Mammoth Minerals (ASX:M79) is debuting a “very different look and feel” at the RIU Sydney Resources Round-Up after last year’s attendance, CEO Glenn Poole tells Mining.com.au.
Since the previous Sydney program in May 2025, Mammoth has changed its name and focus, narrowing in on gold and critical minerals assets in the US.
As reported by Mining.com.au last September, the company offloaded its 90% interest in the Paterson Project in Western Australia to Cloudbreak Discovery (LSE:CDL), as part of its US-focus strategy.
Still trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), Mammoth previously traded as Firetail Resources under the ticker code ‘FTL’ until August 2025.
“The last nine months have unlocked a huge amount of potential for the company,” Poole tells this news service.
“Attending RIU allows for engagement on both a professional and personal level between management and investors.
“A lot can be said in ASX announcements, but this is an opportunity to get into specific details of those announcements and articulate the story and map out the path ahead.”
The RIU Sydney Resources Round-Up, organised by Vertical Events, will be held at the Hyatt Regency Sydney on 5–7 May 2026, acting as a forum for corporate mining investors.
Poole will be presenting on behalf of the company at 11.15am AEST on 6 May. The CEO says he will be focused on the value of Mammoth’s Excelsior Springs Project in Nevada, US.
“A top-tier jurisdiction with a project hosting significant gold, silver, and critical mineral occurrences indicating Carlin-type, epithermal, carbonate replacement and low sulfidation deposit potential,” Poole says.
“I will also be covering off the potential of the Bella Gold deposit in South Dakota, an area with enough potential and a rich mining history.”
Mammoth identified multiple ‘high-priority’ targets at the Excelsior Project earlier this month, following a regional exploration campaign in late 2025, as reported.
The company is looking to strengthen those targets in the coming months, with a maiden resource estimate for the Buster gold zone, maiden drilling at Blue Dick and Kentucky, along with follow-up drilling at the Imperial target.
Mining.com.au reported that Mammoth entered an exclusive option to acquire the Imperial Gold Mine through an earn-in agreement in March 2026.
Rock chip sampling at Kentucky returned up to 5,580 grams per tonne silver from a 1.5km-long strike, while Blue Dick returned up to 1,219 g/t silver.
The company will continue with ongoing generative ground programs to further build out a pipeline of targets.
“Excelsior Springs will remain the key focus for the company this year, with a supportive administration and critical minerals demand in the US,” Poole adds.
“We are well positioned to make the most of the sovereign exposure and access to critical minerals.”
While addressing the Excelsior Project and its emerging targets, Poole explains that the company is also progressing its project optimisation strategy.
The company intends to explore commercial opportunities to support the works in the US.
East coast love
Mammoth Minerals is looking to connect with both retail and institutional investors at this year’s RIU Sydney program.
“For the Mammoth Team the RIU Resources Round-Up in Sydney is the premier event of the junior exploration market in Australia, with significant scale but also a prime location in the Sydney CBD, one of the financial powerhouses in Australia,” Poole explains.
“It is also an opportunity to connect with east coast-based retail and institutional investors, with the head office in Perth and projects across the Americas, there are limited opportunities with such a strong reputation on the conference calendar.”
Mammoth Minerals is a gold and copper explorer focused on developing assets in North and South America.
Mining.com.au is a media partner for the RIU Sydney Resources Round-Up conference and will be in attendance at this year’s program.
