Oriole Resources PLC CEO Martin Rosser talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Bibemi Gold Project in Cameroon. Rosser confirmed a significant uplift in contained gold at Bakassi Zone 1 (BZ1), with the new estimate standing at 460,000oz—comprised of 100,000oz in the Indicated category and 360,000oz in the Inferred category. The average grade is just over two grams per tonne, based on a gold price of US$2,750/oz. The new figure represents a 23% increase compared to the January 2024 MRE and is based on just 7,000m of drilling. Rosser highlighted the strong conversion rate and noted the geometrically unified block's suitability as a starter pit. He also shared a new JORC exploration target across Bakassi Zones 1 and 2, as well as Lawa East and West, estimating an additional 145,000oz to 400,000oz of contained gold. Discussing mineral processing, Rosser said: “It bodes well for the ongoing next steps.” He detailed test work from SGS and CS Solutions, which supported a proposed flow sheet achieving around 85% gold recovery through flotation, pressure oxidation, and cyanide leaching. Looking ahead, the company will begin preliminary economic assessment studies and advance its exploitation license application with the Cameroonian government.

Krakatoa Resources Ltd (ASX:KTA) CEO Mark Major talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strategy to fast-track its advanced exploration-stage Zopkhito antimony-gold project in Georgia. Major described the project as containing “about 26,000 tonnes of antimony in the ground, at a grade of about 11.6%, and over 800,000oz [of gold] predicted there,” under foreign resource classification. The company plans to convert these foreign estimates to JORC-compliant resources this year, as it prepares a major 7,000–10,000m diamond core drilling campaign. According to Major, the project area already contains “over 27km of exploration adits,” which will also be further investigated. He highlighted that Zopkhito holds a mining license, allowing the company to move from advanced exploration into potential production more efficiently. Krakatoa also intends to begin economic studies early next year. Discussing Georgia as a jurisdiction, Major noted, “The sovereign risk is much, much lower than it used to be,” and said European investors understand the region well, making it an attractive funding and offtake market. In addition to Zopkhito, Krakatoa is progressing its rare earths project at Mount Clare in Australia, supported by a government grant.

Krakatoa Resources Ltd chairman Colin Locke talked with Proactive about the company's newly secured Zopkhito Project in Georgia, which he described as a major opportunity for investors. The project contains a JORC resource of 225,000 tonnes of high-grade antimony at 11% for 26,000 tonnes of metal, translating to a back-of-the-envelope valuation of approximately $1.30 billion based on current prices. Additionally, the project includes 7.1 million tonnes grading 3.7g/t gold for 815,000 ounces, estimated to be worth around $2.50 billion. Locke said, “This is touted to be the sixth biggest antimony project in the world.” The mineralisation is close to surface, and the company believes the resource has strong potential for expansion. He also highlighted the project's additional gold content as another value driver. He attributed the company's success in securing the project to its CEO and chief technical officer, Mark Major, whose experience in high-altitude exploration was a key factor for the local vendors. The project's location in Georgia was described as highly investor-friendly, with a 15% corporate tax rate, no native title or land access complications, and strong support for foreign investment. Locke confirmed that a maiden drilling program is scheduled to begin shortly, with Major heading to Georgia next week to prepare. He emphasised the company's past success with international projects and reassured investors of the team's experience. In closing, he noted the company's current market capitalisation of just AUD 5 million, suggesting significant upside.
St George Mining Ltd executive chairman John Prineas talked with Proactive about the company's newly announced maiden JORC resource, which he says could be among the world's most significant niobium and rare earth deposits. Prineas said the deposit features over 500 intercepts of high-grade mineralisation and boasts a rare combination of high grades and shallow mineralisation starting at surface, supporting an open pit development. “We think, possibly the second highest niobium deposit in terms of grade and, probably one of the highest rare earth deposits,” he told Proactive. He confirmed the company has already seen interest from industry players, with some expressing interest in potential partnerships and even mergers. The resource was released following St George's acquisition of the project in late February, and the company has committed to a drill program starting in the coming weeks. According to Prineas, this program could potentially double the existing resource. In Brazil, St George has assembled an experienced in-country team and engaged a global EPC contractor to progress mine development. The company has also begun metallurgical and downstream processing studies and believes the project will deliver a commercial-grade product, supported by decades of similar production by neighbours CBMM.
