(Reuters) – Lithium Americas Corp has delayed plans to excavate its Thacker Pass lithium mine site in Nevada, according to court filings, while a federal judge considers whether the former Trump administration erred in approving the project that opponents say could threaten sage grouse and other wildlife.

The delay is the latest setback for the U.S. critical minerals industry as environmentalists pressure courts and regulators to block mining projects from a slew of companies including ioneer Ltd , Antofagasta Plc , Rio Tinto and others, even if those mines produce metals key to fighting climate change.

Thacker Pass, if completed, would be the largest lithium mine in the United States, producing 30,000 tonnes of lithium annually – enough to make more than 475,000 electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

The court case, though, is likely to push back the company's development timeline and an adverse ruling could seriously imperil it.

Mine opponents have asked a federal judge to rule by next month on whether Vancouver-based Lithium Americas may dig at the northern Nevada site.

The company had intended to start digging at the site on June 23, several months earlier than initially planned.

Opponents requested a temporary injunction to block excavation while the court considers the broader case, which centers on whether the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) erred in approving the project in January less than a week before U.S. President Donald Trump left office.

Thacker Pass has been under review for more than a decade.

Lithium Americas this week agreed to pause digging through late July, according to filings.

SAGE GROUSE

Environmentalists filed the suit after that BLM decision, arguing in part that regulators did not abide by federal statues designed to protect sage grouse. The company and BLM disagree, according to filings.

"These sage grouse protections are the law of the land and we feel we have a strong case with our injunction motion," Roger Flynn, an attorney representing conservation groups, told Reuters.

Chief Judge Miranda Du of the federal court in Reno, who is overseeing the case, has in the past ruled in favor of preserving sage grouse habitats.

If Du grants the injunction, Lithium Americas would not be able to develop the site while she considers the broader question of whether the Trump administration erred in approving the mine. A ruling on that is expected later this year or in 2022.

In a statement, Lithium Americas said it is "confident the BLM's extensive and approved environmental impact statement will withstand judicial scrutiny."

Lithium Americas told the court that blocking the mine would harm national security and impede President Joe Biden's plan to wean the U.S. economy off fossil fuels.

Reuters reported last month that Biden plans to look abroad for most supplies of EV metals, part of a strategy designed to placate environmentalists.

Lithium Americas has an unlikely ally in Glenn Miller, who founded the environmental group Great Basin Resource Watch, which is one of the conservationist groups suing to block the mine.

Miller said he disagrees with the group's opposition to the project and resigned from its board earlier this week.

"Everyone is deeply concerned about climate change. It's a question about values, and I go with the need for lithium," said Miller, a retired professor at the University of Nevada. "This is one of the least-impactive mine plans I've ever seen."

When you buy shares in a company, it's worth keeping in mind the possibility that it could fail, and you could lose your money. But on the bright side, if you buy shares in a high quality company at the right price, you can gain well over 100%. Long term Aurelia Metals Limited (ASX:AMI) shareholders would be well aware of this, since the stock is up 232% in five years. It's also good to see the share price up 11% over the last quarter. But this could be related to the strong market, which is up 7.5% in the last three months.

View our latest analysis for Aurelia Metals

There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.

During the five years of share price growth, Aurelia Metals moved from a loss to profitability. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here.

The graphic below depicts how EPS has changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).

We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Even so, future earnings will be far more important to whether current shareholders make money. This free interactive report on Aurelia Metals' earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.

What About Dividends?

As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. In the case of Aurelia Metals, it has a TSR of 254% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.

A Different Perspective

Aurelia Metals shareholders are down 6.4% for the year (even including dividends), but the market itself is up 33%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 29% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Even so, be aware that Aurelia Metals is showing 3 warning signs in our investment analysis , you should know about…

Aurelia Metals is not the only stock insiders are buying. So take a peek at this free list of growing companies with insider buying.

Under the guidance of CEO Diana Hu, Eastern Platinum Limited (TSE:ELR) has performed reasonably well recently. In light of this performance, CEO compensation will probably not be the main focus for shareholders as they go into the AGM on 17 June 2021. However, some shareholders will still be cautious of paying the CEO excessively.

Check out our latest analysis for Eastern Platinum

Comparing Eastern Platinum Limited's CEO Compensation With the industry

According to our data, Eastern Platinum Limited has a market capitalization of CA$49m, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth US$393k over the year to December 2020. We note that's an increase of 26% above last year. In particular, the salary of US$288.4k, makes up a huge portion of the total compensation being paid to the CEO.

For comparison, other companies in the industry with market capitalizations below CA$242m, reported a median total CEO compensation of US$124k. This suggests that Diana Hu is paid more than the median for the industry.

Speaking on an industry level, nearly 93% of total compensation represents salary, while the remainder of 7% is other remuneration. In Eastern Platinum's case, non-salary compensation represents a greater slice of total remuneration, in comparison to the broader industry. If total compensation veers towards salary, it suggests that the variable portion – which is generally tied to performance, is lower.

