In mineral exploration, discoveries are the exception. Years of mapping, sampling and drilling can pass without one. For a junior explorer, a discovery can be absolutely transformative, and mark a defining inflection point for investors. A second discovery on the same property? Now that’s a story worth digging into.That is exactly what has happened at Spark Energy Minerals’ (CSE: SPRK) (OTC: SPARF) (FSE: 8PC) expansive flagship property in Brazil’s prolific Lithium Valley, which spans over 910 square kilometres (350+ square miles).The first discovery was made at Cruzeta, ...

Nobody opens a mine to produce gallium, and nobody opens one to produce scandium. Gallium comes out of bauxite refining and, in smaller volumes, zinc processing. Scandium was produced exclusively as a by-product in 2025, mostly from nickel and titanium streams and processed residues, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Both sit on the USGS list of 60 critical minerals published in November 2025, alongside every rare earth element. By-product supply does not answer to its own price. It answers to whatever the host metal is doing. That structure is why a near-surface system carrying all ...

Gallium rarely gets mined on purpose. It is usually pulled out as a by-product of aluminum and zinc processing rather than mined in its own right, and Canada, the United States and the European Union all classify it as a critical mineral. The same holds for the rare earths that build the strongest permanent magnets. When both turn up together, near surface, in an established mining jurisdiction outside China, the geology becomes more than a local exploration story; it becomes part of a broader supply-security question.Spark Energy Minerals Inc.
