  • FTSE 100 takes a dive as banks weigh; British Gas owner Centrica under pressure - Market Report

    FTSE 100 takes a dive as banks weigh; British Gas owner Centrica under pressure - Market Report
    Jul 25 2024
    London’s FTSE 100 has plunged this morning as a horde of blue chips slid on their second-quarter results, while the backdrop of a continued US tech sell-off lingers. Lloyds Bank shares dropped at the open despite it reporting a solid set of first-half results, with all the other banks following suit and trading lower. Profits at the UK’s largest lender came in slightly ahead of forecasts and the interim dividend was hiked by 15%. Rentokil, the pest management service, was one of the largest fallers after management trimmed profit guidance due to extra investment. Nevertheless, its interim results showed progress in North America, a key area of investor concern after it caused last year's profit warning. British Gas owner Centrica was the FTSE 100’s biggest faller in the early hours of trading after its profits tumbled as gas prices normalise and the effects of the bumper earnings made last year begin to wash through. Stripping those exceptional gains out, profits still halved to £1 billion, from £2.1 billion, but the British Gas owner upped its interim dividend by 13%. Others with results out included Vodafone and BT Group, both of which slipped lower, while Unilever rallied on improved margins despite missing its sales guidance. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #lloyds #rentokill #centrica #britishgas #vodafone #unilever #btgroup #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

  • Carnavale Resources uncovers gold anomalies at Ghan Dam

    Carnavale Resources uncovers gold anomalies at Ghan Dam
    Jul 25 2024
    Carnavale Resources Ltd (ASX:CAV) managing director Humphrey Hale sits down with Jonathan Jackson to discuss a small exploratory aircore drilling program at the Ghan Dam Prospect within the Ora Banda South Project, northwest of Kalgoorlie, WA. The program comprised 14 aircore holes, totalling 800 metres, targeting strike extensions of prior anomalies. All holes achieved target depth, revealing anomalous gold and pathfinder elements at the fresh rock interface. These results align with moderate tellurium and low-level arsenic anomalies, tracking the contacts of felsic porphyries. Hale stated that the program had clarified the relationship between existing gold anomalies and the geology. The mineralisation is associated with the Kurrawang formation, the Carnage shear structure and felsic intrusives. Work at Ora Banda South Project, containing kilometre-scale gold anomalies at the Carnage and Highlander prospects, is aimed at discovering a new gold deposit analogous to the Invincible Gold Mine. Carnavale identified favourable geology with significant shear structures and substantial regolith gold anomalies. Prospective geochemistry suggests an intrusion-related source for the gold system, analogous to Invincible. Further exploration is planned to locate the source of the anomalies within the sedimentary package on the Carnage shear. The main focus for the company remains on the development of the Kookynie Gold Project. #ProactiveInvestors #CarnavaleResources #ASX #goldexploration, #aircoredrilling, #OraBandaSouth, #Kalgoorlie, #goldmineralisation, #geology, #goldanomalies, #explorationprogram, #miningnews, #goldprospects, #drillingresults, #resourceexploration, #golddeposits, #geochemicalanalysis, #mineralisation, #freshrock, #favourablegeology, #goldsystem #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

  • Europacific Metals Advances High-Grade Copper Project in Portugal

    Europacific Metals Advances High-Grade Copper Project in Portugal
    Jul 24 2024
    EuroPacific Metals CEO Karim Rayani joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share promising drill results at the Miguel Vacas project. The latest drilling efforts have targeted a high-grade zone below a previously drilled section. A 350-metre hole intersected a mineralized section of 10.5 meters grading 2.56% Cu, including 5.9 meters grading 4.52% Cu. This high-grade zone lies approximately 80 meters to the NNE of the first hole, which had revealed 22.8 meters grading 2.76% Cu, including 9.0 meters grading 7.49% Cu. The Miguel Vacas mine area, located about 180 kilometers east by road from Lisbon and approximately 70 kilometers east from Évora, the capital of the Alentejo region, shows a mineralized system extending at least 2 kilometers along strike and remains open at depth. The mineralization is hosted in a polymict breccia with a quartz-carbonate matrix and quartz, grey shales, and graphitic phyllite clasts, striking NNE-SSW. The project is progressing with additional holes targeting the northern and southern areas to confirm the oxidative blanket and enable a resource calculation. Rayani emphasized the project's potential, highlighting it as one of the richest copper ventures on the peninsula. Further drilling will provide more data to refine the resource estimates. #proactiveinvestors #europacificmetalsinc #tsxv #otcqb #auccf #miguelvacasmine #CopperProject, #IberianPeninsula, #PortugalMining, #HighGradeCopper, #DrillingResults, #MassiveSulfides, #MiningNews, #ResourceEstimation, #OpenPitMining, #ExplorationSuccess, #MiningIndustry, #NaturalResources, #MetalMining, #InvestmentOpportunities, #KarimRayani, #ProactiveNewsroom, #CopperGrades, #SustainableMining, #MiningUpdates #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

