   The Discovery of the Paris Silver Deposit

   Coffee with Samso – John Anderson and the Thinking Behind the Paris Silver Discovery There are mining discoveries, and then there are stories about why discoveries happen. The difference matters. In this episode of Coffee with Samso, I sat down with John Anderson, the geologist most closely associated with the discovery of the Paris Silver Deposit on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. John is not just another explorer who drilled a successful hole. He represents a generation of geologists who built discoveries through persistence, pattern recognition, and the willingness to challenge accepted geological thinking. This conversation was less about one silver deposit and more about how discoveries are made when ideas are allowed to mature over decades. The Geologist Behind the Discovery John Anderson was born in South Australia and developed an early fascination with rocks, fossils, and the natural world. He graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1975 with studies in geophysics and geology before starting a career that would take him through some of Australia's most important mining districts. His early years included underground work at Broken Hill, nickel exploration around Kalgoorlie, tin projects, and later senior exploration roles with major mining groups. These experiences shaped a style of thinking John repeatedly referenced in our discussion — understanding how systems form, not simply where anomalies sit on a map. That distinction is critical. Many people talk about targets. Fewer talk about mineral systems. In the words of Samso, get your favourite beverage and sit and listen to another great insight from Coffee with Samso.

The Copper Is Hiding in the Minerals, Not the Assays — CSIRO's Tobias Schlegel on IOCG Vectoring

Published 30 Aug 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Look, IACG have a strong affinity to being a global supplier of copper. It's kind of like go hand in hand in conversations, much like the porphyry deposits that we talk about. Can you describe for us the potential role in addressing the future copper supply, which is kind of on the lips of every investor out there? I think that porphyry copper deposits They're sort of the elephant in the room, right? They're producing, depending on sources, roughly 60% of the global copper and is the main supplier for global markets. But the IOCGs, they're more locally important, especially for Australia. I think if one looks up our records for South Australia and Queensland, they're the dominant copper producer in this area. […]
