It's fair to say DOID know all about the Indonesian mining scene, and they haven't pumped millions into this project for no return!

Are you an expert on African banks and how they operate wee lad?

Simon lad perhaps amuse yourself by looking at some satellite images of your expensive Antelope pasture ROFLMFAO

I'm fantastic. I was just thinking that Brewer is spinning too many plates. There's spinning too many plates then there's Brewer the Truck...who has take plate spinning to new levels, IMHO!

Basically a meeting was held a few weeks back at the Central Kalimantan Provincial Forestry Service Office.

Now I believe the outstanding part of the permit is to do with the forestry access roads so putting two and two together ! All imho please DYOR!

I'll copy the headline as the translation of full article may not be accurate. Furthermore, this is publicly available information, i say this as I've been accused if being an insider, whatever that is!:

Discussion of Technical Considerations for the Governor's Recommendation Application Area by PT Kalimantan Surya Kencana

To be fair geophysics is expensive. 13 years ago Freeport/Asiamet JV spent one million dollars on a survey, with a plane special plane flown from Aberdeen to Kalimantan!

I can't get my head around the lack of comms, even just a general business update!

Waiting for Brewer to work his magic

Haven't read anything about this met breakthrough with advanced chemistry, but straight off the bat makes me go hmmmmmmm.....let's see if it actually works on a large scale when mining! All imho!

Now that is extremely interesting!! Nick said Kalaba was what was it uneconomic or something if I recall !!

Is it the Kalaba deposit they're developing? Found this on yahoo !

CHARLOTTE, N.C. and LUSAKA, Zambia, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Metals Inc., in partnership with its Zambian subsidiary Lunda Resources Ltd., is proud to announce a major metallurgical breakthrough at the Kalaba Copper Project in Northwestern Zambia. Independent testing conducted by Dr. Yotamu Hara of YCS Sustainable Solutions Ltd. confirms flotation recoveries exceeding 96.5%, with concentrate grades of 26.91% Cu—a remarkable result for oxide-dominant ore.

Technical Highlights:

96.52% cumulative copper recovery using flotation (see p. 30 of Hara Report), with sulphide concentrates at 26.91% Cu and oxide concentrates at 4.31% Cu.

Flotation made possible through advanced chemistry, particularly the use of CMC depressants to manage high talc content (up to 54%), previously considered a major processing barrier.

The ore’s upgrade potential allows for low-cost leaching via solvent extraction, positioning Kalaba among Africa’s lowest-cost green copper producers.

An NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate is expected to be released before the end of July 2025.

A Model for Green Critical Minerals:

Full environmental clearance has been granted by ZEMA (Zambia Environmental Management Agency).

A 5 MW solar energy facility has been completed and approved, with plans to expand to 100 MW—enabling carbon-neutral production of copper and cobalt.

Terra Metals and its partners will become Zambia’s first large-scale producers of green critical metals, powered almost entirely by solar energy.

Traditional & Community Support:

Terra Metals acknowledges the tremendous support of His Royal Highness Senior Chief Sailunga and Chief Ntambu of the Lunda people. Their leadership and collaboration have played a vital role in advancing the Kalaba Project with integrity and respect for local communities.

Regional Upside:

In addition to Kalaba, the company holds a large-scale exploration license through Central Africa Renewable Energy, covering a prospective copper-cobalt zone immediately south of Ivanhoe’s world-class Kamoa-Kakula Mine in the DRC Copperbelt.

Chairman’s Statement:

“This isn’t just a technical success—it’s a declaration that Zambia can lead in responsible, solar-powered production of the world’s most critical minerals. Kalaba is proof that innovation, sustainability, and community partnership can deliver real value.”

— Mumena Mushinge, Chairman, Terra Metals Inc. and Lunda Resources.

Next Milestones:

NI 43-101 Report expected before July 31, 2025

240TPH concentrator commissioning in September 2025

Solar expansion to 100 MW

Phase 2 exploration and geophysics at DRC-bordering tenement

It looks like an American firm and Terra Metals have signed a JV to develop a mine in the same district that the JV licences are in? I'm guessing their operation must be outside the Anglo JV licence area? This is all Imho!

What is the significance of this ? I don't understand!

Morning Kefi-ites...........any money come in yet?

Born and raised in Plymouth, but with an Australian accent, Mr Brewer is a senior mining executive! All imho!!!

Yes Andy lad I know about the LOI from the US government, that's why I brought it up, and it's no me saying Tanbreez is uneconomic i was just sharing what sustainable dude thinks, either way an interesting story ro follow but nothing on Maru and Brewer!

Money of Mine just did a whole podcast on rare earths with an expert, but I am completely uninterested in putting my hard earned into some chemistry project! All imho!

Narrow veins, government shut it down, was allegedly running at a loss, now what mineral are the rare earths hosted in kiddo?

Wow Andii lad that sounds absolutely fantastic. I'm gonna be offline for a few hours while I pop down the Ferrari dealership kiddo as this has got winner written all over it lad, imho!
