Critical Mineral Resources (CMR LN) 2.35p, Mkt Cap £7.7m – Working towards initial MRE at Agadir Melloul in Q3

  • Critical Mineral Resources has provided a progress report on its drilling at the Agadir Melloul copper/silver project in Morocco where it currently has two diamond drill rigs in operation.
  • The company completed 720m of drilling in February “reflecting a combination of adverse weather conditions and contractor rig breakdowns” but now reports daily drilling rates in excess of 50m between the two machines.
  • “With both rigs now operating effectively, the Company expects to drill close to 1,000 metres in March and intends to increase this rate to 1,200 metres per month in the coming months”.
  • Today’s announcement confirms “visible sulphide mineralisation” in core from Zones 1 and 2 and photographs included in the news release show examples including what appears to be secondary copper mineralisation.
  • CEO, Charlie Long confirmed that “drilling operations at Agadir Melloul are now running smoothly … [following] … a challenging start to the year”.
  • Mr. Long commented that “Agadir Melloul continues to demonstrate the characteristics of a potentially significant copper system, with shallow mineralisation, encouraging grades and considerable exploration potential across the wider licence area”.
  • An initial mineral resource estimate (MRE) focussing on “shallow mineralisation identified within a small portion of the overall Agadir Melloul licence area … [is expected] … in Q3 2026”.
  • The MRE will precede “the mining studies required for the Agadir Melloul feasibility study, including mine design and production scheduling, with the objective of supporting the development of an initial mining operation”.

Conclusion: Drilling at Agadir Melloul in Morocco is accelerating as the company works towards an initial MRE in Q3 2026.

 

Galantas Gold* (GAL LN) 39p, Mkt Cap £161m – Drilling gets underway at Indiana

  • Galantas Gold, who have recently positioned as a Chilean gold developer, provide an update from their Indiana gold project in northern Chile.
  • The Company has begun a 17 hole, 5,000m diamond drill programme at Indiana.
  • The drilling is intended to tighten up drill spacing and support the team’s geotechnical understanding of the underground resource.
  • Additionally, drilling will test for high-grade gold mineralisation down-dip of the Bondadosa and Flor de Espino gold veins to expand the MRE and extend mine life.
  • Extensions of the known vein systems will be targeted c.200-350m below surface.
  • Indiana holds an inferred MRE of 4.93mt at 2.24g/t Au and 1.31% Cu for 356koz Au and 65kt Cu.
  • Drill results will support the completion of the Indiana PEA, due May 2026.

Conclusion: An exciting period for Galantas as they begin their first drilling programme at Indiana, which hosts a high-grade underground vein-hosted gold-copper deposit. Drilling will both derisk future mine planning with infill and target down-dip extensions of known mineralisation. Management sees significant expansion potential to Indiana’s 4.93mt MRE and will target higher grade and wider zones of mineralisation at the Bondadosa and Flor de Espino veins. The Company is looking to deliver a PEA in May 2026 before bringing the Project into production in 2H26. Galantas is aiming to bring two low-CAPEX projects into production over the next 18 months, targeting 100kozpa AuEq from late 2027. We see Galantas as one of the most interesting gold development stories in London currently and we look forward to further derisking of both Indiana and the Andacollo heap leach project.

Gem Diamonds (GEMD LN) 3.9p, Mkt Cap £6.4m – Positioning to capture any improvement in the global rough diamond industry

  • Gem Diamonds reports a loss of US$9.1m for 2025 (2024 profit of US$8.1m).
  • After allowing for exceptional items totalling US$95.4m, including asset impairments of US$77.5m, the attributable loss for the year amounts to US$104.0m.
  • The impairment of the Letšeng mine reflects “prolonged downward pressure on the rough diamond market and the weakened US dollar against the Lesotho loti” as well as a write-down of value of the mine’s ore stockpiles “due to lower diamond prices and the weakened US dollar at 31 December 2025”.
  • In September, the company announced cost control measures, including a reduction in the mine’s operating life from 2039 to 2035 and large cuts in the workforce in response to “Sustained pricing pressure, softer demand in key markets, ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, and tariff uncertainties in respect of India … [which] … combine to create difficult trading conditions”.
  • The financial results reflect the recovery of 90,354 carats of diamonds (2024 – 105,012 carats) at an average value of US$1,105/carat (2024 – US$1,390/carat) generating revenue of US$98.4m “a 36% decrease compared to 2024”.
  • “The Group ended the year with a cash balance of US$3.8 million and drawn down facilities of US$23.9 million, resulting in a net debt position of US$20.1 million and available undrawn facilities of US$68.3 million”.
  • Mining recovered 9 individual diamonds larger than 100 carats in 2025 (2024 – 13 diamonds) and the company confirms that so far in 2026 it has recovered “two notable diamonds”, a 192 carat stone and a 105 carat stone “underscoring Letšeng's continued ability to produce exceptional large diamonds”.
  • Commenting on the diamond market, Gem Diamonds describes 2025 as “a particularly difficult year … [with prices] … under pressure from a combination of elevated inventory levels, weak demand in important markets and the growing prevalence of synthetic diamonds, specifically in smaller size categories”.
  • “These industry dynamics were compounded by persistent global macro-economic headwinds such as the impact of US tariffs and a weakening of the US dollar, and an increasingly unstable geopolitical environment”.
  • Looking ahead, CEO, Clifford Elphick, said that “In the medium to long term, rough diamond prices should be supported by favourable demand and supply fundamentals, with a projected further decrease in natural rough diamond supply”.
  • Mr Elphick said that “streamlining of the cost base of the Group has positioned it well to navigate the prevailing diamond market conditions, and we are confident that the implemented measures have better equipped the Group for recovery as market conditions improve”.

