 Welcome back to Investor News, everybody. I'm Peter Clausi. It's 2024 and we have an exciting project for you to follow all year. This is a multi-property company with some very, very exciting assets. It's Panther Metals Trading, it's PALM on the LSE. Today we're lucky to have Darren Hazelwood, CEO, joining us. Hi, Darren. Hi, Peter. Thanks for having us on. You and I first met in West Hamlow. We certainly did. We were helping each other out with a couple of problems. You have projects in West Hamlow and you have Uranium Project indirectly in Saskatchewan and you have a new Graphite Project. Where do you want to start? So look, let's start on our indirect projects because ultimately we're a business that's developing the next VMS campaign in Canada, which is a big statement. This is happening on the... That's a big, sexy statement. It certainly is, Peter. We've put a total of six holes into the VMS potential. We've discovered four new lenses. We've discovered two separate VMSs. We've hit zinc over a very short distance of half a metre, but we've shown that the system is carrying on the wishbone area of a bonga. Look, this is carrying copper grades in lake sediments over numerous over 800 ppms. It's huge. It's like a reading from the investor's checklist. What can I say? The opportunity, we control 90% of this Greenstone Belt. The Greenstone Belt directly to our east, the Greenstone Belt directly to our west. They've both had multiple mines on them as well. We've got the legendary prospector in Canada, Jim Franklin. He believes this is a sister Greenstone Belt to Sturgeon's Lake that had five reducing mines from the late 60s right into the 90s, and nobody's ever done real exploration on a bonga. Sir, where is a bonga? A bonga is approximately two and a half hours north by Tarmac Road from Thunder Bay. It's on the way to Armstrong. Okay, so you can drive on to the property. Right, so this is part of the reason there's been a lack of exploration on there. For the juniors, it's a difficult Greenstone Belt to get onto because there is no road. You can get right up to the Greenstone Belt, but then there's a lack of access. So with the scale potential of it, it's really a major playground, but we've been unwrapping this thing over the last couple of years, and every time we take layers off, it becomes more and more exciting. And we're now at a pivot point where we're really going for this. Now due to our own discoveries, we've got the VMS potential. What does that mean? We're at a pivot point. What are we going for? Well, look, we now know that we've got, this is a VMS camp. This is an emerging VMS camp. Last week, we announced the discovery of graphite, which is still on the Greenstone Belt, but it's to the northwest of the VMS area. We've hit over 27 meters of graphite, a reasonably low grade, but we weren't targeting graphite. And this is from surface. We said over 2%, 2.25% is averaged out at, but we know that graphite in that area is abundant. It's in historic reports. And we've got to remember that the graphite has only relatively recently become a commodity that people are looking very seriously for. And the historic data tells us that there's graphite. We've got reports of graphite as surface, but it's buried in these reports. We've now hit numbers. And we've got an immediate exploration area, somewhere like 21 square kilometers. And that's what's going to be the VMS. I dare you, if this is a new area that I'm going to assume you don't have a 43-101 on it. No, we don't. We don't. So we then we have to do the historic disclaimer when you're talking about historical data, right? Absolutely. But it's all part of the DD process. And so as a company, we've got, as you rightly said, we've got just to backtrack a touch, we've got holdings in two different companies, 20% of fulcrum metals that have got uranium in Saskatchewan and other projects. We also own 23% of an ASX listed company. We have a project near Hemlow, just north of Hemlow, dotted lake. That's right, but by Palladium 1, the Canadian market will know very well. We've also got the Manitou Lakes Gold Project. We share many borders there with Dryden Gold, who have just recently listed on the TSXV in the last couple of weeks. But the idea of those is that we use those as a potential liquidity events, because all our all our focus is on a bonger because a bonger offers everything that the junior is after. And by design also, what a major would be looking for. We've got scale, we've got 291 square kilometers that we have controlled over on that Greenstone Belt, and that represents 90% of it. We've now gotten discoveries. We've got the VMS, we've got the graphite. So it's a perfect setup for a junior explorer. What about selling out the full crew metals 20% that you own? There any chance of dividend that back to the shareholder base? Well, we need to keep control of our capital structures to make sure that the work that we do and the discoveries we make have a direct impact on shareholders and positive for our investors. And as an explorer, that means capital. It means we're bringing capital into the business. And these holdings give us other options than just pure dilution. And I'm always looking to investigate all options to basically make sure that those real multiple returns are there for shareholders. And we use the tools that we've got to allow us to do that. Hence, we mentioned in the potential we've dotted the potential at Manitou and also clearly the holdings we've got elsewhere. Everything in the business is now direct to a bonga. And this Greenstone Belt is going to make headlines. What's your shareholder base like? We are predominantly owned by a private investor shareholder base. Within that, around 35% of the business is owned by five people. You're something one of them, right? Yeah, I own around 5% of the business. So what's going to happen this year? 2024 is going to be a big year because? Look, initially, we're going to see the attack on Wishbone, the VMS, and the survey, which is the two VMS areas on a bonga. But we're going to work continuously with the graphite on a bonga as well. That is the key takeaway. It's about the discoveries. It's about turning these four, any one of those four lenses can contain a deposit. It's in our Key and Greenstone Belt. These rocks have been shaken about over a lot of years. And it's about now finding that deposit, getting that one drill hole, and that changes the world for everyone. We've already proved the system carries. And buying that with the graphite, we know there's a lot of interesting graphite. The Ontario government, we've already been in talks with. We understand what they're looking for. They're keen to support. So we're in a nice place. How are your relationships with First Nations, which are vital? Oh, absolutely. We were in communications with the First Nations within that area. And I'm always looking to build on those relationships. We've been fortunate. I think that the First Nation within that area, both First Nations group, that they understand that I'm looking to learn from them as much as they are looking to understand from me. We come to this from a very genuine outlook. It's their traditional lens. We're coming to them as opposed to the other way around. And we're respectful of that. Well, to make that pie bigger, you're going to require capital. How much cash do you have in the bank? What are your plans for that this year? There's multi-elements to this, Peter. We've got options, which is unique for Junior. And when I talk about those options, as already discussed, we've got options in terms of holdings in listed companies. And we've got other projects that we could look to leverage, to enable us to push forward. We've had conversations regarding flow through as well in Canada. In fact, we've had some reasonably substantial offers. We've got a lot of interest in Canada. And what we're doing, the Canadian market tends to get it more. London is slowly coming around. I think it may be a little bit of a confused message in London. They weren't sure whether it was an explorer or an investment vehicle due to our holdings. But they're now getting that. Look, it was good business decisions that left us with those holdings. But we are very much an explorer. And we're looking forward to getting on the ground. So we should be excited about Panther Metals trading as PLM on the LSE in 2024 because... Discovery, opportunity, scale. We've got all of those within our projects and within the Abonga Greenstone Belt. And we are super excited about not just what we've already discovered, it's what we believe this will now lead to. And that's what you're going to see in 2024. Steady floor of news. We'll be excited to follow. Mr. Hazelwood, thank you for your time. I'll be speaking to you again soon. It's Peter Clausi saying thank you and signing off from investor news.
