Cornish Metals Inc - mineral exploration and development company, focused on the South Crofty tin project in Cornwall - Reports results from the first 6 drill holes at the 9,000-metre Carn Brea drill programme in Cornwall. Says that all holes intersected the Wide Formation lode structure, adding that drilling identified a new mineralised structure directly below the Great Flat Lode splay. Chief Executive Officer Richard Williams says: "These results confirm Cornish Metals' model that the Wide Formation represents a new, large-scale, tin-bearing exploration target lying beneath the historically mined Great Flat Lode. The discovery of additional mineralised structures above and below the Wide Formation is a bonus."

Mineral & Financial Investments Ltd - investment company focused on the natural resources sector - Reports net asset value per share as at September 30 of 25.72 pence, up 22% from 20.93p year prior. For the first quarter, or the three months ended September 30, the firm's net asset value was GBP10.0 million, up 28% from GBP7.8 million the previous year. Unaudited operating profit for the quarter was GBP658,000. Mineral & Financial says: "The results were positively impacted by the partial recognition of the value of the Put option on our Redcorp interest as a result of the delivery of the Feasibility Study. This more than offset the correction in the value of several of our investments, including our Luca Mining stake."

Artemis Resources Ltd - Western Australia-focused gold, copper and lithium exploration company - Hails ground reconnaissance programme, which has resulted in a "significant lithium pegmatite discovery" at the Mt Marie lithium prospect. Sampling from tenement E47/1746 delivered a number of positive results, including 1.8% lithium oxide at 23AR01-17, and 1.6% at 23AR01-16. Artemis says that x-ray diffraction has confirmed mineralisation as spodumene. Executive Director George Ventouras says: "These rock chip results are a vote of confidence in the new technical team and the methodologies they've employed to explore for lithium bearing pegmatites on our 100% owned tenements. Importantly for the company and the region, this discovery is further evidence of a potential corridor of lithium mineralisation extending beyond 40 kilometres in the west Pilbara region, where Artemis' tenements are located."
