Brazilian Critical Minerals (ASX: BCM) reports robust magnesium sulphate leach results from its 2025 drilling at the Ema project, validating key assumptions for a long-life, low-cost rare earth operation.

High-Tech Metals has reported exceptional metallurgical test results from its Wagtail Gold Deposit at Mt Fisher, confirming high gold recoveries and processing flexibility that could lower costs and boost throughput.

Red Mountain Mining has produced a high-grade 51.8% antimony concentrate from Oaky Creek with excellent 85% recovery, setting the stage for upcoming drilling to define the resource along a 3km mineralised strike in NSW.

Metal Bank has secured $1.2 million through a placement at a 30% premium, aiming to fast-track production at its Seven Leaders deposit and advance the Homestead and Winja gold projects at Livingstone.

Encounter Resources has achieved strong metallurgical recoveries of 51-53% niobium and up to 57% Nb2O5 concentrate grade from the Green deposit at its Aileron Project, validating conventional processing methods and supporting multi-decade mining potential.

Bayan Mining and US Critical Materials have signed a non-binding MoU to develop rare-earth processing technologies licensed from the Colorado School of Mines, targeting high-grade mineralisation at the Sheep Creek Project in Montana. The collaboration aims to support a US-based rare earth supply chain with potential strategic investment on the horizon.

Raiden Resources has uncovered extensive new arsenic-in-soil anomalies at its Vuzel Gold Project in Bulgaria, signaling a potentially larger mineralised system beyond the previously drilled zone. Follow-up exploration and permitting efforts continue alongside pending metallurgical test results.

Odyssey Gold’s metallurgical testwork on weathered material from its Cable deposit starter pit has delivered a rapid 95.9% gold leach recovery, supporting early mining potential at the Tuckanarra Project in WA.

Dreadnought Resources has confirmed near-complete gold recoveries from metallurgical tests at Metzke’s Find, underpinning a planned resource upgrade and scoping study for its Illaara Gold Project.

Reach Resources has boosted its Blue Heaven gold resource by roughly 30% to 80,000 ounces, supported by strong metallurgical results and a newly granted mining lease, while progressing a $3.15 million rights issue to fund further exploration and development.

Nimy Resources has identified significant extensions to its high-grade gallium deposit at Mons Block 3 and shipped test material to the US as part of a strategic partnership. A scoping study is underway to evaluate mining and processing economics, while regional exploration continues across multiple targets.

Image Resources delivered a solid first quarter at its Atlas project with production and sales within guidance, operating costs under forecast, and secured a six-month debt repayment holiday. Development advances on multiple mineral sands projects and maiden gold resource drilling is underway.
