Jervois Global, an Australian cobalt miner, is set to go private through a recapitalization plan due to declining cobalt prices. The Company has partnered with Millstreet Capital Management to inject $145 million in new equity and transfer its assets to a Millstreet nominee. To streamline the process, Jervois will initiate a prepackaged US Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2025, aligning with a similar plan in Australia to support its operations and growth, including restarting a nickel-cobalt refinery in Brazil.

Quantum-Si, known as The Protein Sequencing Company, announces pricing of $50 million registered direct offering. The Company is dedicated to transforming the rapidly evolving field of proteomics (The study of the structure and function of proteins, including the way they work and interact with each other inside cells). The Company’s Platinum instrument introduces Next-Gen Protein Sequencing, driving advancements in proteomic research, drug discovery, and diagnostics, surpassing the capabilities of traditional proteomic tools.

Sanu Gold announces closing of strategic partnership with Montage Gold & strategic investment by the Lundin Family for a total value of CAD $10,055,412. Under the agreement, Montage Gold Corp. has acquired a 19.9% ownership stake in Sanu Gold, valued at approximately CAD $5.5 million, through the issuance of 2,337,921 common shares. The Lundin Family has also obtained a 10% stake, alongside AngloGold Ashanti plc, which retains its 10% ownership. This strategic collaboration sees Montage Gold’s CEO, Martino De Ciccio, appointed as Chair of Sanu Gold’s Board, with EVP Exploration Silvia Bottero joining as Technical Advisor. The funds from these investments will support exploration in Guinea, West Africa, focusing on the promising Daina, Diguifara, and Bantabaye permits.
