defeat at the hands of Redoute's Choice in the 1999 Caulfield Guineas. Damien says the last elite horse he rode was the multiple Gr 1 winner Anamoe. He picked up the ride on the emerging superstar when Covid restrictions prevented James McDonald from commuting to Melbourne. He was chuffed to finally snare a Golden Slipper win on Sydney filly Forensics in 2007. He had a beautiful run from the inside gate but had a fight on his hands to stave off Zizou. Damien was happy to talk about one career low point- an eight month disqualification after being found guilty of a betting offence. He explains how it took two years before he was actually charged. He looks back on the worst of the many injuries he sustained in 35 years of race riding- a spinal fusion enabled him to keep going for another 18 years. Damien talks of the reaction of wife Trish to his retirement announcement in 2023, and the current activities of daughters Niali and Zara and son Luke. It's a laid back chat with a jockey regarded by many racing students as one of the greatest in Australian racing history.

From childhood memories of travelling the remote Kimberley landscapes of the 1960's, to arriving in a skirt and heels onto a remote WA airstrip in Kalgoorlie as a freshly minted RFDS Doctor, Dr Elizabeth Green's new memoir is an engaging, time-travelling treat. While Elizabeth was only 'officially' with the RFDS for two and a half years in the last 1980's, her love of medicine and the bush, along with a lifelong romance with her Flying Doc husband, Dr Stephen Langford, has gifted her with a swag full of incredible and often outrageous outback yarns. After working for 35 years with the RFDS Western Ops, as well as in Port Hedland, Stephen also wrote the iconic 2015 book, The Leading Edge: Innovation, technology and people in Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service. Just like the shadow of the RFDS plane's she would often watch from the window of her many RFDS clinic and retrieval flights, Elizabeth believes the stories and communities of the RFDS have followed her throughout her life.***Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

In this episode of the Perth Property Show, host Trent Fleskens welcomes back Brendon Ptolomey to discuss the latest trends in Western Australia's regional property market. They start with Karratha, noting limited supply and rising values driven by local factors despite global turmoil. Port Headland's market remains strong with stabilized rents and values, while South Headland shows a balanced market. Geraldton attracts investors due to affordable properties with good rental yields. Kalgoorlie sees growth driven by high gold prices, and Albany thrives on a diverse local economy and coveted real estate. The southwest regions like Margaret River and Bunbury reflect varied market conditions, with unique dynamics in each area influencing property values and demand.
In this episode, we talk to Tim Rogers. Best known as the frontman for rock band You Am I, Rogers was born in Kalgoorlie, WA, but lived all over the country growing up, spending time in Adelaide, Sydney and Canberra, and now, rural Victoria. The 55-year-old has lived a big life so far as a songwriter, raconteur, talking head and author. He's had his struggles and his joys but has remained, as always, sartorially splendid. He speaks with Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall about addiction, mental health, footy, cycling, gardening, and his current tour with the band, celebrating the 30-year anniversary of its seminal sophomore album, Hi Fi Way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What to bring when you haven't got a thing? For those rural and remote families who suddenly find themselves aboard an RFDS flight to a faraway city hospital, having a few 'overnight essentials' close at hand can make all the difference. But it was at the moment when Kalgoorlie mum, Kim Luke, found herself in that very situation - with just her sick son's Batman Backpack with her on an emergency retrieval flight to Perth - that the idea of a 'Grab and Go Bag' came to her. But what makes Kim's generous idea even more remarkable was that at the time, she was facing one of the worst days of her life. Because Kim's son Jayden was gravely ill, and his Doctors had no idea what was happening to him. Today, Jayden is a health, active boy who loves his bikes. But just a few short years ago, Jayden was diagnosed with one of the most common but aggressive forms of childhood cancer - a Wilms Tumour.

It's certainly not a common trajectory — from an established career in graphic design and marketing to medicine — but that’s the extraordinary career path of Dr Anna Western, a Rural Clinical School of WA alumna now working in that state’s Goldfields region. Anna discusses her choices and the determination that was required to undertake medicine while raising three young children. She reflects on the pivotal moments that led her to medicine, the challenges of balancing study with family life, and the unique opportunities and rewards of rural practice. Anna says open spaces, a vibrant community and scope for professional growth in Kalgoorlie has transformed and enriched her life and career.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
By the time Japanese launched their air attack force on the US Naval base of Pearl Harbour, in Hawaii, raining down a hail of metal from the Pacific sky, the US had already been quietly preparing an Oceania invasion force, flooding troops into hastily prepared Army bases in Eastern Australia. With over a million American troops passing through the country, statistics might suggest that some would have been less desirable guests than others. The frightening reality that at least one would turn out to be a serial killer was a different matter entirely, a reality that certainly seemed to catch both the Americans and the Australians equally by surprise.

