Lindian Resources Ltd (ASX:LIN, OTC:LINIF) has received independent confirmation from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) that its Kangankunde monazite concentrate is exempt from radioactive transport classification under international regulations — a result the company says materially de-risks its pathway to market.
ANSTO concluded that representative Kangankunde concentrate samples would not be classified as radioactive for transport under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s SSR-6 framework, meaning shipments are not subject to Class 7 dangerous goods controls.
Riversgold Ltd (ASX:RGL, FRA:RGV, OTC:RVSGF) has significantly expanded its landholding at the Kalgoorlie Gold Project, increasing its tenement footprint by more than 800% as it advances plans for the Northern Zone intrusive-hosted gold deposit.

Lindian Resources Ltd (ASX:LIN, OTC:LINIF) says the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has completed an independent radiological assessment of 2 representative Kangankunde monazite concentrate samples (Certificate of Analysis 25GAM228, Appendix A).
