STORY: BHP’s late multi-billion dollar attempt to buy Anglo American ended on Monday (November 24).The Australian miner said it was no longer interested in a potential link-up after early discussions with Anglo’s board.BHP said it still believes a tie-up would have offered “strong strategic merits” and created value for stakeholders.But further said it was still confident in its own organic growth strategy.Any takeover would have boosted BHP’s dominance in copper.It’s already the world’s biggest copper producer but risks losing that title in the years ahead without major new projects.UK securities rules means BHP can’t now make another bid for Anglo for six months. Anglo had already rejected three approaches from BHP last year.Investors will now look towards a key vote in two weeks.Shareholders at Anglo and Canada’s Teck Resources are due to vote on a $60 billion merger to become Anglo Teck.It would be a copper giant with big developments in Chile and Peru.

BHP's (NYSE:BHP) latest move landed like a plot twist investors didn't see coming. After holding preliminary discussions with Anglo American in recent days, the miner said it is no longer considering a combination, effectively abandoning a short-lived attempt to interrupt Anglo's planned merger with Teck Resources. People familiar with the matter said Anglo reviewed the approach and rejected it, concluding it was not superior to the Teck tie-up already headed for a December 9 shareholder vote. The timing raised eyebrows: this was BHP's second overture in two years, following a failed 2024 proposal that would have required Anglo to partially break itself up, even as the two copper-rich targets prepare to create a company worth more than $60 billion.

Investors spent Monday trying to interpret what the retreat could mean for a sector where copper scarcity and electrification-driven demand keep raising the stakes. BHP shares initially jumped as much as 1.3% in Sydney before fading to a 0.1% gain near the close, reflecting a market still digesting the pivot. Dylan Kelly at Terra Capital said some shareholders were possibly surprised because CEO Mike Henry had spent months emphasizing discipline around existing assets. Meanwhile, Anglo shares have gained 11% in London since BHP's previous bid ended, even as BHP's have drifted lower, underscoring a backdrop where copper miners with long-life assets have become both rare and expensive. Van Eck's Jamie Hannah suggested the attempt was always going to be difficult in this environment rather than a straightforward strategic miss.

Now the focus moves back to BHP's own copper portfolio and the decisive December 9 vote that will determine whether Anglo and Teck proceed with their merger. Glyn Lawcock at Barrenjoey said the miner will likely need to lean harder into its existing growth engines, including Escondida in Chile, the Vicuna venture in Argentina, and operations in South Australia. BHP said the Anglo combination could have offered strong strategic merits but reiterated confidence in the potential of its organic growth strategy. Lazard, UBS, and Barclays advised BHP on the now-abandoned approach, while the Anglo-Teck deal remains subject to regulatory approvals in China, the US, and Canadasetting up a consequential stretch for one of the copper market's most closely watched consolidation stories.

– Unique opportunity offers potential to accelerate mineralization models, drill targeting, scale & grade knowledge base

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / November 24, 2025 / Apex Critical Metals Corp. (CSE:APXC)(FSE:KL9)(OTCQX:APXCF) ("Apex" or the "Company"), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the identification and development of critical and strategic metals, is pleased to announce that it has commenced an extensive 2025 re-sampling and re-logging program of historical drill core from the Rift Rare Earth Project, located near Elk Creek, Nebraska, USA.

The historical drill programs were completed during the 1970s and 1980s by Molycorp Inc., and a substantial portion of the drill core, and sample material have been preserved and are available for modern analysis.

The Company has retained Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. to oversee the program. Dahrouge previously completed similar verification and re-sampling work for Quantum Rare Earth Developments Corp. in 2010-2011, which supported the first modern NI 43-101 Technical Reports for the Elk Creek district. Apex's 2025 work will include re-logging of drillholes and the selection of samples for multi-element analysis. All samples will be analyzed by Actlabs using modern Fusion ICP-MS, ICP-OES and XRF. Initial results are expected during the first quarter of 2026.

Apex CEO, Sean Charland, states: "We are grateful to the Conservation and Survey Division, School of Natural Resources, University of Nebraska-Lincoln for ensuring the preservation of the historical Molycorp material. Having access to this material is a tremendous resource to draw from and our 2025 re-logging and re-sampling program initiative at Rift will provide a modern analytical foundation for understanding the scale and grade potential of the system."

The results of this work will support Apex's ongoing geological interpretation and modelling of the Rift carbonatite system, which is host to significant rare earth element ("REE") and niobium mineralization. The Rift Project covers a series of carbonatite and related intrusive rocks which form part of the broader Elk Creek district, a region known to contain high-grade REE and niobium mineralization at depth.

Historical drilling by Molycorp identified multiple zones of REE- and niobium-bearing carbonatite within the boundaries of Apex's current holdings at Elk Creek though these results pre-date NI 43-101 and are therefore non-compliant with current reporting standards. Apex is not treating the historical results or estimates as current mineral resources or reserves.

Qualified Person

The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Nathan Schmidt, P. Geo., Geologist for Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 on standards of disclosure for mineral projects.

The results discussed in this document are considered historical. An Apex Critical Metals Corp. qualified person has not performed sufficient work or data verification to validate these historical results in accordance with NI 43-101, and therefore results should not be relied upon until such time that the Company has carried out its own sampling, drilling and modern analysis.

