Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP   We're nearing the end of the Giro d'Italia, and it's been a crazy race so far. Jonas Vingegaard's dominating the GC, the sprint stages have been hotly contested by Magnier, Groenewegen, and Milan, and UAE are mopping up stage wins left, right, and centre. With just a few days left of the first Grandy of 2026, it's time for this month's Race Communiqué!    That's right, guys, Tom Southam, Luke Durbridge, and I are sitting down for a good old yarn about what's been happening over in Italy for the last few weeks before it all reaches a crescendo this weekend.    Whilst it's pretty nailed on that Vingegaard will take home the pink jersey and, with it, a place in the Grand Tour triple crown hall of fame, there's still a hotly contested fight for the podium spots and - more importantly - the best placed Western Australian, with Hindley, O'Connor, and Storer all sitting pretty in the top 10!    I raced the Giro twice in my career, and I have some fond memories from the land of espresso, prosciutto, and pretty chaotic racing. This grand tour is always a fan favourite; less mainstream than the Tour, but not as low-key as the Vuelta. But, as always, Southam disagrees; is the Giro actually boring?! He makes his case, but also takes a look at the Unibet Rose Rocket's strategy in this month's talking tactics. They're all in on winning a sprint stage because, as our old DS Klier says; “You can't dance at two weddings at the same time.”   In this month's PeloChat, Durbo takes a look at the concussion protocol, and what needs to be changed to better serve riders. This is a real hot debate in the sport at the moment and - after seeing Adam Yates covered in blood and mud battling back into the bunch before a DNS the following stage with concussion - it's clear that it's coming to a head (...if you'll excuse the pun). We discuss the current protocol, and what could be done better to give riders the support they need.   As always, we finish up with a CommuniQuiz, and Southam's up to bat as quiz master with a real tricky Giro special edition. I reckon even Coppi, Pantani, and Nibali would have been caught out with some of these questions, so play along at home and see how you get on! Guys, it's smoking hot over in Europe right now whilst I'm cosying up by the fire at the end of Autumn back home in Melbourne. Seeing the riders sweating away in the mountains is making me feel pretty smug - I don't miss that one bit…but then again, a good excuse to knock the top off a few cold ones.   Cheers, Mitch   Thanks heaps for listening to this month's Communiqué, brought to you exclusively by TrainingPeaks. Make sure you hop on TrainingPeaks virtual next Tuesday June 2nd at 8pm AEST / 11am GMT+ 1 (BST) / 6am EDT to join Southam and I for a virtual ride. Southam's going pretty well at the moment from what I hear, so I'll have to dive deep into the hurt box to try to get one over on him - why not jump on and give me a virtual draft?

On the morning of October 14, 1968, the small Western Australian town of Meckering was torn apart by one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Australia.Roads split open, railway lines twisted, buildings collapsed, and a fault line ripped visibly through the landscape — leaving behind destruction that stunned the nation. In this episode, Holly and Matthew explore the events of the Meckering earthquake, the science behind it, and the aftermath for the people who lived through it. From the first violent tremors to the massive recovery effort, this is the story of the day Australia was reminded that even this ancient continent can move with terrifying force.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

G'day and welcome back to True Blue Conversations — where we share the stories of those who've stood the line, served their communities, and carried the weight of responsibility most will never truly understand. Today's guest represents something rare — not just service, but endurance at the highest level. Forty-eight years in policing. Nearly five decades of showing up, day in and day out, through the good, the bad, and everything in between. Joining us is Superintendent (Retired) Geoff Stewart of the Western Australian Police — a man who built a career on leadership, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to the job and the people beside him. From walking the beat in the early days to making the tough calls at senior command, he's seen policing evolve, faced moments that test character, and led from the front when it mattered most. This is more than a career — it's a lifetime of service. A story of mateship, pressure, sacrifice, and what it truly means to wear the badge for nearly half a century. So, settle in — because this is True Blue Conversations, and today, you're hearing from a man who's given 48 years to the job, and has the stories to prove it. This is a raw and honest chat about how much policing has changed from the late 1970s to the modern day. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Geoff Stewart Editor: Kyle Watkins

Michael Killiner of Tusk Finance has never been afraid of the hard graft required to succeed in the Western Australian broker market. After launching his own brand two years ago, the Subiaco-based broker has grown his brokerage into a high-volume business, writing over 320 loans a year while embracing a "give first" philosophy to win over referral partners.

Great Western Exploration is preparing to launch a six-month drilling campaign targeting multiple copper-gold prospects near the legendary DeGrussa discovery in Western Australia. Managing Director Shane Pike joins The Hole Truth to explain why the Yerrida Basin may host more DeGrussa-style volcanic massive sulphide deposits, and how Great Western has systematically built eight high-priority drill targets across its project portfolio. With a market capitalisation of roughly $12 million and fresh capital raised, the company is highly leveraged to exploration success. Pike outlines the geological evidence supporting targets such as Oval, Diorama, Juggernaut and Baru, and explains why Great Western believes it may be closing in on the “CBD” — the core of a potentially mineralised system. If successful, the program could reshape perceptions of the Yerrida Basin and demonstrate that DeGrussa is not a geological orphan. Guest Bio Shane Pike is the Managing Director of Great Western Exploration Limited (ASX: GTE), a Western Australian mineral exploration company focused on copper, gold and base metal discoveries in the Yerrida Basin. He has extensive experience in exploration geology and project development across Western Australia. Under his leadership, Great Western has assembled a portfolio of highly prospective tenements adjacent to the DeGrussa Copper-Gold Mine and is advancing systematic exploration programs targeting volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits.

