Anax Metals has moved its Whim Creek copper-zinc project deeper into engineering and financing work, while Mons Cupri’s Mineral Resource rises 24% to 6.32 million tonnes.

Orion Minerals has made Glencore’s US$40 million Tranche A financing unconditional, clearing the way for development of the Uppers Mine at its Prieska copper-zinc project in South Africa. The larger US$210 million package for the Deeps remains conditional, leaving the project’s full build-out dependent on further funding.

Alvo Minerals has secured A$1 million from strategic and existing investors while reporting broad, near-surface dysprosium and terbium mineralisation at its Bluebush project in Brazil. The results strengthen the exploration story, but metallurgy, permeability and a maiden resource remain ahead.