A Look at Eastern Platinum Limited's Growth Numbers

Eastern Platinum Limited has seen its earnings per share (EPS) increase by 24% a year over the past three years. It achieved revenue growth of 22% over the last year.

Overall this is a positive result for shareholders, showing that the company has improved in recent years. It's also good to see decent revenue growth in the last year, suggesting the business is healthy and growing. We don't have analyst forecasts, but you could get a better understanding of its growth by checking out this more detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.

Has Eastern Platinum Limited Been A Good Investment?

With a total shareholder return of 13% over three years, Eastern Platinum Limited shareholders would, in general, be reasonably content. But they would probably prefer not to see CEO compensation far in excess of the median.

To Conclude…

Given that the company's overall performance has been reasonable, the CEO remuneration policy might not be shareholders' central point of focus in the upcoming AGM. However, any decision to raise CEO pay might be met with some objections from the shareholders given that the CEO is already paid higher than the industry average.

CEO pay is simply one of the many factors that need to be considered while examining business performance. That's why we did our research, and identified 3 warning signs for Eastern Platinum (of which 1 is a bit concerning!) that you should know about in order to have a holistic understanding of the stock.

Switching gears from Eastern Platinum, if you're hunting for a pristine balance sheet and premium returns, this free list of high return, low debt companies is a great place to look.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Imperial Metals Corporation (the “Company”) (TSX:III) reports expanded high grade mineralization in the newly discovered East Ridge zone.

Results from East Ridge drill hole RC688, located 100 metres east of hole RC684, returned 344 metres of 0.70 g/t gold and 0.75% copper from a depth of 776 metres including 170 metres of 1.1 g/t gold and 1.1% copper.

Brian Kynoch, President of Imperial Metals, said, “This exciting new discovery at the East Ridge is located outside the envelope of the current mineral resource and has the potential to increase the already large mineral resource at Red Chris.”

In the Main Zone, hole RC683 returned 300 metres grading 0.41g/t gold and 0.51% copper from a depth of 260 metres, including 114 metres of 0.67g/t gold and 0.85% copper from a depth of 390 metres, and 22 metres of 1.1 g/t gold and 1.4% copper from a depth of 464 metres. Drilling in the Main Zone continues to confirm the potential to define further zones of higher-grade mineralization.

Red Chris – Significant results:

^ updated intercept or ^^ previously reported.

During the 2nd Quarter, there were up to eight diamond drill rigs in operation and an additional 15,342 metres of drilling was completed in 11 drill holes, with all drill holes intersecting mineralization (except for two dedicated geotechnical holes). Since Newcrest acquired its interest in the joint venture 111 drill holes, for a total of 136,631 metres of drilling, have been completed. The planned exploration program includes approximately 50,000 metres of drilling this year.

The proven Zacks Rank system focuses on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find winning stocks. Nevertheless, we know that our readers all have their own perspectives, so we are always looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong picks.

Considering these trends, value investing is clearly one of the most preferred ways to find strong stocks in any type of market. Value investors use tried-and-true metrics and fundamental analysis to find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

Zacks has developed the innovative Style Scores system to highlight stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will be interested in stocks with great grades in the "Value" category. When paired with a high Zacks Rank, "A" grades in the Value category are among the strongest value stocks on the market today.

ANGLO AMER ADR (NGLOY) is a stock many investors are watching right now. NGLOY is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), as well as a Value grade of A. The stock holds a P/E ratio of 7.05, while its industry has an average P/E of 8.21. Over the past year, NGLOY's Forward P/E has been as high as 12.90 and as low as 5.86, with a median of 8.49.

Another valuation metric that we should highlight is NGLOY's P/B ratio of 2.15. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. This stock's P/B looks attractive against its industry's average P/B of 3.37. Within the past 52 weeks, NGLOY's P/B has been as high as 2.32 and as low as 1, with a median of 1.52.

These figures are just a handful of the metrics value investors tend to look at, but they help show that ANGLO AMER ADR is likely being undervalued right now. Considering this, as well as the strength of its earnings outlook, NGLOY feels like a great value stock at the moment.

Rodeo Drill Location Map

Map of 2021 Rodeo Drill Hole Locations

GOLDEN, Colo., June 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Golden Minerals Company (NYSE American and TSX: AUMN) (“Golden Minerals”, “Golden” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce initial results from its ongoing expansion drill program at its Rodeo open pit gold mine in Durango State, Mexico.

The Company announced in March 2021 it was beginning a program encompassing approximately 2,000 meters of exploration drilling at selected near-surface targets located immediately adjacent to the current open pit, as well as additional near-site surface targets. The program is being conducted to outline possible extension of the life of the Rodeo mine well beyond the currently estimated life of around 2.5 years. To date the exploration program has drilled 606 meters through the first ten holes.

