Mexican Independence Day kicked off with a bang Friday night at the in Tijuana, Mexico. Hometown hero Angel Fierro of Tijuana (22-1-2, 17 KOs) and Brayan Zamarippa of Ensenada (13-3, 4 KOs) delivered the war they promised with ten rounds of nonstop action. Fierro nearly got burned but escaped slightly singed with a majority decision over Zamarippa. Scores were 96-95 and 96-94 for Fierro and 96-94 for Zamarippa.

The audience began the fight cheering for Fierro and were rewarded as he gained the upper hand early. But they grew quiet as Zamarippa returned fire and wobbled Fierro in the middle rounds. A hard overhand right hit the target in the sixth, but Zamarippa couldn’t capitalize with a knockdown or stoppage. He rattled Fierro again in the seventh, and once again, it looked on the brink of disaster but held on and held up.

Fierro Fires Back, Saves The Scorecards
Once he recovered, Fierro had Zamarippa on shaky legs in the eighth and ninth rounds by wearing down Zamarippa to the body, then following with headshots. Zamarippa always found his footing somehow, bit down, and carried on.
Hearing the scores, the crowd booed the result. A disappointed Zamarippa turned and strode out of the arena with his trainer angrily arguing his fighter won.
“I think also people sometimes are never happy. They believe Zamarippa won that fight,” said Fierro. “I think we did enough to win that fight. I think we made people happy tonight.

Fierro said fighting in Mexico on the nation’s Independence Day weekend was important. “It showed also we’re ready for big things. It was delightful to fight in front of my people and put on a good show. Making them happy is the most important thing, and I’m glad I was able to do that.” Despite the booing, apparently.
The nature of the fight was no surprise to Fierro. “I thought it was going to be a war. We showed the difference, we got in there. We showed we’re ready for the really big fights. I think we’re completely ready for the opportunity now. We’ve been ready for a while,” said Fierro. Fierro has a minor WBO title. While unified lightweight champion Devin Haney has bigger fish to fry, WBO Global champion Raymond Muratalla of California would make a terrific regional opponent.
Erika Cruz Cruises in Bloody Good Win Over Parker

Popular Erika Cruz of Mexico City (16-2, 3 KOs) easily defeated Melissa Odessa Parker of Brooklyn, now fighting out of Texas (6-2, 2 KOs). The former unified, undisputed featherweight champion moved to super bantamweight after losing her titles to Amanda Serrano, and it was a successful debut for Cruz. Scorecards were 99-91 twice and 98-92.
Cruz battered Parker in a bloody outing after a headbutt in the eighth round created cuts for both fighters. But Cruz hardly noticed as it’s almost the norm for her. Cruz wins a minor WBA title, and if she can continue to make 122 pounds, there is plenty of opportunity. We’d love a fight against fellow Mexico City native Mayeli Flores, who defeated veteran Mariana “Barbie” Juarez on the Munguia vs. Derevyanchenko undercard.
Devastating Tragedy Casts Shadow Over Skye Nicolson Win

Skye Nicolson of Australia(8-0) won the WBC interim World Featherweight title over Sabrina Perez of Buenos Aires, Argentina (18-2-1, 2 KOs). Nicolson won by unanimous decision, 99-91, 98-92, and 97-93. The veteran Perez made Nicolson step up and work hard. Nicolson becomes the mandatory challenger to full WBC champion Amanda Serrano.

The outcome was delayed as Perez’s husband and trainer, Diego Arua, collapsed at the end of the fight. He was immediately taken to Tijuana’s General Hospital, where he died. According to WBC president Mauricio Sulieman, the cause was a heart attack. Perez and Arua had been married for 18 years.
Also on the undercard, featherweight Christian Olivo (21-1-1, 7 KOs) andKevin Crespo of Tijuana (12-1, 9 KOs) delivered an all-action classic, with Olivo scoring an upset and handing Crespo his first loss in his first ten-round fight. The pair traded action, and both appeared hurt at times but made it to the final bell. All three scores favored Oliv0, 97-93 twice and 96-94.

