Folks, up next we have a familiar face in Ken Brinsden. Ken is the president, MD and CEO of Patriot Battery Metals. He's got a mining engineer background and prior to Patriot he was running Pilbara Minerals and indeed Atlas Iron, where I was fortunate to be a member of his geology team. He's lost count, but he thinks this must be about his 10th time on stage at Diggers and Dealers. And in his spare time, Ken is a keen windsurfer and he's done that for many years. And in more recent years, he's gotten into the growing sport of wing foiling. Please welcome Ken to the stage, everyone.

“The cesium market today is in effect supply constrained. The resources are 100% controlled by the Chinese. 100%. They own every mine, well pretty much every primary mine globally. So if you're wondering about concentration risk, well the cesium world is the pure definition and they control about 80 to 90% of the chemical capacity. But with the sort of discovery that we've made, there's an opportun”

“Are we too cautious on lithium demand? Of course, it's a leading question and the answer is yes, we are. We're definitely being too cautious on demand. It's a good example to follow. In solar, nobody got solar application rates anywhere near right. Year on year, everybody was upgrading their outlook and they still didn't get it right. This is exactly what's happening in the battery world. But I wa”

About Ken Brinsden

Ken Brinsden, President, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of PMET Resources, spoke at the Resources Rising Stars conference on the Gold Coast in September 2026, providing updates on the company's lithium, cesium, and tantalum project. He described the geology at the Shah Ghojauna site as having scale and grade across all three minerals, noting a lithium resource of 240 million tons with portions comparable to Greenbushes, and described the cesium discovery as the world's largest hard rock cesium resource. Brinsden stated that the company is targeting a final investment decision for the latter part of 2027, coinciding with the completion of the mine authorization process, and mentioned that updated feasibility and scoping studies are expected in the coming months to capture the value of co-product credits. Brinsden also discussed the company's strategy around co-products, emphasizing that cesium and tantalum are critical minerals with industrial applications such as in defense, aerospace, and electronics. He compared the proposed scale of the project to Pilbara Minerals' operations, suggesting a production rate of approximately 800,000 tons per annum of concentrate, which he said would place it among the top five globally in hard rock lithium. He noted that the company is building commercial relationships and expects to form a consortium to support the project's development, drawing on his prior experience with Pilbara Minerals.
