London – – September 30, 2026 -- Norge Mining Limited has entered a strategic partnership with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS, part of the $3.4 billion alternative investment group Global Emerging Markets, securing a share subscription facility of up to $125 million that activates only once the company completes a public listing.

GEM commits $125 million facility contingent on Norge Mining's stock market debut

The facility is designed to form part of a broader funding strategy as Norge Mining works to advance both upstream and downstream projects toward Final Investment Decisions. More than $100 million has already been invested in the company's development, covering exploration, resource definition and technical studies, and its upstream Pre-Feasibility Study has now been completed.

Stamford, Conn. – – September 29, 2026 -- Tronox Holdings plc (NYSE: TROX) and JX Advanced Metals Corporation (TYO: 5016) have signed a cooperation and investment agreement to jointly fund approximately $32 million on a 50/50 basis for feasibility studies covering new rare earth processing facilities in Australia and the United States.

Companies commit $32 million to feasibility work across two continents

The funding will support a definitive feasibility study for a proposed rare earth cracking and leaching facility in Western Australia and a pre-feasibility study for a rare earth oxide refinery in the United States, alongside development of a US-based pilot plant capable of producing initial quantities of high-purity rare earth oxides.

Providence – September 28, 2026 -- Alloy Holdings, LLC has completed the acquisitions of privately held GSM Metals, Inc. and Cimini & Associates, Inc., adding precious-metal mill products and advanced electrical materials capacity to its Rhode Island-based manufacturing platform. The deals closed on September 25, 2026, according to the company.

Alloy Holdings adds two Rhode Island manufacturers to its metals and materials portfolio

GSM Metals, based in Cranston, will retain its name and operations, supplying precious-metal mill products for premium and luxury jewelry, commercial, and specialty-material applications. Cimini & Associates, based in Westerly, will operate as C&A Advanced Materials, manufacturing electrical materials and components for grid infrastructure, power generation, and distribution, including high-performance rod materials used in nuclear reactor technology globally.

Toronto – September 28, 2026 -- Jaguar Uranium Corp. (NYSE American: JAGU) will present its four-asset South American exploration portfolio at ROTH Capital Partners' inaugural Emerging Nuclear Technology Conference on October 1, 2026, in New York City.

Jaguar holds uranium, rare earth and copper assets across Argentina and Colombia

The company's portfolio spans brownfield and former mining districts, including the Laguna Salada Project in Chubut Province, Argentina, and the historic Huemul uranium mine in Mendoza Province, previously a producing operation. In Colombia, the Berlin Project in Caldas Province is a district-scale, sedimentary-hosted polymetallic system historically reported to contain uranium alongside rare earth elements, vanadium, nickel, phosphate, molybdenum, rhenium and zinc.

Toronto – September 24, 2026 -- Jaguar Uranium Corp. (NYSE American: JAGU) has reported assay results from historical drill-core resampling at its Berlin Uranium–Rare Earth Project in Colombia's Department of Caldas, with one interval returning 3,570 ppm total rare earth oxides (TREO) and 607 ppm magnet rare earth oxides (MREO), the highest value from the tested selection.

Selected core intervals confirm polymetallic mineralization combining uranium, vanadium and phosphate

The resampling program, first announced March 17, 2026, tested core drilled between 2010 and 2012 during two historical campaigns by U3O8 Corp. Beyond the top-grade interval in drill hole DDB-041 (0.63 m at 170.57–171.20 m depth), additional selected intervals returned 1.53 m at 2,267 ppm TREO and 329 ppm MREO in DDB-003, 1.00 m at 2,176 ppm TREO and 349 ppm MREO in DDB-015, and 0.50 m at 2,532 ppm TREO and 414 ppm MREO in DDB-068.

Montreal – September 22, 2026 -- PMET Resources Inc. has completed a Phase 2 bench-scale testwork program with Koch Technology Solutions (KTS) that demonstrates a simplified, more selective pathway to convert pollucite concentrate from its Shaakichiuwaanaan Project into high-purity caesium chemical products.

KTS process shows high selectivity, bypassing costly impurity-removal stages

The bench-scale program used approximately 6 kg of pollucite concentrate, assaying 12% Cs2O, produced via X-Ray Transmission ore sorting of drill core from the Vega Caesium Zone at the CV13 Pegmatite. Results confirmed the KTS proprietary flowsheet technology achieves high selectivity for caesium with a much-reduced impurity profile, potentially allowing much of the conventional impurity-removal stages to be skipped and lowering recovery costs into a final high-purity product.

New York – September 21, 2026 -- Africa's push for greater control over its resources and a stronger voice in global governance took center stage as business leaders, heads of state, and investors gathered for the fifth edition of Unstoppable Africa, held alongside the 81st UN General Assembly session at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square.

Guterres calls for Africa's permanent UN Security Council seat

UN Secretary-General António Guterres told delegates that Africa needs a permanent presence on the UN Security Council to contribute to global dialogue and action. He urged reforms so the continent's critical minerals generate local value and jobs rather than being exported raw.

Vancouver, BC – September 18, 2026 -- Purecore Metals Inc. (CSE: PURE) (FSE: J8Y) (OTCQB: PPURF) has commenced a comprehensive data compilation and technical review program at the Yurchison Uranium Property in the Athabasca Basin, northern Saskatchewan, a 35,029-hectare asset located approximately 75 kilometres south of Cameco Corporation's Rabbit Lake operation.
