Description:
True North Copper (ASX:TNC) offers investors strong risk-adjusted returns from current prices and several upside from its Cloncurry copper project, according to a report published by Australian market research firm Morgans.
With its portfolio of complementary copper assets in a world-class mining district in Australia, Morgans’ analyst Tom Sartor believes the value of in-situ copper at TNC’s assets will increase in line with the copper market.
“We like TNC’s: 1) multi-year production/cash flow potential; 2) self-funding potential; 3) mine life/exploration upside; and 4) higher grade development prospect at Mt Oxide,” the report said.
TNC has announced it will commence mining ore at Wallace North in the fourth quarter of 2024, following the company’s mining restart study for the Cloncurry copper project (CCP). In January 2024, TNC secured an offtake agreement with Glencore and a US$28-million dollar loan facility from Nebari Natural Resources Fund.
Cloncurry copper project's associated reserves and infrastructure
“Execution of the CCP re-start to plan is company-defining in 2024 as TNC has an opportunity to achieve self-funding status and allay market fear of liquidity risk,” wrote Sartor in the report.
Highlights of the report:
- Upsides include multi-year production and cash flow potential from CCP mine restart; self-funding potential; mine life expansion potential and exploration upside; and higher grade development prospect at TNC’s Mt Oxide project.
- TNC’s aim to become a self-funding, NorthWest Queensland-focused copper producer-developer remains intact. In fact, several value-adds since the reverse takeover, including CCP de-risking, orebody confidence and exploration success are being overlooked as liquidity dominates market attention.
- Price catalysts include successful CCP mining/tolling re-start and demonstration of CCP commerciality and positive cash generation by late 2024. The Morgans report notes it expects “quarterly cash outflows to continue through 2024 as the ramp-up of revenues will take time to catch-up to and overtake expenses linked to the mining contractor ramp-up, pre-stripping and logistics required to unlock it.”

Juggernaut Further Increases Oversubscribed Financing to $10,329,735 Due to Strong Demand from Institutions and Accredited Investors -- Dr. Quinton Hennigh Technical Advisor
Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - May 15 th, 2025 Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: JUGR) (OTCQB: JUGRF) (FSE: 4JE) (the "Company" or "Juggernaut"), further to its April 14 th and April 23 rd and April 25 th 2025, news releases, the Company is pleased to announce a further increase in its non-brokered financing of up to $10,329,735. Juggernaut welcomes this strategic investment from Crescat Capital Funds LLC ("Crescat") and technical support from Dr Quinton Hennigh. Confirming the quality of the newly discovered 11 km Highway of Gold surrounding the Eldorado porphyry system on the Big One property. The discovery is in an area of glacial and snowpack abatement next door to the gold-rich porphyry systems at Newmont Mining's Galore Creek. The Big One Property is a discovery previously announced Jan 20 th (Click Link) with assays up to 79.01 gt gold (2.54 ozt gold) and 3157.89 gt silver (101.5 ozt silver) from over 200 gold-silver-copper rich polymetallic veins up to 8 m wide and striking for up to 500 m that all remain open at surface. The Big One Project covers 33,693 hectares in a world-class geologic terrane with tremendous additional discovery potential in the heart of the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh has taken on the role of special technical advisor to the Company. He is the technical consultant for all Crescat's gold and silver mining investments. Dr. Hennigh is a world-renowned exploration geologist with over 40 years of experience with major gold mining firms, Homestake Mining, Newcrest Mining, Newmont Mining, and Kirkland Lake/Fosterville. In just the last five years, Dr. Hennigh was instrumental in several material discoveries, including Goliath / Surebet, Newfound / Queensway, SCM / Isidorito, Eloro / Iska Iska, Snowline / Valley, Sitka / RC Gold Project, and Tectonic / Flat.
Dr. Hennigh stated , "The Big One gold-silver project has a very similar feel to Goliath's Surebet gold discovery. To date, reconnaissance prospecting and sampling conducted by Juggernaut's exploration team have identified a multitude of multi-meter thick quartz-sulfide veins, many of which have yielded +oz per tonne Au and multi-oz per tonne Ag assays. Early indications suggest there is a genetic association of veins with late-stage magmatism in the area, an association seen at Surebet. This season, Juggernaut has a clear mandate to follow up on these results with detailed mapping and channel sampling, much like Goliath did during the early days of the Surebet discovery. The Company's mission is to get as many targets as possible ready for drill testing either late season or for 2026. I am very eager to see if a new "Surebet" type discovery is in hand.

