Blackhawk has company-making potential, says Sierra Nevada chair
Published: 21 May 24
ASX-listed exploration company Sierra Nevada has unveiled a high-grade intercept of up to 1 270 g/t at its Blackhawk ephithermal project, in Nevada, US, and says it plans follow-up drilling in hole BHD006.
The company previously identified a large and high-grade intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold/silver/lead/zinc vein system, likely related to a porphyry system located immediate south. Partially coincident with the porphyry system, the Blackhawk epithermal project vein system covers about 5 km2 and is open under cover to the north and north-east, with 22.5-line kilometres of veins identified to date.

Anglo shareholder LGIM supports break-up plan as BHP circles
Published: 21 May 24
Anglo American shareholder Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) supports the break-up plan announced by the company last week, it said on Monday, as the deadline approaches for BHP Group to log a formal takeover offer.
The radical plan to divest Anglo's less profitable coal, nickel, diamond and platinum businesses followed its rejection of two all-share takeover approaches from BHP, the world's biggest listed mining group, which had proposed a $43-billion deal on the condition that Anglo first spins off its South African operations.

Kefi announces launch of Tulu Kapi project
Published: 20 May 24
Aim-listed gold and copper exploration and development company Kefi has announced that the Tulu Kapi Gold Mines (TKGM) board has formally launched the project. "Our launch timing is fortuitously coinciding with the improved conditions in Ethiopia and all-time high gold prices. Tulu Kapi's high grade and high process recovery, combined with our project design, has resulted in a robust set of economics for long-term operations which should support further exploration and development along with good opportunities to continue supporting local social development projects such as the already provided local school and water supply. The returns for the capital investors and lenders are attractive and the recent exemptions from exchange controls has rendered the Ethiopian mining investment climate internationally competitive,” Kefi executive chairperson Harry Anagnostaras-Adams said on May 20.

Published: 20 May 24
Copper's lightning rally to record highs may not be sustainable in the coming weeks, with action concentrated on the shipment of material to cover exposed short positions in the US Comex futures market rather than tepid demand in top consumer China.
Prices on the CME Group's Comex hit a record last week, while benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME) rocketed on Monday to an all-time peak of $11 104.50 a metric ton, having surged 28% so far this year.
