Aterian PLC has received a four-year exploration licence extension for its Kinunga Project in Rwanda. The company is initiating metallurgical testwork to evaluate the recovery of tantalum and niobium from weathered pegmatites while continuing lithium exploration in deeper fresh rock.
NioBay Metals has announced positive initial results from its 2026 summer-autumn drilling campaign at the Crevier Project in Québec. The first 13 holes received show tantalum intersections exceeding the deposit's average grade, with several holes reporting mineralization wider than 15 metres.
NioBay has announced the first results from its 2026 summer-autumn drilling campaign at the Crevier Project in Quebec. The results highlight several tantalum intercepts exceeding 15m in width that are above the current resource average, targeting the north, south, and deep dyke sectors.
NioBay Metals Inc. announced initial drill results from its 2026 summer-autumn drilling campaign at the Crevier niobium and tantalum project. The program identified new mineralized intersections, with several tantalum intercepts exceeding the deposit's average grade and prior resource estimate. These results will be used to update the project's resource estimate.
Arcadia Minerals Limited released its Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2026, reporting a net loss and a material uncertainty regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. The company secured a farm-in agreement for its Karibib Copper-Gold Project and granted an option for its Swanson Tantalum Project, though the latter's exclusivity period lapsed with negotiations ongoing. Resource estimates for Swanson Tantalum and Bitterwasser Lithium remained unchanged from prior years, and the Bitterwasser project's focus was reduced due to lithium market sentiment.
Australasian Metals has reviewed historical data from the Atex Lithium-Tantalum Project in Côte d’Ivoire, confirming near-surface tantalum mineralisation. The review includes high-grade historical concentrate results and 2022 metallurgical studies indicating good liberation and beneficiation potential via gravity and magnetic separation.
The company has successfully produced marketable tantalite concentrates from the CV5 deposit at the Shaakichiuwaanaan project. This metallurgical milestone demonstrates the potential for commercial-grade concentrate production.