These deposits typically occur in clusters, yet the basin has seen surprisingly limited exploration specifically targeting this style of mineralisation. The company believes this represents a major geological opportunity. Eight Drill Targets Across a Highly Prospective Basin The company has identified eight drill targets including Oval, Diorama, Juggernaut and Baru. Each target has been developed through a checklist-driven exploration process incorporating geological modelling, geophysics and geochemistry to confirm the key ingredients associated with VMS mineral systems. Oval Target: Drilling the ‘CBD' of the System Previous drilling at the Oval prospect intersected copper-gold mineralisation and pathfinder elements typical of VMS deposits. New gravity geophysics has identified a higher-density zone interpreted as the core of the system — effectively the “CBD” compared with earlier holes drilled in the “suburbs”. Multiple Untested Copper Anomalies Targets such as Diorama and Juggernaut exhibit strong surface copper anomalies and favourable volcanic host rocks. Diorama hosts gossanous outcrops that may represent weathered massive sulphides, while Juggernaut contains multiple targets with visible mineralisation and VMS-style textures. High Leverage Exploration with Tight Capital Discipline With a market capitalisation around $12 million, Great Western offers significant leverage to discovery success. More than 80% of company funds are directed into exploration, and non-executive directors receive no cash, shares or options for board roles—aligning management closely with exploration outcomes and shareholder returns.

Interview with Paul Mulder, Managing Director of Pacific Lime & Cement Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/pacific-lime-cement-asxpla-pngs-first-lime-producer-targets-50m-import-replacement-market-7827Recording date: 18th March 2026Pacific Lime & Cement (ASX:PLA) is advancing toward February 2027 production as Papua New Guinea's first domestically-based lime and cement manufacturer. In a recent interview, managing director Paul Mulder outlined the company's progress on a project that will eliminate PNG's complete reliance on Chinese and Japanese imports while establishing a vertically integrated building materials platform with substantial government backing.The project's competitive foundation rests on geographic advantages that significantly undercut existing supply chains. The coastal limestone deposit requires zero stripping and sits just 700 meters from the company's private wharf facility within a special economic zone. Current suppliers operate mines 100 to 200 kilometers inland in Southeast Asia, requiring land transport to public ports before international shipping. This positioning, combined with 10-year tax exemptions covering corporate tax and import-export duties, creates meaningful cost advantages for serving PNG's protected domestic market.Financial structure represents another differentiating element. Pacific Lime & Cement funded initial development entirely through equity rather than debt, eliminating covenant restrictions and interest obligations that would reduce cash conversion. The PNG government's direct equity participation of 18% to 30% in both lime and cement special purpose vehicles values the company at approximately $700 million AUD, nearly triple the current $250 million market capitalization. This investment, formalized through a March 2018 project development agreement, signals government commitment while providing expansion capital for additional lime kilns.Near-term revenue visibility comes from Newmont, PNG's largest gold producer, which has committed to purchasing approximately one-third of initial production capacity. The two-kiln phase one targets domestic mining operations, water treatment facilities, and road stabilization projects currently served by imports from distant sources including Israel. Surplus production will flow to Western Australian markets where the company already demonstrates supply chain capabilities.Expansion plans encompass additional lime capacity, cement production facilities with International Finance Corporation partnership, and downstream concrete products including batch plants and cast construction materials. Management is simultaneously monetizing non-core assets, with Power China fully funding iron sands development and advisors pursuing value realization for a copper-gold exploration asset adjacent to the Frieda River operation.View Pacific Lime & Cement's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/pacific-lime-and-cementSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Coffee with Samso | Episode 215 | Adelaide Markets | Adelaide | South Australia Guest:  Derek Carter – Managing Director (later Chair) of Minotaur during the discovery period Tony Belperio (Exploration Lead) – Exploration Manager Barry Van Der Stelt (Contract Geologist) – first recognition of copper Peter Reid (Senior Geologist) – senior geologist involved in the Prominent Hill work Introduction In this Coffee with Samso episode, I went back to Adelaide to sit down with the people who were there when Prominent Hill was found — the discovery that became one of South Australia's defining IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper-Gold) stories. This is not a corporate recap. It is a first-hand account of what actually happened in the lead-up to discovery, how the target was chosen, what the drillers and geologists saw in the core shed, and why a single drilling decision could have changed everything. The team shared the backstory from the early tenement holders right through to the Uranus prospect becoming Prominent Hill — and the reality is simple: discovery is often a chain of decisions, relationships, and technical judgement made under uncertainty. 