Future Battery’s managing director and CEO, Nick Rathjen, joined HotCopper to unpack the company’s glittering first find at Miriam in a Watchlist interview.

“The results we’ve just received are the second batch of the phase-one drilling… [these] are focused on Canyon,” Mr Rathjan explained. “The results opened up three key outcomes, [including that] we hit an encouraging intercept.”

“More importantly, as we came from the west, we were testing various structures… and we saw the thickness and the grade come through, and what we’ve learned is that there’s a long shear that runs through our tenure.”
