China has reportedly issued the first batch of streamlined rare earth export permits to several magnet makers since its implementation of a new rare earth licensing regime following the recent Trump–Xi summit.

According to a Reuters exclusive, the source said at least three major producers received “general licenses” allowing faster exports to some clients.

These include: JL Mag Rare Earth (HKEX:6680), Ningbo Yunsheng (SHA:600366) and Beijing Zhong Ke San Huan High-Tech (SZSE:000970). JL Mag secured approval to ship to nearly all of its customers, while the two others obtained permits covering part of their client base.

All three companies, along with the Ministry of Commerce, declined to comment on the matter.

The new licenses stem from negotiations launched after President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping met in late October, easing a stretch of trade tensions that had intensified when Beijing expanded rare earth export restrictions in April and again in October.

China began drafting a streamlined regime shortly after the meeting, but industry insiders cautioned that the changes would fall short of Washington’s hopes for a full rollback.

For months, exporters have been required to obtain a license for every shipment—an onerous process that buyers say caused weeks-long delays and even temporary shortages.

The rules slowed the approval of more than 2,000 EU applications, just over half of which were cleared.

The White House said after the summit that Beijing had agreed to introduce general licenses, framing the step as the “de facto end” of China’s export controls, though Chinese officials have not publicly confirmed any broader easing.

Rare earth firms innovate to bypass tightening restrictions

Facing long waits, or even outright denials, for exports containing restricted heavy rare earths, companies have turned to redesigning magnet formulas to avoid them entirely.

Employees from several leading manufacturers told the Wall Street Journal that firms have refined production techniques, including grinding materials into extremely fine particles to improve heat resistance without relying on the regulated elements.

The result is a new class of magnets that can operate at temperatures around 300 degrees Fahrenheit, suitable for many appliances though not always for automotive and aerospace applications.

Western buyers are embracing the products despite concerns about performance, with traders describing the choice as one between imperfect magnets and no magnets at all.

Other companies have turned to entirely different strategies. Because magnets themselves require licenses but assembled components do not, Chinese producers are increasingly partnering with local suppliers to embed magnets into motors or other parts before exporting them.

The practice has grown as Beijing intensifies scrutiny on smuggling and as magnet makers appoint compliance officers to ensure shipments adhere to the law.

But regulators have also moved to close loopholes. After firms began substituting holmium for other restricted elements, China added holmium to its control list in October, though enforcement has been delayed for one year under the Trump–Xi agreement.

Industry executives warn that Beijing could tighten restrictions again, given its dominant role in rare earth processing and its subsequent use as a geopolitical leverage.

Oil prices climbed on Monday (December 1) as the escalation in the US-Venezuela tensions reached a fever pitch, offsetting weeks of losses driven by oversupply expectations.

The market’s shift also came after the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC)—a key transit route that carries about 1 percent of global oil—halted operations over the weekend. The company reported that a mooring point at its Russian Black Sea terminal had been damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack, which temporarily curbed exports.

Ukraine has also targeted two oil tankers heading toward Novorossiysk, further rattling market sentiment.

The supply shock landed just as OPEC+ opted to leave production levels unchanged for the first quarter of 2026. The group had signaled the possibility of a pause as early as November, seeking to avoid exacerbating what analysts feared could become a sizeable glut.

The decision provided a modest anchor for traders recalibrating expectations for early-2026 supply.

“For some time, the narrative has centred on an oil glut, so OPEC+’s decision to maintain its production target provided some relief and helped stabilise expectations for supply growth in the coming months,” LSEG senior analyst Anh Pham told Reuters.

Even with Monday’s rise, both Brent and WTI futures settled lower last Friday. This marked their fourth straight monthly decline and the longest losing streak since 2023.

Venezuela condemns US “colonialist threat”

A far more dramatic source of volatility also emerged from Washington over the weekend. On Saturday, US President Donald Trump declared that “the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela” should be considered closed.

“To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY,” the Chief Executive warned on Truth Social.

Trump also told service members last week that US forces would “very soon” begin land-based operations targeting Venezuelan drug-trafficking networks.

Further, reports surfaced that the White House and Caracas held a tense, last-ditch phone call aimed at defusing a worsening standoff.

According to sources cited by the Miami Herald, Washington told President Nicolás Maduro he could secure safe passage for himself, his wife Cilia Flores, and his son only if he stepped down immediately.

The conversation stalled as Venezuela refused to surrender control of the armed forces or accept an immediate resignation.

