🌍 Embracing Ethical Sourcing and Sustainable Development: Alluvial Mining in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱✨ Delighted to shed light on the transformative power of alluvial mining in Sierra Leone, a beacon of ethical sourcing and sustainable development in the mining industry! 💎🌱 Alluvial mining, characterized by its low environmental impact and community-focused approach, exemplifies Sierra Leone's commitment to responsible resource extraction. By harnessing the power of natural processes, alluvial mining ensures minimal disturbance to ecosystems while empowering local communities to thrive. Moreover, ethical sourcing lies at the heart of Sierra Leone's alluvial mining practices. By prioritizing transparency, and adherence to rigorous environmental standards, the country's mining sector sets a shining example for responsible resource management on a global scale. 💎🌱 Millenium Kapital has entered into a binding agreement with Earth Resources Ltd - Sierra Leone to support their alluvial mining operations. #sierraleone #alluvialmining #ethicalsourcing

This week we announced a substantial update to the Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) for the Figueira Mining Licences at our 100%-owned Caldeira Rare Earth Element Ionic Clay Project.   Key Highlights: 🔹 Figueira MRE: Grows to 170Mt at 2,766ppm TREO with a 1,000ppm cut-off. 🔹 High-grade domain: 47Mt at 4,763ppm TREO at a 3,000ppm cut-off, driving early production potential. 🔹 Overall Caldeira Project MRE: Now 740Mt at 2,572ppm TREO, up by over 80% since April 2023.   Our CEO, Nicholas Holthouse added, “The announcement of the update to the existing Mineral Resources Estimate for the Figueira Mining Licences results in a significant upgrade in the size and geological confidence of our overall Caldeira Project Resource and serves to further validate the projects position as the world’s premier ionic clay hosted rare earth element development.   We expect the additional 47Mt at greater than 4,000ppm TREO included in this update to drive further upside into our future early-stage, high-grade production profile.   We remain committed to our goal of being the lowest-cost, scalable supplier of rare earth elements to the growing western supply chain and remain on track to deliver a Pre-Feasibility Study for the Caldeira Project.”   Stay tuned for more updates as we progress towards completing the Pre-Feasibility Study in December 2024.   Read the full announcement here ➡️ https://bit.ly/3LTMagc   #MeteoricResources #MEI #RareEarths #Brazil #CaldeiraProject #Mining

Action is never far away in the world of rare earth elements. This week's #REE headlines are highlighting the opportunity delivered by #mineralsand #monazite. ACDC Metals has dropped a very strong Scoping Study for the Goschen Central project, where a mining operation is paired with downstream REE processing to deliver great returns. Congrats to the team who over delivered on this one. Mineral sand monazite utilization is an excellent example of resource optimisation, where the overall footprint of mining is reduced by capturing the full value when ground is disturbed. Monazite is a very REE-rich mineral that is abundant in the Murray Basin of western Victoria (Australia) that can supply regional demand for generations. https://lnkd.in/ggZBtSwm Look me up at the Metal Events Limited conference today in #Singapore for more information. mark.saxon@acdcmetals.com.au #EV #rareearth #zircon #rutile #titanium Tom Davidson Ivan Fairhall Andrew Shearer Richard Boyce Kent Balas Brendan Bell Matthew Saxon Mineral Technologies

Thanks for the write up Resource World Magazine Inc. on Westward Gold Inc.'s recent exploration program at our Toiyabe, Turquoise Canyon, and East Saddle projects on #Nevada's prolific Battle-Mountain Eureka Trend. Link: https://lnkd.in/gExKFBbx Commenting on the East Saddle project (which is contiguous to SSR Mining Inc.'s claim block), Rob Edie, Vice President of Exploration noted “Decalcification and silicification of carbonate rocks is a distinct marker of Carlin-type #gold deposition. It occurs when gold-bearing Carlin fluid dissolves calcium carbonate from limestone host rocks and deposits silica pervasively. In addition to silica, the process also deposits gold and other pathfinder elements. The discovery of decalcified, silicified limestone at East Saddle suggests that the area has experienced a Carlin-type mineralizing event.” #JuniorMining #MineralExploration #DiscoveryFocused #Stocks #GoldStocks #CSE #SmallCaps #VentureCapital #Drilling #MiningFinance #Nevada #Assays #AssaysPending #Catalysts