Interview with Shaun Bunn, Managing Director, Empire MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/empire-metals-loneee-massive-titanium-exploration-target-with-150-year-supply-potential-5528Recording date: 27th of March 2025Empire Metals has discovered what it claims is the world's largest titanium deposit in Western Australia, with an exploration target of approximately 26-32 billion tons of ore. The company is positioning itself as an emerging player in the global titanium market with this strategic discovery in a tier-one mining jurisdiction.A key advantage of the deposit is its weathered surface cap extending 60-80m deep, representing 4-5 billion tons of easily accessible, friable ore that requires no drilling or blasting. This natural feature significantly reduces potential mining costs as there is no overburden or waste to remove.The company has already achieved early success in metallurgical testing, producing a 92% titanium dioxide product that contains none of the deleterious elements such as uranium, thorium, chromium, or heavy metals that typically plague other titanium sources. This gives Empire's product a significant competitive advantage in the market.Unlike traditional titanium sources that rely on ilmenite processing, Empire's deposit contains titanium dioxide minerals that require approximately half the acid for processing – about one ton of acid per ton of mineral versus two tons for ilmenite. The company aims to produce high-value, pigment-grade titanium dioxide rather than intermediate concentrates.Empire Metals is currently working toward a JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, focusing initially on a smaller high-grade area of the massive deposit. The company recently completed a drilling program in February 2025 with 84 holes on a 100x100 meter grid, which will be expanded in the coming months.The project benefits from a favorable permitting environment as it's located on private farmland in Western Australia's wheat belt, avoiding native title issues or crown land complications. This location, combined with the strategic importance of titanium for defense and aerospace applications, could enable fast-tracking through the approvals process.With £4.8 million in cash, Empire Metals is well-funded to advance its development plans. The company expects to move toward production relatively quickly by industry standards, with potential revenue generation possibly beginning by 2026.As Managing Director Shaun Bunn summarized: "If you wanted to find the perfect source to go and change and disrupt the industry and be able to produce titanium at a lower cost and a higher quality, this is the ore body that you needed to find."Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/empire-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
St George Mining Ltd executive chairman John Prineas talked with Kerry Stevenson at Proactive about the company's recent acquisition of the Araxá niobium and rare earths project in Brazil. The deal, completed in February, provides St George with an advanced-stage project with high-grade niobium and rare earth elements. Prineas highlighted niobium's strategic importance, noting that it is primarily used to strengthen steel, with additional applications in medical technology, batteries, and defence. He emphasised the commodity's stable pricing due to limited global supply. The company secured A$20 million in funding to advance the project and is preparing a JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, expected in the coming weeks. The existing data, based on historical drilling, indicates a 20-year mine life and a US$956 million NPV under a previous non-JORC study. St George aims to optimise the project for niobium, conduct further drilling, and expand the resource. Prineas also addressed Brazil's mining jurisdiction, highlighting strong government support and agreements to expedite approvals. The company is pursuing a dual-track strategy, progressing toward development while ramping up exploration drilling to expand the resource base. Stay tuned for more updates!

