Drilling Contracts Awarded at Rae Cu Project

Mobilisation activities at Rae to commence imminently

White Cliff Minerals Limited (“WCN” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its upcoming drilling activities at its Rae Copper Project, Nunavut (the “Project”). The Company is set to commence drilling after recent granting of the required permits. This work program marks the first substantial exploration effort in the region for over a decade.
  • Northspan Explorations Ltd (“Northspan”) awarded a Contract for drilling at the Company’s Rae Copper Project. Northspan have been successfully undertaking drilling in Northern Canada for more than 40 years, including recently having safely and successfully completed drilling activities at nearby Nunavut projects
  • The maiden campaign will target approximately 4,000 meters of drilling at the Hulk sedimentary target and Danvers project area
  • Drilling will commence at the recently acquired Danvers project area, with works looking to further define the expansion upside noted by previous operators
  • Geophysical methods are currently being evaluated to assist in defining depth and strike extents at Danvers, with mineralisation remaining open in all directions
  • Several robust targets within the Rae Group sediments at Hulk have been defined for drill testing sediment hosted copper potential where:
    • Key regional scale structures are present as fluid conduits for mineralising fluids entering the sedimentary basin
    • Conductive signatures have been identified within sub basins at the Hulk target from 2024 MobileMT airborne surveys, indicating possible sulphide accumulations
    • Copper mineralisation has been sampled by the Company in outcrop
  • Alongside the drilling, detailed geological mapping and sampling will be undertaken this year to further expand the strike extent of surface mineralisation, and to identify further drill targets within the wider Rae Project area, with a focus on the Danvers, Hulk and Stark prospects

Australia as a Mining Jurisdiction: Assessing Risk in an Evolving Landscape

Australia has long been recognised as a stable and reliable jurisdiction for mining, a reputation built on its rich history in the sector. However, the industry is now coming to a crossroads.

These new pressures are reshaping everything from project development and investment decisions to environmental approvals and land access, forcing the sector — and investors — to navigate a complex and evolving landscape.

Navigating Uncertainty: How to Manage Jurisdictional Risk for Mining Stocks

In the high-stakes world of resource extraction, a nation's mineral wealth is a powerful magnet for investment, fueling economic growth and national prosperity. But not all countries are created equal.

For investors in the mining sector it's key to understand that jurisdictional risk can be profoundly impacted by political changes, as new administrations can swiftly alter the regulatory landscape. These policy shifts can present both opportunities and setbacks, introducing a complex layer of uncertainty to even the most promising ventures.

At the same time, regions traditionally seen as stable and secure for resource development can face their own challenges, including rigorous permitting regimes that can slow mine development activity.

Report: US$800 Billion in Mining Finance Could Derail Clean Energy Transition

A new report from the Forests & Finance Coalition warns that nearly US$800 billion in mining finance is accelerating extraction practices that could undermine global climate goals.

The study, titled "Mining and Money: Financial Faultlines in the Energy Transition," highlights what the organization calls “dangerously weak” safeguards in the sector.
