    GGR.ASX Update: Two drill rigs at Dooloo Creek and a new exploration model

    Colin McMillan, CEO of Golden Globe Resources (GGR.ASX), sits down with James Whelan from smallcaps.com.au for a straight ahead update on the ASX gold explorer. The chat covers Golden Globe’s flagship project Dooloo Creek in south-east Queensland, what’s changed since the last update, and how the team is approaching drilling with two rigs on site. Two drill rigs are now turning at Dooloo Creek – a diamond rig and an advanced RC rig – accelerating the programme. Colin explains that the geology team and the board have refreshed the exploration model, testing a different set of targets across a 3 by 2 kilometre area rather than just the obvious outcrop. The result is a more targeted drilling programme and a push into new ground. High grade rock chip samples have been a key driver for the programme, with consistent results across a wide area. Colin highlights why the rock chips may be pointing to a higher grade system at depth, and what that could mean for the next phase of drilling if the current results continue to trend positively. If the drill results stay on track, the team will push ahead with more drilling and begin planning the next phase. The discussion also touches on current gold price sentiment for 2026, with Colin offering his view on where prices could head. The video gives a candid, real time look at a junior gold explorer navigating a busy drilling programme and evolving models on the ground.

    AOK: California Moves & Surat Basin Push Ahead of 2026

    Australian Oil Company (AOK.ASX) is in the spotlight as it pivots its strategy toward controlling more of its California assets while expanding into the Surat Basin. In this quick analysis, we break down what the latest leadership update means for shareholders and the path to 2026. What’s new - Strategy: The company is increasing its working interests in California to rationalise joint ventures and steer its own destiny there, with three new project opportunities aimed at exploration upside. - Operations: AOK currently operates 29 wells in California; the focus is on cost-neutral projects and converting them into value rather than relying on partners with differing views. - Portfolio moves: A binding agreement to acquire ex-State Resources’ working interests in the Sacramento Basin signals a shift in asset control and the ability to bring in new partners. Why it matters - Regulation and consolidation: California drilling permits are being issued again after a long pause, and sector deals like CRC’s merger with Berry highlight ongoing consolidation that could affect asset value and non-core assets. - Growth trajectory to 2026: Management emphasised stepping into new jurisdictions and consolidating the current position to drive performance in the coming years, with stronger gas demand on the east coast and data-centre-driven gas usage. What to watch next - How AOK funds further land acquisitions and expands exploration upside, particularly in the Surat Basin and selected new land positions. - The outcome of partnerships and potential new joint ventures as the Sacramento Basin deal progresses.

    Cobalt Blue: Kwinana Refinery Progress, Black Mass plan & 2026 Outlook

    Australia's COB.ASX presents a pivotal update on Cobalt Blue Holdings as it advances the Kwinana cobalt refinery (KCR) and pivots to battery black mass recycling at Broken Hill (BHTC). In this deep-dive, James Whelan chats with Dr. Andrew Tong, CEO, to unpack progress on permits, binding feedstock agreements, and customer qualification that position KCR for a potential Final Investment Decision in 2026. The video also covers the Broken Hill technology centre, the business case refresh for KCR including an upgraded MPV (≈A$150m), expected free cash flow of A$30–40m/year, and the plan to finance construction with a roughly A$60m capex. We examine cobalt price dynamics in 2026, including DRC policy shifts (ban then quotas) and the implications for Australian producers, the move to alloy-grade cobalt for defence and aerospace, and why Black Mass recycling could become a domestic feedstock loop for cobalt, nickel, lithium and graphite.

    Axel Ree AXL: Rare Earths & Gallium in Brazil's Lithium Valley — Trial Mining Ahead

    In this ASX small-cap analysis, we drill into Axel Ree (AXL.ASX), a rare earths and gallium project in Brazil's Lithium Valley. With two JORC resources declared—roughly 233 Mt of rare earths and about 100 Mt of gallium—the company is positioned to move from explorer to emerging developer. We unpack the in-situ recovery (ISR) approach, the implications of Area A and Area B, and how a potential premium mixed rare earth carbonate from Area B could boost value. The video also places Axel Ree in context with peers and outlines the near-term milestones that could unlock value, including trial mining and the path to a formal feasibility study. What we cover: - Project overview, geography and the dual commodity opportunity - In-situ recovery: how magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) unlocks rare earths securely and environmentally - Area A vs Area B: resource scale, metallurgical work, and the premium carbonate opportunity - Gallium economics: market size, pricing, and how it sits above REEs - Trial mining vs PFS/DFS: why the team is choosing a lean, real‑numbers approach and how it fast-tracks development - Milestones: maiden JORC resources in Area B, Woolwich inferred resource, and the timing for trial mining - Competitive context: how Gerik mine in Malaysia provides a practical analogue for capex and profitability Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome and overview – rare earths, gallium and Axel Ree 01:12 Interview with Paul Dickson and project intro 02:10 Valuation gap vs Brazilian peers 04:03 Area A and Area B overview 05:22 Gallium sits on top of rare earths; premium potential 06:08 Area B – potential premium mixed rare earth carbonate 08:09 What is in-situ recovery (ISR) and why it matters 10:04 Benchmarking to the Gerik mine analogy 11:37 Gallium commercialisation strategy and partnerships 12:00 Trial mining vs PFS/DFS – what this means 13:37 Next milestones and 18–24 month plan 15:41 What to watch next and metallurgical work 16:23 Outro and how to follow AXL.ASX Conclusion/CTA: If you want to stay updated on Axel Ree and the evolving rare earths and gallium story, subscribe for regular updates and follow AXL.ASX for the latest milestones and news. ⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.
