Shares of Australia’s largest primary-listed gold producer fell sharply after the company warned it may miss its already reduced production target due to operational problems at a key processing facility. Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST,OTCPL:NESRF) said it now expects fiscal 2026 gold output to exceed 1.5 million ounces, below its earlier guidance range of 1.6 million to 1.7 million ounces for the year ending in June.The company’s shares dropped as much as 17 percent in Sydney trading, its steepest decline since March 2020. The company’s market value fell by billions of dollars as investors reassessed the miner’s near-term outlook.The downgrade marks the second production cut in two months. Northern Star had previously lowered its forecast in January from an earlier estimate of up to 1.85 million ounces after unplanned maintenance and operational challenges.The latest setback stems largely from difficulties maintaining processing throughput at the Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM) mill in Western Australia.“It remains the case that the company faces significant ongoing operational challenges, particularly given the difficulty of maintaining throughput at required levels through the existing mill at Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines,” the company said in a filing as reported by Bloomberg.The mill processes ore from the Fimiston open-pit mine, widely known as the Super Pit. as well as the nearby Fimiston and Mt Charlotte underground mines. The complex sits within Kalgoorlie’s historic “Golden Mile,” one of Australia’s most prolific gold districts.Northern Star said weaker milling performance at KCGM reduced gold sales in the early part of the year. The company reported total gold sales of about 220,000 ounces for January and February.Operational pressures are also emerging elsewhere in its portfolio. Northern Star said mining productivity has declined at its Jundee operation north of Kalgoorlie, prompting an internal review aimed at reducing costs and focusing production on higher-margin ounces.The review could include redeploying personnel and equipment to other assets within the company’s portfolio.The production setback has raised questions among investors about Northern Star’s valuation after a strong run in its share price over the past year. The stock reached a record high of A$31.96 in early March, driven by record gold prices that boosted profits across the global mining sector.Don’t forget to follow us @INN_Resource for real-time updates!Securities Disclosure: I, Giann Liguid, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article.

Lithium developer Controlled Thermal Resources (CTR) plans to go public through a US$4.7 billion merger with special purpose acquisition company Plum Acquisition in a deal aimed at accelerating development of a major geothermal and lithium project in California.The companies said the transaction will allow CTR to advance construction of its flagship Hell’s Kitchen project in California’s Imperial Valley, one of the most prominent geothermal and lithium developments in the United States.Once completed, the combined company is expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “CTRH.” SPAC transactions, in which a publicly listed shell company merges with a private firm to take it public, had slowed in recent years but are beginning to regain traction as companies look for alternatives to traditional initial public offerings.CTR said proceeds from the deal will support the first phase of construction at Hell’s Kitchen. The initial stage is expected to include lithium carbonate production capacity of up to 25,000 metric tons per year alongside a 50-megawatt geothermal power facility.At full scale, the broader project is designed to produce up to 650 megawatts of renewable baseload electricity and as much as 100,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate annually, along with other critical minerals including potash, zinc, manganese, rubidium, and cesium.The project aims to combine geothermal energy generation with lithium extraction from geothermal brine, positioning it as a dual source of clean power and battery materials.CTR chief executive Rod Colwell said the project reflects growing demand for reliable energy and domestically produced critical minerals.“Few projects simultaneously address energy security and mineral security at scale. Hell’s Kitchen is structured to deliver clean baseload geothermal power alongside domestically produced strategic critical minerals from a single integrated brine resource,” Colwell said in the official press release.CTR has raised more than US$285 million in private investment for the project to date and has completed a field development plan with Baker Hughes to support its geothermal energy strategy. The company has also demonstrated its direct lithium extraction process at a pilot facility using geothermal brine.Don’t forget to follow us @INN_Resource for real-time updates!Securities Disclosure: I, Giann Liguid, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article.

A wave of resource nationalism is reshaping Africa’s mining landscape, as governments from across the region are moving to increase their share of mineral revenues through radical policy reforms.Rising global commodity prices and historical highs have prompted African nations to capture a greater share of profits from their own respective natural resources.Now, policymakers are revisiting mining codes that were often drafted decades ago, arguing that previous frameworks allowed foreign companies to extract significant wealth while contributing relatively little to national development.

