Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc has announced that it is planning an airborne VTEM Plus geophysical survey at its Lowney-Lac Edouard property south of the historical Lac Edouard nickel-copper-cobalt (Ni-Cu-Co) mine in Quebec to identify discrete conductive anomalies near the surface to guide its upcoming fieldwork program. The company said the VTEM survey would be completed via helicopter in late June by airborne geophysical survey mapping, interpretation, and analysis company Geotech. The property is of interest to the company’s technical team due to a significant regional gravity anomaly identified by a previous airborne SGL survey, its positive geological context, sediment lake samples that returned elevated nickel and copper, and its proximity to the past-producing Lac Edouard mine.

Guardforce AI Co. Limited said it has entered into two definitive agreements to acquire a total of eight companies in China as it accelerates the commercial rollout of its Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) business initiatives and expands its integrated security capabilities. “China represents a significant growth opportunity, as it is among the largest and fastest-growing economies in the world," the company’s CEO Lei Wang said in a statement. "Importantly, these acquisitions bring established management and sales teams with proven track records in their local markets." Guardforce AI said the first agreement is to acquire Beijing Wanjia Security System Limited, an integrated security provider with 25 years of experience from Shenzhen Yeantec Co, Limited for approximately US$8.4 million.

The Bouse project is a 1GWac solar and battery storage project, located on 6,155 acres of land wholly managed by the BLM in La Paz County 27 miles east of Quartzsite, Arizona. "Completion of the variance approval process is a major milestone for the development of the Bouse project and is the result of some excellent work by the ReVolve development team working closely with the BLM over the last 12 months. We now look forward to continuing this work with the BLM and our external consultants as the project moves into the NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act] process,” Steve Dalton, CEO of ReVolve said in a statement.
GR Silver Mining Ltd has announced high-grade silver results from underground infill drilling at the Plomosas Project in Sinaloa State, Mexico. The results continue to support the potential to increase silver grades at the mine, the company said. Drilling targeted high-grade silver (Ag) mineralization in the upper levels of the underground workings, in areas where unsampled intervals from historical drill holes within the 2021 resource block model were previously assigned zero values. “The 2022 infill drill program at the Plomosas Mine has been carefully designed to address upside potential in the resource block model. It has been our thesis that historical sampling lacked detail in some unmined areas resulting in the adoption of zero grade in unsampled drill hole intervals in the current resource model,” the company's chairman and CEO, Eric Zaunscherb said in a statement.

"We are now entering the second phase of our rollout. Specifically, we are conducting work related to validation, process development, and supply for clinical trials of advanced therapies utilizing our POCare platform and OMPULs,” said Vered Caplan, CEO of Orgenesis, in a statement announcing first-quarter 2022 results.
i-80 Gold Corp said assay results from the first six holes drilled this year in the South Pacific Zone (SPZ) at the company’s Granite Creek property in Humboldt County, Nevada, continue to demonstrate "significant" potential for expansion. The SPZ is a new zone of high-grade gold mineralization located immediately north of the underground mine workings at Granite Creek. It is the priority target of the ongoing surface drill program at Granite Creek and will be included in a resource update following the 2022 program, the mining company said. i-80 Gold highlighted hole iGS22-05, where it intersected an “impressive” 16.4 grammes per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 15.3 metres (m) approximately, 110m down-dip of previous drilling and 50m below hole iGS22-04. “Drilling continues to expand high-grade mineralization in the South Pacific Zone that remains wide open for expansion both along strike and at depth”, Tyler Hill, senior geologist at i-80 said in a statement.

Gratomic Inc has provided an update on its planned 1,250-metre Diamond Drill campaign currently underway at its flagship Aukam graphite project in southern Namibia close to the port city of Luderitz. The Toronto-based graphite project developer said the drillholes are planned to intersect mineralization below the current mine adits. The company said the first hole it has drilled this year, AKD001, is a twin hole of AKR026 which was drilled towards the end of 2021.
Benchmark Metals Inc has reported results from exploration drilling at the Marmot Zone within its flagship, 100% owned Lawyers Gold-Silver Project in British Columbia, including 1.11 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 35.93 g/t silver (Ag) or 1.56 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) over 77 metres (m). The Edmonton-based precious metals explorer said the Marmot discoveries, which more than double the length of a previous drill, appear to have similar high-grade mineralization to the company's multi-million-ounce gold-silver deposits located 3 kilometres to the northwest. "The Marmot Zone results continue to demonstrate the new discovery potential that could add more gold and silver mineralization to its established multi-million-ounce deposits,” Benchmark CEO John Williamson said in a statement.
ACME Lithium Inc said it has mobilized a drilling crew to its Clayton Valley lithium brine project in Nevada, in preparation for a Phase 1 program to better define the property’s potential. The first phase will consist of advancement of an HQ core hole up to 500 metres to assess lithology, permeability features, clay, sandstone and gravel content, and lithium brine potential prospectivity, according to Carson City-based ACME. The firm plans to install a temporary monitoring well in the core hole once drilling is completed, as part of what it has dubbed its Phase 1A program.
PyroGenesis Canada Inc has announced a joint evaluation with a major furnace producer whereby PyroGenesis' zero-emission plasma torches will be tested in the manufacturer’s scrap remelting and holding furnaces for the aluminum industry. The news follows last month’s business update from PyroGenesis, where it announced that it would take advantage of new opportunities in the aluminum market. The agreement involves a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study to gather pre-test data and evaluate plasma for use in furnaces serving the secondary aluminum market—producers who re-melt and re-sell scrap and recycled aluminum. PyroGenesis said it has already received a purchase order for the CFD study, which is well underway with additional next steps already being planned.
FPX Nickel Corp has outlined plans for 2022 exploration drilling at its Decar Nickel District in British Columbia, saying this year's drilling will focus on expansion of mineralization at the Van Target, where an initial drilling program in 2021 confirmed a major new discovery and suggested the potential for Van to host a large-scale, standalone nickel deposit that could rival the deposit already delineated at Decar's Baptiste deposit. The mineral exploration company said this year's program will comprise about 3,000 metres of drilling over 8-10 holes, stepping out meaningfully to the south, southwest and west of the holes drilled in 2021.
Deepspatial Inc said it has joined the World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC), a global not-for-profit trade association of private sector companies working in the geospatial ecosystem.
