"I'm constantly hunting for pockets of value that are unrecognised," Scanlon said.
There was further potential to be considered in remaining materials stockpiles, he added.

"We are run like a billion-dollar company that's just working to get to that market cap."
"Our commitment to South Australia goes beyond the boundaries of our deposits," Scanlon said.