1) Prominent Hill Was Not a "New" Area — It Was a Patiently Reworked Story A key point in the conversation was that the Mount Woods ground had history well before Minotaur. The tenements were originally held by Metals X, who worked the region from the late 1980s onward, focusing on magnetic features and drilling at least one early target. Later, Burmine Limited entered the picture, and then Normandy/Poseidon ran a helicopter-based gravity survey across the area. Burmine Limited (ASX code: BUR1) was an Australian-listed gold and minerals exploration and mining company active in the late 1980s and early-to-mid 1990s. It was primarily focused on Western Australian gold projects, notably operating the Copperhead mine near Bullfinch. This matters because it shows the reality of exploration cycles: ground can be worked, tested, and even partly understood — but still not properly unlocked until the right targeting logic arrives. 2) The Technical Pivot: Magnetics Were Useful, But Gravity Was the Key The story turned when the targeting mindset shifted. Earlier programs were chasing magnetic features — and while they were hitting copper-bearing magnetite breccias, there was a ceiling to the grades being intersected. The breakthrough came when the team could simultaneously interpret magnetics and gravity, and start looking at where these anomalies were offset from each other. The concept was simple but powerful: Magnetic anomaly = something magnetic Gravity anomaly = something dense Offset between the two can be the clue to a different part of the IOCG alteration system This is where the conversation became very "real exploration": data doesn't tell you it's mineralised. It tells you where you should be brave enough to test. 3) 3D Modelling Was a "Game Changer" — And It Was New Back Then One of the most important takeaways was how early this team was in adopting 3D inversion modelling. Today we treat 3D models as routine. Back then, it was cutting-edge. The team explained how the modelling allowed them to rank targets properly, separate those already drilled from those not tested, and better understand the geometry of gravity and magnetic responses. In Samso terms: this was one of those moments where technology didn't replace geology — it amplified it. 4) "Uranus 1" — The Discovery Hole That Almost Looked Like Nothing The drill hole that changed everything was Uranus 1. Barry Van Der Stelt described the core and is the kind of detail that explorers remember for life: The core was so hematite-rich it was hard to even see textures. The team was washing core just to interpret it. The operation was low-budget — even the core cutting was done on a basic brick saw setup. Then came the moment: blue specks appearing after the core had sat for a couple of days. That blue tarnish was the first real visual signal of copper — and it triggered the call that brought the team running. This was also a reminder that Prominent Hill echoed the Olympic Dam story: sometimes the copper is not obvious until it's tested, altered, or routinely assayed. 5) The Numbers Were Bigger Than Anyone Expected The team admitted they initially thought they might have something like "30 metres of ~1% copper." Then assays came back with results that were materially stronger, including: a high-grade copper interval around 4% copper over ~30m, and broader zones around ~1% copper that they simply could not visually recognise in hematite breccia. Later, deeper drilling confirmed additional IOCG-style signatures, including: copper-gold mineralisation and uranium increasing at depth, reinforcing the Olympic Dam-style system interpretation. 6) The Sliding Doors Moment: Drilling the Flank, Not the Core This is one of the most valuable exploration lessons in the episode. After the discovery hole, infill gravity shifted the interpreted peak of the anomaly by several hundred metres. The team realised they had not drilled the very centre. The irony is that drilling into the "peak gravity" later hit barren, intensely altered hematite-silica core, which is now recognised as central IOCG alteration. The team openly discussed the risk: in 2001, if they had drilled the core first and hit barren alteration, they might have walked away. That is a brutal truth about exploration: a discovery can be decided by where you hit a system first. 7) The Business Reality: Minotaur Had Only 19% — But It Was Enough One of the most interesting parts of the conversation was the structure. Minotaur's maximum share of the project was 19%, while the major partner (BHP/Billiton through the merger timeline) held the majority position. Minotaur's "cost" for that 19% wasn't cash — it was local geological knowledge and management. The team framed it with a simple idea that still applies today: Better to own a piece of something real than 100% of something you can't fund. This is a proper junior-to-major alliance lesson, and it explains how big discoveries are sometimes possible in down cycles. 8) Capital Cycles Still Matter The group reminded us that this happened during a period when market attention was elsewhere — the dotcom era, when exploration was not "in fashion." And yet, the discovery still drove a dramatic market response: strong share price movement, heavily oversubscribed shareholder participation, major legal/accounting work managing scale and compliance. The point wasn't hype. It was showing how quickly markets can change when geology delivers. What This Episode Really Shows This Coffee with Samso episode is a reminder that discovery requires: Local knowledge (not just imported models) Funding and deal-making (alliances matter) Technical courage (you still have to drill the target) Open-minded thinking (don't get trapped by one model) A tolerance for failure (because near-misses are common) Prominent Hill wasn't found because everything was obvious. It was found because the team kept moving forward, making decisions with imperfect data, and backing their judgement. Samso Concluding Comments For me, episodes like this are part of documenting the real value chain of discovery. A lot of people talk about the "next Olympic Dam" like it's a marketing phrase. This conversation shows what that actually looks like in practice: long lead times, multiple parties, tight budgets, imperfect data, and a team that had the discipline to keep testing. If you want to understand how IOCG discoveries really happen — this is one to watch.

