Rome Resources is acquiring extensive new acreage in New Brunswick in an area known to be prospective, but which has had very little work done on it in the modern era. Some historic samples show tin grading up to around 1.4%. The geology looks encouraging, according to Rome's chief executive Paul Barrett. He emphasizes that Rome's main focus will remain on its assets in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where drilling is ongoing and a new resource is expected in the coming months. Nevertheless, this new ground points to a longer-term trajectory for the company, and indicates where its focus might end up if a transaction takes place on the DRC assets

Mark Thompson is an experienced mining investor and commodities trader who formerly worked with Trafigura and is now heading up VSA Capital as non-executive chairman and Tamar Minerals as chief executive. He also recently took a 20% stake in VSA, as he explains in this wide-ranging conversation, because he is bullish that the London mining scene is poised to make a comeback. Part of that call also involves the recent listing of Tamar Minerals in London, a company which has legacy assets in Australia, but which will now focus on assets in Cornwall and Devon. Mark tells us why the opportunity at the Wheal Vor project is so compelling, and discusses just how much tin there might still be left in Cornwall. Is a bull market underway? - yes, but not all commodities are equal. Mark ends the chat talking up tungsten.

Great Western Mining #GWMO has just appointed Ed Loye as chief executive. A recent raise of more than £3 million has given him an ample warchest with which to get down to work on the company's suite of exploration assets in Nevada. Top of the agenda is to work up the tungsten opportunity at Defender, itself part of a large skarn which links to the company's existing copper resource at M2, a couple of kilometres away. Drilling is planned in the summer, and there will likely be plenty of newsflow in the run up to that work

Quantum Helium's chief executive Howard McLaughlin joins us to tell us what happens next.
