The latest announcement is out from Southern Palladium Ltd. ( (AU:SPD) ).

Southern Palladium reported substantial progress at its Bengwenyama project in the March quarter, highlighted by metallurgical test work that nearly doubled chromite recoveries to about 65%, significantly enhancing revenue potential. Dense Media Separation has been confirmed as a value-accretive addition to the processing flowsheet, reducing downstream processing needs and prompting a redesign that, along with rain-related drilling delays, shifts Definitive Feasibility Study completion to late Q4 2026.

Drilling and geotechnical programs are advancing to support mine design optimisation and early development planning, while the appointment of an experienced project manager bolsters execution capability as the project moves toward development. The company continues close engagement with regulators to secure a Mining Right and environmental approvals, and with a cash balance of A$20.62 million, says it is fully funded to complete the DFS and early development activities, reinforcing confidence in Bengwenyama as a potentially globally significant, low-cost PGM project for stakeholders.
