Tertiary Minerals PLC - mineral explorer and developer focused on energy transition metals - Begins work evaluating First Quantum Minerals’ datasets for two of its projects. Says that a ‘number of exciting exploration targets’ are emerging. ‘We hope to reveal more about this in the near future and in the meantime we are busy planning field programmes to start within the next couple of months as soon as the wet season ends,’ the company says. Says its focus is ‘firmly fixed’ on copper exploration in Zambia and the US state of Nevada. Suggests copper is ‘most likely to survive the evolution of battery technologies which may be at the expense of some of the more novel commodities.’