About Apex Critical Metals Corp. (CSE: APXC) (OTCQX: APXCF) (FWB: KL9)

Apex Critical Metals Corp. is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing rare earth element (REE) and niobium projects that support the growing demand for critical and strategic metals across the United States and Canada. The Company's flagship Rift Project, located within the highly prospective Elk Creek Carbonatite Complex in Nebraska, U.S.A., hosts extensive rare earth rights surrounding one of North America's most advanced niobium-REE deposits. Historical drilling across the complex has reported broad intervals of high-grade REE mineralization, including intercepts such as 155.5 m of 2.70% REO and 68.2 m of 3.32% REO.

In Canada, Apex continues to advance its 100%-owned Cap Project, located 85 kilometres northeast of Prince George, British Columbia.

Rokmaster Resources (RKR.V) on Monday provided an update on the Fox-Coconut and Mystery properties w

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 24, 2025 /CNW/ – Rokmaster Resources Corp. (TSXV: RKR) (OTCQB: RKMSF) (FSE: 1RR1) ("Rokmaster" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Fox-Coconut and Mystery properties within the Nechako Project.

The Nechako Project is located in west-central British Columbia within the prolific Stikine terrane with several past producing deposits and advanced development projects in the region (Figure 1). Rokmaster has options to acquire up to a 100% interest on three road-accessible properties (Mystery, Fox-Coconut, and Hanson) which when combined totals 27,178 hectares (271 km2). Despite significant improvements in access by logging and in outcrop exposure by fires, the region remains an underexplored portion of the productive Stikine terrane.

Field work in 2025 included trenching and channel sampling the NW structure on the Fox-Coconut Property and additional exploration on the Mystery Property. Trenching on the Coconut Property uncovered a structurally controlled zone of high-grade gold and silver mineralization known as the NW Structure. Four trenches exposed highly strained and oxidized andesite tuff hosting boxwork quartz-limonite-barite veining near a contact with quartz monzonite. Several channel samples from trenches CT2501 and CT2502, which are separated by 45 m along strike, returned high-grade silver mineralization as shown in the table below and in Figure 2.

Trench	Sample Type	Au g/t	Ag g/t	Length (m)
CT2501	Channel	0.75	614.0	1.2
CT2502	Channel	0.24	497.0	2.5

Notes to Table:

1. Widths reported are sampled widths, such that true thicknesses are unknown.

2. Samples were prepared and analyzed by MSALABS in Langley BC. After preparation, samples were analyzed for Au by 30 g Fire Assay AAS finish (method FAS-111), Ag by 4-acid digest single element (ore grade method ICF-6Ag) and ICP 34 for elements including Zn, Pb and Ag by 4-acid digestion of a 0.25 g subsample with ICP-ES finish (method ICP-230).

Work on the Mystery Property in 2025 included multiple phases of prospecting and mapping which collected rock grab and soil samples for geochemical, spectral, and geochronology analysis. The B2 Zone returned elevated Cu-Mo-Au assay results associated with pyrite-chalcopyrite D-veining in the strongly magnetite and potassic altered andesite host which has limited exposure. Further Cu-Mo-Au mineralization in similar style was discovered in the B3 Zone located approximately 800 to the southeast, with the distance between blanketed by glacial till cover (Figure 3). Further prospecting found new molybdenite mineralization hosted in monzonite north of the Ford Anomaly and expanded the footprint of argillic altered felsic volcanic rocks to the west. The high-resolution magnetic survey was subject to a 3D inversion which offers multiple targets with coincident anomalous surface geochemistry for follow-up. The Ford Anomaly occurs near the northern end of the large area of sericite- and pyrite-altered Kasalka Group rhyolite and hosts a large Cu-Au soil anomaly coincident with the margins of the magnetic feature. The area is also near the southern contact of a monzonite stock which belongs to the fertile late cretaceous Bulkley suite, which is associated with porphyry Cu-Mo-Au-Ag mineralization at the nearby Huckleberry, Ox, and Seel deposits1.

Although the company recently gained approval on a three year exploration permit on the Mystery Property that allows for 12 drill sites and 6 helipads, several conditions of the permit were unable to be completed during autumn largely due to the job action by the BC Government. Specifically, the exploration drilling permit currently has a restricted timeframe to complete drilling in the summer months and while the company attempted to extend that by completing a Wildlife Management Plan, that process was interrupted by the inability to obtain essential data from government. The job action has since been resolved and the process has resumed.

John Mirko, President and CEO, comments:

"The Nechako Project is advancing three prospective properties in a highly underexplored portion of the prolific Stikine Terrane. The fires which raged through the area in 2018-2021 gives us a huge advantage over previous operators, and we're finding encouraging alteration and mineralization in areas which were walked over before. Field work on the Nechako Project in 2025 further developed several key areas to the point of drill testing, particularly on the Mystery Property where there are multiple very enticing targets to test. While the delays to extend the drilling window have been unfortunate, the team is eager to resume exploration on the Nechako Project as early as possible in 2026."

Next month shareholders in London-based mining giant Anglo-American will gather at City lawyers Linklaters' 1980's office in the shadow of the Barbican to vote on the firms' $50 billion powerhouse copper merger with Canada's Teck Resources.

