Minelab Electronics
To the treasure hunter, the gold prospector, the protector: We know your quest. Minelab detectors are engineered for discovery. In fact, our R&D team is 50 engineers strong. That’s what makes our hand-held metal detection technology the best in the world. It has been for 35 years. We don’t plan to surrender that title anytime soon. We welcome the challenge of ‘difficult’ terrain. Magnetic minerals, iron-rich soil and deep water are no match for our innovation. You will see deeper with a Minelab detector than any other on the market. Minelab’s dealer network and operations span the globe: Australia, Europe, Middle East, Asia and the Americas. Our dealers are adventurers, hunters and prospectors just like you. No matter where you detect, they are ready to answer questions, suggest sites and celebrate your successes. Every product that bears the Minelab badge is built rugged and precise. We’re ISO 9001 Certified and we manufacture to military-grade standards. It’s why military forces around the world trust our detectors to locate life-threatening landmines. Miners in Africa make life-changing gold discoveries with our detectors. And treasure hunters worldwide use our detectors to unearth history, from rare relics to ancient coin hoards. We know your quest and our detectors are precisely engineered to find the fortune you seek. With Minelab, you’ll find performance is everything.

ChrisHOST
Yep.
SamHOST
And somebody at this event told me like, "That's really, really crap." Like, for whatever reason, and I'll put it out there, MineLab can build really good detectors, and then they've decided to build this subpar digging tool.
SamHOST
It looks like a little hand trowel thing.
SamHOST
And this person said to me, "That's really, really crap." And when you hold it, it's very solid, and it seems just as solid as the thing that I had before.
SamHOST
Oh, it's-
ChrisHOST
This is their branding play.
ChrisHOST
They've just put the MineLab's logo on some Chinesium that they've got to, um-
SamHOST
It's so much Chinesium.
ChrisHOST
But what I did do is I found the very first hidden token for a prize.
SamHOST
Ooh, a Minelab prize.
ChrisHOST
Yeah.
ChrisHOST
So there's 85 people wandering around a field- With all these metal detectors just going wherever.
ChrisHOST
That's why I'm here with a camera.
ChrisHOST
And I was like, oh, and then I pulled it out.
ChrisHOST
So I got a Minelab, what do they call it? Adventure packs.
ChrisHOST
It's sort of like an accessory pack.
Rory HunterGUEST
So Kodan, for anyone that doesn't know the business, it's got two main businesses.
Rory HunterGUEST
So first of all, Minelab, which makes metal detectors both recreational and for artisanal gold miners, mainly in Africa.
Rory HunterGUEST
That business earns a segment margin of about 45%.
Rory HunterGUEST
The second business segment is communications, which includes Zetron, an emergency dispatch business, and DTC, which makes rugged encrypted radios.
Alf IannielloGUEST
Yeah.
Alf IannielloGUEST
We had to get some- the market dynamics right and, uh, you know, we're fundamentally a MineLab business that had evaporated-
Matthew KidmanHOST
MineLab being the gold detectors?
Alf IannielloGUEST
The gold detectors.
Alf IannielloGUEST
You know, that sort of halved overnight.
Alf IannielloGUEST
I just gave him a hurry on.
Matthew KidmanHOST
[laughs]
Alf IannielloGUEST
'Cause these guys had just lived through two or three glory years of MineLab without really, the other divisions had to do too much.
Jason BradburyHOST
Wired for sound I will be.
Jason BradburyHOST
The Minelab Manticore metal detector is up next at a cost of £1,799.
Jason BradburyHOST
So it better find me some, you know, wedding rings on the beach.
Jason BradburyHOST
This is a serious bit of kit.
Jason BradburyHOST
It uses Minelab's Multi-IQ Plus multi-frequency system.
Jason BradburyHOST
And in case you think I'm reading that, you're bang on, I am.
Jason BradburyHOST
It has a colour 2D target map to help you distinguish between something worth digging up and yet another bottle top.
Michael ThompsonHOST
In a statement, Kodan said, demand from conflict regions is currently exceptionally strong, reflecting the proven performance and reliability of our technology in these contested environments.
Michael ThompsonHOST
The group's Minelab handheld metal detectors business has also made a solid start to the new financial year.
Michael ThompsonHOST
And its share price, the company's share price surged almost 24% today.
Michael ThompsonHOST
Though another stock from the same sector, worth a mention, Megaport, its share price jumped nearly 9% after the tech infrastructure company said it had won three new AI contracts worth nearly $1 billion.

SebastianGUEST
You can always just lend them the detector so they're not just walking behind them with a spade.
SebastianGUEST
And then the Pinpointer.
SebastianGUEST
I've got two Pinpointers and I think they're both Minelabs.
Murray PriceHOST
Yeah, I've had two mindless pinpointers and both have given up the ghost.
Murray PriceHOST
So I'm on a Garrett one at the moment, which seems to be doing all right.