There's something beautiful about “boring” training. In this fourth check-in with Matthew, nothing dramatic has happened - no injuries, no big breakthroughs, no chaos. And honestly? That's exactly what we want. After completing an ultra just over a month ago, Matthew has dialled things back sensibly. He's sticking to a three-hour long-run ceiling, building strength through consistent back-to-backs, and focusing on staying healthy rather than chasing ego mileage. We dive into: •Why he caps long runs at three hours (and the research he's been listening to) •The power of repeated back-to-backs instead of one massive weekend •Running in London vs running in proper countryside darkness •Training in relentless mud and fully saturated trails •Road-to-trail shoe choices for Delirious •His detailed blister prevention strategy (including toe sleeves, taping methods and lessons from Fixing Your Feet) •Why treadmill hill reps have entered the chat •The culture shock of going from minus one degree to Western Australian heat •And the wisdom of NOT skateboarding two days before a 200-mile race

I’m your host Allen Hall, and I’m here with Yolanda Padron and Rosemary Barnes, and we’re all in Australia at the same time. We’re getting ready for Woma 2026, which is going to happen when this release is, will be through the first day. Uh, it’ll, it’s gonna be a big conference and right now. We’re so close to, to selling it out within a couple of people, so it’ll be a great event. So those of you listening to this podcast, hopefully you’re at Wilma 2026 and we’ll see, see you there. Uh, the news for this week, there’s a number of, of big, uh, country versus country situations going on. Uh, the one at the moment is [00:01:00] ING Yang in Scotland, and as we know, uh, Scotland. It has been offered by Ming Yang, uh, to build a factory there. They’re put about one and a half billion pounds into Scotland, uh, that is not going so well. So, so they’re talking about 3000 jobs, 1.5 billion in investment and then. Building, uh, offshore turbines for Britain and the larger Europe, but the UK government is hesitating and they have not approved it yet. And Scotland’s kind of caught in the middle. Ming Yang is supposedly looking elsewhere that they’re tired of waiting and figure they can probably get another factory somewhere in Europe. I don’t think this is gonna end well. Everyone. I think Bing Yang is obviously being pushed by the Chinese, uh, government to, to explore Scotland and try to get into Scotland and the Scottish government and leaders in the Scottish government have been meeting with, uh, [00:02:00] Chinese officials for a year or two. From what I can tell, if this doesn’t end with the factory in Scotland. Is China gonna take it out on the uk? And are they gonna build, is is me gonna be able to build a factory in Europe? Europe at the minute is looking into the Chinese investments into their wind turbine infrastructure in, in terms of basically tax support and, and funding and grants of that, uh, uh, aspect to, to see if China is undercutting prices artificially. Uh, which I think the answer is gonna be. Yes. So where does this go? It seems like a real impasse. At a moment when the UK in particular, and Europe, uh, the greater Europe are talking about more than a hundred gigawatts of offshore wind,  Yolanda Padron: I mean, just with the, the business that you mentioned that’s coming into to the uk, right? Will they have without Min Yang the ability to, to reach their goals?  Allen Hall: So you have the Siemens [00:03:00] factory in hall. They have a Vestus factory in Hollow White on the sort of the bottom of the country. Right. Then Vestus has had a facility there for a long time and the UK just threw about 20 million pounds into reopening the onshore blade portion of that factory ’cause it had been mothballed several months ago. It does seem like maybe there’s an alternative plan within the UK to stand up its own blade manufacturing and turbine manufacturing facilities, uh, to do a lot of things in country. Who I don’t think we know. Is it Siemens? Is it ge? Is it Vestus or is it something completely British? Maybe all the above. Rosemary. You know, being inside of a Blade factory for a long time with lm, it’s pretty hard to stand up a Blade factory quickly. How many years would it take you if you wanted to start today? Before you would actually produce a a hundred meter long offshore blade,  Rosemary Barnes: I reckon you could do it in a year if you had like real, real strong motivation [00:04:00] Allen Hall: really. Rosemary Barnes: I think so. I mean, it’s a big shed and like, it, it would be, most of the delays would be like regulatory and, you know, hiring, getting enough people hired and trained and that sort of thing. But, um, if you had good. Support from the, the government and not too much red tape to deal with. Then, uh, you know, if you’ve got lots of manufacturing capability elsewhere, then you can move people. Like usually when, um, when I worked at LM there were a few new factories opened while I was working there, and I’m sure that they took longer than, than a year in terms of like when it was first thought of. But, um, you know, once the decision was made, I, I actually dunno how long, how long it took. So it is a guess, but it didn’t, it didn’t take. As long as you would think it wasn’t. It wasn’t years and years, that’s for sure. Um, and what they would do is they don’t, you know, hire a whole new workforce and train them up right from the start. And then once they’re ready to go, then they start operating. What they’ll do to start with is they’ve got, you know, like a bunch [00:05:00] of really good people from the global factories, like all around, um, who will go, um, you know, from all roles. And I’m not talking just management at all, like it will include technicians, um, you know, every, every role in the factory, they’ll get people from another factory to go over. And, um, you know, they do some of the work. They’re training up local people so you know, there’s more of a gradual handover. And also so that you know, the best practices, um, get spread from factory to factory and make a good global culture. ’cause obviously like you’ve got the same design everywhere. You want the same quality coming out everywhere. Um, there is, as much as you try and document everything should be documented in work instructions. That should make it, you know, impossible to do things wrong. However, you never quite get to that standard and, um. There is a lot, a lot to be said for just the know-how and the culture of the people doing the um, yeah, doing the work.  Allen Hall: So the infrastructure would take about a year to build, but the people would have to come from the broader Europe then at [00:06:00] least temporarily.  Rosemary Barnes: That, that would be the fastest and safest way to do it. Like if it’s a brand new company that has never made a wind turbine before and someone just got a few, you know, I don’t know, a billion dollars, and um, said, let’s start a wind turbine factory, then I think it’s gonna be a few years and there’s gonna be some learning curve before it starts making blades fast enough. And. With the correct quality. Um, yeah. But if you’re just talking about one more factory from a company that already has half a dozen or a dozen wind turbine blade factories elsewhere in the world, then that’s where I think it can be done fast.  