The proposed deal – the second biggest mining merger ever – would consolidate two vast copper fields in Chile, Collahuasi, operated by Anglo American, and Quebrada Blanca, operated by Teck.

Called Anglo Teck, the firm would be headquartered in Vancouver – a further blow to the UK mining sector after BHP left the City in 2022 – though it will remain primarily listed in the London.

Yet issues over the deal keep emerging, not least Chile’s environmental authorities voicing longstanding concerns over air pollution and damage to glaciers in the central Andes.

Glaciers are vital water sources for Chilean capital Santiago and have significantly retreated over 60 years. Anglo-Teck plan to mine underneath the protected Yerba Loca nature reserve and Anglo has already built an exploratory five mile tunnel underneath three glaciers. They also plan to transport 48m tonnes of toxic waste through a 25-mile pipeline which Anglo say has governmental and environmental approval in Chile.

But, as Prince William's recent intervention at the Cop 30 summit shows, environmental concerns are becoming a huge worldwide issue not localised ones. And Chilean campaigners are quick to point out that: “Moving thousands of tonnes of toxic waste through the mountains to a dam not far from the capital could lead to an environmental disaster.”

Anglo have already warned that its 2026 copper output will be lower than expected. Their plans to expand copper production in Chile have been hit by a number of setbacks at Collahuasi.

Neither are the Canadian Government falling over themselves with excitement at the deal either, despite the mooted Vancouver headquarters.

The federal government is pressuring Anglo American to become legally Canadian and is forensically examining the British miner’s $20-billion bid. Ottowa wants it listed in Canada, under Canadian regulatory authority, which is unsurprising given the industry's criticisms of the deal.

Indeed Anglo have already admitted increased Governmental scrutiny may have an adverse affect on business operations in countries they operate in.

In a published circular they concede:"“While the Directors believe that the Merger is in the best interests of Anglo American and Shareholders, it may not be viewed favourably by governments in certain jurisdictions and Anglo Teck may be subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny by Governmental Entities, which could disrupt business operations in countries in which Anglo Teck will operate or result in the imposition of increased restrictions or conditions on Anglo Teck’s business and operations, the nature and extent of which are uncertain and unpredictable.”

Critics of the deal also point out Anglo American is struggling to sell $9.3 billion of its other assets as it looks to strengthen their balance sheet to enable the merger and concentrate on copper production. A not entirely positive third quarter production report raised questions over delivery of merger synergies.

These include its current failure to sell off its 85% stake in diamond company De Beers, a guilty plea to environmental breaches in their Northern Ontario operations, failure to sell its steelmaking coal business, a regulatory impasse in the sale of its Brazilian nickel assets and a $1.6 billion write down at Anglo’s flagship Woodsmith fertiliser mine in North Yorkshire following a $1.7 billion write down in 2024. Around 1,000 workers at the mine have been laid off.

The UK Government is unlikely to be impressed by the merger either, with job reductions likely in Britain rather than Canada as a result of $60 million synergy cost reductions proposed by Anglo and the subsequent loss of tax contributions to HMRC.

Now despite caution over Canada's desire to retain control over Teck and fears that Chile's environmental backlash may hinder expansion plans, rival bidders in this most macho of resource sectors are licking their lips at the thought of dramatic last minute interventions that could see off Anglo's chances.

Rio Tinto is being urged by investors to make a bid for Teck; and Glencore continue to hold a keen interest in the merger with the Collahuasi site – a joint venture with Glencore and Anglo each owning 44% of the mine.

In contrast to Anglo, Glencore recently published its own Q3 production report which showed its copper production is up 36% quarter-on-quarter – giving Glencore the potential to pull the rug from under Anglo’s feet, especially considering the firm's past attempts to acquire Teck.

Rio shareholder Palliser Capital has called on Rio Tinto to make a “now or never” bid to acquire Teck, stating it would unlock $800 million in cost synergies.

By adding Teck’s copper to its own portfolio and the result is beyond iron ore and into major league copper production. By unifying the two companies, it could ultimately see Rio divide into two parts, one concentrating on copper, aluminium and zinc based in Canada, and one in Australia focused on iron ore.

Already Rio Tinto's stock increased by 0.3% on the Australian stock market earlier this month, aligning stronger underlying prices and a recent uptick in copper prices with speculation of intervention in the Teck merger.

So with a perfect storm of Canada's regulatory demands, UK Government disapproval, howling environmental protests, Anglo's asset sale woes and pressure on Rio Tinto and possibly Glencore to counter bid, its shareholders might now be questioning whether Anglo can make good on the promised synergies and improved financial performance that form the rationale for the merger.

Lupaka Gold Corp. (LPK.V) on Thursday said although the company fully expects the Republic of Peru to honour their obligations under the ICSID Convention and pay an recently issued award, it is taking immediate steps to collect the award proceeds.

In this regard, Lupaka in a statement said it has engaged an investigative agency to "identify worldwide assets of the Republic of Peru as potential targets for seizure".

Lupaka added: "Once the identification process is complete, and if the award payment has not yet been received, the company will pursue seizure of said assets through proceedings in the most appropriate jurisdictions utilizing the ICSID Award until such time as the full amount of the award and attendant costs are realized."

CEO Gordon Ellis said the company is hopeful that Peru will pay the amounts it owes shortly, adding it has the full support of Benchwalk, its funding partner.

