Latest Copper Nickel News

Deal headlines and big drill hits shared the stage with a brutal sell-off in a handful of tiny raisings. The week’s biggest winners were backed by clear news; the biggest losers showed what happens when buyers vanish after a halt.

Small caps stole the spotlight, with a handful of stocks doubling on deal news and early-stage project updates. Large miners were steadier, but even they couldn’t fully escape the week’s sharp gap moves.

Terra Metals has confirmed a large, high-grade platinum group metals (PGM) sulfide system at its Southwest SW6 Prospect, revealing thick mineralisation open at depth and a compelling new platinum-rich zone. This discovery expands the scale and complexity of the Dante Project’s magmatic system, setting the stage for an ambitious drilling campaign.

GreenTech Metals has appointed James Rattenbury as CEO to spearhead development of its Munni Munni platinum group metals project, signalling a strategic push in the West Pilbara mining hub.

The week was split between big earnings reactions and small-cap rocks-and-rigs rallies. Pro Medicus sank despite record numbers, while a handful of explorers jumped on fresh discoveries and policy wins.

Terra Metals has confirmed a substantial new titanium-vanadium-gallium mineralised system at its Southwest Prospect, dramatically expanding the Dante Project’s resource potential with critical metals now in focus.

Nimy Resources is set to present at the Resources Rising Stars Summer Series Conference, highlighting its significant gallium discovery in Western Australia and strategic partnership with US entities to supply this critical mineral for defence applications.

A single drill program in WA delivered a once-a-year spike, while several small caps fell hard after reopening with price gaps. This week also saw big money raised for gold and uranium builds, and a run of resource upgrades across critical minerals.

Nimy Resources reveals a significant extension to its Block 3 gallium deposit in Western Australia, with a high-resolution magnetic survey indicating a 3.5km strike beyond the current resource boundary. The company is also advancing metallurgical test work and seeking federal funding to support development.

GreenTech Metals has completed a transformative acquisition of a majority interest in the Munni Munni platinum group elements project in Western Australia, with drilling underway to verify and expand historic resources.

Pivotal Metals has revealed ore sorting test results at its Horden Lake project that deliver up to a 2.1 times uplift in copper grade, promising substantial cost savings and flexible development options in Quebec’s Tier 1 mining jurisdiction.
