RETRANSMISSION: Spearmint Acquires the Sisson North Tungsten Project

No Comments

Spearmint Resources Inc. (CSE: SPMT) (OTC Pink: SPMTF) (FSE: A2AHL5) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Spearmint’) wishes to announce that it has acquired the ‘Sisson North Tungsten Project’ in New Brunswick directly bordering the Sisson Tungsten Mine. This new project consists of 2,582 contagious acres prospective for tungsten.

James Nelson, President of Spearmint stated, ‘We feel that with the tariff issues that are now very present, tungsten will be one of the most sought after domestically sourced strategic metals. Similar to our foray into antimony, management feels that the China stranglehold will create a demand for tungsten and antimony as the supply chain tightens. We feel that diversifying into these sectors gives our shareholders the best opportunity for success especially now that the junior markets have become very buoyant for tungsten as witnessed by the strong movement of companies such as American Tungsten Corp who’s shares have risen from $0.03 cents in October to a high of $2.37 yesterday showing the strong investor demand for tungsten related companies.’ Mr. Nelson went on to say, ‘In addition, we would like to remind the market of our lithium holdings in Clayton Valley, Nevada, which are prospective for both lithium clay & lithium brine, at a time when we feel domestically sourced lithium projects will garner significantly more market interest in 2025. Despite the negative sentiment around lithium and EV’s over the last two years, the recent data clearly shows that EV sales are increasing and the momentum for EV sales globally is in fact strengthening, not weakening.’

As of February 2025, the United States under President Donald Trump has implemented significant tariffs on imports from China, including a 10% duty on nearly all Chinese goods, effective February 4, 2025. In response, China has enacted countermeasures, notably imposing export controls on critical minerals, including tungsten, which is essential for various industries such as aerospace, electronics, and defense.

Tungsten has always been a valuable material due to its unique properties, such as its extremely high melting point, strength, and durability. It is used in a wide variety of applications, including manufacturing hard metals, electronics, lightbulb filaments, and in military and aerospace technologies. However, China’s actions regarding tungsten have made it even more valuable for several reasons:

  1. Supply Control: China is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of tungsten, controlling a significant portion of global tungsten reserves. By tightening its production and export quotas, China reduces the global supply of tungsten. This limited supply increases the material’s value, as demand remains high but availability becomes constrained.

  2. Increased Demand: As industries evolve, the demand for tungsten in high-tech applications-such as electronics, energy production, and military hardware-has risen. The scarcity of tungsten, due to China’s restrictions, further drives up its market price as industries compete for access to this crucial resource.

  3. Strategic Resource: Tungsten is a critical material for many industries, particularly in defense and aerospace sectors. China’s control over the supply means it can influence the global market and, in some cases, potentially use tungsten as a strategic lever in geopolitical relations, adding to its perceived value.

In short, the combination of China’s tightening control over tungsten production and the growing demand for this critical material has made tungsten even more valuable on the global market.

Recently, China banned exports of critical minerals, including antimony, to the United States. As trade tensions escalate between the United States and China, this move clearly emphasizes the urgent need for Western nations to secure reliable long-term sources of these critical minerals, which are now at the forefront of the global supply chain crisis.

Qualified person for mining disclosure:

The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Frank Bain, PGeo, a director of the company and qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

About Spearmint Resources Inc.

Spearmint’s projects include four projects in Clayton Valley, Nevada: the 1,136-acre McGee lithium clay deposit, which has a resource estimate of 1,369,000 indicated tonnes and 723,000 inferred tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) for a total of 2,092,000 tonnes of LCE, directly bordering Pure Energy Minerals & Century Lithium Corp.; the 280-acre Elon lithium brine project, which has access to some of the deepest parts of the only lithium brine basin in production in North America; the 124-acre Green Clay lithium project; and the 248-acre Clayton Ridge gold project, the 4,722-acre George Lake South Antimony Project in New Brunswick and the 2,582 acre Sisson North Tungsten Project.

This project was acquired via staking.

Gold vs. Platinum: Which is the True Metal of Love?

No Comments

Valentine’s Day is here again — the season of grand gestures, red roses and debates over the perfect gift.

Jewelry is a favorite choice, with engagement rings, bracelets and necklaces serving as timeless symbols of love. But when it comes to picking the ultimate metal of romance, is gold the champion, or does platinum reign supreme?

Both metals have a long history of adorning royalty, marking milestones and symbolizing love. But they offer very different qualities, from durability and symbolism to price and prestige.