In a background summary, the company noted it initiated an arbitration claim against the Republic of Peru in late 2019. The arbitration process was conducted through the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and continued until the ICSID Tribunal issued an Award in favour of the company on June 30, 2025.

Subsequent to the award date, Lupaka noted Peru had 120 days in which to challenge the award via a request for an annulment. The 120-day period passed on October 28, 2025, with no annulment being requested. Having no further recourse, the Republic of Peru must pay the award amounts, Thursday's statement said.

As of October 31, 2025, the amount payable was approximately US$67 million, which will continue to grow at an ICSID designated, compounded interest rate of UST plus 5% (which presently equates to near 9%), Lupaka added.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lupaka Gold Corp.

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. LYB and Nippon Paint China recently announced the launch of their partnership to close the loop for recycling coating packaging barrels. The initiative was announced at the China International Import Expo (CIIE). It promotes circularity in China’s coatings industry.

The system establishes a process for mechanically recycling used paint barrels. Under Nippon Paint’s Refresh Service, post-consumer barrels are collected from retail outlets and undergo processing by waste management providers. The plastic components are then sent for further processing to GXLYB to be converted into recycled pellets under LYB’s CirculenRecover brand. These recycled materials, when blended with virgin resins, are used by packaging manufacturers to produce new barrels through injection molding.

This step emphasizes the importance of cross-value-chain collaboration in advancing sustainable solutions. It helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels by increasing the circulation of valuable plastics.

The initiative is an expansion of the ongoing collaborations since 2022. LYB and Nippon Paint have previously collaborated on packaging made with CirculenRecover polymers, and in 2023, they signed an MoU to further this cause.

LYB’s shares have lost 43.9% over the past year compared with the industry’s 25.8% decline.

In the fourth quarter, LyondellBasell anticipates reduced operating rates and year-end seasonality to impact results across most of its businesses. Increased natural gas and feedstock costs are expected to put pressure on integrated polyolefins margins in North America. LYB also sees soft industrial and consumer demand to persist in Europe.

While Industry downtime aided oxyfuels margins during October, seasonally higher costs for feedstocks and reduced octane values are expected to pressure margins for the balance of the fourth quarter. Cost reduction initiatives are also forecast to offset some of the pricing pressures in Advanced Polymer Solutions.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – November 19, 2025) – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (OTCQB: HBEIF) ("Honey Badger" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has identified two new silver-gold-lead-zinc zones from the recent soil sampling and prospecting program at its 100% owned Plata Project in the Yukon: the newly named "Pimento" located northwest of the high-grade silver- gold Ajo zone, and the "Inferno" zone located near the newly-staked claims.

The Company's Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented: "Plata has exceptional potential. I have never seen a property in my career with this many different types of mineral occurrences in such varied geologic settings in so many areas. We've identified a large geochemical anomaly over the Inferno Zone in conjunction with important field observations like the presence of copper sulfide-bearing sheeted quartz veins, altered felsic intrusions, and hornfels altered host rock, all of which suggest the potential for a large silver-gold system. Inferno is another high-priority follow-up area for the 2026 field season. Pimento is yet another new area of silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization located ~2.3 km northwest of the high-grade silver and gold-bearing Ajo zone. Plata is a truly exceptional property with tremendous mineral endowment that we are excited to get back to for additional fieldwork and expected drilling in 2026."

Summary of 2025 Fieldwork

This past summer, Honey Badger completed a large fieldwork program focused on soil sampling and prospecting at Plata. The goal of the fieldwork program was to collect soil and supplementary grab samples over several target areas across the large property to identify new silver and gold zones. The program was successfully completed in late September and included a total of 1,027 soil samples and 115 rock samples. The program culminated in the discovery of several new silver-gold-lead-zinc zones including Canela (see press release dated Nov 13, 2025) and Pimento as well as the identification of significant geochemical anomalies over the Inferno zone area coinciding with sheeted quartz veining and hornfels alteration. Visual observations from the fieldwork combined with the identification of historic gold-in-soil anomalies also led to staking additional prospective ground in the Inferno zone area.

Background on Inferno

The Company is pleased to share that soil sampling over the Inferno zone has returned a broad 2.3 km x 1 km antimony anomaly that includes local elevated silver and gold anomalies, hornfels alteration in host rock, and sheeted veining with copper sulfides (Fig. 2). Antimony is an important pathfinder element that is often associated with silver and gold deposits. The strongest part of the antimony anomaly coincides with a broad 1100 m x 400 m gold-in-soil anomaly that includes a ~450 x 200m core of elevated gold values, which range up to 74 ppb Au in the Inferno zone area (Fig. 2). The broad gold anomaly also coincides with elevated silver, tellurium, and bismuth values, which are also important pathfinder elements commonly associated with silver and gold deposits. There are also several soil samples with anomalous gold values that form a trend along or proximal to the Plata Thrust Fault. The Plata Thrust Fault is an important structure elsewhere at Plata and is host to the high-grade silver-gold-antimony Ajo zone (Fig. 3). The Inferno zone area will be a priority follow-up target for prospecting work in 2026. Honey Badger also completed additional staking to the south of the Inferno zone area this past summer (see press release dated October 16, 2025), securing highly prospective ground that borders on a significant 2 km long gold-in-soil anomaly (Fig. 3).

