This was according to the release of Hainan Clean Energy Vehicle Development Plan on Mar 5

SHANGHAI, Mar 5 (SMM) – Hainan will phase out fossil fuel vehicles by 2030 to combat air pollution, according to the release of the Hainan Clean Energy Vehicle Development Plan at a press conference in Haikou on Tuesday March 5.

Hainan will be the first province to implement such a ban.

The province decided to ban sales of diesel or petrol cars from March 1 when new air pollution measures and laws take effect, SMM reported in January.

Detailed targets in the latest release included achieving clean energy in the public service sector by 2020, and 100% clean energy in social operational fields by 2025. It aimed to ban sales of fossil fuel vehicles by 2030.

Amigo Resources Reports PGM Values of Up to 7.07 ppm in Tanzania Processing Testwork

[SMM Flash] Amigo Resources reported independent laboratory results from selected Tanzanian material showing combined PGM values of 6.94–7.07 ppm, alongside residual gold values of 3.27–3.47 ppm. The company said it is assessing the integration of proprietary PGM concentration technology into its processing flowsheets to target recovery from gravity tailings and other residual material. Amigo is also evaluating a pyrometallurgical copper-matte treatment route and has mobilised a small-scale furnace for further testwork. The programme could potentially establish PGMs as a recoverable by-product from Amigo's Tanzanian polymetallic material if subsequent metallurgical work demonstrates viable recoveries. However, the reported grades relate to selected test material and processing studies and do not constitute a compliant Mineral Resource, reserve or evidence of commercial-scale PGM production. Further metallurgical testing will therefore be important in determining whether the reported PGM content can translate into an economically recoverable product stream.

Pan Global Reports Platinum-Palladium Mineralisation at Spain's Cármenes Project

[SMM Flash] Pan Global Resources has reported additional drilling results from its 100%-owned Cármenes Project in northern Spain, identifying platinum and palladium within a broader gold-copper-nickel-cobalt mineralised system. Hole PVD15 intersected 15 m grading 3.90 g/t gold, 0.04% copper, 0.11% nickel and 0.12% cobalt from surface, including an 8 m interval grading 0.50 g/t platinum and 0.28 g/t palladium. Within this interval, one metre returned 1.39 g/t platinum and 0.74 g/t palladium, equivalent to 2.13 g/t Pt+Pd. The mineralisation extends beyond the historical Providencia mine workings and remains open along strike and at depth, according to the company. The results provide further evidence of PGM mineralisation within the Cármenes polymetallic system and could potentially add platinum and palladium credits to the project's mineral inventory. However, the reported intersections are exploration results and do not represent a Mineral Resource, reserve or future production estimate.
