Palisade Metals is advancing a critical minerals portfolio in the US, highlighted by a lithium-rubidium resource at the Beecher project in South Dakota. The company is also preparing for maiden tungsten drilling at the Finley Basin project in Montana.
Dakota Gold Corp. announced positive metallurgical test results for its Richmond Hill Oxide Heap Leach Gold Project in South Dakota, supporting the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study. Column leach tests on oxide material showed gold recoveries up to 92.0%, with an unweighted average of 74.2%, and no issues with preg-robbing or clay. Transition material showed lower gold recoveries, averaging 67.1%, and silver recoveries were generally lower and more variable across all material types.
Solitario Resources reported initial assay results from three core holes at the Golden Crest gold project in South Dakota, which intersected low-level gold mineralization. While the initial intercepts did not hit high-grade feeder zones, new drone magnetic surveys have identified a large, potentially significant target area on the western margin of the property.
Solitario Resources reported initial assay results from the first three core holes at its Golden Crest gold project in South Dakota, which intersected low-grade gold mineralization. While no high-grade feeder zones were identified in these initial holes, new drone magnetic survey data has identified significant new targets on the western margin of the property.
enCore Energy has received final authorization from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to begin infrastructure construction at the Dewey Burdock Uranium Project in South Dakota. The project is part of the federal Fast-41 program, which aims to accelerate permitting for critical mineral projects.
Lion Rock Resources has commenced a metallurgical and mineralogical testing program at the Volney project in South Dakota. The program uses bulk samples from surface pegmatites to evaluate recovery and processing pathways for lithium, tin, and tantalum.
Lion Rock Resources announced the remaining results from its 15-hole Phase One drill program at the Volney Project in South Dakota, confirming high-grade lithium, tin, and tantalum mineralization. The program successfully expanded the critical minerals strike to 300m long, up to 100m wide, and 150m deep, with mineralization starting at surface. All reported drill intercepts are historical, having been previously released in February 2026.
Lion Rock Resources has announced a new gold discovery at its Volney Project in South Dakota, with Phase 1 drilling confirming a 500m strike length. The results show multiple mineralized zones with high-grade cores nested within broader intervals, and all nine drill holes returned gold.
Lion Rock Resources has reported maiden drill results from its Volney Project in South Dakota, revealing significant lithium, tin, and tantalum intercepts. The Phase 1 program confirmed a multi-element critical mineral signature within a near-surface LCT pegmatite system.
Lion Rock Resources has completed Phase 1 of its exploration drill program at the Volney Project in South Dakota, totaling 3,600 metres across 15 holes. The program successfully intersected spodumene-bearing pegmatites and sulphide-bearing shear zones, with assay results expected in the coming weeks.