Redstone Resources
Investor Insight
Redstone Resources is strategically positioned to benefit from rising global demand for battery metals, with 100 percent ownership of its copper-focused West Musgrave project in WA and a lithium acquisition in Canada.
Overview
Australia, a top global producer of key minerals like copper, nickel, lithium, and gold, supports growing demand through its stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions. The underexplored Musgrave Province hosts significant deposits of critical metals including nickel, PGEs, copper, and rare earths.
Redstone Resources (ASX:RDS) is exploring its 100 percent-owned West Musgrave Project in Western Australia, home to the Tollu Copper deposit. The project lies near major discoveries such as BHP’s Nebo-Babel and Succoth deposits, and Nico Resources’ Wingellina project.
With additional tenement applications in the region and a leadership team experienced in geology, exploration, and business development, Redstone is well-positioned to advance its battery and base metals strategy.
The unique Musgrave terrain has attracted major players like BHP, which is advancing construction of its Nebo-Babel nickel-copper-PGE mine after securing final approvals. The deposit hosts 390 Mt at 0.30 percent nickel and 0.33 percent copper, containing 1.2 Mt of nickel and 1.3 Mt of copper (2012 JORC). Alongside Nico Resources’ Wingellina nickel-cobalt deposit, these discoveries highlight the region’s potential as a major base metals hub.
Redstone’s West Musgrave Project lies between these key deposits—just 60 km east of Nebo-Babel and 50 km west-southwest of Wingellina. The project remains underexplored but is highly prospective, with geology suited to magmatic nickel-copper sulphides, VHMS, and large hydrothermal systems.
Location of Redstone's West Musgrave Project and the Tollu Cu Deposit relative to the world class Nebo-Babel Cu-Ni-Co Deposit and other deposits and prospects in the area.
Redstone Resources’ 100 percent-owned Tollu copper deposit, part of its West Musgrave Project, hosts a JORC-compliant resource of 3.8 Mt at 1 percent copper for 38,000 tonnes of contained copper (0.2 percent cut-off). A conceptual exploration target suggests potential for up to 627,000 tonnes of copper.
Expanding beyond Australia, Redstone is building a lithium portfolio in Canada through a 50/50 joint venture with Galan Lithium (ASX:GLN), acquiring 100 percent of the Camaro, Taiga, and Hellcat Projects in Quebec’s James Bay Lithium District. This region hosts key discoveries, including Patriot Metals’ (ASX:PMT,TSXV:PMET) Corvette Project and Winsome Resources’ ASX:WR1) Cancet Project. Notably, Patriot’s CV8 and CV13 pegmatites lie just 1.4 km from Taiga and 1.5 km from Camaro, respectively.
Redstone will manage the 5,187-hectare JV, backed by a seasoned team with deep expertise in exploration, operations, and corporate strategy.
Company Highlights
- Redstone Resources is an Australia-based mineral exploration company exploring highly prospective properties for copper and other base metals in the West Musgrave region of Western Australia.
- The West Musgrave region is home to major discoveries, including the world-class Nebo-Babel nickel-copper-PGE sulphide deposit and the Wingellina nickel-cobalt deposit, attracting significant interest from major miners.
- Redstone’s 100 percent-owned West Musgrave Project lies just 60 km west of BHP’s Nebo-Babel, highlighting the strong prospectivity of its tenure. The project hosts the Tollu Copper vein deposit, evidence of a large hydrothermal system, and is situated in a geological and structural setting highly favourable for magmatic nickel-copper sulphide, VHMS, and intrusive-related hydrothermal deposits
- Redstone Resources also has a 50/50 joint venture agreement with Galan Lithium, acquiring a 00 percent of a highly prospective suite of lithium projects in James Bay, Quebec.
- The Redstone and Galan Lithium joint venture project acquisitions complement the company’s West Musgrave and its strategy to increase exposure to the growing global battery metals and explore for critical minerals in high demand.
