Touchstone Exploration says drilling results at Cascadura-2 well represent a great start to 2024
Touchstone Exploration Inc
Touchstone Exploration CEO Paul Baay shared an optimistic update about the company's recent activities, particularly highlighting the positive results from the drilling at the Cascadura-2 well and broader operational advancements. The well, initially aimed to reach 8,300 feet, was concluded at 7,132 feet due to encountering thick gas-charged sands earlier than expected. This outcome aligns with the company's strategy and signifies the commencement of a new growth phase, leveraging the infrastructure such as facilities and pipelines they have developed over the past years. Baay said the significance of these results lies not just in the immediate production potential but also in the confirmation of gas presence east of the original discovery, indicating an extended area for further exploration and development. This finding is pivotal for Touchstone's growth, suggesting a promising future with more wells planned for development between the newfound points and further explorations to the east and north. In addition to the Cascadura-2 well, Baay mentioned efforts to optimize production at existing sites, including the Cascadura-1 and CO-1 blocks. These optimizations involve perforating additional sections in wells to enhance production rates, a process they are carefully managing to ensure stable and reliable data before public reporting. This approach of cautious optimization and strategic drilling, including moving rigs to new locations for further exploration, points towards a holistic strategy aimed at maximizing resource extraction efficiently and sustainably.

HANetf says Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold ETC now comprises over 50% recycled metal
HANetf Holdings Limited
HANetf head of research Tom Bailey tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold ETC (exchange-traded commodity) has achieved a notable milestone in eco-friendly investment. Over 50% of the gold backing the ETC is now sourced from 100% recycled materials. Bailey said this was the first gold ETC to incorporate recycled gold, appealing significantly to investors keen on sustainability and concerned about the environmental impact of gold mining. The introduction of recycled gold into the fund is a response to the growing demand for environmentally responsible investment options, as recycled gold is approximately 90% less carbon-intensive compared to mined gold. The shift not only addresses the environmental concerns associated with gold mining's significant carbon footprint but also aligns with broader industry trends towards sustainability, evidenced by companies like Apple and Pandora transitioning towards the use of recycled gold. The move has been positively received, with the ETC experiencing strong asset under management (AUM) growth, indicating a clear preference among investors for more sustainable investment vehicles. Bailey also discussed gold's appeal as a hedge against inflation and volatility in a diversified portfolio. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

Premier African Minerals Ltd (AIM:PREM, OTC:PRMMF) chief executive George Roach joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of a new mineral resources estimate (MRE) for the company's Zulu lithium and tantalum project in Zimbabwe. Roach explained that the fresh estimate focuses solely on the zones currently being mined, excluding extension areas within their extensive prospecting order.