Results from the 2025 fieldwork have delineated a ~2.3 km x 1 km zone of moderate to strongly anomalous antimony values within soil and rock samples. During the field program, additional ground was staked to the south of the Inferno zone, which will be critical in for follow-up work to find the source of the broad geochemical anomaly, sheeted quartz veining, and host rock alteration.

Results from the 2025 fieldwork has delineated a ~450m x 200m zone of moderate gold-in-soil values within a broader 1200 x 400m gold anomaly. During the field program, additional ground was staked to the south of the Inferno zone, which will be critical in identifying the source of high gold-in-soil values of up to 0.12 g/t from 2023 soil sampling.

Background on Pimento

In addition to the newly discovered Canela Zone, the Company has also discovered another zone of silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization, newly named the Pimento zone. Pimento is located ~2.3 km to the northwest of the high-grade silver-gold-antimony Ajo zone and comprises newly collected rock samples spaced ~500 m apart that returned grades of up to 0.15 g/t gold, 44.3 g/t silver, 0.14% lead, and 0.39% zinc (Fig. 4). The rock samples include both subcrop and float which are interpreted to be locally sourced. This area has never had any documented work completed on it and represents a brand-new zone of mineralization on the property, with the closest historic sample being ~600m away. Follow-up prospecting work will be completed at Pimento in 2026, which will aim to uncover additional Ajo-style mineralization (Fig. 4).

The new mineralized rock samples are approximately 500m apart along a ridge top approximately 2.3km northwest of the high-grade silver and gold Ajo Zone. Tarea has been explored (closest historic sample is ~600m away).

Next Steps

The Company will continue to review the new assay data in conjunction with historical drilling, soil and grab samples as well as leverage geophysical and structural data over the winter to prepare for follow-up fieldwork and expected drilling in 2026.

About Plata

Plata is located in east-central Yukon within the Tombstone Gold Belt and is a past producing high-grade silver property that produced about 290,000 ounces of silver from small-scale mining of high-grade veins that are exposed at surface (Carlson, G.G., 2010, "Technical Report Describing Exploration and Development at the Plata Project, located in the Mayo Mining District, East-Central Yukon", report prepared for Platoro West Holdings Inc.). Ore was mined and flown by fixed wing aircraft to Idaho for processing. Historical exploration at Plata has primarily focused on the outcropping high-grade silver veins. These are analogous to the rich Keno Hill Silver Mine in the Yukon, one of the highest-grade silver deposits in the world, now operated by Hecla Mining. While the analogy to Keno Hill remains valid, the Company has continued to develop its understanding of Plata as part of a larger "Snowline-style" mineralized system. Understanding how Plata might fit into a Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) like Snowline Gold's Rogue and Valley deposits adds the potential for a large gold deposit in addition to the high-grade silver vein potential.

QAQC

Soil samples were collected using soil augers and placed into labeled kraft paper bags that were tied shut. Soil pits were dug as deep as possible to achieve collecting material from the lower B and early C soil horizons. Sample locations were collected using field tablets with built-in GPS.

Rock samples were collected using geotools and rock hammers to break up rock material, which was then placed by hand into labeled plastic poly bags that were tied shut. Samples were labeled as either outcrop, subcrop, or float. All sample locations were marked with flagging tape containing the sample ID, and sampled locations were collected using field tablets with built-in GPS.

Sample preparation and multi-element analyses for rock and soil samples were carried out at ALS Minerals' laboratories in Whitehorse, Yukon and North Vancouver, BC, respectively. Each rock sample was dried and fine crushed to better than 70% passing 2 mm, and then a 250 g split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Soil samples were dried to 60C and sieved to <180 um. The fine fraction was analyzed for 35 elements using aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP41). For all samples, an additional 30 g charge was further analyzed for gold by fire assay with inductively coupled plasma and atomic emission spectroscopy finish (Au-ICP21).

Freeport-McMoRan shares jumped early Tuesday as the company detailed a multiyear plan to ramp up copper and gold output following a deadly mud rush at its Grasberg mine in Indonesia. The move lifted the S&P 500 stock near a key support level. Seven Freeport-McMoRan employees died in the Sept. 8 incident, which the company said was unprecedented in the mine’s 40-plus years of operations and for which its says there were no warning indications.

Teck Resources (TECK) and Anglo American must offer more to secure Ottawa's approval for their planned merger, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing Canada's Industry Minister Melanie Joly.

In September, the companies agreed to combine in a merger of equals to form Anglo Teck.

While a decision on the takeover is expected next month, Anglo Teck's commitments to date are insufficient under Canada's foreign-investment laws, Joly was quoted as saying by the Journal.

A Teck spokesman said the companies continue to engage with the government, while a spokesman for Anglo declined to comment, according to the Journal.

Teck Resources, Anglo American, and representatives for Joly did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment on the matter.

Shares of Teck Resources were down 2.5% in recent Tuesday trading.

MILAN, September 09, 2025–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group (Nikkiso CE&IG) has announced at the Gastech Conference today that it has launched a next-generation submerged ammonia pump designed to be the safest and most reliable in the industry.

