RE: Namibia PEL 944 Dec 2025 08:19
Hi all, here are my notes from the AGM. Apologies for any errors or omissions.
Brian Chu as Chairman
Omar, Hamza and Azib in attendance.
▶️INTRODUCTION from Omar:
JUNO:
Successfully intersected all the key geological units
Still expecting assay results this quarter.
GORGE:
Historical work shows exceptionally high-grade results e.g. up to 233g/T Au in soil along 5km of strike length. “Very excited” by the potential for Gorge.
PEL 94:
Farm-out ongoing
“Several” companies currently reviewing the data, with lots of new company interest. There has been an “influx” of NDAs being signed of late indicating that the momentum in the Walvis basin continues to grow.
Corporate / General:
A focus on disciplined cost management.
▶️ Q&A:
(Note: I’ve collated the discussion into GEO’s various projects, not the order in which the questions were actually asked during the meeting.)
🇦🇺 Juno (and some general points) :
The labs are very busy (there have been a number of consolidations between labs in the region recently, which may be affecting capacity / ability to process samples quickly). But, of note, several companies are experiencing delays in receiving the assays, it’s not just GEO.
Brian said that they hope to have assays in Q4, but it’s not within the company’s control.
However, Omar then stated that he’s spoken to Callum recently, and he’s “very confident” that the results will be out by the end of this quarter.
A question was asked as to why the assay results weren’t fast-tracked. Brian stated that both Callum and GEO decided that there was a cost-benefit balance to be sought and it was thought that fast-tracking the results would not add to shareholder value. He reiterated that the delay in getting assay results was affecting many companies, not just GEO.
Omar stated that the company’s firm intent is to make Juno a success. All the data to date led to the drilling campaign and the drills intersected exactly what Callum was expecting.
Note that Juno’s areal extent is pretty much the same as Paris, so it’s a pretty huge area to explore! Initial plan is to confirm mineralisation and then, in 2026, get into the “nitty-gritty” of the new drilling targets.
Brian then stated that, from what they saw when he and Callum were on site, they have “confidence” in the Juno project. Of note, he suggested that XRF was used on site but, as XRF cannot penetrate deep into the cores, such results are not always indicative of the formal lab assay results. He said that he “didn’t want to give false hopes” so it’s important to wait for the formal assay results. [Which suggested to me that the XRF data was positive! But this sounds, to me, like a very prudent and sensible approach.]
Regarding risks to the company over the next 12 months, Omar suggested that the company clearly cannot control exogenous macro factors, particularly commodity prices.
