Red Canyon Resources engaged Geotech to conduct an airborne ZTEM electromagnetic system survey of its Scraper Springs copper project in northern Nevada last month. The survey further interprets the subsurface alteration and geological architecture at the site. “The ZTEM data will provide a three-dimensional image of the Scraper Springs project area. Our goal is to use the differences in the…

Vault Strategic Mining has entered into a Claim Purchase Option Agreement with an arms-length vendor to acquire a 100% interest in the War Bond project, which includes the historical War Bond, Tactite and Thursday tungsten mines in Nevada. “The historical War Bond tungsten mine represents a highly strategic addition to Vault’s North American tungsten and critical minerals portfolio,” said Quinn…
Read MoreExploration company G50 Corp Limited announced that positive metallurgical test work results from the company’s Golconda project in northwest Arizona confirm the ability to produce a gallium-rich concentrate using proven, low-cost processing methods. These results support the potential development of a primary gallium supply source in the United States. The exploratory metallurgical test work was undertaken by SGS Lakefield, assessing…
Read MoreLocksley Resources has commenced diamond drilling at the El Campo rare earth prospect, part of its Mojave project in California. The drilling program represents Locksley’s first systematic drill testing of El Campo and is designed to evaluate the scale, continuity and geological characteristics of rare earth element (REE) mineralization identified through historical work and recent surface sampling. “Our commencement of…
Read MoreResolution Miners confirmed it has produced antimony trioxide product from large samples of stibnite at its Antimony Ridge historical open pits, part of the Horse Heaven antimony-tungsten-gold-silver project in Valley County, Idaho. The milestone was met using the conventional pyrometallurgical process of volatilisation, producing an intermediate product, with 99.38 wt% antimony trioxide (Sb2O3wt%) content. Further refining pyrometallurgical test work is…
Read MoreDiablo Resources has identified high-priority drill targets at its 100% owned Star Range silver-antimony project in Utah, following completion of an Induced Polarization (IP) survey at the North Star Prospect. The survey has outlined multiple chargeability and conductivity anomalies that coincide with known high-grade surface mineralization and favorable geological structures, supporting the company’s plans for a maiden drilling program in…
Read MoreTaseko Mines’ Florence Copper project, featuring Metso’s copper solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) technology, is ramping up its commercial operations in Arizona. The successful harvesting of the first copper cathodes at the end of February is an important milestone for Taseko Mines and Metso, marking the first new greenfield copper production in the United States since 2008.