Heavyweight Federico Pacheco (5-0, 4 KOs), the 19-year-old younger brother of impressive super middleweight prospect Diego Pacheco, scored a third-round knockout with body shots dropping Carlos Cardenas of Guadalarja (4-1, 3 KOs). Mexican Independence Day wouldn’t be the same without two big Mexican heavyweights letting it go. Viva Mexico!
Bubbling with euphoria as thick as the haze in the air, marijuana enthusiasts flocked this weekend to Brazil’s first “ExpoCannabis,” amid a national debate over decriminalizing the drug for personal use.
Launched in Uruguay a decade ago, the huge marijuana fair opened its first international edition Friday in Sao Paulo, complete with DJs, guest speakers, myriad pot products and a large outdoor space packed with hundreds of visitors, nearly all of them smoking up.
Organizers said they expected 20,000 people to attend the three-day event, which aims to showcase cannabis in its many uses, and not just recreational and medicinal.
“We want to show the public all the plant’s capabilities. We’re not just talking about the pharmaceutical industry. The plant can also work in the food and beverage industry, the construction industry, the textile industry and biofuels,” organizer Larissa Uchida told AFP.
“It’s a plant that has been demonized for many years, so there needs to be a whole deconstruction of this idea.”
Uchida said the event respected Brazilian legislation, with vendors selling cannabis accessories, extracts and derivatives — but not the actual drug.
Those smoking it at the fair likely purchased it illegally, but authorities appeared willing to turn a blind eye.
Brazil’s 2006 drug law imposes prison terms for drug trafficking, and lighter penalties such as community service for possession, but has faced criticism for a lack of clarity over the line between the two.
– Landmark court case –
ExpoCannabis got its start in Uruguay in 2013, the same year the small South American country became the first in the world to fully legalize the regulated production and sale of recreational marijuana.
The event in neighboring Brazil comes as the Latin American economic powerhouse re-evaluates its own prohibitionist drug laws.
Brazil’s Supreme Court is currently hearing a case that could decriminalize small-scale possession and use of cannabis and certain other drugs in the nation of 203 million people.
Five of the court’s 11 justices have so far ruled for decriminalizing marijuana for personal use, just one vote short of the majority needed.
Ruling to decriminalize in August, Justice Alexandre de Moraes condemned existing anti-narcotics laws, which he said principally penalized “young people, especially uneducated Blacks, who are treated as drug traffickers for possessing small quantities.”
However, in a sign of how controversial the subject remains, Senate president Rodrigo Pacheco announced plans Thursday to introduce legislation to amend the constitution to explicitly make the possession of any amount of cannabis a crime.
– Budding mega-industry –
“I think it’s very important to have the first edition (of ExpoCannabis) in Brazil right now,” Sao Paulo state legislator Caio Franca told AFP at the fair.
“We’re at a very opportune moment for a conversation on cannabis-based medicines and recreational use, both from a legislative point of view and also in the courts,” said Franca, who has introduced a bill to include medical marijuana in the Sao Paulo public health system.
Marijuana for medical use also remains a touchy subject in Brazil. Patients have had to go to court to win the right to use the active ingredient cannabidiol, or CBD, for treatment of conditions such as epilepsy.
Gabriel Vieira, an exhibitor at the fair, called for Brazil to join the growing number of countries that have partially or fully legalized cannabis.
“We have to see the truth: there are a lot of people who consume it, whether it’s medicinal or recreational. I think we need to follow in the footsteps of countries like Germany, the United States,” said Vieira, who is 29.
The economic potential of the budding global cannabis industry — valued at $43.7 billion last year, and projected to grow to more than 10 times that by 2030 — was on full display at the fair.
Visitor Luciano Narita, 40, grinned as he showed off his haul of products.
“I came here looking for new products, like this chocolate I bought, pipes, leaves,” he said with a smile.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — High consumption of soybean oil has been linked to obesity and diabetes and potentially autism, Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, and depression. Add now to this growing list ulcerative colitis, a form of inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, characterized by chronic inflammation of the large intestine.
