  • Australia’s Most Successful Gold Explorer

    Australia’s Most Successful Gold Explorer
    Oct 7 2025
    We had the privilege of sitting down with legendary explorationist Ed Eshuys, widely credited with the Plutonic, Bronzewing and Jundee gold discoveries. Ed takes us inside the second-last hole that lit up Bronzewing, how CSIRO’s laterite science helped crack Plutonic, why he drills diamond holes early to capture the third dimension, and the capital-strategy mindset that separates luck from repeatable success. We also dig into St Barbara, Sons of Gwalia, the “surface vs shaft” decision, and the De Grey/Hemi sliding-doors moment (don’t stop your aircore 1–2 metres short!). What we cover:• The “go-for-broke” drilling philosophy—and why effective testing beats ‘busyness’• CSIRO laterite nodules → Plutonic: from 1 g/t signs to 30 g/t and the first 30 holes• Bronzewing’s 64th hole and stepping 200 m north to confirm discovery• Jundee: proving scale along 8 km strike with wide-spaced diamond• Capital is impatient: pairing funding with strategy so geology can win• Surface vs shaft at Gwalia: $300/m looked crazy—until it was ~$30/oz added• De Grey / Hemi: effective drilling, search lanes, and not stopping short• Building mines, towns, and long-term value in WA vs sovereign risk abroad …………… TIMESTAMPS (00:00) - Introduction & Ed Eshuys’ Legendary Discoveries(01:50) - The Sweetest Discovery: Bronzewing(04:00) - The Drilling Approach & “Go-for-broke” Strategy(07:00) - CSIRO, Laterite Sampling & Plutonic Discovery(12:10) - The Bronzewing & Jundee Deals with Mark Creasy(19:50) - Jundee: From Oxide to High-Grade at Depth(23:40) - The 1990s Gold Market & Capital-Intellect Partnership(28:30) - “Swiss Cheese” Drilling & Resource Definition(31:40) - New Hampton Goldfields: Ambitions & Takeover(38:50) - St Barbara: Sons of Gwalia Assets & Turnaround(44:10) - DGO Gold, Hemi, and the Discovery Model(50:00) - South Australia: Copper Exploration & New Ventures(56:10) - Discovery vs. Exploration: Philosophy & Lessons(1:08:00) - Reflections, Australian Focus & Closing Thoughts …………… Join 14k+ subscribers to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Director’s Special⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: one daily email with all the news that matters in mining …………… PARTNERS Thank you to the mining services businesses that make this content possible: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sandvik Ground Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – The only ground support you’ll ever need ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Focus by Marketech⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – All your mining news and market needs in one powerful platform | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠10-day free trial⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IMARC 2025 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠– Sydney, October 21st to 23rd.

  • Gold Mania, Niobium Dreams, and Antimony Nightmares (Datt)

    Gold Mania, Niobium Dreams, and Antimony Nightmares (Datt)
    Sep 30 2025
    In Today’s episode is an across-the-board conversation with Melbourne based fundie Emanuel Datt. We kick off by hearing how he’s thinking about the excess and frothy behaviour we’re seeing in markets, segueing into gold, gold miners and portfolio construction. The discussion moves to his long-term bets on high quality companies, including WA1, as well as exploring where rare earths and other niche metals like antimony could go from here. We cover his views on miners in the tin, silver and PGM space and wrap up the show with a juicy underrated vs overrated debate.
