CATL’s Jianxiawo lithium mine in Jiangxi, China, is facing another regulatory setback after its environmental permit was reportedly withdrawn, returning the operation to care and maintenance.

The development follows unresolved questions surrounding tailings management and the mine’s environmental review. More than 70 complaints were submitted during the review process, while mining activity observed earlier this year subsequently stopped again in early August.

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence has now reduced its 2026 production estimate for Jianxiawo to 32,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, down from a previous forecast of 62,500 tonnes. Its 2027 estimate remains unchanged at 99,000 tonnes.

At full operation, Jianxiawo can produce close to 150,000 tonnes annually, making the timing of any restart relevant to the broader lithium supply outlook as demand from electric vehicles and battery storage continues to develop. Regulators are also increasing scrutiny of other lithium operations in Jiangxi.

Crossroads Gold Corp. (TSXV: CRG) has reported additional high-grade gold-in-soil results from its Pambula Gold Project in southeastern New South Wales, Australia.

The latest assays returned values of up to 21.8 g/t Au, along with results of 8.4 g/t Au and 3.4 g/t Au. Anomalous gold has now been identified across five prospect areas: Hidden Treasure, Hidden Treasure North, Pilot Fissure, Britisher and Mt Gahan.

The broader soil sampling campaign has grown to 1,390 samples, although only 612 had completed gold assays at the time of reporting. Another 114 samples were at the laboratory and 664 were being prepared for analysis, leaving a significant portion of the program outstanding.

Crossroads is integrating the geochemical results with high-resolution LiDAR mapping and historical exploration data to refine targets ahead of its planned maiden drill program. The Hidden Treasure–Pilot Fissure structural intersection has been identified as one priority area for future drilling.

Collective Mining Ltd. (TSX: CNL) has begun drilling the newly defined Orion target at its Guayabales project in Colombia.

Located roughly one kilometre east of the company’s Apollo system, Orion was identified through fieldwork and a systematic review of the surrounding area. Mapping has outlined an approximately 350-metre by 300-metre mineralized footprint containing gold-bearing quartz-iron oxide sheeted and stockwork veining.

Surface sampling returned rock values of up to 7.43 g/t gold, 230 g/t silver and 0.26% copper, while soil samples reached up to 4.00 g/t gold.

The target also sits near the intersection of the Apollo-Marmato structural corridor and the Gustavo Fault. A magnetic anomaly beneath Orion has been interpreted as a potential intrusive source, which the current drilling program is designed to test.

Orion forms part of Collective Mining’s broader 90,000-metre 2026 exploration program. The company also plans to drill the Victory target during the fourth quarter.

Mining Americas Inc. has received key federal environmental approvals for its 100%-owned Cerro de Oro gold project in northern Zacatecas, Mexico.

Mexico’s SEMARNAT approved both the project’s environmental impact assessment, or MIA, and its land-use change permit, known as the ETJ-CUS. Mining Americas must still complete payments required to ratify the ETJ-CUS while progressing other permits and approvals needed for construction and operations.

The company is now planning detailed engineering, mine-design work and further metallurgical studies as it evaluates Cerro de Oro toward a potential construction decision in 2027. A new drill program is also planned to test mineralization below the current resource depth of approximately 130 metres.

The project’s 2023 PEA outlined an 8.2-year open-pit, heap-leach operation producing approximately 477,000 ounces of gold in total, with estimated initial capital of US$28 million.

Gold X2 Mining has received approval to list its common shares on the NYSE American, with trading expected to begin on September 8, 2026, under the ticker AUXX.

The company will continue trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the same symbol, creating a dual listing across the Canadian and U.S. exchanges. Gold X2’s existing OTCQB quotation under GSHRF is expected to cease once NYSE American trading begins.

CEO Michael Henrichsen said the move is intended to broaden the company’s investor base and increase its visibility in U.S. capital markets.

Gold X2’s principal asset is the wholly owned Moss Gold Project in Ontario. Its 2026 mineral resource estimate includes 2.458 million ounces of indicated gold grading 1.04 g/t and 4.209 million ounces of inferred gold grading 0.97 g/t. The project also contains indicated and inferred silver resources.

Mercado Minerals (CSE: MERC) has reported initial surface sampling results from the Campanillas vein at its Zamora project in Sinaloa, Mexico.

The standout sample returned 828 g/t silver and 0.07 g/t gold over 1.00 metre. Additional results included 410 g/t silver and 1.66 g/t gold over 1.00 metre and 178 g/t silver and 0.36 g/t gold over 0.60 metres.

A composite interval returned 536 g/t silver equivalent over 2.40 metres true width.

Sampling was completed along approximately 300 metres of mapped strike at Campanillas, about twice the extent of the historic underground workings. Mercado reports that the broader Zamora property contains 14 documented high-grade silver-gold vein occurrences with more than 8 kilometres of cumulative strike.

Zamora has not previously been drilled, and the company intends to use the surface results to support planning for an initial drill program. Mercado has also secured a community access and exploration agreement covering the Campanillas area, enabling the permitting process to advance.

Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) has reported additional assay results from its 2026 drill program at the Langis Silver Project in Ontario.

The headline result came from hole LM-26-432, which intersected 6,199 g/t silver over 1.00 metre, including 12,386 g/t silver over 0.50 metres from a depth of 116.05 metres.

Hole LM-26-399 returned a broader interval of 79.2 g/t silver over 41.0 metres, including 503 g/t over 4.60 metres. According to the company, the presence of disseminated native silver alongside vein mineralization may indicate a wider mineralized envelope than the narrow-vein model associated with historic mining at Langis.

All five holes in the latest batch were drilled around the Shaft 6 area. Brixton has now completed 155 holes totaling 33,858 metres at Langis during 2026, with two drill rigs continuing to test extensions of known mineralization.

Amex Gold Mining has commenced underground ramp development at its 100%-owned Perron Gold Project in Quebec following completion of the portal and the first underground development blast.

The ramp is planned to advance to approximately 235 metres vertical depth, providing access to the high-grade Champagne Zone. Underground contractor CMAC-Thyssen is carrying out the development, with the infrastructure being built to production-scale specifications.

The new underground access will support Amex’s planned 40,000-tonne bulk sample program. The program is intended to collect data on mining conditions, grade continuity, dilution, reconciliation and metallurgical performance as the company evaluates future development of Perron.

Underground work is progressing alongside the broader permitting process. Amex filed a project notice with Quebec’s environment ministry in August, while the separately permitted bulk sample program can proceed during the environmental assessment process.

A feasibility study completed earlier in 2026 outlined average annual production of approximately 147,000 ounces of gold at an estimated all-in sustaining cost of US$910 per ounce.