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, examined the gut of mice that were consistently fed a diet high in soybean oil for up to 24 weeks in the lab. They found beneficial bacteria decreased and harmful bacteria (specifically, adherent invasive Escherichia coli) increased — conditions that can lead to colitis.
Soybean oil is the most commonly used edible oil in the United States and is increasingly being used in other countries, particularly Brazil, China, and India. In the U.S., soybean production took off in the 1970s for use as animal feed; a byproduct of the increasing trend in growth was soybean oil. Soybeans, a good source of protein, are easy and cheap to grow.
“Our work challenges the decades-old thinking that many chronic diseases stem from the consumption of excess saturated fats from animal products, and that, conversely, unsaturated fats from plants are necessarily more healthful,” said Poonamjot Deol, an assistant professional researcher in the Department of Microbiology and Plant Pathology and a co-corresponding author on the paper published July 3 in Gut Microbes, an open access journal.
Deol explained it is linoleic acid in soybean oil that is the main concern.
“While our bodies need 1-2% of linoleic acid daily, based on the paleodiet, Americans today are getting 8-10% of their energy from linoleic acid daily, most of it from soybean oil,” she said. “Excessive linoleic acid negatively affects the gut microbiome.”
Deol and her co-authors found that a diet high in soybean oil encourages the growth of adherent invasive E. coli in the gut. This bacterium uses linoleic acid as a source of carbon to meet its nutritional demands. Further, several beneficial bacteria in the gut are not able to withstand linoleic acid and die off, which results in harmful bacteria growing out. Adherent invasive E. coli has been identified in humans to cause IBD.
“It’s the combination of good bacteria dying off and harmful bacteria growing out that makes the gut more susceptible to inflammation and its downstream effects,” Deol said. “Further, linoleic acid causes the intestinal epithelial barrier to become porous.”
The barrier function of the intestinal epithelium is critical for maintaining a healthy gut; when disrupted, it can lead to increased permeability or leakiness. Toxins can then leak out of the gut and enter the bloodstream, greatly increasing the risk of infections and chronic inflammatory conditions, such as colitis. The researchers note that the increase in IBD parallels the increase in soybean oil consumption in the U.S. and hypothesize the two may be linked.
Toxicologist Frances M. Sladek, a professor of cell biology and a co-corresponding author on the research paper, recalled that heart disease was linked to saturated fats in the late 1950s.
“Since studies showed that saturated fats can be unhealthy, it was assumed that all unsaturated fats are healthy,” she said. “But there are different types of unsaturated fats, some of which are healthful. For example, the unsaturated fat fish oil is well known to have many beneficial health effects. People therefore assumed that soybean oil is perfectly safe and healthier to consume than other types of oils, without actually doing a direct comparison as we have done.”
Sladek noted that linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid. The soybean oil the researchers used in their experiments had 19% linoleic acid. The American Heart Association recommends 5 to 10% of daily calories be from omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, in order for the heart to remain healthy. Many seed oils – safflower and sunflower, for example — are sources of linoleic acid. Animal fat can also be a source.
“Every animal has to get linoleic acid from the diet,” Sladek said. “No animal can make it. A small amount of it is needed by the body. But just because something is needed does not mean a lot of it is good for you. Several membranes in the body, in the brain, for example, require linoleic acid for the cells to function properly. If all we ate was saturated fats, our cell membranes would become too rigid and not function properly. Future studies are needed to determine the tipping point for how much daily linoleic acid consumption is safe.”
According to Sladek and Deol, olive oil, which has lower amounts of linoleic acid, is a healthier oil to consume.
“Olive oil, the basis of the Mediterranean diet, is considered to be very healthy; it produces less obesity and we have now found that, unlike soybean oil, it does not increase the susceptibility of mice to colitis,” Sladek said.
James Borneman, a professor of microbiology and plant pathology at UCR and a co-corresponding author on the paper, is an expert on the gut microbiome. He has collaborated at UCR with several groups on research projects, including studies investigating how gut microbes prevent obese people from losing weight. For the current study, he teamed up with Deol and Sladek to examine the gut microbes of the mice that were fed a high soybean oil diet.