Allen Hall: This, uh, type of situation actually pops up a lot in aerospace, uh, power plants, engines. The jet engines on a lot of aircraft are kind of a combined effort from. Big multinational companies. So if they want to build something in country, they’ll hook up with a GE or a, a Honeywell or somebody who makes Jet engines and they’ll create this division and they’ll [00:07:00] stand this, this, uh, plant up. Maybe it’s gonna be something like that where GB energy is in the middle, uh, providing the funding and some of the resources, but they bring in another company, like a Siemens, like a Vestas, like a GE or a Nordex even to come in and to. Do the operational aspects and maybe some of the training pieces. But, uh, there’s a, there’s a funding arm and a technical arm, and they create a standalone, uh, British company to go manufacture towers to go manufacture in the cells to manufacture blades. Is that where you think this goes?  Rosemary Barnes: It depends also what kind of, um, component you’re talking about. Like if you’re talking about, I, I was talking a specific example of wind turbine blades, which are a mediumly complex thing to make, I would say, um. Yeah. And then if you go on the simpler side, when turbine towers, most countries would have the. Rough expertise needed, um, to, to do that. Nearly all towers at the moment come out of [00:08:00] China, um, or out of Asia. And with China being the, the vast bulk of those. Um, and it’s because they’ve got, aside from having very, very cheap steel, um, they also have just got huge factories that are set up with assembly lines so that, you know, there’s not very much moving of things back and forth. So they have the exact right bit of equipment to do. The exact right kind of, you know, like rolling and welding and they’re not moving tower sections around a lot. That makes it really hard for, um, for other countries to compete. But it’s not because they couldn’t make towers, it’s because they would struggle to make them cheap enough. Um, so yeah, if you set up a factory, you know, say you set up a wind turbine, um, factory in, uh, wind turbine tower factory in Australia, you, you could buy the equipment that you needed for, you know, a few hundred million dollars and, um. You could make it, but unless you have enough orders to keep that factory busy, you know, with the, the volume that you need to keep all of that [00:09:00] modern equipment, uh, operating just absolutely around the clock, your towers are gonna be expensive out of that facility. So that’s kind of the, that it’s cost is the main barrier when it comes to towers  Allen Hall: with Vestus in Mitsubishi recently having a partnership and then ending that partnership. It would seem like Vestus has the most experience in putting large corporations together to work on a, an advanced wind turbine project is they would, it would make sense to me if, if, if Vestus was involved because Vestus also has facilities in the uk. Are they the leading choice you think just because they have that experience with Mitsubishi and they have something in country or you think it’s somebody else? Is it a ge  Rosemary Barnes: My instinct is saying Vestas. Yes,  Allen Hall: me too. Okay.  Rosemary Barnes: Ge. It’s wind turbine Manufacturing seems to be in a bit of a, more of an ebb rather than a flow right now, so I [00:10:00] mean that’s, that’s probably as much as what it’s based on. Um, and then yes, like the location of, of factories, there are already some vest, uh, factories, vest people in the uk so that would make it easier. : Delamination and bottomline failures and blades are difficult problems to detect early. These hidden issues can cost you millions in repairs and lost energy production. C-I-C-N-D-T are specialists to detect these critical flaws before they become expensive burdens. Their non-destructive test technology penetrates deep into blade materials to find voids and cracks. Traditional inspections completely miss. C-I-C-N-D-T Maps. Every critical defect delivers actionable reports and provides support to get your blades back in service. So visit cic ndt.com because catching blade problems early will save you millions.[00:11:00] Allen Hall: Can you build a renewable energy future on someone else’s supply chain? Well, in Australia, the last domestic wind tower manufacturers are down. Last year, after losing a 15 year battle against cheaper imports from China, now the Albanese government wants to try again, launching a consultation to revive local manufacturing. Meanwhile, giant turbines are rising in Western Australia’s. Largest wind farms soon to power 164,000 homes. Uh, the steel towers, blades and the cells, they all arrive on ships. And the question is whether that’s going to change anytime soon. Rosemary?  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, it’s, uh, it’s a topic I’ve thought about a lot and done a fair bit of work on as well, local manufacturing and whether you should or shouldn’t, the Australian government does try to support local manufacturing in. General, um, and in particular for renewables, but they focused much more on solar and [00:12:00] batteries. Um, with their manufacturing support, Australian government and agencies like a uh, arena, Australian Renewable Energy Agency have not traditionally supported wind like at all. It bothers me because actually Australia is a fantastic place to be developing some of these supporting technologies for wind energy and even the next generation of wind energy. Um, technologies, we, not any manufacturing. There are heaps of, um, things that would make it more suitable Australia, like just actually a really natural place to develop that. The thing about Australian projects is that they are. Big. Right. That makes it really attractive to developers because like in Europe where they’re, you know, still building wind, but you know, an onshore wind farm in Europe is like a couple of turbines here or there, maybe five, like a big wind farm would be 10, 10 turbines over there. Um, in Australia it’s like a hundred, 200 turbines at a time. Um, for onshore also choosing. Really big turbines. Australians, for some reason, Australian developers really like to [00:13:00] choose the latest technologies. And then if we think about some of the, um, you know, like new supporting technologies for existing wind turbines, like, you know, let’s, um, talk about. O and m there’s a whole lot of, um, o and m technologies, and Australia’s a great place for that too because as Australia wind farms spend so much on o and m compared to other countries. So a technology provider that can improve some of those pain points can much quicker get like a positive, um, return on investment in Australia than they would be able to in somewhere like America or, or Europe. So I think it makes sense to develop here  Allen Hall: with the number of wind farms. Rosie, I, I completely agree with you and. When we were talking about the war Dge wind Farm, which is the Western Australian wind farm that’s gonna expand, they’re adding 30 turbines to provide 283 megawatts. That’s like a nine and a half megawatt machine. Those are big turbines. Those are new turbines, right? That’s not something that’s been around for a couple years. They’ve been around for a couple of months in, in terms of the lifespan of, of wind [00:14:00] turbines. So if Australia’s gonna go down the pathway of larger turbines, the, the most advanced turbines. It has to make sense that some of this has, has to be developed in country just because you need to have the knowledge to go repair, modify, improve, adjust, figure out what the next generation is, right? I don’t know how you, this happens.  