Conclusion: Gem Diamonds restructuring and financial impairments in 2025 are intended to position the company to weather current diamond market pressures and to benefit from any future improvement in the global rough diamond market.

 

Rome Resource (RMR LN) 0.3p, Mkt Cap £20m – Kalayi drilling shows further tin mineralisation beneath the existing resource

  • Rome Resources reports that it has completed almost 2,700m of core drilling at its Kalayi tin prospect in its Bisie North project in the DRC since drilling was restarted in late 2025.
  • The current programme is “nearing completion, with the final two holes currently being drilled”.
  • “Recent drilling continues to confirm the presence of high-grade tin mineralisation, including strong intercepts encountered at depth beneath the existing Mineral Resource Estimate” of 0.33m inferred tonnes at an average grade of 1.36% tin which was released in October 2025.
  • The October release also reported 3.16mt at an average grade of 1.45% copper, 0.19% tin, 2.72% zinc &14.3g/t silver at the nearby Mont Agoma prospect.
  • Drill core samples have been shipped to Johannesburg for assay and in the interim, the company reports promising indicative tin grades from “on-site portable XRF” equipment with mineralised intervals of up to 10m (from 220m depth in hole KBDD-029) and narrower, and shallower, intervals in holes KBDD-028 and 030.
  • Commenting on the latest drilling results CEO, Paul Barrett, said that they “continue to demonstrate that high-grade tin mineralisation persists at depth beneath the existing resource, validating our structural model for the deposit and reinforcing the potential for resource expansion”.
  • He also said that “We look forward to incorporating the resulting assays from this programme into the Company's next Mineral Resource Estimate update for Kalayi as we continue our ongoing discussions with potential strategic partners regarding development pathways for the asset”.

Conclusion: As the current programme draws to a close, the latest drilling results from Kalayi show tin mineralisation extending at depth beneath the existing resource. Assay results are awaited.

 

Sovereign Metals* (SVML LN) 43.5p, Mkt Cap £283m – Resource jumps 32% to 2.1bnt of Rutile at 0.96% increasing project value

(Sovereign currently holds 100% of the Kasiya project. Malawi has 10% free carry right. Rio Tinto holds 18.5% of Sovereign Metals)

  • Sovereign Metals report the estimation of a new 2.1bnt JORC resource at the Kasiya rutile and graphite mining project in Malawi.
  • M&I: Measured and Indicated resources rose 38% to ~1.6bnt grading 0.98% rutile.
  • Rutile: The M&I resource rises 32% to 16.1mt of containing rutile grading 0.96% rutile
  • Total Graphite Content grades 0.95% for 20.0mt contained graphite (M&I)
  • Continuity: The additional infill drilling confirms the high-grade of rutile and graphite extends throughout the saprolite unit to an average 22m depth below surface.
  • The new resource will better support an optimised DFS mine schedule.
  • Geology:
  • The high-grade rutile formed through the weathering of metamorphic basement rocks into the basement environment.
  • Other chemically mobile minerals were depleted over time leaving behind concentrated rutile and kyanite.
  • The result is unusually good grades of 1.2-2.0% rutile in the top 3-5m.
  • This is easily visually seen in the presence of black rutile mineralisation in the sand at surface.
  • Moderate grade mineralisation, generally grading 0.5% to 1.2% rutile, commonly extends from 5m to 20-30m.
  • Graphite is depleted in the top 3-5m but is more prevalent from 5m to the base of the saprolite at 20-30m.
  • The graphite formed under metamorphic processes which transformed organic carbon (algae) at temperatures of >650C and high pressure causing the organic matter to transform into crystalline, flake graphite.

 

Conclusion: The updated estimate provides a larger resource on which to base the forthcoming DFS mine schedule.

77% of the total resource is now upgraded to M&I giving greater confidence in the project’s underlying mineralisation.

Measured resources now cover the first six years of the project. This is important for he BFS and project financing.

Turaco Gold* (TCG CN) A$0.65, Mkt Cap A$684m – Afema MRE increased to 4.65moz at 1.3g/t Au

  • Turaco Gold, who hold the Afema project in Cote d’Ivoire, provide a MRE update.
  • Turaco updates the Afema MRE following 120,000m of drilling to:
    • 67.1mt at 1.2g/t Au for 2,670koz Au Indicated
    • 48.2mt at 1.3g/t Au for 1,990koz Inferred
    • Total: 115.3mt at 1.3g/t Au for 4,650koz
  • Company includes a 200koz at 3g/t Au underground resource using a 1.5g/t cut-off.
  • Notable increases:
    • Woulo Woulo adds 220koz in indicated ounces
    • Asupiri adds 300koz in total ounces
    • Anuiri adds 20% indicated ounces with grade rising from 1.7g/t Au to 1.8g/t Au
    • Maiden MRE from Herman of 100koz at 1.6g/t Au, adjacent to Woulo Woulo.
  • Company expects to declare a JORC ore reserve estimate with the Afema PFS, due 2Q26.
  • Management notes that all MRE deposits are within a 6-7km radius, with all but Herman within the granted Afema mining permit.
  • Turaco also highlights that all MRE deposits remain open, with further drilling planned at each project.
  • The MRE update excludes the Niamienlessa Trend drilling, where high-grade intercepts have been reported in oxides.
  • Metallurgical results have returned 87-95% recoveries, with the Afema flowsheet set to include grinding, sulphide flotation, ultra fine grinding and oxidative and cyanide leaching.
  • Turaco is currently drilling 10,000m per month and expects to provide a further Afema MRE update in late 2026.

Conclusion: We see Turaco Gold as an obvious takeover candidate, further reinforced by the updated Afema MRE to >4.6moz. There are limited West African undeveloped projects remaining independent and producers in the region are generating strong free cash flow in this elevated gold price environment.
