Tennant to launch into two large-scale Top End gold targets
Tennant Minerals will launch into two large-scale gold and copper targets identified from historical exploration completed in the 1970s. The company's Babbler gold and Wedge copper-gold prospects sit near its flagship Barkly copper-gold project, about 35 kilometres east of the Top End's renowned Tennant Creek mining region. Babbler sits on a prominent positive magnetic anomaly adjacent to a gravity low. A series of percussion drill holes were hammered about 50 metres apart into its ground in the 1970s by the former mining company, Noblex. Some drill holes were followed up with diamond tails to test deeper geophysical anomalies. The drilling program identified widespread gold anomalism and significant intercepts of more than 0.15 grams per tonne (g/t) gold across a one square kilometre area. 'No significant exploration has been conducted on the project since (the 1970s), possibly because the host rocks were not typical of the Tennant Creek-style copper-gold mineralisation targets at the time.' Tennant Minerals chief executive officer Vincent Algar Historic gold results from the drill program consisted of 13m grading 0.48g/t from 90m, including 7m at 0.68g/t from 94m, 22m running 0.42g/t from 33m, including 6m at 0.61g/t from 33m, a promising 3m slice going 2.91g/t from 71m and a 14m section at 0.31g/t gold from 81m. A further hole returned anomalous copper and gold, assaying 12m at 0.57g/t gold from 6m, including 3m grading 0.51g/t gold, and 453 parts per million (ppm) copper from 86m. The hole also returned a 56m copper interval going 251ppm from 49m, with 2m at 855ppm from 72m and 2m at 1200ppm copper from 92m. The gold grades were considered too low for follow-up at the time, due to production demands in the area and a subdued gold price. Tennant believes the widespread gold anomalism outlines a potential kilometre-scale gold system target that is now worth investigating.

Insurance dispute costs Bridgeport man potentially life-saving treatment
BRIDGEPORT, (WBOY) — For the past two years, a Bridgeport, West Virginia man suffering from cancer has been searching for an operation that could improve his health, but after denials and disputes with his insurance provider, his family says that he may have missed his chance. A report from NBC News on Thursday night spoke about Eric Tennant, a Bridgeport resident who works at the West Virginia Office of Miners' Health Safety and Training and suffers from a rare cancer found in his bile ducts. He was diagnosed at stage 4 in 2023 and wasn't expected to survive a year, dropping below 100 pounds at one point. In fall 2024, following nearly two years of chemotherapy treatment, Tennant's wife, Rebecca, learned of a way to potentially aid his condition through a 'relatively new' procedure known as histotripsy, NBC News reported. The procedure would use ultrasound waves to target tumors in Tennant's liver and could potentially extend his life. His insurance declined to cover the $50,000 treatment. Tennant is insured under West Virginia's Public Employee Insurance Agency (PEIA), and despite receiving a recommendation for the procedure from his oncologist, PEIA cited the treatment as 'not medically necessary,' NBC News reported. West Virginia woman who traveled 6 hours for life-saving abortion calls for issue to be placed on voter ballot After learning of PEIA's denial, NBC News reported that the Tennant family attempted to appeal the agency four separate times, all to no avail. Along the way, they were faced with other roadblocks such as UMR, a subsidiary of United Healthcare that manages PEIA plans through a contract with West Virginia, as well as MES Peer Review Services, a Massachusetts-based company that upheld PEIA's decision in March, saying that histotripsy is 'unproven in this case and is not medically necessary.' NBC News interviewed the Tennants in April and noted that after it and KFF Health News reached out to PEIA with questions for its story, the agency changed its tune. PEIA officials told NBC News that the agency had 'consulted with medical experts to further evaluate the case' and that Tennant was now, seemingly out of nowhere, approved for a histotripsy. PEIA Director Brent Wolfingbarger told the outlet that the decision to approve Tennant 'reflects a rare and exceptional situation' and doesn't represent a change in PEIA's overall coverage policies. Despite the sudden approval, Rebecca Tennant told NBC News that it may be too late. She said that since Eric was evaluated in February, his health has declined significantly, resulting in him having to spend five days in the hospital in late May and early June due to lung and heart complications. As a result of his health declining, Rebecca told NBC News that Eric is no longer considered a viable candidate for a histotripsy. She said she's hopeful that he will be viable once again after his health improves, but blames PEIA for 'wasting months' of their time. 'Time is precious,' she said. 'They know he has stage 4 cancer, and it's almost like they don't care if he lives or dies.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

