- Darren McLean is back. A longtime mining investor, Muddy Waters consultant and Chairman of Mayfair Gold, Darren has spent his career hunting dislocations in the development space, and he argues developers are now the cheapest he has ever seen.
We get into why the setup is so unusual: quality assets trading at a fraction of NAV, a permitting environment that has finally turned, and a market he thinks is heading for a construction cycle rather than the M&A wave everyone keeps waiting for.
In this ep, Darren covers:
• Why development companies are trading at generationally cheap multiples, and what has to go right to unlock them
• Why he expects a construction cycle, not an M&A cycle, and why execution is the best rewrite in mining after discovery
• The "propensity for violence" in gold equities and how he positions to weather it
• The Detour Lake case study, and why majors keep selling the bulk assets that become their rivals' crown jewels

Please ensure you read our full disclaimer. - The Koala is back on the show. Our favourite pseudonymous investor joins to unpack the most niche commodity story in the market: scandium, a metal with barely 80 tonnes of annual production that Bloom Energy's fuel cells have suddenly made indispensable to the AI buildout.
With short sellers circling Bloom over its Chinese supply chain exposure, the timing couldn't be better.
In this ep, the Koala covers:
• How data centres turned the Bloom box from a marginal power solution into a must-have, and scandium into a bottleneck
• Why the Hunter Brooke and Crossroads reports flag a real problem that is eminently solvable
• What Western supply actually looks like, from Rio's Quebec circuit to the New South Wales scandium belt
• Whether critical minerals are still commodities or now trade like defence primes

Please ensure you read our full disclaimer. - Henry Sanderson, the author of Volt Rush and writer of the Volt Insight Substack has spent two decades reporting for the FT and Bloomberg, including seven years in Beijing.
There are few better guides to China's grip on batteries and critical minerals.
Fresh from a trip to China, Henry unpacks where the East versus West supply chain battle really stands.
In this ep, Henry covers:
• Where China's dominance sits after the Trump and Xi meeting, and why Europe is now bearing the brunt of its export machine
• His wrong chart thesis: why China's share of demand matters more than its share of processing
• How export controls on niche metals like yttrium caught Western industry off guard
• The looming collision between profit-seeking Western capital and a sector with a demand problem

Please ensure you read our full disclaimer. - Matt Griffin is back. Two years on from his last chat with us, the Maple-Brown Abbott small caps PM returns to unpack a macro-dominated FY26 that saw 75% of active managers underperform the index.
It's a full tour of the small cap resources landscape, from gold to uranium, aluminium and the mining services boom.
In this ep, Matt covers:
Why gold swelled to 18% of the small cap index, and why the coming quarterly season could disappoint
His stock theses on Bellevue, Catalyst Metals and long-term holding Genesis Minerals
Uranium's brutal working capital cycle and why Paladin is his only exposure

Undoubtedly, our favourite M&A saga, taking us back to where it all began. It’s as if things have come full circle with the announcement that Genesis will interrupt the Regis-Vault merger, making its own long-anticipated play to acquire Vault (in a “merger”).
In this ep, we discuss:
Is this Luke Tonkin's finest act
Why didn't Genesis come to the party earlier
Are the synergies real
Will Genesis come back to disrupt this one
