Coffee with Samso Episode 147 is the second episode of the Exploration Discovery Series which is all about mineral exploration discoveries.
 
This episode of Coffee with Samso is all the Havieron discovery by Greatland Gold Plc. in 2018. It was a major success in where there is now a gold and copper mine nearing production stage.
 
According to the company's website, the project is currently in development under a Joint Venture with Newcrest Mining, Australia’s largest gold producer. Havieron is located just 45km from Newcrest’s Telfer mine. This allows the project to leverage Telfer’s existing infrastructure and processing plant to significantly reduce the project’s capital expenditure and carbon impact for a low cost pathway to development under an ore tolling arrangement.

According to the latest presentation from the company, the updated Probable Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource is in Figure 2.
 
The significance of these numbers is in the manner that the deposit was discovered. In many cases, investors are only looking at the results of a long journey of mineral exploration.

The journey for a discovery is never an overnight process. In reality, discoveries of any mineral deposit is minimum timeframe of years and development is usually in decades (including exploration and resource development).
 
The Coffee with Samso - Exploration Discovery Series is aimed at showcasing the discovery and also the more interesting parts of the exploration journeys. The insides of what happened and what did and could not happen that led to the discovery, for me is the fun part of the conversation.
 
The discovery of Havieron is one of the recent success that has come about because management kept the faith and applied the principals of mineral exploration. As an exploration geologist, the discovery of Havieron is one that excites me. The chase for discovery is one of the most satisfying feeling. The idea of setting up a company to source funding to chase the elephant deposits is high on my bucket list.
 
This is why I want to bring these stories onto the Samso platform so that the average investor out there can have the insights of the journey.
 
I hope you enjoy the video and get some sense of "excitement" that would have been in the room when Callum and his associates received the results from the drilling.