American Rare Earths (ASX: ARR | OTCQX: ARRNF and AMRRY) has successfully demonstrated a tenfold upgrade in rare earths concentration at its Halleck Creek Rare Earths Project in Wyoming, USA. Large-scale metallurgical test work, conducted in collaboration with Mineral Technologies, confirmed that conventional, low-cost processing methods can efficiently upgrade the ore. Testing upgraded mineralised feedstock from 3,438 ppm (0.34%) TREO to approximately 37,200 ppm (3.72%) TREO. This process removes 93.5% of non-rare earth material early, leaving only 6.5% of mined ore for further refining, which is expected to reduce operating costs. The test work utilised MG12 Spirals and Induced Roll Magnetic Separation, both commercially proven technologies. These results validate the assumptions in the company's scoping study and provide critical inputs for the pre-feasibility study (PFS). Initial recovery rates were 62%, lower than the 78% outlined in the scoping study, however further test work is ongoing to optimise the flowsheet and improve efficiency. An updated scoping study, incorporating the recent JORC resource increase, will be issued soon. The company states that successfully demonstrating this upgrade at production scale is a key milestone that further de-risks the project as it moves toward development. #AmericanRareEarths, #RareEarths, #HalleckCreek, #Mining, #CriticalMinerals, #Metallurgy, #MineralProcessing, #Beneficiation, #MiningTechnology, #PreFeasibilityStudy, #ScopingStudy,

Excellon Resources CEO Shawn Howarth joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's latest developments, including the acquisition of a past-producing silver mine in Peru, Mallay. Previously operated by Buenaventura between 2012 and 2018, the mine has benefited from an estimated $115 million investment in infrastructure and features 50 km of underground development. Howarth highlighted that the mine is fully permitted for restart, with existing tailings capacity and an initial JORC-compliant mineral resource. Excellon plans to upgrade this to a 43-101 resource following the transaction's closure, anticipated in early-to-mid 2025. The company aims to restart operations within three to six months, targeting silver production as early as Q3 or Q4 2025. In addition to its Peruvian operations, Howarth discussed exploration plans for the Kilgore Project in Idaho. He noted that cash flow from the Peruvian mine will help fund further development, particularly in Idaho, where Excellon is investigating deeper high-grade mineralization. Howarth also pointed out that Idaho's government is actively working to streamline resource development processes, providing a favorable environment for the company's exploration efforts. Looking ahead, Howarth reaffirmed Excellon's focus on leveraging its operational expertise to develop assets efficiently and explore potential expansion in the silver sector. #proactiveinvestors #tsx #exn #shawnhowarth #mining #mallaysilverming SilverMining #MiningStocks #ShawnHowarth #PeruMining #IdahoMining #PreciousMetals #SilverProduction #MiningInvestment #ProactiveInvestors
American Rare Earths CEO Chris Gibbs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share a major milestone update on the Halleck Creek Rare Earth Project in Wyoming. The latest JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate confirms Halleck Creek as one of North America's largest rare earth deposits, reinforcing the company's progress in unlocking its potential as a strategic U.S. asset. Gibbs announced that the Halleck Creek resource has now surpassed 2.63 billion tonnes, marking a significant 12.2% increase over the previous estimate. This expansion underscores the project's transformational scalability, with mineralization still open at depth and along strike. The Cowboy State Mine, situated in the Red Mountain area on Wyoming State land, benefits from a streamlined permitting process, accelerating the project's development timeline. With favorable geology and near-surface mineralization, the site presents strong potential for a low-cost open-pit mining operation. Concurrently, ongoing metallurgical test work continues to demonstrate the project's ability to process rare earth elements efficiently. These advancements further align ARR with U.S. government efforts to secure domestic critical mineral independence, reducing reliance on imports while fostering economic growth and strengthening national security. The company is now integrating the latest resource estimates and high-grade data into its Scoping Study, which is on track for completion and release in February 2025. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearthslimited #asx #arr #otcqx #arrnf #adr #amrry #wyomingrareinc

