Mt Monger Resources (ASX:MTM) will buy the Pomme hard rock rare earths project in Quebec, Canada, from TSX listed explorer Geomega Resources for ~$1m in cash and shares.

The company says it has similar geology to Geomega’s advanced 266Mt Montviel carbonatite REE-Nb deposit, just 7km away.

Dateline Resources (ASX:DTR) now has a partner which will allow production to restart at its Gold Links gold mine in Colorado.

The deal combines DTR’s Gold Links mine and Lucky Strike processing plant with US company MW Sorter’s 51,000oz stockpiles at the London and Hock Hocking mines, ~160km from the plant.

The new entity will be owned 50% by DTR, 40% by MW and 10% by a private Aussie investor.

Wednesday’s biggest loser FYI Resources (ASX:FYI)  partially bounced back from its precipitous +60% fall.

The selloff began after US aluminium giant Alcoa pulled out of a deal to develop FYI’s advanced HPA project in Perth, WA.

The now scrapped agreement – which wasn’t popular with shareholders either — would’ve seen Alcoa acquire 65% of the project by spending $US243m on project development.

The project now reverts to FYI, who will develop an alternative plan and schedule for development with a “speed to market” approach.

Red 5’s (ASX:RED) return to equity markets for the second time in under six months has left a sour taste for investors, who pummelled the stock after the gold miner re-emerged to trade after announcing the completion of a $90m cash call.

The $80m placement came at a 22.9% discount to its Monday price of 17.5c, with a $10m fully underwritten share purchase plan also announced.

Graphite project developer Talga Group (ASX:TLG) has raised $40m at $1.55/sh – a 11.5% discount to 20-day VWAP.

This represents a solid premium to TLG’s last raise in October, when it topped up its cash pile with a $32m placement and share purchase plan at $1.10/sh.

And law firm Shine Justice (ASX:SHJ) saw net profit after tax fall 18.39% to $10.65m in the six months ending December, compared to the same period in 2021.
