😎 Defiance Hits Super Wide Intercept

Defiance Silver Corp. (TSXV: DEF) (OTCQX: DNCVF) (FSE: D4E) (WKN: A1JQW5) has just reported assay results on 4 drill holes in the San Acacio Project, Zacatecas, Mexico.

Highlights:

41.83 m of 157.30 g/t Ag

9.86 m of 98.52 g/t Ag

4.80 m of 349.37 g/t Ag

The interesting fact we should not overlook is the ultra-short but equally ultra-high-grade intercept of 6014 g/t AgEq found over 26 cm on the same hole as the headline – indicating the possibility of higher grade deeper in the system.

Another 6 holes yet to be reported.

Nice.

🥊 China and Russia Competing For Uranium

Caught in a geopolitical whirlwind, Kazakhstan, the global leader in uranium production, is fielding increasing demand from major powers. Typically catering to Russia, the nation now sees rising interest from the US and China, causing a shift in trade dynamics.

Kazakhstan's recent decisions – letting a Russian firm control a uranium mine and committing to a major nuclear fuel deal with China – are stirring up competition and reshaping geopolitical landscapes. These sheds light on China's burgeoning ambitions in Central Asia, its impending clashes with Russia, and the global importance of Central Asia's resources.

It's a wake-up call for international players to keep a keen eye on this region.

😋 Great Copper Hit In Namibia

Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM) (OTCQB: PNTZF) announced drill results from the East 600 planned open pit, at the Kombat mine in Namibia. These holes were drilled to confirm known historical mineral resources drilled previously by the prior owner from the underground.

Highlights:

76 m at 1.48%Cu, 8.9g/t Ag from 22 m

10 m, 1.14% Cu

The Company is focused on exploration and re-development of the previously producing Kombat Mine.

Previous mine, high-grade, Namibia. Checks a lot of boxes.