3 Reasons to Avoid TNC and 1 Stock to Buy Instead
Over the past six months, Tennant's stock price fell to $77.09. Shareholders have lost 9.2% of their capital, disappointing when considering the S&P 500 was flat. This was partly driven by its softer quarterly results and may have investors wondering how to approach the situation. Is now the time to buy Tennant, or should you be careful about including it in your portfolio? Get the full stock story straight from our expert analysts, it's free. Even though the stock has become cheaper, we're sitting this one out for now. Here are three reasons why TNC doesn't excite us and a stock we'd rather own. A company's long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul. Over the last five years, Tennant grew its sales at a sluggish 2.3% compounded annual growth rate. This fell short of our benchmarks. Forecasted revenues by Wall Street analysts signal a company's potential. Predictions may not always be accurate, but accelerating growth typically boosts valuation multiples and stock prices while slowing growth does the opposite. Over the next 12 months, sell-side analysts expect Tennant's revenue to drop by 1%, a decrease from its 2.3% annualized growth for the past five years. This projection is underwhelming and suggests its products and services will face some demand challenges. Free cash flow isn't a prominently featured metric in company financials and earnings releases, but we think it's telling because it accounts for all operating and capital expenses, making it tough to manipulate. Cash is king. As you can see below, Tennant's margin dropped by 7.1 percentage points over the last five years. This along with its unexciting margin put the company in a tough spot, and shareholders are likely hoping it can reverse course. If the trend continues, it could signal it's becoming a more capital-intensive business. Tennant's free cash flow margin for the trailing 12 months was 4.8%. Tennant isn't a terrible business, but it doesn't pass our bar. Following the recent decline, the stock trades at 12.4× forward P/E (or $77.09 per share). While this valuation is fair, the upside isn't great compared to the potential downside. We're pretty confident there are more exciting stocks to buy at the moment. We'd recommend looking at an all-weather company that owns household favorite Taco Bell. Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election sent major indices to all-time highs, but stocks have retraced as investors debate the health of the economy and the potential impact of tariffs. While this leaves much uncertainty around 2025, a few companies are poised for long-term gains regardless of the political or macroeconomic climate, like our Top 6 Stocks for this week. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 183% over the last five years (as of March 31st 2025). Stocks that made our list in 2020 include now familiar names such as Nvidia (+1,545% between March 2020 and March 2025) as well as under-the-radar businesses like the once-small-cap company Comfort Systems (+782% five-year return).

Rivals season 2 twist confirmed after major spoiler for sizzling series
The Rivals cast have officially returned to Rutshire for another roll around the Maytime hay. The Disney Plus show got pulses racing last year with its soapy adaptation of the first half of Jilly Cooper's bonkbuster novel of the same name, which drew a Cotswolds world where everyone is constantly horny and prepared to cheat on their spouses. Viewers were hooked. The homage to 80s hedonism starred a stellar cast of British acting talent, including Danny Dyer, Aidan Turner and Katherine Parkinson. Heading up the call sheet was David Tennant playing nominative determinist baddie Tony Baddingham, the head honcho at the Corinium TV station, which goes to war with a new underdog outfit called Venturer. Yet the operatic season finale left it unclear whether Tennant's sneering TV executive would be back, after the mother of all cliffhangers left his life hanging in the balance. However, Disney Plus and Hulu – where the show streams in the US –confirmed last month that Tennant will indeed be back and new set pictures have hinted at his upcoming storyline. The Disney Plus Instagram account shared a snap of Tennant's name card and script at a table read for the new season, with the teasy caption: 'Did someone ask for a Rivals update?' So we knew Tony would be in the second season and it was suspected he would survive (because he's an evil villain and they always keep coming back for more, of course). But there was always the possibility it would be in a flashback capacity after he met a sticky end in the first season finale. Yet new set pictures seem to confirm he did survive the climactic office showdown with Cameron (Williams), as Tennant has been seen filming with a set of prosthetic stitches in his head, presumably from that brutal blow to the head. Spoilers ahead. It wasn't beyond possibility Rivals would end its first batch of episodes with a death – the whole thing had turned very 'pistols at dawn' – but we could never have anticipated the blood-soaked cliffhanger we were left with. The final scene saw Tony (Tennant) have it out with his protegee turned mistress Cameron (Nafessa Williams) after discovering her affair with Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell). Tennant magicked up a frightening new scariness to Tony Baddingham for this scene. For a moment it really looked like Cameron would be the one on the way out. But instead she whacked Tony over the head with a TV award she had accepted in front of him in the previous episode. The last we saw of Tony, he was bleeding out on the '80s shag carpet as the fireworks popped for New Years. Rivals fans had already guessed Tony would rise from the blood-soaked carpet, after he was seen in a short teaser clip from the show's season two table read. More Trending @max commented on the TikTok clip: 'DAVID IS THERE??!!,' alongside a gasping emoji. @AnnieKT1970 commented: 'So David Tennant character isn't dead, jeez spoiler alert.'
