Heavy Minerals (ASX: HVY) non-executive chairman Adam Schofield joins Small Caps to discuss the company’s latest results from drilling programs across its garnet projects in Western Australia.

The explorer this week announced the completion of a maiden drilling program at the Red Hill prospect, reporting “many positive visual results”. Assays are expected to return in March.

Heavy Minerals hopes to release a maiden resource in the second quarter of 2023, pending results.

The company also recently completed additional air core drilling at its Port Gregory project to test resource extensions to the north, east and south.

An updated JORC resource is scheduled for Port Gregory in March ahead of a pre-feasibility study expected to start in April.

Piedmont Lithium (ASX: PLL) president and chief executive officer Keith Phillips joins Small Caps to discuss the latest progress made at the company’s North American Lithium (NAL) operation in Canada.

Piedmont and its joint venture partner Sayona Mining (ASX: SYA) fed 4,000 tonnes of spodumene ore into the plant last month as part of the concentrator commissioning process, with automation, electrical and mechanical circuits checked and tested by pre‐operational verification teams.

The operation is expected to initially produce around 220,000t per year of 6% spodumene concentrate, which equates to about 30,000tpa of lithium carbonate equivalent.

Work on restarting the concentrator had reached almost 90% by the end of December with all critical equipment and environmental approvals received.
