1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,880
Righto money miners. 
The deal that's been talked 

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,280
about for bloody ever since 
money of mine was called Money 

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,960
of mine. 
Spartan and Remilius. 

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,840
It's finally happening, most 
likely announced today. 

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,280
And mate, with any bloody M&A 
and expansions that they're 

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,200
talking about, that means 
Quattro Project engineering, 

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,040
that freaking Dalgar Anger pace 
plant has got Quattro written 

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,680
all over it. 
Like who else builds a pace 

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,080
plant? 
I don't know, but there's one 

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,600
going in at Dalgar Anger I 
reckon, and Quattro are the team

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,040
to do it. 
And any other EPC shit that 

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,520
Remelius need to do as part of 
this Go Quattro. 

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,640
Is it a mega merger? 
It's a mega merger. 

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,920
Let's just. 
A mega merger in the Murchison. 

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,920
A mega merchison. 
I like what you do. 

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,880
I like it. 
What's the Murchison ratio on 

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,240
the deal? 
100% Murchison. 

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,520
Oh, go Jeremy Palmer and go 
Quattro. 

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,880
Oh love, it's right bloody 
you'll drop me, mate. 

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,640
Hold. 
On if we haven't. 

21
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,840
If we haven't given it away just
yet. 

22
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,760
I think we're only talking about
one thing today. 

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,320
I mean, we'll weave this one 
into a broader gold chat. 

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,680
Yeah, at the end. 
But this one is all about 

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,440
Remelius and Spartan. 
And I reckon we've waited years 

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,720
for this, Maddie. 
We were chatting about it 

27
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,640
earlier, I reckon as a plural on
that year. 

28
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,240
Well, I. 
Reckon I reckon we could have 

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,800
ripped AI through everything 
we've said for the last two 

30
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,800
years and just created an 
episode based on what's been 

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,360
said and what should be said. 
So anyway, we're gonna do it 

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,680
manual 'cause we're freaking old
school. 

33
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,000
I love that. 
Good to have you back on the 

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,760
show, JC. 
It's been a while. 

35
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,200
Nothing like a gold deal to 
bring me back to the table. 

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,920
Actually. 
Nothing like a Ding Ding Ding to

37
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,600
get us started from JC as well. 
I. 

38
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,800
I'm Remilia cannot believe that 
there is a deal between two 

39
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,960
goldies and you only hold one of
them just. 

40
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,200
The one yes, and we've got JD is
a Ding Ding on on Spartan. 

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,440
So yes, it sounds like it's 
finally. 

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,840
Happened so just delivering the 
good balanced outlook and not 

43
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,080
holding either. 
So good on you, Maddie. 

44
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,960
Oh I remember I bought Spartan 
at 22, sold at 40. 

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,120
Profit's a profit. 
Jesus Christ. 

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,760
Anyway, let's bloody RIP in the 
transformational combinations 

47
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,800
I'd actually got. 
There was the murmurs about it 

48
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,240
in Straight Talk on Friday that 
this was they were inking out 

49
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,600
the deal. 
I think it was Friday. 

50
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,360
It might have. 
Been yesterday. 

51
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,880
It was the talk at Rottnest 
apparently, that this was this. 

52
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,960
Yeah, this was buddy getting 
close and well, and to be 

53
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,520
honest, even like like the start
of last week before I changed my

54
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,200
mind. 
Like I honestly didn't think it 

55
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,000
well, I thought it was just 
gonna be too big of a swing for 

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,400
a Remelius to do and they would 
have looked at other things. 

57
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,800
But yeah, look at it become I 
think as you've written JD 

58
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,400
become abundantly clear that I 
guess cleansing the market on 

59
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,680
that mount magnet long term plan
was integral to this deal 

60
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,680
happening. 
And Remilius obviously pulled 

61
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,800
share price, pulled off a shit 
load and without the 340 mil 

62
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,800
cash that's Remelius are tipping
in for this deal, it'd be pretty

63
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,560
bloody close to a equal merger. 
It would have been Remelius 

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,760
would have had low 50s, but it's
end up they got a still have got

65
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,560
a bit over 60%. 
So JD, why don't you, being the 

66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,480
financial guru, take us through 
the deal and the key numbers 

67
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,240
here, mate? 
Well, we've got, we've got Ali 

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,240
on the show. 
So we're, we're blessed on the 

69
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,120
on the finance part with, with 
much more expertise than myself,

70
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,240
but I'll run through the, the 
headline numbers just to get us 

71
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,680
started in case people didn't 
see the, the deal. 

72
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,680
So you talked about there, 
Maddie, being that, that cash 

73
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,040
kicker, that's $0.25 for every 
share that you hold as a Spartan

74
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,680
shareholder. 
And you're also getting .6957 

75
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,920
Remelius shares. 
So at the at the 220 close price

76
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,440
that we saw on Friday, we're 
talking about an 11 percent 

77
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,920
premium to the last close on the
Spartan price or $1.78. 

78
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,920
It's trading like a bit a bit 
below that. 

79
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,480
And if you zoom out and look at 
the last month, it's about a 27%

80
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,800
premium. 
And like you say, Maddie 

81
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,240
massively altered by last week 
of trading. 

82
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,920
So we'll, we'll flash up on the 
screen now the last five days of

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,080
each of the respective stocks 
and how they looked. 

84
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,600
So over the week Remelius came 
off 18% and obviously they had 

85
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,440
that big material bit of news 
with the updated mine plan at 

86
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,600
Matt Magnet coming out. 
And then if you look at Spartan 

87
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,600
they they ran hard at a a bit of
a down day earlier in the week, 

88
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,600
but then ended up 7% for the 
week closing at $1.60. 

89
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,640
So very interesting to to piece 
that all together and you know, 

90
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,800
think about all the other bits 
and pieces that go to a deal 

91
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,600
coming together. 
Obviously you spoke about that, 

92
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,200
that article coming out over the
weekend that gave a bit of an 

93
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,120
inside lane and gave the heads 
up to everyone that it was, it 

94
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,480
was finally happening. 
But yeah, there's, there's a lot

95
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,600
to chew on there and we'll, 
we'll get into that more in, in 

96
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,640
the details in a moment. 
I'll just round off on a couple 

97
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,800
other details. 
You've got the top three 

98
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,320
shareholders other than Remelius
in Spartan saying they're going 

99
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000
to vote in favor of the deal, 
but a superior offer coming in 

100
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,320
so that they speak for about 19%
of Spartans register. 

101
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,480
You've got Tembo who were there 
back when the the recap happened

102
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,200
that you touched on Maddie 1832 
who came in throughout 2023 and 

103
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,240
then Fourth Sale who've also 
been there for quite some time. 

104
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,760
It's a scheme of arrangement to 
start with and we'll get into 

105
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,920
the deal structure as well. 
And the pro forma is creating a 

106
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,560
business that is capped at 4.2 
billion. 

107
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,720
So had this deal happened a 
couple years ago, Maddie, we 

108
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,320
wouldn't be talking about a 
number anywhere near that big. 

109
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,440
And you've still got 500 bucks 
in cash post the payout that you

110
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,120
mentioned, the $0.25 kicker per 
share. 

111
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,240
So the last bit of detail, which
I think is pretty cool is that 

112
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,640
Ramili said they would cancel 
their 19.9% shareholding in 

113
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,120
Spartan. 
So the alternative would have 

114
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,600
been for them to sort of hold 
them on, on treasury and kind of

115
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,760
spin them out in a kind of quasi
capital raise, which we have 

116
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,400
seen in in deals gone by. 
But they said they won't do that

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,920
given the strength of the 
balance sheet. 

118
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,720
So. 
Yeah. 

119
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,240
And I think I think the best, 
best way to get your head around

120
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,720
that, which I had to get my head
around it earlier, like it's 

121
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,920
they've effectively bought 20% 
of Spartan at, you know, lower 

122
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,200
prices. 
Spartan shares are going to end 

123
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,160
up being Remelia shares. 
So it's like a like a buyback. 

124
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,320
They've, they've essentially 
bought the shares a while back. 

125
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,200
The shares are cancelled and 
they're bought back and 

126
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,120
cancelled them is the way. 
Even even if you. 

127
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,960
They haven't lost the money, it 
just means that their this 

128
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,400
takeover offer is effectively 
for 80% and they've bought back 

129
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,120
20% in a. 
While for the money miners that 

130
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,080
listen to the episode on on Soul
Gold last week, you remember 

131
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
they did the deal with 
Cornerstone and for three years 

132
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,880
they just held those shares that
Cornerstone owed in them. 

133
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,840
Soul Gold just on treasury. 
They ended up selling them out 

134
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,800
to to Jiang Chi Copper last week
and that netted the company 18 

135
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,760
odd 1,000,000 bucks. 
And yeah, no new shares being 

136
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,960
issued, but shares that the 
company held in themselves. 

137
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,480
Yeah, that and I suppose they 
could have like, are you saying 

138
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,720
like effectively Remelius could 
have held on to the shares in 

139
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,960
treasury, then if the share 
price ripped up, they could have

140
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,760
block traded them to someone 
else and it would sort of be a 

141
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,840
profit. 
Could you read it that way? 

