- Flynn Gold extends gold-tungsten mineralisation at Firetower Project
Flynn Gold reported that drill-hole 2019FTD003E, an extension of a historical drill site, intersected 12.95m at 2.24 g/t gold, 0.46% tungsten trioxide, 0.18% copper, 0.23% cobalt and 7.22 g/t silver from a depth of 156.9m. Within this interval, 2.58m grading 4.56 g/t gold and 0.92% tungsten trioxide was found from 167.27m, and the mineralisation sits about 50m north-west of a previous intercept, supporting continuity of the polymetallic system. Hole FT-2026-002 returned two lower-grade zones, 16.4m at 0.65 g/t gold and 23.8m at 0.40 g/t gold. The company has updated its geological model with two structural trends, the north-west F300 Zone with broad polymetallic intervals and the east-west F90 Zone dominated by gold. Metallurgical testwork is the next step, ahead of an initial mineral resource estimate.
- After More Than a Decade of Investment, MSR Begins Generating Significant Cash for Masan
After more than a decade investing in tungsten mining and processing, Masan High-Tech Materials (UPCoM: MSR) is starting to generate cash for Masan Group (HOSE: MSN), with about US$350 million expected from dividends and a deal with partner Elmet. In the first 6 months of 2026, MSR booked about US$423 million in revenue and US$83 million in after-tax profit, and management expects full-year revenue of about US$1.4 billion and after-tax profit of about US$233 million. Elmet completed its purchase of a 4.99% stake in MSR for about US$125 million on October 1, 2026, while about US$225 million is expected from the 2026 dividend, subject to approval steps. From fiscal 2027, MSR plans to pay at least 50% of consolidated after-tax profit attributable to parent shareholders. Masan expects its net debt/EBITDA ratio to fall to about 2.3 times by end-2026, from 2.4 times at end-June.
- Masan Ramps Up Cooperation to Deepen Its Role in the Tungsten Supply Chain
In early October, Masan High-Tech Materials (MSR) announced that US-based advanced materials firm Elmet Group had become a strategic shareholder with a 4.99% stake, and the two companies signed a long-term tungsten supply agreement. Under the deal, MSR will supply about 1,250 tonnes of tungsten, measured by WO3 content, per year for more than 8 years, with potential total revenue of roughly USD 1.5 billion at prices at the time of announcement. The two firms had traded for over a decade, and their relationship now extends to capital and supply, linking MSR's Vietnam mining and processing capacity with Elmet's production in the US. MSR also aims to raise its tungsten oxide product capacity to over 8,000 tonnes per year. The moves come as tungsten prices surge, with APT in Europe and the US reaching USD 2,700-2,900 per mtu on October 2, about 355% higher than a year earlier.
- 498 deep boreholes totaling 46,000 m: Vietnam finds a 'treasure' China twice offered to help extract, though China holds 12 times the reserves. What technology lies behind it?
The Northwest Vietnam survey, running nearly eight years to 2024, mapped geology and minerals at 1:50,000 scale over 13,081 km² and drilled 498 boreholes totaling more than 46,000 m, with 90% intersecting ore bodies. It identified and assessed 110 deposits across 25 mineral types, notably including rare earths. According to a US Geological Survey report cited in the article, Vietnam holds about 3.5 million tonnes versus 44 million tonnes in China, and the Chinese group CREG twice expressed interest in cooperating on extraction and processing, in November 2023 and April 2024. China leads in extraction and processing technology, from AI vision that doubles productivity to in-situ leaching and multi-stage solvent extraction, though in-situ leaching carries pollution risks if chemicals leak.

- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes.