Highlights of the program’s initial results include the following:

RDO_021_009

• 14.65m grading 3.94 g/t Au and 8.0 g/t Ag including

• 9.30m grading 5.38 g/t Au and 9.8 g/t Ag;

• 3.70m grading 7.02 g/t Au and 21.5 g/t Ag including

• 0.90m grading 21.09 g/t Au and 50.4 g/t Ag

RDO_021_003

• 13.75m grading 2.64 g/t Au and 10.5 g/t Ag including

• 1.60m grading 9.17 g/t Au and 18.5 g/t Ag;

• 6.35m grading 1.41 g/t Au and 36.4 g/t Ag including

• 2.70m grading 1.94 g/t Au and 58.5 g/t Ag

RDO_021_010

• 3.80m grading 2.69 g/t Au and 26.0 g/t Ag including

• 2.35m grading 3.31 g/t Au and 32.2 g/t Ag

Warren Rehn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Golden Minerals, commented, “We are pleased with the first results of the near-pit exploration drilling program, as these intercepts indicate that we should be able to expand the currently modelled high-grade zone to the north. The intercept in hole 10 is a newly discovered zone that is open up and down dip and to the northwest. These encouraging results demonstrate that the current pit can likely be expanded with additional drilling which could lead to an increase in the life of mine.”

A photo accompanying this announcement is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/c6d60e47-7231-41b7-b890-8e27b20f4980

Note: Historic drill holes are not shown in the location map. Prior drilling is at about a 25-meter spacing throughout the high-grade mineralized area.

The continuation of the exploration program will include additional near-pit targets, as well as other surface targets within a few hundred meters of the currently planned open pit, with the goal of finding additional high-grade mineralization to extend the life of mine.

Summary assay results are shown as follows:

Note: Estimated true widths range from 70% to 90% of drilled widths depending on dip of the vein and inclination of the hole. Intervals and grades have been rounded to either one or two decimal places.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 10, 2021) – MAX RESOURCE CORP. (TSXV: MXR) (OTC PINK: MXROF) (FSE: M1D2) ("Max" or the "Company") is pleased to report the first assay results from the URU zone, at CESAR North, within the wholly-owned CESAR copper-silver project in North Eastern Colombia (refer to Figures 1 to 4).

Fifteen rock chip channels over widths of 10-metres, along 4-kilometres of strike, returned values greater than over 1% copper, highlight values of 5.7% copper and 14 g/t silver.

Highlights of the URU Zone Assay Results:

• 4.3% copper and 8 g/t silver over widths of 10-metres (876065)

• 3.6% copper and 12 g/t silver over widths of 10-metres (876687)

• 3.0% copper and 6 g/t silver over widths of 10-metres (876685)

• 2.2% copper and 5 g/t silver over widths of 10-metres (876064)

• 2.0% copper and 1 g/t silver over widths of 10-metres (876097)

• 1.9% copper and 1 g/t silver over widths of 10-metres (876072)

• 1.9% copper and 9 g/t silver over widths of 10-metres (876067)

The newly discovered URU zone now spans over 4-kilomtre by 1-kilometre, and open in all directions, lying along the southern portion of the 80-kilometre-long CESAR North copper-silver belt. The URU mineralization is hosted in a stockwork within igneous host rock that crosscuts sediment-hosted stratabound mineralization.

Observed minerals include chalcocite, native copper, cuprite and copper oxides. Epidote is also common and appears to be associated with copper mineralization (refer to Figure 5).

"Max's in-country team has now identified five potential deposits along the CESAR North 80-kilometre zone, demonstrating a continuous trend of copper mineralization," commented Max CEO, Brett Matich.

"The second phase exploration programs have now commenced on the URU and CONEJO zones," he continued.

"World demand for copper continues to increase and is the key metal for the "green revolution's" move to electric vehicles, solar, wind and clean power grid infrastructure. Combined with copper's declining reserve base, exploration for copper to replace depleting reserves is essential. Due to the potential district scale of CESAR, Max is well positioned to take advantage of the copper shortfalls," he concluded.

Max interprets the sediment-hosted stratabound copper-silver mineralization of the Cesar Basin to be analogous to the Kupferschiefer Basin in Poland. The Kupferschiefer deposits, Europe's largest copper source, produced 3MT of copper in 2018 and 40 million ounces of silver in 2019 from an orebody 0.5 to 5.5-metres thick, grading 1.49% copper and 48.6 g/t silver. This silver yield is almost twice the production of the world's second largest silver mine.

Source: World Silver Survey 2020 and Kupferschiefer Deposits & Prospects in SW Poland, September 27, 2019. Max cautions investors that the presence of copper-silver mineralization at Kupferschiefer is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization at CESAR.

CESAR COPPER-SILVER PROJECT IN COLOMBIA – OVERVIEW

CESAR, is located along the 200-kilometre-long Cesar Basin in North Eastern Colombia, has now been demonstrated to contain widespread highly prospective copper-silver mineralization.

This region enjoys major infrastructure as a result of oil & gas and mining operations, including Cerrejon, the largest coal mine in Latin America, jointly owned by global miners BHP Billiton, Xstrata and Anglo American (refer to Figure 2).

