Pulsar Helium has bought 1,360 acres of surface land at its 100%-owned Topaz project in Lake County, Minnesota, from Wolf Lands Inc. for $2.48 million, securing the JS#7 (Jetstream #7) well site and other key infrastructure locations directly above its leased mineral rights. The company now controls surface access over the core discovery area as it tenders for up to four new production wells to complement two production-ready wells, supported by newly enacted Minnesota helium-specific permitting legislation signed on 26 May.

Military Metals’ share price fell as much as 60% to C$0.16 after Slovakia’s Ministry of the Environment revoked its exploration licence for the Trojarova antimony-gold project near Bratislava, which the company says was cancelled “without appropriate justification”. Trojarova, interpreted as a continuation of the historic Pezinok mine, carries a Soviet-era resource of 415,000 tonnes grading 0.162% Sb and 1.148 g/t Au based on underground exploration. The licence had been within Slovakia’s designated exploration areas under the EU critical raw materials framework, raising questions over regulatory risk for antimony supply projects in the region.

Deep Sea Minerals (CSE: SEAS) has applied to uplist to the Nasdaq, which would make it the third seabed exploration company on the exchange alongside The Metals Company (Nasdaq: TMC) and Odyssey Marine Exploration (Nasdaq: OMEX), pushing its share price to a record C$1.79 and valuing it at just over C$80 million. The Vancouver-based firm currently has no active projects but is targeting polymetallic nodule concessions in the 4.5‑million‑sq‑km Clarion–Clipperton Zone (3,500–6,000 m water depth) and the Cook Islands EEZ, where nodules are estimated at 21 billion tonnes and 6.7 billion tonnes respectively. For mining strategists, the move signals another capital-markets vehicle positioning early for potential future access to large-scale subsea nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese resources pending regulatory pathways in the Pacific.
