80 Mile PLC has secured all exploration permits and a definitive earn-in agreement with USFM to start a 5,000‑metre diamond drilling campaign in early July at the Disko-Nuussuaq nickel‑copper‑cobalt‑PGE project in West Greenland. USFM will spend an initial $30 million to earn up to 51% of Disko, with a $7.5 million budget allocated to the first drill phase, leaving 80 Mile free carried for its remaining 49%. SRK Exploration will act as Geological Manager and Forage Fusion Drilling will supply two diamond rigs for the first systematic drilling on the target, which is considered analogous to Norilsk‑Talnakh nickel/copper sulphide mineralisation.

JCHX has broken ground on a new underground high-end intelligent heavy mining equipment factory for its King Ant product line in the Daye Lake High-Tech Zone, Huangshi City, Hubei Province, expanding domestic capacity for loaders, trucks and other mechanised mining fleets. The facility, led by subsidiary JCHX (Hubei) Intelligent Equipment Co Ltd, will focus on intelligent, battery-electric and automation-ready machines tailored to Chinese hard-rock mines. For contractors and mine owners, the project signals stronger local supply options for advanced underground fleets and reduced reliance on imported OEMs.
