-- 塔拉尼斯資源公司（Taranis Resources，股票代號：TRO.V）週三表示，該公司位於不列顛哥倫比亞省東南部歷史悠久的銀杯礦區（Silver Cup Mining District）的索爾（Thor）項目擴容工作已初見成效。 該公司結合歷史土壤樣本、鑽探數據、地球物理勘測和過往採礦記錄，以更好地了解其認為可能具有區域規模的礦藏，並將其在該地區的礦權面積擴大至6000多公頃。 該公司表示：“結合塔拉尼斯先前對索爾礦區進行的廣泛勘探，這項長期被遺忘的勘探工作揭示了一個更大的礦化系統，將索爾礦床置於一個更廣闊、前景廣闊的地質框架中。” 該公司還表示，這項擴容工作與對索爾礦床新區域的鑽探工作同步進行，包括諾特蘭（Nortran）、博爾（Borr）和一點鐘（One O'clock）靶區。在塔拉尼斯新獲得的東部礦權區內，有數十條與索爾礦區類似的高品位近地表金屬礦脈。該公司補充說，這些礦藏尚未按照NI 43-101資源估算標準進行鑽探，這為公司提供了一個絕佳的機會，可以更深入地了解這個歷史悠久的金銀礦區。 Taranis股票在多倫多證券交易所創業板收盤上漲0.005美元，至0.185美元。

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says
Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Otis Worldwide Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our 12-month target to $90 from $100 following Q1 earnings, valuing OTIS shares at 19.6x our 2027 EPS outlook of $4.58 (down from $4.70; 2026 EPS view updated to $4.18 from $4.25), a modest discount to industrial machinery peers' and OTIS's five-year forward multiple average given unclear timing of ongoing margin headwinds. Service margins were disappointing in Q1 (contracting 160 bps to 23%) amid higher labor and material costs that came in above pricing. Weakness in China has yet to stabilize, though as noted in the past, this represents a shrinking area of OTIS's portfolio and will have a more limited effect going forward. Overall, the latest quarter was more of the same (China weakness/New Equipment decline), though with the added concern of margin quality being pressured within Service - the core profit driver for OTIS overall. While efforts to shore up profitability are underway, we see timing of recovery being uncertain.
