Ecora Resources boosted by cobalt production ramp up @EcoraResources #LSE #TSX #OTCQX #ECOR #ECRAF. Ecora Resources PLC (LSE:ECOR, TSX:ECOR, OTCQX:ECRAF) portfolio income dropped by 10% in its latest quarter as the contribution from its coking coal royalty at Kestrel fell sharply as expected. Without Kestrel, where mining shifted to areas outside of Ecora’s royalty, income in the three months to end September 2024 rose by 4% to US$5 million helped by an almost tripled contribution from the cobalt operation at Voisey Bay. Mantos Blancos (copper) was flat while Maracas Menchen (vanadium) and Carlota (copper) saw lower contributions. Overall, group income in the... http://ow.ly/ck1K105MJg4

The Raw Materials Summit is taking place next week in Brussels and we are looking forward to join again this year! Our VP Mining Strategy, Hans Christian K., will take part in the session “The Race to Achieve Energy Security” which will discuss how the energy transition can be achieved from the perspective of supplying the necessary raw materials. Important questions will be discussed including How can Europe increase domestic production. How can it source them sustainably from like-minded third countries. What are the support mechanisms required to do this. And what are the roadblocks ahead. Learn more about the session here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dkXnaihK #RawMaterialsSummit2024 #Sustainability #EnergySecurity #FLSmidth #FLS

Great recognition for our friends from Helios 👍 Highlights two things: 1) Human pursuit & ingenuity working on tough challenges like in this case generating oxygen under the harsh conditions of extraterrestrial environments often breeds breakthrough innovations in other fields. Like Helios discovering a novel process with the potential to produce steel (and other metals) not "only" green (no direct CO2 emissions, high resource- and energy-efficiency) but at the unit economics of coal-based blast furnaces. 2) Decarbonization doesn't necessarily...shouldn't...mustn't mean deindustrialization, degrowth. On the contrary, let's go for the development and implementation of technologies that are really sustainable, allowing us to "save" climate and environment without undermining the foundation of modern civilization and progress. That enable us to produce with less externalities and costs (or at least at given costs). It's possible with the right incentives and mindset. As Helios is about to prove. 🖖

🌞𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲!🌞 Let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible strides we're making in the mining industry. From groundbreaking technology to sustainable practices, we're transforming how we extract and utilize our planet's resources. Did you know that many mining companies, like CIM | Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum partners Rio Tinto, are now using renewable energy sources to power their operations? Not only does this reduce our carbon footprint, but it also sets a new standard for environmental responsibility. Here's a shoutout to all the hardworking professionals who are driving these changes and making our industry better every day. Your dedication and innovation are paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future.🌍⛏ What advancements in mining is your company focused on? Share your thoughts and let's celebrate our collective progress together! #FeelGoodFriday #MinningInnovation #SustainableMining #MiningCommunity #Mining

AMEC applauds the Queensland Government's continued investment in the critical minerals industry with the launch of the "Queensland Critical Minerals Prospectus." It showcases projects ready for investment at different mining stages, and comes as part of Queensland's $315 million Critical Minerals Strategy. Recognising the potential of the area, Resources and Critical Minerals Minister Scott Stewart said “Queensland is in the box seat to capitalise on the global push to decarbonise because quite simply, we’ve won the geological lottery.” Featured in the prospectus are 10 AMEC member companies: True North Copper | Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited | Multicom Resources | Richmond Vanadium Technology | Critical Minerals Group Ltd | Metallica Minerals Limited | Diatreme Resources Limited | Graphinex | EQ Resources Limited | RZ Resources Read the full Prospectus ➡️ https://ow.ly/SpgM50SIQ0V Part of the launch also included a newly created interactive map outlining the critical minerals deposits, current producers, processing facilities and other infrastructure mentioned in the prospectus. To see the map ➡️ https://ow.ly/f01M50SINgf The map is dynamic and if you wish to add to it contact the department and they will enact changes accordingly. 📸 Kate Dickson & Scott Stewart MP #CriticalMinerals #DepartmentOfResources #MineralsMap #MineralDeposits #Infrastructure #QLD

Funding for early-stage exploration is a huge challenge for the mining sector, which is facing a severe discovery deficit at precisely the time we need to find more metals to feed the energy transition.    BHP’s answer to this acute challenge is BHP Xplor, a global accelerator program targeting innovative, early-stage mineral exploration companies looking for the critical resources necessary to drive the energy transition. Companies are invited to apply for purses of US$500,000 in equity-free funding through the program and Xplor will position itself to provide ongoing support for systematic exploration on the back of any early success. We look forward to hearing from Charlee Johnson and Niall McCormack who will outline the application process and include a panel discussion together with an open Q&A with attendees. #BHP #BHPXplor #ResourcingTomorrow

'Diggers: Australian Vanadium focusing on organic growth' - Adam Orlando from Mining.com.au interviewed AVL's CEO, Graham Arvidson in relation to the future of vanadium in Australia. Graham highlighted that many elements of the 'pit-to-battery' scheme are scalable, with a great opportunity for growth in the sector. VSUN Energy, AVL's wholly owned subsidiary, plays an integral role in this growth. Developing the Australian market for vanadium flow batteries for long duration energy storage for 'a very large energy market with a lack of commercially-proven technology to fill that void.'

Emmerson Resources, CuFe Ltd and Tennant Minerals have formed a Strategic Alliance to collaborate on their #copper, #gold and critical metals development opportunities in the Tennant Creek Region of the Northern Territory. The Alliance aims include: ▪️ Assess the development options including the viability of a single multi-user processing facility in the high-grade Tennant Creek region. ▪️ Completing a Scoping Study on development options for the Emmerson and Tennant Minerals 100% owned deposits and the CuFe operated JV deposits (CuFe 55% / Gecko Mining Company P/L 45%) ▪️ Upon completing the Scoping Study, undertake a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the preferred option(s) to develop the deposits ▪️ Investigate potential synergies with other explorers and developers in the region ▪️ A commitment to work collaboratively including joint funding of Alliance activities ▪️ Activities to commence in Q4 2024. Tennant Minerals CEO, Vincent Algar commented: “The production history of Tennant Creek copper and gold supports the shared facility model we plan to investigate in this collaboration. The strategy will provide a shorter pathway to production and incentivise TMS to continue its exploration effort targeting further discoveries like Bluebird on our tenements.” Read full #ASX Announcement here: https://bit.ly/3A36KZe