Viridis Mining and Minerals Limited has secured another 998 hectares of licences to extend and adjoin the Cupim South prospect and create a dominant land position in the wake of more spectacular results. Recent intercepts up to 23,556 parts per million total rare earth oxide were the highest grades found to date in the region's alkaline complex, providing Viridis a second major discovery in as many months and a taste of sheer scale. "This expansion marks the final puzzle piece in our plan to consolidate a corridor of landholdings between two major resources and bridge Centro Sul to Cupim South. This has increased the footprint of Cupim South from 1.71 square kilometres to a significant combined corridor of 15.75 square kilometres, comprising granted mining licences, which sets up the potential for Cupim South to be an incredible asset for Viridis concerning both grade and scale." – Viridis CEO Rafael Moreno Agha Shahzad Pervez Carly Terzanidis #Expansion #RareEarths #Mining

🌟Thunder Bay CEDC’s 2023 Year in Review 🌟 Innovation in Mining: Exciting news as we unveil the completion of the project 'The Benefits of Mass Timber Workforce Communities.' In anticipation of increased mineral exploration, this comprehensive study, with a spotlight on Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), explores the advantages of integrating Mass Timber in the mining sector's infrastructure. Here's to sustainable development and a future-focused approach! 🌲🏗️ #MassTimberInnovation #MiningCommunities #YearInReview2024

via Stockhead Olympio Metals Ltd shares rocketed up 31% to 5c in early trade to be the best performing resources junior on the ASX from open today, continuing its price trajectory up from June 24 when it was trading at just 2.2c per share. Olympio's Cadillac Project is near Canada’s only operating #lithium mine – Sayona Mining (ASX:SYA) and Piedmont Lithium (ASX:PLL) 119.1Mt at 1.1% Li2O NAL operations. Fieldwork’s comprised of pegmatite surveying using pXRF and LIBS analysers to locate potential #spodumene-bearing pegmatites suitable for drill targeting.

Balkan Mining and Minerals has returned more wide, visual spodumene from the Koshman pegmatites at the Gorge Lithium Project. Eight of ten holes have now intersected visible spodumene and come among several pegmatite occurrences as Balkan continue its march the potential of a substantial lithium deposit and full Ontario ownership. “The consistent spodumene mineralisation encountered in the initial drill testing of the Koshman pegmatite occurrence is extremely encouraging and we can’t wait to receive assay results which we hope will validate our theory that Gorge has the potential to become a substantial lithium deposit. With the last completed hole intersecting some 17m of visual spodumene, it appears that we’re getting better results as we go along so we’re hoping that the best of this program is yet ahead of us” – BMM Managing Director Ross Cotton Luke Martino Karl Simich Sean Murray Lucas Robinson Corporate Storytime #Exploration #Commodities #Lithium 📰 Subscribe to MarketOpen Insights! 🗞 https://lnkd.in/g7qSSk8m

Copper Mine for SALE Catamarca province, Argentina The project consists of five sites (Nelly Expte 66/2019 (2500 hrs), Gustavo Expte:67/2019 (2422 hrs), Ethel Expte:68/2019 (2500 hrs), Abelardo:69/2019 (6,791 hrs), Ludmila Expte :70/2019 (7000 hours) which gives a total of 21,210 hectares, of which two deposits (Nelly and Ethel) have been studied and developed, in which a giant Copper Porphyry was discovered whose dimensions were compared, reaching the conclusion which is almost double that discovered in the nearby already exploited deposit "Bajo Alumbrera", which will be explained with documentation below. The porphyry discovered and named Ut, above is located in the Nely and Ethel deposits; at the end of 2022 it will be I carried out a survey and study campaign to present the Environmental Impact studies where the Abelardo and Ludmila Deposits were discovered in the Abelardo and Ludmila Deposits the presence of Lithium both in rock and on the surface, which in 2023 will continue to study the potential of said mining properties.- #copper #mine #minning
