Locksley Resources, Ltd. (ASX: LKY,OTC:LKYRF; OTCQX: LKYRYF) announced that recent structural mapping has significantly expanded the scale of its target mineralized corridor at the Desert Antimony Mine (DAM) Prospect. A new parallel structural target was also identified in this mapping, enhancing the potential for a larger mineralized system across multiple zones. Locksley believes this expanded target enhances Mojave’s position as a strategic U.S. critical minerals hub, aligned with accelerating domestic supply-chain initiatives. The structural geology mapping was completed late in the third calendar quarter of 2025. Additional details can be found here: https:cdn-api.markitdigital.comapiman-gatewayASXasx-research1.0file2924-03006166-6A1289419&v=undefined .

‘This second structural mapping program at our Mojave Project has markedly advanced our geological understanding of the project and confirmed the substantial exploration potential of this critical district,’ said Kerrie Matthews , Locksley Resources CEO. ‘The sixfold expansion of the Desert Antimony Mine (DAM) target horizon has fundamentally changed the scale of the opportunity, demonstrating the potential for a much larger mineralized system than originally contemplated. These outstanding results strongly validate our rapid exploration and development strategy.’

In addition to the expansion of Locksley’s antimony target, the mapping also identified several other key opportunities:

  • Regional mapping identified lamprophyre dykes, highlighting potential for additional critical mineral occurrences including carbonatites.
  • Mojave emerging as a district-scale critical minerals hub, strategically aligned with accelerating U.S. onshoring policies.
  • High grade silver assays up to 216 g/t Ag returned from Hendricks Prospect, alongside anomalous Zn, Pb and Cu, including a broader polymetallic system.

The company said that a third phase structural mapping program is expected to commence next month to continue building geological understanding of the project as well as identify new targets.

Locksley Resources ( https://www.locksleyresources.com.au ) is an Australian-based explorer focused on critical minerals and base metals, with assets in both the U.S. and Australia . The company is actively advancing its U.S. Asset, the Mojave Project, in California , targeting rare earths elements (REE) and antimony (The Desert Antimony Mine). The company also has a strategic collaboration with Rice University to develop DeepSolv for domestic processing of North American antimony. This agreement is a cornerstone of Locksley’s U.S. Critical Minerals and Energy Resilience Strategy to accelerate ‘mine-to-market’ deployment of antimony in the U.S.

USA News Group News Commentary

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.

USA News Group News Commentary Gold smashed through $4,000 per ounce for the first time in history this week, surging over 50% year-to-date as the US government shutdown, ongoing Fed rate cuts, and global economic uncertainty drive unprecedented safe-haven demand [1] . While gold prices break records, gold mining companies are experiencing even more dramatic profit expansion because production costs remain relatively stable while metal prices soar, creating windfall margins that translate every additional dollar in gold prices into pure profit. This historic divergence between surging gold values and contained mining costs positions gold companies from explorers through producers, including GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Equinox Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: EQX) (TSX: EQX), IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE: IAG) (TSX: IMG), Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT), and Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV: LG,OTC:LGCXF) (OTCQB: LGCXF).

Wall Street analysts are racing to raise targets, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting $4,900 by late 2026 [2] and Michael Langford projecting $4,300 within six months as central banks accelerate diversification into gold [3] . With rate cuts expected through year-end creating ideal conditions for gold’s continued ascent, mining companies with operational leverage to rising prices stand positioned to capture extraordinary value before the broader market fully prices in this structural shift in precious metals economics [4] .

GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) is a Canadian junior exploration company that recently commenced its first-ever diamond drilling program at the Copeçal Gold Project in Brazil’s Juruena Gold Province, a historically productive region that has yielded substantial gold discoveries since the late 1970s. The company is testing high-priority gold targets on a property that was previously explored by AngloGold Ashanti , one of the world’s largest gold mining companies.

The 3,681-hectare Copeçal project sits in Mato Grosso, Brazil , approximately 60 kilometers from Alta Floresta . AngloGold Ashanti invested approximately $1 million in systematic exploration work here between 2010 and 2016, identifying a 6-kilometer-long gold-in-soil anomaly before shifting focus to other global projects. GoldHaven is now testing whether this surface gold signature extends to depth and could indicate an economic gold deposit.

The first drill hole has already intersected approximately 30 meters of saprolite (deeply weathered rock) before entering strongly sheared and hydrothermally altered basement gneiss. The rock shows pervasive chlorite, sericite, and quartz alteration. These are classic indicators of hydrothermal fluid activity associated with gold deposits in similar geological settings.

