Winshear Metals has reported the latest drill results from the Rodburn target at its Portsoy project in northeast Scotland, further expanding the footprint of high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization. In the South Zone, drilling extended high-grade mineralization approximately 100 metres down dip. Drill hole RBD029 intersected 8.15 metres grading 0.77% nickel, 1.14% copper and 0.05% cobalt, including a higher-grade interval of 6.0 metres grading 0.98% nickel, 1.51% copper and 0.06% cobalt. A second hole, RBD030, intersected 4 metres grading 0.29% nickel and 0.18% copper further down dip. Downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying also identified a strong conductive anomaly approximately 100 metres east of RBD030, which is interpreted to potentially represent a massive sulphide body and remains untested. In the North Zone, drilling extended mineralization approximately 100 metres to the west. Drill hole RBD028 intersected two mineralized intervals, grading 0.98% nickel, 0.14% copper and 0.045% cobalt over 3 metres, and 0.76% nickel, 0.32% copper and 0.034% cobalt over 4 metres, within a broader 16-metre mineralized zone averaging 0.39% nickel, 0.14% copper and 0.018% cobalt. The company said the latest drilling results have further expanded the extent of high-grade mineralization at the Rodburn target and confirmed the project's potential for further resource growth.

[SMM Cobalt-Lithium Morning Briefing] Lithium and Cobalt Prices Under Pressure and Diverging, Tug-of-War Between Sellers and Buyers Intensifies Material Market Consolidation

This week, industry chain prices diverged. Lithium ore edged down alongside lithium carbonate, but mines continued to hold prices firm, making profit distribution across the industry chain a market focus. Supported by maintenance and tight spot order supply, lithium carbonate prices consolidated on a subdued note, while lithium hydroxide prices initially fell before rebounding. The cobalt industry chain remained generally under pressure—with weakening overseas quotations and sluggish off-season demand, refined cobalt, intermediate products, and cobalt salt prices continued to weaken, and the price spread between buyers and sellers widened. Nickel sulphate edged down, with the market still primarily focused on destocking; ternary cathode precursor prices declined due to weaker nickel and cobalt salt prices, while ternary cathode material prices remained basically stable. LFP prices proved resilient, supported by rising processing fees, with August production schedules continuing to grow and high-quality capacity remaining tight. Artificial graphite prices rose, the supply-demand balance for separators stayed in tight balance, and electrolyte prices were pushed up by raw material cost transmission. Supply of key materials for sodium-ion batteries remained tight, while recycling-side transactions were subdued. On the terminal side, EV and ESS demand maintained resilience, though the consumer market recovery remained limited. Looking ahead, the focus will be on peak season stockpiling and demand realization.
