Caerus Mineral Resources PLC (LSE:CMRS) 12.5p, Mkt Cap £8m – Exploration sampling results from the Kambia-Kapedes project, Cyprus
Conclusion: Encouraging early-stage partial sample results from the Kambia-Kapedes project show gold grades along 175m of strike length. Assays for other elements are awaited.
First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FQM) C$31.2, Mkt cap C$22bn – $1.25bn Kansanshi expansion approved
Conclusion: First Quantum’s investment in Zambia is the biggest single foreign direct investment in the country in a decade, and a meaningful display of confidence in the country’s mining sector. We expect to see more activity in Zambia in the coming years, from explorers to producers, given the highly prospective nature of the Zambian Copper Belt and the large structural deficit forecast in the copper market.
Greatland Gold PLC (AIM:GGP, OTC:GRLGF) 12.9p, Mkt Cap £527m – Exploration grant for the Rudall licence
Conclusion: We await further information on the significance of the Ramses anomaly and the wider Rudall licence area as exploration advances.
