Interesting Report by James Cooper of D and D

A bit lengthy but Horizon Mineralsgets a mention ;Even tho' I've cut it back, you have to wade through the blurb to finally reach Horizon minerals.But the point about new technology re-invigorating old mines and tailings also relates to Horizon as well. I've put what I consider to be relevant to HRZ in bold. James refers to James Cooper-a mining geologist with a lot of practical experience.

"It’s James’s contention that we’re seeing another major shift in the mining industry, and we believe he’s well positioned to help you take full advantage…

Not just because he knows the mining game inside-out…

But also because he’s able to turn his experience into winning stock recommendations for his subscribers.

In fact, we launched James’s investment newsletter, Diggers and Drillers, smack-bang in the middle of a resources bear market...

Yet, at the time of recording, the open positions in his portfolio are well in the money — up an average of 21%, with individual gains including 46%, 52%, 57%, 93% and 143%.

Plus, a bunch of smaller gains that are yet to fully break out.

There have been losers too, and not all our open positions are performing as well as we’d like…

But thanks to James’s ‘safety-first’ risk-management strategy, he generally cuts off losers before they have the chance to do any real damage.

As Peter A — one of James’s subscribers — puts it…

‘Love getting the details from a trained geologist who has skin in the game.’

Darby Monro — another subscriber — echoes this sentiment, saying…

‘James is not up there with the shiny pants mob pretending, but down in the dirt, where he can see, hear and smell what’s going on.

‘He speaks the language of the workers, knows what’s really happening.’

Now, I’m telling you this for a very specific reason.

I want you take the opportunity I’m sharing with you today very seriously…

Because this is the biggest shift in mining that James has seen in his 15-year career.

A shift that’s seeing the emergence of a completely new type of Aussie mining stock — some of which are already going up as much as 685% in under a year...

And it’s largely gone unnoticed.

Most investors won’t see this opportunity coming.

And even the UK’s leading research firm for alternative investments recently said they ‘didn’t realise the true extent of the situation’.

But in this presentation, I’m going to show you exactly what’s going on, and also share details on James’s top four stocks for taking advantage of this opportunity…

To understand the next big shift in mining,
we need to go back to Noble’s Nob…

And understand how it went from being abandoned for 40 years…

To being on the verge of pumping out $260 million worth of gold every year, without the need for any new exploration or drilling.

The truth is, the gold was sitting there the whole time.

It was just inaccessible with older mining techniques and equipment.

But now, the owners of the mine are using what they call ‘the long-awaited key’ to turn old stockpiles and offcuts from past mining booms into gold bullion.

This ‘key’ is a modern processing plant that can churn through 840 kilo-tonnes of ore per year…

And then ‘leach’ gold out of the rock.

But James says this is not just about raw processing power…

These new transformer miners are deploying a whole suite of breakthrough technologies that are transforming what’s possible in mining.

Take the drilling, for instance.

These guys are now using hyperspectral scanning machines that can analyse drill core in minutes — work that used to take teams of geologists weeks or months.

This means they can map out these forgotten deposits faster and cheaper than ever before.

Then there’s the CSIRO-developed neutron technology that gives instant analysis of the surrounding rock right there in the drill hole — no more waiting weeks for lab results.

And when it comes to actually getting the gold out...

They’re using a revolutionary technique called ‘heap leaching’ that employs specialised microbes to extract the gold — replacing old, toxic cyanide methods that were typically expensive and hard to get approved.

But here’s what really changes the game…

They’re sending automated drill and blast machines and driverless trucks deep underground — into areas that were simply too dangerous or expensive to mine in the past.

When you combine all these breakthroughs, you’re not just looking at better technology...

You’re looking at deposits that were once written off as ‘uneconomical’ suddenly becoming highly profitable treasure troves.

And remember — this is just the beginning. These transformers aren’t just making mining more efficient…

They’re literally rewriting what's possible in the industry.

That’s just a taste of how the new owners of Noble’s Nob are turning what was considered decades-old ‘waste’ into 42 tonnes of pure, sellable gold.

And as I mentioned, there’s enough value in those stockpiles to pump out 65,000 ounces of gold per year — $260 million worth — for the next eight years, without the need for new exploration or drilling.

When they do start drilling again, they reckon they can get ANOTHER seven years out of the mine.

Not bad for an ‘abandoned’ mine, right?

In fact, Noble’s Nob is part of a much bigger trend playing out across Australia…

Up until now, you’ve had three main options when it comes to investing in Aussie miners:

1. You could park your money in the blue-chip majors…
2. Try for a little extra upside on mid-sized producers and developers…
3. Or bet on riskier junior explorers — traditionally where the really big gains were to be had…if you knew what you were doing and got lucky.

But now, a fourth option is emerging…

A new type of mining stock that could potentially unlock over US$300 billion worth of new Australian gold.

The ‘transformer’.

‘Transformers’ are companies that specialise in using modern technology to transform abandoned gold reserves into literal treasure.

Whether it’s reviving old deposits or squeezing every drop out of currently active mines — James believes THIS is the next big paradigm shift in mining.

It’s SERIOUSLY big news for the mining industry here in Australia — and around the world. And, perhaps more importantly, for your portfolio.

Think about it…

Suddenly, Australian miners have access to a new stream of gold.

We can return to old mines and use new techniques to generate a positive return.

Or extract EVEN MORE gold from our active mines.

All without finding new deposits and spending 15 years building out those new sites.

Can you see how these companies will be handsomely rewarded?

And how, in turn, they could help transform your portfolio?

And it’s not just gold — these companies are transforming Australia’s dormant critical mineral deposits as well.

I’ll show you how in a moment.

First, let me show you some more examples of ‘transformers’ bringing our ‘abandoned gold’ back to life…

These are just from 2024…

• Northern Star is transforming its mammoth gold mine in Kalgoorlie —unlocking 42 tonnes of untapped gold. Its stock has gone up 52%…
• Genesis Minerals is transforming Gwalia yet again…it was supposed to shut in 2024, after 100 years and $10 billion in gold mined…but a major deep mining operation just unlocked 90 tonnes of what would have become abandoned gold. Its stock has risen 94%…
• De Grey Mining is transforming one of the largest unmined gold resources in the Pilbara region…reviving 39 tonnes of abandoned gold. Its stock has shot up 101%…
• Horizon Mineralsis transforming what Mining.com calls ‘the significant latent potential’ at the Boorara gold mine in Western Australia…potentially unleashing 51 tonnes of abandoned gold. Its stock has gone up 110%…
• And Spartan Resources is transforming a well-trodden site 550 kilometres north of Perth, virtually doubling their gold estimates — adding nearly 25 more tonnes, which they’re calling ‘exceptional’. Its stock has risen 339%…"

• All in all, this report adds even more credibility and certainty to whats already been said about HRZ.
