Western Copper and Gold Corporation is a public company that trades under the symbol “WRN” on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: WRN) as well as under the symbol “WRN” on the New York Stock Exchange American (NYSE American: WRN).

Western Copper and Gold holds significant gold, copper and molybdenum resources and reserves in its Casino Project located in the Yukon, Canada. Casino contains 14.5 million ounces of gold, 7.6 billion pounds of copper,  and 113.5 million ounces of silver in proven & probable reserves.

Peninsula Energy Limited is an ASX listed company that wholly owns the Lance Uranium Projects in Wyoming, USA which are in transition from an alkaline in-situ recovery to a low pH in-situ recovery operation, with the aim of achieving the operating performance and cost profile of the industry-leading global uranium production projects.

The alkaline in-situ recovery uranium operations commenced in December 2015 and ceased in July 2019 primarily as a consequence of lower than expected recoveries.  A Feasibility Study on the low pH in-situ recovery process was published in September 2018 and demonstrated the robust economics of the proposed transition.  Since 2018 research studies and a 2019 field trial in a previously mined area have produced results that strongly validate the 2018 Feasibility Study parameters.

The Lance Projects are the ONLY US-based uranium project authorised to use the industry-leading low pH in-situ recovery process.  Over the next 12 to 18 months the focus is on site-specific technical, process development and optimisation activities.

The Company commenced the MU1A low pH field demonstration in August 2020.

Cobalt Blue Holdings was founded in 2016 and is now ASX-listed (ASX:COB). They are a cobalt development and technology company focusing on advancing and developing cobalt mining and refining operations in Australia.

In 2017, the co-founders, Ali Haji and Matthew Wood, identified an opportunity for lithium exploration and development while on a trip to Mongolia for another mining entity. They recognized that our world was on the brink of a Green Revolution, and that the move away from fossil fuels would create unprecedented demand for battery metals, including lithium. Ali and Matthew started discussions with the Mongolian government about the potential for lithium in-country – and the vision for ION Energy was born!

The first asset was a license in the arid and infrastructure rich region of the South Gobi Desert, just 24km from the Chinese border. The Baavhai Uul Lithium Brine license was acquired in 2019, and since then the ION Energy team has pursued an aggressive growth strategy.
