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 […]
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 […]
Approximately two years ago, Red Eagle Mining (R.TO) was fighting off Batero Gold (BAT.V) in an attempt to gain control over CB Gold which owned the high-grade Vetas gold project in Colombia.

Columbus Gold’s (CGT.TO) partner Nord Gold completed a Bankable Feasibility Study on the Montagne D’Or Gold project in French Guiana at the end of April. This study confirms the viability of the gold project even at $1200 gold (and lower), and as Columbus Gold has now also announced plans to […]
As Elysee Development Corp (ELC.V) has released its financial results for the first half of this year, we thought it was a good opportunity to catch up with Guido Cloetens, Elysee’s Executive Chairman. We were curious to hear about Elysee’s investment plans, and we were excited to hear about the […]
Last year, we reported on Callinex Mines’ (CNX.V) acquisition of three primary zinc deposits in Eastern Canada. At the time, Callinex wanted to make a major foray into the zinc space with the metal then trading around $0.70 to $0.80 per pound. The company also wanted to leverage its VMS-focused […]