“Adherent invasive E. coli contributes to IBD in humans, and the fact that we find this E. coli in these mice is concerning,” he said. “Sometimes, it can be unclear how research done in mice translates to humans, but in this study it is fairly clear.”
The research team was also surprised to find that the mice fed on a high soybean oil diet showed a reduction in the gut of endocannabinoids, cannabis-like molecules made naturally by the body to regulate a wide variety of physiological processes. At the same time, the gut showed an increase in oxylipins, which are oxygenated polyunsaturated fatty acids that regulate inflammation.
“We previously found that oxylipins in the liver correlate with obesity,” Deol said. “Some oxylipins have also been found to be bioactive in colitis studies. The bottom line of our current study is that a soybean oil-enriched diet similar to the current American diet causes oxylipin levels to increase in the gut and endocannabinoid levels to decrease, which is consistent with IBD in humans.”
Most processed foods in the U.S. contain soybean oil, perhaps explaining why many Americans have more than the recommended daily allowance for linoleic acid. Further, most restaurants in the U.S. use soybean oil because it is relatively inexpensive.
“Try to stay away from processed foods,” Sladek advised. “When you buy oil, make sure you read the nutrition facts label. Air fryers are a good option because they use very little oil.”
The researchers use olive oil for cooking and salads. Other healthy options for cooking, they said, are coconut oil and avocado oil. They cautioned that corn oil, on the other hand, has the same amount of linoleic acid as soybean oil.
“We recommend keeping track of the soybean oil in your diet to make sure you are not consuming excessive linoleic acid,” Deol said. “That is our take-home message.”
Deol, Sladek, and Borneman were joined by Paul Ruegger, Geoffrey D. Logan, Ali Shawki, Jiang Li, Jonathan D. Mitchell, Jacqueline Yu, Varadh Piamthai, Sarah H. Radi, Sana Hasnain, Declan F. McCole, Meera G. Nair, and Ansel Hsiao of UCR; and Kamil Borkowski and John W. Newman of UC Davis.
The research was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health, Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, American Gastroenterological Association, UCR Metabolomics Core Seed Grant, UC Davis West Coast Metabolomics Center, and U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The title of the paper is “Diet High in Linoleic Acid Dysregulates the Intestinal Endocannabinoid System and Increases Susceptibility to Colitis in Mice.”

Stellar week for Materials, Financials, Utilities and Energy. Everything else a bit crap.
James Bay Minerals (ASX:JBY) proves there’s no such thing as a bad time to IPO.
It’s definitely been a week since the market opened on Monday morning, and it’s lovely to be able to report that the ASX 200 benchmark is heading into the weekend with a spring in its step and gleam in its eye, a healthy 1.5% higher for the week after a solid charge today.
The four leading lights across the sectors this week have been the hard-working Materials, Financials, Utilities and Energy camps, each of them at least 1.0% higher with the top 3 well above +2.0%.

Hardly surprising, then, that the ASX’s own XGD All Ords Gold index was out in front again this week, up 3.21% because of the relentless drive of instability throughout the markets for the past few months.
Or years. It’s really getting hard to tell.
The XJR ASX 200 Resources index, of course, fared well this week, upping its game by 3.17% while the Banks did their usual “slow-n-steady wins the race” trick to quietly bank a 2.85% rise for the week.

The hands-down standout for the week is OzAurum, which stacked on around 138% – almost all of it during Friday’s session – after it told the market that its shopping trip to Brazil has been wildly successful.
OZM was flying hard right from open on news that the company has snapped up the Linopolis Jaime Project – a strategically held area of over 20 Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) bearing pegmatites that have been mined intermittently for tantalite, beryl, tourmaline, brazilianite and feldspar intermittently by the Pacheco family and other artisanal miners for over 50 years.
OZM wants the spot for its lithium, as it boasts spodumene grades of up to 7.36% LiO2 with an average spodumene grade of 6.94% LiO2 confirmed within a +7m wide spodumene zone.
Them’s big grades.
