I just registered on this forum, but have been watching for years.
First purchased AVZ after the first drill hole triggered so much attention, and went through the Klaus/Airguide-Langford hangover buying on the way up.
I posted a Youtube video of a presentation by Kobold Metals Kurt House.
I thought Kobold had removed it from their website but it was in the News section.
The Critical Materials Challenge: Using Machine Learning to Find Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, and Copper
The interesting part of what Kobold do is, that they can <also> relate existing surface deposits like Manono and then extrapolate to find deposits at depth over a wider region.
The Nearology playbook, but with a much faster outcome to mined revenues.
And that is the value that people don't see, but Kobold will use this - just like in the case of the DRC minerals database.
The billionaire backing is to find minerals and fast track mining, by focusing on drilling targets.
For them things happen for a reason + they are not used to wasting time to get results.
