STRICKLAND Metals announced that it had encountered a "thick and large" gold ore body at the Kotlovi prospect within its Rogozna project in Serbia.

Drilling encountered 277 meters of ore at a depth of 337 meters, with a gold grade of 1.3 g/t, including a 33.5-meter-thick ore body with a gold equivalent grade of 2.9 g/t.

Kotlovi is located 350 meters west of the Medenovac deposit, which has a resource of 1.28 million ounces of gold equivalent.

Gold has been consistently encountered within a 200-meter strike length at Kotlovi.

Golden Deeps encountered high-grade mineralization in rock chip samples from its Central Otavi project in Namibia, with copper at 38.3%, zinc at 35.45%, silver at 2,473 g/t, and germanium at 0.0097%.

The sampling was conducted within a soil anomaly zone measuring 1 kilometer in length and 800 meters in width, where multiple gossan outcrops were observed. Antimony anomalies were also encountered.

Its characteristics are similar to those of the Tsumeb deposit, located 20 kilometers north in Area 6, which previously produced 27 million mt of ore with a copper grade of 4.3%, lead grade of 10%, zinc grade of 3.5%, and germanium grade of 0.0095%.

Aldoro Resources encountered high-grade niobium, reaching up to 4.1%, during drilling at its Kameelburg rare earth-niobium-molybdenum deposit in Namibia.

The final hole extended 400 meters westward, achieving a strike length of 1.1 kilometers.

Drilling encountered 102.8 meters of ore in the upper formation, with a total rare earth oxide (TREO) grade of 2% and a niobium (oxide) grade of 0.18%. In the deeper section, 207 meters of ore was encountered, with a TREO grade of 0.76% and a niobium grade of 0.42%.

Among them, 15 meters of ore with a niobium grade of 0.8% was encountered at a depth of 287 meters, and 6 meters of ore with a niobium grade of 1.43% was encountered from a depth of 393 meters to the end of the hole.

RareX achieved positive results from resampling at its Cummins Range rare earth-gallium deposit in Western Australia.

Analysis revealed 115 meters of ore at a depth of 22 meters, with a TREO grade of 3.4%, a gallium grade of 0.0146%, and a scandium grade of 0.0363%. This includes a 53-meter-thick section with a TREO grade of 5.51%, a gallium grade of 0.02%, and a scandium grade of 0.0588%.
