The external fund manager backed by Berkshire Hathaway's Charlie Munger, Li Lu, makes no bones about it when he says 'The biggest investment risk is not the volatility of prices, but whether you will suffer a permanent loss of capital.' It's only natural to consider a company's balance sheet when you examine how risky it is, since debt is often involved when a business collapses. We note that Gem Diamonds Limited (LON:GEMD) does have debt on its balance sheet. But the real question is whether this debt is making the company risky.

When Is Debt A Problem?

Debt and other liabilities become risky for a business when it cannot easily fulfill those obligations, either with free cash flow or by raising capital at an attractive price. Part and parcel of capitalism is the process of 'creative destruction' where failed businesses are mercilessly liquidated by their bankers. However, a more frequent (but still costly) occurrence is where a company must issue shares at bargain-basement prices, permanently diluting shareholders, just to shore up its balance sheet. Of course, plenty of companies use debt to fund growth, without any negative consequences. The first step when considering a company's debt levels is to consider its cash and debt together.

View our latest analysis for Gem Diamonds

How Much Debt Does Gem Diamonds Carry?

The image below, which you can click on for greater detail, shows that Gem Diamonds had debt of US$14.7m at the end of June 2021, a reduction from US$23.6m over a year. But it also has US$33.9m in cash to offset that, meaning it has US$19.2m net cash.

A Look At Gem Diamonds' Liabilities

We can see from the most recent balance sheet that Gem Diamonds had liabilities of US$43.1m falling due within a year, and liabilities of US$112.0m due beyond that. Offsetting these obligations, it had cash of US$33.9m as well as receivables valued at US$6.55m due within 12 months. So its liabilities total US$114.6m more than the combination of its cash and short-term receivables.

This is a mountain of leverage relative to its market capitalization of US$116.4m. Should its lenders demand that it shore up the balance sheet, shareholders would likely face severe dilution. Despite its noteworthy liabilities, Gem Diamonds boasts net cash, so it's fair to say it does not have a heavy debt load!

Even more impressive was the fact that Gem Diamonds grew its EBIT by 406% over twelve months. If maintained that growth will make the debt even more manageable in the years ahead. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine Gem Diamonds's ability to maintain a healthy balance sheet going forward. So if you're focused on the future you can check out this free report showing analyst profit forecasts.

Finally, while the tax-man may adore accounting profits, lenders only accept cold hard cash. Gem Diamonds may have net cash on the balance sheet, but it is still interesting to look at how well the business converts its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to free cash flow, because that will influence both its need for, and its capacity to manage debt. In the last three years, Gem Diamonds created free cash flow amounting to 4.2% of its EBIT, an uninspiring performance. That limp level of cash conversion undermines its ability to manage and pay down debt.

Summing up

Although Gem Diamonds's balance sheet isn't particularly strong, due to the total liabilities, it is clearly positive to see that it has net cash of US$19.2m. And it impressed us with its EBIT growth of 406% over the last year. So we don't have any problem with Gem Diamonds's use of debt. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. However, not all investment risk resides within the balance sheet – far from it. Be aware that Gem Diamonds is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 1 of those shouldn't be ignored…

When all is said and done, sometimes its easier to focus on companies that don't even need debt. Readers can access a list of growth stocks with zero net debt 100% free, right now.

To find a multi-bagger stock, what are the underlying trends we should look for in a business? Firstly, we'll want to see a proven return on capital employed (ROCE) that is increasing, and secondly, an expanding base of capital employed. If you see this, it typically means it's a company with a great business model and plenty of profitable reinvestment opportunities. With that in mind, we've noticed some promising trends at Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC) so let's look a bit deeper.

What is Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)?

Just to clarify if you're unsure, ROCE is a metric for evaluating how much pre-tax income (in percentage terms) a company earns on the capital invested in its business. Analysts use this formula to calculate it for Lynas Rare Earths:

Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets – Current Liabilities)

0.11 = AU$156m ÷ (AU$1.5b – AU$108m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2021).

Thus, Lynas Rare Earths has an ROCE of 11%. On its own, that's a standard return, however it's much better than the 9.5% generated by the Metals and Mining industry.

Check out our latest analysis for Lynas Rare Earths

Above you can see how the current ROCE for Lynas Rare Earths compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past. If you're interested, you can view the analysts predictions in our free report on analyst forecasts for the company.

What Does the ROCE Trend For Lynas Rare Earths Tell Us?

Lynas Rare Earths has recently broken into profitability so their prior investments seem to be paying off. The company was generating losses five years ago, but now it's earning 11% which is a sight for sore eyes. In addition to that, Lynas Rare Earths is employing 103% more capital than previously which is expected of a company that's trying to break into profitability. We like this trend, because it tells us the company has profitable reinvestment opportunities available to it, and if it continues going forward that can lead to a multi-bagger performance.

The Bottom Line

To the delight of most shareholders, Lynas Rare Earths has now broken into profitability. Since the stock has returned a staggering 1,087% to shareholders over the last five years, it looks like investors are recognizing these changes. With that being said, we still think the promising fundamentals mean the company deserves some further due diligence.

One more thing to note, we've identified 1 warning sign with Lynas Rare Earths and understanding this should be part of your investment process.

While Lynas Rare Earths may not currently earn the highest returns, we've compiled a list of companies that currently earn more than 25% return on equity. Check out this free list here.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 5, 2021 / Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSXV:SMD) ("Strategic") announces promising results from a program of geological mapping, prospecting and hand trenching, which was recently completed at its Kluane gold project in southwestern Yukon (Figure 1). The project hosts an extensive system of high-grade gold veins, one of which was trenched in 2021. Highlights from recent trenching at the Rikus Vein include:

20.54 g/t gold over 2.1 m including 40.5 g/t over 0.98 m;
13.84 g/t gold over 2 m including 27.2 g/t gold over 1 m;
8.60 g/t gold over 5 m including 18.6 g/t over 2 m;
7.83 g/t gold over 1.65 m including 20.6 g/t gold over 0.57 m; and
6.48 g/t gold over 2.2 m including 11.25 g/t gold over 1.2 m.