Washington itself has been increasingly aggressive toward what it describes as Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles, which US officials accuse Maduro and senior leaders of operating.

Last month, the State Department’s decision to designate the cartel as a Foreign Terrorist Organization placed Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, and Vladimir Padrino López in the same legal category as al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Caracas condemned the aggression, labeling it as a “colonialist threat” seeking support from its allies. On Sunday, Maduro issued an appeal to fellow OPEC members, urging the bloc to help counter what he described as “growing and illegal threats” from the United States.

In a letter published by state broadcaster TeleSUR, he accused Washington of trying to “seize” Venezuela’s oil reserves and warned that US military pressure could disrupt the global energy market.

“I hope to count on your best efforts to help stop this aggression, which is growing stronger and seriously threatens the balance of the international energy market, both for producing and consuming countries,” Maduro wrote.

Venezuela exported just US$4.05 billion in crude oil in 2023, far below other major producers, due largely to US sanctions imposed during Trump’s first term.

Brent crude stood at US$62.76 a barrel on Tuesday morning (December 2), while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) traded at US$58.93.

Southern Cross Gold (TSX:SXGC,ASX:SXG,OTCQX:SXGCF) has received work plan approval for an exploration tunnel at its Sunday Creek gold-antimony project in Victoria, Australia.

The company said in a November 27 announcement that the exploration tunnel will provide underground access to high-grade mineralization at Sunday Creek.

Southern Cross will then be able to perform detailed geological mapping and sampling of mineralized structures, and execute precision underground drilling to expand and define the resource along strike and at depth.

It will also be able to collect geotechnical data essential for future mine design, and assess various mining methods and equipment selection for potential future operations.

“This approval is a pivotal milestone in Sunday Creek’s evolution from exploration discovery to future potential mine development,” said Southern Cross President and CEO Michael Hudson, adding that underground access builds on Sunday Creek’s other key attributes, including strategic freehold land ownership and proven metallurgy.

Hudson also noted that there are currently 10 operational surface drill rigs at the site, with the company planning to add an additional 12 drill rigs underground after the decline is complete for 22 rigs in total.

That will give Sunday Creek the largest pre-development drill program in Australia.

The Minerals Council of Australia said the exploration tunnel approval is a major step forward in Victoria’s status as the sole Australian source of antimony. Interest in antimony is on the rise as the critical mineral has immense strategic importance for defense, as well as for solar panels, batteries, semiconductors and flame retardants.

“The approval of the exploration tunnel at Sunday Creek, along with October’s approval of the Catalyst Metals (ASX:CYL,OTC Pink:CTYMF)/Hancock Prospecting joint venture Boyd’s Dam gold project, sends a clear message that Victoria is open for business in advanced minerals exploration approvals for deeper mineral deposits,” wrote James Sorahan, the Minerals Council of Australia’s executive director for Victoria.

“To support Victoria’s emerging critical minerals and existing gold sectors, exploration spending needs to increase after a recent decline from record high levels,” he added.

Southern Cross said that site establishment activities are scheduled to commence within the next month.

The company is also progressing secondary approvals under the Water Act and Environment Protection Act, as well as other relevant agencies, before underground work commences.

Underground construction is projected to take six to nine months.

West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WHY,OTC:WHYRF) (FSE: W0H) (the ‘Company’ or ‘West High Yield’) is pleased to provide a corporate update highlighting the posting of the initial reclamation bond for its Record Ridge magnesium and critical minerals project (the ‘Record Ridge Project’ or the ‘Project’) located 10 kilometers southwest of Rossland, British Columbia, along with ongoing advancement of key permit conditions and pre-construction activities. Since receiving its Mines Act permit from the British Columbia Ministry of Mines and Critical Minerals (the ‘Permit’) for the Project, the Company has accelerated work across regulatory, environmental, engineering, and capital planning streams in preparation for targeted construction mobilization in the second quarter of 2026.

Initial Reclamation Bond Posted – Advancing Permit Condition Fulfillment

West High Yield has formally completed the first phase of the reclamation bond with the British Columbia Ministry of Mines and Critical Minerals, fulfilling a key British Columbia Mines Act Permit requirement and a key marker of de-risking the Record Ridge Project. This milestone:

  • reduces regulatory timeline uncertainty;
  • confirms alignment with provincial environmental and closure requirements; and
  • progresses the Project toward full construction authorization.

‘We continue to move the Record Ridge Project forward in a disciplined and structured manner,’ stated Frank Marasco, President & CEO of West High Yield. ‘Posting the initial reclamation bond and executing the early-stage Permit requirements demonstrate our commitment to responsible development and to maintaining strong momentum following the issuance of the Mines Act Permit.’

