Medallion Resources Ltd has announced a tie-up with private company ACDC Metals Pty Ltd (ACDC) to potentially produce rare earths from monazite from Australia's Murray Basin using the former's extraction process. ACDC is to acquire three historical non-JORC/NI43-101 compliant mineral sand resource properties and other exploration assets in Victoria, Australia, and is planning to undertake an IPO and list on the Australian Stock Exchange within the next 12 months. The non-binding letter of intent (LOI) gives ACDC the exclusive right to construct a mineral sand monazite refinery in southeastern Australia utilizing the Medallion monazite process, and the right to sub-license the Ligand Assisted Displacement (LAD) Chromatography process to separate out the rare earth elements (REE). Golden Arrow Resources Corporation has commenced an exploration program, including an Induced Polarization Resistivity (IPR) survey at its wholly-owned Yanso Gold Project. Located in San Juan province, Argentina, Yanso is described as a gold-copper intrusive-related target with a 300 metres (m) by 90m zone of strong alteration coincident with gold and other geochemical anomalies.  A previous exploration effort at the gold property returned positive assay results from rock chip samples. Highlights of this work include a 16m zone averaging 0.602 grams per ton (g/t) gold (including 2m at 1.27 g/t gold); as well as 2m averaging 3.46 g/t gold, and 2m averaging 3.15 g/t gold.