Proactive's Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts' of the latest news from Anson Resources Ltd (ASX:ASN, OTCQB:ANSNF). The company has secured approval to drill 24 exploration holes, totalling approximately 1,000 metres, at its Yellow Cat Uranium and Vanadium Project in Utah, USA. Permits were granted by the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (UDOGM). The drilling will target a 2-kilometre mineralised trend between the Windy Point Mine and the Mineral Treasure Mine, where samples have shown up to 10.33% uranium (U₃O₈) and 25.6% vanadium (V₂O₅). Fifteen holes will be drilled on the eastern side near Windy Point Mine, with the remainder on the western side near Mineral Treasure Mine. The program aims to develop a JORC-compliant resource using new and historical data. Shallow drilling depths of 12 to 40 metres will minimise costs and environmental impact. Located in the Colorado Plateau region, Yellow Cat has garnered interest due to rising uranium prices and US support for domestic production. While the company's primary focus is on lithium projects, it continues to advance Yellow Cat and plans to commence drilling in the coming months, contingent on local conditions and equipment availability. #ProactiveInvestors #AnsonResources #ASX #OTCQB #UraniumMining #Vanadium #YellowCatProject #MineralExploration #USMining #SustainableEnergy #EnergyTransition #NuclearEnergy #UraniumPrices #JORCResource #MiningApproval #UtahMining #BLMApproval #WhiteMesaMill #NuclearPower #RenewableEnergy #CriticalMinerals #LowCostDrilling #Mineralisation

Proactive's Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts' of the latest news from Cobre Ltd (ASX: CBE). The company has provided an update on its 2024 exploration program at the Ngami Copper Project (NCP) in Botswana's Kalahari Copper Belt. Drill hole NCP56, located 2 kilometres from NCP55 and 7.5 kilometres from the Comet target, intersected widespread chalcocite mineralisation between 159 and 192 metres downhole, with grades ranging from 0.1% to 4% based on visual estimates and pXRF readings. Laboratory assay results are expected in February 2025. These findings from the new Cosmos target suggest that copper mineralisation identified in NCP42 (15 metres at 0.5% copper and 13 g/t silver) may extend over 4 kilometres. The mineralisation is hosted in fine-grained cleavage and fractures, making it suitable for acid leaching and in-situ copper recovery (ISCR). Cobre has completed 4,500 metres of infill drilling at the Comet Target, progressing towards refining the exploration target and establishing a JORC-compliant resource. The company sees these results as validating the continuity of mineralisation along the strike, reinforcing the significant potential of the Cosmos target area within NCP. #ProactiveInvestors #CobreLimited, #ASX #JTF #NgamiCopperProject, #KalahariCopperBelt, #CopperExploration, #BotswanaMining, #Chalcocite, #ISCR, #ExplorationDrilling, #JORCResource, #Mineralisation, #CopperSilver, #SustainableMining, #CopperPotential, #EnergyTransition, #AcidLeaching, #MiningInnovation, #MineralDiscovery, #ExplorationTargets, #CopperGrades, #ResourceDevelopment

Alex Scanlon, Managing Director and CEO of Barton Gold (ASX: BGD) (OTCQB: BGDFF), joins us to review multiple exploration and development news releases over the last few months, along with updates to the resource estimates at both the Tunkillia and Tarcoola Projects in South Australia. We start off reviewing the updated Tunkillia Gold Project JORC Resources that have grown earlier this year to 1.5Moz Au, and that the company has just released a Scoping Study to wrap some preliminary life-of-mine metrics and economics around the Project. Key Highlights from the Tunkillia Scoping Study: Initial 6.4 year life-of-mine (LOM) and total ~8 year project life (including construction), with a total of 30.7Mt processed materials grading an avg 0.93 g/t gold (Au) and 2.52 g/t silver (Ag) Initial LoM estimates include: total payable metal of ~833koz Au and ~1,993koz Ag avg annual production of ~130koz Au and ~311koz Ag avg operating cashflow of ~A$1,626 / oz Au (net of by-product Ag credits), and avg All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) ~A$1,917 / oz Au (net of by-product Ag credits), would currently rank Tunkillia #17 of 47 Australian gold operations reporting AISC / oz Au produced. Higher-grade ‘Starter' pit during first ~18 months of mining and processing: 4.9Mt mill feed averaging 1.26 g/t Au and 3.32 g/t Ag total production of ~181koz Au and ~420koz Ag, and avg operating cashflow of ~A$2,265 / oz Au (~A$396m total) (net of Ag credits). ~A$374m initial capital cost (incl. ~A$70m EPC), before owner costs, pre-strip and contingencies Initial Net Present Value (NPV)7.5% ~A$512m, 40% IRR and 1.9 year payback (unlevered, pre-tax) Next we transitioned over to the Tarcoola Project, and the resource updates there where the the JORC (2012) Mineral Resources were increased to ~20,00oz @ ~2 g/t Au at the Perseverance Mine area. These resources within 60 - 80 meters of open pit floor, with potential depth / strike extensions. There is ongoing drilling at Tarcoola to keep expanding the resources, with more drill news to come to market over the next few months. Alex points out that Tarcoola gives the company optionality in that it is a higher-grade open pit that could be trucked up to their 100% owned Central Gawler Mill to bring in revenues and augment the development funds needed down at Tunkillia. The Central Gawler Mill has now been reported to have a replacement cost of $100Millon (about double their current market cap), and was just cleaned out and optimized, resulting in gold being recovered and sold for $4.25Million.