142
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,720
Yeah, it'd be, it'd be in effect
a, a raising of money for, for 

143
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,680
the company, kind of like, you 
know, Red 5 and and Silverlake 

144
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,080
was the other one we saw this in
that was sort of alluded to in 

145
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,720
the in the call earlier. 
And there's no new shares being 

146
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,680
issued, but the company is 
netting, you know, 20%. 

147
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,120
They're netting potentially 
hundreds of millions of dollars 

148
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,680
if they were to sell them. 
But you nailed it. 

149
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,160
It's like it's like a buy back 
in a way and just just cancel 

150
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,240
them, lower the the shares 
outstanding. 

151
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,720
Given you've got the balance 
sheet strength and you can fund 

152
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,160
all your other things still with
what you've got and the free 

153
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,600
cash flow that's going to come 
over this half year and into 

154
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,040
next year, then why not? 
Is that is that 500 million the 

155
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:28,160
pro forma based on today's? 
Now 31 December Cash. 

156
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,600
Cash and bullion, they're 
probably going to make frigging 

157
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,720
200 mil this quarter. 
Like based on like. 

158
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,520
Zetna said 250 free cash this 
half. 

159
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,520
Yeah, I was, I was surprised. 
I thought that was Anders 

160
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,080
because based on the gold price 
and what they made last quarter,

161
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,200
it's like in the yeah, I'll I'll
be interested to see. 

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,400
I think it I wouldn't be 
surprised if they make more just

163
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,240
because they printing a lot of 
freaking cash. 

164
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:56,240
And this is all in the all 
happening in the context of, you

165
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,800
know, a, a gold price that you 
know, just touched over US 3000 

166
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,560
an ounce as well over the last 
few days too. 

167
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:06,360
Yeah, Yeah. 
I think 4650 at the moment 

168
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,600
today, yes. 
But I think I did say that in a 

169
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:10,560
in a LinkedIn post from from 
someone. 

170
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,040
A a pending Remelius employee. 
We'll, we'll go. 

171
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:17,920
It's all right. 
Speaking. 

172
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaking of that, get in, get 
into the board, Maddie. 

173
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,520
Oh, so it is. 
We'll have a look. 

174
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Here it is. 
Two people coming over from 

175
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,560
Spartan Deanna Carpenter coming 
on as Ned and Simon Lawson, non 

176
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:36,720
executive deputy Chairman. 
So and there because there 

177
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,880
already is a non executive 
chairman Bob Vassey and Zeppe's 

178
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,120
going to retain the MD and CEO 
role. 

179
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,480
But I, I think it's probably 
also a function. 

180
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,640
It said in the in the scheme doc
that Mister Lawson's shares that

181
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,520
he gets in Remelius following 
this if it all goes through, 50%

182
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,640
of them will be escrowed. 
It didn't detail how long they 

183
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,440
will be escrowed for that. 
That's going to come out in the 

184
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,640
transaction booklet. 
So you could predicted he would 

185
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,120
remain at a minimum on the board
while those shares are escrowed 

186
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,760
and then if he chooses to do 
something else later on. 

187
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,960
But he is obviously going to be 
a part of this next phase. 

188
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,560
If he's getting a shit lighter 
Amelia's shares, he probably 

189
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,040
it's in his best interest to get
the best out of Remelia. 

190
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,600
And you know that talks about 
lifting the exploration budget. 

191
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,360
He said in the call that he 
wants to really look into the 

192
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,880
exploration potential of Mount 
Magnet around there and was also

193
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,640
pushed back on one of the 
comments about Penny finishing 

194
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,880
early, like essentially saying, 
look probably thinks there's a 

195
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,240
bit more potential there. 
So he's already bringing his 

196
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,640
bloody optimism into Remelius, 
it's called. 

197
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,680
Love to see it. 
It's. 

198
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:53,800
Good to see so. 
But at this stage, yeah, he's 

199
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,160
coming in to be a part of 
Remelius, so. 

200
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,160
Yeah. 
I mean non, non exec, you can 

201
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,080
kind of read into that as as you
sort of like. 

202
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,320
But yeah, he did. 
He did sort of speak to the the 

203
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,400
expiration angle which was which
was interesting. 

204
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:11,240
Right, Jodie, take us into the 
mechanism of this two stage 

205
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,240
deal. 
You'd say what do we call these 

206
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,400
deals? 
It's just. 

207
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,120
The dual dual transaction 
structure is is the words I 

208
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,960
wrote down that came to mind. 
I'm sure there's a more 

209
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,480
aesthetic kind of way of putting
it, but. 

210
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,520
The the the the fuck off the 
interloper deal. 

211
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,200
Steel structure, because I've 
sort of seen this before, JD, 

212
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,160
haven't we? 
In a totally different commodity

213
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:40,600
admittedly as well, but seems to
be a bit of a yeah, like Maddie 

214
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,760
said, a bit of a a new style 
sort of approach to the 

215
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,360
structure to sort of minimise 
interloper risk. 

216
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,520
These yeah, 100. 
Percent. 

217
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,640
The Azure structure inspired by 
by Gina Rinehart. 

218
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,560
So yeah, SQM and Azure was the 
first time we saw it when 

219
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:04,080
Maddie, you've fantastically 
called it at 3 bucks 52 to the 

220
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,600
cent. 
Yeah, you nailed it. 

221
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,600
They, they came in with that. 
They came in that structure 

222
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,080
where they they'd pay in the 
scheme 3 bucks 52. 

223
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,360
And if that fell through, they'd
have a backup 3 bucks 50 

224
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,800
takeover, which in their 
instance was an on market 

225
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,640
takeover. 
So very similar here, except 

226
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,160
that the backup is off market. 
In that scenario. 

227
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,560
I think it's interesting to to 
think about what happened 

228
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,120
afterwards. 
So you had Gina start buying a 

229
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,040
heap of shares on market like 
straight away. 

230
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,720
She got to 15% really quickly. 
In a matter of no time, she was 

231
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,280
up to 18 kind of percent. 
And then over two months, they 

232
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,880
were clearly working in the 
background. 

233
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,000
She teamed up with SQM. 
They came in in 5050 and 

234
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,200
launched another bid at 3 bucks 
70. 

235
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,760
So there was there was a few 
signals and that people might 

236
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,000
remember came off the back of 
Gina coming into the Lion Town 

237
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,400
deal. 
So that was the context that had

238
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,080
happened before and that kind of
butchered Albemarle's takeover 

239
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,280
of of Lion Town. 
So SQM didn't want that 

240
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,720
happening to their deal. 
They did what they could, but it

241
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,920
was a, it was a tough one. 
If you guys remember, there was 

242
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,200
a lot of shareholders in that 
sort of 10 to 20% range that had

243
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,120
a bit of a say in, in how things
proceeded. 

244
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,960
So there was a few signals from,
from SQM in, in doing that. 

245
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:29,320
Firstly, they, they anticipated 
interlopers. 

246
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,480
Secondly, that they had a, a 
willingness or maybe a 

247
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,520
realization that they would have
to work with partners, whether 

248
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,600
that be in the the ultimate 5050
structure. 

249
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,760
I'm not sure what exactly they 
were thinking that would look 

250
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,880
like in due course, but I think 
they were, they were kind of 

251
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,640
happy with with the outcome and 
they, they had a lot of strength

252
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,880
because they had almost 20% 
shareholding before and they had

253
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,080
something like 25% off take 
rights and and a few other bits 

254
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,640
and pieces. 
So they were they were sort of 

255
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,360
talking from a position of 
power, as is the case with 

256
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,080
Remelius here, right, 19.9% 
shareholders coming into it. 

257
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,560
So, yeah, you've, you've got 
those kind of dual, dual 

258
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,920
transaction structure for, for a
reason. 

259
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,400
And that's with the idea that an
interloper is probably 

260
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,800
interested in coming in and you 
just want to get as much and 

261
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,160
you're happy to get as much, 
even if that might not be 100% 

262
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:24,680
of the of the company. 
So yeah, I mean, in this 

263
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,960
instance, if this sort of goes 
through and I think the the 

264
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,000
outcome that Remilius want is 
that the, the scheme just goes 

265
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,240
through without a hitch. 
They get the votes they need, 

266
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,400
they wrap it up cleanly, they 
have 100% of the company and 

267
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,160
then they become the big fish in
that Murchison kind of pond with

268
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,960
a another sort of long away to 
deal potentially push down the 

269
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,880
the road a little bit. 
And I think the, the trigger for

270
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:53,880
this JD appears to be if, if 
anyone, if a third party comes 

271
00:14:53,880 --> 00:15:00,920
in and gains 15% or over of 
Spartan, that's the the main 

272
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,800
trigger which flicks it from 
this scheme of arrangement to an

273
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,760
off market takeover. 
So a. 100% you got the, the rest

274
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,880
are just like those, those 
standard kind of conditions. 

275
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,240
But if that 1 happens and 
someone takes up or a a company 

276
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,760
takes over 15% it, it flips over
to the other one, right? 

