The original programme at Bailundo covered ten diamond holes totalling 3,414 metres, drilled between 2010 and 2012. Six holes were assayed. The best rare earth result came from hole SB06, which intersected 358.9 metres at 1.7% total rare earth oxides (TREO) from surface, including …

The six-bore programme at Elizabeth Creek involved drilling to varying depths to characterise groundwater conditions across the project area. Total metreage was 1,378 metres across six bores. The programme fed directly into planned underground mine design studies — specifically, understanding water inflows and dewatering …

The Buchanan underground mine in Virginia, which produces high-quality metallurgical coal for export through the Virginia Port Authority, encountered geological faulting in both the No.3 and No.4 seams during the quarter. Mining in the fault-affected areas has ceased while a ventilation shaft is being …

Each offtake agreement covers 100,000 dry tonnes of nickel sulphide concentrate per year for five years, on market-based pricing terms. The combined 200,000 dry tonnes per year represents Jaguar's entire planned concentrate output. At approximately 22,500 tonnes of contained nickel in each party's allocation …

The five-hole RC programme totalled 1,020 metres across the Providence prospect. All five holes returned gold mineralisation. The standout was hole 26MNRC0041, which intersected 5 metres at 6.4 g/t gold from 113 metres, including 1 metre at 28.2 g/t. The remaining four holes — …

Seismic surveys have identified up to four additional tin-bearing dykes beyond those known from surface and historical records. Rock chip sampling from pit walls — selective samples that are not representative of overall grade — returned values up to 3.96% tin, with elevated tantalum …

Despite the deferred decision, early civil and concrete works commenced at Tumas during the quarter to open multiple construction fronts and improve scheduling flexibility. These preparatory works allow construction momentum to be maintained once a decision is made and funding secured. Detailed engineering reached …
