π§΅28 significant #discovery announcements on #ASX this year so far.
Will Santa bring us more discoveries this year?
How many will turn significant over time?
2/5 If you wondering, we had no "significant discovery" announencements since the beginning of October.
3/5 How many of the announced discoveries will turn out to be really significant? We can already see from below graph that market thinks that most of the discovery announcements this year were minor discoveries.
4/5 $TEM and $CBE eneded up as some of the biggest pumps of the year, even when the core images and XRF were not so promising. Both companies share prices crashed after the assays arrived.
$GAL and $CNB had significant run up and are maintaining market cap above 100 mAUD.
5/5 $DRE was another runner, with more gradual share price increase and currently has the largest market cap of 228 mAUD vs $GAL 158 mAUD and $CNB 115 mAUD.
Do you think we will see any of this companies go over 1bln MC mark on the back of the discoveries made?

1/x Geophysics is a powerful tool in mineral exploration, but many investors and geologists struggle to interpret its results.
π§΅Here's a simplified explanation of how it works:
2/x Geophysics is the only tool that allows us to see below the surface of the Earth. With seismic and tomography methods, we can peer tens to hundreds of kilometers deep.
Check out the example of tomography imaging below π².
3/x In mineral exploration, higher-resolution methods are required. Magnetics, gravity, electro-magnetics, and IP are some of the most commonly used techniques - you've probably seen them all in junior companies NSRs.
But what do they measure? And how can we use them?
Over the last years, we have actively speculated in #exploration sector.
Our approach has changed over time.
One of our strategies is to participate early on in discoveries.
π§΅πTips on how to do it below.
Step #1: Stay up to date with exploration results announcements EVERY day.
For us #ASX and #TSX takes 10-20 min per day.
Success here comes down to:
β’ Know what you look for e.g. 20m @ 3% Cu
β’ Do not get distracted by noise
β’ You get faster over time
β’ Automate π
Step #1 cont.: Why EVERY day?
We missed the good announcements before. Most of the days nothing happens, but you do not want to miss the 200% move.
1/6 Most of the new #discovery announcements and good first holes ends up as a minor discovery.
How to spot significant discoveries as an investor?
2/6 Three steps to followπͺ:
1) Study significant discoveries 2) Study the failed discoveries 2) Learn the essentials of geology
Let's dig in.
3/6 Do the following:
β’ Select commodity of interest e.g. #copper#nickel#uranium#gold
β’ Study top discoveries made in the last years
β’ Look at announcements (grades, footprint, structures, geophysical anomalies etc.)
β’ Put it into a system
