About Graphite:
Natural flake graphite is the fastest-growing product type and will continue to lead with a healthy growth rate of 9.5% in terms of value between 2021 and 2025.
In value and volume, batteries to exhibit the fastest-growth of 17.9% between 2021 and 2025. An average HEV contains up to 10 kgs of graphite, where in EVs it is up to 70 kgs.
Currently, synthetic graphite is the preferred material for battery anode materials. However, in the past few years, a significant shift towards natural flake graphite has been observed due to its cost-competitiveness and performance.
Graphite is the most preferred battery anode material for rechargeable batteries and the battery segment is anticipated to create an incremental opportunity worth US$4.6 Bn between 2020 and 2025.
In 2019, Asia Pacific was the largest consumer of graphite and is expected to grow 9.1% in terms of value between 2021 and 2025.
China's graphite production is anticipated to consolidate owing to environmental issues. New companies are entering into the graphite space, especially in the processing of natural flake graphite. Graphite is considered as a material of green energy and technology.

Sun Summit Minerals Eyes "Multimillion-Ounce" Gold Deposit at JD Project
Sun Summit Minerals (TSXV:SMN,OTCQB:SMREF) is advancing toward a multimillion-ounce resource at its flagship JD gold project in BC following “fantastic” results from the first drill hole, which showed high-grade, shallow mineralization, according to CEO Niel Marotta.
“The thesis here is that, if we prove up a multimillion-ounce deposit, we really think there's 10x potential in our market cap. We're trading at about a C$40 million market cap now, which is about 10 percent of our neighbors. So that, I think, is what people ought to focus on,” he said.
In a recent announcement, Sun Summit reported that the first hole completed in 2025 returned “one of the strongest intervals of consistent and near-surface gold mineralization” drilled to date at the Creek zone. Results include 78 meters of 3.72 grams per ton gold starting at 30 meters down hole. The company plans to conduct follow-up drilling this season.
“This is a new parallel zone that we think is being expressed and defined here. And so that's very exciting that this deposit continues to grow in scale,” Marotta said.
The chief executive noted that more news about the other 10 drill holes completed at the Creek zone is anticipated in the coming months, with additional drilling also being undertaken in other areas of the property.

- Results from copper porphyry in Cambodia within 30 to 60 days;
- Seismic completion and interpretation for drill targets on Block VIII within 90 days; and
- Acquisition of oil production for increased recurring revenue streams.
- Transformational Asset: Block VIII is Cambodia’s first onshore oil and gas exploration license, strategically located near export infrastructure. Potential minimum targets estimated at 25 to 50+ million recoverable barrels.
- Revenue-backed Model: EnerCam Canada provides recurring revenue streams via oil production, water disposal, gas processing, and carbon capture solutions, insulating Angkor from over-reliance on equity markets.
- Strong ESG Commitment: Recognized at the United Nations for sustainability, Angkor integrates carbon capture, community partnerships and environmental responsibility into every project.
- Aligned Shareholder Base: Over 40 percent insider ownership with regular insider buying, demonstrating management’s confidence in long-term growth.
Overview
Founded in 2009 and publicly listed in 2011, Angkor Resources (TSXV:ANK,OTCQB:ANKOF) has built a unique dual-focused enterprise across energy and minerals in Asia and North America.
On the energy side, the company is advancing acquisition of cash flow through oil production and carbon capture in Canada, and is poised for transformational growth through the first-ever onshore oil and gas exploration program in Cambodia. Its Canadian subsidiary, EnerCam Exploration, is already generating revenue from oil production, water disposal and gas processing, while also implementing carbon gas capture and conversion solutions for provincial markets. In Southeast Asia, Angkor’s Cambodian subsidiary, EnerCam Resources, is spearheading a national-scale initiative to bring Cambodia its first domestic hydrocarbon energy, with exploration activities underway on the company’s Block VIII concession.
On the mineral side, Angkor has positioned itself as a first-mover in Cambodia’s underexplored mineral belts, holding licenses at Andong Meas and Andong Bor. These projects target both precious and base metals, with copper porphyry systems and high-grade gold mineralization now confirmed through exploration results.
Angkor’s strategy is designed to mitigate shareholder risk by diversifying revenue streams, blending recurring Canadian cash flow with high-impact exploration upside in Cambodia. The company’s management emphasizes hydrocarbons and copper as priorities, noting the potential value of 25 million recoverable barrels in Cambodia alongside significant copper-gold discoveries.