Ammonia is already a key component in fertilizers and increasingly being used as a clean hydrogen carrier. As demand for handling ammonia has also grown in sectors like power generation, chemical plants, shipping fleets and export terminals, Nikkiso CE&IG has responded with a first-of-its-kind solution designed to eliminate common maintenance burdens for operators thanks to its seal-less, maintenance-friendly, copper-free construction and integrated motor-pump system.

The pump is capable of delivering more than 2,500m3 per hour and has an industry-leading maintenance record – specifically-designed parts mean the pump lasts significantly longer before any maintenance requirements, with a mean time between outages topping 16,000 hours.

Emile Bado, President of Nikkiso CE&IG’s Pumps division, said: "Demand for ammonia across a range of applications is growing thanks to its importance as an alternative clean fuel, its role in agriculture and as a carrier for hydrogen. In response to customer demand, we are delighted to launch a pump which addresses the most common issues operators face.

"We have a proud record of innovation at Nikkiso CE&IG, and the work that has gone into producing this pump is no different – as a result, it leads the industry in safety, reliability, maintenance and performance."

The launch of the pump builds on a track record of expertise and innovation both at Nikkiso CE&IG and its parent company, Nikkiso Co, in serving the ammonia market across a range of applications. Nikkiso CE&IG has four decades of experience in building submersible motor pumps for ammonia service and recently secured approval in principle for a new ammonia fuel supply system, alongside its existing and proven range of purpose-built ambient and electric heat exchangers for ammonia. Nikkiso Co’s Industrial division has also built more than 7,000 canned motor pumps for use in ammonia handling, and plans to launch a liquid ammonia pump for thermal power generation next year.

Notes to Editors

Eric Sensat, Product Manager – Submerged Motor Pumps at Nikkiso CE&IG, will be presenting the new submerged ammonia pump at Nikkiso CE&IG’s booth (J14) at 10.30am and 1.30pm on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

BHP Group Limited

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BHP Xplor, the nine-month accelerator program aimed at transforming the discovery of critical minerals, has officially opened applications for the 2026 cohort.

Following the success of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 cohorts, BHP Xplor invites early-stage explorers to apply for its next intake. The program is looking for ambitious teams and individuals dedicated to uncovering new sources of critical minerals essential for a sustainable future.

The BHP Xplor program is designed to accelerate participants' exploration opportunities while fostering long-term connections with BHP. Participants benefit from up to USD $500,000 in equity-free funding, expert mentorship, and access to BHP’s global network of suppliers and service providers.

Tim O’Connor, BHP’s Group Exploration Officer, said: “Xplor has quickly become a recognised pathway for early-stage explorers who want to scale faster and think more boldly. The program provides not only capital, but access to the knowledge, networks, and technical depth that can fundamentally change the trajectory of a company. As the world’s demand for critical minerals intensifies, building strong partnerships between majors and juniors will be essential. Xplor is about more than accelerating exploration projects, it’s about shaping a new way of working together to unlock the resources needed for the future.”

Additionally, the 2026 cohort will join BHP Xplor’s growing alumni network, now spanning 21 companies, to continue sharing insights and learnings as they progress on their journey.

Elena Clarici, CEO of Electrum Discovery and current BHP Xplor participant, said: “Being part of BHP Xplor has been invaluable. The program has given us access to expertise and resources that have helped sharpen our strategy and move our projects forward more quickly. It has also opened doors to networks and opportunities that would have been much harder to access on our own. Xplor is already making a real difference in how we grow as a company.”

For BHP, Xplor provides an opportunity to engage with a diverse pipeline of exploration projects across new geographies and geological concepts, supporting the company’s long-term growth ambitions.

Applications for the BHP Xplor 2026 cohort are open from 8 September to 15 October 2025.

3,034 g/t AgEq over 21.3m including 1.4m of 41,110 g/t AgEq from the Eagle Zone

Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2025) – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the Company") is pleased to announce first assay results have been received from its near-mine 2025 exploration program conducted on the Eagle and Abra (Main) Zones of the Silver-gold Los Ricos South Project located in Jalisco, Mexico. Drill targeting was based on reconstruction of the historical Cinco Minas Mine and a new IP geophysics survey conducted this year. Assay results from geotechnical holes in the Eagle Zone are also discussed.

"We're pleased with these initial results of our near-mine exploration program. The objective was to drill some scouting exploration holes deeper than our current Resource and south of the current Resource in a faulted off section of the vein. We were successful in hole 318 as it demonstrated strong mineralization continues deeper below our current Resources. Also, a highlight of the drilling was hole 324 which not only located the faulted off section of the vein outside of the Resource but yielded strong gold and silver grades and widths. Another significant hole is hole 337, located in Cerro Colorado which is south of known mineralization and could represent a new ore shoot which we will target with further drilling," said Brad Langille, President and CEO. "Hole LRSGT-23-001 was drilled for geotechnical purposes within the current Resource area, but after publication. This is confirmatory of the high grade and large widths of the Eagle Zone."

Highlights from the drilling program include the following:

• Hole LRSGT-23-001: 41,110 g/t total silver equivalent over 1.42 m from 131.20 to 132.62 m, consisting of 28,094 g/t silver and 173.6 g/t gold within a longer interval of 21.25 m grading 3,034 g/t total silver equivalent from 129.15 to 150.40 m consisting of 2,077 g/t silver and 12.76 g/t gold drilled in the Eagle Zone for geotechnical purposes after the Resource was published and is within the current Resource area (see Figures 1 and 4).

