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.
Noble Mineral Exploration has completed its Phase 1 summer exploration program involving surface sampling at the Chapiteau (Labrador) and Mehmet (Quebec) rare earth properties. Assay results for gold, platinum, palladium, and rare earth elements are expected in mid-August.
Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. has announced its Phase 2 summer 2026 exploration programs targeting the Chapiteau Rare Earth Property in Labrador and the Mehmet Rare Earth Property in Quebec. The upcoming work will involve surface exploration and requires helicopter support, scheduled for late June and early July.
Mont Royal Resources has completed a geological review of the BD-Zone at its Ashram REE and Fluorspar Project in Quebec, identifying it as a significant growth opportunity. The zone contains favourable REE-fluorocarbonate mineralogy with high NdPr and TbDy distributions and is situated within the current pit design. The company is now planning scoping-level metallurgical test work to quantify this potential.
Mont Royal Resources has engaged Auralia Metallurgy to conduct a flotation test work optimization program for the Ashram REE and Fluorspar Project in Quebec. The program aims to refine the existing flowsheet, evaluate fluorspar concentrate potential, and explore new processing technologies to support upcoming PFS and DFS studies.
