Special Situation Alert - November 17, 2024
Two interesting companies to look at today
Pantheon Resources (PANR.L PTHRF P3K.F) announced the spudding of the Megrez-1 well to explore the eastern topsets in the Ahpun field. Megrez-1 will target three topset horizons, which the company estimates to contain an aggregate 2U prospective resource of 609 million barrels of oil, condensate and natural gas liquids and 3.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Per the company, there are few, if any, onshore wells targeting what is estimated to be more than 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent of 2U prospective resource anywhere in the world during this year. Initial results from the well will be announced when drilling operations are complete. Pantheon says it was greatly encouraged by the supportive words made by President-elect Trump and the Governor of Alaska last week with respect to their intentions for progressing the proposed Alaska natural gas pipeline, which is Phase 1 of the Alaska LNG project.
Hot Chili (HCH.ASX HCH.V HHLKF CHC1.F) announced that the company has entered into a three-year option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the historical La Verde open pit copper mine, which lies approximately 30 kilometres south of the company’s Costa Fuego copper-gold project planned central processing hub in the coastal range of the Atacama region, Chile. La Verde comprises significant historical open pit workings, where shallow porphyry copper oxide mineralisation was previously exploited by private interests across a strike extent of approximately 800 metres, widths of up to 200 metres and depths of up to 15 metres. Historical drilling was limited to the surrounding leases, with little to no drilling undertaken across the mine area. Importantly, says the company, La Verde sits in the centre of Hot Chili’s recently consolidated and larger Domeyko landholding, secured in an option agreement in April 2024. The execution of the La Verde option agreement marks the first time that the entire La Verde porphyry system has been consolidated and controlled by a single party, allowing for drill testing across a potentially much larger porphyry copper deposit footprint, measuring approximately 1.4 kilometres by 1.2 kilometres. The company has undertaken several exploration programs across the Domeyko region since April of this year. These programs were extended over the La Verde copper mine area as part of the company’s due diligence process prior to the option agreement execution. Hot Chili commenced a first-pass drill program at La Verde comprising eleven RC drill holes for approximately 4,000 metres on 30 October 2024 with one drill rig in operation. Two drill holes for 800 metres are already complete, confirming wide intersections of porphyry-style copper mineralisation in both holes based on visual logging, with assay results pending. The company says it is well positioned with A$25.7 million in cash.
