James Bay Minerals is leading the ressie gains pack today, which is good, because it actually has fresh news
\nArtemis Resources, Prodigy Gold and Olympio Metals are also having fine double-digit days, even if Feb 15 announcements appear thin on the ground<\/p>\n
Here are some of the biggest resources winners in early trade, Thursday February 15.<\/p>\n

Canadian-focused lithium explorer JBY has been cutting a swathe up and to the right through the local bourse this morning on\u2026 actually not so much lithium this time, but yellow-hot uranium. And REEs.<\/p>\n
The hits just keep on coming over in Quebec. Well, the targets<\/em> for potential big hits in this particular instance.<\/p>\n The company reports that a review of aeromagnetic and spectromagnetic survey results across its flagship Joule Property, within the 100%-owned La Grande lithium project in the James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, has generated significant new rare earths and uranium targets.<\/p>\n JBY notes that the \u201cexceptional geophysics results\u201d include elevated equivalent-Thorium (eTh) concentrations of up to 22ppm, typical of significant Rare Earth Element (REE) mineralisation, identified from radiometric surveys.<\/p>\n Additionally, Equivalent-Uranium (eU) readings of up to 29ppm were obtained from radiometric surveys, with significant readings identified in three specific zones the company intends to investigate further.<\/p>\n The La Grande project is located between 50km to 190km east of Radisson in northwest Quebec, Canada. And the Joule prospect \u2013 the project\u2019s top asset, covers an area of 16,385 hectares along the Robert-Bourassa reservoir.<\/p>\n Source: James Bay Minerals<\/p>\n Excited by the prospect for significant and diverse mineralisation at its Joule project, JBY executive director Andrew Dornan exclaimed:<\/p>\n \u201cThis is another fantastic result for the company! While our exploration efforts will remain firmly focused on LCT pegmatites with potential for world-class lithium discoveries, the results obtained from aeromagnetic and spectromagnetic surveys cannot be ignored. \ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span><\/span> Pilbara-focused gold\u2019n\u2019copper\u2019n\u2019lithium explorer Artemis is working its way up again after a down-and-up start to the year. It\u2019s currently +35% for the week, +18% intraday.<\/p>\n Latest news? A West Pilbara lithium exploration update delivered this week, focusing on recent drill core and rock chip sample results.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s stratigraphic diamond holes indicate potential sub vertical orientation of pegmatites at the Kobe and Osborne tenements, with Drill hole #1 potentially stopped short of Osborne target, ARV notes.<\/p>\n Significant mineralisation in the western extension of Osborne has been confirmed, then, with these assay results: Osborne, by the way, is a highly prospective lithium tenement being advanced under a JV with GreenTech Metals (ASX:GRE)<\/strong><\/a>, which has a 51% stake\/control, with ARV the other 49%. GRE is also up today, with a 10% gain at time of writing.<\/p>\n Exploration Update \u2013 Ruth Well & Osborne JV \u2014 GreenTech Metals (@GreenTechMetals) February 12, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n What next for ARV? A maiden RC drilling program to test Osborne targets is planned for March 2024 to test a near surface lithium rich zone where access has now been granted.<\/p>\n Exec direc George Ventouras ventured the following: \u201cThe results from the stratigraphic holes drilled on the Osborne JV tenement have provided valuable information for the technical team to refine and develop further drill programs.<\/p>\n \u201cThe geology has provided clear evidence as to the subterrain and potential location of the pegmatites which will be followed up shortly.<\/p>\n \u201cAdditionally, we are encouraged by the extension to the Osborne trend and look forward to further ground reconnaissance in the same area. With the above and our results from the Mt Marie lithium prospect, we are very excited for the next few months of activity and news flow.\u201d \ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span><\/span> (Up on no news) <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Well, we say no news \u2013 we just mean today, of course. Goldie Prodigy, like just about every other Aussie explorer and miner you can think of is over in Perth, representing at the RIU conference this week.<\/p>\n It may be that more than a few resources companies are up on the buzz surrounding that event alone.<\/p>\n Prodigy, which has a greenfields and brownfields exploration portfolio in the proven multi-million-ounce Tanami gold district of the NT, released an update of its 2024 exploration plans the other day.<\/p>\n This includes, as priority, the continual drilling at the Tanami North project, including Hyperion, Tregony, Boco and Brokenwood deposits.<\/p>\n Prodigy Gold has released its exploration plans for the 2024 field season which includes the continual drilling at the Hyperion, Tregony, Boco and Brokenwood deposits. \u2014 Prodigy Gold (@ProdigyGoldAu) February 12, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n Prodigy Gold MD Mark Edwards confirmed: \u201cThe Prodigy Gold team is currently busy finalising plans for the 2024 field season in the Tanami Region of the Northern Territory.<\/p>\n The proposed work plans centre around follow-up drilling of the successful 2023 campaigns completed at Hyperion and Tregony. Additional drilling is also being planned for the Boco, Mark\u2019s Rise and Brokenwood prospects to increase the understanding of mineralisation in areas away from the currently reported Mineral Resources.\u201d \ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span><\/span> (Up on no news)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Olympio is\u00a0an exploration and and development company focused on gold and lithium commodities at its two 100% owned exploration projects in the Goldfields and East Kimberley regions of WA.<\/p>\n It\u2019s nicely up today \u2013 about 16% at time of tapping keys \u2013 although we\u2019re not entirely sure why as there is no fresh, needle-moving announcement.<\/p>\n Reverting to last major news, then, which was only about 10 days ago, and we can tell you that the company has commenced its maiden diamond drilling program at its Cadillac lithium project in Quebec, Canada.<\/p>\n Priority drill targets at the project include LCT pegmatite Dyke Z, which measures 1.3km long and up to 150m wide, which Olympio believes provides scale for a potentially significant discovery.<\/p>\n The drill program, for up to 3,000m, is planned to test several of the 400+ pegmatite targets across the 190km2 ground coverage at Cadillac, which is strategically located less than 50km from the infrastructure-tastic mining town of Val d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n Olympio\u2019s MD, Sean Delaney, described the project as \u201cunderexplored\u201d, adding:<\/p>\n \u201cCadillac is in a great location with all infrastructure in place serviced by the mining town of Val d\u2019Or, which helps keep our exploration costs down.\u201d<\/p>\n \ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n At Stockhead we tell it like it is.
