Queensland coal baron creeps to 23.5% of Venus share register
There's an adage in the markets that still rings true for savvy punters chasing the next big win: 'Follow the money.' It's simple, time-tested and often spot-on. So when Venus Metals Corporation released an ASX regulatory notice last week revealing that Chris Wallin, the owner of QCoal Group, had been busy mopping up shares in the Western Australian junior explorer, punters might be wise to take note. Wallin is ranked 50th on The Australian newspaper's latest richest 250 list, with an estimated wealth of $3.13 billion. The Queenslander made his fortune from the ground up by building a coal mining operation 36 years ago, turning it into one of his home state's biggest resource companies. With five producing coal mines and an estimated $400 million in annual dividends, the veteran resource executive has plenty of ready cash to deploy into his pet projects and it seems, Venus is one of them. Wallin's recent buying spree of a further 2.43M shares has now taken his total holding in Venus to 23.53 per cent. The Corporations Act rules state a shareholder can own up to 19.9 per cent of a company before triggering a compulsory takeover bid. However, a creep provision within those rules allows the same investor to accumulate a further 3 per cent of the register every six months. Given that Wallin has invoked the creep rules to take his holding in Venus to 23.5 per cent, it would seem fair to suggest he may not want to stop there. The seasoned miner first stepped up to the plate as a Venus shareholder in 2019 after taking a 5 per cent stake in the junior company through a placement. He has been a stalwart supporter since, accumulating a further 40M shares in the past six years. At the time of the initial raising, funds were earmarked for exploration at the company's Western Australian Youanmi gold project in a joint venture (JV) with Rox Resources. The rest is history, with the JV partners now moving towards a final investment decision to develop a 2.3-million-ounce gold mine just as the gold price booms. Two years ago, Venus sold its interests in the project to Rox in exchange for 110M Rox shares after the partners agreed to consolidate ownership of the project. Half those shares were distributed in specie and as a bonus to Venus' shareholders, leaving Wallin a beneficiary with 2.4 per cent of the Rox register. He has continued to build on that initial stake and now owns 8.5 per cent of the register. Whatever plays out next in the Venus story, one thing is clear: Wallin has made his move and, given that he is such an astute operator, punters will take note. On the face of it, he might be onto something. Venus appears to be shaping up as an under-the-radar gold play, thanks to its $17.5M stake in Rox. That's against Venus's market capitalisation of just $20M. On top of that, Venus holds a 1 per cent royalty over the Youanmi gold project, which is due to pour first gold by early 2027. The royalty was independently valued last June at $9.5, when gold was selling for $3155 per ounce. With gold now booming at $5162 per ounce, Youanmi's value appears light on. Venus's market capitalisation could be justified alone on the back of its gold-laced royalty stream and a swag of Rox shares. However, its own exploration plays are quickly becoming just as compelling. At its Sandstone gold project, 70 kilometres from Rox's Youanmi mine, the company is fast-tracking development at its Bellchambers deposit, which already has a 30,500-ounce gold resource. Venus has lodged a new mining lease application over the JORC resource at site and is eyeing a potential mine gate deal with Rox with metallurgical studies already in motion. The company has also just completed a fresh reverse circulation to upgrade the resource with results pending and is about kick off a diamond drilling campaign to further its metallurgical studies. Venus isn't just chasing gold. At the company's Pincher base metal project, 15km from Youanmi, it's also hunting a major copper prize. A recent survey uncovered a massive 5000-Siemens anomaly, already tested with RC drilling. Now, with a WA Government exploration incentive grant in hand, the company is gearing up to drill diamond tails next month. At the same prospect, drilling has also uncovered shallow zinc hits. Metallurgical test work has already been completed on the mineralisation and an infill drilling program is now in the pipeline as the company eyes a potential resource. Adding to the company's value proposition, Venus has bagged a $6M farm-in JV with IGO Limited, right next door to the world-class Greenbushes lithium mine. The early signs look promising, with spodumene crystals spotted at its Cow Slip and Flying Duck prospects. Gravity surveys are now homing in on drill targets. Meanwhile, Venus is quietly stockpiling a portfolio of specialty assets. Near Youanmi, it holds a calcrete deposit that could supply acid neutralisation material to Rox's future gold plant, and it has filed a provisional patent tied to a titanium-vanadium-iron project with breakthrough hydrometallurgical potential. With a billionaire backer steadily upping his stake, an interest in Youanmi already worth almost as much as the company's entire market cap and a pipeline of high-impact exploration plays across gold, copper, lithium and critical minerals, Venus Metals appears to be quietly transforming from a sleeper stock into a serious gold player with a multi-commodity twist.
