Empire Metals Ltd (AIM:EEE) managing director Shaun Bunn talked with Proactive about the company's latest metallurgical test results at the Pitfield project. The test work delivered an impressive 91.6% purity titanium dioxide compound—achieved on the first attempt. Bunn emphasised that this high-grade product is free from deleterious contaminants, making it suitable for further processing into titanium sponge metal or premium-grade titanium pigments. He explained that the team successfully extracted and refined the titanium-bearing minerals using gravity separation, flotation, and acid digestion techniques. The company is now focused on optimising its processing flow sheet and scaling up test work. Recent bulk metallurgical sample collections at Pitfield will support larger-scale testing, with the goal of producing more of this high-grade product for market analysis. Bunn also highlighted that the simplicity of Pitfield's mineral composition, free from heavy metals or radioactive elements, has contributed to the rapid progress in refining processes. With further purification testing ahead, Empire Metals is poised to advance its titanium strategy. For more insights from this interview, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR) executive director Claire Bay talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest results from the maiden drilling program at the Mbe Gold Project in Cameroon. The company has released results for holes 3 and 4, with hole 3 delivering the highest-grade mineralisation to date, including 4.24m at 7.7g/t gold and 8m at 1.03g/t gold. Bay highlighted that these results support the significant geochemical footprint already identified at the site. The first 150m of hole 3 averaged 0.48g/t gold, demonstrating mineable widths of mineralisation. The program, now over 30% complete, continues to confirm a strong gold presence, with over 60 mineralised intervals recorded so far. She explained that the structural controls at Mbe are becoming clearer, with north-northwest trends delivering higher-grade intersections. These align with surface sampling results, where grades reached up to 250g/t gold. Looking ahead, Oriole Resources expects a steady stream of results in the coming months as drilling continues. The company plans to complete a mineral resource estimate later this year, with a second major anomaly to the north of the current target set for future drilling. #OrioleResources #GoldMining #Cameroon #GoldExploration #MiningUpdates #DrillingResults #Investing #MiningNews #GoldStocks

Millennial Potash Corp (TSX-V:MLP, OTCQB:MLPNF) is advancing its Banio Potash Project in Gabon, leveraging extensive historical data and significant resource potential. Speaking at the PDAC conference in Toronto, Chairman Farhad Abasov shared key updates with Proactive’s Angela Harmantas, highlighting the project’s economic viability, strategic location, and government support. A recently completed economic assessment confirmed a 1.7 billion tonne indicated and inferred resource estimate, reinforcing the project’s scale and cost competitiveness. Abasov emphasized Banio’s proximity to major agricultural markets such as Brazil, India, China, and Africa, ensuring strong demand for its potash production. Gabon’s mining reforms have strengthened the project’s outlook, with the government actively supporting the Banio Project. Abasov noted a recent visit from the country’s president, signaling confidence in its economic and strategic value. Key milestones for 2024 include ongoing environmental studies, a second phase of drilling to expand the resource base, and the initiation of a feasibility study, which will run parallel to environmental assessments and is expected to conclude by early 2025. With strong backing, a large resource base, and a clear path to development, Millennial Potash is positioning itself as a major future supplier of potash, supporting global food security while contributing to Gabon’s economic growth. #tsxv #mlp #otcqb #mlpnf MillennialPotash #PotashMining #GabonMining #BanioProject #MiningInvestment #NaturalResources #MiningStocks #Commodities #SustainableMining #ProactiveInvestors

Sayona Mining Ltd Managing Director & CEO Lucas Dow talked with Proactive about the company’s growth strategy and key priorities for 2025. He highlighted that Sayona Mining is currently North America's largest spodumene producer, with over 200,000 tonnes produced annually at its North American Lithium (NAL) facility. The company also has its Moblan project, a greenfield development in partnership with Investment Quebec. Dow discussed the strategic rationale behind Sayona’s merger with Piedmont Lithium, announced in November 2024. He noted that extensive exploration at NAL had significantly increased the resource base, making an expansion possible. However, an existing offtake agreement with Piedmont posed challenges, which the merger resolves. Sayona expects operational synergies from the merger to generate cost savings of between $15 million to $20 million per year. For 2025, the company’s key priorities include reducing unit costs, optimizing production, and achieving cash break-even. Additionally, Sayona is focused on completing the merger by mid-year and progressing both brownfield expansion at NAL and development at Moblan. Dow emphasized the company’s commitment to efficiency and growth, stating, "We’re really quite excited about the opportunity this move is going to provide."
