Investigator Silver dominates ASX attention with maiden ore reserve. The explorer's Paris Silver deposit in South Australia delivered compelling economics under spot price case: pre-tax NPV of A$1.15B, IRR of 93%, and payback forecast at just eleven months from first production. The company followed up with a A$55 million placement to accelerate early works. Meanwhile, St George Mining released its long-awaited Araxá resource upgrade showing 70.91Mt at 4.06% total rare earth oxides and 0.62% niobium, though the market sold off twenty percent through the week. Lindian Resources also captured attention after acquiring a Kazakhstan refinery for US$15 million, signaling expansion into critical minerals processing capacity.
