“People are realizing how great (Morocco) is. They've got a great mining law that they put in place in 2016 and they're open for business. They have the pros. It is a great place to be,” shared CEO and Director Matt Lewis.
Morocco ranked 15th globally for investment attractiveness in the Fraser Institute's 2025 Annual Survey of Mining Companies, reinstating its reputation as a premier mining jurisdiction. Steadright Critical Minerals (CSE:SCM,OTCGM:SCMNF) is building its portfolio with the country’s favorable mining laws and geological potential.
The company’s pure-play projects, all located in Morocco, include copper, silver, gold and titanium sands. CEO and Director Matt Lewis shared that Steadright is currently waiting on metallurgy and will conduct additional testing at the TitanBeach titanium project, which covers 192 square kilometers.
Work is also being done at its Copper Valley project, and the company is anticipating drilling. A February update outlines that several test pits were examined to verify material characteristics and confirm extraction logistics for the initial phase of testing operations. Lewis said that the company believes it can make money from it in the next two or three months.
In October 2025, Steadright signed a binding memorandum of understanding for the historic polymetallic zinc-lead-silver-copper-gold Goundafa mine in South-Central Morocco. The company said at the time that it would verify and potentially upgrade the historical estimate to a current mineral resource and was anticipating confirmatory drilling, modern sampling and assaying at the site.
Recently, the company also signed a letter of intent to acquire up to 60 percent of SilverLine Mining.

Brixton Metals (TSXV:BBB,OTCQB:BBBXF) Chairman, CEO, President and Director Gary Thompson revealed that following drilling commencement at Langis, the company is seeking to advance all its assets.
Its flagship project, Thorn, is located in Northwest BC, and assays from recent sampling returned up to 2.16 percent copper and 39 grams per tonne silver at the Cirque East target.
Langis, on the other hand, is located within the Timiskaming First Nation's traditional territory in Ontario and has demonstrated promising silver-cobalt recoveries ranging from 88 to 98 percent, with assays showing values of up to 18 percent silver and 16 percent cobalt.
Thompson said the company is also pushing to get enough drilling at Hudson Bay mine and Langis, two past-producing high-grade silver mines. “We're looking to get enough drilling on those to get them into a resource category,” he shared.

Spartan Metals (TSXV:W,OTCQB:SPRMF) CEO Brett Marsh said he previously worked directly with the US Department of Defense and Department of Energy, discussing critical metals projects and understanding the funding process. He said that the company has “the connections to get into,” and will hopefully be able to set up meetings when the time comes for the Eagle project in Nevada.
“Some of the leaders from the Department of Energy called us to understand, learn about the project and its tungsten and rubidium potential, and simply talk with us about how they could help us progress. They really got the mandate to go as far upstream as they can now. So we're leveraging that relationship to see if there's something that can be done there," he said.
As well, the Fraser Institute’s 2025 Annual Survey of Mining Companies named Nevada as the top jurisdiction in the world for investment attractiveness.
Spartan Metals’ 100 percent owned Eagle project is located in White Pine County, Nevada. It consists of the past-producing Tungstonia mine and the Rees/Antelope tungsten mines, which held operations from 1915 to 1942 and produced a combined total of 8,379 units at tungsten trioxide grades of between 0.6 and 0.9 percent.
The company recently expanded its land package at Eagle, including the acquisition of the Yellow Jacket mine, located approximately 2 kilometers east-northeast of the legacy Tungstonia mine.
“The interesting thing about the Yellow Jacket mine is that it was a past producer at about 1 percent, and we’ve actually seen that number show up fairly consistently throughout the Eagle package. Because of that, we're very confident that as we continue our exploration (that) we'll encounter excellent grades along with it,” Marsh shared.