Rosemary Barnes: We see some examples of that. Right. And I think that Fortescue is the best example of, um, companies that are trying to think forward to what they’re going to need to make their, you know, they’ve got ambitious plans for putting in some big wind farms with. Big wind turbines in really remote locations. So they’ve got a lot of, um, it’s a lot of obvious challenges there. Um, and I know that they’re thinking ahead and working through that. And so, you know, we saw their investment in, um, nbra wind, the Spanish company and in particular their nbra lift. The bit of the tower that attaches to the rotor. It looks [00:15:00] pretty normal. Um, but then they make it taller by, um, slotting in like a lattice framework. Um, and then they jack it up and slot in another one underneath and jack it up and slot in another one underneath. So they don’t need a gigantic crane and they don’t need, um, I mean, it’s still a huge crane, but they don’t, they don’t, it doesn’t need to be as, as big because, you know, the rotor starts, starts off already on there by the time that the tower gets su to its full height. So, um, yeah, it’s a lot. That’s an innovative solution, I think, and it would, I would be very surprised if they weren’t also looking at every other technology that they’re gonna need in these turbines.  Allen Hall: If Australia’s gonna go down the pathway of large turbines on shore, then the manufacturing needs to happen in country. There’s no other way to do it. And you could have manufacturing facilities in Western Australia or Victoria and still get massive turbine blades shipped or trucked either way. To [00:16:00] wherever they needed it to go. In country, it would, it’s not that hard to get around Australia and unlike other countries like, like Germany was a lot of mountains and you had bridges and narrow roads and all that, and it, it’s, it’s much more expansive in Australia where you can move big projects around. And obviously with all the, the mining that happens in Australia, it’s pretty much normal. So I, I just trying to get over the hurdle of where the Albanese government is having an issue of sort of pushing this forward. It seems like it’s a simple thing because the Australian infrastructure is already ready. Someone need to flip the switch and say go.  Rosemary Barnes: I don’t know if I’d say that we’re we’re ready. ’cause Australia doesn’t have a whole lot of manufacturing of anything at the moment. It’s not true that we have no manufacturing. That’s what Australians like to say. We don’t manufacture anything and that’s not true. We do manufacture. We have some pretty good advanced manufacturing. If you just look at the hard economics of wind turbine manufacturing in Australia of solar panel manufacturing, battery manufacturing. Any of that, it is cheaper to just get it from China, not least [00:17:00] because some of the, um, those components are subsidized by the, the Chinese government. If you start saying, okay, we’re gonna have local manufacturing, like, you can either, you can achieve that either by supporting the local manufacturing industry, you know, like giving subsidies to our manufacturing. Or you could, um, make a local content requirement. Um, say things, you know, if you want project approval for this, then it has to have so much local content. You have to do it really carefully because if you get the settings wrong, then you just end up with very, very expensive, um, renewable energy. And at the moment, especially wind is. Expensive, and I think it’s still getting more expensive in Australia. It has been since, basically since the pandemic. If you then said, we’ve gotta also make it in Australia, then you add a bunch more costs and we would just probably not have wind energy then, so, uh, or new, new wind energy. So there needs to be that balance. But I think that like, even though you can say, okay, cheapest is best, it is also not good to rely on. [00:18:00] Exclusively on other countries, and especially not on just one other country to give you all of your energy infrastructure. If it was up to me, I would be much more supporting the next wave of, um, technologies. I would really love to see, you know, a new Australian. Wind turbine blade manufacturing method. Like at some point in the next decade, we’re going to start getting, uh, advanced manufacturing is gonna make it into wind turbine blades. It’s already there in some of the other components.  Allen Hall: Wait, so you just said if we were gonna build a factory in Scotland, it would take about a year. Why would it take 10 years to do it in Australia? Australia’s a nice place to live.  Rosemary Barnes: No, I didn’t say that. It would, it would take teens. I said in, sometime in the next decade around the world, wind turbine blades are basically handmade, right? They, you know, there are some, um, machines that are helping people, but you know, you have a look at a picture of a wind turbine blade factor and there’s, you know, there’s 20 people walking over, walking over a blade, smoothing down glass. And at some point we’re gonna start using advanced manufacturing methods. I [00:19:00] mean, there are really advanced composite manufacturing methods. Um, you know, with, um, individual fiber placement and 3D printing with, um, continuous fibers. And that’s being used for like aerospace components a lot. It’s early days for that technology and there is no barrier to the technologies to being able to put them, you know, like say on a GaN gantry that just, you know, like ran down the length of a whole blade like that, that could be done. If it was economic, that’s the kind of technology that Australia should be supporting before that’s the mainstream, and everybody else has already done it, right? You need to find the next thing, and ideally not just one next thing, but several next things because you’re not gonna, you don’t know ahead of time, um, which is gonna be the winner. Allen Hall: That hasn’t been the tack that China has taken, that the latest technology in batteries is not something that China is producing today. They’re producing a generation prior, but they’re doing it at scale. At some point they, the Chinese just said, we’re stopping here and we’re gonna do this, this kind of [00:20:00] battery, and that’s it. And away we go. If we keep waiting until the next generation of blade techniques come out, I think we’re gonna be waiting forever.  Rosemary Barnes: I don’t think why I think. Do, you know, make the next generation of, of blade bio technologies?  Yolanda Padron: I think it makes sense for someplace like Australia, right? Because we, we’ve talked about the fact that like here, you, you have to consider a lot of factors in operation that you don’t have to consider in other places, especially for blades, right? So if you can eliminate all of those issues, for the most part that are happening in the factory at manufacturing, then that can really help boost. The next operational projects.  Allen Hall: So then what you’re saying is that. There are new technologies, but what stage are they at? Are they TRL two, TRL five, TRL seven. How close is this technology because I’d hate for Australia to miss out on this big opportunity.  Rosemary Barnes: Frown Hoffer has actually just published an article recently, uh, [00:21:00] about some, I can’t remember if it was fiber, um, tape placement or if it was printed, small wind turbine blades. Small wind is a nice, like, it’s a, a nice bite-sized kind of thing that you can master a lot quicker than you can, you know, you can make a thousand small wind turbines and learn a lot more than making 100 meter long blade. That would probably be bad because it’s your first one and you didn’t realize all of the downsides to the new technology yet. Um, so I, I think it is kind of promising, but. In terms of, yeah, like a major, like in terms of let’s say a hundred meter long blade that was made with 3D printing, that would be terra, L one. Like it’s an idea now. Nobody has actually made one or, um, done, done too much. Um, as far as I know. I think you could get, could get to nine over the next year. Like I said, like I think sometime in the next decade will be when that, when that comes.  Allen Hall: Okay. If you, you didn’t get to a nine that quickly. No, it is possible. Yeah. You gotta put some money into it.  Rosemary Barnes: If someone wants to give me, [00:22:00] you know, enough money, then I’ll make it. I’ll make it happen. I’ll, I would, I would absolutely be able to make that happen, but I don’t know when it’s gonna be cheap enough.  Allen Hall: I would just love to see it. If, if, if you’ve got a, if you’ve got a, a factory, you got squirreled away somewhere in the. Inland of Australia that is making blades at quantity or has the technology to do that. I would love to see it because that would be amazing.  Rosemary Barnes: Technologies don’t just fall out of the sky, you know, like they, you, you, you force them into existence. That’s what you, that’s what you do. You know what this comes down to? Have you ever done the, is it Myers-Briggs where you get the, like letters of your personality? You and I are in opposite corners inside some ways.  Allen Hall: That wraps up another episode of the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

