墨西哥薩卡特卡斯銀業公司完成奧索內格羅專案地表取樣與測繪計劃

-- 薩卡特卡斯銀業公司(Zacatecas Silver,股票代碼:ZAC.V)週四宣布,已完成位於墨西哥索諾拉州奧索內格羅(Oso Negro)項目的首輪岩屑取樣計劃。 該公司在聲明中表示,該計畫於2026年3月完成,歷時五天,樣本已送往ALS公司進行分析,預計分析週期為四至六週。 聲明也指出,此次取樣共採集了156個岩屑抓取樣品,取樣點位於三條露頭的低硫化礦脈上,累計走向長度超過2公里。礦脈寬度可達3米,為多相結構,常見脈狀角礫岩和硫化物後的鐵氧化物。聲明也表示,石英和礦脈的紋理特徵符合低硫化礦床最上層的典型特徵,顯示如果存在沸騰作用,那麼其下方的貴金屬礦化作用將會得以保存。 Zacatecas公司表示,岩屑取樣顯示,該公司擁有一個「穩健的」低硫化礦脈系統,其特徵是超過兩公里長的多相角礫岩化、鐵氧化物染色和充填的上層礦脈。 Zacatecas Silver首席執行官Eric Vanderleeuw表示:“這項初步的測繪和取樣計劃是系統性推進礦產組合開發的第一步,我們將從最有把握的目標開始。隨著我們整合結果,我們預計將迅速確定Oso Negro礦區的鑽探目標,同時繼續釋放整個礦產組合的價值。” 該公司股票週三在多倫多證券交易所創業板收盤下跌6.3%,報0.075加元。

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.
