Discover the untapped potential of Australian mining with Terrain Minerals Executive Director Justin Virgin as he reveals game-changing discoveries that could reshape the company's future.
The conversation begins with explosive news from the Smokebush project, where recent drilling has delivered spectacular results of 11 metres at 6g gold and 43.5g silver. Justin explains how these findings have completely transformed their understanding of the project, uncovering parallel structures at the Lightning and Monza prospects that suggest different mineralisation events. With characteristics resembling Volcanic Massive Sulphide deposits similar to major nearby operations, this breakthrough could signal the emergence of a significant new gold district in Western Australia.
Beyond precious metals, Justin illuminates Terrain's strategic position in the critical minerals space through their Larins Lane Gallium project. With China controlling 98% of global gallium production and prices reportedly around US$1 million per tonne, Terrain's discovery of substantial surface gallium mineralisation couldn't be more timely. This "magical glue" powers everything from AI and quantum computing to LED lighting and electric vehicles, making it an essential component of modern technology with rapidly growing demand.