Key Projects
Onshore Cambodia – Block VIII Oil & Gas Concession
Angkor’s flagship asset is Block VIII, a 4,300 sq km oil and gas concession in Cambodia’s underexplored onshore sedimentary basin. The license, structured under a 30-year Production Sharing Agreement with renewal options, represents the first onshore hydrocarbon exploration license in the country. Geoscientific studies conducted by Danish, Canadian and European experts have identified strong indications of a foreland basin system and rift formations with significant petroleum potential. Over 21 natural oil seeps have been mapped and testing of the seeps by Schlumberger confirms the presence of hydrocarbons. Gas showings are also evident across the block.
The block is ideally located adjacent to export infrastructure, close to port with highway access to Phnom Penh and proximity to a deepwater port. Cambodia currently imports all of its petroleum products, making Block VIII strategically important both nationally and regionally. EnerCam, Angkor’s subsidiary, is implementing Cambodia’s first onshore 2D EnviroVibe seismic program, designed to minimize environmental footprint while mapping structural traps and stratigraphic features.
Technical projections suggest that once commercial quantity of recoverable hydrocarbons is proven, Block VIII could host Cambodia’s first onshore oil production. Angkor’s phased development plan includes completing seismic interpretation, definition of drill targets or additional 3D seismic followed by stratigraphic test wells and eventual development drilling. This project is expected to be the company’s most significant value driver and is prioritized as its number one corporate focus.
Canadian Energy & Carbon Capture – EnerCam Exploration
In Canada, Angkor operates through EnerCam Exploration Canada, which is a 40 percent interest holder in oil production and carbon solutions across 30 well sites spanning 516 hectares in Saskatchewan. These wells, shut in since 2018 due to low oil prices and mismanagement by previous operators, have been systematically refurbished and restarted. EnerCam participates in the full production cycle, including oil recovery, water separation and gas handling.
A key milestone was the acquisition of the pipeline network and compressor station, which resolved historical venting issues and allowed EnerCam to capture associated gas. This gas is converted into natural gas energy and sold into provincial markets. Angkor’s Canadian revenue streams also include water disposal fees, gas plant operations, and oil production revenues, supplemented by ongoing carbon capture and enhanced recovery of water conversion and injection wells projects.
Angkor holds a 40 percent interest in oil and gas production ventures in Saskatchewan, ensuring a recurring revenue stream. This platform not only offsets G&A costs but also provides a foundation for emission control and potential for further gas capture with surrounding producers in the area.
Cambodia Mineral Properties – Copper and Gold Portfolio
Through its subsidiary Angkor Gold Cambodia, the company holds a strategic portfolio of copper and gold assets in prospective belts. These licenses include Andong Bor and Andong Meas.
The Andong Bor license has emerged as a cornerstone of Angkor’s mineral portfolio. In June 2025, the company confirmed the presence of a copper-gold porphyry system, the first discovery of its kind in Cambodia. This breakthrough positions the project as a potential district-scale copper-gold system. Further drilling is expected to test depth extensions and delineate mineralized zones.
At the Andong Meas license, exploration has revealed high-grade gold mineralization, with surface samples returning assays up to 70 grams per ton (g/t) gold across a 0.8 km by 1.5 km area. This anomaly remains largely untested by drilling and represents a significant near-term target for resource expansion.

Gold Sector Consolidation Ramps Up with Newmont, Alamos and First Nordic Deals
The gold sector is undergoing another wave of portfolio reshuffling.
Fresh deals across the sector signal a growing shift toward consolidation and selective asset sales as stakeholders seek further growth during the yellow metal’s historic price run.
Newmont to sell Coffee Project in Yukon
Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM,ASX:NEM), the world’s largest gold producer, announced that it has reached an agreement to sell its Coffee project to Vancouver-based explorer Fuerte Metals (TSXV:FMT,OTCQB:FUEMF).
Under the terms of the deal, Newmont will receive US$10 million in cash at closing and US$40 million in Fuerte shares; it will also retain a 3 percent net smelter return royalty. Fuerte has the option to repurchase the royalty for up to $100 million, potentially bringing total consideration for the transaction to US$150 million.
For Fuerte, the acquisition marks a step in its strategy to build a copper and precious metals portfolio across the Americas. The company is backed by Pierre Lassonde, Newmont’s former president, and Trinity Capital Partners.
Yukon-based Coffee has long been considered prospective, but has faced permitting and financing hurdles.
Upon completion of the deal, Newmont will have fully implemented its plan of divesting six operations and two projects deemed non-core following its US$15 billion takeover of Newcrest Mining in 2023.
The divestment comes just days after Newmont said it will delist from the Toronto Stock Exchange at the close of trading on September 24. The company cited low trading volumes on the TSX, noting that the move will cut costs and simplify administration as it focuses on its largest and most profitable mines.
Shares will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange, where Newmont maintains its primary listing, as well as on the Australian Securities Exchange and the Papua New Guinea Stock Exchange.
