Asian Battery Metals PLC (ASX:AZ9) managing director Gan-Ochir Zunduisuren sits down with Proactive’s Tylah Tully to discuss high-grade copper-nickel results the company has received from its Oval copper-nickel-PGE prospect in Mongolia’s Gobi-Altai region. Drilling in hole OVD021 yielded an intercept of 8.8 metres at 6.08% #copper, 3.19% #nickel, 1.63 g/t combined precious metals (E3) and 0.11% #cobalt (12.57% CuEq) from 107.2 metres. Additionally, OVD021 intersected mineralisation across disseminated and net-textured sulphides, reinforcing the Oval system’s high-grade potential. This discovery is part of the company's Phase 1 drilling program, covering 2,183.85 metres at Oval. The mineralisation remains open in multiple directions, and downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys will direct the upcoming drilling phase to better understand the deposit's scale and orientation.

First Class Metals PLC ("First Class Metals" "FCM" or the "Company") the UK listed metals exploration company seeking economic metal discoveries across its extensive land holdings, remains focused in northern Ontario, Canada, is pleased to announce that field work on the Coco East base / precious metal property is now underway. 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 ·        Field work has commenced  on the Coco East property, base metal potential ·        The Earn-in deal with OnGold Invest Corp (“OnGold”) has been renegotiated, FCM has now acquired 100% of the property as a result  the exploration work commitment has been removed.

However, the very anomalous gold in lake sediment samples on the OnGold property constitute a significant target which too demands follow-up when appropriate.’ #gold #Criticalmetals #exploration #canada #ontario Full article-- https://lnkd.in/gyUKqxVV

BHP continues to talk up the role of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) for steelmaking. https://lnkd.in/g_jq9A3T Given it is such a major metallurgical coal exporter, it's in BHP's interests to make it seem possible to significantly cut steel emissions whilst continuing to use metallurgical coal in blast furnaces. There is not a single commercial-scale CCUS plant for coal-based steelmaking anywhere in the world and virtually nothing in the pipeline. https://lnkd.in/gcJfkAgf Rio Tinto has now committed to step up its Scope 3 emissions disclosure, leaving BHP even further behind as the laggard. https://lnkd.in/gzFwxYmy It's time for BHP to get real about steel decarbonisation. #BHP #mining #ausbiz #investing #steel #coal #energytransition

Asian Battery Metals PLC (ASX:AZ9) managing director Gan-Ochir Zunduisuren sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss newly identified exploration targets at the Yambat Copper-Nickel Project in Mongolia. The company has identified four new targets through an ongoing regional reconnaissance and exploration program. At the Oval Prospect, it has identified a new outcrop of mineralised gabbro in the South Zone. Exploration also revealed an expansion of the nickel-copper mineralised gabbro at the North Oval area, suggesting a significant northwest extension of primary mineralisation. A new copper-gold mineralisation style has also been discovered at Copper Ridge, 7 kilometres north of the Oval. This discovery features a 30-metre-wide by 400-metre-long zone of silicified, magnetite-altered andesite with significant disseminated chalcopyrite mineralisation.
