First Tin (1SN LN) 17.5p, Mkt Cap £92m – By-product potential at the Taronga tin project

  • First Tin reports that recent drilling at its Taronga tin project in NSW has shown “silver and copper mineralisation associated with, and spatially proximal to, the existing tin mineralisation”.
  • The additional mineralisation is reported to occur in “two geological settings.
  • The first is as by-products associated with the tin mineralisation including:
    • A 71m wide intersection at an average grade of 3.44g/t silver, 0.07% copper and 0.09% tin from surface in hole TMTARC-056: and
    • 25m at an average grade of 4.70g/t silver, 0.08% copper and 0.13% tin from 54m depth in hole TMTARC-060: and
    • 12m at an average grade of 4.84g/t silver, 0.10% copper and 0.18% tin from 38m depth to the end of the hole TMTARC-067: and
    • 34m at an average grade of 2.86g/t silver, 0.06% copper and 0.14% tin from 18m depth in hole TMTARC-090: and
  • Secondly, as “High grade, cross-cutting, silver-rich mineralisation, not directly associated with the main tin zones and geologically similar to the nearby Webbs silver deposit” including
    • A 5m wide interval at an average grade of 506g/t silver, 2.64% lead and 1.17% zinc from a depth of 41 in hole TMTARC083; and
    • 2m at an average grade of 196.5g/t silver, 0.10% lead and 0.80% zince from a depth of 58m in hole TMTARC124; and
  • Metallurgical testing to refine the tin processing shows “that silver and copper are partially concentrated into sulphide flotation residues generated during tin concentration, dressing and clean-up”.
  • “These residues are currently planned to be stored separately in the Residue Storage Facility … preserving the option for future retreatment, subject to further test work and economic assessment”.
  • CEO, Bill Scotting, confirmed that “Taronga remains a tin-focused development project … [but said that] … given the recent increases in the prices of silver and copper, First Tin intends to undertake further technical and economic work to assess the upside potential of these metals to the overall project”.

Conclusion: Recent drilling at Taronga shows by-product silver and copper potential.

Guardian Metal Resources (GMET LN) 192.5p, Mkt Cap £322m – H1 progress on advancing Nevada tungsten projects

  • Guardian Metal Resources reports a US$5.2m loss for the six months to 31st December 2025 (2024 – US$1.1m loss) and a closing cash balance of US$10.6m.
  • The company highlights operational progress at its Nevada tungsten projects at Pilot Mountain and Tempiute.
  • An updated mineral resource estimate at Pilot Mountain “delivered a 16% increase in the Open Pit Constrained Indicated Mineral Resources vs the 2018 Scoping Study … [indicating its] … potential suitability for open-pit mining and accelerated pathway to development and progressing the pre-feasibility work for the project.
  • At Tempiute, an inaugural diamond drilling programme is currently underway and is starting to confirm “scheelite-bearing skarn intervals of varying thicknesses beyond the historical mined area”.
  • The company has acquired additional unpatented claims at Tempiute, including the old Schofield mine area, and extending “the mineralised strike length at Tempiute to approximately 3km”.
  • The company has also acquired 101 additional claims in the Walker Lane mineral belt of Nevada, including “five historical tungsten mines, to comprise the Pilot North Project, advantageously located just 15km from the Pilot Mountain Project and sharing the same access road.
  • Although it reaffirms its focus on tungsten, in the current gold price environment, Guardian Metals “has continued to advance plans to unlock value from both the exciting epithermal gold opportunity that exists at Garfield, as well as the Carlin-type gold opportunity at the Company’s Golconda project in Nevada”.

Conclusion: The focus remains on progressing the Nevada tungsten portfolio where Guardian Metals has expanded its land position at Tempiute and on the Pilot North project

New Frontier Minerals (NFM LN) 1.1p, Mkt Cap £14m – Option to earn into the Pomme REE-Nb Project, Quebec

  • The Company signed a binding option to earn a majority interest (90%) into the Pomme REE-Nb Project in Quebec, Canada.
  • The Pomme Project is a large, carbonatite hosted REE-Nb system and is being explored by ASX listed Metallium under an option with Geomega Resources.
  • Pomme is an early-stage exploration project comprising 43 mineral claims covering ~2,400ha area and is located 7km from the Geomega’s Montviel Deposit, one of the largest undeveloped bastnaesite REE deposits (266Mt @ 1.46% TREO and 0.14% Nb2O5 MRE).
  • Metallium carried a 13-hole DD programme for ~5,700m at the Project with every hole intersecting mineralisation and confirming the system over more than 2km2.
  • Large areas remain untested from reconnaissance drilling.
  • The agreement also deepens a strategic technology partnership with Metallium regarding its proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) beneficiation process.
  • The technology upgrades ROM material producing high grade, Dy/Tb rich concentrates without conventional flotation, acid leaching or reagent intensive processing.
  • Historical drilling highlights include:
    • Drillhole POM-23-03:  398m @ 0.54% TREO & 0.05% Nb2O5 from 16m, including:
      • 30.5m @ 1.13% TREO & 0.03% Nb2O5 (from 311.5m) including
        • 26.5m @ 1.45% TREO & 0.02% Nb2O5
      • 51m @ 0.92% TREO & 0.06% Nb2O5 (from 216m) including
        • 9m @ 1.21% TREO & 0.03% Nb2O5 and
      • 36m @ 0.92% TREO & 0.06% Nb2O5 (from 174m) including
        • 18m @ 1.16% TREO & 0.03% Nb2O5
    • Drillhole POM-23-01: 513m @ 0.33% TREO & 0.08% Nb2O5 from 32m, including:
      • 17.5m @ 0.68% TREO & 0.08% Nb2O5 (from 228.6m) including
        • 7.6m @ 0.9% TREO & 0.02% Nb2O5, and
  • The project is easily accessed via logging roads, has access to hydro-electric power, relatively flat topography and is supported by extensive mining infrastructure/services.
  • Next steps:
    • Preliminary metallurgical testwork on existing diamond core samples using conventional and proprietary MRM FJH beneficiation technology
    • Model geology and identify higher grade zones for follow up drilling
  • Consideration:
    • Fee on exercise of an option:
      • A$150k cash and A$200k NFM shares
      • A$100k annual minimum spend (24m period)
      • Option exercise conditions include completion of DD, third party approvals and Technology License Agreement between Metallium and NFM among others.
    • Stage 2 – JORC MRE (within 3 years)
      • A$2.0m minimum spend
      • A$250k cash and A$250k NFM shares upon earning 80%
    • Stage 3 – PFS (within 5 years)
      • A$3.0m minimum spend
      • A$250k cash and A$250k NFM shares upon earning 90%
    • Vendor retains a 10% free carried interest to DFS and if diluted <10%, interest to convert to a 1.5% NSR royalty.
    • 3rd party royalties (GeoMega/Niogold) remain in place

Conclusion: The option to earn up to 90% in Pomme REE-Nb Project in Quebec secures exposure to a large, carbonite-hosted system in a tier one mining jurisdiction with strong infrastructure and diversifies NFM portfolio that holds an interest in Harts Range REE Project, Australia. Capital efficient nature of the deal allows for a limited upfront consideration and staged earn-in milestones as NFM de-risks the asset through drilling and metallurgy before committing meaningful capital. Importantly, Metallium remains involved as a processing and technology partner with its Flash Joule Heating (FJH) that is being tested as an alternative route to beneficiation.