Astral Resource (ASX: AAR) is developing the Mandilla Gold Project on the edge of Kalgoorlie, the PFS is due by June. Managing Director Marc Ducler is convinced the project will come into production with Astral's name on it but given the number of big companies around the outside perhaps it might be taken over first. ---- Produced by Resource Media ---- The Hole Truth is a product of Read Corporate.

Riversgold Ltd (ASX:RGL) has confirmed the mobilisation of an RC drill rig to its Northern Zone Project in the Kalgoorlie East Gold Project in WA. The drilling will target the Northern Zone, a 600-metre-wide porphyry gold system. The RC rig, sourced from Top Drill, is scheduled to arrive on-site this Friday to commence a 1,280-metre drilling program. Most drill holes are planned to reach depths of 100 to 120 metres. The program aims to test areas beneath previous drill holes that ended in mineralisation and high-grade shallow intercepts. Additionally, gamma logging will be conducted to obtain bulk density measurements for a mineral resource estimate. Riversgold has also planned a separate 2,000-metre aircore drilling program later in March to investigate shallower mineralisation. The company has now scheduled two drill rigs for the 2025 drill season at the Kalgoorlie East Gold Project, adding the RC rig to the program announced on February 13. This additional RC rig will drill into the transition zone below the weathered oxide zone. Riversgold has also submitted a Mining Lease application to the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety to convert the Northern Zone into a Mining Lease. #Riversgold, #Mining, #GoldExploration, #Kalgoorlie, #Drilling, #RCDrilling, #AircoreDrilling, #GoldMining, #MineralExploration, #ResourceEstimation, #MiningNews,
Riversgold Ltd has exercised its option to acquire an 80% interest in the Kalgoorlie Gold Project's Northern Zone in Western Australia after meeting the required A$600,000 minimum exploration expenditure. The company has formally notified Oracle Power Plc (LON: ORCP), the current owner, in accordance with ar Heads of Agreement signed in May 2023. Exploration efforts have identified a significant blind porphyry gold system, with widths of up to 600 metres and mineralisation extending beyond 400 metres in depth. Recent shallow drilling has detected gold mineralisation from approximately 30 metres below the surface, while metallurgical testing has reported an average gold recovery of 92.9% through a 24-hour bottle roll extraction process. With the 2025 drilling program set to begin, Riversgold aims to further explore the deposit, upgrade the tenement status to a Mining Lease and evaluate its potential as a contract mining, trucking and toll milling operation. The company is focused on establishing a robust mineral resource estimate for the upper section of the porphyry to assess the feasibility of an economic starter pit. Riversgold and Oracle have extended their joint venture agreement deadline to December 31, 2025, to facilitate the Mining Lease application. A drill rig has been secured, with drilling set to commence in the coming weeks. #Riversgold #KalgoorlieGold #GoldMining #MiningExploration #WesternAustralia #GoldProject #Drilling #MineralExploration #PorphyryGold #MiningLease #ExplorationUpdate #MiningNews #Geology #GoldMineralisation