"Hand trenching has now identified attractive drill targets in several locations within this camp-scale property, and follow-up of strong geochemical and geophysical anomalies offers excellent potential for additional discoveries" states Doug Eaton, CEO of Strategic Metals. "We believe that the Kluane project could host the next multi-million ounce deposit in Yukon".

The Kluane project is located 45 km north-northwest of Haines Junction, 29 km west of the Aishihik hydro-electric dam and 10 km from the closest road. It lies within the Traditional Territory of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nation, which have signed a land claim agreement with Yukon and Canada and an exploration benefits agreement with the Company. The project comprises 279 contiguous mineral claims encompassing an area totalling approximately 5550 hectares (55.5 sq. km.).

The Kluane vein system straddles the Kluhini River thrust fault, which juxtaposes Cretaceous and older, schist and paragneiss units of Kluane schist to south with granodiorite and quartz-diorite phases of the Paleocene, Ruby Range batholith to the north. Mineralized veins have been discovered across the entire project area, in both the metamorphic and intrusive rocks. The 2021 hand trenches are located in the southeastern part of the claim block where the veins are discordant to foliation and layering in the metamorphic host rocks (Figures 2 and 3). The trenches and nearby historical drill holes trace the mineralization over a length of 710 m and through a vertical range of 185 m. The following table shows results from the trenches. Historical drilling supports the trench results but the relatively shallow, small diameter holes had poor core recoveries, averaging about 50% in veins. Drill results appear as an insert on Figure 2.

Trench	Length	Au (g/t)

TR-21-02	2.00	1.14
TR-21-03	2.10	20.54
Including	0.98	40.50

TR-21-08	4.00	2.22
Including	1.00	8.36

Mineralized veins contain sulphide minerals and occasionally coarse native gold, in a gangue comprised of milky white, granular to massive quartz and lesser, tan to cream carbonate. The sulphide minerals occur as disseminations and in semi-massive bands. Arsenopyrite is by far the most abundant sulphide mineral but traces of galena, chalcopyrite and pyrite have been noted. Most mineralized veins are scorodite-stained at surface because sulphide minerals are usually wholly or partially oxidized. Mineralized veins rarely outcrop and are usually marked by north-trending recessive topographic linears. Samples of mineralized vein material typically contain greater than 5 g/t gold, with the highest grade rock sample assaying 225 g/t gold (Figure 4).

Soil geochemical sampling has outlined numerous strong anomalies for gold and/or arsenic, some of which form relatively continuous bands that are more than 2000 m long. Several of the soil anomalies coincide with the surface traces of known veins, but many others are unexplained. Peak soil values are 3280 ppb gold and 7350 ppm arsenic (Figures 5 and 6). A horizontal-loop electromagnetic (HLEM) survey that was conducted over part of the property identified a number of conductors, which coincide with known veins and soil geochemical anomalies (Figure 4). Some of these conductors are in areas of deep and/or frozen overburden, which has hampered prospecting and trenching efforts. Property-wide LiDAR imaging has highlighted several recessive linears that have not been systematically prospected or soil sampled (Figure 4).

Age dating and tectonic reconstruction to allow for displacement along the nearby Denali fault suggest that the veins at the Kluane project may belong to the same metallogenic event as the highly-productive orogenic veins of the Juneau gold belt, located to the south in Alaska (Figure 1). Mines in the Juneau belt produced at total of 6.7 million oz of gold prior to 1945 and production continues at the Kensington Mine, which is owned by Coeur Mining. However, magnetic data and strong positive correlations of gold with tungsten and bismuth, suggest that there may also be some over-printing by an intrusion-related hydrothermal system at the Kluane project.

Rock sample preparation and multi-element analyses were carried out at ALS in Whitehorse, YT and North Vancouver, BC, respectively. Each sample was dried, fine crushed to better than 70% passing 2 mm and then a 250 g split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns. The fine fractions were analyzed for gold by fire assay followed by atomic absorption (Au-AA24) and 48 other elements by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ME-MS61). An additional 50 g charge was further analysed for gold by gravimetric analysis (Au-GRA22).

Hastings Technology Metals Limited (ASX:HAS) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. Hastings Technology Metals Limited engages in the exploration and development of rare earth deposits in Australia. The AU$426m market-cap company announced a latest loss of AU$6.3m on 30 June 2021 for its most recent financial year result. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which Hastings Technology Metals will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

View our latest analysis for Hastings Technology Metals

Consensus from 2 of the Australian Metals and Mining analysts is that Hastings Technology Metals is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2022, before generating positive profits of AU$5.5m in 2023. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 2 years from now. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2023? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 68% year-on-year, on average, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

Underlying developments driving Hastings Technology Metals' growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, bear in mind that typically a metal and mining business has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the natural resource mined and stage at which the company is operating. So, a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

One thing we’d like to point out is that Hastings Technology Metals has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning metals and mining company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. The company currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.

QUEBEC CITY, Oct. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stelmine Canada (TSXV: STH) (“Stelmine” or the “Company) is pleased to announce that crews are now mobilizing for diamond drilling at the Company’s 100%-owned Courcy Property in northeastern Quebec to follow up on the discovery of near-surface high-grade gold in “Zone 1” where the last historical drill hole returned 42 metres grading 4.2 g/t Au including 105 g/t over 1.5 metres within a section of 12.3 g/t Au over 13.5 metres. The 42-metre discovery intercept (core interval) started just 12 metres downhole.

The 3,000-metre Phase 1 diamond drilling program at Courcy, scheduled to commence on or about October 5, 2021, will target gold-bearing zones at the core of a folded thrust fault exposing highly deformed and metamorphosed garnet and sulphide-rich iron formations and amphibolites at the hinge point of a broad antiform.

