‘Tis the season to be cosy: with warming soup replacing any and every meal possible, cups of tea consumed seeing incredible month-on-month growth, and the need to wear several layers to nip out the door, the outside has entirely lost its appeal.
Our warm sofas and beds tempt us with the idyllic concept of a duvet-day, and all the complaints of being stuck inside feel like a distant memory – and perhaps it is for the best to avoid the rumoured ‘super cold’. Now that everything is back in full swing, our dormant immune systems are being put to full-time work again and they can’t quite keep up now that we are back to shaking hands with reckless abandon, causing a 1% increase in GP appointments for infections since last year.

Trident noted significant developments concerning two royalties held over the Warrawoona Gold Project in Western Australia, in which it holds a 1.5% net smelter royalty over. Following recent tenement reconciliation and re-pegging activity by the operator, Calidus Resources, Trident has confirmed a significant increase in the size of the tenure included in the royalty zone at Warrawoona. The royalty applies over a significantly enlarged area, covering a minimum of 16 high priority exploration targets and a mining license for an open pit gold mine which is under construction.
BlueRock Diamonds PLC (AIM:BRD) is please to announce its Q3 2021 production update. 7,682 carats have been produced over the period, representing another record quarter driven by quality high-grade kimberlite being mined and the new crushing plant at its flagship Kareevlei Diamond Mine. The transition to the new four-pan plant is due to be completed in October.
Bluerock also received an update on the Expansion Project and Mining Development with the year-to-date development tonnage at 997kt, which is 69% up on the 2020 figure.
Bluerock’s processing plant has also seen some improvements with an upgraded screen having been fitted on the new crushing circuit, and the first line is now operational. The overall plant is expected to be fully operational in early November.
GreenRoc Mining Plc (AIM: GROC) is pleased to report on the recently completed management site visit by two of its directors to the Amitsoq Graphite Project in Southern Greenland. Drill pad locations were confirmed for the next drilling campaign following completion of a maiden drilling programme in August 2021, which confirmed the existence of two significant and laterally continuous graphite horizons.
At the Kalaaq deposit, the average grade of graphite from channel sampling is 25.6%. The company is now creating a drilling plan with the objective of declaring a maiden resource at the deposit following these these excellent grades.
Kodal Minerals PLC (AIM:KOD) announced that high grade gold mineralisation has been returned from the re-split sampling for the reverse circulation drilling at the Nielle Project located in Cote d’Ivoire. Re-split sampling completed to confirm characteristics of gold mineralised zones returns shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation with grades up to 38.5g/t gold. This is highly encouraging and drilling will re-commence to extend the depth of the gold mineralised structures once access to the area is available again.
Furthermore, Kodal received a minor update to the progress of the mining licence application for the Bougouni Lithium project with the licence in the office of the prime minister awaiting final signature.