If you’re planning to gift — or receive — a piece of jewelry this Valentine’s Day, here’s everything you need to know about the real heavyweight battle: gold vs. platinum.

Round 1: Strength and durability

Love is supposed to last forever, and so should your jewelry.

Here, platinum lands its first punch. It’s one of the most durable precious metals, allowing it to resist wear and tear and retain mass over time. That means an engagement ring or wedding band made of platinum will stay nearly the same for decades, even with daily use. Plus, it’s naturally white and never fades.

Gold, on the other hand, is softer. Pure 24k gold is too malleable for jewelry, so it’s mixed with other metals to create 18k or 14k gold. Even then, it’s still prone to scratches and thinning over the years, especially in rings worn daily.

White gold, which competes directly with platinum in color, requires rhodium plating to maintain its bright sheen — and that plating can wear off, meaning you’ll need occasional reapplications to keep it looking fresh.

Winner: Platinum. It’s tougher and ages gracefully — just like a strong relationship.

Round 2: Symbolism and romance

Gold has been the metal of love for centuries. Ancient Egyptians associated it with eternity, Romans crafted wedding rings from it and it’s been a staple in engagement rings for generations.

Its rich, warm hue is often linked to passion and commitment, making it the classic choice for romantics.

Platinum, however, is the modern-day love metal. It’s rarer, more exclusive and represents endurance and resilience — qualities many couples see as ideal in a relationship.

In the early 20th century, platinum became the go-to metal for high-end jewelry, and brands like Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) solidified its reputation as the luxury choice for engagement rings.

Winner: Tie. Gold is the traditional favorite, but platinum’s rarity and strength make it just as meaningful.

Round 3: Price and investment value

If your Valentine’s Day gift doubles as an investment, gold might be the safer bet.

Gold has been a recognized store of value for centuries, often increasing in price during economic uncertainty. The yellow metal is also easier to trade and sell, making it a more liquid asset.

Currently gold is priced at over US$2,900 per ounce, trading near its all-time high.

Platinum, while rarer than gold, doesn’t always hold its value as consistently. Its price fluctuates more due to industrial demand, particularly in the automotive sector (it’s a key material in catalytic converters).

Its highest price ever is US$2,290 per ounce, a level it hit in 2008; presently the metal is valued at US$1,035.

Winner: Gold. If you’re thinking about long-term financial value, gold’s track record makes it the better investment.

Round 4: Wearability and maintenance

Comfort is key when wearing jewelry every day.

Platinum is denser and heavier than gold, and while some love this substantial feel, others find too weighty. It also develops a natural patina over time — a slightly matte finish that some appreciate, but others might want to polish away.

Gold, being lighter, is generally more comfortable for everyday wear.

Yellow and rose gold don’t require extra maintenance, but white gold does — it needs regular rhodium plating to maintain its bright finish. If you’re not a fan of frequent upkeep, that’s something to consider.

Winner: Gold. It’s lighter and offers more color options. But platinum wins for those who don’t mind a bit of patina.

The verdict: Which metal should you choose?

So, which is the real metal of love? Well, it depends on what matters most to you.

  • If you want durability and timeless strength, platinum is your best bet.
  • If you value tradition, warmth and investment potential, gold is the classic choice.
  • If you’re after a low-maintenance option, yellow or rose gold requires the least upkeep.
  • If you want something rare and exclusive, platinum’s prestige is hard to beat.

At the end of the day, both gold and platinum have their own magic. Whether you go for the rich glow of gold or the cool resilience of platinum, the most important thing is the love behind the gift.

Because let’s be honest — when you’re in love, any jewelry will sparkle a little brighter.

5 Top Canadian Silver Stocks of 2025

No Comments

Silver-mining companies and juniors have seen support from a strong silver price in 2025. The white metal has gained steadily since the start of the year, rising 11.47 percent to breach the US$32 per ounce mark.

Silver’s dual function as a monetary and industrial metal offers great upside. Demand from energy transition sectors, especially for use in the production of solar panels, has created tight supply and demand forces.

Demand is already outpacing mine supply, making for a positive situation for silver-producing companies.

So far, aboveground stockpiles have been keeping the price in check, but the expectation is those stocks will be depleted in 2025 or 2026, further restricting the supply side of the market.

How has silver’s price movement benefited Canadian silver stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE? The five companies listed below have seen the best performances since the start of the year. Data was gathered using TradingView’s stock screener on February 12, 2025, and all companies listed had market caps over C$10 million at that time.