​West Africa tightens mining rules
The latest reforms are most visible across West Africa, where several countries have recently revised mining legislation.Ghana implemented a new royalty regime this week, introducing a sliding scale ranging from 5 percent to 12 percent depending on gold prices. The government is also planning to phase out long-term mining stability agreements by 2027.Those agreements historically helped companies limit fiscal uncertainty over large investments such as mine expansions and processing upgrades.Mali took even more aggressive steps with its 2023 mining code, which increased the government’s potential equity stake in new mining projects to as much as 35 percent and raised royalty rates from a maximum of 6.5 percent to 10 percent.The country also established a state-owned enterprise, SOPAMIM, to manage government equity stakes in mining operations.The stricter framework initially allowed Mali to recover about US$1.2 billion in arrears from mining companies following audits and negotiations.But the new rules have also coincided with operational disruptions. The country’s gold mine supply fell by 19 percent in 2025 to 81.2 metric tons after a prolonged dispute with Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B) over the Loulo-Gounkoto complex temporarily halted operations.Although a settlement was eventually reached, the standoff cost the government millions of dollars in lost taxes and royalties while Barrick reported roughly US$430 million in fees and an estimated US$1.9 billion in lost revenue.Neighboring Burkina Faso has also revised its mining laws, introducing a sliding royalty scale and raising the government’s stake in mining projects to 15 percent while allowing an additional 30 percent to be held by domestic investors.The country has also mandated that at least half of production be processed domestically, part of a broader push to develop local mining industries.Despite the tighter regulations, some projects have continued moving forward. West African Resources (ASX:WAF,OTCPL:WFRSF) brought its Kiaka gold project into production in 2025 after restructuring its ownership to comply with the new rules.

​Niger asserts control over strategic minerals
In Niger, resource nationalism has taken a more confrontational form.The government announced on March 3 that it was revoking mining and refining agreements with three companies—Comini, Afrior, and Ecomine—citing failures to meet commitments related to local employment, environmental protection, and reportorial obligations.The move follows a series of disputes between Niger’s military government and foreign mining companies since a 2023 coup brought the current leadership to power.The country has already seized control of about 1,000 metric tons of uranium, known as yellowcake, from the SOMAÏR mine historically operated by French nuclear company Orano.The material, valued at roughly US$240 million, is currently stored at a military airbase in Niamey and has been offered for sale despite an international arbitration ruling ordering Niger not to transfer the uranium.

Reforms also aim to attract new investment​
Not all policy changes are aimed purely at tightening state control. Across the continent, governments are continuing efforts to attract new investment and build domestic processing industries.Liberia is preparing a new mining code expected to be introduced within the next three months, alongside plans to establish a National Mining Company that would hold equity stakes in major projects.The government says the reforms are intended to strengthen its negotiating position with investors while unlocking exploration opportunities in a country where nearly 80 percent of the territory remains geologically unexplored.“Liberia’s geology is exceptionally rich,” Mines and Energy Minister Matenokay Tingban said earlier this year. “We are seeking geomapping and exploration partners. Access to geoscientific data will allow us to negotiate stronger investment deals and develop downstream infrastructure.”Iron ore remains Liberia’s dominant export, with output targeted to reach 30 million metric tons per year by 2026. But the government hopes updated regulations will encourage exploration for additional minerals and support downstream processing industries.Namibia is also preparing a new Minerals Bill to replace legislation dating back to 2002. The proposed reforms aim to encourage investment while expanding local beneficiation and participation in mining projects.Elsewhere, the Republic of Congo approved a draft mining code in late 2025 introducing competitive bidding for licenses and stronger oversight of small-scale mining. Ivory Coast and Somalia are also revising mining regulations to support exploration for minerals including lithium, cobalt, copper, and uranium.

​Investment risks remain a concern
While many governments argue the reforms are necessary to ensure citizens benefit more directly from resource wealth, mining companies and investors remain wary.According to the Fraser Institute’s 2025 Annual Survey of Mining Companies, several African jurisdictions rank near the bottom globally for mining policy attractiveness.Six African countries were among the bottom ten jurisdictions worldwide based on policy factors such as taxation, regulatory consistency, and infrastructure: Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Angola.Meanwhile, four African jurisdictions, which include Burkina Faso, Egypt, Mali and Guinea, are also ranked in the global bottom ten for overall investment attractiveness.In contrast, Botswana emerged as a bright spot in the region, improving its ranking dramatically to seventh place globally after stronger investor perceptions of both mineral potential and policy stability.Despite the policy concerns, analysts say many mining companies are adapting rather than withdrawing. Record gold prices have pushed profit margins to historic levels, allowing producers to absorb higher royalties and taxes while continuing to operate.For now, however, most investors appear willing to remain, but increasingly selective about where and how they deploy capital in Africa’s vast mineral sector.