‘The start of our maiden drill program marks a transformational milestone for GoldHaven Resources ,’ said Rob Birmingham , President and CEO. ‘This moment is the result of systematic exploration, including a 107-hole auger program and ongoing VLF surveys that refined our targets and mapped structural controls. Early geological observations from COP-25 -001 show strong deformation and alteration where saprolite meets basement rock, exactly what we hoped to see. While we await assay results, these features validate our targeting model and align with mineralized systems across the Juruena Gold Province.’

The 1,200-meter drilling program uses Ecodrill with NQ-size diamond core (47.6mm diameter) to drill 5-6 angled holes up to 150 meters deep. The program is testing two zones called East and West, both showing persistent gold-in-soil signatures extending across 3-kilometer strike lengths. Core samples are being processed at ALS Global laboratories, with sample preparation in Cuiabá and assays in Belo Horizonte . Assay results are expected in 4-6 weeks.

‘Copeçal has all the hallmarks of a compelling greenfields opportunity,’ said Jon Hill , former Exploration Manager for AngloGold Ashanti during the project’s initial discovery phase, and current Country Manager in Brazil for GoldHaven , in a previous announcement . ‘As part of the original team that identified the area, I’ve always believed this project warranted drill testing. It sits in an underexplored but highly fertile mineral belt, and thanks to AngloGold’s foundational work, we have robust geochemical and geophysical datasets to guide us.’

GoldHaven’s exploration work leading up to this drilling program included 107 auger drill penetrations and VLF-EM geophysical surveys that helped pinpoint the best drilling locations. The Copeçal asset benefits from year-round road access via highway MT-325 and sits just 60 kilometers from Alta Floresta , a regional hub serviced by daily commercial air connections. The project is positioned among a growing cluster of significant developments including G Mining’s multi-million-ounce Tocantinzinho deposit.

Parallel to Copeçal drilling, GoldHaven has advanced comprehensive summer field programs across its wholly-owned Magno and Three Guardsmen assets in northern British Columbia . The Magno Project footprint has been strategically extended by 5,159 hectares through targeted claim staking.

GoldHaven’s project portfolio includes claim packages totaling 123,900 hectares distributed across three Brazilian projects, supported by a comprehensive 43-101 Technical Report for Copeçal.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:

Equinox Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: EQX) (TSX: EQX) delivered record consolidated production of 236,470 ounces in Q3 2025, marking the strongest quarterly performance in company history. The Valentine Gold Mine in Newfoundland poured first gold ahead of schedule on September 14 , while the Greenstone Gold Mine in Ontario showed meaningful operational improvements with mining rates exceeding 185,000 tonnes per day and mill grades improving 13% quarter-over-quarter to 1.05 grams per tonne gold.

Equinox Gold delivered a solid third quarter, producing a record consolidated 236,470 ounces of gold, reflecting the strength of our expanded portfolio following the merger completed in June,’ said Darren Hall , CEO of Equinox Gold . ‘Even after the divestment of our Nevada assets, we remain on track to deliver in the mid-range of our consolidated annual gold production guidance of 785,000 to 915,000 ounces.’

The company strengthened its balance sheet during the quarter by reducing debt by US$139 million and maintaining cash and equivalents of $359 million at September 30, 2025 . With Valentine ramping toward consistent nameplate capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per year by Q2 2026 and Greenstone positioned for a strong Q4, Equinox Gold anticipates finishing 2025 in the mid-range of consolidated guidance and carrying momentum into 2026.

IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE: IAG) (TSX: IMG) announced assay results from its ongoing 2025 drilling programs at the Nelligan and Monster Lake projects in central Quebec , with 27 diamond drill holes totaling 11,583 metres at Nelligan and 16 holes totaling 10,137.5 metres at Monster Lake confirming extensions of mineralized zones. The combined exploration camp, located 60 kilometres southwest of Chibougamau with both projects accessible by road and just 15 kilometres apart, hosts nearly 9 million ounces of resources including Nelligan’s 3.1 million ounces Indicated and 5.2 million ounces Inferred resources alongside Monster Lake’s high-grade 84,200 ounces Indicated and 488,500 ounces Inferred resources.