Etherstack (ASX:ESK) also enjoyed some time in the spotlight this week, up 80% for the week to reach $0.36 per share, after a pretty handy couple of days in the wake of an agreement with Telstra to trial and evaluate Etherstack’s innovative Mission Critical (MCX) 3GPP standards compliant Interworking function.
Ionic Rare Earths (ASX:IXR) pumped 47% this week after executing landmark partnership agreements with Ford, Less Common Metals and the British Geological Society to create a UK-based REE supply chain from recycled magnets.
According to IXR, being able to recycle waste permanent magnets will help alleviate the projected deficit for MREOs as the market grows from the current US$3bn to US$15bn by the end of the decade.
Southern Palladium (ASX:SPD) did well, too – up 46% even though we’ve barely heard a word from the company in the past few months.
On the wrong side of the line, Firebrick Pharma (ASX:FRE) had a shocker, falling 81% when it revealed that its highly-anticipated treatment for the common cold “doesn’t work”.
And AMA Group (ASX:AMA) also had a difficult week. After a few challenging months, a lengthy trading halt and a broom through the boardroom, AMA came out of the trading halt and promptly fell 58%.

HOW THE WEEK PLAYED OUT
Monday, 11 September – ASX 200 Up 0.36%
Novo Resources (ASX:NVO) ended flat after it jumped as high as 38%% on its market debut – shares were listed at 20c and traders got in and got out by the close.
After raising $7.5m to join the ASX, Canadian gold miner Novo Resources sits Smaug-like atop one of the largest prospective tenures for gold and battery metals in WA’s Pilbara region for 10,500km2 and is concentrating on the development of its Egina JV with its biggest shareholder,De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG) .
Back in June, De Grey Mining made a cornerstone investment of $35m to earn up to a 50% interest in Novo’s Becher gold project, 28km away from DEG’s massive Hemi gold deposit which forms part of the 11.7Moz Mallina gold project. In Victoria, Novo also owns the Belltopper project.
Cirrus Networks (ASX:CNW), wadded 30% on news that it’s entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed under which it is proposed Atturra will acquire 100% of Cirrus for $0.053 per share.
This includes a 20% free carried interest held by FAU to a decision to mine via a $200,000 cash payment, the issue of 1.25 million shares to FAU to be escrowed for six months, and a 0.75% net smelter royalty. Octava shot up 27% in early trade, but settled lower in arvo trade.
Octava says the geology of its tenure is similar to the nearby 18Mt @ 1% Li2O Archer lithium deposit held byGlobalLithium Resources (ASX:GL1) and has significant gold prospects to boot.
DebutanteJames Bay Minerals (ASX:JBY) announced itself as a significant new name in lithium, rising strongly on its first day on the ASX and bringing with it one of the largest exploration portfolios in Canada’s prolific James Bay lithium district.
Totalling ~224km2, the company’s Joule, Aero and Aqua properties are located in the ‘La Grande’ sub-province, along trend from the Corvette deposit, where Patriot Battery Metals (ASX:PMT) has an inferred MRE of 109.2Mt @ 1.42% Li2O and 160ppm Ta2O5.
Everyone loves a comeback story, and as I write the COVID-era anti-bacteria makerZoono Group (ASX:ZNO) is pulling off a bit of a one, up 25% to 4.5 cents round lunchtime, hitting +38% by the end of play.
ZNO is a local biotech which makes and sells super-dooper, inhouse ‘scientifically-proven, environmentally-friendly anti-microbial solutions’ which come in the guise of various sprays, wipes and foams – suited for skin care, surface sanitisers, food wraps and the lot.
But it wasNickelSearch (ASX:NIS), that owned Tuesday, when the nickel-now-lithium aspirant jumped on news of a collaboration withAllkem (ASX:AKE), owner and operator of the Mt Cattlin lithium mine, 10km from the Carlingup Nickel Project.
Under the terms Allkem will review the lithium-related data for Carlingup and advise on target generation and prioritisation.
“The arrangement is not yet at the level of a formal lithium joint venture and there is no guarantee that the technical collaboration will lead to a formal agreement in the future,” NickelSearch says.