Welcome to the Investing News Network’s weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian news impacting the resource sector.The Government of New Brunswick announced a new comprehensive mineral strategy on Tuesday (March 3), at the 2026 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada conference in Toronto.The plan calls for a streamlined permitting process that will ensure clear communication and transparent timelines. Additionally, it promises a collaborative partnership with First Nations, science-based decision-making and a community-based approach to jobs, procurement and infrastructure.Oil prices jumped significantly this week following the start of the US-led war against Iran. West Texas Intermediate has surged more than 25 percent since March first, climbing to over US$90 per barrel in trading on Friday, the first time since October 2022.The most significant gains came on Friday, after Iran effectively stopped traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. More than 20 percent of the world’s liquefied natural gas and 25 percent of oil shipments travel through the strait. The price rise has had a downstream effect on gas prices in Canada and the US, increasing by up to C$0.10 per liter and US$0.27 per gallon, respectively.Over the past week, US producers have activated four additional rigs, bringing the total rig count to 411, although that total is down by 75 from the same period last year. Most companies are unlikely to rush to restart operations shuttered due to low oil prices until there is a more sustainable rise in oil prices. Meanwhile, the war caused turmoil in bond markets as concerns over inflation and rising central bank interest rates seeped into the market. US two-year bonds rose by 18 basis points, while Britain’s rose by 43 basis points.For more on what’s moving markets this week, check out our top market news round-up.

Markets and commodities react
Canadian equity markets were largely down this week.The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) fell 3.87 percent over the week to close Friday (March 6) at 33,083.72, while the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) slipped 4.54 percent to 1,057.04.However, the CSE Composite Index (CSE:CSECOMP) gained 1.27 percent to 178.51.The gold price fell 3.31 percent to close at US$5,170.63 per ounce on Friday at 4:00 p.m. EST. The silver price fared worse, closing the week down 6.4 percent at US$84.30 on Friday.In base metals, the Comex copper price recorded a 2.01 percent decrease this week to US$5.85 per pound.The S&P Goldman Sachs Commodities Index (INDEXSP:SPGSCI) was up 16.14 percent to end Friday at 700.62.

Top Canadian mining stocks this week
How did mining stocks perform against this backdrop? Take a look at this week’s five best-performing Canadian mining stocks below.Stocks data for this article was retrieved at 4:00 p.m. EST on Friday using TradingView’s stock screener. Only companies trading on the TSX, TSXV and CSE with market caps greater than C$10 million are included. Mineral companies within the non-energy minerals, energy minerals, process industry and producer manufacturing sectors were considered.

1. Adex Mining (TSXV:ADE)
Weekly gain: 100 percent Market cap: C$128.67 million Share price: C$0.19Adex Mining is an exploration company that holds a 100 percent stake in the Mount Pleasant project in Southwest New Brunswick, Canada. The property contains two main deposits: the Fire Tower zone, which hosts tungsten and molybdenum mineralization, and the North zone, which hosts tin, zinc and indium.The asset consists of 102 mineral claims covering 1,600 hectares, as well as equipment and facilities from historic mining operations conducted by BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) between 1983 and 1985.According to its most recent investor presentation released on June 11, the property hosts the world’s largest indium reserve and North America’s largest tin deposit. Indicated resources for the North zone demonstrate contained metal values of 47 million kilograms of tin, and 789,000 kilograms of indium from 12.4 million metric tons with average grades of 0.38 percent tin and 64 parts per million indium.Adex Mining has not released news since it published its interim management discussion and analysis on November 18.In a mid-February interview, New Brunswick Natural Resources Minister John Herron revealed that a deal “is due imminently with a well-known company in the Canadian mining community” for Adex’s Mount Pleasant project.While the company did not release news this week, the project may benefit from the freshly announced New Brunswick Comprehensive Mineral Strategy. The report highlights Mount Pleasant’s indium, tin and tungsten mineralization.

