Appointment of Chief Executive Officer
Minim Martap Project Update
CanyonContinuesRapidAdvancementTowardProduction
Canyon Resources Limited (ASX: CAY) (‘Canyon’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an update on key development workstreams at the Company’s flagship Minim Martap Bauxite Project (‘Minim Martap’ or ‘the Project’), located in Cameroon, as the Company continues to make rapid progress toward production.
Minim Martap ranks among the world’s richest bauxite deposits, underpinned by an Ore Reserve of 109Mt at 51.1% total Al2O3 and 2.0% total SiO2 and a JORC Mineral Resource Estimate of 1,027Mt at 45.3% total Al2O3 and 2.7% total SiO2
The Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) remains on schedule for completion in Q3 2025, with a focus on optimising operational efficiencies, ensuring sustainable economics and confirming the preferred pathway to production. The Company remains confident that the DFS will reinforce the viability of Minim Martap as a world-class bauxite project. Concurrently, discussions with select debt providers are progressing positively, as Canyon seeks to secure an optimal funding structure in alignment with strategic objectives and results from the DFS.
As part of the DFS, Canyon is currently evaluating the implementation of a two-stage development strategy, aimed at accelerating production through a phased ramp-up to enable a first bauxite shipment in 2026. This approach would enable earlier revenue generation, strengthen supply chain relationships and strategically position Minim Martap for future growth as rail capacity expands. In addition to this process, Canyon has engaged several internationally recognised consultants to refine and optimise the existing rail infrastructure required for the transport of the bauxite ore. Detailed assessments are now underway to enhance logistical efficiency and explore capacity expansion strategies that will support long-term operational growth.
As part of project execution planning, Canyon is working with leading mining equipment vendors to define procurement schedules and delivery timelines, ensuring timely access to critical mining equipment, which will be essential for meeting targeted production timelines and targets and maintaining operational efficiency. The Company remains focused on aligning equipment availability with its potential staged development strategy to support seamless project execution.
Discussions with potential offtake partners are advancing well, with negotiations reflecting strong market interest in Minim Martap’s high-quality bauxite product and supporting the Company’s efforts to secure long- term sales agreements. Establishing these strategic partnerships is a key step in de-risking the Project, working through the relevant financing discussions and ensuring an efficient pathway towards commencement of operations.
Bauxite market fundamentals and pricing has strengthened over the past 12 months, with the CIF China price for 45% Al203 and 3% total SiO2 ex Guinea reported to be approximately $US 100/DMT in February 2025. The product from Minim Martap with a proved or reserve grade 51.1% total Al203 and total SiO2 should achieve a considerable premium price compared to a 45% Al2O3 and SiO2 bauxite product.
Lastly, Canyon continues to focus on building out its project team and management team to ensure the Company is well-positioned during the next phase of development growth, as Canyon works toward becoming a near-term bauxite producer.
Mr Jean-Sebastien Boutet, Canyon Chief Executive Officer commented:“Progress at our world-class Minim Martap Project continues as planned, reinforcing our confidence in our timeline towards production. Notably, the analysis of a potential two-staged development strategy has been particularly promising, offering the opportunity for fast-tracked production and revenue generation, while strategically positioning the Company to capitalise on expanding rail capacity and the establishment of key supply chain relationships.
"Our team remains committed to transforming the Minim Martap Bauxite Project into a world-class operation that delivers sustainable, long-term value for shareholders and stakeholders alike. We will continue to provide timely updates as we achieve key milestones and advance toward production.”

Canada’s Mineral Exploration Tax Credit Facing Uncertain Future
Canadian mining industry investment has faced significant challenges over the past decade. There is a common understanding that funding isn’t moving through the sector, especially to juniors.
These small companies represent the foundation for mining in Canada, performing most exploration, and one program that has helped steer investment their way is the federal government’s Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (METC).
The program has been in place for the past two decades, but is set to expire on March 31, 2025.
With parliament prorogued, the mining industry is concerned that the METC will lapse and is calling for its renewal.
What is the Mineral Exploration Tax Credit?
The METC is a 15 percent credit that was created by Canada to help exploration companies raise money. It serves as a supplement to the flow-through share scheme established by the government.
Under the rules established for flow-through shares, companies can shift certain expenses to shareholders.
For tax purposes, these expenses are considered to have been incurred by the investor, not the corporation, and can reduce the investor’s taxable income. Investors in a mining company receive a 100 percent deduction for the amount invested in shares, as well as a 15 or 30 percent credit for eligible expenses.