277
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,240
Yeah. 
And so it, it means Spartans 

278
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,120
like, it's not saying that they 
can't be there won't be 

279
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,240
interlopers like, but it there 
could be, but they will have to 

280
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,960
pay up for it. 
So I guess Spartan have still 

281
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,240
got the upside to potentially 
have someone come in over the 

282
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,360
top with this mechanism. 
And if that happened, that off 

283
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,920
market takeover would sit there.
But if there's a much superior 

284
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,000
proposal, people will won't 
accept the OP market takeover. 

285
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,920
So there there's still upside if
there is someone come in. 

286
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,520
I just don't yeah, it doesn't 
look like there is guarantee. 

287
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,000
I might see how myself look 
stupid if I they if someone does

288
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:05,600
come in look like a real Dick. 
Yeah but $2.4 billion implied 

289
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,200
price for Spartan. 
That's a pretty big swing for 

290
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,880
someone to come in and offer 2.7
or three to get it over the 

291
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,800
line. 
So. 

292
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,280
Yeah, so I, I mean, West Gold is
the the one that people will 

293
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,160
have on their mind. 
They're the only one really in 

294
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,640
in the area that could also get 
some sort of potential 

295
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,560
synergies. 
Before we kind of expand on 

296
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,600
that, it's worth just mentioning
that you've got the standard no 

297
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,800
shop, no torque, no DD 
obligations on, on Spartan, 

298
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,280
which makes it a bit harder for 
a potential interloper. 

299
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,600
They're they're doing that kind 
of blind in a way. 

300
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,400
You've got the break fee which. 
Was 24,000,000 bucks. 

301
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,360
They can't do DD effectively. 
Yeah, no, they've got to put an 

302
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,080
offer in without DD. 
Yeah, effectively that's how 

303
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,240
that's how it's sort of read 
you've got a you've got a break 

304
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,600
fee as well Maddie, which is 
relatively low. 

305
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,560
So standard is anywhere kind of 
between 1 and 4% of the, the, 

306
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,240
the value of the, the deal, the 
market caps of the companies. 

307
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,920
And here we're talking like near
that 1% kind of range, $24 

308
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,480
million. 
Yeah. 

309
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,400
Which I think was from memory 
was like Corolla or West Gold. 

310
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,160
And that that was like, was that
like 40 million or? 

311
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,599
That that, that was 40 and each 
and each company was half the 

312
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,640
size pretty much. 
So that was 4% of their 

313
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,160
respective market caps going 
into that deal. 

314
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,720
Yeah, so and like what, what's 
the time frame like it 

315
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,200
hypothetically, if it did flick 
to an off market takeover, 

316
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,960
what's the like this? 
This scheme looks to be 

317
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,360
implemented mid-july. 
What would an what could an off 

318
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:47,200
market takeover possibly take? 
What fucking ages? 

319
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,120
Well, it's yeah, it, it, it 
often gets, it's extended in, in

320
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:55,840
reality, in the, the docs you 
can see they've written open, I 

321
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,200
think 2020 days is the what they
kind of peg it at. 

322
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,960
But you often see that get get 
pushed as they want to, they 

323
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,600
want to get those numbers up 
right. 

324
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,360
And they want to, you know, 
they're not say somebody comes 

325
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:08,280
in, they're not going to get to 
compulsory because you need 90 

326
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,720
plus. 
That's that's a real piece of 

327
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,880
work. 
But you can push that up by 

328
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,960
extending it, extending it and 
encouraging people to, to, to 

329
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,000
take you up on that, right? 
Yeah. 

330
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,400
So anyway, it's looking like 
it's Yeah, they have to be. 

331
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,920
Something pretty crazy happened 
for an interloper to come in and

332
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,240
offer stupid money. 
But hey, gold prices are at 

333
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,960
stupid levels. 
You'd never know. 

334
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,320
Yeah, jeez. 
It about things interesting. 

335
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,920
And it about my our lives 
interesting to talk about it. 

336
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,200
Say, look, if you want to throw 
in an offer, I'd appreciate it. 

337
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,920
I'm not. 
Just just looking at the looking

338
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,920
at the share price, you know 
when the the market gets pretty 

339
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,640
excited about someone coming in 
over the top as well. 

340
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,000
Yeah, it often trades above the 
the beard. 

341
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,800
We haven't really seen that he 
sort of Ramili's share price 

342
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,880
came off a few cents and where 
Spartan sort of therefore 

343
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,440
trading is almost bang on, just 
a touch below par. 

344
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,800
About par, isn't it? 
Yeah. 

345
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,920
Yeah, 'cause I think Ramilius is
implied for them at based on 

346
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,920
them at 2:20 and now at 2:17 and
Spartan is trading at dollar 74.

347
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,800
So it's yeah, she's pretty bang 
on at the moment. 

348
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,560
Yeah, and and like in in that 
deal I spoke about with with 

349
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Gina, she started buying 
straight straight away. 

350
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,720
We've only seen like 35 last 
time I looked million shares 

351
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,440
traded near the end of trading 
today. 

352
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,360
So that that's well below 3% of 
the company's paper. 

353
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:31,760
You'd have to be going for a 
fair while to to to make 

354
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,400
something kind of happen bar the
the other three big shareholders

355
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,400
that I said holding about 19% 
come to your your side if you do

356
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,680
have a sort of superior proposal
for them. 

357
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,520
Yeah, got it's. 
I suppose we don't know what's 

358
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,040
going to happen with never, 
never yet. 

359
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,160
It's early, early days. 
It's not developed yet. 

360
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,280
They've just sort of getting 
close to I think mid year 

361
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,360
they're gonna be approaching 
like in line with never Never. 

362
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:02,080
So there's a, there's a lot to 
play out, but like how this has 

363
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,320
ended up so different to what 
could have been considering last

364
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,040
year Westgold, well, Remilius 
were having a swing at Korora. 

365
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,880
They were then also talking 
about merging with Westgold. 

366
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,480
Not not that time merging with 
Westcott would have discounted 

367
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,000
this happening anyway. 
But I would say if they ended up

368
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,920
with Corora and focusing on 
getting beta hunt going like 

369
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,360
this wouldn't have I couldn't 
have seen this happening as 

370
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:31,960
well. 
So it's all panned out very 

371
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,640
differently and on 1st pass. 
This is probably the best thing 

372
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,920
outcome for Emilius getting this
asset in their portfolio. 

373
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,560
Whether, you know, whether there
was a bit of bit of like, oh, 

374
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,000
look over here. 
So you start looking over here 

375
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,360
while I look over here. 
And this was the grand plan in 

376
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:50,880
the end. 
But yeah, it could have, could 

377
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,200
have ended up being a lot 
different. 

378
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,800
Yeah, I mean, they've they've 
had to give up a fair bit for 

379
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,000
it. 
It's. 

380
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,840
Well, not as like, yeah, not not
as much as I think I'd in the 

381
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,760
end it was going to be 5545 can 
or close to even a bit less. 

382
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:09,360
If it's going to be all the 
shares, cash components sort of 

383
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,520
swung a bit more in there and 
Ramilius's favour as far as the 

384
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,000
pro forma ownership. 
Yeah, and they'll, they'll make 

385
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,720
that cash before the deals done 
anyway. 

386
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,840
Oh. 
They're right. 

387
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,400
They're going, yeah. 
Yeah. 

388
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,520
So it's and it, but it 
significantly lowered increase 

389
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,600
their ownership of the the pro 
forma. 

390
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,160
So synergies we talk about 
synergies this one actually and 

391
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,560
we we will compare some what 
this means for the value of 

392
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,760
other goldies in the region by 
based on or in in Australia 

393
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,400
based on answers and projections
and all this. 

394
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,200
But you can you look at this and
you're like there is some 

395
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:49,520
genuine bloody synergies like 
geographically infrastructure 

396
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,000
like it is just it does make a 
lot of sense and like, hey, as 

397
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,960
you said, JD, they're given a 
bit away for it. 

398
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,880
But with that is coming the fill
in a big gap in that mount 

399
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:06,920
magnet outlook that they 
probably need and just delaying 

400
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,760
like not really having the 
pressure to put any capital into

401
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,280
Dalgaranga processing plant 
because they've got their own. 

402
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,560
Yeah. 
I mean this is probably correct 

403
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,600
me if I'm wrong, but it's 
probably the the first deal, a 

404
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,640
gold deal in a little while in 
in WA of this scale where we've 

405
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,760
actually seen these sort of 
geographical synergies. 

406
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,640
The last one that springs to 
mind was the Genesis with the 

407
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,240
Saint Brava sort of Gwalia 
assets. 

408
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,640
But then even yeah, like you 
said, Maddie, you know, I think 

409
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,320
Sparta was originally mid. 
You're going to put out a study 

410
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,640
on on Dalgrenko. 
Never, never. 

411
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,720
Now it looks like they're going 
to do worked with Remelius on 

412
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,280
like an integrated, you know, 
mount magnet, you know, study 

413
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,160
just because it just changes the
the landscape so much and what 

414
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,000
that actually looks like and the
and be interesting to see 

415
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,080
quantified what those 
geographical synergies could 

416
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,640
represent. 
Yeah, yeah. 

