Apex Critical Metals continues to expand its Rift Rare Earth Project in Nebraska with a standout step-out hole that delivered broad mineralization and a high-grade interval exceeding 4% rare earth oxides. EVP Jonas Lang explains the significance of a newly identified deeper “Neo Zone,” where unusually high neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) enrichment could enhance the project’s long-term economics. With multiple holes pending, an expanding drill program, and a growing mineralized footprint open in all directions, the company is rapidly advancing toward a maiden resource expected in early next year.

Meridian Mining began trading on the London Stock Exchange this month and is targeting inclusion in the FTSE All-Share index at the next rebalancing. CEO Gilbert Clark was interviewed by Mining Stock Daily about the move to the LSE, as well as updates on the company's flagship Cabaçal gold-copper project in Mato Grosso, Brazil. A definitive feasibility study is expected for the project by the end of the year.

NorthIsle Copper and Gold is up over 300% in the past year with a market cap approaching $1 billion thanks to high metal prices, M&A and strong government support. Mining Stock Daily talked to NorthIsle CFO Nicholas Van Dyk about the company's plans to publish an integrated resource update and prefeasibility study this year. 

Following the recent run-up in copper prices, M&A in the sector has surged — Eldorado Gold acquired Foran Mining for C$3.8 billion, while Faraday Copper consolidated its Arizona district by acquiring BHP's San Manuel property and securing C$100 million from both the Lundin Group and BHP — which brings us to , NorthIsle has raised $155 million in the past six months to accelerate development, with CFO Nicholas Van Dyk confirming that infill drilling at Northwest Expo has confirmed grade continuity and extended the deposit, while Red Dog results are expected in Q2, all feeding into an integrated resource update and pre-feasibility study targeted for Q4 2026. With the project included in BC's Critical Minerals Office, strong First Nations support from the Quatsino, Tlatlasikwala, and Kwakiutl nations, and a 2025 PEA showing a $2 billion NPV and 29% IRR at base case prices — rising to $3.8 billion and 45% at February 2025 spot prices — NorthIsle is positioning itself as one of the few large-scale, independent copper developers remaining in the Americas at a time when investible opportunities are increasingly scarce.