Interview with Gregory Martyr, Executive Chairman of Capital Markets PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/capital-metals-aimcmet-high-grade-long-life-mineral-sands-resource-5310Recording date: 16th May 2024Capital Metals (AIM:CMET) presents a compelling investment opportunity in the high-growth mineral sands sector. The company's flagship Eastern Minerals Project (EMP) boasts a large, high-grade resource in Sri Lanka with substantial expansion potential. With a strategic partnership with experienced developer Sheffield Resources and a clear path to production, Capital Metals is well-positioned to create significant value for shareholders.The key attraction of Capital Metals is the quality and scale of the Eastern Minerals Project. EMP hosts a 17 million tonne JORC resource at a high grade, outcropping from surface along a 60km strike. Remarkably, the current resource only covers 10-20% of the company's total tenement holdings, highlighting the immense upside potential. Executive Chairman Gregory Martyr believes the resource could easily triple in size with further drilling, making it a district-scale mineral sands opportunity.Capital Metals is fast-tracking EMP towards production, with a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) underway and targeted for completion in early 2025. The company aims to make a Final Investment Decision shortly after, putting it on track for first production in 2026 at an initial rate of 650ktpa. EMP benefits from a low cost, simple mining and processing route, with a plan to produce a heavy mineral concentrate from surface mining and mobile wet concentration plants.The project is strategically located near the Oluvil Port in eastern Sri Lanka, providing a simple logistics pathway to market. While the port requires dredging to accommodate larger vessels, it provides a low-capex solution for the early years of operation. Capital Metals is also evaluating other potential logistics options as production grows, including access to larger ports by road or rail.A significant recent development is the strategic partnership with ASX-listed mineral sands developer Sheffield Resources. Sheffield has taken a 10% stake in Capital Metals with an option to increase to 14%, and is in discussions to potentially fund 50% of the project capex to earn a 50% interest in EMP. Sheffield's involvement provides a strong endorsement of the project and adds significant mineral sands development expertise. It also opens up the potential for an accelerated development timeline and expanded production scenario.The mineral sands market is experiencing strong tailwinds, driven by rising demand for titanium dioxide pigment, zircon and high-grade titanium feedstocks. With limited new supply in development globally, projects like EMP are well-positioned to benefit from the constructive commodity price outlook. Sri Lanka is a proven mineral sands mining jurisdiction, with several operations in production since the 1960s.Capital Metals is led by a highly experienced management team with a strong track record in mineral sands development. Executive Chairman Greg Martyr has over 20 years of experience in the sector, including as CEO of Mineral Deposits Limited where he oversaw the development of the Sabodala gold mine in Senegal.With a district-scale, high-grade mineral sands project, a strategic partnership with Sheffield Resources, and a clear path to production, Capital Metals presents a compelling investment opportunity. The company's current £18.8m market capitalization provides an attractive entry point, with significant potential for re-rate as it advances EMP through the development pipeline. For investors looking for exposure to the high-growth mineral sands thematic, Capital Metals is a company to watch closely.View Capital Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/capital-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Interview with Lindsay Reed, CEO of Minbos Resources (ASX:MNB)Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/minbos-resources-mnb-taking-advantage-of-rising-phosphate-prices-2011Recording date: 14th May 2024Minbos Resources, an Australian company listed on the ASX, is developing Angola's promising Cabinda phosphate project. The project offers an attractive investment opportunity in the growing African agricultural sector with a large, high-grade resource, low projected costs, and strong domestic demand.The Cabinda project boasts a JORC resource of 8 million tonnes at 30% P2O5 content. Minbos plans to produce