MGC Pharma is aiming to hit a series of new highs in 2018 with a number of medicinal and cosmetic cannabis products hitting the shelves in the new year as the company shifts into production phase. The Perth-listed company is moving into the final countdown on the launchpad to the release of its first medical marijuana product to designed treat severe cases of epilepsy.

MGC Pharmaceuticals’ manufacturing facility in Slovenia will now commence production of pharmaceutical grade cannabis derived medicines after receiving a manufacturing licence. The Brett Mitchell chaired company will now begin full scale manufacturing of its epilepsy drug CannEpil for final, independent validation before exportation into Australasia and Europe. CannEpil is already approved for use in Australia.

TNT Mines has just picked up a swathe of new uranium-vanadium mineral claims in the US and the market has been all over it with TNT’s stock jumping more than fivefold in the last two weeks, reaching highs of 22c from a low of 4c. The market meerkats are on high alert right now for anything that has a whiff of uranium.

TNT Mines has been quick to get an early exploration team into the field at its promising new East Canyon uranium-vanadium project in the USA. The East Canyon project is situated in the Dry Valley, East Canyon District in Utah where the USA’s only operating conventional uranium mill resides. TNT’s share price has quadrupled since the start of last month in anticipation of a successful field season.

TNT Mines has now completed the transaction to acquire its new East Canyon uranium-vanadium project in the USA. The company’s new asset comprises 200 patented lode claims in the Dry Valley\East Canyon District in Utah, which is one of the USA’s most significant uranium-vanadium mineral belts that has seen over 100 years of mining history.

TNT Mines has delivered a set of smoking hot uranium samples to its assay lab in the USA where they were rejected due to their uber-high levels of radioactivity – a nice problem to have for a uranium explorer. The samples will now be assayed at an alternative lab in Canada that is better equipped to handle them.

TNT Mines’ Bonanza prospect in the United States is turning out to be just that – a bonanza. It has delivered a smorgasbord of high-grade uranium and vanadium results from underground sampling including 1.25 metres at 2,600 ppm uranium oxide and 1.68 per cent vanadium pentoxide with a series of ‘too hot to handle’ samples yet to be reported by the new lab after being rejected by the first one.

TNT Mines has expanded its strategic uraniferous ground holdings in Utah, pegging the southern strike extensions of its historic high-grade ‘None Such’ and ‘Bonanza’ mines at East Canyon. The tactical move comes on the back of recent sampling in the old underground workings that has returned a plethora of high-grade results and highlighted the untapped potential of the Uravan mineral field.

TNT Mines has released a string of high-grade uranium results from its East Canyon project in Utah. These results are the balance of the company’s recent underground sampling program in the northern project area and have returned assays grading up to an impressive 12,700 ppm uranium oxide and 4.53 per cent vanadium pentoxide with follow up drilling now being planned across the prospect area.

TNT Mines has exploded onto the gold scene in Western Australia acquiring privateer Warriedar Mining along with its two strategic goldfields projects and its well-credentialed chairman, Alex Hewlett. Hewlett shot to fame on the back of his recent success with Spectrum Metals.

ASX-listed gold explorer, TNT Mines, has wasted no time in getting the drill rods turning at its newly acquired historic Eureka gold project about 50km north of Kalgoorlie. Eureka currently hosts an indicated and inferred mineral resource of 762,000 tonnes grading 1.8 grams per tonne for 43,100 ounces of contained gold based on previous drilling.

Javelin Minerals has revealed two significant board moves, adding well-known corporate finance executive Brett Mitchell and experienced geologist Pedro Kastellorizos as it prepares for more drilling in New South Wales. The company says Mitchell, who has more than 25 years of experience in the equity and venture capital markets, will take the reins as executive chairman. Kastellorizos will be a non-executive director.

Javelin Minerals has identified a large uranium target at its Stakeyard Well prospect that forms part of its larger Mt Ida operation in WA following a comprehensive data review of all its existing projects. Management says the review highlighted a strong anomaly that extends across a package of ground 28km in length by an average 3.3km width where historical air-core drilling revealed positive uranium results.

Javelin Minerals has identified a host of copper-gold exploration targets at its Coogee project in the St Ives goldfield in Western Australia after independent and collaborative reviews of reprocessed geophysical and other data. Recently-defined drill sites include a gold-copper target indicated by a high-intensity magnetic anomaly 300m north of the Coogee open pit and potentially down-dip from the company’s Coogee North mineralisation.

Javelin Minerals has increased the JORC resource estimate for its Coogee gold-copper project near Kambalda in WA by 158 per cent to 3.65 million tonnes at 1.08g/t gold and 1.01 million tonnes at 0.41 per cent copper. The significant upgrade relates to a revised gold content of 126,685 ounces and was determined from an independent review of historic estimates, assumptions and drilling.

Javelin Minerals’ reinterpretation of data from its Coogee project in Western Australia’s Goldfields region has thrown up a tantalising exploration theory that it is now primed to test with the drill bit. The company plans to determine if a magnetic anomaly lurking just 300m from an old open pit at the site is a potential repetition of the historic lode.

Javelin Minerals has picked up the historic Eureka open pit north of Kalgoorlie where it is seeking to prove up a theory that more golden riches may be lurking nearby. The move follows the spectacular success of Spectrum Metals and Spartan Resources. Both found multi-million dollar gold deposits about 300m north of their mothballed open pits and Javelin already has some intriguing drill holes about 300m north of Eureka suggesting there is more gold out there.

Javelin Minerals has intensified its focus on the company’s two flagship Kalgoorlie gold projects by placing a for sale sign on its Bonaparte copper-silver-lead-zinc project in WA’s Kimberley. The strategic doubling down on gold by the company follows its recent acquisition of the Eureka gold project north of Kalgoorlie, which adds to its Coogee gold project near Kambalda, both of which have historic pits that Javelin believes are harbouring more gold.

Javelin Minerals has wasted no time working up multiple drill-ready targets at its newly acquired Eureka gold project near Kalgoorlie. The project was purchased in October for $3 million in cash and shares and comes with an historic open pit and a 112,000-ounce gold resource grading 1.42 grams a tonne, valuing the deal at less than $30 per discovery ounce.

Javelin Minerals has kicked off maiden drilling at its brownfields Coogee gold-copper project near Kambalda where it is looking to drill test a curious magnetic anomaly discovered near an old open pit. The drilling contractor, Topdrill, will accept shares in Javelin instead of cash for its drilling work that involves a two-phase reverse circulation program.

Javelin Minerals has slotted the next golden arrow into its quiver with the completion of its much-heralded acquisition of the brownfields Eureka gold project, 54km northwest of Kalgoorlie. Eureka’s current mineral resource estimate remains at 2.45 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.42g/t gold for a total of 112,000 ounces of gold, as announced in June 2021.

Javelin Minerals has completed 2921m of a phase one maiden drilling program at its Coogee copper-gold project near Kambalda in Western Australia, with phase two slated to kick off early in the New Year. The 18-hole reverse circulation program recovered 1698 samples sent for assay and identified a copper-gold mineralised trend extending from about 270m south of the southern open pit rim to about 450m north of the northern rim.