In From the Source, we step outside our regular episodes to take an urgent, in-depth look at the issues threatening our food systems. Host Lucy Allon speaks with award-winning wild-catch fisherman Anthony Heslewood of Revolution Fisheries about the Western Australian fisheries ban and its far-reaching impact on small-scale fishers, chefs, and the future of Australian locally caught, sustainably sourced fish. This conversation unpacks rising prices, supply chains, disappearing WA seafood and increased reliance on imports, and why this decision matters to everyone who cares about the provenance of their food. You’ll also hear how you can support affected fishers, including, if you’re a WA resident, signing a petition to Save WA’s Fisheries, the closing date of which has been extended to 17 February 2026: https://tinyurl.com/Save-WA-Fishers Episode Highlights: The Western Australian Government’s fishing ban has effectively shut down commercial fishing across the West Coast. Targeted, low-impact fishing methods could have protected vulnerable species without eliminating entire fisheries, creating a sustainable future for all. Local seafood is already disappearing, driving higher prices and increased reliance on imports. Fishers like Revolution Fisheries are being forced to rapidly rethink their future to survive. This is an essential listen for chefs, food professionals, policymakers and anyone who cares about truly sustainable systems, transparent supply chains and the future of Australian wild-caught fish.

Interview with Philip Williams, Director & CEO of IsoEnergy Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/isoenergy-tsxiso-multi-jurisdictional-uranium-portfolio-8580Recording date: 15th January 2026IsoEnergy Ltd. (TSX:ISO) differentiates within the uranium sector through near-term production advancement at the Tony M project in Utah while maintaining exposure to ultra-high-grade exploration upside at the Hurricane deposit in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The company has commenced bulk sampling operations at Tony M, extracting approximately 2,000 tons of material for processing at the White Mesa Mill. This program validates three critical decision criteria for full-scale production restart: current operating costs for mining, trucking, and processing; updated capital requirements; and scalability of beneficiation techniques tested on smaller samples that could substantially reduce waste material sent to mill. The strategic toll milling arrangement with Energy Fuels' White Mesa Mill—the only operational conventional uranium mill in the United States—eliminates processing infrastructure capital while providing established metallurgical pathway, as the mill historically processed ore from Tony M during previous 2007-2008 production period. Tony M's existing surface and underground infrastructure substantially reduces restart capital intensity compared to greenfield mine development, positioning the project as IsoEnergy's primary near-term production opportunity. CEO Philip Williams emphasized the competitive advantage: "In our market cap range, there's not so many of them so we want to be one of those producers and be able to deliver material into a rapidly rising uranium price environment which we think is coming in the United States." Concurrently, IsoEnergy has mobilized two drill rigs to Hurricane for a winter campaign exceeding 5,000 meters. The program tests expansion potential within and adjacent to known ultra-high-grade mineralization, extending up to 3 kilometers along structural trend. Hurricane ranks among the world's highest-grade uranium deposits, with exceptional grade concentration reflected in small physical footprint relative to contained uranium. The exploration strategy follows the Athabasca Basin geological model where high-grade deposits form as multiple lenses along structural corridors, suggesting discovery potential for additional proximate ore zones.Portfolio diversification spans multiple development stages and top-tier jurisdictions. Beyond Tony M and Hurricane, IsoEnergy maintains the Coles Hill project in Virginia—a large-scale development opportunity potentially benefiting from federal policy support for domestic production—plus a 50% joint venture with Purepoint Energy exploring additional Athabasca Basin targets. The pending acquisition of Toro Energy, expected to close April 2026, adds Western Australian exposure and development-stage assets.IsoEnergy operates within a bifurcated uranium market where large-cap producers trade at premiums to net asset value while smaller companies trade at substantial discounts, creating consolidation conditions. The company's mid-tier market capitalization provides optionality as both potential acquirer of discounted junior assets and potential target for larger producers seeking high-grade Athabasca Basin exposure. NextGen Energy's 30% ownership provides strategic shareholder stability, while IsoEnergy maintains approximately $60 million in equity positions in smaller uranium companies.Management reports accelerating institutional investor engagement as the production timeline clarifies and uranium market fundamentals strengthen. The recent addition of commercial and marketing expertise signals preparation for uranium sales as production approaches. Near-term catalysts include the Tony M production restart decision following bulk sampling results, Hurricane drilling outcomes, Toro acquisition closure, and potential uranium import policy changes under the Section 232 investigation.Williams acknowledged uranium equity performance ultimately depends on physical price movement despite strong fundamentals: "The space can get ahead of the price for some period of time, but the price has to also move." However, when utility contracting accelerates—whether driven by policy changes, supply disruptions, or other factors—price movements can occur rapidly given concentrated uranium market structure.View IsoEnergy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/isoenergySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Books by popular Australian author Craig Silvey have been pulled from shelves in Western Australian schools, after the 43-year-old was charged with child exploitation. Several of Silvey’s books, including Runt, and Jasper Jones, are studied by students around the country. But, following a raid on his home on Monday, the WA Education Minister has ordered state schools not to use texts by the author in classrooms this year, while the allegations against Silvey are investigated. Today, we’ll explain who Craig Silvey is, the charges against him, and how schools are responding. Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Billi FitzSimonsProducer: Orla Maher Want to support The Daily Aus?