Due to the district-scale copper-silver prospectivity of the Cesar Basin, Max has implemented a multi-faceted exploration program for 2021:

Advanced Drill Core Analysis and Modelling: ongoing interpretation of seismic sections and analysis of historical drill holes are all being integrated into our structural modelling of the Cesar Basin, in collaboration with Ingeniería Geológica Universidad Nacional de Colombia ("IGUN") in Medellín (January 7, 2021 NR);

Geochemical and Mineralogical: geochemical and mineralogy research programs by the University of Science and Technology ("AGH") of Krakow, Poland. AGH bring their extensive knowledge of KGHM's world renowned Kupferschiefer sediment-hosted copper-silver deposits in Poland to the CESAR project;

Geophysical: Fathom Geophysics is interpreting seismic data, funded by the Company in collaboration with one of the world's leading copper producer;

Proprietary Field Exploration & Techniques: Max's in-country exploration teams continue to target new copper-silver stratabound mineralized zones;

• CESAR North 80-kilomtre-long-copper-silver zone (refer to Figure 2):

  • In 2020, Max identified the AMS (previously named AM South) and AMN (previously named AM North) stratabound copper-silver zones, collectively spanning over 45-km², with highlight values of 0.1 to 34.4% copper and 5.0 to 305.0 g/t silver over intervals ranging 0.1 to 25.0-metres;

  • In March 2021, the CONEJO discovery, now spanning an area of 3.2-km by 1.6-km and open in all directions. CONEJO returned values above 5.0% copper from 23 rock panels varying from 5.0m by 5.0m to 1.0m by 1.0m, 66 rock panel samples returned values over 1.0% copper (March 24, 2021 NR). Highlight assays above 9% copper and 50 g/t silver:

    • 12.5% copper + 84 g/t silver over 5.0-metre by 5.0-metre

    • 10.5% copper + 50 g/t silver over 3.0-metre by 2.0-metre

    • 10.4% copper + 95 g/t silver over 5.0-metre by 5.0-metre

    • 10.2% copper + 62 g/t silver over 5.0-metre by 5.0-metre

    • 10.0% copper + 80 g/t silver over 5.0-metre by 5.0-metre

    • 8.7% copper + 89 g/t silver over 5.0-metre by 5.0-metre

    • 8.4% copper + 60 g/t silver over 5.0-metre by 5.0-metre

    • 7.9% copper + 21 g/t silver over 5.0-metre by 5.0-metre

    • 7.7% copper + 84 g/t silver over 5.0-metre by 5.0-metre

    • 7.4% copper + 47 g/t silver over 5.0-metre by 5.0-metre

  • Early April 2021, the URU discovery extends over 4-kilometres, and open in all directions, located 30-km south of CONEJO. Although early stage, URU appears to have scalable potential; Sixteen rock chip channel samples returned over 1% copper with assay values up to 5.7 % copper and 14.4 g/t silver including URU results include:

    • 4.3% copper and 8 g/t silver over widths of 10-metres;

    • 3.6% copper and 12 g/t silver over widths of 10-metres;

    • 3.0% copper and 6 g/t silver over widths of 10-metres;

CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 10, 2021 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") has mobilized crews to commence drilling on its 100%-owned Donna Project located 60km east of Vernon, B.C.. Eagle Plains is planning a 5-7 hole, 1,500m (5,000') drill program to test for gold and silver mineralization associated with a prominent gold in soil geochemical anomaly delineated at the Gossan Zone and to complete the first-ever drilling in the area of the historical Morgan mine workings. The current program is a continuation of work which was suspended in early October, 2020 due to early onset of winter conditions.

The Donna Property is road-accessible and located within rocks of the prolific Quesnellia Terrane, host to many major B.C. porphyry deposits such as Highland Valley, Gibraltar, Mount Polley, Mount Milligan, Copper Mountain and others. Despite the rich endowment of mineralization in these rocks, the Donna area has seen relatively little exploration activity by industry or government. Placer gold claims overlie many of the creeks draining the Donna Property. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Donna property.

See Donna Regional Projects Map here

The upcoming drilling program planned by Eagle Plains is designed to provide a test of near-surface, high grade precious metal mineralization and to search for signs of deeply buried porphyry-style mineralization.

See Donna Project Summary Map here

The core claims of the Donna property were acquired in 2016 by Eagle Plains with additional tenures subsequently added through staking. Certain claims comprising the property are subject to an underlying 2% royalty. The project area is located in the Monashee Mountains within the source headwaters of the historic Kettle River and Yeoward Creek placer gold camps. The claims lie within one of the largest clusters of anomalous values in gold and typical associated pathfinder elements identified in the British Columbia Regional Geochemical Surveys stream-sediment program carried out in the joint Federal – Provincial programs from 1985 -1990.

The Donna property is underlain by a sequence of marine sediments comprising carbonaceous black argillite, limestone, and volcanic rocks of Permian to Lower Triassic age. Locally these rocks were intruded by stocks and plugs of mafic-intermediate composition. The project area is considered to hold good potential to host intrusive-related gold mineralization.

