Latest Metallurgical Testing News

Australia’s ANSTO has independently confirmed that Lindian Resources’ Kangankunde monazite concentrate is exempt from radioactive transport classification, simplifying export logistics and lowering downstream costs.

EV Resources has revealed exceptional high-grade antimony results from channel sampling at its Los Lirios Project in Mexico, with assays reaching 30.2% Sb. A maiden diamond drilling program is underway to explore the extent of this promising mineralisation.

European Resources Limited has reported its strongest rare earth drilling results yet at the Korsnäs project in Finland, revealing a significant neodymium-praseodymium enriched zone and confirming the effectiveness of passive seismic targeting.

Ballymore Resources is progressing development at its high-grade Dittmer Gold Project with significant portal expansion, a 3,000-metre drilling program planned for Q2 2026, and trial mining of historic backfill and remnant pillars within a granted mining lease.

Metal Bank Limited has intersected thick, high-grade near-surface graphite adjacent to its Millennium copper-cobalt-gold resource in northwest Queensland, potentially adding a valuable critical mineral to the project.

Stellar Resources has announced a significant 41% increase in the Queen Hill Mineral Resource Estimate, pushing the total contained tin at its Heemskirk Tin Project beyond 100,000 tonnes. This milestone underscores the project’s status as Australia’s highest-grade undeveloped tin resource.

Locksley Resources has initiated diamond drilling at its Desert Antimony Mine in California, aiming to expand known high-grade mineralisation and support US critical minerals supply chains.

Rimfire Pacific Mining is on track to deliver its maiden Murga scandium Mineral Resource Estimate by the end of March 2026, buoyed by promising assay results highlighting broad mineralisation and a potentially cheaper processing route.

Pacgold Limited reports strong initial assay results from its White Dam resource drilling, confirming high-grade gold and copper mineralisation consistent with existing models and supporting a resource upgrade. The company advances towards mine planning and production in 2026.

Gold Mountain Limited has announced a significant rare earth element discovery at its Capivara Prospect in Brazil, revealing strong mineralisation from surface and plans for resource drilling.

Eclipse Metals reports promising Phase 1 metallurgical test results from its Grønnedal Rare Earth Element Project in Greenland, highlighting over 90% REE recovery in magnetic fractions. These findings lay the groundwork for further optimisation and scale-up testing.

Raptor Metals has intersected multiple zones of visual copper mineralisation in the initial two holes of its 2,200m diamond drilling program at the Chester Project, validating its resource base and setting the stage for resource growth.
