For the first time, China has successfully landed an orbital reusable booster at sea.

$RMX has just dropped one of the most strategically positioned tungsten plays on the ASX and the market hasn't even begun to price this in 🚀 Red Mountain Mining has signed an exclusive option agreement over the Pioneer Tungsten Project in the Pioneer Mountains of southwest Montana, USA ....2,000 hectares of ground sitting directly adjacent to claims that Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: $ALM ) snapped up in November 2025. Almonty is a AU$9.2 BILLION market cap tungsten heavyweight, and the deposit they're sitting on.... the Gentung Tungsten Deposit.... hosts a measured, indicated and inferred resource of 6.83Mt @ 0.315% WO3, with a higher grade core of 2.87Mt @ 0.464% WO3 🎯 Almonty has publicly stated they're targeting production readiness at Gentung by H2 2026 with expected output of 140,000 MTUs (1,400t) of WO3 per year. $RMX is literally on their doorstep ⛏️ The Pioneer Tungsten Project comprises three discrete prospects .... Mammoth, Lost Creek and Greenstone.... all sitting along the eastern margin of the Cretaceous Mount Torrey Batholith where the Uphill Creek Granodiorite contacts Snowcrest Range Group limestones. This is the EXACT same geological setting that hosts Almonty's Gentung deposit and the historic Ivanhoe and Lost Creek mines that collectively churned out approximately 680kt of tungsten ore in the 1950s and 1970s 🔥 Massive garnet skarns up to 25m thick, scheelite mineralisation locally assaying over 0.5% WO3, and historical Greenstone drill holes that were mineralised along their ENTIRE lengths returning grades of: 🟢 10.7m at 0.48% WO3 🟢 5.8m at 0.43% WO3 🟢 7.6m at 0.42% WO3 These values and thicknesses are virtually identical to what Almonty has at Gentung, and the geology and drill results suggest mineralisation is open and may extend beyond existing claims 📈 But here's where it gets really interesting. The 2025 USGS airborne magnetic data over the Torrey Batholith reveals shallow magnetic features extending beneath $RMX's Mammoth and Greenstone claims that are remarkably similar to the magnetic signature seen beneath the blind Gentung orebody at ~200m depth. Translation — there's strong potential for concealed, blind tungsten orebodies sitting under $RMX's ground that have NEVER been drill tested 💎 The Mammoth prospect alone includes a 16m adit cutting through 2.5m of scheelite-bearing garnet skarn, and lies within a few hundred metres of the Ivanhoe Tungsten Mine and the northern end of Almonty's claim blocks. Zero drill testing has ever been undertaken on the Mammoth claims. Lost Creek captures I Pit and the southern 75m of H Adit from the historic mine that produced 19kt at 0.18% WO3, with channel samples returning up to 0.55% WO3. Greenstone has a documented skarn dipping at 40° east with potential down-dip extensions concealed by overburden. $RMX anticipates being able to rapidly define high-quality, relatively shallow drill targets following the 30-day due diligence period ⚡ Now zoom out and look at the macro setup. Tungsten is currently trading at near record prices of over US$3,000 (AU$4,200) per MTU of WO3, up sharply from under US$900 at the end of 2025 ..that's more than a 3x move in roughly four months. The driver? China has flipped from being a net exporter to a net importer of tungsten, layered on top of tightening Chinese export controls, the Iran War outbreak disrupting supply chains, and the US Federal Government's Project Vault actively scrambling to secure reliable domestic supply of critical metals 🇺🇸 Tungsten is essential for tungsten carbide cutting and drilling tools across construction, metalworking and mining, plus electronics, aerospace specialty alloys, automotive applications, defence, and as a substitute for lead. Demand isn't going anywhere — and Western supply is structurally short 📊 The strategic kicker ...$RMX's Pioneer Tungsten Project is in Tier-1 mining jurisdiction (Montana, USA), on Bureau of Land Management ground, sitting next to a major global producer that's about to bring production online. Any economic discovery $RMX makes here could be efficiently brought to market and positions the Company perfectly to potentially engage with Almonty as a strategic partner or acquirer down the track 🤝 And Pioneer Tungsten is just one piece of the broader $RMX portfolio. The company is also advancing: ⚡ Armidale Antimony-Gold Project in NSW — high-grade antimony rock chip samples up to 39.3% Sb ⚡ Utah Antimony Project — sitting in the highly prospective Antimony Mining District of Utah, adjacent to ASX: AT4's Antimony Canyon Project ⚡ Thompson Falls Antimony Project — initial rock chip results up to 36.5% Sb at historical mines located near the NYSE: UAMY antimony smelter ⚡ Idaho Antimony Projects Antimony AND tungsten.... two of the most strategically critical metals on every Western government's shortage list, both with structurally constrained supply chains dominated by China, both with US Federal Government actively pushing domestic production 🇺🇸 This is a tightly held nano-cap with a portfolio that punches way above its weight class, drilling targets that can be defined rapidly, near-record commodity tailwinds, a $9B neighbour about to fire up production right next door, and a clear pathway to potential strategic interest. $RMX is exactly the kind of asymmetric setup that speculative capital chases hard when the story breaks wider 🔥 DYOR . NOT A FINANCIAL ADVICE .