Since acquiring the property, Eagle Plains has carried out annual systematic exploration including a 470 line-km geophysical survey in 2017 which followed a comprehensive compilation of all historical work. The property boasts a robust GIS database consisting of rock, soil, silt, till, trench and drill-hole results within and adjacent the property area. In July, 2020, EPL completed the purchase of historical crown grants covering workings documented at the St. Paul and Morgan mines (BCMINFILE 082LSE010), which include shafts, tunnels, winzes and an unknown number of open cuts and trenches, as well as a tramline and stamp mill that operated in the early 1900's. Recorded production from the St. Paul and Morgan deposits for the period 1914-1961 total 392 tonnes containing 5,630 grams of gold, 112,406 grams of silver, 3,720 kilograms of lead and 1,258 kilograms of zinc. Various geological reports and government publications report underground sampling returning values ranging from trace quantities to highs of up to 93.9 g/t (2.74 oz/t) gold and 60.3 g/t (1.76 oz/t) silver over a 0.6m sample width. All historical mine workings are currently inaccessible. The previous results were taken directly from the BCMINFILE descriptions and assessment reports filed with the BCEMPR. Management cautions that historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person, but form a basis for ongoing work at the Donna property.

No historical drilling activity has been reported on the St Paul/Morgan property. As announced on September 3^rd, 2020, Eagle Plains recently completed a 211 line-km airborne magnetometer and radiometric geophysical survey on the property.

Donna project management will be carried out by TerraLogic Exploration Services of Cranbrook, B.C. under the supervision of Jarrod Brown, P.Geo. Drilling activity is expected to take 2-3 weeks to complete.

Feasibility Report to be Supported by Resource Growth Drilling at High-Grade, Near Surface Deposit at PLS

KELOWNA, BC, June 10, 2021 /CNW/ – FISSION URANIUM CORP. ("Fission" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it will commence its Feasibility Study ("FS" or the "Study") for its' 100% owned PLS high-grade uranium project, in the Athabasca Basin region of Saskatchewan, Canada. The feasibility work will kick-off with Phase 1, comprised of extensive data collection using drilling and other fieldwork. The FS follows the results of the Company's Pre-Feasibility Study detailing an underground-only mining scenario, which has outlined the potential for PLS to be one of the lowest operating cost uranium mines in the world. Phase 1 will commence during June 2021 with completion expected by Q2, 2022. Concurrent with Phase 1 field work, a 25-hole core drill program targeting the R840W Zone, will commence by mid-June. The R840W drill program will aim to upgrade the majority of the R840W resource to Indicated category, which then would have the potential to be included in the resource model used for the FS.

Ross McElroy, CEO for Fission, commented, "The commencement of a Feasibility Study is a major milestone for Fission, and also for the emerging uranium district and its local communities in the Western Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada. We have several important advantages heading into the Feasibility stage, including a Pre-Feasibility Study showcasing exceptional potential economics and minimal environmental footprint, extensive environmental data from years of baseline studies, and an unparalleled technical team."

The Feasibility Study will be led by Fission's VP Project Development, Gary Haywood, a professional Mining Engineer with 35 years' experience, including seven years with Cameco as General Manager at the McArthur River and Senior Mine Engineer at the Eagle Point uranium mining operations in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The FS will comprise two Phases: Data collection and assessment (Phase 1) and Design (Phase 2). Phase 2 will use the data collected from Phase 1 to further refine the design of the underground mine, surface infrastructure plans and Tailings Management Facility to be incorporated into the Feasibility Study, and more detailed plans for Phase 2 will be announced in the near future.

For the Phase 1 program, the company has been focussed on optimizing the site surface layout and has made adjustments to the location of the ramp access, waste stockpiles and processing plant – see Map 1 for updated plans.

Phase 1 Activity will Include:

• Ramp Access Assessment

• Vent Shaft Assessment

• Tailings Management Facility "TMF" Assessment

• Metallurgical Assessment

• Infrastructure Foundation Geotechnical Assessment

• Mine Geotechnical Assessment for R780E and R840W Zones

• Mine Hydrogeological Assessment

• Mine Geochemical Assessment

Feasibility Study Drill Program: Extensive drilling (73 holes in 9,945m) will be carried out for the collection of all required geotechnical, hydrogeological, geochemical and metallurgical data. Four drill rigs will be deployed for this purpose.

R840W Drill Program: Additional Drilling Aimed at Increasing Indicated Resource Used in Feasibility Study: Concurrent to the Phase 1 program, Fission is deploying two core drill rigs to carry out Phase 2 of its resource expansion program (25 holes in 5,830m). This will focus on upgrading the majority of the R840W zone from Inferred to Indicated category. This program is expected to be complete by August 2021 and assay results will be disclosed when received.

Resource Indicated Expansion: R840W Zone

• Drilling expected to be completed in Q3, 2021

• 25 infill holes planned (5,830m)

• The R840W zone is located ~500m west of Patterson Lake. It is the 2^nd largest of the mineralized zones after the R780E zone and due to its predominantly Inferred resource categorization, is not included in the prefeasibility resource.

• At a cut-off of 0.25% U₃O₈ the R840W has a resource estimate of:

Infill drilling will result in intersection spacing of ~15m x 20m (horizontal / vertical), between holes, which has the potential to convert the majority of the R840W zone to Indicated category and thus the potential to be included in the feasibility study resource.

