Lunnon Metals Says Gold Structures Extend to Over 500 Meters at Western Australia Project

-- Lunnon Metals (ASX:LM8) said recent exploration results support key mineralized structures continuing at depth at its Lady Herial gold system in Western Australia, with the depth extent of the structures now at a significant plunge of more than 500 meters, according to a Monday Australian bourse filing.

The company said the results highlight the potential for these structures to interact down-dip with the Foster underground nickel mine and other prospective gold host rocks within the St Ives camp, creating potential future synergies between gold and nickel underground at Foster and Lady Herial.

The results also open up the opportunity for the Lady Herial gold system to interact with the Lunnon Sediment, the host rock to the Father's Day Vein at Beta/Hunt, a gold and nickel mine within the St Ives camp, the filing added.

The company's shares fell 1% in recent Monday trade.

Market Chatter: Shin-Etsu's $3.4 Billion US Investment Strengthens PVC Supply Resilience Amid Iran War

Shin-Etsu Chemical's (TYO:4063) additional $3.4 billion investment in its U.S. polyvinyl chloride operation in March has helped it withstand supply shocks better than many rivals who are raising prices or cutting output amid the Middle East turmoil, Nikkei Asia reported on Friday.While price competition in commodity-grade PVC remains fierce and massive output increases from Chinese suppliers have pushed numerous competitors into losses or plant closures, Shin-Etsu leverages its U.S. geographical advantage, the publication said.Through its American subsidiary Shintech, the company produces PVC using ethylene derived from U.S. shale gas, which exposes it to less geopolitical risk than oil-derived feedstocks from the Middle East, and enables stable, inexpensive procurement, the news agency said.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
