Osmond Expands High Grade Corridor—Zone 2 Completes Orion Project Trifecta


 Osmond Resources Limited (ASX: OSM) has achieved a pivotal milestone in its Orion EU Critical Minerals Project in southern Spain by confirming high‑grade rutile and zircon in Zone 2, linking previously verified Zones 1 and 3. Released on 20 June 2025, recent assay results revealed impressive grades: Sample Z2_03 returned 8.2% rutile and 4.0% zircon, while Z2_04 reached 7.1% rutile and 3.2% zircon. These outcomes solidify the continuity of heavy mineral-rich layers across a defined 12-km strike within an 86.4 km² permit area.

Field mapping identifies the mineralisation within flat-lying sedimentary layers, contributing to the predictable nature of the system. This newfound lateral continuity increases confidence in geological models and supports plans for the upcoming maiden 15-hole drilling campaign. Permits are being finalised ahead of drilling, which aims to confirm vertical continuity and support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate and Scoping Study due later in 2025.

The Orion project’s focus on rutile and zircon is strategically important. Both minerals are classified as critical by the EU, driving renewed interest in secure, local supply chains—especially for titanium and zirconium-dependent sectors such as aerospace, defence, and high-tech manufacturing. By confirming mineralisation across all three zones, Osmond demonstrates continuity, scale, and quality in its resource outlook.

CEO Anthony Hall highlighted the significance: “Confirming Zone 2 is critical—not just for continuity, but as the gateway to scale.” With defined mineral horizons and strong sample grades, Osmond is now entering an exciting phase—evaluating subsurface continuity and progressing toward resource declaration. The Orion project stands as a compelling opportunity to deliver critical minerals from Europe’s under-explored groundwork.

Carbonxt Restructures Black Birch Lease, Secures Premium Placement to Drive Growth

Image
Carbonxt Group Ltd (ASX: CG1) has successfully restructured its lease agreement for the Black Birch Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) facility in Georgia, USA. The revised lease significantly reduces fixed costs while allowing Carbonxt to maintain full operational control. In a strategic move, the lessor has agreed to accept shares as lease payments through September 2025, demonstrating confidence in the Company’s growth trajectory. Carbonxt will issue 7.86 million shares at $0.08 each, representing a 37% premium to the 15-day VWAP. Major Lease Restructuring to Reduce Costs The Black Birch PAC facility, operating under a 50-year lease since 2017, had previously required minimum fixed rent payments. Under the renegotiated agreement: The lease is secured through September 2025. Monthly lease payments are reduced by over 50%, easing financial pressure. Carbonxt will issue shares instead of making cash payments. This restructuring provides Carbonxt with greater fi...

Resolution Minerals Strikes Significant Gold at Horse Heaven, Idaho

Image
  Australian-listed miner Resolution Minerals (ASX: RML) has announced a breakthrough discovery at its Horse Heaven Project in Idaho, USA. The first diamond-core drill hole at the Golden Gate prospect (HH-GG25-001C) intersected a broad near-surface gold zone — 189.2 metres @ 1.30 g/t Au from a depth of just 34.1 metres. Impressively, mineralisation bottoms  out and remains open at depth. Notably, the intercept includes severa l higher-grade zones: 12.9 m @ 2.32 g/t Au from 94.4 m and 70.8 m @ 2.24 g/t Au from 128.8 m. These results suggest the presence of an intrusion-hosted gold system — a deposit style known for large tonnage potential — similar to that found at the nearby Stibnite Gold Project located only ~6 km away. The initial “Phase 1” drilling campaign comprised  10 holes totalling 2,770.6 metres, though only the first hole’s assay results have been released so far. Resolution plans to submit permits for a follow-up program of up to 50 holes to systematically test...

Platina Resources Doubles Its Laverton Footprint with Strategic Acquisition

Image
  Platina Resources (ASX: PGM)  has significantly expanded its presence in Western Australia’s Laverton Gold District by acquiring the Mt Morgans South Gold Project. The new tenement package boosts the company’s landholding to more than 312 km² , nearly doubling its exploration footprint in one of Australia’s most productive  gold belts. The Mt Morgans South  project sits close to major gold operations, including the Jupiter  and Westralia  mines, and lies within proven Archean greenstone geology known for hosting multi- million-ounce deposits . This strategic location gives Platina strong potential for new gold discoveries. The company plans to begin exploration by reviewing historical data, refining targets and preparing for future drilling programs. With this acquisition, Platina strengthens its district-scale strategy and enhances its chances  of uncovering high-value gold opportunities.
