Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (KLD-V)   Kenorland commences exploration on its extensive land package in the western Wabigoon Subprovince, Ontario.     On June 24, 2024, Kenorland Minerals Ltd. announced that it has commenced multiple regional-scale surface exploration programs at its 100% owned South Uchi, Western Wabigoon, Flora, Algoman and Stormy Lake Projects, covering ~331,000 ha of mineral tenure in the Red Lake District and Wabigoon subprovince in Northwestern Ontario. Total exploration budget is ~$3.2M on these district scale land position and should generate targets. Kenorland remains a well-financed mineral exploration company focused on project generation and early-stage exploration in North America. Recall Kenorland holds a 4% NSR royalty on the Frotet Project, host to the Regnault gold discovery, in Québec see: https://lnkd.in/gdY94UEp). Zach Flood, President and CEO, stated; "The scale of grassroots exploration which is now underway in Ontario cannot be understated. Collectively, these campaigns will cover over 331,000 hectares of ground, within highly prospective greenstone belts, and in areas which have seen limited modern systematic exploration. In addition to the multiple first-pass, property-wide geochemical surveys covering new projects, we are carrying out detailed prospecting and HMC (heavy mineral concentrate) till surveys at South Uchi, following up on two very significant gold-in-till anomalies generated from previous regional surveys. This strategy will allow us to continue developing a strong pipeline of exploration targets with real potential for new discoveries".

Taranis was again mentioned in a Northern Miner article in a sobering overview of the B.C. Exploration sector. "Exploration spending in British Columbia is down by more than 45% since 2022, the biggest drop of any jurisdiction in Canada, PearTree Financial managing director Kendra Johnston said at the Energy Transition Metals Summit in Washington, D.C. in April". The Government's take on the same issue? During Premier Eby’s announcement at the Association of Mineral Explorers annual conference [January 2024], he shared exploration expenditures and mine production numbers for 2023, "reaffirming another strong year for B.C.’s mining and mineral exploration sector. Last year [2023], mineral-exploration expenditure in the province was $643.5 million, 94.1% higher than in 2018". 😧 Quit the political spin - This is proof, Premier Eby's government lives in the past (in fact 2018)....It's time to face the fact that the NDP Government has devastated the exploration/mining business in British Columbia. https://lnkd.in/dzrUgPna

#ASXNews Metals Australia Ltd has provided a number of updates on its high-grade flake-graphite development project in Quebec, Canada.   The update covers a project name change to reflect the position of the existing #graphite resource more accurately, a newly submitted Impact Exploration Assessment to support current drill permit application, award of a marketing contract to advance prefeasibility study work regarding graphite products and pricing and updates on existing work scopes and further planned contracts. The project is to be named the Lac Carheil graphite project – aligning the existing Mineral Resource, on the Carheil trend, and exploration focus areas to the Lake they run parallel to, Lake Carheil. The existing resources are a considerable distance from Lac Rainy and are positioned on the eastern side of Hydro Quebec’s High Voltage (315 KV) power line corridor. The primary objective of the name change is to avoid confusion among all stakeholders.   CEO Paul Ferguson commented: “We are continuing the hard work to progress our flagship critical minerals project at Lac Carheil in one of world’s premier mining regions. The regional proximity to large scale mines and communities with directly relevant skills and services and significant infrastructure – including power, road and rail all bode well for future development within the region. We have been delighted by the support our project is receiving particularly within the Quebec government, the funds we have engaged with and through existing and potential business partners. There is increasing awareness of the project’s significance and potential – as Canada and the USA seek to source their future needs for critical minerals, such as graphite, on shore. Metals Australia is also exploring pathways for supportive government grants that not only aid in funding a portion of the costs of the work we are undertaking – or plan to undertake – but also further profile the company and the project to government agencies tasked with the strategic supply of critical minerals, in North America and in Europe. Having a high-grade graphite resource with significant resource expansion potential puts us in a particularly advantageous position for those discussions."   Read the full #ASX announcement here: https://bit.ly/4cjzWJm #exploration #MLS
