EEE, looks like sell the news so far.

Nevertheless:

"Empire Metals (OTCQX:EPMLF) reported a maiden JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate at its Pitfield Project, Western Australia, effective 13 Oct 2025.

The MRE totals 2.2 billion tonnes at 5.1% TiO2 (≈113 million tonnes contained TiO2), including a weathered zone of 1.26 billion tonnes at 5.2% TiO2 (≈65.6 million tonnes TiO2) and an Indicated category of 697 million tonnes at 5.3% TiO2 (≈37.2 million tonnes TiO2). Thomas and Cosgrove deposits cover a small portion of a much larger anomaly and extend from surface to ~30–50m, with the deposit open at depth. Processing has produced a 99.25% TiO2 product; engineering, environmental and piloting work is underway toward an FID."

"Silver hit fresh record highs above $53 per ounce on Tuesday before pulling back, as a historic short squeeze and tightening liquidity in London drove traders to scramble for physical supply globally. Lease rates in London soared more than 30% on Friday, pushing rollover costs for short positions to unsustainable levels.

Meanwhile, expectations for another Federal Reserve quarter-point rate cut this month, followed by a likely move in December, continued to support precious metals."

MCap looks too high to me at circa £20 Million.

Morocco being sidelined, Trinidad relatively uninteresting in upside terms.

Expect the SP to drop on that news.

ONS: Wages grow at slowest pace in three years, private sector pay growth slumps to four-year low, and payrolled staff hits two-year low.

Tax rises incoming. Brace for impact.

James,

Hay prices, Yikes!

"English hay prices have rocketed over the last four months, with imported square bales of horse hay from France making up to £5/bale (€5.70/bale).

A combination of scorching weather, abysmal grass growth and collapsed yields from this year’s hay crops have pushed prices in England to record levels.

The latest figures from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) in Britain show a 60% increase in average hay prices compared to last year.

While hay prices averaged £72/t (€82/t) in 2024, this year’s figure is £116/t (€132/t).

However, with the drought continuing in some parts of the English southeast – and hay yields back by as much as 50% - prices are expected to harden further through the back-end of the year."

Times interview former Chinese diplomat:

Starmer lying to the public about the collapse of spy trial.

Former chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, Sir Richard Dearlove, suggests Jonathan Powell may still be within the Chinese sphere of influence:

Former chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, Sir Richard Dearlove:

Links the surrender of the Chagos islands to China via its ally Mauritius, and the proposed Chinese mega-embassy in London, with its mysterious basement of no declared purpose, situated above fibre optic cables serving the city's financial district.

Now, with Gov deliberately collapsing a spy case involving Chinese operatives targeting the British state, one begins to wonder who they are batting for.

JPMorganChase Launches $1.5 Trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative to Boost Critical Industries:

"JPMorganChase today announced the Security and Resiliency Initiative, a $1.5 trillion, 10-year plan to facilitate, finance and invest in industries critical to national economic security and resiliency. As part of this new initiative, JPMorganChase will make direct equity and venture capital investments of up to $10 billion to help select companies primarily in the United States enhance their growth, spur innovation, and accelerate strategic manufacturing.

“It has become painfully clear that the United States has allowed itself to become too reliant on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products and manufacturing – all of which are essential for our national security,” said Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorganChase. “Our security is predicated on the strength and resiliency of America’s economy. America needs more speed and investment. It also needs to remove obstacles that stand in the way: excessive regulations, bureaucratic delay, partisan gridlock and an education system not aligned to the skills we need.”

The firm’s effort comes at a time when the U.S. is looking to modernize infrastructure, fortify supply chains, and implement policies that promote growth."

SEASCAPE ENERGY ASIA PLC - A Subsurface ‘Deep Dive’ into Seascape’s Malaysian Portfolio:

"The Dutch government has seized control of a Chinese-owned microchip maker in a bid to prevent Beijing cutting off semiconductor supplies to Europe.

Officials in the Netherlands invoked emergency powers on Sunday to take charge of Nexperia, a chips business owned by China’s Wingtech. The action was taken to protect “European economic security”.

The Netherlands seized the business under the “Goods Availability Act” to “prevent a situation in which the goods produced by Nexperia would become unavailable in an emergency”.

The move highlights mounting Western concern about reliance on microchip supply chains in China and in Taiwan, which the Chinese Communist Party has signalled it intends to reoccupy."

Rare Earth Stocks Rally as US-China Spat Fuels Supply Fears:

"China and the US were locked in a spat after US President Donald Trump threatened massive tariffs on Chinese goods in response to Beijing’s plans to fortify its export controls. Separately, an Australian newspaper reported potential plans for a broad rare earths deal between Australia and the US.

On Monday, Arafura Rare Earths Ltd., which is developing a rare earths mine in Australia’s Northern Territory, rose as much as 27% to its highest level in more than two years. Lynas Rare Earths Ltd., already a key global producer, climbed as much as 8.5%, Iluka Resources Ltd. added as much as 6.3% and Australian Strategic Materials Ltd. jumped as much as 42%."

"China’s exports rose 8.3% yoy September 2025, topping forecasts of 6% and marking the strongest gain since March, boosted by robust global demand and firms’ push into new markets. Meanwhile, imports surged 7.4%, well above a 1.5% forecast and the fastest growth since April 2024, driven by firm domestic demand ahead of Golden Week holidays and ongoing government-led infrastructure spending."

Baldwin IV defies Saladin - Battle of Montgisard, 1177 - Crusades History:

In 1177, the fragile balance of power in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem was under immense strain. King Baldwin IV, known as the “Leper King,” faced the dual challenges of his debilitating illness and the looming threat of Saladin, the formidable Sultan of Egypt and Syria. Saladin’s rise had unified large swaths of the Muslim world, enabling him to wield armies far larger than what the Crusader states could field. His ambition was clear: to weaken and eventually dismantle the Christian foothold in the Levant.

For Jerusalem, the stakes could not have been higher. The kingdom was a small, vulnerable state dependent on reinforcements from Europe, yet these were often slow to arrive. Baldwin’s forces were stretched thin defending castles, towns, and pilgrimage routes vital to the survival of the Christian presence in the Holy Land. In 1177, tensions reached a breaking point as Saladin prepared to strike deep into Crusader territory. A successful campaign would threaten not only Jerusalem’s security but also the very future of the Christian states in the East. The stage was set for a confrontation where faith, survival, and the fate of the Holy Land itself hung precariously in the balance.
