Namib Minerals Announces Expanded Milling Plant at How Mine Operating at Full Capacity, Ahead of Schedule

(NASDAQ: NAMM) Namib Minerals announced that the expanded milling plant at How Mine has been commissioned and is now operating at its full rate of approximately 55,000 tonnes per month. The ramp-up was completed well ahead of the previously disclosed six-to-eight-week timeline and the end-of-December 2026 target. In the company’s first-half 2026 results on October 1, 2026, commissioning was expected in mid-October, with full rate anticipated by the end of December 2026. The plant reached full capacity significantly earlier than planned. CEO Tulani Sikwila credited the How Mine team for delivering the expansion safely and ahead of plan, reflecting continued operational excellence. The expansion increased How Mine’s processing capacity from approximately 40,500 tonnes per month to approximately 55,000 tonnes per month, representing an increase of approximately 36%. The additional capacity is expected to alleviate the milling constraint that has limited How Mine’s throughput and is expected to enable the company to spread its existing cost base across greater production volumes. The strengthened operating platform at How Mine going into Q1 2027 allows the team to focus on maintaining plant performance to support stronger sustainable production and cash generation. The company expects to provide formal 2027 production and cost guidance, including Redwing Mine’s anticipated contribution, in Q1 2027. Namib Minerals is a gold producer, developer, and explorer with operations focused in Zimbabwe. The company currently operates the How Mine, an underground gold mine in Zimbabwe, and aims to restart two assets in Zimbabwe.

Flow Metals Secures Little Gold Creek Headwaters, Completing Strategic Consolidation of Sixtymile Gold District

(CSE:FWM) Flow Metals Corp. has staked 44 additional quartz claims, known as the Mila Claims, along the northern portion of its Sixtymile Gold Project in western Yukon. This staking concludes the company's 2026 land acquisition campaign, consolidating the Sixtymile district into a contiguous 17,635-hectare land package, nearly tripling the original 6,558-hectare footprint. The Mila Claims cover a northwest-trending magnetic lineament that aligns with Little Gold Creek and encapsulates the headwaters of this historic placer gold source. The new claims extend the northern boundary of the project to the Top of the World Highway, providing immediate road access for future exploration. The staking follows the company's recently completed 2026 exploration program, which identified widespread epithermal textures across the project and prompted evaluation of prospective ground to the north. The 2026 exploration program identified multiple epithermal targets, including a newly discovered high-sulphidation alteration zone at Miller Creek and repeating, 20-meter-wide brecciated quartz vein zones with epithermal textures at the Drake claims. The company interprets these observations as evidence of a younger magmatic-hydrothermal event overprinting the district's older, structurally controlled gold system. Flow Metals is integrating historical geophysical datasets with updated structural interpretation to evaluate the magnetic lineament and regional fault architecture, as well as the newly identified epithermal targets. This work includes a 3D review of historical airborne magnetic and CSAMT surveys, with results to be detailed in upcoming news releases. The technical content of the news release has been reviewed and approved by Harley Slade, P.Geo., a director of the company and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Scott Sheldon, President and CEO of Flow Metals, stated that 2026 has been focused on aggressive expansion at Sixtymile, following positive permitting developments in late 2025. The company now holds a district-scale, road-accessible land package spanning from historic placer valleys to the headwaters and the Top of the World Highway. Flow Metals also owns the New Brenda Project in southern British Columbia, a porphyry copper-molybdenum system within the Quesnel Terrane.

Magna Terra Reports Expansion of Property and Extension of Airborne Geophysical Survey at the Prospect Or's Dream Epithermal Gold Project, New Brunswick