Gold mineralization observed in Zone 1 appears shallow dipping and is associated with a 21-km-long fault zone discovered by Stelmine geologists who followed up SOQUEM’s limited historical work carried out more than a decade ago. SOQUEM drilled just eight shallow holes at Courcy totalling less than 800 metres, all in “Zone 1”, and the last hole returned the very significant 42-metre intercept with the core data reviewed by Stelmine geologists. Over the last 3 years, extensive geological and structural mapping of the area by the Stelmine team has produced a robust geological model for Courcy.

High-Grade Gold 2.4 km South of Discovery Hole

Approximately 2.4 km south of SOQUEM’s 2006 discovery hole, historical channel sampling returned gold values as high as 167 g/t Au over 0.5 metre in one of several prospective zones already outlined at Courcy (“Zone 4”). Extensive exploration of this zone by Stelmine confirms the gold potential with the discovery of new showings.

Courcy lies at the under-explored eastern edge of the 600-km-long Opinaca metasedimentary basin that also hosts Newmont’s Eleonore mine on the western side of the James Bay Territory. Stelmine’s total land package in the Caniapiscau district (Courcy, Mercator plus three other properties) now encompasses more than 800 km^2.These properties feature several geological similarities to Eleonore.

Detroit is seeing some stiff competition these days – and not just from Japan and Korea. The economy is shifting toward green tech, and new automotive companies are popping up to take advantage of the newly opened electric vehicle (EV) and battery playing field. Just as a century and more ago there were scores of auto makers competing to build the best combustion engine cars, and scores of designs in the game, ranging from external combustion steam cars to rotary engine motorcycles, so today the EV field presents a wide open front for new companies to innovate and find the best designs for mass market electrically powered cars.

The trick now, for investors, is to find the companies that look like winners as the EV sector expands, grows, and matures. It may be too early to tell which EV makers are going to hang in for the long haul and dominate the market a century from now – or even if electric cars will still be on the road in the distant future. But the data tools on the TipRanks platform have helped us pick out three companies that look like winners in the near- to mid-term, over the next 12 months. These are companies with low-cost shares to entice investors, and – according to the Wall Street stock experts – the potential to double or more in that time. Here are the details.

EV Stocks Under $10:

REE Automotive (REE)

We’ll start with REE automotive, a unique automotive design company that uses high tech to redesign the critical area of a car – the space between the chassis and the wheel – integrating critical vehicle components such as brakes, steering, and electric drive motors into modular configurations, effectively building the car specifically for its target application and market.

All of that sounds like a mouthful, but what it means is, REE’s design allows for more passenger space and more cargo space on a fully-flat, electrically powered vehicle platform. The design is intended facilitate both production and use of the fully assembled electric vehicles.

Earlier this year, REE announced its intention to go public via a SPAC merger, with the blank check company 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corporation. The move, completed on July 22, saw the REE ticker start on the NASDAQ and brought the company some $288 million in new capital. Since then, the merger has disappointed; REE’s market cap has slipped from $3.1 billion to the current $1.8 billion.

Although the stock has slipped since the SPAC transaction, REE had several notable successes in the first half of the year. The company secured collaborations with four cutting edge, high-tech automotive manufacturers around the world, agreements that will enable REE and its partners to work together on building out new EV and battery technologies. The company also secured vital sections of its supply chain system, in preparation for starting mass production of its flat platform chassis EVs in 2023.

Finally, in a move that shows production and commercialization will be focused in the US, REE on July 23 announced that its US headquarters will be located in Austin, Texas. The Lone Star State has been the epicenter of US job creation recently, and has built a reputation as a business-friendly locale.

Cowen analyst Jeffrey Osborne initiated his coverage of REE with a Buy rating and a $15 price target that suggests a powerful 160% one-year upside.

Backing his stance, Osborne writes, “We are constructive on REE's modular EV chassis approach trimming the time and investment required in building new platforms. Its REEcorner and REEboard aim to serve as building blocks for modular EV production. We are positive on its capability to provide mission-specific vehicles as in our view it opens several doors to optimization, particularly in the commercial vehicle market. REE's flat chassis will enable space optimization, yielding lesser trips via volume maximization… The light and medium commercial vehicle markets are ripe for electrification given their "return to base" operation as well as focus on total cost of ownership (TCO), and we view REE as potentially well-positioned to unlock value.” (To watch Osborne’s track record, click here.)

This newly public stock has 3 positive ratings on file, for a Strong Buy analyst consensus. The shares are priced at $5.77 and their $16.67 average price target is even more bullish than Osborne allows, implying an upside of 189% in the year ahead. (See REE’s stock analysis at TipRanks.)

ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corporation (SOLO)

Next up, ElectraMeccanica, takes a nearly opposite approach to the EV market. This company has put together the Solo, a single-seat, three-wheeled EV designed specifically for the short range urban commute. The Solo features small size, a 100-mile rage, and an 80 mph top speed. This small one-seater has a door on either side of body, or easy ingress/egress, and boot at the rear. The vehicle emphasizes the size and maneuverability needed to fit into tight urban spaces.

The Solo is being marketed to urban residents as a solution for short-distance driving, as well as to rental fleets and delivery companies. In the delivery role, the ‘cargo’ version of the car has an enlarged trunk, and targets ‘last mile’ delivery – a niche for which electric vehicles are well suited. While ElectraMeccanica’s Solo is not yet in production for delivery, the company plans to start shipping to customers by the end of the year – and is now taking reservations on the car, for $250.

ElectraMeccanica is also moving to expand its product line, with two additional all-electric vehicles. Both are styled along more traditional ‘car’ lines than the Solo. The Electric Roadster and sporty Tofino both offer higher performance, in speed and range per charge, than the Solo, and it is reflected in pricing. Where the Solo starts at $18,500, the Roadster is predicted to have a $150,000 price tag when it hits showrooms.

The company is continuing work on its Arizona manufacturing facility, where production vehicles will be assembled and the engineers will have facilities for technical research. When up and running, the facility will fill 235,000 square feet, employ up to 500 people, and turn out 20,000 Solo vehicles annually.

