Killi Resources (ASX: KLI) has just acquired an exceptional iron ore project in Western Australia. It will produce iron ore which is very different from anything else produced in Australia. Killi Resources has just acquired an exceptional iron ore project in Western Australia. It will produce iron ore which is very different from anything else produced in Australia. This product will be in hot demand among the new generation of low-emission steelmaking facilities around the world. Guest Bio Hamish Halliday is a Non-Executive Director of Killi Resources Limited (ASX: KLI), a geologist with around 30 years of corporate and technical experience across the resources sector. He has been involved in the discovery and funding of multiple large-scale mineral projects across five continents. Halliday founded Adamus Resources, which he grew from a A$3 million float into a multi-million-ounce emerging gold producer, overseeing the discovery of the Southern Ashanti Gold Project in Ghana. He also co-founded a number of other successful junior mining companies, including Gryphon Minerals, Venture Minerals, Renaissance Minerals, Alicanto Minerals and Blackstone Minerals. At Killi, he is focused on advancing the Lodestone Iron Ore Project alongside the Richardson Street group and Chairman Nev Power, the former Fortescue Managing Director.

Granites on either side have reworked the mineralisation so the silica–magnetite bonds break apart easily, with grains up to five millimetres across — roughly 100 times coarser than nearby banded iron formations such as Karara. It is more analogous to high-grade bodies seen in Canada, Sweden and South America than to typical Western Australian iron ore. Built for the Green-Steel, Electric Arc Furnace Market The project's key commercial point of difference is that its product can supply the new generation of low-emission steelmaking facilities, whereas most Western Australian iron ore cannot. Electric arc furnaces are where the industry's growth is concentrated, using gas as a reductant rather than coking coal and offering around 80% lower CO2 emissions. Only about 3% of seaborne iron ore is direct-reduction (DR) grade, creating a structural supply shortage that Killi aims to help fill — and Halliday points to Champion Iron spending around half a billion dollars to lift its product toward DR grade as evidence of the premiums on offer. Simple, Low-Cost Processing and Premium Product Because the ore is so coarse and breaks apart easily, Killi can produce a 68–69% Fe concentrate from a 250-micron grind — about ten times coarser than Karara — pointing to a simple processing circuit. The project delivers around 33–40% mass recovery, with concentrate grades targeted at 69–70% Fe at very low impurities. Halliday frames the investment case as clipping the margin at both ends: lower production costs and a higher price, which ultimately translates into stronger free cash flow. Standout Location with Existing Infrastructure Lodestone sits roughly 200 kilometres from the Port of Geraldton, which has spare capacity, with grid power, a sealed road and a rail line running straight to the port — Halliday notes you can stand on the discovery outcrop and see all of it. With no need to build anything beyond the mine gate, the capital required is far smaller than a typical magnetite development, opening the door to a modest, low-capital start-up to generate early cash flow. A Substantial Resource with Major Growth Upside Killi already has an inferred resource of 110 million tonnes, but that tests only about 20% of a magnetite system extending some 25 kilometres of strike. The company plans to start drilling within weeks and aims to quadruple the resource toward roughly half a billion tonnes over the next 12 to 18 months. Running metallurgy, engineering with Sedgman and offtake discussions in parallel, Killi is targeting a pre-feasibility study in the second half of next year and a final investment decision within two to two-and-a-half years. The acquisition is backed by an A$15 million placement, lifting cash to around A$18.5 million, and a heavyweight team including Chairman Nev Power and Steve Parsons' Richardson Street group.
Firefly Metals (ASX: FFM) owns the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project in Canada. It's been one of the great success stories in this space over the past two years. Another resource update and economic studies are pending, and the company has just completed the sale of its Pickle Crow Project to Bellavista. Firefly shareholders will get a chunk of Bella Vista shares, and Firefly will be a major shareholder in Bella Vista. Steve Parsons is the Managing Director of Firefly Metals. He has extensive experience in the mining and resources sector, with a strong track record of advancing high-quality mineral projects through exploration, development, and production stages. Parsons is widely recognised for his operational expertise and his focus on value creation through disciplined capital allocation and aggressive exploration strategies.

Key Insights Aggressive Drilling Strategy Driving Resource Growth Firefly Metals has rapidly scaled its exploration efforts from a single rig to 10 active drill rigs across the Green Bay project. This includes seven underground rigs focused on infill and step-out drilling, and three surface rigs targeting regional opportunities. The intensity of drilling underpins consistent news flow and resource expansion, a key driver of market re-rating in the resources sector. High-Grade Core Enhancing Project Economics Within the broader ~80Mt resource base, Firefly has identified a high-grade core approaching 20Mt grading 3–4% copper, with zones exceeding 5–7%. This material is expected to be mined early, significantly boosting project NPV and early cash flow. The presence of such high-grade zones positions Green Bay as a potentially tier-one copper-gold asset. Clear Development Path with Scalable Production Profile An upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) will outline a low-capex, 1.8Mtpa startup operation leveraging existing infrastructure, including hydroelectric power and port access. Importantly, the study will also demonstrate scalability to 3–5Mtpa or beyond, highlighting long-term growth potential and multi-decade mine life. District-Scale Exploration Upside Remains Underexplored Firefly controls an entire volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) district, where deposits typically occur in clusters. With regional drilling set to accelerate in the second half of the year, the company is targeting repeat discoveries that could materially expand the resource base and transform the project into a globally significant mining camp. Bellavista Transaction Unlocks Hidden Value for Shareholders The divestment of the Pickle Crow gold project into Bellavista provides Firefly shareholders with direct equity exposure via an in-specie distribution. Firefly retains ~10% ownership, maintaining upside while reallocating capital to Green Bay. The involvement of proven operators and a well-funded exploration plan increases the likelihood of value creation from this secondary asset.

My special guest tonight is paranormal researcher Steve Parsons who's here to talk about the phenomena of the different types of sounds that occur during hauntings. Paracoustics: Paranormal Acoustics From the chain-rattling ghost of Pliny's first century Athens to things that go bump in the night and 21st century electronic voice phenomena sound has always fascinated paranormal researchers. This unique book examines that fascination and presents a selection of the leading research in paranormal acoustics together with an in-depth review of the equipment and techniques that are used by researchers and investigators. It explores the physics and the psychology of sound and its association with the paranormal. Contributed chapters by leading experts in Infrasound, electronic voice phenomenon (EVP), séance tapping and other ghostly sounds encourage a multidisciplinary approach to the subject.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]
