  • Andean Silver outlines three key value drivers - Matthew Allen (ASX: ASL)

    Andean Silver outlines three key value drivers - Matthew Allen (ASX: ASL)
    2026/07/07
    Andean silver has three avenues to share price growth, resource increases, upgrading inferred resources to measured and indicated, and undertaking economic studies to show how profitable this project can be. Guest Bio Matthew Allen joins The Hole Truth fresh from his appointment as Managing Director of Andean Silver Limited (ASX: ASL, OTCQX: ADSLF), having stepped up from the role of Chief Executive Officer, which he took on in February 2026 after serving as the company's Chief Financial Officer from December 2024. Allen brings more than 20 years of multi-sector business experience as an entrepreneurial leader in financial analysis, mergers and acquisitions, forecasting and strategic planning, with prior roles at Global Lithium Resources, Hastings Technology Metals and Otto Energy. He has completed the Australian Institute of Company Directors' Company Directors Course. Allen now leads Andean Silver's push to convert and grow the resource base at its 100%-owned Cerro Bayo Silver-Gold Project in Chile's Aysen region, and to advance the studies needed to underpin a future restart of the historic operation.

Allen argues each driver reinforces the others, with the recent resource upgrade providing the scale and confidence needed to justify moving into feasibility work. A 230% Jump in Indicated Resources Underpins the Next Phase Andean's latest Mineral Resource Estimate delivered a 230% increase in Indicated resources, reflecting close to 30,000 metres of infill drilling completed over the past 12 months. Allen notes the update was also the first to constrain the resource within mineable shapes rather than a simple grade cut-off, making the reported ounces more directly relevant to future mine planning. Around 4.7 million of the project's 20 million tonnes are now classified as Indicated, with the company targeting 70% Measured and Indicated at the next update. Restart Economics Take Shape After Decades of Production History Cerro Bayo has more than 30 years of production history and was placed into care and maintenance in 2022, when silver was trading below US$10 an ounce — a stark contrast to the roughly US$60 an ounce environment Andean is now planning a restart into. Continued drilling within 1.5 kilometres of the existing process plant, including deepening known mineralisation at the Cascada deposit by around 200 metres, has given the company confidence in a mine life beyond ten years. Feasibility work now underway will also weigh whether to expand the plant from 500,000 tonnes per annum toward 750,000–1 million tonnes, targeted for delivery in the second half of calendar 2027. First Drilling in Over 20 Years Targets the High-Grade Cerro Bayo District Two additional rigs are being mobilised to the Cerro Bayo district, a historic underground mining area roughly ten kilometres from the Laguna Verde process plant that once produced at close to 700 grams per tonne silver-equivalent head grade. The area has not been drilled in more than two decades, despite ongoing surface mapping by Andean's exploration team identifying extensions to known vein systems. Assay results are expected before the end of the year, with the company also planning ahead to next-generation greenfield targets along the Droughtmaster–Sinter Hill corridor. Structural Tailwinds Support the Silver Price Outlook Allen points to a market undergoing a genuine shift, with silver's industrial applications in solar photovoltaics, electronics and medical uses increasingly driving demand alongside its traditional precious metals role. On the supply side, silver remains relatively inelastic, with the majority of global production coming as a by-product of lead, zinc and copper mining rather than from dedicated silver projects. Allen notes the market has now recorded six consecutive years of supply deficits, underpinning a price that has moved from single digits historically to around US$60 an ounce today...

  • Tetragon hunting for oil and gas elephants in the Philippines - Conrad Todd (ASX: TET)

    Tetragon hunting for oil and gas elephants in the Philippines - Conrad Todd (ASX: TET)
    2026/07/14
    Tetragon Energy has just listed on the ASX. It holds some highly prospective acreage off the Philippines coast. It aims to bring in a big multinational partner to help fund the exploration program, in the hope of making a major oil and gas discovery. Guest Bio Conrad Todd is Managing Director of Tetragon Energy (ASX: TET), a newly listed Southeast Asian-focused oil and gas explorer targeting large-scale gas discoveries offshore and onshore the Philippines. He brings more than 44 years' experience in oil and gas exploration and development, having held senior technical and management roles including Exploration and Development Manager for Cooper Energy in Australia and for Lundin in Malaysia, Chief Geophysicist and New Business Manager for LASMO in Indonesia, and Chief Geophysicist for Occidental in Oman. At Lundin, he led the subsurface team behind a complex mixed oil and gas field producing 20,000 barrels of oil per day, while at Cooper Energy he ran the geoscience department through a period in which the company's market capitalisation grew from $20 million to $200 million. Conrad was Managing Director of Triangle Energy (ASX: TEG) from 2022 to 2026, and led the spin-out of its Philippines assets to form Tetragon Energy. He has also worked in mergers and acquisitions and reserve auditing for RISC, co-founded Vizier Energy Consulting, and served as a Non-Executive Director of Pilot Energy.