417
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,640
It's it's so essentially if you 
were saying it's the first gold 

418
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,880
deal that's made sense since we 
started the show Genesis. 

419
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,760
Not necessarily made sense. 
I guess some geographical sense,

420
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,840
yeah, Yeah, geographical, yeah. 
Because some have been more 

421
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,360
acquiring. 
I think we were talking about it

422
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:35,160
early today, like some we've 
seen have been acquiring more 

423
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,320
new hubs. 
Yeah. 

424
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,120
And yeah, this is yeah. 
As far as a, you know, in the 

425
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:43,400
same neighborhood, yeah, it's 
been been a little while 

426
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,400
especially of of of this scale 
too. 

427
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,640
So, which is very, very cool. 
Yeah, right. 

428
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,760
Let's go. 
I guess look at what this what 

429
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,480
they're saying this pro forma is
going to look like. 

430
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,800
Yeah, I mean, how cool is it to 
see a deal with with genuine 

431
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,560
synergies? 
It's it's awesome. 

432
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,280
And they haven't put numbers to 
it to your point, Ali yet, but I

433
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,480
would bet these numbers would be
materially better than some of 

434
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,800
the other ludicrous kind of 
synergistic numbers we saw on, 

435
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,120
on other deals. 
So very keen to see what that, 

436
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,880
that integrated study that you 
you spoke to there looks like it

437
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,520
also takes the the pressure off 
Rebecca Rowe. 

438
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,600
So we spoke about it last week, 
Maddie, with that big drop off 

439
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,320
in production, the sort of 
production gap that everyone 

440
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,760
kind of speaks to with Remelius 
coming after next year, it's 

441
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,760
probably a bit too soon to fix 
FY20 6 materially. 

442
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:41,480
But between then an FY30 there, 
there was a bit of a lull in, in

443
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,960
the numbers on Remelius's front.
And this will, this will fill 

444
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,760
the gap. 
They're pretty handily. 

445
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,920
And they're, I mean, they're 
speaking by the end of the year 

446
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,880
wanting to start sending Oz up 
the road. 

447
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,040
That sort of spoke to the 
conditions of that road. 

448
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,840
It's sort of 65 odd kilometers 
that I think in time they'll 

449
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,440
probably, they'll probably seal 
up. 

450
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,800
He, he spoke to that Zetna on 
the call. 

451
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,520
Right now it's just a gravel 
road and they've actually 

452
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,200
trucked on it in, in the past 
going going beyond it. 

453
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,240
So yeah, a bit to be done. 
But that integrated study should

454
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,560
come out by December or that 
final quarter of this calendar 

455
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,560
year, which should be pretty 
cool to see and to to see what 

456
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,800
kind of scale they go with each 
plant. 

457
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Like you said, they're Maddie. 
They came up with this plan 

458
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,840
going 2 1/2 to 3 million tons at
Mount Magnet. 

459
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:33,000
You've got 2 1/2 at, at 
Dalgaranga, 70 million bucks had

460
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,960
been earmarked in the latest 
Spartan Rays and I think a few 

461
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,120
long lead items would have 
already been ordered there. 

462
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:40,800
But they're going to pull the 
foot right off that CapEx on 

463
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,000
that front and reassess things 
which is which is pretty 

464
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,360
appropriate. 
And in due course, by FY30, they

465
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:52,120
want to be doing 500,000 oz, 
which is, that's a, that's a 

466
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:54,960
pretty big year, you know, and 
that kind of implies that we're 

467
00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:00,680
getting beyond 200,000 oz from 
from never, never slash pepper, 

468
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,440
which is, which is chunky. 
I mean, that year had only a bit

469
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,320
over 100,000 oz coming from the 
mount magnet area. 

470
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,480
So that's a, that's a lot of 
upside. 

471
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,240
And then obviously that the, the
piece being fitted in there as 

472
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,000
well was Rebecca Row for 150. 
So Maddie, what, what do you, 

473
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,240
what do you kind of reckon? 
I know you looked kind of deeply

474
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,560
at the actual production side of
things where they're going to 

475
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,640
send oz. 
You know what? 

476
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,040
What do you think that that 
looks like in the in the nearer 

477
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,840
term? 
Yeah, it was it was on your 

478
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,120
comment about the 200,000. 
You don't you don't get T Mac on

479
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:37,600
the investigators too often. 
But he he pretty much said, oh, 

480
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,760
I just want to hear you say it. 
You're effectively saying you're

481
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,720
going to get over 200,000 oz out
and never never and pepper 

482
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:50,200
because it's it's exactly what 
you what you said it's if 

483
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,600
they're going to have 350 out of
the hub. 

484
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,200
The only thing that's been added
in at the moment is down to 

485
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,080
Ranga into the study they put 
out last week. 

486
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:09,440
So like to get 200,000 oz, you 
know, that's that's about that's

487
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,760
1.4 million tonne of 4 1/2 
grams. 

488
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,160
That's that's 200,000 oz. 
So looking at and I'll get on to

489
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,680
where where they're going to 
send it. 

490
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:22,000
How good was it straight away? 
Sorry to interrupt scans, just 

491
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,960
saying can can you pull that 
forward or can you, can you kind

492
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,200
of go overs on on the 500 the 
first time they've mentioned it?

493
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:35,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
They're advising them how good. 

494
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:40,280
But yeah, that's it's all a 
function of and I'll bring up 

495
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,200
the the picture of the ore body 
here. 

496
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,000
Like and they said they're not 
going to it's going to be about 

497
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,480
two years before they get to 
this the the the honeypot where 

498
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,560
you got the increased strike 
length of the top of top of 

499
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,200
pepper and never, never 
together. 

500
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,080
And that's going to be that's 
when they will need to be in 

501
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,920
that area. 
And I would anticipate a lot of 

502
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:06,960
other areas to really get to get
1.4 or around that sort of those

503
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,640
tonnages out of out of dagger 
angle. 

504
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,120
Like, you know, they've got 
they've got plenty of options, 

505
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:17,560
Like you got you got W West 
winds, you've got potentially 

506
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,080
the freak area. 
You got. 

507
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,280
What's the bloody one way? 
I probably should actually sly 

508
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,480
fox, sly fox and four pillars 
and all that. 

509
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,160
But that that stuff might come 
out earlier. 

510
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,400
Who knows? 
But that's, that's sort of what 

511
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,800
they're what they're heading to 
like because at the up the top 

512
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,640
there where it's only like the 
first bit they get into that 

513
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,280
they'll start tracking this 
year. 

514
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,640
That's probably only like it's 
about 100 meter strike length. 

515
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,240
So like rough mass, 100 meter 
strike length, 15 meter wide 

516
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,680
stops because it is a bit 
thicker, the 25 meter level 

517
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,400
spacing, that's only 100,000 
tonne of ore per level. 

518
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,080
So it's not like they're not 
going to be getting heaps out of

519
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:01,360
that initially. 
So, but who knows by FY30 lot 

520
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,200
what the else they're going to 
pick up in the region lot there.

521
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,960
There's so much frigging 
drilling and stuff going on up 

522
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,600
in the Murchison at the moment. 
And I would imagine on an 

523
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:17,560
expanded processing hub that'll 
be who knows what's going to be 

524
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,160
in the portfolio by them. 
But they they've got ample 

525
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,080
options and that and they've 
clearly started in the call. 

526
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,720
They've got to run a shit load 
of scenarios to see what the 

527
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:32,840
best paying for buck for the 
shareholders are for the capital

528
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,320
spend. 
So you could, your basic options

529
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,160
are expand the living shit out 
of Mount Magnet Lion, like to go

530
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,880
from 3 to 4 million tonne, like 
you got a it's a big step change

531
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,720
because you're probably going to
need it's not not the matter of 

532
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,920
like probably needing bigger 
piece of equipment. 

533
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,000
You might need multiple pieces 
of equipment like you might need

534
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,880
multiple ball mills and and 
things like that. 

535
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,800
So is that like a bit of an 
inflection point where you like 

536
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,880
you hit a certain level and it's
not like linear, it's like, OK, 

537
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,600
now you got to step up X amount 
like it's not proportionate. 

538
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:11,040
Yeah, you can buy ball mills so 
big is my understanding. 

539
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,440
So you might need multiple 
pieces of kit. 

540
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,200
So like they can either make 
mount magnet as big as possible,

541
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,200
like expand that to say 4 
million tonne. 

542
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,720
They look and they've got you've
got the existing infrastructure 

543
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,480
at Dagarango. 
And when they talk about the two

544
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,440
and a half million tonne 
capacity there, that's a 

545
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,080
function of the mostly the 
crusher size and the big sag 

546
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,400
mill they've got, but trading 
harder all which they're going 

547
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,040
to do though I would say they 
would have to put in a ball mill

548
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,720
as well. 
And like they were talking about

549
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,640
putting a thickener in and all 
that, so. 

550
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,680
Well, that's what I was going to
ask you actually. 

551
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:53,440
I was just curious like, you 
know, that that meal, the the 

552
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,840
purpose that meal was originally
established for, I guess, which 

553
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,680
was, you know, all these sort of
open hits, right? 