2. Southern Energy (TSXV:SOU)
Weekly gain: 91.67 percentMarket cap: C$29.3 millionShare price: C$0.115Southern Energy is an oil and gas company with assets located in Mississippi, US. The majority of its production is natural gas.Its operations are centered around the state’s Interior Salt Basin, in the northeastern Gulf Coast Region. Southern has an interest in producing wells spread across several assets, including Gwinville, Mechanicsburg and Mount Olive East.According to a February 2026 corporate presentation, current production from the company’s wells is about 11 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day, with 27.9 million barrels of oil equivalent in reserves.The company’s most recent news came on February 12, when Southern closed a non-brokered private placement that generated proceeds of US$23.5 million. The company said the funds will be used to repay the balance of a US$12.9 million senior credit facility, with the rest being directed to development capital, including the completion of two wells in Gwinville.The share price gains also come amid volatility in the energy market.

3. Africa Energy (TSXV:AFE)
Weekly gain: 86.67 percentMarket cap: C$165.31 millionShare price: C$0.42Africa Energy is a South Africa focused oil and gas exploration and development company.Its flagship asset is Block 11B/12B located approximately 175 kilometers off the south coast of South Africa. The block covers an area of 18,734 square kilometers and depths between 200 meters and 1,800 meters.It holds a 4.9 percent interest in the asset through its investment in Main Street 1549, a 49/51 joint venture with Arostyle Investments. The three other partners in the asset announced plans to withdraw from the Block 11B/12B joint venture in July 2024, and announced a definitive agreement for the new ownership structure of the Block 11B/12B asset in May 2025. The restructuring would result in Africa Energy owning a direct 75 percent stake in the block, with Arostyle holding the remainder. This is contingent on the asset being granted the production rights, which itself requires approval of its environmental and social impact assessment. The report must be submitted by May 2026. Shares of Africa Energy posted gains this week amid energy market volatility. The company has not released any news since January 26, when it announced the resignation of Dr. Phindile Masangane as Director and Head of Strategy and Business Development. She will still assist Africa Energy as a consultant.

4. Gabriel Resources (TSXV:GBU)
Weekly gain: 60 percentMarket cap: C$41.58 millionShare price: C$0.16Gabriel Resources is a precious metals explorer and developer focused on advancing its Rosia Montana gold project. Based in Transylvania, Romania, Rosia Montana is in a region that has seen significant historic mining. Covering 2,388 hectares, the site is host to a mid-to-shallow epithermal system containing deposits of gold and silver.The most recent resource estimate from a 2012 technical report shows proven and probable quantities of 10.1 million ounces of gold and 47.6 million ounces of silver. Gabriel has invested more than US$760 million into Rosia Montana, but has undertaken little development at the site since the early 2010s, as Romania blocked further development.In 2015, the company entered into arbitration through the World Bank’s International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) over permitting at the site and suggested that Romania was in violation of bilateral investment treaties. In March 2024, Gabriel issued a press release with an update saying that its case against Romania had been dismissed by the ICSID, which also awarded Romania US$10 million in legal fees and expenses. Gabriel said it would review the decision with its legal team and evaluate its options.In March 2025, Gabriel announced that the committee had ruled that a stay of enforcement of the Award would continue if Gabriel guaranteed the proven solvency of the US$10 million.The committee was scheduled to hold hearings on January 22 and 23 of this year, but on January 19, Gabriel reported that the hearings would be postponed to a later date. A new date for the hearing has not been announced.The company did not release news in the past week.

5. Rio Silver (TSXV:RYO)
Weekly gain: 48.05 percentMarket cap: C$41.58 millionShare price: C$1.14Rio Silver is an exploration company advancing its Maria Norte project in Peru. The property changed hands several times in the 18 years prior to Rio Silver’s acquisition in March 2025, but saw little exploration during that time.However, in a February 5 release, the company noted that historic mining occurred as the site hosts a reclaimed waste dump. In that announcement, the firm said it plans to advance surface mapping and sampling in the third quarter of 2026. Throughout January, Rio Silver made several announcements regarding its exploration and development timeline. On January 6, the company reported results from technical work at the site, confirming the presence of silver mineralization with grades up to 991 g/t in a 0.7 meter channel sample.To end the month, the company said it was launching a metallurgical program at the site to assist in determining the project’s potential value.The most recent news came last week in a pair of releases.The first on February 25, the company announced a new private placement to raise proceeds of up to C$3 million. Funds will be used to advance work at the Maria Norte project. The placement is being led by Sprott (TSX:SII,NYSE:SII) Founder Eric Sprott.The second release came on February 26 when Rio reported it secured permission from the local community to begin site activities at Maria Norte. The company said it will continue working with the community to develop a formal definitive agreement for long-term exploration and mining activities.

FAQs for Canadian mining stocks
