WHAT GOT YOU TALKING YESTERDAY?

Goldman Sachs believes the US and Europe could both end reliance on Chinese EV batteries by 2030, putting project developers like Sayona Mining (ASX:SYA) and Piedmont Lithium (ASX:PLL) in a prime position as they close in on a restart of the North American Lithium (NAL) operation Québec, Canada.

And the New York Times is copping serious heat on Twitter for having failed crypto king SBF speak at an upcoming event.

Earlier this week, Iceni Gold (ASX:ICL) announced it was  picking up gold nuggs over several kilometres at the Guyer prospect, part of the flagship 14 Mile Well project in WA.

Yesterday, the explorer released a presso containing a bunch more photos, and they look impressive:

Health data stock Beamtree (ASX:BMT) re-affirmed its reported revenue growth target of ~35% in FY23 and said it was “moving towards being operating cash flow positive in FY23”.

Continued strong demand for its core services, particularly cyber security, has allowed Nexion Group (ASX:NNG) to deliver record revenue of $1.1m in October.

The Lodestar Minerals (ASX:LSR) and Auroch Minerals (ASX:AOU) joint venture has drilled into high grade lithium at the Nepean project, including 2m at 3.26% Li2O from 198m.

Numerous large, outcropping pegmatites have been identified at Accelerate Resources’ (ASX:AX8) East Pilbara project, 30km east of Global Lithium Resources’ Archer lithium deposit (10.5 Mt @ 1.0% LiO2).

And Westar Resources (ASX:WSR) will buy the Mindoolah lithium-gold project, and sell its Gidgee South gold project to Aurumin (ASX:AUN) in a separate transaction.
