Greenland Mines has completed its 2026 field season at the Skaergaard project in southeast Greenland, identifying potential vanadium-bearing titanomagnetite, iron and gallium value streams alongside the existing palladium-platinum-gold system. The campaign delivered 4,480 m of HQ diamond core, more than 105 tonnes of bulk material from mapped and channel-sampled mineralised horizons, and Skaergaard now hosts 153.6 million indicated tonnes grading 1.53 g/t palladium, 0.65 g/t gold and 0.12 g/t platinum under S-K 1300. First mining-oriented geotechnical work, high-resolution terrain and geophysical datasets, and baseline environmental studies move the project towards metallurgical flowsheet and infrastructure design.

Grid Metals has defined an initial measured resource at the Lucy South deposit on its Falcon West property in Manitoba, totalling 51,500 tonnes at 2.58% Cs₂O and 1.47% Li₂O, including a 15,600‑tonne pollucite zone grading 5.19% Cs₂O and 1.76% Li₂O that ranks as the second-largest Western-developed cesium resource. The shallow deposit, averaging about 20 m depth and amenable to conventional open-pit mining, lies 130 km east of Winnipeg and just 0.5 km north of the Trans‑Canada Highway, with nearby rail and hydro power. Grid owns 85% of the Falcon joint venture with Agnico Eagle’s Avenir Minerals, and further winter drilling is planned to test extensions and support a potential processing plant case.

Mountain Province Diamonds will transfer its 49% stake in the Gahcho Kué open-pit diamond mine in Canada’s Northwest Territories to joint-venture partner De Beers, which will assume Mountain Province’s decommissioning, reclamation and environmental clean-up liabilities plus other debts owed to De Beers. Noteholders and lender Dunebridge have granted a six‑month standstill on interest, principal and certain enforcement rights, giving the company time to restructure its balance sheet and seek new funding. The move lands as Petra Diamonds simultaneously launches a strategic review that could include a sale, signalling deepening balance-sheet stress across the natural diamond sector amid competition from lab-grown stones.
