The Alicanto team has identified a host of compelling targets in a 3.5-kilometre corridor stretching away from Falun and the drill rig is now turning.

Kingsland Minerals has a rapidly emerging graphite discovery in the Northern Territory, the Leliyn Project looks extremely promising with spectacular assays including 209m at 10% graphite. Mineralisation has been outlined over 5 kilometres and this sits within a longer graphitic schist which measures 20 kilometres. Managing Director Richard Maddocks, says the company is on track to publish a maiden resource estimate for the project later this year. Drilling is ongoing, metallurgical tests are underway and the project is emerging as a globally significant graphite find. The US and Europe desperately wants graphite from places outside of China, it's considered to be a critical mineral and therefore the size, the grade and location of this project says its future is very exciting.

Astute Metals has a fascinating lithium exploration story in Nevada. But you won’t hear the words pegmatite or spodumene once. That’s because the lithium Astute is looking for is in claystone, effectively meaning it is disseminated in a manner similar to a gold deposit. The key advantage is that all this rock can be dug up and placed in the processing plant with virtually pure lithium coming out the other end, ready for sale directly to lithium battery makers. No spodumene concentrate, no shipping a product with 94% waste and double handling it into processing factories and out again. It leaves the mine site battery-ready. Astute’s first hole at the Altair project hit two zones of mineralisation. Follow-up drilling is now planned at Altair along with a maiden drilling program at its new Cobre lithium project, which is also claystone. The Board hosts some of the key Pilbara Minerals founders and the Company has a market cap of just $15m. Our chat with Matt Healy, the General Manager of Exploration, is a must-listen for investors in the lithium space.

If the analysts, fund managers and just about everyone else who follows the uranium market are even half-right, then the price of the nuclear fuel is about to take off in a big way. They all cite lack of new supply and surging demand as reasons to believe that the next uranium bull market is almost upon us. If the price does meet these expectations, investors will be chasing leveraged exposure .. and lots of it. That's where 92 Energy (92E) fits into the scene. Managing Director Siobhan Lancaster says 92 is ideally placed to capitalise on this cycle, with drilling now underway at the Company's high-grade Gemini uranium discovery in Canada's Athabasca Basin. The drilling is aimed at extending the known high-grade mineralisation and testing new areas. Siobhan is a bundle of energy, enthusiasm and uranium knowledge. She has an indepth understanding of the uranium market and shares her thoughts on the macro outlook as well as 92's prospects in this fantastic podcast.
