Loyal Lithium (ASX:LLI) has kicked off what it’s describing as a comprehensive exploration program at its recently acquired Hidden Lake lithium project in… you guessed it, Canada.

Some 315 untested individual pegmatite outcrops have been by the company identified via high-resolution satellite imagery. These, Loyal Lithium notes, are in addition to four other main spodumene-rich dykes, which have a drill and channel tested cumulative strike length of 2,250m and remain open along strike and depth.

Resource Mining Corporation (ASX:RMI) is focusing on Finland for its lithium. The company says that assays are revealing lithium-bearing pegmatites in the northern part of the Kola lithium project – up to 5.26% Li2O. And at its Hirvikallio lithium project, results of new outcrop samples confirm the presence of lithium-bearing pegmatites there, too.

Advance Metals (ASX:AVM) has confirmed high-grade copper potential in its exploring exploits at the Augustus Polymetallic Project in Arizona.

The company notes that XRF sample results reveal copper grades as high as 20.47% Cu, with a large area for potential copper ore identified through drone-supported ground surveys, geological field reconnaissance, satellite analysis, and geochemical surveys.

Moving down to Tassie, Stellar Resources (ASX:SRZ) has intersected a broad copper-bearing stockwork zone at the North Scamander prospect in north-east Tasmania.

The company writes: “Following 38.6m of visually significant Zn-Pb-Cu mineralisation (announced 28 June 2023), North Scamander exploration drillhole NSD005 has since intersected 160m of pyrrhotite +/- chalcopyrite stockwork veining from 349m, and 14m of weaker pyrrhotite +/- chalcopyrite stockwork veining from 564m.”
