Canada's Kirkland Lake Gold, which is a major backer of TSX-listed Novo Resources Corporation - the company at the centre of a mini gold rush in the Pilbara - has thrown its weight behind Perth-based explorer De Grey Mining, which is one of several local explorers active in the same area.
Four local mining hopefuls have raised $13.2 million between them for new projects, with Egan Street Resources and Ardea Resources in the two biggest deals.