The R840W drill program follows the encouraging results of a 20-hole (7,148m) successfully completed during the winter 2021 program, which targeted the conversion of Inferred to Indicated on key sections of the R780W zone.

Lead Engineering Firm. In preparation for Phase 2 of the FS, Fission is in the process of selecting a lead engineering firm and will announce its choice once confirmed.

PLS Mineralized Trend & Triple R Deposit Summary

Uranium mineralization of the Triple R deposit at PLS occurs within the Patterson Lake Conductive Corridor and has been traced by core drilling over ~3.18 km of east-west strike length in five separated mineralized "zones" which collectively make up the Triple R deposit. From west to east, these zones are: R1515W, R840W, R00E, R780E and R1620E. Through successful exploration programs completed to date, Triple R has evolved into a large, near surface, basement hosted, structurally controlled high-grade uranium deposit. The discovery hole was announced on November 05, 2012 with drill hole PLS12-022, from what is now referred to as the R00E zone.

The R1515W, R840W and R00E zones make up the western region of the Triple R deposit and are located on land, where overburden thickness is generally between 55 m to 100 m. R1515W is the western-most of the zones and is drill defined to ~90 m in strike-length, ~68 m across strike and ~220 m vertical and where mineralization remains open in several directions. R840W is located ~515 m to the east along strike of R1515W and has a drill defined strike length of ~430 m. R00E is located ~485 m to the east along strike of R840W and is drill defined to ~115 m in strike length. The R780E zone and R1620E zones make up the eastern region of the Triple R deposit. Both zones are located beneath Patterson Lake where water depth is generally less than six metres and overburden thickness is generally about 50 m. R780E is located ~225 m to the east of R00E and has a drill defined strike length of ~945 m. R1620E is located ~210 m along strike to the east of R780E, and is drill defined to ~185 m in strike length.

The Company completed and filed a prefeasibility "PFS" study on November 07, 2019 titled "Pre-Feasibility Study on the Patterson Lake South Property Using Underground Mining Methods, Northern Saskatchewan, Canada". The report summarizes the Pre-Feasibility Study ("UG PFS"), which outlines an underground-only mining scenario for PLS which to date has only considered the R00E and R780E zones. Further work, including additional drilling may provide sufficient data for future inclusion of the R1515W, R840W and R1620E zones into the Feasibility Study mine plan.

Mineralization along the Patterson Lake Corridor trend remains prospective along strike in both the western and eastern directions. Basement rocks within the mineralized trend are identified primarily as mafic volcanic rocks with varying degrees of alteration. Mineralization is both located within and associated with mafic volcanic intrusives with varying degrees of silicification, metasomatic mineral assemblages and hydrothermal graphite. The graphitic sequences are associated with the PL-3B basement Electro-Magnetic (EM) conductor.

Patterson Lake South Property

The 31,039 hectare PLS project is 100% owned and operated by Fission Uranium Corp. PLS is accessible by road with primary access from all-weather Highway 955, which runs north to the former Cluff Lake mine and passes the nearby NexGen Arrow deposit located 3km to the east and UEX-Areva Shea Creek discoveries located 50km to the north.

The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed on behalf of the company by Ross McElroy, P.Geol., President and CEO for Fission Uranium Corp., a qualified person.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 10, 2021) – ALX Resources Corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received an exploration permit for its 100%-owned Gibbons Creek Uranium Project ("Gibbons Creek", or the "Project"). Gibbons Creek consists of seven mineral claims encompassing 13,864 hectares (34,259 acres), located along the northern margin of the Athabasca Basin immediately west of the community of Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan, in a region hosting multiple uranium occurrences.

2021 Exploration Plan

The Gibbons Creek exploration permit, good to October 2022, allows for a 5,000-metre drilling program in up to 20 holes along with ground-based geophysics, prospecting and geochemical sampling. Access to the Project is year-round, thereby creating a flexibility for either summer or winter exploration programs.

ALX reviewed its extensive archive of geophysical and geochemical data from historical work to identify new target areas at Gibbons Creek. Several geophysical conductors at the Project identified by airborne and ground geophysics have not yet been drill tested. ALX plans to carry out a Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbons ("SGH") soil geochemistry survey over the untested conductors to determine the most prospective areas for drilling. SGH is an analytical method developed by Actlabs of Ancaster, Ontario that is designed to detect subtle geochemical anomalies emanating from a buried source. Work is anticipated to begin in the Third Quarter of 2021 following engagement with First Nations and other local communities.

Uranium Showings in the Northern Athabasca Basin

• Nisto Mine: Located approximately 30 kilometres east from the centre of Gibbons Creek. Mining first occurred at the Nisto Mine in 1950-51. In 1959, Haymac Mines restarted mining and shipped 500 tons of high-graded ore to the Lorado Mill at Uranium City, SK. One shipment of 106 tons of ore graded 1.6% U₃O₈ (Source: Saskatchewan Mineral Deposits Index, Mineral Property #1621).

