Strategic Minerals PLC - London-based mineral producer, which operates in the UK, US and Australia - Subsidiary Cornwall Resources Ltd completes diamond drilling programme at the Redmoor Tungsten-Tin-Copper Project in southeast Cornwall, England. Strategic Minerals says over 5,048 metres of core has been drilled, logged and reviewed for sampling, having on November 10 reported "exceptional results from drillholes CRD033 and CRD034b". CRD035 and CRD036 are currently being processed and analysed, and the firm expects results "imminently" from CRD035. Says CRD041 passed through an underexplored section of the Redmoor deposit and identified visible tungsten, tin and copper mineralisation within the intersected sheeted vein system; confirmed the continuity of mineralised structures, and the SVS, to the westward-most extent of the explored deposit; and found additional zones of mineralisation outside of the SVS. Expects results from flotation testing in the first quarter of 2026, as metallurgical testwork for flowsheet design is "progressing ahead of schedule". Read More

Blencowe Resources PLC - London-based mining company - Says definitive feasibility study confirms "outstanding economics" for its Orom-Cross graphite project. Says DFS assesses an initial 15-year life of mine and that it expects "significant" extensions "as further drilling converts additional resources to reserves", since only around 2% of the deposit is drilled so far. DFS highlights include a net present value of USD1.09 billion, average annual earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of USD230 million per year over the LOM, and free cash flow of USD2.03 billion over the initial 15 years. Also, DFS gives Orom-Cross a 96% projected internal rate of return and all-in sustaining costs of USD485 per tonne over LOM. Company says the project will start with phase 1 production, and that its "primary corporate focus" is the "immediate next step" of securing the funding package to initiate ordering, construction and commissioning. It will implement phase 2 within two years of P1 commissioning. Read More
