The commitment is part of a planned US$1.1 billion package that includes a proposed US$250 million contribution from Export Development Canada. It marks one of the company's largest financing milestones and a major step toward a fully funded construction decision.NextSource Materials Inc. (TSX: NEXT) (OTCQB: NSRCF)NextSource signed a binding agreement for a US$30 million strategic investment from Japan's Hanwa and the government agency JOGMEC to advance its Battery Anode Facility in Abu Dhabi. The partners will take a 15 percent stake in the facility, with NextSource retaining 85 percent. The deal validates the company's push to build an independent battery anode supply chain and helps fund first-phase development.Talisker Resources Ltd. (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX: TSKFF)Talisker reported a new high-grade gold discovery at its Mustang Mine on the Bralorne project, defining a 36-metre strike length averaging 27.88 g/t gold.

The results point to meaningful resource-expansion potential near existing underground infrastructure.Draganfly Inc.
