😩 Fraud In Nickel – Again

In a twist no one could have possibly seen coming (sarcasm), yet another trading house, Kataman Metals LLC, has discovered the hard way that their "nickel" cargo was just a collection of near-worthless materials. This shocking revelation follows the minor $600 million hiccup experienced by Trafigura Group earlier.

The once-reputable metals trading sector is facing a teensy bit of a trust issue, as it turns out that 54 tons of "nickel" in a Rotterdam warehouse were really just artistically arranged stones. Both Trafigura and Kataman's delightful surprises trace back to companies linked with businessman Prateek Gupta.

Because, why not add a little more drama to the world of nickel trading?

👏 15.5 Metres of 30.72 g/t

Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) announced drill core assay results from its maiden drill program at the Antino Gold Project in southeastern Suriname.

Highlights:

• 15.50 m of 30.72 g/t

• 7.00 m of 8.74 g/t Au

• 8.50 m of 6.17 g/t Au

Founders has completed drilling approximately 3,500 m out of the intended 10,000 m program. The outstanding drilling will primarily target additional infill and expansion activities spanning the area's almost two-kilometre stretch, which is a segment of the broader 8+ kilometre Antino Gold Trend.
