Kaiser Reef: Henty Growth, Maldon Potential & A1 Update (KAU.ASX)

Kaiser Reef (KAU.ASX) is shaping up as a genuine ASX small-cap growth story. In this interview-style analysis, James Whelan sits down with Kaiser Reef’s new managing director Brad Valiukas to unpack how the company is turning an exploration-led portfolio into a production-led growth machine. Kaiser Reef owns and operates the Henty Gold Mine in Tasmania, a long-life underground operation with a 300,000 tpa processing plant, plus the Maldon Gold Project in Victoria, which includes the Union Hill Gold Mine and a 200,000 tpa processing facility, plus a strong exploration footprint across the historic Maldon Goldfield. The September quarterly update highlights continued strength at Henty and meaningful progress at Maldon, underscoring a transition from exploration focus to a bigger, self-funded growth business. Brad explains his background as a mining engineer with extensive production and operational experience, and why Kaiser’s asset mix is a strong fit for delivering the next phase of growth. The conversation covers: the Kaiser's path from exploration to production, optimising Henty, and setting up Maldon for district-scale growth. You’ll hear how the team plans to push throughputs, manage fixed costs, and feed the “beast” at the top end while expanding underground capacity. Key takeaways from the September quarterly production report include: just over 8,100 ounces produced at a head grade of 4.12 g/t with recoveries around 90%, underscoring solid operating momentum post-acquisition. The team is already testing additional crushing capacity to lift throughput and improve cost efficiency, with spare milling capacity available for near-term optimisation. An ongoing resource and reserve refresh on the underground at Henty will feed the longer-term plan to grow both production and reserves. Drilling at Maldon is underway, focusing on district-scale expansion opportunities that could underpin a broader production pipeline. The company remains self-funded with a debt-free balance sheet and is pursuing multiple growth avenues across Henty and Maldon, while acknowledging that the A1 project is transitioning to care and maintenance. This context positions Kaiser well for both near-term cash flow and longer-term growth opportunities.

Resolution Minerals doubles drill programme at Horse Heaven and expands land

An in-depth ASX small-cap update on Resolution Minerals (RML.ASX). James Whelan chats with Craig Lindsay, Head of US Operations, about the expansion of the Horse Heaven drill programme and the strategic land package now under control. The video breaks down what changed, why it matters, and what investors should watch next as the company eyes a maiden resource. What we cover: - Expanded land package: around 59 square kilometres after adding ~600 acres near the southern end, adjacent to the Stibnite district and its active financing backdrop. - Drill programme expansion: the plan extends drilling into October, switching from core to RC drilling to roughly double the footage and accelerate knowledge of the Golden Gate target. - QA/QC and cost dynamics: core provides structural detail, RC offers lower cost and higher footage; the plan combines both to map the structure along Golden Gate. - Golden Gate mineralisation: ongoing gold dominance with tungsten potential at the northern end, plus an antimony anomaly parallel to the fault zone. - Assay timing and catalysts: eight holes drilled, three samples submitted to ALS with a four-to-six week turnaround; potential maiden resource next year. - Near-term catalysts: RC results, stream sediment results around a buried intrusion, metallurgical test work, and a refreshed financing position. - Operational context: strong relationships with the town of Yellow Pine and the US Forest Service underpin the extended drill season and broader project progress. Why this matters for shareholders: The combination of an expanded land package and a longer drill window could accelerate the path to a maiden resource while preserving optionality on tungsten and antimony signals at Golden Gate. Management views the extended season as a way to generate more data with a more efficient RC phase later in the year, helping to de-risk the project and bolster the funding runway.

WIN Medals pivots to Radio Gold Mine: near-term restart plan and opportunities

WIN Medals (WIN.ASX) has pivoted from nickel and lithium to gold, acquiring the Radio Gold Mine in Bullfinch, WA. This video unpacks what the acquisition includes (a mine, equipment, a partly constructed processing plant and working capital), why the Radio Gold Mine offers a rare high-grade opportunity, and the roadmap to a restart in the next 12 months. We also cover near-surface targets around Radio Rapida, Radio South and Radio Man, and the 9,000 metre drill program aimed at identifying open-pit sources that could accelerate cash flow. The plan weighs on-site processing versus toll milling and considers nearby tolling opportunities in the Southern Cross region, aided by the sunk capital already in place. Beyond Radio, the video touches on the Butchers Creek project, Mount Edwards Nickel and Lithium projects, and latent value across the portfolio that could be monetised alongside the gold strategy. With gold at all-time highs, this pivot could unlock multiple catalysts for WIN holders.

Horse Heaven drilling hints at big gold potential for Resolution Minerals

In this ASX small-cap analysis, James Whelan sits down with Craig Lindsay, head of US operations for Resolution Minerals (RML.ASX), to unpack the latest drill news from the Horse Heaven project in Idaho and what it could mean for the company’s growth. This episode is filmed in a Lunch with the Boss format, bringing readers close to the people shaping the story and the moves behind a US-facing strategy. What you’ll learn from this video: - The four-hole, ~1,000m drill program at Horse Heaven has begun, with holes deepening through the oxide-sulfide boundary—a zone that hasn’t been drilled deeply before. - The Golden Gate target shows potential to host a multi-million-ounce resource given the historic gold endowment and the scale of the three-kilometre strike being tested. - Early drill core visuals suggest mineralisation similar to the adjacent Stibnite project, operated by Perpetua, which could be a positive sign for grade and continuity. Scheelite mineralisation is also observed in the upper zones (visible under UV light), which bodes well for the geological model. - Assays are due in about a month, providing a crucial data point to confirm early observations and guide the next drilling phase. - The plan to add a second drill to extend campaigns through September underscores the team’s optimism and resolve to grow the project quickly. - Vancouver’s role as a mining finance hub and Resolution’s US strategy: listing on the OTCQB, Roth Capital’s guidance, and the potential NASDAQ move to access larger US capital pools for critical metals. - Australian investor appetite for critical metals and the momentum behind Australian listings, with a broader discussion of why a US listing could be a strategic step for a US-focused project. If you’re following ASX small-caps, this video gives practical context on how a junior explorer pivots between primary projects, cross-border financing, and development timelines. We break down the implications for investors, what to watch for next, and how this story fits into the broader landscape of critical metals.
