A busy session across the junior and mid-tier mining space sees Greatland Gold Set the tone with a materially upgraded production outlook, while a clutch of smaller operators report drilling results, plant openings, and fundraises that keep the sector's news flow dense. Rare earths, uranium, lithium, copper, and battery recycling all feature, reflecting the breadth of commodity exposure among London-listed miners today.
Greatland lifts full-year guidance on record cash quarter
Greatland Gold (LSE:GGP) upgraded its FY26 production outlook to around, or slightly above, the upper end of its 260,000-310,000oz Guidance range after the March quarter delivered a $260m cash build, a record for the company. The shares trade at 728.9p, down 0.96%, a modest retreat that likely reflects broader market conditions rather than any scepticism about the operational update. The result confirms Greatland's transition into a self-funding, cash-generative gold producer is firmly on track.
Power Metal completes East Hawkrock uranium drill campaign
Power Metal Resources (LSE:POW) has finished a nine-hole, 2,120.4m diamond drilling programme at East Hawkrock under its Uranium Joint Venture with Fermi Exploration. The campaign validates a structural and hydrothermal framework consistent with unconformity-related uranium systems, with assays still pending. Power Metal trades at 13.25p, off 2.75% on the day, as the market waits for results that will determine whether the geological thesis translates into mineralisation.
Mkango opens commercial rare-earth recycling plant in Germany
Mkango Resources (LSE:MKA) marked a significant milestone as its subsidiary HyProMag officially opens a commercial-scale rare earth magnet recycling and manufacturing plant in Pforzheim, Germany. The facility uses the HPMS process developed by the University of Birmingham and exclusively licensed to HyProMag, positioning the company at the centre of Europe's push to build a domestic rare-earth supply chain. Mkango shares slip 2.42% To 46.35p, though the plant opening represents the most concrete commercial step the company has taken to date in converting its rare-earth strategy into operating reality.
Technology Minerals commissions copper and aluminium recovery kit
Technology Minerals (LSE:TM1) commissioned new separation equipment at 48.35%-owned Recyclus that will recover copper and aluminium as discrete saleable outputs alongside black mass, broadening the revenue base of its battery recycling operation. To fund the rollout, Technology Minerals (LSE:TM1) provides a £100,000 Bridge loan to Recyclus. The stock surged 13.7% To 0.078p, the standout mover in today's session, as investors respond to a tangible step toward monetising additional material streams from the recycling process.
Premier African raises £1m to push Zulu Lithium plant to commissioning
Premier African Minerals (LSE:PREM) raised £1m through a share subscription to fund commissioning of its Zulu Lithium Xinhai spodumene flotation plant in Zimbabwe. The fundraise is a targeted injection to get the plant over the line rather than a broader capital raise, signalling the project is close to operational status. Shares fall 6.29% To 0.0164p, a dilution-driven reaction typical of subscription-funded micro-cap raises at this stage of development.
Panther Metals confirms continuity at Winston tailings with fourth assay batch
Panther Metals (LSE:PALM) released its fourth batch of assay results from 22 Vibracore collars at the Winston tailings project, confirming lateral and depth continuity across multiple high-grade metals. The data feeds directly into Panther's ongoing resource estimate programme. The stock edges up 1.12% To 90.0p, a measured positive response as each successive assay batch adds definition to what the company is building toward a formal resource statement.
Great Southern Copper confirms high-grade continuity at Mostaza
Great Southern Copper (LSE:GSCU) reported final Phase III assay results at its Mostaza copper-silver discovery in Chile, with intercepts reaching 4.24% Cu And 233 g/t Ag, confirming down-dip and along-strike continuity. The system remains open for expansion, keeping the exploration upside intact.
Orosur advances El Cedro after high-grade soil sampling
Orosur Mining (LSE:OMI) completed soil sampling at its El Cedro prospect in Colombia, returning high-grade gold results across a around 2km by 3km area. A drone magnetic survey has also been completed to help define near-term drill targets, moving the prospect meaningfully closer to a drill programme. Orosur shares rose 2.39% to 20.222p, a positive response to results that materially expanded the target footprint at El Cedro.
Mila Resources soars on Yarrol's highest-grade intercept
Mila Resources reported assay results from three RC holes at its Yarrol gold project in Queensland that includes the project's highest-grade intercept to date, extending and confirming mineralisation continuity beyond the historic resource as the company advances toward an initial JORC mineral resource estimate. The company characterises the results as a step-change in confidence at Yarrol ahead of a formal resource definition programme.
