Askari Metals Expands Momentum in Namibia’s Emerging Critical Minerals Hub


 Recent trenching campaigns at the OP and PS pegmatite targets delivered strong results for tin, lithium, tantalum, rubidium, and caesium, with mineralisation traced along a major 2.2-kilometre trend. Assays returned tin values as high as 8,340ppm and lithium oxide grades reaching 0.57% Li₂O, confirming the scale and continuity of the mineralised system.

The Uis Project sits adjacent to the operating Uis Tin Mine, providing Askari Metals with strategic access to existing infrastructure, regional mining expertise, and export routes through Walvis Bay Port. Company executives believe the project has significant long-term development potential due to its exposure to multiple critical minerals rather than a single commodity focus.

According to the company, the trenching program was completed on approximately 40-metre spacing to support future drill targeting and resource modelling. Geological data gathered during the campaign has improved confidence ahead of a planned reverse circulation and diamond drilling campaign scheduled for the second half of 2026.

Investor attention toward Namibia’s mining sector has increased in recent years as governments and industries seek diversified supply chains for battery and technology minerals. Lithium remains central to electric vehicle battery production, while tantalum and tin are critical for semiconductors, electronics, and renewable infrastructure. Rubidium and caesium also hold niche but growing importance in specialised industrial and defence technologies.

The broader market response has been positive, with Askari Metals’ share price reacting strongly following the announcement of the high-grade discovery. Analysts and mining commentators suggest the company’s multi-commodity exposure could provide resilience against volatility in individual mineral markets while positioning the project as a potentially attractive future acquisition target within the critical minerals sector.

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.

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.
