-- NovaRed Mining (NRED.CN) 周五宣布，已签署一项矿产期权修订协议，根据该协议，公司可能收购另外五个矿权区70%的权益，这些矿权区总面积约为4,573.82公顷，统称为特洛伊-秃鹰走廊 (Trojan-Condor Corridor)。 该公司补充道，这些新增矿权区与NovaRed现有的威尔马克铜金项目 (Wilmac Copper-Gold project) 的九个矿权区相邻，并将项目总面积扩大至16,077.76公顷。待加拿大证券交易所 (CSE) 接受该协议后，公司须向期权授予方支付10万加元，并向其发行300万个单位。 每个单位包含一股普通股和一份为期两年的可转让认股权证，该认股权证赋予期权授予方以每股1.80加元的价格购买一股普通股的权利。为了行使该期权，该公司必须在2027年3月31日前向期权授予方支付15万美元，并出资850万美元用于矿权勘探，其中包括2026年分阶段支付的150万美元。 该公司表示，根据该期权，NovaRed可购买的矿权70%权益需支付2%的净冶炼收益权（NSR）。该公司可以一次性支付200万美元购买一半的NSR。 行使期权后，只要该公司保留其在该矿权中的权益，就必须每年向期权授予方支付10万美元的预付特许权使用费。 NovaRed Mining首席执行官Brian Goss表示：“我们的首要任务是将历史知识产权、磁力数据、土壤数据和钻探数据与我们在Wilmac的2026年地球物理勘探计划相结合，并确定整个项目中最具吸引力的钻探目标。” 该公司股票周四在加拿大证券交易所（CSE）收盘价与前一日持平，报1.8美元。

In a Thursday note, S&P Global analysts said Europe has benefited from "significant demand destruction elsewhere," noting that although the war has effectively removed about 20% of global LNG supply, European imports have remained broadly steady.The note said Asia has absorbed much of the demand adjustment. It said China recorded a 19% year-on-year drop in LNG imports in March, according to government data.Benchmark LNG prices remain elevated, but off recent highs, they said. The JKM benchmark for Northeast Asia put prices at $18.309/MMBtu on April 30, up 8.3% on the day. The DES Northwest Europe LNG marker was assessed at $15.719 per MMBtu on Apr. 29, up 7.9% day-on-day.The analysts said both benchmarks remain above pre-conflict levels but have retreated from peaks seen in the early weeks of the disruption.European storage levels remain below last year's levels. Gas Infrastructure Europe reported inventories at 32.49% as of Friday, compared with 39.22% a year earlier.CERA analysts project EU storage could reach about 80% by the end of October under a base-case scenario, assuming a resumption of steady Hormuz transit by Jun. 1.EU LNG imports rose slightly year over year in March, supported by cargoes already en route when the conflict began in late February, according to CERA data. However, that buffer has since faded, with April imports down roughly 6.9% from 2025 levels.Looking ahead, Severe Weather Europe said Friday it is monitoring the potential development of a "super El Nino" pattern. One scenario that could develop would be an increase in the risk of dry conditions and drought across Central Europe this summer.