Environmental and Groundwork Activities Strengthen 2026 Construction Readiness

Since the issuance of the Permit, the Company has advanced a sequence of pre-development tasks required ahead of site mobilization, including:

  • a comprehensive vegetation audit covering the access corridor and mine footprint;
  • tree marking and footprint delineation to refine the disturbance boundaries and engineering detail; and
  • baseline site-preparation work to support final design and contracting.

These activities advance the Company toward the Project construction readiness, enabling mobilization in the second quarter of 2026 subject to final financing and regulatory coordination.

Strategic Capital Pathway: Government Programs and Private Financing Advancing

The Company is actively advancing both government and private-sector financing initiatives as part of its structured capital strategy for the Record Ridge Project.

Investor Insight

Sankamap Metals offers exposure to new coppergold discovery potential in one of the last underexplored regions of the Ring of Fire, with two fully owned, drill-ready assets positioned along a world-class mineral belt.

Company Highlights

  • Two 100 percent owned copper and gold properties – Kuma and Fauro – within a highly prospective copper-gold trend in the Solomon Islands.
  • Drill-ready targets supported by strong historical sampling, including grab samples up to 11.7 percent copper, 13.5 grams per ton (g/t) gold at Kuma, and 173 g/t gold; plus, drill intercepts of 35 m at 2.08 g/t gold at Fauro.
  • Strategically located along the same mineral belt as major deposits, including Newmont’s 71.9 Moz Lihir gold mine.
  • Underexplored mining-friendly jurisdiction with strong government support and established local workforce.
  • Large-scale system potential, including a km-scale copper-gold anomaly at Kuma and multiple high-grade epithermal and porphyry-style targets at Fauro.
  • Inaugural drilling at Kuma, scheduled to begin in January 2026, marking a major catalyst for the project.
  • Strong technical leadership, with a management team that has collectively raised over $1 billion and delivered significant shareholder returns.

Overview

Sankamap Metals (CSE: SCU) is a Canadian exploration company advancing the Oceania Project, a high-impact copper–gold opportunity in the mineral-rich South Pacific. The project includes two fully permitted properties – Kuma and Fauro – in the Solomon Islands, one of the last untapped frontiers of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

The company’s land package is strategically positioned near world-class deposits, such as Newmont Mining’s 71.9 Moz Lihir gold mine and Bougainville Copper’s historic Panguna deposit with 19.3 Moz gold and 5.3 Mt copper resources.

CEO John Florek investigating mineralized outcrop at Kuma property during the summer site visit

Kuma and Fauro are 100 percent owned and drill-ready. Both assets benefit from compelling historical sampling, large-scale geophysical anomalies, and district-scale geological characteristics that support the potential for major porphyry and epithermal systems.

The company focuses on systematic exploration, delineating high-priority drill targets to unlock discovery opportunities. With strong national support for mining and a leadership team deeply experienced in major global jurisdictions, Sankamap is well positioned to generate early and meaningful shareholder value as exploration advances.

Key Properties

Kuma Property

The Kuma property spans 43 sq km and lies 37 km southeast of Honiara on Guadalcanal Island. The property is considered a highly compelling drill-ready porphyry target. Historical sampling returned values up to 11.7 percent copper and 13.5 g/t gold, accompanied by a kilometre-scale copper-gold geochemical anomaly. Airborne geophysical surveys, including mobile magnetotelluric (MT), reveal resistive and conductive features consistent with porphyry, epithermal and skarn-style mineral systems.

Kuma benefits from year-round access and proximity to the Gold Ridge mine. Lidar, surface geochemistry, and geophysics surveys have advanced target definition toward a 2026 drill program. Alteration mapping defined a 2 km lithocap, indicating a potential significant porphyry below that’s not yet tested by drilling.

Kuma is positioned for discovery potential on a scale comparable to other major systems in the region.

Current work at Kuma is focused on refining priority drill targets through ongoing analysis of newly released geophysical and geological datasets. A field visit in November was aimed at ground-truthing these targets, confirming interpretations, and finalizing on-the-ground logistics. Pad and camp construction began in late November, ahead of the inaugural drilling campaign set for January 2026, an important milestone in advancing the Kuma property toward discovery.