‘I want to congratulate our exploration team as they continue to expand the mineralized envelope of Nelligan and intersect high-grade veins at Monster Lake,’ said Renaud Adams , CEO of IAMGOLD . ‘The Nelligan and Monster Lake camp has seen rapid growth from a relatively conservative drill program prior to this year, and these results confirm our decision to continue to increase our exploration activities within this camp. When you combine Nelligan with the high-grade satellite Monster Lake deposit, there are nearly 9 million ounces of resources in this mining camp already, positioning Nelligan among the largest gold projects in Canada with significant potential for further growth.’

Drilling at Nelligan successfully extended the deposit further down-plunge to the east below 600 to 700 metres vertical depth with the mineralized sequence remaining open along strike and at depth, while Monster Lake drilling confirmed typical high-grade veins persisting in the general down-plunge of the Megane Zone. The company plans to continue infill and step-out drilling to convert Inferred Resources into the Indicated category while testing deeper extensions and lateral expansions of both deposits.

Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT) achieved first gold pour at its Ahafo North Project in Ghana on September 19, 2025 , marking a critical milestone toward commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2025. The project, located at Afrisipakrom approximately 30 kilometres from the company’s Ahafo South operations, is expected to deliver between 275,000 and 325,000 ounces of gold annually over a 13-year mine life while creating approximately 560 permanent and 1,000 contracted roles.

‘The first gold pour at Ahafo North represents a major operational milestone that validates years of careful planning, engineering, and construction, and builds on the strength of our world-class portfolio,’ said Tom Palmer , CEO of Newmont . ‘As we progress toward commercial production, we remain focused on generating enduring value for our shareholders, workforce, host communities, and the government of Ghana .’

The achievement follows the completion of key development phases including ore stockpiling that began in late 2024 and commissioning of critical infrastructure such as processing circuits, mining support facilities, and a tailings storage facility. Following the divestment of the Akyem mine in April 2025 , Ahafo North will become the company’s second operational site in the country and represents Newmont’s third mining investment in Ghana .

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV: LG,OTC:LGCXF) (OTCQB: LGCXF) announced that its Exploration Plan of Operations has begun National Environmental Policy Act review by the Federal Bureau of Land Management for the Santa Fe Mine project in Nevada .

An ongoing land-use dispute in British Columbia’s mineral-rich Golden Triangle has escalated into a full-blown legal battle as Tudor Gold (TSXV:TUD,OTC Pink:TDRRF)takes the province and rival Seabridge Gold (TSX:SEA,NYSE:SA) to court over tunneling rights linked to one of Canada’s largest undeveloped mining projects.

Tudor filed a civil claim in the BC Supreme Court on September 22 and a separate petition for judicial review on October 3, alleging that the province acted improperly in granting Seabridge permission to tunnel through Tudor’s mineral claims for the construction of underground infrastructure tied to the massive Kerr–Sulphurets–Mitchell (KSM) project.

The KSM project, owned entirely by Seabridge, is described as one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold and copper deposits.

Tudor, meanwhile, operates the neighboring Treaty Creek property, where exploration since the early 2010s has identified major gold and copper resources at the Goldstorm deposit.

In its filings, Tudor is asking the court to declare that a conditional mineral reserve, which is imposed by the province to protect Seabridge’s tunneling rights, does not apply to its claims, or that British Columbia’s authorities exceeded their legal powers in granting the rights of occupation.

Failing that, Tudor is seeking compensation for expropriation or damages related to misrepresentation.

“We have a new team at Tudor Gold with a significant amount of experience exploring, developing, and mining in the Golden Triangle,” said Tudor president and CEO Joe Ovsenek.

“In assessing the various aspects of the Treaty Creek Project, we filed the claim as we believed it was necessary to preserve our rights impacted by a limitation period; however, we believe the best path forward is to resolve this dispute through negotiation,” Ovsenek added.

Tudor’s case also targets a September 2024 decision by the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship (WLRS) granting Seabridge a renewed Licence of Occupation (LoO) for the tunnel corridor.

The 2024 LoO replaced an earlier 2014 licence and provided Seabridge the right to occupy a narrow stretch of Crown land that overlaps Tudor’s mineral claims.

In a July 2024 statement, former Tudor CEO and President, Ken Konkin, wrote: “It is the company’s position that any LoO which allows access for KSM Mining to construct the MTT tunnels through Tudor’s mineral claims is subject to the prior rights of Tudor to its mineral tenures. As a result, the company will continue to strongly oppose any LoO and MTT Tunnel route planned by KSM Mining that would impair Tudor’s newly discovered Goldstorm Deposit.’