5-star analyst Craig Irwin, of Roth Capital, notes this company’s progress toward full production and delivery, as well as its sound balance sheet. He writes, “Electra Meccanica made healthy progress towards ramping commercial production and deliveries during 2Q21, with first SOLO deliveries now likely later this quarter. Construction of the company's Mesa, AZ facility is making rapid progress, and should drive substantial cost savings that enable the steep deliveries ramp expected in 2023. We expect the $250m cash position to provide adequate funding through facility completion and working capital to support near-term growth. We would be buyers for improving longer-term growth visibility.” (To watch Irwin’s track record, click here.)

These comments back a Buy rating, and the $12.25 price target implies a robust 12-month upside potential of 252%. Irwin’s is the only SOLO review posted during the past 3 months. The stock is currently trading at $3.48 per share. (See ElectraMeccanica’s stock analysis at TipRanks.)

Ideanomics (IDEX)

Let’s wrap up this list with Ideanomics, a company that lives in both the EV battery and the fintech sectors. As a financial tech company, Ideanomics works to make capital available for group purchase discounts on commercial EVs, battery backs, and power usage. Financial services are both powered and secured by AI tech and blockchain encryption.

Even though the EV market is new, companies are ramping it up, buying vehicle fleets and establishing infrastructure. These are activities well within the purview of Ideanomics to incentivize and fund. The company’s stated goals are to increase confidence in the electrification of the vehicle sector, and to provide a transparent and profitable financial service to expand and buy into EVs.

This company’s Mobile Energy Global division, its EV segment, has been moving to expand in recent months. The company has a network of subsidiaries involved in EVs, in charging infrastructure, and in energy production, which it describes all together as ‘the three pillars’ of the EV sector. Ideanomics controls the only electric tractor manufacturer in the US, Solectrac, and its Wave wireless high-power charging network helps maintain the largest fully electric mass transit bus fleet in the US. And, at the end of August, Ideanomics acquired VIA Motors in a 100% stock transaction. Utah-based VIA produces Class 2, 3, 4, and 5 size electric trucks for short-haul and mid-mile delivery runs.

In 2Q21, Ideanomics’ revenue grew sequentially for the sixth quarter in a row, reaching $33.2 million, coming in slightly ahead of the consensus estimate. Gross profit came in at $9.3 million. The company has a full war chest to fund further activities, with $396 million in cash on hand as of June 30.

In coverage of this stock, Roth’s Craig Irwin notes that Ideanomics has multiple paths to profitability, in part due to smart acquisitions. The analyst writes of this company, “Ideanomics reported strong 2Q21 progress with revenue ahead of our estimates. The quarter's results marked first revenue contribution from the US Hybrid and Solectrac acquisitions, supplementing continued strong revenue production at Timeos. The company's WAVE inductive charging business now reports a pipeline of over $100m, suggesting this group could be one of the fastest growing in 2022.”

In line with his comments, Irwin rates the stock as a Buy with a $7 price target to suggest an upside of a hefty 191% from the current share price of $2.40.

Ideanomics is another name going under Wall Street's radar right now and there are currently no other reviews on record. (See Ideanomics’ stock analysis at TipRanks.)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, September 30, 2021–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fancamp Exploration Ltd. ("Fancamp" or the "Corporation") (TSX Venture Exchange: FNC) would like to correct the inaccurate statements in Mr. Peter H. Smith’s September 27, 2021 press release and reiterate the facts from the Corporation’s recent developments.

ScoZinc Transaction Terminated

As announced on September 16, the proposed business combination with ScoZinc Mining Ltd. ("ScoZinc") has been terminated. Instead, Fancamp will become a shareholder of ScoZinc by way of a private placement, which will allow Fancamp to save from paying the termination fee and benefit from ScoZinc’s significant near-term production potential and corporate upside in today’s strong commodity environment. The foregoing is subject to regulatory approval.

Moving Forward with a Refreshed Board and Strategic Plan

Following the annual general meeting ("AGM"), which will take place on Tuesday, October 5, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. ET, Fancamp’s highly experienced Board of Directors (the "Board") will advance the Corporation’s strategic plan focused on exploration properties, titanium technology and strategic alternatives. Additional details regarding exploration program will be announced in the near future.

In light of the recent court decision in favour of Fancamp, shareholders have expressed a clear desire to move forward with this clear and united corporate strategy and take advantage of a unique and strategic project portfolio. The agreement with Mr. Ferron and certain other shareholders confirms this position and aligns the interests of shareholders with the Board and management, and Fancamp looks forward to a bright new future.

Mr. Smith and Others' Unreasonable Attempts to Extort Over $1 Million in Fees

Fancamp remains open to reaching further agreements with Mr. Smith and others for the benefit of all shareholders; however, it will not accommodate unreasonable attempts to extort extravagant fees and excessive costs.

Mr. Smith started this proxy fight to regain control of the Corporation and has indicated he will use Fancamp’s treasury to personally repay himself and others for expenses. The Corporation understands Mr. Smith will seek over $1 million to repay himself and others for the needless and avoidable proxy fight he started. This is not in the interests of all shareholders.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Search Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SMY | OTCQB: SHCMF) (“Search” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that approximately 80 tonnes of bulk sample material is being prepared at our facilities in St. Lewis, NL to be delivered to our testing partner SGS Canada (Lakefield), ON. The bulk sample from our Critical Rare Earth Element District in SE Labrador will consist of 40 tonnes each from our Deep Fox resource and from our Foxtrot resource. The bulk sample will be used to scale up our successful bench scale results using Low Intensity Magnetic Separation (“LIMS”) along with Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation process (“WHIMS”) to produce a Rare Earth Element concentrate for further testing of the Direct Extraction Process. (see Search Minerals news release dated April 12, 2021).

The use of magnetic separation for rare earth ore processing is uniquely suited to our deposits in SE Labrador. The 80 tonnes bulk sample is expected to demonstrate that a continuous process involving crushing, grinding, and magnetic separation (LIMS and WHIMS) can treat large samples of mineralization from Foxtrot and Deep Fox and achieve the potential recoveries and quality of concentrates suggested by the small scale testing.

