The Hillside Project consists of 44 gold claims covering 503 hectares within trucking distance of the Nara Project. The Project contains a historic high-grade underground mine that produced a reported 18,000 ounces of gold from ore at a grade of 7.7 grams per tonne over a strike length of more than 350m.
While oil remain a key energy sector, analysts believe the use of copper will play a critical role in quest to replace internal combustion engine vehicles with electric cars. In May this year, Goldman Sachs described copper as "the new oil", suggesting that the mineral is now strategically most important resource in the commodity mix.
"Siren, with appropriate development funding, could potentially produce up to 20 percent of the world's antimony from its Reefton project." Siren Gold is not the only mining company setting its sights on stibnite. Molten Metals (CSE:MOLT) primarily targets past-producing antimony and tin resources. It currently maintains antimony projects ...

And there are other factors that could inhibit the beneficiation drive… The obvious risk is that in the longer term, the global lithium price could drop. Many African countries that are overly dependent on a commodity (oil, copper, etc.), have experienced windfalls when world prices are high, but also steep economic falls when these prices drop.
