BPM Minerals Ltd (ASX: BPM) has released a significant exploration update on the Durack REE-Ti-Zr Project, located approximately 110 km south of Wyndham and 100 km northwest of Halls Creek in the Eastern Kimberley (Figure 1). The latest fieldwork has highlighted exceptionally high-grade monazite-hosted rare earths within lithified heavy mineral sandstones, reinforcing Durack as a potentially large-scale, district-wide REE opportunity.

Zeotech Limited (ASX: ZEO) has released the findings of an independent expert peer review examining the performance of its high-reactivity supplementary cementitious material, AusPozz™ (Figure 1), across a comprehensive program of concrete mix trials conducted over 12 months. The review was undertaken by BG&E Pty Ltd, an engineering consultancy with a long-standing reputation across Australia’s infrastructure and structural engineering sectors.

Kaiser Reef Limited (ASX: KAU) has released an operational update outlining the commencement of a substantial drilling program across the Union Hill waste dumps at the Maldon Gold Project in central Victoria (Figure 1). The Project includes multiple historical high-grade underground mines and an operating 200ktpa processing plant at Porcupine Flat.

DevEx Resources Ltd (ASX: DEV) has reported new heap leach column test results that materially enhance the extraction outlook for critical Magnetic Rare Earth Elements (MREEs) from the Kennedy ionic clay-hosted system. The Kennedy Rare Earths Project, located in North Queensland approximately 50km south of Mount Garnet and connected to Townsville’s port and infrastructure corridor, has delivered a significant step forward in its metallurgical understanding.

Proteomics International Laboratories Ltd (ASX: PIQ) has released new performance data from its majority-owned subsidiary, OxiDx Pty Ltd, in collaboration with The University of Western Australia. The findings were presented at the Australian Physiological Society (AuPS) Annual Scientific Meeting in Sydney, Australia, confirming that Thoroughbred racehorses competing without oxidative stress were significantly more likely to perform at higher levels.

Race Oncology Limited (ASX: RAC) has announced the expansion of its clinical strategy with two new programs centred on Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and EGFR-mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). These programs build directly on the newly characterised mechanism of action of (E,E)-bisantrene and position RC220 for accelerated clinical validation across major oncology markets.

Caprice Resources Ltd (ASX: CRS) has released the first batch of assay results from its Phase 4 RC and diamond drilling program at the Island Gold Project (IGP), located between Mt Magnet and Cue in Western Australia’s Murchison Goldfields (Figure 1). Early results have delivered further high-grade intercepts at the Vadrians prospect, extending known gold mineralisation to ~300m vertical depth and demonstrating continuity of the system down plunge.

In this episode of Coffee with Samso, I speak with Oliver Frieson, the CEO and Executive Director of Guardian Metals Resources PLC, about one of the most compelling but under-discussed metals in the global supply chain — tungsten.

OD6 Metals Limited (ASX: OD6) has announced the publication of a peer-reviewed scientific paper detailing three years of advanced geological and geochemical work at the Company’s flagship Splinter Rock Rare Earth Project in Western Australia (Figure 1). The research—undertaken by CSIRO, Murdoch University, Monash University, and OD6—provides a technical, science-backed understanding of how rare earth elements (REE) occur, concentrate, and can be extracted from this large clay
