NexGold Intersects 23.73 g/t Gold over 5.3 Metres and 24.65 g/t Gold over 2.2 Metres at the Goldboro Open Pit Gold Project
TORONTO, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG; OTCQX: NXGCF) ('NexGold' or the 'Company') is pleased to provide additional drill results from a recently-completed 26,854-metre diamond drill program initially announced on January 22, 2025 at the Company's Goldboro Open Pit Gold Project ('Goldboro') in Nova Scotia. The drill program is primarily designed to infill specific areas of the open pit Mineral Resource identified to improve geological and grade continuity and potentially upgrade certain areas of Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources. The assay results for an additional 12 infill diamond drill holes (BR-25-560, 574 to 576, 580, 581, 583, 587 to 589, 591 and 604) totalling 2,163.0 metres, were from drilling in the proposed east pit of the Goldboro Open Pit Gold Project (Figure 1; Tables 1 and 2). Kevin Bullock, President and CEO, stated: ' The high-grade intercepts in recent drilling in the east pit will be important to ongoing work on the Goldboro Mineral Resource and mine planning. Goldboro continues to demonstrate the presence of high-grade zones, near surface, within the planned open pits. We are encountering this style of mineralization at open pit depths with all intersected zones projecting to surface. We anticipate final assays from the full drill program to be returned in the coming weeks and look forward to using that information in an updated Mineral Resource Estimate.'

Rio Tinto launches ore sorting demonstration project at its Havre-Saint-Pierre mine
HAVRE-SAINT-PIERRE, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rio Tinto is investing CA$7.6 million in an industrial demonstration project to assess the integration of an ore sorting technology at its Lac Tio mine located in Havre-Saint-Pierre. The Government of Quebec will contribute CA$2.5 million to this initiative through its Support Program for the Scale-up of Mineral Processing or Primary Transformation for Critical and Strategic Minerals, administered by the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests. The project aims to test a technology that will allow the sorting of ore directly at the source based on titanium and scandium content, two minerals considered critical and strategic, even at low grades. By separating commercially exploitable rock from waste rock more efficiently, this method could reduce the amount of material transported between the mine and Rio Tinto Iron and Titanium Quebec Operations' Metallurgical and Critical Minerals Complex in Sorel-Tracy, contributing to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and the costs associated with transporting and processing ore. Rio Tinto Iron and Titanium and Diamonds' Managing Director Sophie Bergeron said: 'The use of ore sorting technology represents a tangible opportunity to optimise our processes right from the extraction stage, allowing us to maximise value from our resources, while reducing the emissions associated with transporting and processing ore. The support from the Government of Quebec highlights the key role that Rio Tinto plays in the critical and strategic minerals production essential to the energy transition. It's also a unifying project for our employees, the community of Havre-Saint-Pierre and the community of Ekuanitshit, with whom we share a desire to evolve our practices in a responsible manner.' Minister of Natural Resources and Forests and Minister Responsible for the Bas-Saint-Laurent Region and the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine Region Maïté Blanchette Vézina said: 'Our government is proud to support Rio Tinto Iron and Titanium in its ore valorisation project. In addition to encouraging innovation through the creation of new processes or the improvement of existing ones, this type of initiative helps accelerate the transformation of critical and strategic minerals in Quebec, reinforcing the province's position as a global leader. In a complex geopolitical context and growing global demand for minerals, we must seize these opportunities to advance Quebec's mining projects.' This full-scale industrial demonstration will also allow the assessment of potential optimisations of the ore pre-treatment process at the Sorel-Tracy plant, improve mineral resource management, and explore options for accessing parts of the deposit that were previously considered unprofitable. This has the potential to allow consideration of a review of the mining plan and extension of the mine's lifespan. The project will be deployed in two phases. In 2025, the activities will focus on engineering, the commissioning of the ore sorting circuit and technological validation. In 2026, additional equipment will be integrated to automate the process and produce multiple batches of enriched ore.

Indonesia's new coal pricing rule sparks uncertainty, resistance from Chinese firms
Indonesia's decision to force coal exporters to adopt a government-set benchmark price has rattled Chinese firms – its biggest customers – and triggered warnings that the move could erode Jakarta's edge in the global market. Advertisement The regulation went into effect in March, after Indonesian Energy Minister Bahlil Lahadalia announced that coal exporters would need to start using the government's benchmark price, known as Harga Batubara Acuan (HBA). Bahlil said using the HBA would ensure that Indonesian coal was not sold internationally at prices below the local benchmark, as independent pricing agencies had significantly reduced their rates compared to Indonesia's benchmark. Historically, the government used the HBA to determine royalty fees for coal miners, while the Indonesia Coal Index was used in pricing transactions. The new policy would mean that international sales would need to align with the HBA. The Indonesian Energy, Mineral, and Coal Suppliers Association (Aspebindo) welcomed the move, with its deputy chairman Fathul Nugroho saying that adopting the HBA price would give Indonesia greater control over its coal pricing in the global market. Advertisement 'Using HBA will better reflect rising mining costs, including increasing stripping ratios, land acquisition expenses, and fuel prices,' Fathul said when the regulation was announced at the end of February.
