Metalicity (ASX:MCT) has expanded the size of its Mt Surprise copper-cobalt project in North Queensland.

Some dodgy business happening over in Zambia, where Argonaut Resources’ (ASX:ARE) Lumwana West exploration licence was recently cancelled and then granted to another party within 30 days.

ARE is, of course, appealing. The company said that the High Court made a ruling which compels the Minister who made the original call to decide the appeal within 30 days.

PNX Metals (ASX:PNX) has identified multiple high grade gold targets at its Burnside project in the NT, with rock chip sampling returning grades up to ~12g/t.

And Reach Resources (ASX:RR1) has picked up four tenements prospective for lithium, rare earth element (REE) and manganese in WA.