Odin Metals (ASX:ODM) rose throughout the day on news that Martin Donohue, founder and former CEO of Kidman Resources (since de-listed and operating as Australian Light Minerals), is now non-executive chairman of the company, effective immediately.
Donohue is a big name in Aussie business, mining and also regarding China’s predatory approach during the mining boom, among old China Hands.
Simon Peters will assume the role of CEO/managing director as a result of this appointment, Odin says.
Wednesday, 13 September – ASX 200 Down 0.74%
Shares in naughty metals explorer Tempus Resources (ASX:TMR) absolutely surged, jumping almost 50% in the space of a few hours this morning on a distinct lack of news, before the ASX Highway cops steeped in, took them down and the shares were placed in restraining cuffs and put in a halt.
Tempus’ has gold exploration licences in Canada as well as some gold and copper prospects in Ecuador. The stock had shed almost its own bodyweight since clocking an all-time weigh-in high of 37¢ back in late 2020.
Shares were last traded at 2.4¢.
Pental (ASX:PTL) has made some bold moves since popping out of its own Trading Halt, the home, hygiene and e-commerce product developer and supplier is offloading its Consumer Products Business and a great big factory in beautiful Shepparton to none other than Selley’s, which some of you may recall is in the paints ‘n stuff business as part of Dulux Group.
The sale price is a cool $60m and comes with an exciting payout for punters:
A fully franked special dividend ‘of up to approximately 6 cents per share expected to be paid on or around 15 December 2023
An intended capital return ‘of up to approximately 18 cents per share (aggregate of $30.7
million) subject to shareholder approval at Pental’s 2023 annual general meeting and tax
advice (expected to be paid on or around 15 December 2023);
And an additional fully franked special dividend ‘of up to approximately 7 cents per share
(aggregate of $11.9 million) to be paid 8 months after completion of the Proposed Transaction.’
And that’ll be in addition to Pental’s otherwise enormous fully franked dividend of 1 cent per share
Unsurprisingly, Pental’s directors unanimously recommend that Pental shareholders vote in favour of the sale, in the absence of a better offer – it was up 40% near the close.
James Bay Minerals (ASX:JBY) is finding life as a listed concern a piece of lithium pie. On day 2 the Canada-facing lithium explorer is doing what it did yesterday, climbing unsteadily, but definitely climbing – it’s up circa 28% near the close now almost double it’s $0.20 listing price.
Starpharma (ASX:SPL) is up over 22% on news that interim data from the phase 1/2 clinical trial of DEP irinotecan shows that the drug prompts durable responses for up to 72 weeks in CRC patients receiving DEP irinotecan monotherapy, with a disease control rate (DCR) of 48%.
The clinical data was obtained from heavily pre-treated, advanced metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) or platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer patients. and will be presented at an upcoming key international oncology conference.
Additionally, SPL says the data shows a 100% disease control rate in patients receiving DEP irinotecan in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV).
OKR is an Australian minerals exploration company focused in the Kimberley Goldfields of Western Australia and the Democratic Republic Congo (DRC).
But it’s long-term strategy to become ‘a new leader in North American carbon-free nuclear energy’ by developing its portfolio of top notch uranium assets, is what’s led to today’s mighty stride.
Okapi’s case for developing uranium projects in North America reduces to several converging factors:
the clean energy movement will have to embrace nuclear power
uranium supply is not sufficient to meet future demand, and
the USA is investing billions in reigniting its nuclear energy capabilities and along with it, domestic uranium supply.
Okapi’s wave today is basically No #2 – the increasingly positive outlook for uranium demand which has driven the price to decade highs, after the World Nuclear Association released its forecasts for 2023 through to 2040.
But Okapi has strong strategic positions in #3) as well, more specifically in North America’s most prolific uranium districts – the Tallahassee Creek Uranium District in Colorado, and Canada’s Athabasca Basin, which currently supplies about 20% of the world’s uranium. In the US, our flagship Tallahassee Uranium Project in Colorado has a JORC Resource of 49.8Mlbs U3O8 (average grade of 540ppm U3O8).
