◆ Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSXV: MMG) (“MMG,” or “Company”) has achieved multiple exploration milestones at its La Plata Copper Project and Keno Silver Project. ◆ Newmont top-up financing closed: We are encouraged to see additional share purchases from Newmont Corp. Newmont exercised its ‘top-up right' to buy additional shares of MMG to maintain its 9.5% stake in the company. Newmont purchased 577,776 shares at $0.36 per share, higher than the company's current market price. We see this as a vote of confidence by a tier-1 miner in MMG's resource potential. ◆ La Plata resource update will likely be by Q4 2024: MMG noted good progress on its La Plata project. Resource modelling on the Allard deposit at La Plata is underway to integrate the drilling results into an updated resource estimate, which is likely to be completed by Q4 2024. The update will add gold, platinum, and palladium to the existing copper and silver resources.
