Heavy Minerals CEO Andrew Taplin also discusses the future production of high quality alluvial garnet and the importance of simulating real operational conditions by using water sources directly from Port Gregory.
Power Nickel: Nisk and reward of a polymetallic discovery in Canada
Power Nickel (TSX-V:PNPN)?CEO Terry Lynch started in mining around the same time as industry giants like Eric Sprott, Rob McEwen, Sean Roosen, and Keith Neumeyer.
Graduating in 1981 from St. Francis Xavier University with a joint honour’s degree in Economics and a Bachelor of Business Administration – it’s fair to say the mining stalwart sees the resources sector through a macroeconomic lens.
When Mining.com.au spoke to Lynch – who at the time was 18,500km away in North American island The Bahamas – the Power Nickel story being disclosed was seemingly a familiar one often heard closer to the base of Mining.com.au in Australia.

OD6 Metals: Australia v Brazil in the clay hosted rare earths match
Rare earths can be a confusing topic, with 15 different elements and multiple geological settings. Brazil is a dominant player in the space, but Australia is emerging as a potential global contender with a number of advantages over the Latin American country.
The highly promoted style of rare earth deposit is ionic clay hosted because of the ability to produce rare earths from these types of deposits at a lower cost.
China is the dominant player in ionic clay hosted rare earths space, but Brazil has been in the spotlight lately as an emerging star with Serra Verde claiming the title of the only ionic clay hosted rare earths producing mine outside of China.
Silver more palatable than gold
In the past four years, silver has rallied more than gold, with the gold to silver ratio continuing to be a good indicator of why gold’s poorer cousin is more appealing at the moment.
