Just the facts: Lindian Resources advances Kangankunde pre-development

Volta Metals CEO Karem Usenmez joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has announced the initial sampling results from the company’s recently acquired ZigZag Property, located in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Northwest Ontario. Situated within the Caribou Greenstone Belt, the under explored ZigZag property benefits from its location near two significant crustal structural trends known to host lithium pegmatite swarms, including the Falcon West and Aubury Pegmatite systems. Following the acquisition of the ZigZag Property, Volta Metals promptly collected 21 samples from the Dempster East pegmatite zone, located approximately 7 kilometers west of the company’s Falcon West pegmatite swarm. Assays from these samples confirmed the presence of exceptionally high-grade mineralization, including lithium, tantalum, cesium, rubidium, and gallium. These results validate the exploration potential of the ZigZag Property and its significance within the broader Thunder Bay Mining District. Volta Metals has outlined the next steps in its exploration strategy including stripping and prospecting to expose additional mineralized zones. The company will also detail mapping and structural analysis to better understand the geology and distribution of the pegmatites. The team also plans to conducting geophysical surveys to identify deeper or hidden mineralization targets. The ZigZag Property’s proximity to Lake Nipigon and the Caribou Greenstone Belt positions it within a highly prospective region for lithium and rare element discoveries. With a growing demand for critical minerals in the green energy transition, Usenmez expressed optimism about the property’s potential to become a key contributor to Volta Metals’ portfolio and to the broader supply chain of critical materials. #proactiveinvestors #voltametalsltd #cse #vlta #mining #lithium #citicalmetals #LithiumDiscovery #Gallium #ZigZagProperty #StrategicMetals #OntarioMining #Semiconductors #AIAdvancements #Exploration #ProactiveInvestors

Proactive’s Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts’ of the latest news from Peninsula Energy Ltd (ASX:PEN, OTCQB:PENMF). The company has has updated stakeholders on its Lance ISR Uranium Project in Wyoming, USA, following its December 18, 2024, restart. The project has run efficiently, capturing 1,100 pounds of uranium in the ion exchange system by year-end. The company is focused on ramping up wellfield operations and production flow rates. Construction of Phase II plant facilities, including resin elution and uranium precipitation circuits, is progressing, with completion expected this month. Installation of the first yellowcake dryer unit is underway, with initial production targeted for March 2025. State approval has been received to expand the mine permit area to include the Kendrick Project area, though additional permits are needed before commencing uranium recovery operations. While the Kendrick area is pivotal to Peninsula’s 10-year production plan, no operations are planned there in 2025. Peninsula ended 2024 with an unaudited cash balance of US$45 million, providing the resources to finalise Phase II construction and ramp up production from Mine Unit 3, the first unit to utilise low pH leaching. A conference call for investors, hosted by CEO Wayne Heili, is scheduled for January 16, 2025, to discuss operations and 2025 priorities. #PeninsulaEnergy #UraniumProduction #ISRMining #LanceProject #WyomingMining #NuclearEnergy #YellowcakeProduction #LowpHLeaching #EnergyTransition #MineralProcessing #MiningUpdate #KendrickProject #UraniumIndustry #CleanEnergySolutions #ResourceExpansion #MiningOperations #InvestorUpdate #PhaseIIRampUp #EnvironmentalApprovals #UraniumMarket

C3 Metals CEO Dan Symons joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil promising results from the company’s surface mapping and rock sampling program at its Khaleesi copper-gold project in Southern Peru. The project, located on the world-class Andahuaylas-Yauri Porphyry-Skarn belt, continues to deliver significant mineralization, showcasing the project's potential as an untapped resource. Recent rock chip samples from the mapping and sampling program revealed grades of up to 1.80% copper, 4.4 g/t gold, and 403 ppm molybdenum, further expanding the previously identified skarn, porphyry, and epithermal vein copper-gold mineralization. Symons emphasized the strategic importance of the Khaleesi project, which covers a 30,000-hectare concession package and lies within 45 km of major copper operations such as the Las Bambas (MMG) and Constancia (Hudbay Minerals) mines. In addition to sampling, the company has launched a comprehensive 50-metre grid soil sampling program across the project area. To deepen the understanding of Khaleesi’s subsurface potential, C3 Metals is undertaking multiple geophysical surveys, including a 45.5-line kilometre ground magnetic survey, a 24.5-line kilometre Induced Polarization (IP) survey, and a MT/AMT survey, all scheduled for completion by Q1 2025. The data from these advanced exploration efforts will be instrumental in designing Khaleesi’s maiden drill program, a key milestone as the company seeks to unlock the full potential of this promising copper-gold deposit. With its strategic location on a world-class mineral belt and ongoing positive results, Khaleesi is positioned to become a major asset in C3 Metals' portfolio. #proactiveinvestors #c3metalsinc #tsxv #cccm #otcqb #cuauf #CopperExploration #GoldMining #KhaleesiProject #PeruMining #ResourceInvesting #MiningUpdates

Eco Atlantic Oil & Gas Ltd chief executive Gil Holzman talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s strategic moves and plans for 2025. Holzman explained a key development—the completion of a $12 million equivalent share buyback through a swap with Africa Oil, reducing the share count by 16%. He emphasised that this enhances shareholder value by increasing each shareholder’s stake in the company’s assets. Holzman highlighted Eco Atlantic's portfolio of eight exploration licenses across Namibia, South Africa, and Guyana. He noted that the licenses include some of the hottest oil and gas exploration areas globally. Significant plans for 2025 include potential farm-out deals, drilling activities, and advancing partnerships with industry leaders such as TotalEnergies and QatarEnergy. Additionally, Holzman announced the appointment of Emily Ferguson, a seasoned professional with 22 years of experience, to Eco Atlantic's board of directors. Ferguson’s extensive background in exploration and geoscience, including her work with TotalEnergies, is expected to be a valuable asset to the company. Eco Atlantic is gearing up for an active year, with plans in motion across its global licenses. Holzman thanked Africa Oil for its collaboration and emphasised the impact of the reduced share count on the company’s future activities and shareholder returns.