The company insists that a Licence of Occupation cannot interfere with the rights of a mineral claim holder, and that the government has a duty to safeguard those rights.

Seabridge, however, maintains that the provincial authorizations are valid and were granted in line with established procedures.

“We have attempted to find terms to avoid a conflict like this with Tudor, but their demands have been unreasonable,” said Seabridge chair and CEO Rudi Fronk in a recent statement. “We are confident that the Province has acted within the law and that the various authorizations for the MTT are appropriate and reliable.”

Fronk added that the KSM project has been deemed in the public interest. Currently, it is already backed by environmental assessment approvals, a pre-feasibility study demonstrating economic viability, and multiple construction permits.

He also accused Tudor of pursuing multiple overlapping court actions in an effort to delay KSM’s progress.

“Tudor now has three concurrent, separate legal actions all directed at voiding authorizations for the MTT. In our view, if Tudor thinks it must bring three separate legal actions, it probably lacks confidence in the success of any one of them,” Fronk added.

For now, the 2024 Licence of Occupation remains in effect as the province and Seabridge prepare to defend it in court. The company said it will continue advancing development work on the KSM project for the benefit of its shareholders.

The silver price kept surging on Thursday (October 9), breaking US$51 per ounce.

The white metal has never risen past US$51, and has only traded at the US$50 level twice in the past — once in 2011, and once in 1980, when the Hunt brothers attempted to corner the market.

Silver price chart, October 2 to October 9, 2025.

Known for lagging behind gold before outperforming, silver is now ahead of its sister metal in terms of percentage gains — it’s up just over 65 percent year-to-date, while gold has risen around 53 percent.

Both metals are now at historic highs, with gold breaking US$4,000 per ounce this week. The US government shutdown has helped drive gold’s latest rise, but it’s also seeing underlying support from strong central bank buying, global geopolitical uncertainty, concerns about fiat currencies and expectations of lower interest rates.

Silver acts as both a precious and industrial metal, meaning that it’s driven by many of the same factors as gold, but also has additional sources of demand. According to the Silver Institute, industrial demand for silver reached a record 680.5 million ounces in 2024, driven by usage in grid infrastructure, vehicle electrification and photovoltaics.

Total silver demand was down 3 percent year-on-year in 2024, but still exceeded supply for the fourth year in a row, resulting in a deficit of 148.9 million ounces for the year.

Watch five experts share their thoughts on the outlook for silver.

With silver now past its all-time high, investors are wondering about its long-term prospects.

While many experts have lofty expectations for silver, including triple-digit price predictions, there’s a broad consensus that the white metal may correct before continuing on upward.

However, there’s also recognition that silver’s situation today is different than it was previously.

‘If you have something happen with the supply, and then on top of that at some point you’re running into issues with debt loads and currencies, that would certainly leave us probably into a much different environment for silver than either 1980 or 2011,’ said Chris Marcus, founder of Arcadia Economics.

Golconda Gold CEO, Ravi Sood commented: ‘Galaxy achieved record gold production in Q3, totalling 3,588 ounces of gold, an 18% increase on Q2 2025 and a 51% increase on Q3 2024. This was largely due to increased ore mined from the Princeton orebody, increasing 81% compared to Q2 2025 due to commencing mining at the Princeton Top section during the quarter. Production in the first three quarters of 2025 is 74% ahead of the same period in 2024. With the materially higher gold price, the Company is generating significant operational cash flow and continues to de-leverage its balance sheet and invest in further expansion at Galaxy, including refurbishment of the existing sub-vertical shaft and associated infrastructure to allow mining on a second level at the Galaxy ore body by the end of 2025, adding an additional ore source to the processing plant, which has significant spare capacity 1 .’

These results represent the first six holes from Kobo’s ongoing 12,000–15,000 m diamond drilling program launched on September 4, 2025. The current campaign is focused on systematically expanding known mineralized zones at the Jagger and Road Cut Zones while testing the interpreted structural corridor that links them. Drilling is also continuing to evaluate the Contact Zone Fault ‘( CZ Fault ‘), an important regional structure believed to provide deep fluid pathways for gold mineralisation at Kossou.

