Tim Goyder has set the wheels in motion at a little gold explorer, which has just secured a promising project not too far from his runaway Minerals 260. Mining writer Kristie Batten lifts the lid. 🔍 ow.ly/owI550YC4QF #LachlanStar #LSA #KristieBatten $LSA @KristieBatten

When the headline of the Goldman Sachs research’s report says it all.

The #IranWar‌ could see #tungsten prices remain elevated for 3-5 years, while #uranium and #nuclear will be on “steroids” and #lithium will be well supported miningforum.live/p/how-the-iran…

This week for @StockheadAU I wrote about #uranium and how energy security concerns could supercharge #nuclear capacity @TribecaIP $AGE stockhead.com.au/resources/ener…

FRESNILLO PLC's C$770M acquisition of Probe Gold Inc. signals a major shift as one of the world’s top precious‑metals producers expands into Canada.

How does the reopening of Straits of Hormuz look like? I presented this to my clients last week. Logistics will be messy. Confidence needs to be rebuild. Unconditional is the word. It's going to take time, guys. Don't hold your breath. #oott

I should probably be keeping my football allegiance on the downlow at this trying time 😅 but I’m really looking forward to moderating this panel discussion at @RR_Stars Gather Round next week #GatherRound

@hinds_stuart 🤦‍♀️

It’s Aprils fool’s day somewhere in the world isn’t it. I believe the website origin is Asia possibly India, though I’m not opposed to GGP buying out NS and Evolution by midday tomorrow. 🤥 stocksdownunder.com/five-asx-stock…

The diagram predicts most of the world will experience oil supplies reduced to a trickle in April, and “most deliveries” to Australia stopping on April 20. #48245" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenightly.com.au/world/middle-e…

@patrickdurkin Wow, talk about a whole lotta nothing!

The PM’s 4 point plan from national cabinet - talk about light touch! More info about what it means still needed I think.

Relative newcomer Tarrina Resources #TR8 believes it has a large mineral system on its hands at the Christmas Gift project in New South Wales’ Lachlan Fold Belt, writes @kristiebatten. buff.ly/Hpgn8kO

Calderwood brings the Midas touch to Namibian copper play ✨  | There’s plenty of news flow on the horizon for explorer #MM1, writes journalist @KristieBatten for @RR_Stars. resourcesrisingstars.com.au/calderwood-bri…

@CarltonFC I try and stay positive but not sure how I can after that.

Can’t sugarcoat it: an extremely disappointing finish to the game. We go down by 23 points at the MCG. #AFLBluesDees

Scotiabank put together a solid long-term look at how the major #gold #miners have actually performed versus their original stated annual guidance on Cash Costs and AISC. These two scoreboard charts show just how tough the business really is. With all the variables in play (geology, costs, labor, weather, geopolitics and more) hitting guidance consistently is no easy feat but still doable, some better than others. 2026 will be no different from a challenge standpoint but I think if energy remains elevated these current 2026 cost guidance levels will be pressured. Across hundreds of guidance years the industry lands at a balance 1/3 beat, 1/3 meet, 1/3 miss split on both metrics. Bookmark this and revert back later. I’ll have these handy as the 2026 earnings season kicks in. The 2026 operating guidance summary (Pdn, CC, AISC) is also included as a baseline. What stands out? Any surprises? $GDX Charts / scoreboard courtesy of Scotiabank GBM. Refer to the Scotiabank report for more details. 🚜⚒🌎🇺🇸🇨🇦

@jtourzan I now turn down the hats as I have about 30 in my cupboard!

Dear mining execs. Make free swag great again. I can assure you that it’s better marketing than running an ad on Bloomberg.

Experts say copper is the way to play a market bounce back - so mining writer Kristie Batten has found an African copper explorer going places in a hurry. ow.ly/Iu9q50Yzubn @FireFly_Metals @AndeanSilver @KristieBatten
