## Noosa mining conference — investor momentum Matt shares how **Noosa** delivered strong engagement after the **BHP Explore** stage, with particular interest building around the **copper** theme.
## Investor comms: making sure the register knows James and Matt discuss the importance of ongoing investor communication, and Matt highlights improvements including a refreshed **company website**, joining an **investor hub** for Q&A, and staying engaged with shareholders.
## Global positioning: San Francisco and New York - **San Francisco (Scale Camp):** BHP-led learning on what it takes to build a scalable company; Litchfield says it’s already applying those components to its operating model. - **New York (Showcase Week):** A targeted presentation to **banks, institutions, high net worth individuals and major miners**—a different audience than the usual small-cap crowd.
## Oonagalabi: quality, scale and the “golden thread” Matt explains why the next phase is about connecting the dots from earlier work to what’s **in the ground**.
Key points: - BHP is seeking a significant outcome—Matt references interest in **5 million tonnes of contained copper** (company context). - Litchfield says it’s demonstrated the **development of a Tier 1-ready belt** with strong **Tier One signatures**. - The work is framed through BHP Explore’s **“golden thread”** process—answering critical uncertainties.
### MT and gravity survey (western side of the tenements) - **Progress:** ~**25% complete** at the time of the discussion. - **Data quality:** Matt notes the **quality** of incoming data looks strong, improving confidence for modelling. - **Timing:** Expected completion around **22 August**, followed by around **two weeks of modelling**.
## What else is coming up (next ~3 months) 1. **Silver Valley:** IP campaign completed; data with the geophysics team (**Agio Physicist**) and awaiting results. 2. **Mount Doreen:** Matt is working to secure a drill rig and may align with **neighbouring drilling schedules** to gather enough metres to attract drilling activity in the region.
## For listeners: what to watch - **Late August:** MT/gravity survey completion and subsequent modelling updates. - **Silver Valley:** IP data turnaround and interpretation. - **Mount Doreen:** Confirmation of drill timing and target prioritisation.
## Closing note Matt encourages investors to **keep Litchfield on their watch list** as the story progresses from program delivery to testing the prospectivity of the belt.
