Last year, we were impressed by the Medallion Resources’ (MDL.V) attempts to recover Rare Earth Elements from the mineral monazite. As Monazite is a waste product associated with mineral sands operations, Medallion’s plan presented a win-win situation as mineral sands producers like Iluka Resources (ASX:ILU) , Kenmare (London: KMR) and […]
Berkeley Energia (ASX:BKY, LON:BKY) has entered into an agreement with an Oman-based sovereign wealth fund which will invest up to $120M in the company’s Salamanca uranium mine.

Teranga Gold (TGZ.TO, ASX:TGZ) has released the results of a definitive feasibility study on the Banfora gold project in Burkina Faso. Even though the mine life was based on a reserve estimate of 1.2 million ounces, the results were actually disappointing. Teranga might be ‘pleased’ with a ‘solid’ base case, […]
Sometimes a decreasing commodity price could be a blessing in disguise, and this seems to be the case for NextSource Materials Inc. (NEXT.TO). Whereas it was able to report very decent economics for a planned graphite mine in Madagascar in 2015, the lower graphite price practically killed pretty much every […]
Prize Mining (PRZ.V) will now extend and expand its ground exploration program at the Toughnut and Daylight properties to follow up on the previously announced results of the geochemical and geophysical surveys. These surveys have outlined some interesting soil anomalies where high gold values were retrieved and Prize Mining now […]
Amani Gold (ASX:ANL) has published the results of its maiden resource calculation on the Kebigada zone of its Giro Gold project in the DRC last month. The total maiden resource estimate now contains 2.3 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 1.47 g/t gold, of which approximately 820,000 […]
Victoria Gold (VIT.V) has released the assay results from an additional 12 holes at the Shamrock zone and as the company’s VP Exploration correctly states ‘every target we drill on the property, we find gold’. And indeed, with almost 40 meters containing 1.04 g/t gold and several intercepts with gold […]
