Explorer Mamba Exploration (ASX:M24) hit wide zones of clay rare earths in 20 of 22 drill holes at its Hyden project in the WA wheatbelt.

Highlights include 54m at 758ppm from surface to end of hole.

Fourteen of the holes end in mineralisation, suggesting “that there is potential for not only clay hosted mineralisation, but also bedrock mineralisation in the area”, M24 says.

Highfield Resources (ASX:HFR) now has all the required permits to begin full scale production of the 1Mtpa ‘Muga’ potash project in Spain, where it has been plugging away for well over a decade.

It recently signed a finance deal worth €320.6m to help build Phase 1 (capex €436m) and is currently negotiating with other sources of capital and equity financing to make up the difference.

Spain lithium play Infinity Lithium (ASX:INF) also received a key exploration permit (PESE) over the flagship ‘San Jose’ project.

Wide Open Agriculture (ASX:WOA) says its Buntine protein has been well received as a key ingredient in a variety food applications, with potential partners/buyers commenting on its “clean taste and smooth mouthfeel”.

Besieged Jervois Mining (ASX:JRV) has suspended final construction at Idaho Cobalt Operations (ICO) in the US due to continuing low cobalt prices and inflationary impacts on construction costs.

Having already spent US$130m, JRV expects to complete construction and commission ICO when cobalt prices recover.

The $240m capped stock is now down an astonishing 93% on a peak price of 98c in April last year.
