Axel REE has reported a major leap in metallurgical testwork at its Caladão Project in Brazil, achieving up to 95% gallium and 74% scandium extraction from a Tiger Creek composite sample. The results mark a significant step in developing alternative gallium recovery methods beyond traditional by-product sources.

Larvotto Resources has delivered strong assay results from Clarks Gully drilling, revealing multiple high-grade gold-antimony-tungsten zones and expanding the deposit's footprint at depth and southwards.

Forrestania Resources has vaulted into a new league with a global gold resource exceeding 2 million ounces following its acquisition of the Edna May Gold Project, which brings significant processing infrastructure and development potential.

Eclipse Metals' latest testwork confirms that up to 94% of neodymium and praseodymium are locked in identifiable REE minerals at Grønnedal, underpinning a promising beneficiation strategy ahead of flotation trials.

PTR Minerals’ preliminary mine optimisation study for the Rosewood Titanium Project highlights the potential to tap exceptionally high-grade zones early in production, boosting cashflow and reducing upfront costs. Metallurgical tests suggest simpler, lower-cost processing options could yield high-quality titanium products.

Hawsons Iron Limited’s latest bulk elutriation testwork upgraded its magnetite concentrate from 67.8% to 69.3% iron, slashing impurities and reinforcing the project’s premium product potential.

Mount Hope Mining has advanced its Mt Solitary gold project with strong drilling results and metallurgical testwork, aiming for a maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate by the end of 2026.

Southern Cross Gold’s latest drilling at Sunday Creek delivers a blistering 972 g/t gold hit at 620 metres depth and pushes high-grade gold-antimony veins closer to surface and further east than ever before.

True North Copper (ASX:TNC) has expanded its Mt Oxide copper-cobalt-silver system to a 2.3km strike length, unveiling a new ~300m wide mineralised zone at Chidna alongside multiple high-grade shoots at Aquila.

Pivotal Metals’ latest metallurgical tests reveal copper recoveries exceeding 90% at the Horden Lake project, alongside robust recoveries of nickel, gold, silver, and palladium. These results underpin the upcoming scoping study and highlight the project’s financing potential through by-product credits.

Sunstone Metals has reported significantly improved metallurgical recoveries at its Bramaderos Gold-Copper Project in Ecuador, raising copper recovery to 80% and gold to 93%, well above previous estimates, which is expected to enhance project economics and production metrics.
