Australian Rare Earths’ Post

Coverage stock MTM Critical Metals (ASX: MTM) is at a very interesting phase, having just commenced exploration on 3 granted exploration licences covering ~140 sq km within Western Australia’s West Arunta region. The significance of the location is that it lies immediately adjacent to ground held by WA1 Resources (ASX: WA1) and Encounter Resources Ltd (ASX: ENR). MTM’s exploration program is designed to replicate and expand on WA1’s successful journey to date. The company is currently reprocessing available geophysical survey data and is assessing options for the collection of new magnetic and gravity geophysical data that will be utilised to generate drilling targets. Like the recent discoveries, the exploration program will focus on concealed coincident gravity and magnetic targets within prospective basement rocks that could represent mineralised carbonatite intrusions. Ultimately these targets will be tested with drilling. MTM has also commenced negotiations regarding heritage agreements with the local Native Title holders to obtain access to the tenements. #exploration #commodities #resources #mining #exploration #equities #ausbiz #rareearths

Midland Exploration Inc. (MD-V)   Midland and SOQUEM launch the 2024 exploration campaign in the Labrador Trough, Québec     Midland reported on June 4, 2024  its summer 2024 exploration program under the Strategic Alliance with SOQUEM Inc. to explore the Labrador Trough in Nunavik, Québec. With a joint budget of $1M, the exploration program is the continuation of work carried out since 2021 and aims to identify new mineralized areas in this vast territory with high-discovery potential. Recall on June 20, 2023, Midland had announced the exploration program for the summer of 2023 with a joint budget of $1.3M (https://lnkd.in/gQq-CzyX).   The 2024 program shall focus on high-grades copper-gold occurrences in the Nachicapau area as well as regional targets based on structural interpretations and 2023 geochemical anomalies. Helicopter-supported fieldwork shall begin in mid-June and shall consist of geochemical rock and soil sampling along with a drone-based magnetic survey totaling ~770 km that could refine the structural interpretation.   Midland and SOQUEM shall also investigate unexplored regional areas. Since 2022, sustained efforts to compile historical work and advanced processing of lithogeochemistry results have led to the definition of promising targets. The central part of the Labrador Trough in particular is targeted for its potential for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE deposits and other areas for VMS mineralization (Cu-Zn-Co-Ag-Au/Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au). We understand that drilling may follow later this fall 2024 as drill rigs may be available in and around Kuujjuaq.

Quick Review: Arrow Gold Project - Key Insights & Potential! The #ArrowGoldProject is situated 110 km southwest of Port Hedland in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, covering an area of 377 km² across two exploration licenses. The project is managed by #PilbaraGoldCorporation, a subsidiary of Raiden. Previous exploration efforts, including surface sampling and limited drilling, have revealed mineralization along the trend of the Hemi deposit. The discovery of Hemi has reignited interest in the region, leading to recent soil and rock sampling. These new investigations have revealed extensive hydrothermal alteration and multi-element geochemical anomalies (Au-As-Sb), underscoring the significant potential of Arrow within the #MallinaBasin.

We've expanded our portfolio by acquiring the Waterlander Project (E80/6046) in Western Australia's West Arunta region, adjacent to WA1 Resources Ltd's major Luni #niobium discovery. The region is known for its potential in niobium and rare earth elements. We aim to conduct ground gravity and geophysical surveys to identify drill targets related to magnetic features once the licence is granted. Additionally, detailed magnetic surveys will assist in mapping the concealed basement lithology. While the development of the Salta Lithium Project in Argentina remains our primary focus, the acquisition of Waterlander represents a strategic step in expanding our REE and niobium footprint, which includes the high-grade Dickson Well prospect in South Australia which returned a screened value of 14,152ppm (1.4%) TREO. Managing Director Mena Habib said, “The addition of the Waterlander Project is an exciting opportunity for Power to secure an early entry to an emerging world-class niobium province and complements the excellent REE results achieved from drilling at our Eyre Peninsula Project. Niobium is a key critical metal, and we look forward to commencing exploration and appraisal at the Project to gain a full understanding of the geological setting, so we can unlock its full value proposition.” Read the full ASX Announcement here: https://lnkd.in/gMqjQcEF #PNN #PowerMinerals #REE #rareearths #miningnews

We are pleased share an update on the ongoing exploration activities at our 100%-owned Bynoe Lithium Project in the Northern Territory, Australia. Our 2024 field season is in full swing, and we're making significant progress in our pursuit of high-grade lithium discoveries.   Key Highlights:   🔸 The 2024 Bynoe exploration campaign is well underway, with a strategic focus on uncovering new lithium-rich pegmatites across the project area.   🔸 Our Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling program is currently active in the Kings Landing area, targeting previously untested pegmatites within the Bynoe pegmatite field. This 3,000-metre program is based on extensive mapping and geochemistry data from previous field seasons.   🔸We're pleased to report that the RAB drilling has already led to the discovery of three new pegmatites - Gems, Perseverance South, and KLR3 - each associated with anomalous lithium in soil geochemistry.   🔸 Next steps include advancing our scout/reconnaissance campaign to evaluate additional targets at Kings Landing before moving on to North and South Cai, and the Southern Lei prospect.   🔸 We are planning to begin a Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program in late September 2024, which will test these new discoveries at greater depths and identify potential targets for resource drill-outs.   Stay tuned as we continue to explore the vast potential of the Bynoe Project and work towards delivering substantial new lithium discoveries!   Read the full announcement here: https://bit.ly/4dL4Afa   #LithiumPlusMinerals #LPM #BynoeProject #LithiumExploration #ASX #Lithium #NorthernTerritory #ResourceDevelopment