The magnetic pilot plant testing is the first phase of a four phase sequentially planned program.

The four phases are outlined below with the ultimate goal of producing Neodymium metal. Search is working with our testing and government partners to finalize proposals and potential co-funding for the four-phase program.

PHASE 1 Magnetic Separation (SGS Canada)

80 t of Deep Fox and Foxtrot material
- Stage 1 – the material will be crushed and ground to 270 mesh particle size;
- Stage 2 – the material goes through Low Intensity Magnetic Separation (LIMS), which will capture the highly magnetic magnetite, to produce an enriched iron concentrate, suitable for sale;
- Stage 3 – the remaining material will be processed through a Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation (WHIMS), to produce an enriched REE concentrate to be further processed using our patented Direct Extraction technology (Phase 2). Approximately 21 tonnes of concentrate should be produced;
- Stage 4 – the balance of the material will be stored for future testing for Zirconium and Hafnium recovery and waste characterization for environmental permitting.

PHASE 2 Direct Extraction

21 tonnes of magnetic concentrate, expected from Phase 1, will be processed through a Demonstration Plant operation to produce a concentrated mixed rare earth carbonate containing an expected 0.7 tonnes of REE’s for refining and separation into individual oxides.

PHASE 3 Rare Earth Separation

The mixed rare earth carbonate from Phase 3 will be processed in a solvent extraction pilot plant to produce individual oxides of the magnet making elements Neodymium and Praseodymium.

PHASE 4 Rare Earth Metal Production

A large sample of Neodymium oxide from Phase 3 will be processed to Neodymium metal of suitable quality and quantity to qualify for the production of Neodymium based magnets.

Greg Andrews, President/CEO states: “We are excited to complete our processing flowsheet from mining to magnet making metals as part of our ‘Sprint to Production’. The advantage of including the magnetic separation process is expected to be a smaller footprint for our Direct Extraction processing facility with lower capital and operating costs. The flowsheet also provides for a potential revenue stream for iron concentrate and zircon concentrate. The mining and production of a rare earth concentrate by WHIMS magnetic separation can be set up at each resource and the higher-grade concentrate transported to a centrally located Direct Extraction process plant with access to a deep water port, chemical and reagent supply, technical work force and shipping routes for finished products.”

Dr. David Dreisinger added: “Our physical separation and chemical processing will each produce a dry-stackable waste residue, which is an important design philosophy Search has maintained with the changed flowsheet. The volume of material being treated by our Direct Extraction Process will be reduced by over 70%, which will greatly reduce the size of facility, with an associated reduction in reagents and other operating costs.”

Search is following the COVID protocols which are currently in place within the Province of Newfoundland & Labrador to ensure the safety of our employees and the communities where we work.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2021 / Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXV:CCE)(FSE:D7H0)(OTCWX:CMRZF) (the "Company" or "Commerce") is pleased to announce that it has initiated a mineral processing program to determine the final Prefeasibility Study (PFS) design criteria of the front-end flowsheet for the Ashram Rare Earth and Fluorspar Deposit. The program has been developed in coordination with the Qualified Persons for the Project's PFS flowsheet design and will be carried out at Hazen Research, where the Company's conventional base flowsheet has been developed.

The program is designed to confirm the mineral processing components in order to establish the front-end flowsheet design for the PFS. The design of the downstream hydrometallurgical flowsheet for the PFS is currently being confirmed as part of the ongoing program to produce mixed rare earth carbonate concentrate to satisfy several requests by global processors (see news release dated September 9, 2021). Specifically, the mineral processing program will include,

Incorporation of the advancements to the flotation circuit, made by academic and government institutions, into the Company's base flowsheet developed at Hazen Research.
Final flotation and magnetic separation development testwork to confirm the optimal reagent suite and conditions of the front-end flowsheet.
Phase II comminution variability testing on nine (9) domain composites of drill core collected throughout the deposit.
Front-end flowsheet variability testing on early/mid mine-life deposit material using domain composites.
Filtration testing on flotation concentrate and tailings to determine material handling and tailings management facility design.

Company President, Chris Grove comments, "The Company has significantly advanced the flowsheet's development through focused work in past programs at Hazen Research as well through the numerous optimizations and discoveries from our institutional collaborations, which continue today. As we advance through the later stages of the PFS for Ashram, it is now time to confirm the flowsheet's PFS design criteria which is the next step in advancing the study to completion. Flowsheet development remains an ongoing process through to Feasibility and is commonly refined during operation, and as such, the Company will continue to advance the test work and unlock the considerable potential for optimization that remains in which Hazen and our institutional metallurgical partners have outlined."

Flotation and Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation (WHIMS)
Approximately 5 tonnes of Ashram Deposit bulk sample material, at a grade of 2.0% rare earth oxide (REO), have been crushed and ground to use as feed for the test program. The initial focus of the program will be to incorporate into the base flowsheet the discoveries and advancements made by the academic and government institutional groups, namely CanmetMINING (a branch of Natural Resources Canada – NRCan) and Université Laval, whose test programs have been supported by various provincial and federal grant programs. The successes of these programs include significant reductions in reagent quantities, alternative reagent suites, and improved recoveries in cleaner-stage flotation (see news releases dated May 13, 2020, and December 17, 2019, respectively). Once the flotation component of the flowsheet has been confirmed and the optimal flotation reagent scheme and conditions have been determined, a scale-up will be completed, which may include additional piloting.

Following confirmation of the flotation circuit design, the magnetic separation circuit will be further advanced and optimized. The initial work on the magnetic separation stage (WHIMS) proved extremely successful with a strong upgrading factor at very high stage recoveries (high 80s to mid-high 90s) resulting in the high-grade monazite concentrates (>40% rare earth oxide) comparable to global producers. As such, significant room remains for additional improvement and the test work planned herein for the magnetic separation stage will target further optimization of this circuit including the evaluation of different types of magnetic separator equipment.

