Despite a decrease in rare earth production, Lynas Rare Earths remains on track with the ramp-up of the Kalgoorlie facility in Western Australia.

In the June 2024 quarter, Lynas produced 2,188 tonnes of total rare earth oxide (REO) and 1,504 tonnes of neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr). Lynas Managing Director and CEO Amanda Lacaze attributed the production decrease compared to the previous quarter to "essential maintenance" activities at Lynas Malaysia.

Great Boulder Resources has identified two significant gold targets through a recent soil geochemistry program at the Side Well Gold Project in Western Australia.

At Side Well South, one target spans 2.4km and features an Ironbark-style structure with peak gold values of 75 parts per billion (ppb). The other target is a 1.4km-long anomaly with bismuth and molybdenum.

The company, with a market capitalization of $33.96 million, noted that both targets are near the historic Golden Bracelet Mine, which historically produced over 1,000 ounces of gold at 27 grams per tonne.

Bellevue Gold has exceeded the midpoint of its June quarter guidance for the 2023-24 financial year (FY24) due to a continuous production ramp-up.

For the second half of FY24, total gold production reached 80,043 oz, surpassing the company's guidance range of 75,000-85,000 oz.

It's been an eventful week for Silver Lake and Red 5 Resources, as the Supreme Court of New South Wales has approved their merger bid.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court issued orders approving a scheme of arrangement under which Red 5 will acquire 100% of Silver Lake shares.

Silver Lake plans to lodge an office copy of the Court’s orders with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission today, making the scheme legally effective.

Once the scheme is implemented, Silver Lake will delist from the ASX, and new Red 5 shares will begin trading on June 20.

Spartan Resources has reported its "deepest intercept to date" at the newly discovered Pepper prospect within the Dalgaranga gold project in Western Australia.

The Pepper discovery was announced by Spartan in April, described as "a new high-grade gold lode" located about 90 meters south of the Never Never gold deposit.
