Western Mines Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Magnium Australia to explore supplying magnesite from the Mulga Tank Project for low-carbon magnesium metal production. This collaboration could add a new revenue stream by monetising a previously overlooked magnesite cap.

Latrobe Magnesium Limited has successfully produced around 20 tonnes of high-grade Magnesium Oxide from its Hazelwood North Demonstration Plant, paving the way for magnesium metal production later this year.

Estrella Resources has completed its 2025 drilling program at the Werumata Limestone Project in Timor-Leste, reporting broad, high-grade limestone and chalk intersections that pave the way for a maiden JORC resource estimate.

Latrobe Magnesium has successfully achieved continuous production of magnesium oxide from brown coal ash at its Hazelwood North Demonstration Plant, marking a critical step towards magnesium metal production later this year.

Australian Rare Earths Limited (ASX, AR3) reports breakthrough metallurgical testwork at its Koppamurra project, doubling heap leach irrigation rates and achieving around 70% recovery of key magnet rare earth elements. These advances promise faster production timelines and lower costs ahead of the Pre-Feasibility Study.

Estrella Resources has released promising initial assay results from its 2025 drilling campaign at the Werumata Limestone Project in Timor-Leste, confirming high-grade, low magnesium limestone and chalk deposits. The company aims for a JORC-compliant resource estimate of at least 500 million tonnes.

Axel REE Limited reports breakthrough metallurgical test results from its Caladão Project in Brazil, achieving over 96% recovery of magnetic rare earth oxides using hydrochloric acid leaching. This milestone supports a dual-path development strategy combining low-cost in situ recovery with a longer-term acid leach option.

Western Mines Group has revealed extensive nickel sulphide mineralisation in the diamond tail of drill hole MTRC011 at its Mulga Tank Project, confirming two promising mineralised horizons that could double the site's resource potential.

Axel REE Limited's latest magnesium sulphate leach tests at the Paraíso target confirm robust rare earth grades and a magnet-rich basket, underpinning a modular in-situ leach development at the Caladão Project in Brazil.

Latrobe Magnesium has resolved a critical manufacturing defect at its Demonstration Plant, enabling Magnesium Oxide production to resume, while securing key financial support for its commercial expansion plans.

Axel REE Limited reports a remarkable 145% increase in rare earth elements and 339% gallium resource growth at its Caladão Project, alongside a metallurgical breakthrough that could slash development costs through in-situ leaching.

GWR Group Limited reports a robust cash position of $75 million and progresses its Prospect Ridge Magnesite Project alongside strategic investments in tungsten and royalties from iron ore and gold assets.