554
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,680
You know, now you know that 
you've got this never, never. 

555
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,480
And those sort of other areas 
that are underground hard or I 

556
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,840
guess it's, I was wondering like
that trade off between, you 

557
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:20,560
know, optimizing an existing 
mill that maybe for that new 

558
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:26,200
type of ore versus trucking it 
to somewhere else that's not too

559
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,240
far away, but expanding that 
capacity. 

560
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,720
I imagine that would all be part
of their scenario analysis for 

561
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:34,600
that, right? 
Yeah. 

562
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,000
And then when that was first 
built like it was there was 

563
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,320
always the plan to put a ball 
meal in later for when they it 

564
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,400
was just initially designed to 
trade all the open pit material.

565
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,320
Then once they got deeper and 
went underground, they would 

566
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:51,400
have added added to the plant to
treat the to grind the harder 

567
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,960
all so it would have was always 
in the plan. 

568
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,120
It just, it just never got to 
that point because. 

569
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,080
At that time, yeah. 
Because of the unfortunate 

570
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,560
downfall of gas coin, So 
advantage of maybe potentially 

571
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:08,240
not expanding mount magnet as 
much and then also and refurbing

572
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,960
Dalgaranga. 
It means it means you've got 2, 

573
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,280
you've got 2 separate mills. 
You don't have to truck the 

574
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,520
Spartan dirt. 
It means when you got to shut 

575
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,200
down at mount magnet, you could 
truck all your dirt to 

576
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,640
Dalgaranga and vice versa. 
And like keep you got you're 

577
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,200
always processing. 
You don't have those down 

578
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,360
periods, but then you need two 
processing crews like you got 

579
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:35,960
extra, extra manpower to run 2 
mills because I assume with like

580
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,440
all the the services that 
support a meal like you don't to

581
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,120
go from say 2 million to 4 
million tonne in a mill. 

582
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,000
You don't need double the people
there because it's like a lot of

583
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,560
that. 
It just means you got bigger 

584
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,280
more capital outlay, but you 
just got bigger equipment doing 

585
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,360
a lot more work. 
So there's, that's going to be 

586
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,960
part of the scenario a lot the 
trade off between extra capital 

587
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,920
at Mount Magnet and trucking the
ore at a lower processing cost 

588
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,920
versus not tracking the Dagger 
Angur ore. 

589
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:12,800
And because you know, 60 like 1 
/ 1,000,000 tonne at 65 K is 

590
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,800
like it, it freaking costs a lot
of money. 

591
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,440
Like could be like 1520 cents at
TKM. 

592
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,200
So that's gonna be well. 
And then like break a day. 

593
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,880
I don't know if there's a road 
going from break a day. 

594
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,000
They could probably if it's 
quicker to easier to get that to

595
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,720
Dalgaranga instead of checkers 
just sort of optimising. 

596
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,400
Where to go? 
I guess the other scenario to 

597
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,320
throw in the mix there, and I'm 
not sure how feasible this is, 

598
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:43,160
is would you keep the existing 
magnet infrastructure that 

599
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:49,320
Remelius has and repurpose the 
and you know, optimise it for a 

600
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:54,520
combined production profile with
the Dalgarenga or and repurpose 

601
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,240
the Dalgarenga meal for Rebecca,
right? 

602
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,840
Could like, is it as easy to 
actually move it? 

603
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,560
Like, is that actually, am I 
talking out of my arse or is 

604
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,400
that a feasible thing to 
actually do? 

605
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,840
Yeah, yeah. 
Well, they can I. 

606
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:13,080
Know you can you can you can 
move your your grinding 

607
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:17,120
circuits, I think relatively not
easily, but like I think you can

608
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,520
like I don't know if the if they
could move the sag mill like I 

609
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,280
think I don't know if you can 
dismantle crush it. 

610
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,560
I think I think leach tanks and 
stuff are a bit hard 'cause 

611
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,000
they're like full on concrete 
booted into the. 

612
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,840
Ground like I. 
Think it it can be done and like

613
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,719
moving it and unbolting and 
things like they can get 

614
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,920
deformed and stuff like I think 
it all can be done but by the 

615
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,639
time you truck it and everything
sometimes it like the cost of 

616
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:43,960
that and the dismantling like 
it's the trade off of being. 

617
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,600
Between. 
Putting a new one in. 

618
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,239
But there's there is 
opportunity. 

619
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,239
I'm sure there is some bits of 
kit you can take. 

620
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,040
But when you're building a whole
friggin mill, like there's still

621
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,719
gonna be the outlay. 
So of course, yeah. 

622
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,400
So and as I said there, it's 
knowing what future bits of dirt

623
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,640
are gonna go where go in, in the
future in the in the region. 

624
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,800
Like they're not gonna really, 
if there's some, you know, a few

625
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,560
100,000 tonne of oxide material 
they can get a hold of in the 

626
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,560
region, I'm sure they're going 
to take it and they open 

627
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,280
themselves up to all purchase 
agreements and everything. 

628
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,520
I think they, I think this deal 
we'll talk about in a lot. 

629
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,720
You mentioned W Guild. 
Like I think now that they've 

630
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:29,960
got, if they're going to have 
Dalgar anger in the portfolio 

631
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,960
and the infrastructure there. 
So it's really taken away a lot 

632
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,920
of synergies with W Guild that 
they would have been looking at 

633
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,840
as part of a merger last year. 
I don't. 

634
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:44,760
I just like essentially Tucker 
Bianna is not needed now if 

635
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,760
they've got Dalgaranga there 
that if they could spend a bit 

636
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,560
of capital to create a hub 
there. 

637
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:54,640
So like Tucker, Bianna, Big 
Bell, not really needed for them

638
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,000
now. 
Like they they would get the 

639
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,840
Bluebird mill, put it like great
Fingal, then Starlights 

640
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,040
Fortnum's on its own. 
So yeah, I don't don't see them.

641
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,520
Yeah, I think West Gold are on 
their own now. 

642
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,800
And this is the whole Remelius 
and West Gold thing won't ever 

643
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,440
be a thing now. 
Yeah, and on. 

644
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,720
Moving the mill like there's a 
lot of tons to to get through in

645
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:22,600
in mount magnet sort of broader 
area like Eridanus stage 3 alone

646
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,120
is 24,000,000 tons. 
You've got another 11 at Q and 

647
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,080
they're sort of broader other 
magnet. 

648
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,840
What they sort of grouped 
together is 40 million plus 

649
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,800
tons. 
So I think there's a lot of use 

650
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,680
from having the meal there and I
wouldn't anticipate that being 

651
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,480
moved. 
No, no, I think, I think it's. 

652
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:42,680
I think it's pretty clear cut. 
It would either be unless I 

653
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,400
picked up a fucking shit load of
ground in the region, it's 

654
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:50,840
either going to be a 3,000,000 
tonne or 2 1/2 to 3,000,000 

655
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,680
tonne mill at Mount Magnet, 
which was part of their original

656
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:58,600
expansion and reefer Dalgaranga 
and sort of trade them both, 

657
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,920
optimise them, yeah. 
And like I said. 

658
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,720
They can still get all the 
tonnes from the mount magnet. 

659
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:10,360
The aerodynas cut back through 
or just upsize mount magnet to 4

660
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,640
million tonne. 
Do the instead of just 

661
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,040
completely disregard Dalgaranga 
and just send everything there. 

662
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,400
So I think that's going to be 
what the decision, what the 

663
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:24,120
decision pending would be. 
I don't see many other scenarios

664
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:30,880
or or or though or they won't 
expand mount magnet at all and 

665
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:36,640
create a, you know, 1 1/2 mil or
one and a half million tonne mil

666
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:41,440
at Dalgaranga. 
So yeah, three options I think. 

667
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,520
So we will wait and see. 
Bloody exciting, love it. 

668
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:52,000
What else is Oh, the 
interesting, interesting 

669
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:55,920
underground mining thing that no
one else would care about unless

670
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,440
you're an underground miner. 
Is the the contract up there? 

671
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,560
So bar Minkow currently at 
Dalgaranga, they're doing the 

672
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,640
juniper decline. 
They just got extended for 

673
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:13,200
another 1000 metres after like 
the initial, I think it was 

674
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,440
1200. 
They got initially something 

675
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:16,720
like that. 
Anyway, they got given another 

676
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:21,240
thousand and that's scheduled to
finish about pretty much around 

677
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:25,760
the same time that this scheme 
would be implemented mid-july. 

678
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,560
So and you look at the actual 
scheme docs, it says like 

679
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:33,600
Spartan's obligations with 
Remelius during this period 

680
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,440
before it's implemented is that 
they must consult Remelius in 

681
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,840
regards to the contract award 
processes for the underground 

682
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,160
mining services for a contract 
that exceeds 12 months. 

683
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:51,120
So bar Minko went in extremely 
cheap for this exploration 

684
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,280
decline on the once you're 
there, hopefully on the proviso 

685
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,120
you get the first look in and 
you're already there for the the

686
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,720
ultimate production and 
development contract. 