Interview with George Sakalidis, Managing Director of Magnetic ResourcesRecording date: 20th December 2024Magnetic Resources (ASX: MAU) has emerged as a significant player in Western Australia's gold sector with a major discovery in the Laverton region, approximately 300km north of Kalgoorlie. The company has delineated nearly 2 million ounces of gold since staking the ground in 2017, achieved through an extensive drilling campaign comprising 170,000 meters across 1,900 holes.The company's flagship Lady Julie North 4 deposit currently hosts 1.5 million ounces, with a resource upgrade expected in January. Recent drilling results have been particularly impressive, featuring high-grade intercepts including 76m @ 2.5 g/t and 24m @ 5 g/t gold. The deposit has demonstrated considerable depth potential, extending up to a kilometer down dip, supporting plans for both open pit and underground operations.A feasibility study, due in March, will examine development scenarios targeting initial production of 150,000 ounces per year. The project's economics appear robust, with preliminary studies based on a A$3,200/oz gold price showing an NPV of A$925 million, EBITDA of A$1.4 billion, and an impressive 135% Internal Rate of Return with a 12-month payback period.The project's strategic location presents significant advantages, sitting just 10-15km from two major processing plants operated by Gold Fields and Genesis. Both facilities are currently operating below capacity, opening potential opportunities for toll treatment arrangements or corporate transactions. The site also benefits from existing infrastructure, including access to a gas pipeline and proximity to established mining roads.Magnetic Resources, led by Managing Director George Sakalidis, has achieved these results at a remarkably low discovery cost of $9 per ounce. The company is well-funded with A$12 million in the bank, sufficient to complete its feasibility study, and is engaged in discussions with banks regarding project financing.The project's development path appears to have two potential routes: either advancing to production independently or pursuing a corporate transaction with neighboring producers seeking additional feed for their processing facilities. The company has established a data room and is entertaining potential M&A interest, though management emphasizes they are equally prepared to proceed with development independently.With its combination of scale, grade, strategic location, and robust economics, Magnetic Resources represents a significant new development in Western Australia's gold sector. The upcoming resource upgrade and feasibility study in early 2025 will be crucial catalysts in determining the project's ultimate development path.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

A big episode of Talk Birdie To Me this week with the team in 3 different timezones. Nick is in South Australia working hard drinking wine, Mark is in Melbourne, and Third Man Dan is in Mackay in North Queensland.Nick is in SA doing some hosting at the BMW National Final and explains what he is doing, some of the golf he has been playing, and who with. He played The Grange courtesy of their pro Gary Simpson, Mark tells a great story about Gary.Last week Mark was very excited about his impending trip to play Tara Iti in the 'Lamington Jam', and we want to hear all about it. Did Tara Iti live up to his (high) expectations? Did he play well? Would he go back? How does he rate Tara Iti on a world scale? Mark talks us through his takeaways from the trip.We then talk about what Mark describes as 'the best short par 4 in the world', does Nick agree?Nick saw none of the Black Desert Championship in Utah at the weekend, as he was working, Mark saw a bit - and loved it. We discuss desert golf and how spectacular it is. Kalgoorlie hosting the WA PGA Championship at the weekend is another great example, Mark describes the decision to host the WA PGA in Kalgoorlie for the past decade or so as a 'genius' move by WA, in taking it to spectacular regional courses, much like what NSW is doing this year at Murray Downs.We discuss innovation in golf commentary and Mark explains what he saw the commentators in Utah doing when they analysed Harris English's swing. He'd love to see that kind of analysis on the Australasian PGA tour. This gives Nick an idea - he is playing with Elvis Smylie in Adelaide tomorrow, so he'll try to set something up. Watch this space.Then we talk real estate. For a lazy $10 million we can purchase and build a home on Te Arai golf course in New Zealand overlooking the 4th hole. We'll pass a hat around, perhaps the Talk Birdie Wolfpack can collectively buy in. Back to Tara Iti, Mark's Top 5 is his favourite 5 things about Tara Iti...ironically the course itself is not one of them! He explains.Nick is pumped in the PING global results as PING players, as usual, have been killing it. And we check feedback, which includes solutions for the Yips, more RakePod comments, and a whack for Mark which Nick says is overdue. Great masterclass from Nick, in two parts, both to do with Elvis Smylie. Part 1 on his swing, and Part 2 on his putting.Thanks to our great Talk Birdie partners:PING will help you play your best, like they have for Nick O'Hern.

Bill Beament grew up in a working class family out of Esperance in Western Australia. He dreamed of being a general manager of a mine one day. Instilled at a young age with a deep work ethic and an acute commercial sense, he achieved much, much more than this as CEO and Executive Chair of Northern Star. Bill reshaped the underground gold mining industry and built from scratch a $16b, ASX 50 behemoth. Not resting on his laurels though, Bill has more recently turned his attention to wrapping up all his learnings about mining, about people and about leadership to his own venture Develop Global (ASX:DVP), which is on the precipice of replicating Northern Star's success in critical minerals with its unique business model of both mining services and mine ownership. This is one of Australia's great stories, largely unknown and untold outside the resource community so heavily centred in Perth, but the scaling lessons, as you'll hear, are applicable to all sectors and leaders of businesses, of all shapes and sizes. This episode takes you underground into a world unfamiliar to most, but applicable to all. I hope you enjoyed this episode of Scaling Up with Bill Beament, CEO and founder of Develop Global.