Individuals who incur eligible exploration expenses pursuant to a flow-through share agreement with a mining company can claim the 15 percent METC. Eligible expenses include prospecting and geological surveys.
The METC applies to investors of all sizes, regardless of their marginal federal income tax rate; however, because some federal flow-through share incentives come in the form of income tax deductions, these deductions can vary.
Mining industry calls for METC extension
In a statement on January 7, the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) urged members of parliament to renew the METC, calling it one of the federal government's most productive programs.
"With exploration investment already in decline, allowing the tax credit to lapse would undermine every segment of Canada’s mineral sector — from coast to coast," the organization said.
The PDAC's release goes on to indicate that the METC is essential to safeguarding Canada’s competitiveness and the resilience of the country's mining sector as a whole.
The January statement came amid intensifying rhetoric about sweeping US tariffs on Canada and Mexico. The resource sector is a significant exporter to the US, with key products including oil, gas, steel and aluminum.
In a February interview with the Investing News Network, PDAC President Raymond Goldie emphasized that he would like to see the Canadian government make a permanent commitment to the METC.
He said certainty and stability would help maintain Canadian leadership in the resource sector.
“It is one of the most productive Canadian fiscal incentives by delivering a significant return on investment without requiring an outlay of public funds by the federal government,” Goldie noted.
He also spoke about how critical the mining sector is to the Canadian economy, indicating that exploration helps strengthen the country's economic resilience through economic growth and stronger domestic supply chains.
He noted that minerals add C$100 billion to Canada’s GDP and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.
METC expiration date approaching
In 2018, the METC was extended until March 2024, at which time it was extended until March 31, 2025.
However, given Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation, the subsequent prorogation of parliament and the Liberal Party's leadership race, it’s unclear whether the METC will be extended again this time.
The government is scheduled to reconvene on March 24, and given the short time frame between the return of parliament and the expiration of the credit, there are questions around how much will get done.
In addition to the METC, the federal government introduced the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC) in 2022. Similar to the METC, it provides a 30 percent credit to support the development of critical mineral projects in Canada that will produce batteries, permanent magnets, clean technology and semiconductors.
The two programs are separate, with the CMETC valid until March 31, 2027.

Comet Gold Project Review Following Gold Discovery Along Strike
Accelerate Resources Limited (“AX8”, “Accelerate” or the “Company”)is pleased to announce the commencement of a gold prospectivity review and reinterpretation at its Comet Gold Project (“Comet”) inspired by the recent exploration success by Caprice Resources at their Island Gold Project located 10km to the south-west in Western Australia’s Murchison Goldfield.
Key Points
- Accelerate commences comprehensive review of its Comet Gold Project in the Murchison region following the recent high-grade gold discovery at Caprice Resource’s (ASX: CRS) Island Gold Project, just 10km to the south-west.
- The 100% owned Comet Gold Project hosts significant gold mineralisation within Banded Iron Formation (BIF) lithologies, similar to those at The Island Gold Project.
- Notable previous drill intercepts at Comet include 9m at 3.89 g/t Au, 4m at 7.08 g/t Au and 6m at 2.29 g/t Au (see details in main body text).
- Accelerate’s 100% ground holding represents 73km2 with over 26km of prospective strike, strategically situated 19 km from Westgold Resources 1.2 million tonne per annum Tuckabianna gold mill in the +20Moz Murchison Goldfields of WA
Building on the Caprice high-grade gold discovery and the historic success of former ASX- listed Musgrave Minerals (now Ramelius Resources ASX: RMS) along the Break of Day trend, Accelerate is advancing its investigation of Comet by prioritising Banded Iron Formation (BIF) mineralisation at the Comet East, Comet North and the Antarctica Prospects (Figure 1). The review is expected to be complete by end of the Quarter and results will guide next steps in exploration including drill testing of BIF-hosted mineralisation targets along strike of the Caprice discoveries and the Break of Day trend.
Gold Targets
Drilling campaigns by Accelerate and historic explorers, including Silverlake Resources, have delivered significant assay results across three prospects at Comet, with the most recent program completed in 2020 during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Comet East Prospect (Figure 2) is situated approximately 1 km east of the former Comet-Eclipse Gold Mine of Westgold Resources (ASX: WGX), where wide-spaced shallow drilling during the 1990’s intersected significant gold mineralisation including 4m at 7.08 g/t Au from 27m (PRB305), and 3m at 4.53 g/t Au from 60m (PRC269)1.