687
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,640
But Burncard have the contract 
with Remilius at Mount Magnet 

688
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,120
and they just signed that 
recently for another 3 1/2 

689
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,880
years. 
And part of that contract, I 

690
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,080
don't think it's definite is the
potential break of day 

691
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,640
underground. 
So are there contractors 

692
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,000
synergies? 
So now that this deal's 

693
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:27,320
happening, will Remilius look to
secure the same contractor for 

694
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,040
all operations? 
There's probably not like 

695
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,560
considering it's what 65 K's 
away I think from Mount Magnet. 

696
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,960
It's not, it's, it's hard to, 
you can sort of swap gear around

697
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,400
if you needed to in emergencies 
or people and send them to 

698
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,400
different operations. 
But considering the size of it 

699
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,280
in the separation distance, they
probably are standalone 

700
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,120
contracts. 
So there's probably not like if 

701
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,720
there is contractor synergies 
and you could say maybe have one

702
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:58,360
project manager for two of it, 
like or less management to cover

703
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,800
both. 
Like Remelius would save money 

704
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,360
that way. 
But I think they'd probably 

705
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,720
still be standalone contracts, 
but you as a, you as a. 

706
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,080
Yeah. 
And you as a bigger company as 

707
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,800
well, you know, naturally have 
more sway over your, your 

708
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,560
contractors and your suppliers, 
whatever they might be 

709
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,800
supplying, you know, when you're
a bigger entity. 

710
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,400
Yeah. 
So I think it just got a. 

711
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,800
Bit more competitive for 
Barminco anyway on the contract 

712
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,040
I definitely agree with you. 
There, mate, Yeah, and that and 

713
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:26,960
that'll be. 
Probably. 

714
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,840
I would assume that it'd have to
be and because I'll be wondering

715
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,040
if they've signed, they're going
to be at the ore bringing out 

716
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,840
all by the end of the year out 
and never, never. 

717
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,080
That means that contract will 
have to be sorted out soon 

718
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,000
because they're not going to 
leave a low period between when 

719
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,480
Bar Minko's one finishes. 
So right now that's the next big

720
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,360
contract and the best thing 
about when contract tenders are 

721
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,680
going around, they're all like 
Nah, Oh yeah, Bar Minko's got 

722
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,280
it. 
And then you're another like Nah

723
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,840
mate, oil burn cuts got it, Nah,
they've got it. 

724
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,560
I reckon they've got it. 
Oh I love it, love it, love it. 

725
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,920
Great pub talk. 
Oh mate, didn't think of the 

726
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,120
bloody thing of the pub talk 
about when they're seeing 

727
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,800
frigging Sambic grand sport 
trucks flying up the Murchison. 

728
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,480
They're Sambic are making the 
Murchison great again. 

729
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,240
They're just going to be feeding
bolts into this underground 

730
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:22,080
might that they it's. 
Oh, I've just, I I cannot wait 

731
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,920
to see it. 
Anyone sees the Sandvik ground 

732
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,000
sports truck driving up the 
merch? 

733
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,520
So I assume they've swapped the 
DSI logo for Sandvik logos 

734
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:30,800
probably by now. 
Yeah, Yeah. 

735
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,960
You'd think so. 
Buddy, get a get a photo of us 

736
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,880
there bloody that mount magnet 
Mill's just gonna be there's 

737
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,920
gonna be Sandvik split sets and 
mesh and everything just flying 

738
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,680
through that. 
The magnets are gonna be picking

739
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,520
them all up after they've done 
their job of making the ground 

740
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,160
safe. 
And if, mate, if you want to get

741
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,160
rid of the friggin the mesh and 
the friggin bolts before it goes

742
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,440
in there and just make the awe 
nice and pretty, you know Mozzy 

743
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,280
up there Mozzy's contract miles 
contracting. 

744
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,880
They they can remove your once 
Sandvik have done their job. 

745
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,960
Mozzy can make it look pretty 
for you as well. 

746
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,720
The bloody, the the awe cleaner,
making the merchants and great 

747
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:08,960
again. 
I love it. 

748
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Couple other notes, a couple of 
other notes from the calls, 

749
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,240
buddy, What did we get? 
Oh, tax losses. 

750
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:21,000
Apparently they're now the 
benefit to Remelius is a lot of 

751
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,840
the tax losses that are 
contained within Spartan that 

752
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,480
were brought in by the gas coin 
dice. 

753
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,200
So Remelius because they're 
making money, heaps of money now

754
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,800
they're paying tax which would 
which would piss them off. 

755
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,880
So it sounds like a lot of the, 
the infrastructure at Dalgaranga

756
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,480
can be used as depreciation for 
Remelius. 

757
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,880
So that'll that'll come in. 
So there's a bit of bit of 

758
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,720
offsetting to do there. 
So, Matty. 

759
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:50,560
What? 
What? 

760
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,840
I think you've gone. 
On the you've mentioned that two

761
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,840
coat seal. 
They've got a Chuck on Chuck on 

762
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,400
that road. 
Whatever bloody 2 coat 2 coat 

763
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,560
seal. 
Does that mean it's bitchman? 

764
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,600
Nah, must be just they can ask 
me in raise. 

765
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:04,880
Yeah, that's about it. 
What? 

766
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,920
What else? 
JD mate, You, you, you. 

767
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,680
Did a bit of digging on how this
deal and the valuation of this 

768
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,200
deal reflects on the rest of the
the goldies. 

769
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,280
So I think it's worth kind of 
flicking through, you know, the 

770
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,960
the more or less stand alone 
groups, the Bellevue's of the 

771
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,080
world kind of Pantoro catalysts 
sort of come to mind. 

772
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,040
A lot of them have had, you 
know, Bellevue excluded pretty 

773
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,400
good runs of late given given 
the gold price movement. 

774
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,320
What did you sort of what did 
you sort of come to in in that 

775
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:35,600
analysis you did? 
Yeah. 

776
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,640
And like we're we're. 
Thinking of, OK, this is we're 

777
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,920
inferring that OK, they're 
pretty much saying Dalgarang is 

778
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:49,680
going to add at least 200,000 
ounces to FY30 and they've paid 

779
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,280
2.4 billion implied price for 
it. 

780
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,680
So we're like right, what is 
that? 

781
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,320
What does that mean for everyone
else? 

782
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,720
And that as I said, I'll caveat 
that with that point, $2.4 

783
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:02,800
billion is backed by some 
genuine geographical and 

784
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,880
infrastructure synergies. 
So that's like whether what what

785
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,480
they're valued at, I don't know.
But and we're doing, we're doing

786
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,000
pretty. 
Rough analysis not not just 

787
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,760
focusing too much. 
And they're. 

788
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,880
And they're. 
Bringing in they're bringing in 

789
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,520
some exploration now as well. 
Like I think the fact that 

790
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,920
they're gonna really amp up the 
exploration spend and bring in 

791
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:31,400
that, you know, technical you 
can say like God, you can't you 

792
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,680
got a compliment Spartan in the 
job they've done. 

793
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:39,880
They've 17X that share price in 
a couple of years, like less 

794
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,680
than a couple of years done it. 
And so that's getting a bit of 

795
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,520
that expertise in Ramilius. 
That's just adds to it as well. 

796
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,520
So. 
But look, it's been a hell of a 

797
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:50,200
run. 
Yeah. 

798
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,560
And like, yeah. 
I, I think it is making bloody 

799
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:58,800
Bellevue look interesting at at 
these prices cause like their, 

800
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,440
their market cap is 1.7 bill. 
So remember that we're, we're 

801
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:07,360
valuing this Spartan that 
they're valued at 2.4, 

802
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,400
Bellevue's 1.7. 
They've got 100 mil of debt, 80 

803
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,600
mil cash and a head. 
But the hedge book is 390 mil 

804
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,800
out of the money. 
So that gives them an EV of 2.1 

805
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:22,120
billion. 
They're based on their, what 

806
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,760
they're saying is what they're 
predicting. 

807
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:30,120
They're two quarters away from 
hitting the 200,000 oz run rate 

808
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,760
is what they're what they're 
predicting if they execute. 

809
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,800
But the ground, ground is pretty
hard at Spartan from what I 

810
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,160
hear. 
Not it doesn't sound like it's 

811
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,720
Bellevue hard. 
So, but it is hard. 

812
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:42,960
It's not like cream digging and 
they're gonna fly through it. 

813
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,560
And look, I didn't anticipate 
the capital and operating costs 

814
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,680
for the underground development 
at Spartan will be a lot lower 

815
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,560
than Bellevue. 
Just just as a function of the 

816
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:58,240
layout of the ore bodies and you
know, be a be a lot of jockeying

817
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:01,160
of power vent and pumping and 
everything like that. 

818
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,800
It's not as spread out. 
So probably a bit back better 

819
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,520
bang for buck per meter. 
But look, the Bellevue are 

820
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,600
already like this is 200,000 
ounces is still years away at at

821
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,480
this operation and 200,000 
ounces of Talgaranga will be a 

822
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,920
bit of a stretch in, in my 
opinion. 

823
00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:22,320
But you know Bellevue, well, 
they're currently producing. 

824
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,680
It's all. 
Yeah, they're they're. 

