Critical Mineral Resources PLC (LSE:CMRS, FRA:98J) CEO Charlie Long spoke to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about progress at the Agadir Melloul copper project in Morocco, with the first independent JORC mineral resource estimate targeted for October. Long explained why it matters: some funds only invest post-JORC, and the independent estimate gives investors a trusted, audited basis for assessing the metal in the ground. The MRE will cover just 5-6% of CMR's current licensed area - effectively closer to 3-4% once near-term land acquisitions are factored in. Outcropping mineralisation extends 12-15 miles, which Long said means years of drilling potential before the company needs to target hidden areas. James Hogg, principal geologist and CEO of Addison, spent two and a half days on site, visiting multiple areas including some Long himself hadn't seen. Hogg observed rhyolite, gold, and sedimentary copper mineralisation, plus micro-conglomerate styles, across current drilling areas and on ground 10 kilometres southeast, where CMR may drill next. On next steps after the MRE, Long outlined two parallel workstreams: converting the resource into a reserve and mine schedule, and advancing metallurgy and plant work towards an environmental impact assessment. He said a network including former Rio Tinto personnel is assisting with feasibility work, which he expects to arrive quite soon.

ATOME PLC (AIM:ATOM) has struck a deal to fund a feasibility study for a huge 300 megawatt solar project in Paraguay. The plant would sit right next to its Villeta green fertiliser plant. Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR) has found two new mineralised zones at its Kalayi tin deposit in the DRC. They've also spotted an undrilled extension of the high-grade tin trend nearby. Critical Mineral Resources PLC (LSE:CMRS, FRA:98J) is targeting October for its maiden resource estimate at the Agadir Melloul copper project in Morocco. Independent consultants say they're impressed by what they've seen so far. Bradda Head Lithium Ltd (AIM:BHL) has started drilling at its Whistlejacket lithium project in Arizona. Historic holes there all intersected lithium, some at pretty high grades. Mila Resources PLC (LSE:MILA) has identified some compelling copper and gold targets at its Monal project in Queensland. Surface samples came back with grades up to 1.77% copper and decent gold too. Follow us and subscribe on YouTube, our social channels, and on proactiveinvestors.co.uk.

Critical Mineral Resources PLC (LSE:CMRS, FRA:98J) CEO Charlie Long discusses the latest drilling results from Agadir Melloul, why the project is being compared with the nearby Tizert copper deposit, the exploration upside with most of the target still untested, and the factors that give the company confidence the project can become an economic mining operation.

Critical Mineral Resources PLC (LSE:CMRS, FRA:98J) CEO Charlie Long tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that recent drilling at the Agadir Melloul copper project in Morocco confirms the mineralised system continues, building on the company's understanding of the resource despite normal variability between drill holes. Long said the focus is on building a continuous, mineable resource rather than judging individual holes in isolation; the company's internal estimate already stands at around 25,000 tonnes of copper. Ahead of the maiden JORC resource, work is progressing in parallel on metallurgical testing, pilot plant preparation, process flow sheet design, plant site selection, tailings planning and water management studies. Detailed mine scheduling will follow once the formal resource model is in place. Long said the maiden JORC resource will be a key milestone for institutional investors and specialist mining funds, even as the company remains confident in its internal model: "We know we've got a resource already... the ultimate size of the resource is going to grow over time. It's just a matter of drilling." Watch the full interview for more on Critical Mineral Resources' strategy, upcoming milestones and development plans for Agadir Melloul.

Critical Mineral Resources PLC (LSE:CMRS, FRA:98J) says its Agadir Melloul copper project in Morocco remains on track for a maiden resource estimate in October, with drilling confirming further shallow mineralisation. Around 7,000 metres of a planned 10,000-metre programme has been completed. Quadrise (AIM:QED) and Licella Holdings have mapped out a clearer path towards marine engine testing for low-carbon fuels combining bio-oil with Quadrise's bioMSAR technology. Lab work is planned for the second half of 2026, with pilot engine tests to follow if successful. Sovereign Metals Ltd (ASX:SVM, OTCQX:SVMLF, AIM:SVML, FRA:SVM) is pushing to position its Kasiya project in Malawi as a non-Chinese source of titanium, graphite and rare earths for US and allied supply chains. The definitive feasibility study puts the pre-tax net present value at $2.2 billion. Active Energy Group PLC (AIM:AEG, OTCID:AEUSF) says its UAE infrastructure pipeline has expanded to include projects of up to 100 MVA, with a new site offering immediate grid capacity now being progressed for acquisition. The company is also working with Bitdeer on substantially larger opportunities. Drax Group's (LSE:DRX) proposed acquisition of Bluefield Solar Income Fund Ltd (LSE:BSIF, FRA:5B3) has cleared its UK national security review, with completion now expected on Friday.

Independent geologist Nigel Chapman spoke to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion after returning from a site visit to Critical Mineral Resources PLC (LSE:CMRS, FRA:98J)'s Agadir Melloul copper project in Morocco. Chapman said the project has the potential to be district-scale, with mineralisation that keeps extending east, south and north the more drilling is carried out - and with less than 5% of the land package drilled so far. Chapman explained why the sediment-hosted copper deposit is attractive from an exploration standpoint: it outcrops at surface, dips gently eastward, and the mineralogy and geology are already well understood from core drilling completed to date. That means the team is essentially following known mineralisation rather than searching blind. He described a potential hub-and-spoke development model, where a central processing plant handles ore trucked in from satellite deposits as they are discovered across the land package. He said this structure means the project can expand as exploration continues. Looking ahead, Chapman said he will be watching whether the mineralogy of outlying deposits matches the main zone, and whether mineralisation remains tied to the unconformity between the basement rock and overlying sediments - the same horizon that controls copper at the main Aouam target.
