Independent LONGi testwork has produced 66.3% to 68.0% Fe magnetite concentrates from four Magnetite Range samples using a bench-scale dry flowsheet.

White Cliff Minerals has expanded its Rae Copper-Silver Project into a multi-kilometre copper system, with a peak interval of 21.1% copper and recoveries reaching 95.4%.

Noble Helium has rebuilt its balance sheet ahead of drilling at Tanzania’s North Rukwa project, but its auditor has warned that future capital raisings remain critical to the company’s survival.