  • Nevada Lithium Launches 2024 Drill Program at Bonnie Claire Project

    Nevada Lithium Launches 2024 Drill Program at Bonnie Claire Project
    Jul 24 2024
    Nevada Lithium CEO Stephen Rentschler joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the commencement of the company's 2024 Drill Program at the Bonnie Claire lithium project in Nevada. This year's program has already seen the completion of one deep core hole and the initiation of a second, focusing on the deep high-grade lithium and boron mineralization identified in the 2023 drill campaign. Rentschler explained that Hole BC2401C, a 450-metre step-out hole, aims to test the extent of mineralization beyond the previously drilled boundaries. Meanwhile, Hole BC2402C, an infill hole, is designed to examine the continuity of mineralization between existing holes BC 2301C and BC 2303C. The primary goals of the 2024 Drill Program are to confirm the continuity of deep, high-grade lithium-boron mineralization, explore the mineralization to the northeast of the current resource zone, and increase confidence in grade continuity between existing drill holes. Success in these areas could result in an upgrade of the resource classification from Inferred to Indicated or Measured. The updated mineral resource estimation is a key component of the ongoing efforts towards an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment, which the company expects to complete by the Fall of 2024. This work is critical in advancing the Bonnie Claire project and providing valuable data to support its economic potential. #proactiveinvestors #nevadalithiumresourcesinc #cse #nvlh #otc #nvlhf #lithium #mining #BonnieClareProject #LithiumMining #Boron #DrillingProgramme #ElectricVehicles #BatteryStorage #ResourceUpdate #MineralExploration #MiningIndustry #USPolitics #EVDemand #LithiumPrices #BatteryDemand #ResourceAssessment #SustainableEnergy #MiningProjects #Fall2024 #EnergyStorage #NaturalResources #MarketOutlook #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

  • Golden Shield Resources Announces Acquisition of Tucano Gold

    Golden Shield Resources Announces Acquisition of Tucano Gold
    Jul 24 2024
    Golden Shield Resources Executive Chairman Leo Hathaway joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a strategic move for the company. Golden Shield Resources has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Tucano Gold to acquire all issued and outstanding securities of Tucano Gold in exchange for securities in Golden Shield Resources. This acquisition positions Golden Shield Resources to benefit from continued exposure to exploration opportunities at Marudi and the potential of Tucano Gold to unlock the value of a near-producing, high-grade gold asset in Brazil. Both Marudi and Tucano Gold are situated in the same geologically rich but poorly understood gold belt, providing the resultant company with significant geological knowledge, operational synergies, and strategic advantages for future discoveries. Tucano Gold's primary asset, Mina Tucano, is an open-pit operation with substantial underground development potential. It is fully equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure capable of processing up to 3.5 million tonnes of ore per year. Currently on care and maintenance, Mina Tucano is scheduled for a production restart in Q4 2024. This acquisition is expected to enhance Golden Shield Resources' operational capabilities and expedite its path to production, thereby delivering significant value to its shareholders. #proactiveinvestors #goldenshieldresourcesinc #cse #gsri #otcqb #gsrff #mining #gold #TucanoGold, #GoldMining, #Acquisition, #MarutiProject, #NorthernBrazil, #GoldDeposits, #MiningExploration, #GoldProduction, #MiningIndustry, #NaturalResources, #Investment, #ResourceDevelopment, #MiningNews, #GoldMarket, #ExecutiveChairman, #MiningOperations, #BrazilMining, #StrategicAcquisition, #ShareholderValue #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
