-- Glenstar Ventures（GSTR.CN）週五表示，在其位於內華達州的Green Monster專案第二期鑽探計劃中發現了「多個」多金屬礦化帶。 該公司稱，在三個鑽探平台上，共鑽探了六個鑽孔，深度從500英尺到585英尺不等，總鑽探深度約為3320英尺，這些鑽孔均發現了多金屬礦化帶。這些鑽孔中含有「高度破碎的岩石，富含黏土蝕變，並含有顏色鮮豔的橙紅色氧化物礦物和脫鈣現象」。 該公司在聲明中表示：「化驗結果證實，目標區域礦化程度高，地質結構複雜；然而，在勘探的早期階段，報告的品位低於預期，同時也引發了一些有趣的問題。由於地質結構的複雜性，需要開展進一步的地球物理勘探工作，以解決數據不確定的問題，並更清晰地了解該礦區內的構造和系統類型。」 該公司股票在加拿大證券交易所的最新交易價格上漲 0.02 美元，至 0.30 美元。

A majority of US homeowners prefer upgrading their existing places instead of relocating to a new one as high mortgage rates and home prices have hit affordability, a survey by Redfin showed Friday.Roughly 43% of Americans renovated their home in the past year, while another 33% intend to renovate in the next 12 months. Some 65% who recently made renovations opted for upgrades rather than relocating. For those planning to renovate in the next year, 71% said they're remodeling instead of purchasing a new place, according to the survey.Redfin said the survey was fielded by Ipsos in November to 4,000 residents in the US."Homeowners are staying put because it is expensive to move," the online real estate brokerage said. "With high mortgage rates and home prices, moving isn't an affordable option for many Americans -- especially when about 80% of homeowners with a mortgage have an interest rate below current levels."In the week through Thursday, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate retreated to 6.3% from a six-month high two weeks earlier, Redfin said in a recent report, citing Freddie Mac data. In the four weeks ended Sunday, the median US home-sale price was at $393,059, up 2.3% year over year and the biggest increase in a year, according to that report.A shortage of desirable, move-in ready homes for sale, especially those that are spacious enough for a family, is another factor behind people deciding to stay put, according to Redfin."Many Americans are choosing to stay put and make the home they already have work for them," Redfin Head of Economics Research Chen Zhao said. "That could mean improving outdated spaces, adding space for a growing family or reconfiguring the existing space so it works for everyone."Approximately 23% of people who renovated their home in the past year spent $10,000 to $20,000 on improvements, according to the report.
