Asara Resources continues drilling to expand its Massan deposit within the Kada gold project in Guinea, with Phase 2 assay results covering 21 drill holes totalling 2 036 m. Recent intercepts, including 40 m at 0.9 g/t gold, and a newly identified mineralised zone about 700 m south of the deposit's centre, support Asara's plan to grow the resource ahead of an updated mineral resource estimate due in August 2026.
Guinea targets regional gold refining hubGuinea aims to become a regional gold refining hub after President Mamady Doumbouya banned raw gold exports in late June.

Simandou exports accelerate; CHEC's track record cited elsewhereExports from the Rio Tinto–Chinalco Simandou iron-ore project reached 2.2-million tonnes in May, up from 1.3-million tonnes in April, with full capacity of 120-million tonnes a year expected within 30 months. China Harbour Engineering Company, Rio Tinto's Simandou partner, has been appointed EPC contractor for South Africa's Zulti South project, citing its Guinea experience.