Fauro Property

The 147 sq km Fauro property encompasses a high-grade epithermal gold target with indications of a porphyry system at depth. Formed by the collapse of the Fauro calc-alkaline volcano, the property hosts seven prospects, three of which are drill-ready. Historical results include a grab sample of 173 g/t gold, trench results of 8 m at 27.95 g/t gold, and drilling intercepts such as 35 m at 2.08 g/t gold. Multiple zones, including Meriguna, Ballyorlo and Kiovakase, exhibit robust soil anomalies and magnetic highs, underscoring the property’s potential to host a large-scale deposit comparable in setting to the Lihir gold system.

Since 2024, new sampling has confirmed continued high-grade potential, with assays returning up to 19.25 g/t gold and up to 4 percent copper, expanding evidence for a hybrid epithermal-porphyry system. With year-round drilling access and efficient transport via helicopter and boat, Fauro represents a major exploration opportunity with multiple existing gold intercepts and untested porphyry indicators.

Management Team

John Florek – Chief Executive Officer

John Florek has more than 35 years of experience with major and junior mining companies, including BHP, Placer Dome, Barrick, Teck, and Detour Gold/Kirkland Lake Gold/Agnico Eagle. He has identified and advanced significant mining assets from early exploration through development and currently sits on the board of McEwen Mining.

Niger’s military government announced that it intends to put uranium produced by the SOMAÏR mine on the international market.

Head of the junta, General Abdourahamane Tiani, told state television Tele Sahel that “Niger’s legitimate right to dispose of its natural riches to sell them to whoever wants to buy them, under the rules of the market, in complete independence.”

Orano has operated uranium mines in Niger for decades and officially retains a 60 percent stake in SOMAÏR, as well as stakes in the Cominak and Imouraren mines.

However, the company lost operational control of these facilities in December 2024 when the junta intervened, citing expired mining agreements and asserting full sovereignty over national resources.

Orano condemned the latest uranium transfer as illegal, noting that it constitutes a direct breach of a September 2025 ruling by the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).

The tribunal had ordered Niger “not to sell, transfer, or even facilitate the transfer to third parties of uranium produced by SOMAÏR” held in violation of Orano’s rights.

The French company said it learned of the shipment only through media reports and has “no official information on the quantity removed, the shipment’s destination, or the conditions of its transport.”

“This shipment is in breach of the decision handed down in favor of Orano,” the company said, warning that it reserves the right to take “any additional action necessary, including criminal proceedings against third parties, should the material be taken in violation of its offtake entitlement.”

Further, a company statement as reported by Reuters said that “transporting a large quantity of uranium through an unsecured corridor poses significant safety and security risks.”

Since the 2023 coup, Niger has turned away from its former colonial partner, France, accusing it of supporting separatist groups. It has also sought closer ties with Russia, which has previously expressed interest in mining uranium in Niger.

The SOMAÏR mine, along with Cominak and Imouraren, produces a significant share of the uranium supplied to global markets. In 2022, Niger accounted for roughly a quarter of natural uranium used by European nuclear power plants.

Orano said that about 1,500 metric tons of uranium were stockpiled at SOMAÏR before the transfer, with potential buyers speculated to include Turkish, Iranian, and Russian interests.

The group has pursued multiple legal avenues to regain operational control, including arbitration and lawsuits in Niger, arguing that the junta’s interference has harmed the mine’s financial position.

Homerun Energy USA, Inc. (‘Homerun’ or the ‘Company’) a newly formed 100% owned subsidiary of Homerun Resources, Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) is pleased to announce the engagement of Jiri Skopek as Corporate Development Advisor for the strategic development and commercialization of the Company’s Enduring Long Duration Energy Storage System (LDES) integrated with Homerun Energy’s Energy Management System (EMS).

This appointment follows the recently announced Intellectual Property Agreement between Homerun Energy USA, Inc. and the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, operator of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Alignment with the CleanTech Blueprint 2025

Mr. Skopek recently co-authored ‘The Future is Direct: Shift to DC Power Systems,’ a chapter in the CleanTech Blueprint 2025, a global collaboration led by LG NOVA and the Coalition for Innovation. The Blueprint outlines the transition from centralized AC grids toward digital, distributed DC systems, which deliver improved efficiency, reliability, and renewables integration. These insights align directly with Homerun’s commercialization model – combining enduring, sand-based energy storage with AI-managed distributed intelligence for next-generation microgrid applications.

Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun, commented, ‘The engagement of Jiri Skopek comes at a pivotal time as the Enduring LDES advances from development into commercialization. Following our IP Agreement with NREL, Jiri’s experience and leadership will be instrumental in bringing these innovations to multiple global markets.’