825
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,320
Nearly there right now and all 
the infrastructure, the a lot of

826
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:31,640
the capital's being sunk to get 
there and they're cheaper than 

827
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,480
cheaper than Spartan. 
So like this quarter, I think 

828
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:40,200
coming up, which like say next 
month or they're they're they're

829
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,560
back quarter weighted. 
I think they're saying Bellevue,

830
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,920
but like they're so the next 
quarter if they hit the low 

831
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:50,360
30,000 oz, that's probably a 
cash flow break even for them. 

832
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:55,320
Maybe maybe a bit negative. 
Hopefully, you know, like 4600 

833
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,640
odd buck gold price is really 
freaking helping them. 

834
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,840
They'd be, you know, a lot of 
bloody hurt there, but they 

835
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:04,120
don't have to truck their dirt. 
They're they're sort of 

836
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:07,920
approaching that inflection 
point possibly if they execute. 

837
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,880
So yeah, that's when you put 
them side by side. 

838
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,480
It's like well is have they ever
paid for Spartan or is Bellevue 

839
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,560
cheap at 2.1 billion? 
I guess on the trucking side of.

840
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,960
Things that's assuming that it 
get it. 

841
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:26,520
They truck to this is Spartan or
Remilius, you know, decides to 

842
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:30,560
truck that Dale Garang off from 
Dalgaringa to mount Magnet as 

843
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,600
opposed to using the nearby 
mill. 

844
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,560
That's Yeah, but yeah, but you 
still have to put. 

845
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,120
The capital, but yeah, yeah. 
So it's. 

846
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,000
Either the trucking or the sort 
of the money you're putting into

847
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,800
the refurbishment of that and 
and two years of. 

848
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,800
All the capital underground 
leadingment into that 200,000 oz

849
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,840
which is a lot a lot of money. 
So yeah, I think them side by 

850
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,320
side is very interesting. 
But they're these answers 

851
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,840
they're getting out of Spartan. 
They're unhedged like they're 

852
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,320
they're not got full upside of 
the gold to the gold price. 

853
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,120
Pantoro is another one. 
Yep, everyone's going for 

854
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:05,680
200,000 oz. 
It's easy. 

855
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,040
It's good round Number, so it's 
an easy one to compare. 

856
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,840
They're they're talking about 
getting a 200,000 oz by Fr 28. 

857
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,360
They're over. 
Just they're they're over 1 

858
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,120
billion market cap, bang on 
around 1 billion again, probably

859
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,520
a lot higher costs than Dalgar 
angle a lot, a lot of narrow 

860
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,960
vine and and everything but 
existing plant. 

861
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,760
They're in the process of 
replacing the open pit feed with

862
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,760
underground feed. 
Got 120 mil cash only got that 

863
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:36,080
US 12 and a half million con 
note, but you know, EV of 900 

864
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,680
mil. 
So I think they're looking 

865
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,240
interesting side by side 
catalysts, as you mentioned, JD,

866
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:48,480
but they've nearly 6X in a year,
but like still they're it's 

867
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,520
probably a function of shares on
issue. 

868
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,920
They're still what are they just
below a bill or they're no, 

869
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,880
they've just cracked a bill 
market cap debt free unhedged 

870
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,720
FY20 7. 
They're forecasting 200,000 oz. 

871
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:06,640
So all these 200,000 oz numbers 
are coming well before Spartan 

872
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,600
they're gonna release the 
Dalgaranga's gonna release 

873
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:15,720
potentially get 200,000 oz there
and their mill is underfilled. 

874
00:49:15,720 --> 00:49:19,760
So for the 1.8 million tonne per
annum mill at Platonic, it's 

875
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,680
only getting 1.2 through it at 
the moment. 

876
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,280
So they've just hit first door 
at Platonic. 

877
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,240
EI think they got that it's AK 2
or something they've just 

878
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:32,040
started developing yeah down 
into that so and yeah again 

879
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,320
under half the half the implied 
price of what they're paying for

880
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,320
Spartans the answers so yeah I 
think when you put them side by 

881
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,560
side it's yeah you don't know 
you don't have a pain or are 

882
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,400
they the other ones cheap yeah I
think I'd add a. 

883
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,240
Couple of things, Matty. 
Firstly, on the on the value 

884
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:52,920
that Remilius is paying for. 
Spartan. 

885
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:55,720
Pretty much 20% of that, they 
didn't. 

886
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,440
They're not paying. 
They've paid for in the past, 

887
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,600
but that was sort of at half the
share price of today in in a 

888
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,440
way. 
So you could say 2 point. 

889
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,240
Two like effectively because 
they're nearly. 

890
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:07,360
I can't really know what 
they're. 

891
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:08,760
Exactly. 
Paid, yeah. 

892
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,240
And then you've also got the the
cost side of it, which is like 

893
00:50:13,240 --> 00:50:15,320
the the big one we haven't 
mentioned. 

894
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,200
But just looking at those kind 
of forecasts on for instance, 

895
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:24,160
catalyst FY25 sort of 2400 bucks
an ounce all in sustaining cost 

896
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:29,400
FY20 6, 2200 and that kind of 
maintains or they try to pull 

897
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,560
that down over the years ahead. 
So cash flows all that matters 

898
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,480
at the end of the day. 
And we'll kind of see what what 

899
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,120
it comes out at for, for Spartan
hoping that that higher grade 

900
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,400
obviously that that grade is 
kind of comparable in a way with

901
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,800
with Bellevue. 
And you would expect those two 

902
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,720
because of that to have pretty 
competitive costs. 

903
00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:53,960
But yeah, we'll see them. 
We'll see them get there first. 

904
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:55,240
What do you what do you think 
about? 

905
00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:59,640
The gold space in general, JD, 
of Where are we approaching 

906
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,080
daily? 
I'll get started on the genius 

907
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,480
later, but. 
Where do you think we're? 

908
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:10,000
Sitting at the moment with, you 
know, the valuations multiples 

909
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:15,200
and has everything risen to 
where it needs to rise to in 

910
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,160
accordance with the gold price 
or not mate, it's. 

911
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,680
It's a super, super interesting 
part of the the commodities 

912
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,760
market right now, right. 
And yeah, let let's definitely 

913
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,480
bring it down to the the juniors
in a second, because it's 

914
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,680
interesting comparing juniors to
your mids to your, your sort of 

915
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,880
mega cap goldies. 
But I, I reckon the, the space 

916
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,800
in my mind has been getting more
and more attention lately, but 

917
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,040
I, I don't reckon the value, the
valuations are what they kind of

918
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:43,920
could be. 
And I think everyone just throws

919
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,880
around the, the old comparison 
of the, the GDX, that's the, the

920
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:54,040
miners index versus the physical
metal since say 2010 roughly. 

921
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,760
And GDX has been an 
underperformer, especially since

922
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,600
sort of 20/12/13 when things 
fell away that, that cycle 

923
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,680
really unwound. 
But even if you look back 5 odd 

924
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,920
years to the beginning of COVID,
we've seen pretty awesome margin

925
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,240
expansion. 
We're hopefully starting to see 

926
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:14,480
that and we have with some 
companies start to see that come

927
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,960
through, say Evolution last 
quarter was an awesome cash 

928
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,920
print and hopefully we see that 
more and more across the board 

929
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,840
as the gold price runs away and 
costs, you know, they are up a 

930
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,280
good bit. 
We had that really inflationary 

931
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,480
kind of spell, but they're not 
up to the same extent. 

932
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,280
So those margins have had a real
step change to them. 

933
00:52:31,720 --> 00:52:35,040
Balance sheets are improving 
like the net debt positions 

934
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,440
across the border are pretty 
healthy and the ones that do 

935
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,040
have substantial can can 
hopefully pay that down. 

936
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,880
M&A been pretty, pretty sensible
across the board in my mind. 

937
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:48,680
Capital allocation has been 
pretty good, but the, the 

938
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:53,400
physical versus the miners has, 
you know, it's just gone in One 

939
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,640
Direction that that physical 
metal has just outshone the the 

940
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,520
miners themselves. 
And that's mainly to do with 

941
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,560
central banks and what they've 
done and everything that sort of

942
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,080
came about following Russia's 
invasion in Ukraine. 

943
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,600
But I reckon there's a serious 
potential tailwind for these 

944
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,360
miners. 
And this will push all the 

945
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,160
companies we just mentioned in 
the right direction. 

946
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,080
If you start to see the 
multiples kind of match what 

947
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,080
they were a few years ago or 
even, you know, God forbid, 

948
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:25,720
expand on what they were a few 
years ago to really compensate 

949
00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:28,280
for the the added kind of Moat 
and margin that they're now 

950
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,440
making. 
And I think that's super 

951
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:31,960
interesting. 
And we've we've started to see 

952
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:36,880
more funds wrap up these 
dedicated gold funds or you 

953
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,120
know, open gold funds, they may 
have closed previously to new 

954
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,360
investment, those sorts of 
things, which is an interesting 

955
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,080
anecdote in my mind. 
Yeah, just to add to. 