The blocks already contain two undeveloped discoveries totalling roughly 470 billion cubic feet of gross 2C gas resources, drilled by ExxonMobil between 2008 and 2010 before Asian gas prices collapsed in 2014-15. With regional gas prices now roughly three times higher, Todd says the economics of these existing discoveries have changed substantially. The Halcon prospect anchors a potentially company-making exploration target The largest prospect on the permits, a basin floor fan named Halcon, carries a conservatively estimated most-likely recoverable resource of 2.7 trillion cubic feet of gas. Around 4,000 square kilometres of existing 3D seismic data is being reprocessed using modern techniques, a process expected to take about a year and materially sharpen the company's confidence in both the discovered gas and the exploration upside. Todd expects an updated, likely larger, resource estimate for Halcon within the next few months. A farm-out to a major, not drilling success, is the first re-rating catalyst Because the blocks sit in 1,500-2,500 metres of water, Tetragon cannot fund a well on its own and is instead targeting a farm-out to a major or supermajor such as Petronas, Eni or Shell. Todd points to comparable ASX-listed companies with 3D-seismic-defined exploration plays that have re-rated by up to ten times their market capitalisation simply on securing a partner prepared to fund drilling, well before any well is spudded. The onshore Cagayan Basin project offers a faster, lower-risk path to cash flow Tetragon's 100%-owned onshore permit, SC-82 on Luzon, 250km north of Manila, hosts the Nassiping-2 gas discovery, first drilled in 1984 and later flow-tested by another operator. With Manila's power grid short of gas and a high-voltage line just 700 metres from the well site, Tetragon plans to firm up the resource with seismic or airborne gravity and magnetics work and a single follow-up well costing about $8-9 million, then generate and sell electricity on site rather than build a 250km pipeline to Manila. First-pass economics put the value of this project at $90-150 million. A clean spin-out structure and a strong ASX debut give investors direct leverage to the Philippines story Tetragon was spun out of Triangle Energy (ASX:TEG) via an in-specie distribution, with Triangle shareholders holding half of the new company alongside $4 million raised in an IPO priced at 20 cents a share. The stock listed this week and closed its first day at 25 cents. Todd notes the Philippines government is actively courting international explorers, ...

  • Lac Gold, Taking a Big Canadian Resource and Making It Even Bigger - Andrew Stocks & Matthew Keegan (ASX: LAC)

    Lac Gold, Taking a Big Canadian Resource and Making It Even Bigger - Andrew Stocks & Matthew Keegan (ASX: LAC)
    2026/07/21
    Lac Gold has 1.66 million ounces of resources at the Rouyn Gold Project in Canada. Two rigs now drilling, with the potential to add a third or even a fourth. The name of the game is to grow the resource in what is a highly desirable address for gold deposits. Guest Bios Andrew Stocks — Managing Director, Lac Gold Limited (ASX: LAC) Andrew Stocks is Managing Director of Lac Gold Limited (ASX: LAC). He is a mining engineer with more than 35 years' experience in corporate leadership across the resources sector, including project development, capital allocation and strategy.

Managing Director Andrew Stocks and Executive Director Matthew Keegan acquired the project privately for around C$25 million (C$5 million cash plus a C$20 million vendor finance facility at 5% straight-line interest, with no warrants or options attached), before listing via a reverse merger with Ardiden Limited that completed in late 2025. A fragmented gold system that's only been drilled to 400 metres Rouyn sits on the Piché Group trend within the Cadillac–Larder Lake fault zone, in the same neighbourhood as Abitibi giants such as Canadian Malartic, LaRonde, Lapa and Kerr-Addison, which together account for roughly 200 million ounces mined over the past century. Keegan says the project's shallow drill depth reflects a century of disjointed ownership rather than poor geology: 73 separate mining claims were only consolidated under one owner in recent years, and the ground was mined intermittently in the 1950s and 1980s during periods of low gold prices rather than being systematically explored. Two rigs turning around the clock, with a third and fourth under consideration Lac Gold currently has two diamond rigs running 24/7 at Rouyn, advancing roughly 200 metres a day combined, with a third rig being brought on and a fourth available if the economics stack up. Cold Québec winters don't interrupt the program — the frozen ground makes drilling easier. Results to date show continuity, width and grade in known zones, while step-out holes are revealing broad mineralised halos that vector toward high-grade shoots, across at least 150 targets identified along the deposit's six-kilometre strike. Valuation sits well below peers, with two paths to a re-rate At a market capitalisation of roughly A$70 million against 1.66 million ounces, Lac Gold is trading at about A$42 an ounce in the ground, versus a peer average Stocks puts at two to three times that level. Management frames the opportunity in two parts: closing that valuation gap on the existing resource, and applying the same (or a better) per-ounce multiple to new ounces added through the drill bit. A second growth option at Golden Patricia, near Pickle Lake Alongside Rouyn, Lac Gold holds the Pickle Lake Gold Project in Ontario, inherited through the Ardiden merger. The company has since acquired the historic, high-grade Golden Patricia deposit from Barrick, a past producer that yielded gold at an average grade of around 16.5 grams per tonne. Historical data from the site is being digitised, with a modest ground program of roughly 5,000 ...
