Pioneer Minerals – Springfield Historic Tailings Deliver 3.27% WO₃ Concentrate with 17.6x Tungsten Upgrade
The tungsten space is on top of my watchlist and this new development by Pioneer Minerals Limited is definitely worth a mention. As a shareholder and a keen advocate of the sector, I am interested to see what this new update will do for the market implication. The interest in the sector is rising so any form of news that may link the company to production of tungsten will be more than an interesting thought.

Pivotal Metals to Drill Belleterre Copper-Nickel-PGM Targets
The Samso News update is all about the commencement of drilling at the Belleterre Project by Pivotal Metals since acquiring the project package in Québec, Canada. As we say, the litmus test is now and a program to test the multiple electromagnetic conductor targets within a district that already hosts high-grade copper, nickel, gold, and platinum-group metal (PGM) mineralisation should be interesting, especially when both gold and copper are hot topics.