🔥 $PIM – HOLY SHIT THIS PRESENTATION IS INSANE 🔥 Can’t believe I missed this yesterday… just went through the new Pinnacle Minerals (ASX: $PIM) presentation — and wow. This isn’t just another explorer — this looks like the next major U.S. critical minerals story on the ASX. 🇺🇸 EIGHT PROJECTS ACROSS THE U.S. – ALL STRATEGICALLY LOCATED $PIM has just secured 8 projects — 6 in Idaho, 2 in Washington State — covering Antimony, Gold & Silver in one of the most important critical mineral belts in North America. The Idaho projects literally surround Perpetua Resources’ $4B Stibnite Mine, and sit along the same structural corridor as Resolution Minerals’ Horse Heaven Project. Same rocks. Same mineralisation style. Same geological system. This is tier-1 address ground — and the kind of acquisition that could redefine $PIM’s entire valuation. 🪙 HISTORICAL GOLD PRODUCTION & MODERN POTENTIAL The Thunder Mountain Gold Project alone is a beast: 💥 Produced >100,000 oz gold between 1986–1992 at Coeur d’Alene’s Lightning Peak operation. 💥 Historic records show grades ranging 0.07 to 1 oz/ton — that’s up to 31 g/t Au equivalent. 💥 Lightning Peak still sits within $PIM ’ s claims, with open-pit restart potential already outlined. The 1989–1990 mine campaigns delivered 25,000 oz Au + 30,000 oz Ag per year, and the pit had a projected reserve of 70,000 oz gold. These are real numbers, not just theory. 🧭 ANTIMONY – THE STRATEGIC METAL THAT EVERYONE IS CHASING Then there’s Antimony — the hidden powerhouse. $PIM now controls multiple past-producing Sb mines in Idaho and Washington, including Smith Creek, Routson, Logan Creek, Silver Cliff, and Antimony Queen. Many of these were major suppliers of U.S. wartime antimony — used in defence alloys, semiconductors, and energy storage. And here’s the key: China currently dominates over 85% of global Antimony supply — and the U.S. is scrambling for domestic sources. $PIM’s projects sit right inside the Idaho Batholith belt, the same region that powered U.S. Antimony production through the 20th century. With Washington’s Antimony Queen and Justice Mine also having long mining histories and existing infrastructure, the upside here is huge. ⚙️ LIGHTNING PEAK MINE RESTART POTENTIAL The presentation confirmed that Lightning Peak Open Pit (inside PIM’s claims) was once part of Coeur d’Alene’s heap-leach operation — producing strong grades comparable to nearby Stibnite. In 1989, it produced 17,000 oz gold + 22,000 oz silver; in 1990, 25,000 oz gold + 30,000 oz silver from just half a million tons of ore. The pit has strong expansion potential, and it’s all within Pinnacle’s landholding. This is the kind of de-risked, historic asset that can be revived quickly with modern exploration. 🌎 IDAHO – THE NEW HOTBED FOR CRITICAL MINERALS Idaho is ranked #7 in the U.S. for mining investment by the Fraser Institute — now backed by the SPEED Act (2025) to fast-track permitting and project development. This is exactly where the U.S. Government wants new domestic Antimony and Gold supply to come from. It’s no coincidence that Perpetua’s Stibnite Project just got a major U.S. Department of Defense funding boost — and $PIM now controls the surrounding ground. 🧠 WASHINGTON PROJECTS – ANTIMONY, GOLD, AND SILVER LEGACY The Antimony Queen Project (since 1906) produced ~1,000 tons of stibnite ore and several hundred tons of antimony oxide. 2025 LiDAR imagery confirmed multiple historic adits and workings across the 5 km² project area. Meanwhile, Justice Mine, part of the historic Rockefeller-backed Monte Cristo district, produced 34,000 tons of ore from gold-silver-antimony veins just 78 miles from Seattle. These are not grassroots assets — they’re proven historic producers with access, infrastructure, and geological data ready for modern exploration. 💥 STRATEGICALLY POSITIONED – BETWEEN TWO MAJOR MINES The map says it all: $PIM’s Idaho assets sit right between Perpetua’s $4B Stibnite Mine and Resolution Minerals’ Horse Heaven Project ($80M mcap). This corridor hosts identical host rocks, alteration zones, and “roof pendant” mineralisation, with massive upside for new discoveries. That’s the same structural trend responsible for one of the largest antimony-gold systems in North America. You don’t get ground this strategic every day. 🚀 MY TAKE I genuinely can’t believe I missed this presentation yesterday — it’s next-level stuff. $PIM is not a small speculative story anymore — it’s turning into a serious U.S. critical minerals player with a portfolio that rivals multi-hundred-million-cap peers. Antimony, gold, silver, proven production history, U.S. assets, and timing that couldn’t be better given the global geopolitical climate. 8 projects..... 3 key commodities, and one clear trajectory. 💥 This is as good as it gets for a U.S. critical minerals setup on the ASX. DYOR. Not financial advice.
