Peak Minerals ( (AU:LRM) ) just unveiled an update.

Lion Rock Minerals reported continued progress at its Minta Rutile & Monazite Project in Cameroon during the March quarter, with further high-grade rutile and heavy mineral results and confirmation of a substantial monazite-enriched granite source at Minta Est. The company completed hundreds of infill and expansion drill holes across residual and alluvial targets, advancing towards a maiden mineral resource estimate in the second half of 2026.

The identification of coarse monazite crystals and a high-value mix of monazite, xenotime and zircon coincident with rutile zones enhances the project’s potential value and de-risks the geological model. Commissioning of an in-country laboratory in Yaoundé with heavy-liquid separation capability is expected to speed assay turnaround, supporting accelerated drilling and resource definition across the more than 5,000 square kilometre project area.