1. Discovery Silver (TSX:DSV)

Company Profile

Year-to-date gain: 125.35 percent
Market cap: C$616.71 million
Share price: C$1.6

Discovery Silver is a precious metals development company focused on advancing its Cordero silver project in Mexico. Additionally, it is looking to become a gold producer with its recently announced acquisition of the producing Porcupine Complex in Ontario, Canada.

Cordero is located in Mexico’s Chihuahua State and is composed of 26 titled mining concessions covering approximately 35,000 hectares in a prolific silver and gold mining district.

A 2024 feasibility study for the project outlined proven and probable reserves of 327 million metric tons of ore containing 302 million ounces of silver at an average grade of 29 grams per metric ton (g/t) silver, and 840,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.08 g/t gold. The site also hosts significant zinc and lead reserves.

The report also indicated favorable economics for development. At a base case scenario of US$22 per ounce of silver and US$1,600 per ounce of gold, the project has an after-tax net present value of US$1.18 billion, an internal rate of return of 22 percent and a payback period of 5.2 years.

Discovery’s shares gained significantly on January 27, after the company announced it had entered into a deal to acquire the Porcupine Complex in Canada from Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM).

The Porcupine Complex is made up of four mines including two which are already in production: Hoyle Pond and Borden. Additionally, a significant portion of the complex is located in the Timmins Gold Camp, a region known for historic gold production.

Discovery anticipates production of 285,000 ounces of gold annually over the next 10 years and has a mine life of 22 years. Inferred resources at the site point to significant expansion, with 12,493.5 million ounces of gold, from 254.5 million metric tons of ore with an average grade of 1.53 g/t.

Upon the closing of the transaction, Discovery will pay Newmont US$200 million in cash and US$75 million in common shares, and US$150 million of deferred consideration will be paid in four payments beginning on December 31, 2027.

Discovery’s share price reached a year-to-date high of C$1.65 on February 4.

2. Avino Silver and Gold (TSX:ASM)

Trump Ties Ukraine Aid to US$500 Billion in Rare Earths

No Comments

US President Donald Trump has linked continued American support for Ukraine in its war against Russia to securing US$500 billion worth of critical minerals from the country.

“I told them I want the equivalent of like US$500 billion worth of rare earth,” he said in an interview with Fox News.

Trump added that ongoing aid without securing such assets would be an unsustainable approach, noting that financial assistance should be matched by corresponding resource access.

Ukraine reportedly holds significant deposits of rare earth elements, as well as lithium, titanium and other critical minerals necessary for advanced technology and defense manufacturing.

While the country has sought international partnerships to develop its resource sector, much of its mineral wealth remains untapped or is located in contested regions affected by the war.

Trump’s remarks are a reflection of US interest in securing alternative supply chains for critical minerals. While the US is keen to ramp up domestic output, it is also looking to reduce dependence on Chinese suppliers.

Ukraine has positioned its mineral wealth as a strategic bargaining tool, with President Volodymyr Zelensky promoting resource development as part of his country’s long-term recovery and defense strategy. In a recent interview, he said he is open to discussions with the US regarding mineral extraction and economic partnerships.

“The Americans helped the most, and therefore the Americans should earn the most,” Zelensky said, also indicating that Ukraine’s allies will play a role in post-war reconstruction, which will include resource development.

Despite Ukraine’s potential for large-scale resource extraction, industry experts caution that developing the country’s mining sector presents challenges. Many deposits require substantial investment before they can be commercially viable, and on top of that, ongoing conflict in the country complicates new mining operations.

The Zavallivsky graphite mine, a 90 year old operation in Ukraine, illustrates these difficulties. It is currently facing equipment shortages, workforce reductions due to the war and disruptions in funding.

Speaking to Reuters, CEO Ostap Kostyuk acknowledged the potential for expansion, but noted that outdated infrastructure and financing issues limit production. “No matter what, it’s a long-term investment,” he explained to the news outlet, emphasizing that it would take years to scale up operations to meet US demand.

As a whole, Ukraine’s mining sector has struggled with chronic underinvestment. The country’s mineral reserves were classified over two decades ago, making it difficult to assess their current and full economic potential.

Ksenia Orynchak, head of the National Extractive Industries Association, echoed the idea that without significant foreign investment, large-scale mineral extraction will remain a challenge.

