Askari Metals Strengthens Critical Minerals Potential at Namibia’s Uis Project


 Australian explorer Askari Metals has reported encouraging high-grade polymetallic mineralisation results from its 100%-owned Uis Project in Namibia, reinforcing the project’s growing importance in the global critical minerals sector. The latest trenching program confirmed strong concentrations of tin, lithium, tantalum, rubidium, and caesium across a large pegmatite system, highlighting the project’s potential to become a strategically significant resource asset.

The Phase 1 trenching campaign focused on the OP Pegmatite Target, where mineralisation was identified across a 2.2-kilometre trend. Results included lithium oxide grades up to 0.57% Li₂O and tin values reaching 8,340ppm, alongside elevated tantalum and rubidium readings. According to the company, the mineralised zones typically range between 15 and 30 metres in width, demonstrating the scale and continuity of the system.

Askari Metals stated that the systematic trenching work has validated historical exploration data while improving confidence in the geological model ahead of planned reverse circulation drilling later in 2026. The company believes the project’s location adjacent to the operating Uis Tin Mine provides significant strategic advantages, including access to infrastructure and transport links to Walvis Bay Port.

The Uis Project is gaining investor attention as demand for critical minerals continues to rise globally, particularly for applications in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and advanced electronics. Tin and lithium remain essential for battery technologies, while tantalum and rubidium are increasingly important in high-performance industrial applications.

With additional drilling programs planned and multiple pegmatite targets still under evaluation, Askari Metals is positioning itself as an emerging player in Namibia’s growing critical minerals industry. The latest results suggest the company could further expand the project’s resource potential as exploration advances through 2026.

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.

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.
