Gold Road Resources Limited (ASX: GOR), a gold production and exploration company, has issued a production update in response to significant rainfall affecting operations at the Gruyere gold mine — located in Western Australia's north-eastern Goldfields. The Gruyere gold mine is a joint venture (JV) between Gold Road Resources and Gold Fields (JSE: GFI), with each holding a 50 per cent interest. Gold Fields manages and operates the mine, while Gold Road Resources maintains a significant investment portfolio. Following substantial and prolonged rainfall in early March, the region experienced further significant and atypical rainfall in the second half of the…
Mont Royal Resources Limited has unveiled its initial exploration findings from the first phase of the lithium exploration program at the renowned Northern Lights Projects, located in the prolific Upper Eastmain Greenstone Belt in Quebec, Canada. Exploration achievements have been realised by the company across two distinct territories for both the Boheir and Léran projects. Boheir project discoveries include the identification of outcropping Spodumene-bearing pegmatitesin the South-West corner of the property, specifically in two outcrops — 30 square metres and 45 square metres, spaced 16 metres apart. These are situated in a substantial 500 metres-wide greenstone unit that stretches 15…
Resource exploration company Loyal Lithium Limited announced the company’s plans to commence an initial drilling program at its Trieste Lithium Project towards the end of September 2023. The drilling will target Dyke #01, a large, prominent weather-resistant outcrop ridge with a mapped surface expression of 4,000 square metres with an approximate length of 200 metres and an apparent maximum width up to 35 metres. Dyke #01 is the largest outcrop by surface area and topographic prominence of the five spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes discovered during the recent field mapping and sits within a 400 metres long zone of interest. The drill…
Exploration and development company Toubani Resources has announced the appointment of Lycopodium Minerals as the engineering lead for the Definitive Feasibility Study Update (DFS Update) of the company’s Koboda Gold Project in southern Mali.
