Osmond Resources has expanded the high-grade heavy mineral zone at its Orión EU Critical Minerals Project in Spain, with drill hole SOR-08 intersecting key quartzite layers 1.25km from prior discoveries. This development supports the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate and keeps the company on track for a Q3 2026 Scoping Study.

Chilwa Minerals has more than doubled the Mineral Resource at its Mpyupyu heavy mineral sands deposit to 109.6 million tonnes, with nearly 90% now in Measured and Indicated categories, setting the stage for potential development within its Chilwa Critical Minerals Project in Malawi.

Fortuna Metals has commissioned its own laboratory in Malawi, accelerating sample processing and cutting assay costs as it nears a maiden resource estimate for its Mkanda rutile and graphite project.

MRG Metals has reported strong initial assay results from 32 auger holes at its Fotinho Rare Earth Project in Mozambique, confirming a significant alluvial heavy mineral presence that complements prior findings at the adjacent Adriano project.

Lion Rock Minerals has reported robust drilling results from its expansive Minta Project in Cameroon, reinforcing its ambition to become a major global producer of rutile and monazite. The company targets a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate later this year amid promising assay outcomes from key tenements.

IperionX’s Titan Definitive Feasibility Study outlines a shovel-ready Tennessee project targeting heavy rare earths, titanium, zirconium, and hafnium with robust economics and strategic US supply chain implications.

Fortuna Metals has produced 66kg of high-grade rutile concentrate from its Mkanda project bulk sample and is progressing drilling programs ahead of a maiden inferred resource estimate expected by early July 2026.