(TSXV:MTT) Magna Terra Minerals Inc. announced the expansion of the property size of the Prospect Or's Dream Project, located near the Bathurst Mining Camp of northern New Brunswick. The Prospect Or's Dream Project now comprises 23,887 hectares along a 30+-kilometre extent of the Moose Lake Fault Zone. The property expansion was achieved through staking 7 mineral claims totaling 5,087 hectares along or near the Moose Lake Fault, with no underlying option payments or royalties to vendors. The ongoing airborne geophysical survey at the Project has been expanded from 1,221 line kilometres to 1,302 line kilometres to cover the newly staked claims. The Project is centred on a new gold discovery from 2025, where low-sulphidation epithermal gold-bearing quartz veins were identified over a minimum 7.2-kilometre strike length of the Donner Trend. Initial prospecting generated assays with grades of up to 1.97 g/t gold from rock grab samples, and additional zones of epithermal quartz veins have been identified, leading to further property expansion south and east of the Blitzen Prospect. Pathfinder elements including Ag, As, Sb, Te, and Hg from quartz vein samples are being used to guide exploration efforts. Magna Terra acknowledged partial financial assistance from the Province of New Brunswick under the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program (NBJMAP) for work on the Prospect Or's Dream Project. Lew Lawrick, President and CEO of Magna Terra Minerals Inc., stated that the expansion aligns with the company's strategy of growing high-potential mineral projects through cost-effective acquisition and disciplined exploration. The Prospect Or's Dream Property is centred along a 30 kilometre section of the Moose Lake-Tomogonops-Tozer Fault system, which separates various Ordovician and Cambrian geological groups and hosts several splay faults. All rock samples were processed by ALS Canada Ltd. in Moncton and North Vancouver, using specified analytical methods for gold and multi-element geochemistry. Magna Terra Minerals Inc. is focused on acquiring and advancing high-potential mineral projects in Atlantic Canada and Argentina. The company holds a 100% interest in six discrete precious metals projects covering approximately 79,000 hectares in Santa Cruz, Argentina, available for purchase or option/joint venture. Magna Terra currently has active option agreements on its Great Northern Project in Newfoundland and Luna Roja Project in Santa Cruz, with Gold Hunter Resources and Lunex Metals, respectively. David A. Copeland, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration, is the Qualified Person for the release.

RZOLV Reports 99.9% Silver Extraction from Solar-Panel Concentrate in Bench-Scale Testing

(TSXV:RZL) (OTCQB:RZOLF) (FSE:S711) RZOLV Technologies Inc. announced that it achieved 99.9% silver extraction to solution from solar-panel concentrate material in bench-scale testing, as calculated from independent ALS assays of the feed and final washed residue. Duane Nelson, President and CEO of RZOLV, stated that silver is a key source of value in solar recycling and emphasized the company's goal to recover it as a saleable product through an integrated clean-technology process. The company is currently in discussions with several manufacturers, recyclers, technology providers, and refiners to help build a global circular supply chain for recovering silver from end-of-life solar panels. Electrowinning testwork showed silver recovery from solution of 40.4% within the first 10 minutes, increasing to 99.85% after five hours, based on measured reductions in dissolved silver concentration. Silver extraction to solution of 99.99% after 24 hours was calculated from ALS assays and recorded dry masses. Reagent consumption was calculated at 10%, with approximately 90% expected to remain available for reuse in the next leaching cycle, supporting the development of a closed-circuit recovery platform designed to lower reagent costs and reduce waste. Electrowinning testwork on the pregnant leach solution reduced dissolved silver concentration by 40.4% within the first 10 minutes and 99.85% after five hours, relative to the starting concentration. These results demonstrate near-complete extraction from the tested feed and near-complete depletion of dissolved silver during electrowinning. Final recovery to a refined silver product remains subject to confirmation through product weighing and assaying, reconciliation of the silver mass balance, and accounting for any subsequent refining losses. In crystalline-silicon solar panels, silver is used in the solar cells' electrical contacts, and mechanical recycling can separate the silver-bearing cell material into a fine cell-dust fraction. At a yield of approximately 40 kilograms per tonne of panels, this fraction represents just 4% of the original panel mass, allowing hydrometallurgical treatment to focus on a much smaller processing stream. RZOLV is targeting silver in end-of-life solar panels as a potential revenue stream for recyclers and an additional source of secondary silver supply. The Silver Institute's World Silver Survey 2026 forecasts a sixth consecutive annual deficit in the global silver market in 2026. RZOLV aims to return more metal to productive use and support a circular supply chain for solar materials.