a phosphate rock concentrate well-suited for direct application as fertiliser in the Angolan market. CEO Lindsay Reed highlights the product's high citrate solubility, ideal for Angola's phosphate-deficient soils.The project's initial capex is estimated at just US$24 million, with a quick projected payback of 2 years. Operating costs are forecast at a competitive $117/tonne, providing strong margins at current phosphate prices. Minbos aims to start construction in July 2024 and achieve first production for the 2025/26 cropping season.Minbos is uniquely focused on supplying the domestic Angolan market. Despite vast agricultural potential, Angola currently imports nearly all of its fertiliser. The government has prioritised food security and incentivised local fertiliser production. Minbos has signed an offtake MOU with Grupo Carrinho, a major Angolan food producer, for approximately 80% of the project's initial 200,000 tonne per annum output.The company has conducted extensive field trials in Angola, demonstrating yield increases of up to 300% using its phosphate product. With millions of smallholder farmers and significant undeveloped arable land, Angola's fertiliser demand is set to grow substantially.The Angolan government strongly supports the Cabinda project, granting Minbos a preferential 6.1% tax rate. The company has also secured $14 million in debt financing from the South African IDC, which sees the project as aligning with regional development goals.While the initial project scope targets 200,000 tpa of production, the facilities are designed to enable a low-cost expansion to 400,000 tpa. Minbos is exploring opportunities to serve export markets beyond Angola. Additionally, the company is studying green ammonia production in Angola, leveraging the country's low-cost hydroelectric power to potentially offer a more complete fertiliser product range.Minbos stands out among the few junior companies with African phosphate projects. Peers include Avenira, Kropz Plc, and Ikwezi Mining. Minbos differentiates itself through its Angola focus, low costs, strategic partnerships, and low capex requirements.The investment thesis for Minbos centers on its exposure to the expected growth in fertiliser demand across sub-Saharan Africa, its low-cost and high-margin project, binding off-take agreement, strong government support, expansion and diversification potential, and valuation upside as it transitions to production.—View Minbos Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/minbos-resources-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Interview with Chris Stevens, CEO of Coda Minerals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/coda-minerals-cod-robust-npv-in-south-australia-copper-scoping-study-3044Recording date: 16th April 2024Coda Minerals (ASX:COD) is an emerging copper-cobalt developer focused on the Elizabeth Creek project in the heart of South Australia's copper country. With a large resource base, compelling project economics, and multiple avenues for value creation, Coda offers investors a unique opportunity to gain exposure to the strong long-term fundamentals of the copper and cobalt markets.Elizabeth Creek is a significant copper-cobalt deposit, with a JORC resource of over 500,000 tonnes of contained copper and 23,000 tonnes of contained cobalt. A recent Scoping Study outlined an 11-year mine life operation producing 25,000-27,000 tonnes of copper and 1,300 tonnes of cobalt per annum, with robust economics including a pre-tax NPV of A$735 million and IRR of 31%.Importantly, the study results are considered conservative, with multiple opportunities identified to further optimize and enhance returns. Since the initial study, Coda has undertaken optimization work focused on the underground portion of the mine plan, delivering an impressive 30% increase in NPV. CEO Chris Stevens sees significant potential for additional improvements through resource growth, metallurgical optimization, and mine scheduling.A key point of differentiation for Elizabeth Creek is the unique nature of its cobalt endowment. The cobalt is hosted in a rare mineral called Carrollite, which is amenable to conventional processing through flotation and pressure oxidation, with recoveries of over 90%. This is a major advantage over other Australian cobalt projects, which typically face technical challenges in extracting the cobalt. The cobalt component of Elizabeth Creek could therefore command a strategic premium, particularly given concerns around security of cobalt supply.As a