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: ‘The latest intersections continue to demonstrate the strength of gold mineralisation within the Road Cut and Jagger structural zones. These results are confirming the continuity of gold-bearing shears and the importance of the Contact Zone Fault as a potential regional control on mineralisation. Particularly, the consistency of gold mineralisation at the Jagger Zone, from surface to greater than 180 m depth, highlights the continuity and strength of the system.’ He continued: ‘Ongoing drilling will allow us to further test these controls, define extensions along strike and at depth, and continue building a comprehensive geological model for Kossou as we progress toward a maiden Resource Estimate on the project.’

Road Cut Zone Highlights

KDD0095, KDD0098, and KDD0099 were drilled along a 150-metre strike length on Sections RCZ500, RCZ600, and RCZ650 (see Figure 1 for drill-hole locations). Full assay results are presented in Table 1 .

The most significant intersection was returned from KDD0095 on Section RCZ500, averaging 17.0 m at 3.87 g/t Au from 22.0 m, including 9.0 m at 6.84 g/t Au from 23.0 m (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). This intercept occurs approximately 20 m beneath artisanal workings and is hosted within a shear zone previously intersected in KDD0012 (11.0 m at 1.71 g/t Au) and KDD0091 (15.55 m at 2.30 g/t Au) . The shear zone parallels the main CZ Fault and lies roughly 60 m west of this structure, suggesting a close spatial and structural relationship.

KDD0098 , drilled on Section RCZ600 , intersected 6.0 m at 1.48 g/t Au from 157.0 m within a shear zone exhibiting typical alteration and quartz veining approximately 12.0 m from the CZ Fault. The mineralisation occurs about 120.0 m below surface. Several additional lower-grade intervals were also intersected within 50.0 m of the CZ Fault in sheared basalt (see Figure 4).

KDD0099 , located approximately 50 m south of KDD0098 on Section RCZ650, intersected 5.0 m at 2.82 g/t Au from 170.0 m directly on the CZ Fault, confirming the presence of gold mineralisation along this important regional structure (see Figure 5).

The intensity of shearing, alteration and quartz veining in the three drill holes in the vicinity of the artisanal mine and CZ Fault is very encouraging for further gold mineralisation and will be further tested with additional diamond drilling.

Jagger Zone Highlights

KDD0094 , KDD0096 , and KDD0097 were drilled on Section JZ600 to evaluate the core mineralisation previously identified and to test the continuity of Structure JZ6 near surface and at depth (see Figures 6 and 7).

KDD0096 intersected 5.0 m at 1.41 g/t Au associated with Structure JZ6, approximately 65 m below surface. KDD0097 , which targeted the 8.0 m at 3.72 g/t Au intersection in KDD0028 at depth, returned 2.0 m at 0.58 g/t Au . Drilling confirms that well-defined shears extend to at least 240 m below surface, with gold grades corresponding to the density of quartz veining within these structures.

Additional intersections of 4.0 m at 2.30 g/t Au and 6.0 m at 1.52 g/t Au in KDD0097 , associated with Structures JZ1 and JZ4 respectively, demonstrate good continuity between 150 m and 180 m depth along the shear zones. These results further validate the Company’s structural model, indicating that gold mineralisation is hosted within a series of steep, westerly dipping shears closely associated with quartz-feldspar porphyry and diorite intrusives within the basaltic volcanic sequence.

Next Steps: Progressing the 2025 Drill Program and Advancing Resource Definition at Kossou

To date, the Company has completed nine diamond drill holes (2,016 m) of a planned 15-hole program (3,600 m) at the Road Cut Zone, and eight holes (2,820 m) of 23 planned holes (11,300 m) at the Jagger and Jagger South Zones. Two drill rigs remain active on site, with drilling continuing to test extensions along strike and at depth across both zones.

Geological modelling of the Jagger and Road Cut Zones is ongoing, with new data being integrated to refine the Company’s structural interpretation and support the definition of mineralized envelopes in advance of Kossou’s maiden mineral resource estimate.

Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) (‘Homerun’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that our technical partners in the Belmonte (BA) Solar Glass Manufacturing project have confirmed that the exceptional purity of the silica sand from the Company’s resources in the Santa Maria Eterna District will allow the Company to offer customers a portfolio of solar glass that is 100% free of added antimony compounds.

In traditional solar glass manufacturing, antimony improves refining, prevents oxidation of iron ions, resulting in higher transmittance and fewer defects. However, the global solar industry is at an inflection point. Concerns are rising about the environmental toxicity and recyclability challenges posed by antimony, a heavy metal flagged by the USEPA as hazardous at even minuscule concentrations. Leading regulatory bodies in Europe and the U.S. are increasingly emphasizing antimony-free standards for solar glass, with Germany’s latest PV manufacturing guidelines and the EU’s Ecolabel directive setting new environmental boundaries for imported and locally produced panels.