956
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:51,200
That I think even you've seen a 
lot of the gold producers where 

957
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:56,200
they've just you know finished 
delivering into their hedge 

958
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,520
books or they're sort of working
through them and working down in

959
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,640
them. 
But then as their hedge books 

960
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,760
are decreasing, they realise 
gold price for you know say the 

961
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:10,560
next quarter is maybe a few 
$100.00 an ounce more so then. 

962
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:13,520
You know that's. 
Still it's sort of been washing 

963
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,440
its way through, but it, I feel 
like it's still continuing to do

964
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:20,160
so for, for some of those 
producers that do have hedge 

965
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,840
books in place or finishing them
off or just finish them. 

966
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,080
So, you know, immediately, yeah,
next quarter you're already 

967
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:31,320
you're getting the the realised 
price increasing from that, but 

968
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,240
then also the gold prices 
increased as well. 

969
00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:38,240
On top of that. 
There's that, that the whole, 

970
00:54:38,240 --> 00:54:41,640
you know, PNEV thing, you know, 
usually with, you know, in these

971
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,720
real bull markets we've seen, 
you know, the pay Navs for gold 

972
00:54:44,720 --> 00:54:50,880
producers sort of above above 
that one one times PNEV being 

973
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,480
priced to net asset value for 
those who don't know. 

974
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,080
And you know, a lot of them are 
still sort of sub one or barely 

975
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:59,920
breaching one just at the 
minute. 

976
00:55:00,720 --> 00:55:05,440
But yeah, that that comment 
about not just necessarily gold 

977
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,440
funds starting to being, you 
know, opened up or reopened and 

978
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,400
things like that, but that whole
shift of, you know, if you're 

979
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:16,120
taking away the the technical 
fundamentals away from the 

980
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:22,240
story, just the fact that the 
the, the flows from generalists 

981
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:27,800
into gold, just that that in its
own right, you know, could be a 

982
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,760
seismic shift in in this space. 
Even if you Chuck all the 

983
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,040
fundamentals out the window, 
that'll be without. 

984
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:39,520
Doubt the biggest shift if it if
it does happen and yeah, on on 

985
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,880
the P NAV multiples, you know, 
you, you see a lot of these 

986
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,920
companies trading at sort of 
point 7.8 times consensus and 

987
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:51,240
that's sort of flashing through 
a gold price that that's sort of

988
00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:53,960
hundreds of bucks below where we
are. 

989
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:58,080
So you, you think about that in 
the sense of a Spot gold price 

990
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:02,800
being being flushed through and 
you, you can make the, the case 

991
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,240
for these a lot of these names 
being, you know, the whole 

992
00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:07,680
basket of names being pretty 
bloody cheap. 

993
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:11,480
But yeah, there, there's a lot 
of concerns that are at a macro 

994
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,880
level around the world right 
now. 

995
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,440
And I think people tying in with
that understand the importance 

996
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,320
of having a bit of gold in in 
the portfolio, whatever they 

997
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:24,080
think of the the miners, you 
know, But I think sooner or 

998
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,040
later if if things persist, 
people do start to look at the 

999
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:32,560
miners, I think I don't think. 
We've yet seen the retail really

1000
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:36,080
flow into small caps. 
There's sort of been glimmers. 

1001
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:41,720
But it hasn't, it's not 
reminiscent of a full, you know,

1002
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,960
gold bull retail market just 
yet. 

1003
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,640
It doesn't feel Nah Nah like. 
No, nobody. 

1004
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:47,760
Nobody. 
Cares, do they? 

1005
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:49,560
Nah, but you look. 
At what? 

1006
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:54,480
Like the lithium, Lithium retail
mania when we like a couple of 

1007
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,320
years ago, like, yeah, I don't 
we haven't really seen that for 

1008
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,720
gold yet. 
And look, oh, I wouldn't be 

1009
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:03,480
surprised if that's that's on 
the way the stair goods. 

1010
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,400
I'll be right there in that 
time. 

1011
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:10,200
Oh, I think the. 
The the outlook for for sort of 

1012
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,440
society and and what's going on 
if the the gold price goes in 

1013
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,760
that direction. 
It's quite concerning to think 

1014
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,520
about that. 
I think we've got yeah, bigger 

1015
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:22,320
problems, but right, but it'd be
great for gold juniors, but but 

1016
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,000
even. 
If it, if it's stayed at this 

1017
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:30,200
level right now and sustained 
here like that is still a shit 

1018
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:35,880
load of, you know, value for 
bigger companies picking up 

1019
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,360
juniors to increase their Oz 
profile 'cause you know, they're

1020
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,240
making such good margin on the 
dirt. 

1021
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,040
So I they, they, they will. 
Struggle to find the good 

1022
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,640
projects to put the the cash 
into it, because if these gold 

1023
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,320
prices maintain and and they 
keep costs down, they'll be 

1024
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,560
making such healthy money. 
It'll be, it'll be a very 

1025
00:57:54,560 --> 00:58:00,600
interesting sort of shift in in 
how how the companies have to 

1026
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,000
act with with their sort of cash
balance and how they have to 

1027
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,080
allocate capital. 
Yeah, I. 

1028
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:06,720
Think you know things don't tend
to stay? 

1029
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,320
Still for for too long, so I 
think. 

1030
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:14,440
Just things that are occurring 
to me, you, you look at this 

1031
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:19,080
deal and geographical synergies 
and the, the, the theory behind 

1032
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,840
it. 
I think if West gold are out of 

1033
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,680
the race with these two now and 
they're not really thinking 

1034
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:29,720
right, what's our next play? 
I think that talk of West Gold 

1035
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,240
Pantoro really, really might 
start heating up. 

1036
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:38,160
I think because it's, it's a bit
of a carbon copy of this on a on

1037
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:42,560
a different scale, because them 
getting that, that noseman dirt 

1038
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,960
to feed into an upsized 
Higginsville mill actually sort 

1039
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:50,160
of makes a lot of sense whether 
they go down that road or not 

1040
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,440
there. 
Because W Carle's back up near 3

1041
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,520
bucks now, like after it, it's 
sort of had a RIP in the last 

1042
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,080
couple of weeks. 
So 2.7 billion market. 

1043
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,960
Cap yeah, so when they're. 
Whether their script starts, 

1044
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,760
they'll consider using that to 
maybe look at something. 

1045
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:11,320
Yeah, I think you'd want to. 
Say at least a couple quarters 

1046
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:16,320
of demonstrated improvement on 
those sort of matters that 

1047
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,400
they're addressing, you know, 
sort of post that guidance cut 

1048
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,480
just to give a little bit more 
confidence in that script. 

1049
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,880
I would have thought, which it 
seems like that's, you know, 

1050
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:30,200
what they're working on and and 
and, you know, working towards. 

1051
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,440
But I think you'd want to, you 
know, see that fleshed out in 

1052
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,520
some hard numbers and results in
the next little while or two. 

1053
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:37,960
Yeah, because they won't have 
the ability. 

1054
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,160
To put the cash kicker in like 
Remelius have had, you wouldn't 

1055
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:45,120
anticipate, but they do have the
facility they could they could 

1056
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:46,640
raise. 
Money, you know, but you know, 

1057
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,760
you'd you'd probably want to do 
that out of your cash balance or

1058
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,280
cash flow. 
I'd imagine that's something 

1059
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:56,440
that they decided to pursue. 
So yeah, no, it's fascinating in

1060
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,200
the mid goal in the. 
Midst of in the midst of this 

1061
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,160
deal, we're like, right, what's 
the fucking next one? 

1062
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,320
You could enjoy this one. 
I think the great thing as well,

1063
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,760
which you know, we've sort of 
heard anecdotally around the 

1064
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,800
grounds, which I think, you 
know, super positive is just 

1065
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:18,840
sort of a bit of renewed 
optimism for in these sort of 

1066
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:23,400
gold fields areas around, you 
know, I would say WA in 

1067
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,720
particular. 
And the flow on that has to 

1068
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,240
contractors and businesses and 
all that, that service the 

1069
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,800
mining industry, which we all 
know gold is, drives a lot of 

1070
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,760
that work. 
So that's really great to see 

1071
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:39,560
too. 
Yeah, and now they're making 

1072
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:40,160
more. 
Money. 

1073
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,920
If you want to make more money, 
get us to sponsor us and we'll 

1074
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,280
tell everyone our goods are that
too. 

1075
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,400
Talk about. 
Talk about the best use. 

1076
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,800
Of your capital, that is one way
I can guarantee you will make 

1077
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,360
more capital mate. 
Roll them out right. 

1078
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,400
Now heater give me a. 
Rig. 

1079
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,120
Give us a rig. 
Oh, better. 

1080
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,400
No one else does it. 
I love it. 

1081
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:02,000
Yeah. 
So. 

1082
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,440
Funny, how good is it? 
I'm so happy all my stocks are 

1083
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:05,920
going up. 
I'm fucking loving it. 

1084
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,400
Never been up here. 
I love the correlation. 

1085
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,560
Between share price movements 
and your mood, it's great. 

1086
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,840
Accept me Uranium 1. 
That that hasn't gone up, but 

1087

01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:21,920

Just go gold, see if it's. 

1091
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:28,960