Comminution and Variability
The Phase II comminution test work is currently being carried out by SGS Canada on nine (9) rock unit domain composites and will include Bond low energy impact testing (CWi), JK drop-weight testing (DWT), SAG mill comminution testing (SMC), Bond rod mill grindability testing (RWi), Bond ball mill grindability testing (BWi), and Bond abrasion testing (Ai). The Phase II comminution test work will complement the Phase I work completed in 2012 on near-surface drill core intersections (<71 m depth) located in the central areas of the deposit. Comminution data is a critical component of a PFS and is required to determine appropriate equipment sizing, maintenance cycles, and energy requirements at the mill.

As part of the overall program, variability testing will be completed to expand upon previous work, including applying the base case flotation flowsheet to the nine (9) domain composites currently being used for the comminution testwork. The information will complement the comminution data and further constrain equipment sizing and other critical design criteria for the process plant. A specific focus will be placed on material which is expected to comprise the initial years of mine-life.

Variability testing is a critical component of flowsheet development and ensures that the process plant can handle the natural variability of the deposit mineralization. Some of this work has already been completed throughout the test programs over the past few years and include testwork on drill core at different locations within the deposit, as well as bulk sample material from surface outcrop.

Filtration
As part of the overall program, filtration testing will be completed on flotation concentrate and tailings to determine material handling and tailings management facility design. Tests will include static settling, vacuum, and pressure filtration and complement the preliminary filtration testing completed as part of the 2015 flotation pilot plant operation. The data collected will be used to determine the appropriate filtration methods and equipment sizing for operation at the process plant, as well as determine the optimal handling, transport, and storage methods for the concentrate and tailings.

The current flowsheet for the Ashram Rare Earth and Fluorspar Deposit, developed by Hazen Research, uses conventional unit processes to produce a high-grade rare earth mineral (monazite) concentrate that is comparable to active global hard-rock REE producers. Specifically, the Ashram flowsheet utilizes a flotation – HCl leach – magnetic separation process approach to achieve high-grade (>40% REO) monazite concentrates at high recovery, similar in nature to those which are commonly processed globally today.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 27, 2021) – TNR Gold Corp. (TSXV: TNR) ("TNR", "TNR Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to the Company's news release dated July 14, 2021, International Lithium Corp. ("ILC") announced the purchase by Ganfeng Lithium of ILC's remaining 8.58% stake in Litio Minera Argentina S.A., the owner of the Mariana Lithium Project in Salta Province, Argentina. TNR Gold holds a 1.8% net smelter returns ("NSR") royalty on the Mariana Lithium Project.

The news release issued on September 21, 2021 by ILC stated:

"The board of International Lithium Corp. (the "Company" or "ILC") is pleased to announce that it has agreed to the sale of its remaining 8.58% stake in Litio Miñera Argentina S.A. "LMA", the company owning the Mariana lithium salar project in Argentina, and also to sell its other rights in the project, including the right to acquire a further 10% in the Mariana project. The legal entity acquiring is Ganfeng Lithium Netherlands Co., B.V., a subsidiary of the Company's partner Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd."

The news release issued by ILC on July 8, 2021 stated:

"The Company has now received a 300-page report (the "Report") from strategic partner Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd., ("GFL") that contains an updated mineral resource estimate for the Mariana lithium brine project (the "Project") located in Salta, Argentina. This Report was not prepared for public NI43-101 reporting standards, and therefore the Company is unable to disclose it fully. However, in the interests of investor transparency and to avoid selective disclosure, we are disclosing the following details from the Report which have already been disclosed in a news release issued by Ganfeng Lithium on July 6, 2021, and/or in a news release by the Salta Government in Argentina on June 16, 2021.

Highlights from the Report which are already in the public domain are as follows:

The resource estimate contained in the Report, detailed in the table below, includes:

6,854,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate ("Li₂CO₃") equivalent (LCE) in the Measured and Indicated Resource categories, an increase of 55% over the 2019 estimate of 4,410,000 tonnes of Measured and Indicated Resource (Company news release, February 6, 2020)
an additional 1,267,000 tonnes of Li₂CO₃ in the Inferred Resource category
these amounts are also now stated as 7,863,000 tonnes of lithium chloride equivalent in the Measured and Indicated Resource categories, and an additional 1,454,000 tonnes of lithium chloride equivalent in the Inferred Resource category

Ganfeng have reported that an Environmental Impact Report approval has been received from the Salta regional government in Argentina for the construction of a plant with a designed annualized capacity of 20,000 tonnes per annum of lithium chloride.
The Salta regional government has disclosed in a news release following its discussions with Ganfeng that the likely project expenditure from now to bring the Mariana Project to full production is around US$600 million.

Report – Mariana Lithium Brine Project, Argentina

Further to previous Company news releases dated March 8, 2017, April 20, 2017, and February 6, 2020, ILC has received the Report for the Mariana lithium brine project containing an update to the resource estimate for the Project. Golder Associates Consulting Ltd. ("Golder") prepared the Report based on an independent lithium brine resource estimate by Geos Mining Minerals Consultants ("Geos") based in Sydney, Australia.

Resource Category	Aquifer Volume (Mm³)	*Brine Volume (GL)**	Brine Density (g/mL)	Li (mg/L)	K (mg/L)	Li (kt)	LCE^# (kt)	LiCl^# (kt)
Measured	17,653	2,648	1.217	315	9,598	833	4,436	5,089
Indicated	9,286	1,393	1.213	326	10,044	454	2,418	2,774
Inferred	4,747	712	1.211	334	10,121	238	1,267	1,454
Measured + Indicated	26,939	4,041	1.215	319	9,752	1,287	6,854	7,863

* Brine volumes are reported using a conservative aquifer average specific yield (SY) of 15%. Due to the nature of brine deposits, it is not relevant to estimate Mineral Resources to a specific cut-off grade. However, a nominal grade cut-off value of 230 mg/L Li has been applied for reporting purposes only.