We have started our 2024 exploration field season with the commencement of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at our O-2 target at #Malachite in #Newfoundland, #Canada. The RC drilling program is designed to make major discoveries under glacial till and overburden covering the area. The O-2 target is situated at a prospective geologic feature on the Cape Ray Shear Zone (“CRSZ”) specifically the intersection of a large structural bend in the shear and major breakout structure splaying off it. Matador’s Managing Director and CEO, Sam Pazuki, P.Eng, M.Fin comments: “The start of our 2024 exploration program with winter drilling marks a major milestone for the Company. With our change in strategy to increase the exploration effort in underexplored Greenfield target areas, the subsequent work over the past two years along with the accompanying exploration results has allowed us to get to the point where we are now conducting significant exploration activities in the Greenfields areas almost year round. “The O-2 target at Malachite is a high-ranked structural target at the intermediate stage of our exploration pipeline of opportunities. We believe it is highly prospective with considerable gold-in-till anomalism coupled with compelling geophysics, prospecting and mapping results. Recently, highly experienced, third-party geologists have characterised this area as having geological similarities to other major global mineral deposits such as Obuasi in Ghana, Salobo in Brazil, and the Victory-Revenge complex in Western Australia. “The RC drill rig is being used for basal-till and bottom-of-hole sampling. Given the extensive glacial till and overburden covering most of our tenements and for much of the island of Newfoundland, we believe this approach to exploration has the potential to be transformative in discovery success for our business specifically, and for the province in general. The RC program involves about 2,000 to 3,000 metres of drilling depending on depth of overburden, with results program expected to better define future targets for diamond drilling at Malachite.” Read the full ASX announcement here: 🔗https://lnkd.in/gJbH8fWT #MZZ #ASXNews #RCDrilling

Brunswick Exploration Inc. (BRW-V) Brunswick outlines significant new lithium potential in tills at Anatacau West, Eeyou-Istchee James Bay, Québec. Brunswick Exploration on October 17, 2024 reported multiple high spodumene grain counts in till samples collected on the Anatacau West Property in Eeyou-Istchee James Bay, Québec. Saliently the Anatacau West Property is the immediate extension of Arcadium’s James Bay Lithium project (110.2 Mt @ 1.3% Li2O). These highly encouraging results (up to 1,225 spodumene grains in a single sample) further reinforce lithium potential in the bedrock and delineate a new, highly prospective unexplored area at Anatacau West property beyond the previously drilled pegmatites.   Recall Brunswick had announced on July 20, 2023 final assay results from its maiden 3,712m drilling program at its Anatacau West project (see: https://lnkd.in/eGkx7e9F). The short drilling campaign was in the western portion of the property and near the boundary with the Arcadium claims. The maiden drilling campaign did not continue further east due to marshier ground reducing access to surface geological information. A drone magnetic survey was therefore undertaken by Brunswick in February 2024 and suggests that the known mineralized spodumene rich dykes at Anatacau West are contained within an ESE-oriented major deformation corridor which also host the neighboring Arcadium James Bay Lithium deposit located ~2.5km west of Brunswick claim boundary.

Haranga Resources Ltd (ASX:HAR) completes eight termite mound infill grids at their Saraya Uranium Project in Senegal, increasing the total number of auger drilling targets to eleven. ☢️👏🏼 With 18,727 samples collected so far, six new grids are proposed, bringing the total to sixteen. Awaiting further auger drill results and a mineral resource update, the company continues to explore the prospectivity of the Saraya permit. Notably, five new targets are located at contacts between granite and Birimian age volcano-sedimentary units, highlighting the potential for shear hosted mineralisation in the Saraya corridor. 🇸🇳 "We previously announced the completion of Stage 1 of our four stage exploration process. The results announced here are from the Stage 2 program and further illustrate the prospectivity of the Saraya permit, with 11 Auger drilling targets produced from the 8 infill TMS grids completed, with a further 7 infill grids still to be completed. "Equally exciting is the fact that five of the new TMS Infill targets are located on contacts between granite and Birimian age volcano-sedimentary units. This geological setting adds potential for granite contact shear hosted mineralisation to the Na metasomatic model of the Saraya corridor of uranium anomalism, where the Company has already defined an indicated/inferred mineral resource of 16Mlbs @ 558 ppm eU3O8" - Managing Director Peter Batten ASX Announcement 🔗 https://shorturl.at/IO0rn #ASX #ASXNews #Investing #Exploration #Senegal #Uranium #U3O8 Hayley Corrigan