- A strong management team leads the company with decades of experience in the resources sector.
Key Projects
The West Musgrave Project
The West Musgrave Project spans 213 sq. km. of highly prospective yet underexplored terrain. Redstone believe their West Musgrave Project, and the entire West Musgrave Region, has the appropriate setting required to host major Ni-Cu-PGE deposits, such as the Voiseys Bay deposit in Canada. The geological setting of the West Musgrave is comparable to the Nain-Churchill province boundary in Canada, which in Labrador, hosts the world-class Voisey’s Bay deposit.
Voisey’s Bay is considered a ‘giant’ Ni-Cu deposit; in one section alone it contained 31.7Mt of ore grading 2.83 percent nickel and 1.68 percent copper. Voisey’s Bay is also relatively unique in that it is one of a very few Ni-Cu-Co deposits that are hosted in mafic, not ultramafic rocks. Another is Nebo Babel, which is situated only 60km west of Redstone’s Tollu Cu Deposit.
Drilling 7.5 km northeast of the Tollu Copper Vein deposit has confirmed the presence of similar rocks to those that host Nebo Babel, and with low-grade Cu mineralisation, further enhancing the prospectivity of Redstone’s project.
Given the favourable geology, Redstone believe it is possible that the high grade vein hosted Cu of Tollu could potentially be a remobilisation from a much larger accumulation of sulphides nearby and hence remains a priority target area for world class deposits.
The Tollu Copper Vein Project
Tollu, part of the broader West Musgrave Project, features a large swarm of copper-rich hydrothermal veins across a 5 km² area, with surface mineralisation linked to a dilation system between two major shears. The deposit hosts a JORC 2012 resource of 3.8 Mt at 1 percent copper and 0.01 percent cobalt, containing 38,000 tonnes of copper and 535 tonnes of cobalt, with strong potential for expansion through further drilling.
Local Geology Map – Redstone’s West Musgrave Project
The Tollu Cu deposit represents a high-grade Cu accumulation from the surface to a depth of approximately 400m as evidenced by deep drilling intersections that consistently deliver strong results, particularly at the Chatsworth and Forio prospects. These results include:
Chatsworth Prospect
- TLC189: 25m at 1.46 percent copper from 61m, incl. 1m at 5.1 percent copper
- TLC192: 25m at 1.1 percent copper from 53m, incl. 7m at 2.64 percent copper
- TC80: 10m at 3.4 percent copper from 427m, incl. 5m at 5.3 percent copper
- TLC033: 5m at 2.21 percent copper from 100m
- TLC034: 15m at 1.39 percent copper from 136m, incl. 3m at 3.67 percent copper
Forio Prospect
At Forio, drilling confirmed further high-grade zones, including the highest copper grade recorded to date at Tollu—1m at 18.5 percent copper from 18m in TLC203. Additional results include:
- 8m at 4.1 percent copper from 13m, incl. 1m at 18.5 percent copper (TLC203)
- 4m at 1.2 percent copper from 45m (TLC203)
- 6m at 1.47 percent copper from 80m (TLC201)
- 34m at 1.07 percent copper from 15m, incl. 2m at 3.2 percent copper (TLC181)
Redstone and Galan 50/50 Joint Venture
James Bay Lithium Projects - Taiga, Camaro and Hellcat
Redstone Resources and Galan Lithium formed a 50/50 JV to acquire the James Bay Lithium Projects in Quebec, comprising the highly prospective Taiga, Camaro, and Hellcat Projects. Covering 3,850 hectares, the projects lie adjacent to Patriot Battery Metals’ Corvette lithium discovery—just 1.4 km from Taiga (CV8 pegmatite) and 1.5 km from Camaro (CV13 pegmatite).
Project Highlights:
- Located in the La Grande Subprovince, with geology favourable for spodumene-bearing pegmatites.
- Hellcat sits on the Vieux Comptoir Granitic suite, believed to be the source of regional lithium mineralisation.
- Initial work by Axiom Exploration identified 28 prospective pegmatite dykes.
Previous initial exploration on the James Bay Lithium Projects completed by Axiom Exploration identified 28 prospective pegmatite dykes.