Host, Trent Fleskens, delivers the final episode of 2025 on the Perth Property Show, focusing on the unprecedented growth and challenges in the Western Australian real estate market. Key topics include the sustained high demand, dwindling supply, and significant price growth, with median house prices rising from $740,000 in January to between $830,000 and $850,000 by December. The episode also delves into strong construction numbers, notable suburb price growth, the impact of government housing policies, and the influence of immigration on the market. Despite higher completion rates, the supply deficit remains a critical issue, exacerbated by increased demand from new residents and a housing shortage. Trent also previews the upcoming discussion with Andrew Lefort on planning strategies for 2026.

Documentarian Yaaa Bou Melhem expands her approach to collaborative documentary storytelling with her latest feature Yurlu | Country. This essential film follows the final year of the life of Aboriginal elder Maitland Parker as he continues his decades long fight to heal his homeland after the scarification from the caustic asbestos mines in Wittenoom which left the area as the largest contaminated site in the Southern Hemisphere.Shot with a respectful admiration for the beauty of the land by Tom Bannigan whose camerawork is supported by the immersive and powerful score from Helena Czajka, Yurlu | Country arrives at a time where the history of mining in Western Australia and its relationship to Aboriginal folks from this land is under more scrutiny than ever before with the announcement of caustic mining operations intending to take place on the Burrup Peninsula, home of rock art that is up to 50,000 years old.For many Western Australians, myself included, we carry an anger and frustration with our governments, with each consecutive one failing people like Maitland by not allowing them to be able to be on Country and connect to their land. Within the film, Yaara and Maitland show us the fight being undertaken to allow remediation to take place so the traditional custodians of the land can return home. Legal action is on the horizon, and to go alongside that, an impact campaign will be launched.

Recording date: 23rd September 2025The Denver Gold Forum Americas marked a pivotal moment for the gold mining sector, with buy-side attendance surging over 30% as institutional investors demonstrate renewed interest in precious metals equities. This dramatic shift from the sparse attendance witnessed two years prior signals broader market recognition of the sector's improved fundamentals and investment potential.Major gold miners have fundamentally transformed their financial profiles, moving from debt-heavy structures to robust cash positions. AngloGold Ashanti exemplifies this transformation, transitioning from net debt to net cash even after completing major acquisitions like Centamin. This financial strength has created unprecedented flexibility for capital allocation strategies previously unavailable during weaker commodity environments.Share buyback programs have emerged as a key theme among major producers, creating consistent market liquidity and generating positive feedback effects through passive fund flows. Industry observers expect buyback announcements from larger mid-cap companies over the next twelve months, representing a new marginal buyer category that provides ongoing support for gold mining equities.The gold mining sector has undergone a philosophical transformation regarding growth strategies. Previously, companies emphasized organic growth while treating acquisitions as taboo investments that attracted negative analyst and investor sentiment. The current environment shows marked openness to inorganic growth opportunities, with management teams no longer viewing expansion as inherently problematic.B2Gold's explicit targeting of 2026 acquisitions represents the most candid expression of this strategic shift, while other companies express cautious optimism about appropriate opportunities. Even companies with substantial organic growth potential, including Agnico Eagle, indicate receptiveness to suitable acquisition targets when they emerge.Investment managers Derek Macpherson and Samuel Pelaez identified Bellevue Gold as their primary new portfolio addition, representing a classic single-asset turnaround story. The Western Australian underground producer operates one of the world's highest-grade gold deposits, containing approximately 3.5 million ounces at nearly 10 grams per tonne.The company experienced multiple operational challenges during 2024 production startup, including delayed mine development, balance sheet strain, and unusual flooding events. These difficulties triggered lender covenant violations and forced balance sheet restructuring, creating attractive entry valuations for patient investors.Current operational metrics indicate successful turnaround execution, with mine development catching up to planned schedules and access to higher-grade ore blocks improving production flexibility. Management projects 170,000 ounces of annual production, though operational capacity suggests potential for 200,000 ounces annually.The combination of strong gold prices, improved sector sentiment, and increased institutional participation creates favorable conditions for both operational turnarounds and sector re-rating opportunities. With Bellevue's market capitalization under $1 billion USD, the company trades at significant discounts to comparable Western Australian producers, suggesting fair value potential in the $2-3 billion range.This institutional interest surge, coupled with miners' enhanced financial flexibility and strategic openness, positions the gold sector for continued evolution as both a defensive precious metals play and growth-oriented investment opportunity.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