• Black Lake Uranium Project ("Black Lake"): Located adjacent to Gibbons Creek. Owned 40% by ALX, with UEX Corporation ("UEX") holding a 51.426% interest and Orano Canada Inc. holding an 8.574% interest. Following the discovery of uranium mineralization in 1998 by Uranerz Exploration and Mining, UEX intersected 0.69% U₃O₈ over 4.4 metres in 2004 drill hole BL-18, which led to over a decade of follow-up exploration, including 142 additional drill holes. Multiple mineralized intersections were encountered at Black Lake along a graphitic fault system since the uranium discovery in hole BL-18 (see ALX news release dated July 31, 2017).

• Fond du Lac Uranium Deposit: Located approximately 70 kilometres west of the Project near the south shore of Lake Athabasca. The Fond du Lac uranium deposit was discovered in 1970 by Camok Ltd., a predecessor company of Orano Canada Ltd. after tracing radioactive boulders to their source area and grid drilling. A shallow, historical resource was calculated in 1970 by Camok Ltd. of 990,000 pounds (450,000 kilograms) at an average grade of 0.25% of U₃O₈ but was never advanced further (Source: Saskatchewan Mineral Deposits Index, Mineral Property #1572. This historical resource is not compliant with the standards of National Instrument 43-101, has not been verified by ALX's Qualified Person and is included for information purposes only.)

About Gibbons Creek

The Project is complemented by the infrastructure provided at Stony Rapids, SK, including all-weather Highway 905, a commercial airport, equipment rentals and supplies, as well as readily available accommodation, therefore providing high efficiencies for exploration. Exploration by ALX and its predecessor company Lakeland Resources Ltd. has discovered the following indicators of uranium mineralization:

• Prospecting in 2013 confirmed the presence of high-grade uranium-bearing boulders ranging up to 4.28% U₃O₈;

• Radon surveys in 2015 detected an anomaly approximately 1,200 metres by 500 metres in size with peak radon values ranging between 4.00 picocuries per square metre per second ("pCi/m²/sec") and 10.77 pCi/m²/sec at ten locations, which are among the highest recorded radon values in the Athabasca Basin;

• Historical drill hole GC15-03 intersected 0.13% U₃O₈ over 0.23 metres, within a 1.1 metre interval of 333.8 parts per million uranium, immediately below the sub-Athabasca unconformity;

• Spectroscopic analysis of core samples from ALX's 2015 drilling detected clay alteration products such as illite and sudoite (a unique form of chlorite associated with uranium mineralization) in the sandstone at or near the unconformity, which suggests that hydrothermal alteration has occurred in the vicinity of the drill hole;

• Geophysical conductors defined by a 2017 airborne ZTEM survey remain to be tested; and

• In 2020, ALX carried out surface prospecting on the Star Gold and PGE showing in the northern part of the Project and collected grab samples from outcrop ranging up to 3.58 grams/tonne gold, 122 parts per billion ("ppb") platinum and 412 ppb palladium.

(Bloomberg) — The world’s biggest lithium producer is proceeding with a project to extract more of the battery metal from the brine it pumps up from a Chilean salt flat in a sign of its confidence in the country and global demand.

Albemarle Corp. is introducing a way of extracting more of the lithium that’s normally captured in salts, thereby lifting yields to 80-85% from 50-55%, Chief Executive Officer Kent Masters said in an interview.

The U.S. firm and its biggest rival SQM are expanding in Chile’s giant Salar de Atacama to help meet an expected tripling of demand in an electric-vehicle revolution. At the same time, they’re attempting to limit how much brine they pump and fresh water they use amid growing environmental scrutiny by customers, communities and regulators in a global clean-energy push. The salt flat is in one of the driest places on Earth, where copper mines, communities and tourism also compete for water.

With a budget of less than $200 million, the yield improvement project will take about 18 months to implement and another six months to start hitting sales.

“We’re always looking for ways to maximize our efficiencies at the Salar and at the conversion plants,” Masters said. “This one is actionable, it’s in process, we’re building it today.”

The Charlotte, North Carolina-based company is proceeding with investments in Chile at a time when opposition politicians in the country call for a greater contribution from mining to fund social spending as well as an overhaul of water management and indigenous rights. Ahead of presidential elections in November, Chileans just chose an assembly to write a new constitution that’s comprised mainly of independents and left-wingers.

“The Salar yield is a decision we made now that tells you the confidence we have in Chile as a country,” Masters said. “We’ll know the direction and where things are going before we have to make another big investment decision in Chile.”

Albemarle doesn’t see a big risk for the lithium industry from proposed tax changes in Chile, and is always looking for ways to improve its sustainability “with or without pressure from the government,” he said.

Its Chilean investments are also supported by Albemarle’s upbeat outlook for lithium demand in both the short and long terms, with a recent industry oversupply episode unlikely to be repeated. The company’s looking for additional resources to satisfy demand beyond this decade.

“We feel good, we’re investing to keep up with that growth,” said Masters.

FMC Corporation FMC has received the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration for fluindapyr, a new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide. It provides an extensive range of activity against a wide range of destructive diseases in row and specialty crops besides turf.

