Kyler has a background in finance and executive management/Directorships within the resources sector. In this episode, he provides us with an update on what he has been doing and what Cloudbreak has achieved within the base and battery metals sectors.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Cloudbreak discovery is a project generator for the natural resource sectors.
• They mainly acquire early-stage to mid-stage assets.
• Norseman silver has recently ended up with some significant grab samples. Including, over 30% having 1%+ copper in them.
• The strategic alliance with Allianz minerals, in the USA, is bearing fruit.
• Klondike has over six kilometres of 6.23% copper.
• Their large lithium projects in the US are moving forwards rapidly.
• During the next 12 months, they are planning to explore multiple West African and Canadian assets and buy more.
• Cloudbreak is currently diversifying its portfolio to include more bulk materials and battery metals.
• Demand for bulk materials like Bauxite, (used to make aluminium) is also likely to soar. Aluminium can be used to make lighter vehicles, which saves fuel.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It´s been a pretty busy six months and the team is just getting going.’

‘Our alliance with Allianz in the US is because we believe that the area has been underexplored for the last decade, or so.’