Okapi also has the high-grade Rattler Uranium Project in Utah, and the Maybell Uranium Project in Colorado which boasts historical production of 5.3 million pounds of U308 (average grade 1,300ppm).
Terra Uranium (ASX:T92) another Aussie uranium explorer is leading the daily resources pack with a roughly 28% gain.
Terra is focused on exploring for heavy metal in Canada’s Athabasca Basin and it’s been particularly encouraged by the results from its first hole drilled at its Parker Lake project where it recently turned up a peak grade of 32.5 parts per million over 0.2 metres in diamond drilling.
Terra Uranium Executive Chairman, Andrew Vigar commented on this about a week ago with:
“The presence of anomalous uranium and pathfinders in our first drill hole at Parker is very encouraging and bears similarities to that recently reported from IsoEnergy’s Hawk Project on the Cable Bay Shear Zone 40km to the north east.
“We have only just begun to orient ourselves on this fertile structure, having brought all the scientific data up to modern standards suitable for targeting of a major uranium discovery in this new domain”.
Mini-cap oil and gas hunterMetgasco (ASX:MEL) has jumped over 30% this afternoon.
The minnow has long held licences out in South Australia’s Cooper Basin gas riches and it says it’s finally kicked into production out of the Odin-1 gas well at its joint venture project.
Friday, 15 September – ASX 200 Up 1.3%
Friday was all about Ozaurum Resources (ASX:OZM), which was flying hard right from open this morning, on news that the company has snapped up the Linopolis Jaime Project – a strategically held area of over 20 Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) bearing pegmatites that have been mined intermittently for tantalite, beryl, tourmaline, brazilianite and feldspar intermittently by the Pacheco family and other artisanal miners for over 50 years.
CEO and Managing Director, Andrew Pumphrey:
“We believe this is an ideal opportunity for the company to acquire strategic lithium projects in addition to the Mulgabbie and Patricia Gold Projects in Western Australia.
“In particular, the advanced Jaime Linopolis lithium Project with a +7m wide spodumene zone with an average grade of spodumene crystals of 6.94% LiO2 offers an immediate drill target and potential for a new lithium discovery,” Pumphrey said.
I might even repeat that bit: spodumene grades of up to 7.36% LiO2 with an average spodumene grade of 6.94% LiO2 confirmed within a +7m wide spodumene zone.
Thiccer than oatmeal, as my impossibly white teenage son says.
Also keeping up the good work wasFuture Battery Minerals (ASX:FBM) up on news that the company has received firm commitments for a heavily oversubscribed $7.6 million placement, including dollars coming in from some Big Names like Hancock Prospecting.
FBM says it’s going to spend the money on speeding up exploration drilling at the Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project (KHLP) in WA, in which the recent Phase 3 drilling has confirmed a significant spodumene bearing pegmatite swarm at the Big Red and Rocky prospects.
Finally,Adavale Resources (ASX:ADD) had a terrific General Meeting last night. They published the results of the resolutions put to members, advising that “all resolutions proposed were passed on a poll and without amendment.”
They also placed a bunch of shares, and climbed circa 23%.
James Bay hit the ground running this week, helping to reignite the market’s passion for lithium and proving that it’s possible to run a successful IPO at a time when pretty much everybody within screaming distance is questioning your sanity.
On the morning it went live, it opened at $0.25 and is currently sitting at $0.475 at the close of its first week on market, up a handsome 137.5%.
Novo listed this week to leverage its ownership of a highly prospective 10,500 km2 Pilbara, Western Australia, exploration portfolio, with a strong focus on the Nunyerry and Balla Balla Projects – both located in the East Pilbara – into something special.
While not as impressive as JBY’s rise, NVO did come to the end of the week ahead of the game, closing at $0.22 – up 10% since launch.
Upcoming IPOs
CGN Resources (CGR) – Due to list on September 15, $10 million at $0.20
Pioneer Lithium (PLN) – Due to list on September 18, $5 million at $0.20
Far Northern Resources (FNR) – Due to list on September 21, $6 million at $0.20