• Hole LRGG-24-318: 904 g/t total silver equivalent over 0.75 m from 698.10 to 698.85 m, consisting of 401 g/t silver and 6.7 g/t gold within a longer interval of 10.72 m grading 215 g/t total silver equivalent from 691.18 to 701.90 m consisting of 123 g/t silver and 1.2 g/t gold in the Abra Zone for exploration purposes outside of the current Resource area (see Figures 1 and 3).

• Hole LRGG-24-324: 1,034 g/t total silver equivalent over 1.39 m from 231.50 to 232.89 m, consisting of 477 g/t silver and 7.4 g/t gold within a longer interval of 23.05 m grading 234 g/t total silver equivalent from 227.10 to 250.15 m consisting of 123 g/t silver and 1.49 g/t gold in the South Abra Zone for exploration purposes outside of the current Resource area (see Figures 1 and 3).

• Hole LRGG-24-337: 849 g/t total silver equivalent over 1.50 m from 33.50 to 35.00 m, consisting of 43.8 g/t silver and 10.7 g/t gold within a longer interval of 9.45 m grading 303 g/t total silver equivalent from 27.55 to 37.00 m consisting of 21.7 g/t silver and 3.75 g/t gold in the Cerro Colorado Zone for exploration purposes outside of the current Resource area (see Figures 1 and 3).

Summary

In early 2025, the exploration team began a new IP survey to extend the coverage south of the El Abra deposit to the Cerro Colorado deposit (see Figure 2). The new data, combined with the 2022 IP survey, provides continuous detailed information along the El Abra structure over a strike length of 7km. Based on a re-evaluation of historical data and the new IP geophysics, a systematic step-out drilling program to test the down dip, the southern strike extension of the Abra Zone towards Los Lamas, and the Cerro Colorado deposit was started in January 2025.

The goal of this drilling is to extend the known mineral occurrence at the south end of the historically mined Cinco Minas one kilometer to the Los Llamas Zone all the way to the south at Cerro Colorado, a total strike length of 3.5km. The drill holes in this release were not included in the initial Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for Los Ricos South released on January 6, 2025.

Figure 2: 2025 IP Survey – Plan View

Induced polarization is industry standard in exploring for low sulfidation epithermal deposits, and particularly resistivity shows a pronounced break between the El Pochete and Eje Volcanics, the known host of the Los Ricos Vein System. This break can be traced for a total of 7km from the north of Eagle to the far south of Cerro Colorado.

Assay results from drill hole LRGG-24-318 show the high grade Abra Zone extends 250m down dip of the deepest Feasibility Study designed stopes, offering excellent expansion potential. Whereas, assay results from LRGG-25-324 show an extension of the Abra Zone 150m south of the last historical mining activity. There remains over 500m of prospective ground untested between DDH 324 and the Los Llamas Zone, believed to be a continuation of the Abra Zone.

Geotechnical Drilling

Based on the recommendations from WSP (retained for the 2024 Feasibility Study) the Company completed additional geotechnical drill holes for the proposed Open Pit and Underground Mine Plans. Holes were completed either, 1) crossing the zone, 2) entirely in FW, 3) entirely in HW or 4) drilled down the vein/HW (e.g., GT_PFS_23_002). Only holes that crossed the Zone were sampled. Geotechnical holes were used for both Resource Definition and geotechnical purposes and confirm the presence of the high-grade Abra and Eagle Zones. These drill holes were not utilized in the updated MRE dated January 16, 2025.

Procedure, Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Data Verification

The diamond drill core (HQ size) is geologically logged, photographed and marked for sampling. When the sample lengths are determined, the full core is sawn with a diamond blade core saw with one half of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The remaining half portion is returned to the core trays for storage and/or for metallurgical test work.

The sealed and tagged sample bags are transported to the ALS Chemex facility in Zacatecas, Mexico. ALS Chemex crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples with ninety percent passing Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps are assayed for gold using a 30-gram charge by fire assay (Code AA23) and over limits greater than 10 grams per tonne are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code ME-GRAV21). Silver and multi-element analysis is completed using total digestion (Code ME-ICP61 Total Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 100 grams per tonne silver are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (ME-GRA21).

Quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures monitor the chain-of-custody of the samples and includes the systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials (certified standards, blanks and duplicates) into the sample strings. The results of the assaying of the QA/QC material included in each batch are tracked to ensure the integrity of the assay data. All results stated in this announcement have passed GoGold's QA/QC protocols.

Under the terms of the agreement, Critical Metals is to supply up to 10,000 metric tons of rare earth concentrate from its Tanbreez Project. The concentrate is to be used as feedstock for Ucore’s rare earth element processing facility. While Ucore and Critical Metals are focused on lessening China’s grip on the rare earth ecosystem, they also remain focused on meeting the growing demand for rare earths and addressing national security challenges.

“Critical Metals Corp’s Tanbreez offers tremendous opportunities for Ucore given the significant concentration of heavy rare earths it contains, which are essential for our processing facility in Louisiana, and our downstream partners,” said Pat Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ucore.

Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ:CRML) is a mining exploration and development firm focused on identifying and advancing deposits of lithium and rare earth elements. It is developing the Wolfsberg Lithium Project in Austria, which is Europe’s first fully permitted lithium mine, to become a significant supplier of lithium products for the European market. The company focuses on mining critical minerals essential for electrification, such as lithium for batteries, as well as other strategic metals, including rare earth elements.

(Reuters) -Global miner Anglo American on Thursday said it has raised about $2.5 billion from the sale of its remaining 19.9% stake in Valterra Platinum, its former subsidiary.

Anglo has been selling or spinning off non-core assets to focus on copper and iron ore, since BHP's failed takeover attempt last year.

(Reporting by Raechel Thankam Job in Bengaluru; Editing by Mrigank Dhaniwala)

BHP Group has successfully priced a US$1.5 billion bond offer in the U.S. market, with proceeds designated for general corporate purposes. Over the last quarter, BHP’s stock price increased by nearly 10%, a move consistent with broader market trends where indices like the Dow Jones and S&P 500 also saw gains. BHP’s announcements of higher net income and earnings per share, alongside its bond offering, likely contributed to sustaining investor confidence during the quarter. Meanwhile, broader market trends, which have shown optimism due to expectations of potential interest rate cuts, provided additional support for overall stock performance.

We’ve discovered 2 possible red flags for BHP Group that you should be aware of before investing here.

ASX:BHP Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Sep 2025

We’ve found 18 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

The recent successful issuance of BHP Group’s US$1.5 billion bond is set to enhance the company’s liquidity and financial flexibility, potentially supporting further expansion plans, notably in copper and potash. Analysts remain vigilant about the company’s earnings outlook, especially given the significant financial obligations stemming from the Samarco dam failure. However, with operational excellence and cost discipline, BHP continues to maintain robust margins, providing a buffer against these pressures.

Over a five-year period, BHP’s total shareholder return, including dividends, reached 80.90%, indicating strong long-term performance. However, over the past year, BHP’s stock underperformed the broader Australian market, which returned 10%. Similarly, against the Australian Metals and Mining industry, which returned 22.4%, BHP’s performance fell short. This discrepancy highlights potential challenges in the company’s near-term growth trajectory.

The recent announcements, including the bond offer, could indirectly influence revenue and earnings forecasts by providing the capital required for new ventures. This capital injection could support potential growth in BHP’s diversified portfolio, particularly as it expands into potash production. Given a current share price of A$41.98, close to the analyst consensus price target of A$42.94, BHP’s stock appears fairly priced, reflecting a balance of opportunities and challenges. Investors may want to monitor how these initiatives develop and their influences on financial outcomes and market valuation.

ASX:AEF Debt to Equity as at Sep 2025Helia Group

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Helia Group Limited operates in the loan mortgage insurance industry primarily in Australia and has a market cap of A$1.56 billion.

Operations: Helia Group Limited generates revenue of A$559.63 million from its loan mortgage insurance business in Australia.

Helia Group, a notable player in the Australian financial landscape, faces headwinds with significant client losses and policy shifts. The exit of major clients like Commonwealth Bank signals potential revenue volatility, while the government’s Home Guarantee Scheme could limit premium growth. Despite these challenges, Helia’s earnings grew 19% last year, outpacing the industry’s -3%. However, its debt to equity ratio rose from 14% to 19% over five years. Recent executive changes include CFO Michael Cant stepping in as interim CEO. With a share price at A$5.93 against a target of A$3.87, market sentiment remains cautious amid forecasted revenue declines.

With earnings growing at 23% annually over five years and trading 47% below estimated fair value, the company seems undervalued. Its net debt to equity ratio of 31% is satisfactory, ensuring financial stability while covering interest payments effectively with a 6.8x EBIT coverage. Despite facing competition and operational hurdles like yield fluctuations and cost inflation, Ricegrowers’ focus on agritech investments aims to boost efficiency and quality.

Following the solid earnings report from Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (JSE:IMP), the market responded by bidding up the stock price. While the profit numbers were good, our analysis has found some concerning factors that shareholders should be aware of.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

JSE:IMP Earnings and Revenue History September 4th 2025The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

To properly understand Impala Platinum Holdings' profit results, we need to consider the R219m gain attributed to unusual items. While we like to see profit increases, we tend to be a little more cautious when unusual items have made a big contribution. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Assuming those unusual items don't show up again in the current year, we'd thus expect profit to be weaker next year (in the absence of business growth, that is).

That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates.

Our Take On Impala Platinum Holdings' Profit Performance

We'd posit that Impala Platinum Holdings' statutory earnings aren't a clean read on ongoing productivity, due to the large unusual item. Therefore, it seems possible to us that Impala Platinum Holdings' true underlying earnings power is actually less than its statutory profit. The good news is that it earned a profit in the last twelve months, despite its previous loss. Of course, we've only just scratched the surface when it comes to analysing its earnings; one could also consider margins, forecast growth, and return on investment, among other factors. So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Impala Platinum Holdings at this point in time. For example – Impala Platinum Holdings has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of.

Today we've zoomed in on a single data point to better understand the nature of Impala Platinum Holdings' profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company. For example, many people consider a high return on equity as an indication of favorable business economics, while others like to 'follow the money' and search out stocks that insiders are buying. So you may wish to see this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with high insider ownership.