^# Based on standard conversion rates, and assumes full extraction and conversion.

LCE = Lithium Carbonate Equivalent; conversion factor 5.324 (Ministry of Energy and Mines, British Columbia, Canada).

LiCl = Lithium Chloride; conversion factor 6.1078

Figures have been rounded. Well efficiency and production efficiency are modifying factors to resources and reserves, respectively.

The Qualified Person who prepared the brine resource estimate in the Report is Llyle Sawyer, MAIG of Geos. The effective date for the estimate is June 4, 2021.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and the Company cannot guarantee that the resources reported here will be converted to mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability."

Kirill Klip, Executive Chairman of the Company, commented, "We are pleased with the great news when it comes to Ganfeng Lithium and the Mariana Lithium Project. I am also very pleased to see that Ganfeng Lithium has consolidated 100% of the Mariana Lithium Project and advanced it to the construction stage. This news comes after a 55% increase in measured and indicated resources following the previously announced 2020 increase of more than 250% in measured and indicated resources from the 2017 resource estimate at Mariana Lithium Project. We extend our congratulations to Ganfeng and salute to people of Argentina on the celebration of 'Pachamama' – the ritual that thanks the earth for all that we receive from it. This ritual was performed at Mariana Lithium in September after successful approval of the Environmental Impact Report by the Salta regional government in Argentina and granted approvals for the construction of a plant with a designed annualized capacity of 20,000 tonnes per annum of lithium chloride.

We are very pleased to see that this new plan represents a 100% increase of previously planned lithium annual production rate presented in the Mariana Project preliminary economic assessment ("PEA"), announced in our news release of January 28, 2019. It was the first PEA on the project and provided a potential value for the total NSR Royalty from Mariana's life of mine cashflow, which has now been very significantly increased.

We welcome the news from the Salta regional government following its discussions with Ganfeng that the likely project expenditure to bring the Mariana Project to full production is approximately US$600 million.

TNR does not have to contribute any capital for the development of Mariana and our NSR Royalty does not depend on the size of ILC's diluted ownership in the Mariana Lithium Project. The 1.8% Mariana NSR Royalty on the entire Mariana Lithium Project is a very important part of TNR Gold's portfolio. The essence of our business model is to have industry leaders like Ganfeng Lithium as operators on the projects that will potentially generate royalty cashflows to contribute significant value for our shareholders."

The ILC press releases and website material appear to be prepared by Qualified Persons and the procedures, methodology and key assumptions disclosed therein are those adopted and consistently applied in the mining industry, but no Qualified Person engaged by TNR has done sufficient work to analyze, interpret, classify or verify ILC's information to determine the current mineral resource or other information referred to in its press releases. Accordingly, the reader is cautioned in placing any reliance on the disclosures therein.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 27, 2021) – Playfair's (TSXV: PLY) (FSE: P1J1) (OTC Pink: PLYFF) NQ core drilling program on its large (201 square kilometers) 100% owned RKV Copper Project in South Central Norway is in progress at the Rødalen high copper MMI anomaly, the first of seven drill targets delineated by Playfair in five areas. Drill Notifications have been made and approved for 38 initial drillholes and up to 122 additional holes dependent on results.

Don Moore, CEO of Playfair, comments, "It's a long and winding road to discovery. After over two years of methodical exploration using modern methods in an almost 400-year-old under-explored mining district Playfair has defined seven high priority drill targets in five areas. We have now started our drill program to test these compelling targets."

In keeping with Playfair's intent to minimise the impact of its exploration on the natural environment Playfair is using a lightweight drilling machine which can be disassembled and hand-carried to the drill sites. Although lightweight the drill is capable of drilling to 150m depth using BQ sized rods (36.5 mm or 1.437 inches core diameter) and to 100m depth using NQ sized rods (47.8mm or 1.872 inches core diameter).

All seven drill targets show compelling coherent MMI Cu anomalies with multiple MMI Cu values greater than 6,000 ppb. The highest value recorded was 53,300 ppb MMI Cu.

A short MMI Report by SGS states that values greater than 6,000 ppb MMI Cu "are likely to be associated with weathering copper sulphides."

The Rødalen drill target is less than 350 metres east of the former Rødalen Mine. The large anomaly is open to the North and extends over an area 300m long by up to 100m wide. The highest MMI copper value is 14,700ppb, 108 times the background value of 136.5 ppb. There is no record of previous exploration in the immediate vicinity of the anomaly.

The Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU) reports:

"The Rødalen deposit was mined in the period between 1750 to 1810, with further exploration until 1918. About 40,000 tonnes of copper-rich ore was produced. The deposit is hosted by quartzite and thin horizons of amphibolite in generally calcareous biotite mica schist of the Gula group. The mineralization is totally covered by waste, but old reports describe the ore as 1-2 m wide ore zones rich in chalcopyrite and zones of massive pyrite and pyrrhotite."

NGU further reports that samples taken from the dump by NGU geologists contained up to 1.81% copper and 0.96 gpt gold.

Overall management and execution of Playfair's RKV drilling program is provided by Ronacher McKenzie Geoscience Inc., an independent consulting group, who, as part of their supervision, will ensure that appropriate quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) protocols are in place. RMG follows the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum's (CIM) Best Practices.

In Norway, Reidar Gaupås, Playfair's representative, has and continues to assist Playfair within the local community and enhance Playfair's profile in Norway.

Promin AS, a Trondheim-based consultancy with extensive experience in the Norwegian Mining industry provides logistical support and experienced geologists. Helge Rushfeldt has greatly assisted in the start-up of the drill program. Kjell Nilsen, one of Norway's most experienced field geologists who discovered Nussir, Norway's largest known copper deposit and Jonas Dombrowski will directly supervise the drilling, core logging and analysis.

Arctic Drilling AS, a Norwegian drilling company based in Kautokeino will carry out the drilling assisted by Canadian drillers familiar with the man portable drill who will train Arctic Drilling personnel in the operation of this drill. The two Canadian drillers are onsite following Covid Quarantine on their initial arrival in Norway.

