Origen Resources Inc. is proceeding with the acquisition of a 70% interest in the 33,075 ha Campo De Cima REE project in Brazil. Due diligence confirmed anomalous soil geochemistry with a peak of 282 ppm TREO+Y in an area conducive to ion absorption clay-hosted deposits.
Jaguar Uranium reports high-grade rare earth oxide (TREO and MREO) results from a resampling program of historical drill core at its Berlin Project in Colombia. The results confirm polymetallic mineralization including uranium, vanadium, and phosphate, aligning with critical mineral supply chain initiatives. While the grades are significant, the company notes these are exploration results from selected historical core, true widths are undetermined, and economic viability has not yet been established, with further work planned.
Tactical Resources Corp. has provided an update on its Peak Project in Texas, highlighting preliminary metallurgical results showing rare earth and yttrium extraction between 25.3% and 96.1% depending on conditions. The project focuses on utilizing existing pre-crushed fines stockpiles, though no formal mineral resources or reserves have been declared.
Leading Edge Materials Corp. reported its quarterly results to July 31, 2026, showing a net loss. The company announced the closing of the second tranche of a private placement, raising C$275,000, bringing the total from this placement to C$4.283 million. Key project updates include the grant of a 25-year mining lease for the Norra Kärr Heavy Rare Earth Elements Project in Sweden and positive testwork results for the Woxna Graphite Mine. The funds from the private placement are earmarked for PFS work at Norra Kärr, studies for Woxna, and general working capital.
Nio Strategic Metals has released a structural interpretation of the Oka carbonatite based on a high-resolution heliborne magnetic and radiometric survey. The survey identified five major magmatic structures with potential for rare earth element (REE) and niobium mineralization, leading to a recommendation for a 4,460-metre reconnaissance drilling program.
Eastport Critical Metals has reported highly encouraging first drill results from its Semarule Project in Botswana. Diamond drill hole SEM005 returned a broad 330m intersection at 0.21% TREO, including high-grade segments of up to 5.95% TREO.
Defense Metals Corp. announced initial drill results from its 2026 program at the Wicheeda Rare Earth Project, highlighting significant high-grade rare earth element mineralization. Key intercepts include 2.86% TREO over 65.1 metres, with a higher-grade section of 6.15% TREO over 20.3 metres. This infill drilling aims to upgrade inferred resources to indicated within the current pit design, with further assay results pending.
SAGA Metals has commenced a 5,000-meter diamond drilling program at its Wolverine Heavy Rare Earth Element Project in Labrador, Canada. The first two holes, W26-001 and W26-002, successfully intersected the prospective REE-bearing volcanic unit, with W26-002 representing a 200-meter step-out. Importantly, core logging identified a new sub-vertical breccia-fracture network mineralization style, which is considered highly significant for defining depth potential across the property, though no assay results for these new holes were reported.
Avalon Advanced Materials has submitted a full project proposal to Natural Resources Canada seeking approximately C$20 million in funding. The program aims to advance the Nechalacho Rare Earth Elements Project through feasibility-level engineering (AACE Class 3) and the validation of the Hybrid Supercritical Refining (HSR) process via a modular demonstration plant.
Metallium Limited has reported successful testing of its proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology. The tests demonstrated the technology's ability to process various strategic feedstocks, including rare earth ores, germanium-bearing wastes, PGMs, and red mud.
