SAGA Metals has completed a 3,241-metre maiden diamond drill program at the Wolverine Heavy REE Project in Labrador. While all 22 holes intersected prospective REE-bearing alteration, assay results for the program are currently pending.
Eastport Critical Metals Corp. has confirmed a significant REE discovery at the Semarule Project in Botswana, highlighted by hole SEM007 intersecting 347m at 0.20% TREO. The drilling confirms continuous mineralisation across a large syenite complex, with high-value magnet rare earth oxides accounting for approximately 29% of the TREO.
Defense Metals announced final assay results from ten core drill holes at its Wicheeda Rare Earth Project, totaling 1,702 metres. The resource infill drilling successfully intersected significant widths of moderate to high-grade rare earth element mineralization, with several holes exceeding predicted inferred block model grades. These results are expected to positively contribute to an uplift in resource classification from Inferred to Indicated or better.
RareX Limited's Annual Report details substantial progress across its projects, notably the granting of a Mining Lease for the Cummins Range Rare Earths Project in Western Australia, a key de-risking milestone. Metallurgical testwork at Cummins Range achieved record rare earth and phosphate recoveries, alongside confirming viable extraction for gallium and scandium. Additionally, maiden drilling at the Khaleesi Project identified new copper mineralisation, and high-grade rare earth oxides were found at Mt Mansbridge, while the Mrima Hill Project in Kenya is advancing through a tender process with secured funding.
Omnia Metals Group Ltd pivoted its strategy to focus on critical minerals in the US, acquiring the Stibnite Ridge Antimony and Silver Project and staking the Radix REE and Gallium Project in Montana, supported by $3.1 million in capital raises. Initial reconnaissance at Radix identified high-priority REE-Nb targets, while drilling at the Salt Creek Gold Project in Australia returned no significant mineralization. The company also entered a JV for the Corvette Project, which has historical high-grade gold intercepts, and continues to hold an earn-in interest in a Canadian lithium project.
Jaguar Uranium reported assay results from a resampling program of historical drill core at its Berlin Uranium–Rare Earth Project in Colombia. The results confirmed significant rare earth oxide mineralization, including magnet rare earths (neodymium, praseodymium, terbium, dysprosium), associated with uranium, vanadium, and phosphate. The highest reported intercept was 0.63 m grading 3,570 ppm TREO and 607 ppm MREO, highlighting the polymetallic nature and strategic importance of the project.
Volta Metals announced high-grade drill results from its Springer Rare Earth Element - Gallium deposit in Ontario, Canada, highlighted by an exceptional intercept of 7.37% TREO and 252.7 g/t Gallium Oxide over 1.5m. The drilling confirmed and extended both rare earth and gallium mineralization, with gallium being richer than expected and present across all three holes. These results are expected to strengthen the foundation for an upcoming updated mineral resource estimate in Q1 2027.
Eastport Critical Metals announced highly encouraging assay results from the first diamond drill hole (SEM005) at its Semarule Rare Earth Elements Project in Botswana. The hole intersected a broad 330m interval grading 0.21% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) from 20m depth, including a high-grade section of 7.5m at 2.52% TREO and a bonanza intercept of 2.5m at 5.95% TREO. These results confirm strong grade continuity and significant scale potential over the 15km2 target area.
Eastport Critical Metals Corp. announced highly positive assay results from the first diamond drill hole, SEM005, at its Semarule Project in Botswana. The hole intersected a broad 330m zone grading 0.21% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) from 20m depth, including a higher-grade section of 47.5m at 0.64% TREO, which itself contained a bonanza-grade 7.5m interval at 2.52% TREO. Magnetic Rare Earth Oxides (MREO) account for an average of 28% of the TREO.
SAGA Metals has initiated diamond drilling at its Wolverine Heavy Rare Earth Element Project in Labrador, with the first two holes, W26-001 and W26-002, successfully intersecting the prospective REE-bearing volcanic unit. This early-stage program has confirmed the presence of the target unit at depth and identified a new sub-vertical structural mineralization style, expanding the project's exploration potential towards a maiden NI 43-101 resource estimate. While no assay results are yet available for these new holes, the geological observations are positive for the project's future.