The drill targets are MMI (Mobile Metal Ion) copper anomalies discovered by sampling target areas generated by Windfall Geotek (TSXV: WIN) (OTCQB: WINKF) using their proprietary Computer Aided Resources Detection System (CARDS).

The seven drill targets were previously described: Storboren (November 07, 2019, and December 05, 2019, News Releases), Sæterfjellet, (January 06, 2021, News Release), Kletten North and Kletten South (January 28, 2021, News Release), Røstvangen Northeast and Røstvangen Southwest (February 17, 2021, News Release) and Rødalen (March 11, 2021, News Release).

A presentation on the drilling plans can be found at this direct link or on Playfair's website.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Search Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SMY | OTCQB: SHCMF) (“Search” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commissioned a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA 2022”) report on the combined Deep Fox/Fox Trot project with a target date of completion of Q1 2022.

The completion of an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimates for Deep Fox and Foxtrot and completion of PEA 2022 are important next steps as the Company accelerates its “Sprint to Production”. The PEA 2022 will also provide our environmental consultants the essential information required to update and submit the new plan for the Environmental Impact Statement. We have been completing some baseline studies this year, which will form part of our submission.

The PEA 2022 will benefit from the following improvements.

1) Increased Material from Deep Fox Resource

PEA 2022 will incorporate the results of the 7000 m drilling program completed at Deep Fox in 2021.
The combination of the Deep Fox and Foxtrot resources will potentially allow for an increase in production rate to 2,000 tonnes per day compared to the 2016 PEA (PEA 2016) on Foxtrot alone.
Assays from Deep Fox have shown higher grades of the key rare earth elements used in the permanent magnet market (Neodymium, Praseodymium, Dysprosium and Terbium) as compared to Foxtrot.

2) Metallurgical Process Optimization

The optimization of the Direct Extraction Process in two pilot plant programs has resulted in increased recoveries on our key elements (Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb).
The introduction of magnetic separation into the mineral processing flowsheet will:

(1) produce an iron ore concentrate by-product,
(2) concentrate the rare earths in 15-27% of the ore mass, resulting in a smaller extraction plant and,
(3) open the possibility of making a zirconium/hafnium by-product.

Produce a mixed rare earth carbonate to supply the separation facility.
New grinding and magnetic beneficiation added to the flowsheet to optimize capital and operating costs.

3) Rare Earth Element Price Increases

Rare earth prices have increased significantly over the past year, and the upward trending price escalations are expected to continue.
Current and future price projections (Adamas Intelligence) will form the basis for the PEA economic analysis.

Greg Andrews, President/CEO stated: “We are focused on delivering PEA 2022. Our exploration and metallurgical teams have made significant advances since PEA 2016 and we are excited to capture these benefits in our new economic evaluation. We are expecting a significant increase in the annual gross revenue, with the potentially increased production rate, higher grades and improved recovery rates from our patented Direct Extraction technology. We continue to optimize our processing flowsheet with magnetic concentration of rare earth minerals providing a reduced feed stream to our Direct Extraction process. As a result of the smaller treatment rate of the concentrate, we are anticipating capital and operating cost reductions with the new flowsheet.”

Andrews added: “Search is well positioned to take advantage of the market focus on critical material supply. The need for rare earth elements for magnet making is expected to increase dramatically, mainly driven by the auto industry movement to electric vehicles using magnetic drives and the increasing pace of renewable energy generation. Search raised $ 2.52M in flow through funds for exploration in Labrador in 2021 along with over $ 2.2M in hard dollar private placements. Additional funds are also being received from the exercise of warrants and options, and support from government grants. The Company is funded to complete our PEA 2022.”

Search is following the COVID protocols which are currently in place within the Province of Newfoundland & Labrador to ensure the safety of our employees and the communities where we work.

Cautionary Statement Regarding “Forward-Looking” Statements:

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 24, 2021) – Great Atlantic Resources (TSXV: GR) (FSE: PH02) has begun the 2021 exploration program at its 100% owned South Quarry Tungsten Property in Newfoundland. The 2,950-hectare South Quarry Tungsten Property in east-central Newfoundland is one of Great Atlantic's 13 mineral assets in resource-rich Atlantic Canada, one of the top mining regions of the world. The program will consist of prospecting and rock/soil geochemical sampling, exploring for tungsten and gold mineralization.

The property hosts high grade tungsten mineralization, exceeding 1% tungsten oxide or WO3, from two quarries. The 2021 program, which is focusing on the central-northern regions of the South Quarry Property, is exploring for new zones of tungsten mineralization in high priority target areas identified by the company during previous exploration programs. These include areas of anomalous tungsten found in both bedrock and soil.

Tungsten bearing pegmatite veins occur in the northern region of the property, one area of current focus, where soil samples from 2015 returned highly anomalous tungsten values of 234 and 402 ppm. The company confirmed high-grade tungsten mineralization (scheelite) in veins in this area during 2015, with high-grade tungsten samples from rubble and bedrock at the South Quarry and an adjacent smaller quarry including:

Eleven quarry rubble grab samples exceeded 5% WO3.
A 20-centimeter long channel sample along a 15-centimeter wide vein returned 2.96% WO3.
A grab sample from a 25-centimeter wide vein in the South Quarry returned 11.94% WO3.

Tungsten mineralization, located during the 2019 program in the new target area, occurs in quartz-dominant veins being exposed in bedrock at a historic trench/stripped area. The highlight was a bedrock grab sample, weighing 1.02 kilograms, which returned 0.871% tungsten or 1.10% WO3.

The property is located within the eastern region Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone, which hosts several recently discovered significant gold discoveries, including those of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSX.MOZ) at the Valentine Gold Project, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Gold Project and New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV.NFG) at the Queensway Project. Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine Gold Project, Moosehead Gold Project, and Queensway Project is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at the South Quarry Property.

The 2021 program will also evaluate certain areas for gold mineralization as the property is underexplored with respect to gold.

Christopher R.