WESTERN COPPER AND GOLD PROVIDES POSITIVE METALLURGICAL UPDATE

No Comments

western copper and gold corporation (‘Western’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX: WRN) (NYSE American: WRN) is pleased to announce results from a supplemental metallurgical program (the ‘Metallurgical Program’) for its wholly owned Casino Copper-Gold Project (‘ Casino ‘).

Western Copper and Gold Corporation Logo (CNW Group/Western Copper and Gold Corporation)

The Metallurgical Program used drill core composites of material representing potential mill feed taken from the 2023 diamond drilling program with more variable copper, gold, and molybdenum levels than had been tested in previous drill campaigns and from a broader period of planned mining.

Attractive Recoveries – Standard processing methods continue to produce good recoveries for copper and gold, consistent with previous metallurgical work. The program achieved significantly higher recoveries for molybdenum (approximately 90% in hypogene material versus overall 71% in the Feasibility Study).

High Grade Concentrates with Low Impurities – Casino would produce a high gold grade copper concentrate and a separate molybdenum concentrate. Both are expected to be highly marketable given the very low levels of impurities.

Further Potential Upside – Primary grind size for Casino is expected to be 210μm which compares quite favorably versus other similar projects.  Initial coarse particle separation tests, conducted during this program, suggest an opportunity to further increase primary grind size without sacrificing recoveries.

‘The latest metallurgical testing complements the work released in 2023 and now creates a fairly comprehensive picture of the attractive recoveries and metallurgical characteristics of the Casino Project. The project has the ability to produce highly sought after, high-grade concentrates into a market experiencing significant tightness, especially for cleaner concentrates such as those from Casino .’ said Sandeep Singh , President and CEO.

Metallurgical Program

The outline of the Metallurgical Program and the review of the results were developed by Western’s Technical and Sustainability Committee, which is comprised of members from Western, Rio Tinto and Mitsubishi Materials.

The fifteen composites of approximately 200 kg were subjected to detailed mineralogy, comminution testing, flotation testing and detailed analysis of copper concentrates. Composite preparation and all metallurgical test work was completed at ALS Metallurgy in Kamloops, B.C.

Table 1 shows the analysis of the composites and their associated lithology, either Supergene Sulphide (SUS) or Hypogene (HYP). The target composition was achieved for all composites except Composite 14, which contained very low grades and was subject to limited testing. Composite 8 was also excluded from the results below, as it was intentionally selected as an outlier to maximize deleterious content.

Casino has two main copper-gold zones, the Supergene Sulphide Zone which represents about 25% of the resource and the Hypogene Zone, which represents about 70% of the resource. The remaining 5% of the resource is represented by oxide materials.

Flotation Test Results

Casino proposes using flotation to produce saleable copper-gold and molybdenum concentrates using an industry standard process flowsheet. Gold values are expected to be recovered within a copper concentrate and be payable under typical copper concentrate smelting terms and molybdenum is separated from a bulk copper-molybdenum concentrate to produce separate copper and molybdenum concentrates.

Table 2 depicts metallurgical recoveries obtained for hypogene composites using locked cycle testing. Hypogene samples demonstrate consistently high copper recoveries and very good quality copper concentrates. An average molybdenum recovery to a bulk copper-molybdenum concentrate of 90%, significantly higher than previous testing, was achieved for the hypogene composites without including Composite 2, which had a very low molybdenum head grade.

Table 3 shows locked cycle test results for supergene sulphide samples. Copper concentrate grade does not appear to be significantly impacted when processing supergene sulphide weathered materials. The reduction in overall copper recovery in flotation is a function of the weak acid soluble copper content (shown in Table 1) and is in line with previous test work. Molybdenum and gold recoveries are similar to previous test work.

Copper Concentrate Quality

The flotation concentrates produced from Casino continue to demonstrate very good grades in terms of copper and gold, as well as low levels of potential penalty elements. Table 4 shows a summary of copper concentrates produced from the recent test work, including key elements relevant to smelter terms. Average values for penalty elements, including As, Sb, Hg and F are shown to be well below typical smelter contract terms.

Coarse Particle Separation Testing

A hypogene master composite was prepared for coarse particle flotation to test the impact on recoveries while increasing the primary grind size. In a single test, the grind size was increased from the project baseline of 210μm to 292μm with no significant change in overall copper and gold recoveries, and a small reduction in molybdenum recovery. The initial testing was promising and warrants future testing and evaluation.