This registration marks the first major regulatory approval for fluindapyr. The company has also submitted for registration of this fungicide in multiple regions, including China, the European Union, Brazil and Argentina.

The grant of these registrations will give global access to this fungicide to farmers, to inhibit various fungal diseases in row crops, including rust diseases, and powdery mildew in specialty crops. There is also evidence suggesting that fluindapyr controls pathogens that are resistant to other chemicals.

Additionally, the U.S. golf course superintendents can address destructive turf diseases such as Bipolaris Leaf Spot, Take-All Root Rot, Large Patch, Anthracnose, Fairy Ring and Dollar Spot with FMC's new Kalida fungicide that is effective in the management of turfgrass diseases to achieve outstanding results. Notably, Kalida is a combination of fluindapyr and flutriafol.

FMC stated that fluindapyr is the outcome of 10 years of research and development. The company is optimistic that its offering of high-performance fluindapyr premixture products will provide growers and golf course superintendents with an effective fungicide with superior performance that is also compatible with the best disease management techniques.

FMC fluindapyr brands will enable growers across the world to provide tailored programs, treat a variety of crops and multiple diseases that often attack the crops at the same time, and export their crops freely.

Shares of FMC have grown 15% in a year compared with the industry’s growth of 50.5%. The estimated earnings growth rate for the current year is pegged at 15.7%.

Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (NYSE:SQM) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 17% in the last quarter. On the bright side the share price is up over the last half decade. Unfortunately its return of 100% is below the market return of 127%.

Check out our latest analysis for Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).

Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile's earnings per share are down 2.0% per year, despite strong share price performance over five years.

By glancing at these numbers, we'd posit that the decline in earnings per share is not representative of how the business has changed over the years. Since the change in EPS doesn't seem to correlate with the change in share price, it's worth taking a look at other metrics.

We doubt the modest 0.5% dividend yield is attracting many buyers to the stock. The revenue reduction of 0.2% per year is not a positive. It certainly surprises us that the share price is up, but perhaps a closer examination of the data will yield answers.

The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail).

Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile is well known by investors, and plenty of clever analysts have tried to predict the future profit levels. You can see what analysts are predicting for Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile in this interactive graph of future profit estimates.

What About Dividends?

As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. In the case of Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile, it has a TSR of 128% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. This is largely a result of its dividend payments!

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 87% in the last twelve months. Of course, that includes the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 18% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile that you should be aware of.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Thesis Gold Inc. (TSXV: TAU) (WKN: A2QQ0Y) ("Thesis" or the "Company") is pleased to announce today that its previously-announced overnight marketed offering (the “Offering”) of up to $16,000,000 is fully subscribed for total gross proceeds of $18,400,000, including the 15% agents’ option (the “Agents’ Option”) in respect of the Offering.

The Offering will be for gross proceeds of $10,000,000 for common shares of the Company (the “Non-Flow Through Shares”) at a price of $1.50 per Non-Flow Through Share for the issuance of up to 6,666,666 Non-Flow Through Shares and gross proceeds of $6,000,000 for common shares of the Company which qualify as “flow-through shares” pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Flow-Through Shares”) at a price of $1.75 per Flow-Through Share for the issuance of up to 3,428,571 Flow-Through Shares, for combined aggregate gross proceeds of $16,000,000. The Flow-Through Shares and the Non-Flow-Through Shares are together, the "Offered Shares".

The Offering is being conducted through a syndicate of agents led by Clarus Securities Inc., and including Cormark Securities Inc., and P.I. Financial Corp (the "Agents"). There can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the Offering.

The Company expects to: (i) pay the Agents a cash commission (the "Agents' Fee") representing 6% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering, including any gross proceeds raised upon the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option; and (ii) issue to the Agents non-transferable broker warrants (each, a "Broker Warrant") entitling the Agents to acquire that number of Non-Flow-Through Shares equal to 6% of the total number of Offered Shares sold pursuant to the Offering (including the Agent’s Option). Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Non-Flow-Through Shares at any time for a period of 18 months from the closing date of the Offering at an exercise price equal to the Non-Flow-Through Shares offering price.

The Offering is expected to close on or about June 29, 2021, or such other date as the Company and the Agents may agree. Closing of the Offering is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, such as the approval of applicable securities regulatory authorities and the TSX Venture Exchange.

Forward-looking information also involves known and unknown risks that may cause actual results to differ materially. These risks include, among others, inherent risks in the development of capital intensive mineral projects (including as co-owners); variations in mineral resources and mineral reserves; global demand for lithium; recovery rates and lithium pricing; risks associated with successfully securing adequate financing; changes in project parameters and funding thereof; risks related to the growth of lithium markets and pricing for products thereof; changes in legislation, governmental or community policy; political risk associated with foreign operations; permitting risk, including receipt of new permits and maintenance of existing permits; title and access risk; cost overruns; unpredictable weather and maintenance of natural resources; unanticipated delays; intellectual property risks; currency and interest rate fluctuations; operational risks; health and safety risks; and, general market and industry conditions.