Homerun’s technical partners advise that the Company will produce solar glass that is 100% free of added antimony from the initiation of production. Equipment and furnace design are already prepared, with the same or less CAPEX required. Operational adjustments are minor and within the existing specifications and should result in reduced OPEX since antimony substitutes are less costly. This is only possible because of the exceptionally low oxidizable iron ions levels, below 20ppm, of the Company’s HPQ silica sand in Santa Maria Eterna, Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil.

Bans and restrictions on antimony use in solar glass are increasing global demand for high-purity, low-iron silica sand as glassmakers shift to safer, more sustainable feedstocks that can deliver the required optical clarity and durability without chemical additives. As antimony-free manufacturing becomes the industry standard, only silica sand with extremely low iron content is suitable for premium solar glass. This should add demand and add increased value in the marketplace for these scarce low iron feedstocks.

This innovation comes at a crucial moment for the global solar sector. Demand for cleaner PV technologies is soaring, as industry analysts anticipate solar module and glass waste volumes reaching 1.5-1.7 million tons by 2030, with antimony residues presenting long-term risks for people and ecosystems. The ability to supply 100% antimony-free solar glass positions Homerun Resources as a market leader delivering both superior performance and uncompromising health and environmental standards and developing complete recycling toward a true circular solar economy.

‘Starting our operations without adding antimony represents a decisive economic and environmental milestone for Homerun. By leveraging the exceptional purity of our silica sand resources, we can combine cutting-edge technology with the highest standards of environmental responsibility, positioning the Company as a leader in the global solar glass industry,’ stated Odir Pedrazzi, Vice-President of Operations for Homerun.

Independent test results from institutions like Switzerland’s SPF confirm that antimony-free solar glass offers the highest efficiency and resilience against photo-degradation among all major glass formats. [1]

Saskatchewan has introduced a new royalty framework for lithium production, marking a major step toward supporting the province’s growing role in Canada’s critical minerals sector.

The amendments to The Subsurface Mineral Royalty Regulations, 2017 formally establish a 3 percent Crown royalty on the value of brine mineral sales, coupled with a two-year holiday for new productive capacity.

Provincial officials said the change aligns Saskatchewan’s royalties for lithium with those already applied to potash, salt, and sodium sulphate, and keeps the province competitive with leading jurisdictions worldwide.

“Lithium is a critical mineral that is expected to see strong demand and growth in the decades ahead, and Saskatchewan is well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity,” Energy and Resources Minister Colleen Young said.

“By putting this royalty framework in place now, we are providing certainty for industry, while ensuring the people of Saskatchewan benefit as this sector develops,” Young added.

Industry participants welcomed the move, calling it a clear signal that the province intends to be a serious player in the global lithium supply chain.

Canada-based explorer EMP Metals (CSE:EMPS,OTCQB:EMPPF) described the rate as internationally competitive and a meaningful boost for project economics.

“This is very welcome news. The government of the province of Saskatchewan has once again proven itself to be supportive of lithium production in the province,” EMP Metals CEO Karl Kottmeier said. “This is a highly competitive royalty rate internationally, and a two-year royalty holiday on new production immediately makes a positive impact on financial modelling of what is already a compelling business case for our Project Aurora lithium production project.”

Grounded Lithium (TSXV:GRD) President and CEO Gregg Smith also noted that the policy encourages further investment while recognizing the high upfront costs of developing processing capacity.

“This new regulatory framework provides a reasonable royalty rate while also recognizing the significant risk and initial investment companies make in processing facilities to ultimately achieve commercial production,” Smith said.

Saskatchewan has emerged as one of Canada’s top destinations for mining investment. The Fraser Institute’s Annual Survey of Mining Companies ranked it the country’s leading jurisdiction, with the province projected to attract over US$7 billion in mining investment this year — more than a quarter of Canada’s total.

The lithium framework also aligns with the province’s broader Critical Minerals Strategy, launched in 2023 to position Saskatchewan as a key contributor to Canada’s resource independence and energy transition.

The plan targets a 15 percent share of national mineral exploration by 2030, the doubling of critical mineral production, and the expansion of existing potash, uranium, and helium output.
