Federal Court of Australia – Case No. NSD795/2025

  





   Pauley v Maronan

The Purpose of This Legal Action

At the start of what may become the greatest silver bull market in modern history, I — Benjamin John Pauley — stand as the last active shareholder defending the Maronan silver project in Queensland.
Maronan Metals Ltd owns Australia’s second-largest undeveloped silver deposit. This legal action was launched to ensure the company is not quietly taken over by offshore players like Glencore without proper shareholder input, market fairness, or regulatory oversight.