Alamos to exit Turkey with US$470 million asset sale
Alamos Gold (TSX:AGI,NYSE:AGI) is shedding problematic overseas ventures to redirect capital closer to home.
The company recently announced a definitive agreement to sell Doğu Biga Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret, its wholly owned Turkish subsidiary, to Tümad Madencilik, a unit of Nurol Holding, for US$470 million in cash.
The subsidiary controls three gold and silver projects in Northwestern Turkey: Kirazlı, Ağı Dağı and Çamyurt. Kirazlı has been frozen since 2019 after Ankara declined to renew its mining license, sparking a US$1 billion arbitration claim by Alamos under the Netherlands-Turkey bilateral investment treaty.
Under the agreement, Alamos will receive US$160 million at closing, expected in the fourth quarter of 2025, followed by US$160 million one year later and US$150 million after two years. Arbitration proceedings against Turkey will be suspended and ultimately discontinued once contractual milestones are met.
“This transaction marks a positive outcome, allowing us to crystallize significant value for our Turkish assets, and utilize the proceeds to support the development of our portfolio of other high-return growth projects,” said Alamos President and CEO John A. McCluskey in a Sunday (September 14) press release. Those projects include the Island Gold Phase 3+ expansion in Ontario, the Lynn Lake project in Manitoba and Puerto Del Aire in Mexico.
For Tümad, the purchase consolidates its position as a leading domestic miner. The company already operates two producing gold and silver mines in Turkey and will now add a trio of advanced development assets to its pipeline.
First Nordic, Mawson to merge and form NordCo Gold
First Nordic Metals (TSXV:FNM,OTCQX:FNMCF) announced it will acquire Mawson Finland (TSXV:MFL,OTC Pink:MFLDF) in an all-share transaction that will create a new company called NordCo Gold.
The combined entity will control over 123,000 hectares of exploration ground across Sweden and Finland, anchored by First Nordic’s Barsele joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM,NYSE:AEM) and Mawson’s Rajapalot gold-cobalt project. In total, NordCo will hold an inferred resource of 2.1 million gold equivalent ounces, along with 0.3 million gold equivalent ounces in measured and indicated attributable resources.
Taj Singh, CEO of First Nordic, described the deal as “about scale, quality and execution,” adding that the company sees “multiple meaningful deposits to be discovered and delineated over the coming years.”
NordCo will have a pro forma market capitalization of about C$259 million and a cash balance of roughly C$50 million following a C$30 million concurrent financing.

Prince Silver: Advancing the Large-scale Prince Silver Project in Nevada
Prince Silver (CSE:PRNC,OTC:HWTNF) is a Vancouver-based exploration company advancing the Prince Silver project in southeastern Nevada. In July 2025, the company completed the transformational acquisition of Stampede Metals Corporation and rebranded from Hawthorn Resources to Prince Silver Corp. The flagship Prince project is a district-scale, past-producing silver-gold-zinc-manganese carbonate replacement system, historically mined for silver and base metals in the early to mid-1900s.
Fully funded and technically refreshed, the company’s near-term priority is to validate and build upon the 129 historic drill holes (over 16,600 m) completed on the property, with the goal of converting the large JORC-compliant exploration target into a maiden NI 43-101 mineral resource.
A drill program is scheduled to begin in early September 2025, targeting the validation of legacy data, step-outs along mineralized trends, and continuity across the deposit’s multiple mantos, veins, and breccia zones. In parallel, the company will undertake metallurgical test work, geophysical refinement, and updated geological modeling to support a modern pit-constrained resource and underpin a longer-term development strategy.
Company Highlights
- Flagship project: 100 percent ownership of the historic Prince silver mine in Lincoln County, Nevada, an open, near-surface silver-gold-zinc carbonate replacement deposit with a 25 to 43 Mt exploration target and strong historic grades.
- The company’s second project, Stampede Gap, is about 15 km north west of the Prince mine. Stampede Gap is a large porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum with an extensive alteration zone that presents a deep seated exploration target.
- Clean corporate reset: Hawthorn Resources completed the Stampede Metals acquisition and re-listed as Prince Silver Corp. on July 11, 2025, issuing 15 million shares for the acquisition and raising ~C$4 million in gross proceeds to fund drilling.
- Fully funded summer drill program: ~6,500-m reverse-circulation set to begin early Sept 2025 to validate historic holes and step out along strike/dip to expand known mineralization and potential resources. .
- Tight share structure: 45.9 million shares outstanding post-financing; Stampede shareholders voluntarily locked-up for 12 months.
- Experienced, hands-on leadership: President Ralph Shearing, plus new directors Robert Wrixon and Darrell Rader, add mine-building, corporate and capital-markets depth to the company’s leadership team.