junior company, the key challenge for Coda is funding the development of Elizabeth Creek. Management's preferred pathway is to secure a strategic partner to finance the project through to production. Discussions are ongoing with a range of potential counterparties, and the company has prepared a comprehensive data room. Alternative funding options, such as a partial asset sale or joint venture, are also being evaluated. Importantly, Coda is not currently contemplating a highly dilutive equity raise.In the near term, Coda will continue to focus on optimization work to enhance the project economics and further de-risk the development. Key upcoming catalysts include drill results, updated resource estimates, metallurgical test work, and release of the Pre-Feasibility Study. As these milestones are delivered, Coda should be well positioned to secure an attractive funding package and advance Elizabeth Creek towards development.With a market capitalization of just A$20 million, Coda trades at a deep discount to the NPV of its flagship asset and to comparable peers in the copper space. As the company continues to systematically derisk and add value to Elizabeth Creek, there is potential for significant share price upside. For investors looking for exposure to the compelling long-term fundamentals of copper and cobalt, Coda Minerals presents a unique opportunity.View Coda Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/coda-minerals-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Interview with Shaun Bunn, Managing Director of Empire Metals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/empire-metals-loneee-titanium-discovery-could-deliver-10x-returns-4641Recording date: 6th February 2024Junior explorer Empire Metals has made waves with its recent discovery of high-grade titanium mineralization at the Pitfield project in Western Australia. Initial drill results reveal extensive near-surface deposits that could be amenable to simple and low-cost processing methods.As Empire Managing Director Shaun Bunn stated recently, “We're not a low-grade sand mineral operation or a complex hard rock mine. I think we can define a fairly simple processing route now.”This combination of scale, grade, and potential cost profile makes Pitfield a prime takeover target for titanium developers looking to secure supply. For investors, it also provides leveraged upside to rising titanium demand and prices.Last December's 40-hole, 5,718m drill campaign intercepted broad mineralized zones. Significantly, Bunn notes, “every hole from top to bottom [was] in titanium mineral.”High-grade intercepts begin at surface and extend beyond 400m depths. Three diamond holes encountered over 300m of continuous mineralization grading up to 26% titanium dioxide.With the immense mineral system confirmed, Empire has moved to metallurgical testwork and flowsheet development under newly appointed Process Development Manager Naurel Marriott.The goal is to devise a simple beneficiation process leveraging the high natural density of titanium minerals found. This may involve low-cost gravity and magnetic separation before final upgrading.To lead these efforts, Empire has recruited two industry experts with over 72 years of cumulative experience specific to titanium. Initial lab and pilot testing over the next 6-12 months will pinpoint the optimal recovery process.Rather than expend effort on a formal resource estimate at this stage, Bunn's priority is to demonstrate commercial viability. Within 18-24 months, he hopes to have an on-site pilot plant operating.As Bunn explains, “let's not try and drill this thing out and have a JORC resource because that doesn't answer the fundamental question - how do we get the titanium out and what do you make once you understand that?"With positive metallurgy results, the timeline from demonstration plant to development could be compressed. The recent $3 million financing provides a runway through these studies.For investors, Pitfield represents a unique entry point to the titanium space, just as supply shortages are forecast. As the world moves aggressively toward decarbonization, titanium will be one of the metals most critically in demand across green energy and EV applications.In Pitfield, Empire controls what may shape up as the most significant undeveloped titanium deposit globally. The next 6-12 months will go a long way in quantifying just how significant.—View Empire Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/empire-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
