American Rare Earths Limited CEO Donald Swartz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share significant metallurgical results achieved as part of a consortium led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The collaboration is part of a program funded by the Environmental Microbes initiative, involving cooperation between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of Kentucky.

Swartz told Proactive the Halleck Creek ore was effectively preconcentrated to 3.5% Total Rare Earth Oxides at a 12:1 upgrade ratio. This represents an impressive ~200% increase compared to the existing flowsheet design that uses low-cost, conventional Dense Medium Separation. Preconcentration is a crucial step in the ore processing workflow, allowing for the removal of a significant portion of non-valuable material, ultimately improving overall efficiency.

The successful preconcentration process has significantly reduced the Wet High-Intensity Magnetic Separator (WHIMS) needs by 70% compared to the existing design. This reduction in magnetic separation requirements is a substantial cost-saving measure, reducing both capital and operating expenditures.

The feed mass entering the direct leaching process has been significantly reduced from 16% to 7%, representing a 56% reduction in material reporting to the leach circuits. This substantial reduction further enhances the efficiency of the leaching process and lowers operating costs.

With these promising results in hand, ARL is now planning to implement these improvements into its flowsheet and scoping study. These findings not only enhance the overall efficiency of the ore processing workflow but also position ARL for cost savings and improved resource utilization in its rare earths extraction efforts.

Empire Metals Ltd managing director Shaun Bunn joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with restults from the company's latest drilling program at Pittsfield in Western Australia.

Bunn revealed that the second RC drilling campaign was a major success, with each of the 40 holes drilled striking titanium mineralization from surface to end. This outcome confirms the presence of a giant mineral system extending over a 25-kilometer strike length. Following the success of their maiden drilling program and the second assay phase, Empire Metals plans to initiate a combined diamond and RC drilling program starting February, aiming to further explore and develop this massive deposit.

Bunn also discussed a £3 million placement. The funds raised are crucial for accelerating potential development, including detailed metallurgical and mineralogical studies, and enhancing their technical team. Bunn emphasized the importance of establishing an economic value for the discovery and exploring potential metallurgical processes for mineral extraction.

This phase of development represents a significant step forward for the company, as they move from preliminary exploration to detailed development and extraction planning.

Coro Energy PLC managing director Michael Carrington joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of a debt finance agreement to fund the initial rollout of its rooftop solar panels on Mobile World Investment Corporation sites in Vietnam.

Vietnamese lender HDBank has made an in-principle offer to provide funding for the pilot stage of the project.

This would stretch to ten prospective locations for rooftop solar to be fitted initially and would cover half of the capital needed for each.

Carrington highlighted the significant role of debt finance in this endeavor, notably from HDX Bank, a local Vietnamese institution experienced in rooftop solar financing.

This initiative is in partnership with Mobile World Investment Corp (MWG), presenting a substantial opportunity for Coro Energy. Carrington explained the pilot project's funding, which is just under $300,000 for 10 sites, with HDX Bank committing to 50% of the debt finance. This prudent approach ensures a thorough evaluation before broader implementation.

Oriole Resources PLC chief executive Tim Livesey joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of a definitive earn-in agreement for its Mbe gold project in Cameroon, its second deal with BCM International this month.

On 5 January, Oriole also signed an earn-in with BCM for the Bibemi project again in Cameroon.

At Mbe, BCM can earn up to 50% for a US$1 million signature payment plus U$4 million in exploration expenditure and resource-linked success payments.

Livesey also discussed encouraging sampling results from the Mbe project, completed as part of a ‘due diligence’ programme of work by BCM.

The FTSE 100 started the week on the front foot after strong gains on Wall Street on Friday ahead of the next round tech company earnings.

Banks and US-focused stocks such as bookmaker Entain are leading the way in London with the blue chip index up by 16 at 7,478 in early trades.

US tech will dominate this week with Tesla, Intel, and Netflix among those reporting and share prices have been rallying strongly in anticipation.

In contrast, company news was light in London today with Martin Sorrell’s new S4Capital rallying a little on a trading update that at best suggested things aren’t getting worse for the ad agency.

Compass is bolstering its position in the contract catering market with the £450m acquisition of CH&CO for up to £475m, while Endeavour Mining steadied the ship with a production update.

Gold explorer Oriole Resources was among the small caps going well, jumping by a third after unearthing some big grades in samples from a project in Cameroon.

Lumina Gold CEO Marshall Koval joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share some exciting developments from the 2023 Phase 1 mining resource conversion drilling campaign at the Cangrejos Project in Ecuador. This drilling campaign extended its scope to include resource drilling at both the Cangrejos and Gran Bestia deposits, marking a significant step in Lumina Gold's ongoing exploration efforts.

One standout result that Koval emphasized was from hole C23-253, where a 2-meter section from 40 to 42 meters exhibited an astonishingly high-grade gold assay of 580 g/t. This impressive find underscores the project's tremendous potential and further bolsters Lumina Gold's position in the region.

The drilling campaign's successful completion is particularly crucial as it supports various key aspects of the ongoing Feasibility Study. These include a revised resource estimate, pit slope design, and extensive metallurgical testing, which now includes High-Pressure Grinding Roll testing. All these elements combined represent a comprehensive approach to advancing the Cangrejos Project to its full potential.

These highly promising assays not only highlight the substantial value hidden beneath the surface but also indicate that Lumina Gold is well on its way to unlocking the full potential of the Cangrejos Project. The company's commitment to meticulous exploration and resource development serves as a testament to its dedication to realizing this exceptional opportunity in the world of mining and precious metals.
