Samso - Compelling ASX Stories’ Post

📌West Cobar Metals Limited (ASX: WC1) - Outstanding Drill Results at #SalazarProject, 120 km north-east of Esperance in southern WA. ✅ 📢West Cobar Metals’ Managing Director, Matt Szwedzicki, commented: “These excellent drill results demonstrate that our #Newmont deposit stands out as a unique high grade critical minerals project. The drilling supports our belief that Newmont deposit extends south beyond the current resource envelope. Our focus now will be to integrate the recent drill data to produce an updated Inferred Mineral Resource for the Newmont deposit. In parallel the Company will utilise the recent results and evaluation of the extensive geophysical database inherited from previous explorers to home in on the exciting copper exploration potential of our Fraser Range tenements.” Highlights: 🔸All results have now been received from the 63-hole aircore drill program at the Salazar Critical Minerals Project 🔸Extensive high grade critical mineral intercepts in near surface saprolite from recent drilling campaign at Salazar include: - 21m of 2,775 ppm TREO, 6.1% TiO2, 59 ppm Sc from 10m in SZA 306 - 13m of 1,455 ppm TREO, 7.5% TiO2, 88 ppm Sc from 12m in SZA 307 - 20m of 1,439 ppm TREO, 3.7% TiO2, 48 ppm Sc from 5m in SZA 299 - 11m of 1,355 ppm TREO, 5.4% TiO2, 58 ppm Sc from 10m in SZA 296 🔸Exceptional intercepts of TiO2 include: - 9m of 9.2% TiO2 from 12m in SZA307 - 14m of 7.4% TiO2 from 10m in SZA306 - 7m of 6.2% TiO2 from 11m in SZA296 High grade Scandium intercepted, including: - 7m of 112 ppm Sc from 1m in SZA307 - 7m of 106 ppm Sc from 12m in SZA297 🔸High grade aluminium intercepts such as 10m of 34.0% Al2O3 (18.0% Al) from 10m in SZA297, support the current Alumina Mineral Resource 🔸These results support potential extensions of existing Mineral Resources to the south of the Newmont deposit. The current Mineral Resources (JORC 2012) at the Newmont deposit are: - Rare earth elements – 83 Mt at 1117 ppm TREO (Indicated + Inferred, 600 ppm TREO cut-off) - Titanium dioxide - 29 Mt of 5.01% TiO2 and 942 ppm TREO (Inferred, 2% Ti cut-off) - Alumina - 4 Mt at 29.6% Al2O3, (Inferred, 15% Al cut-off) potentially suitable to be upgraded to a high purity alumina (HPA) feedstock - Scandium - 12 Mt of 103 ppm Sc (Inferred, 75ppm Sc cut-off) 🔸Preliminary copper reconnaissance AC drilling intercepted anomalous intersections of up to 26m of 601 ppm Cu (in SZA337 from 58m) demonstrating copper mineralisation in the vicinity 📌Read more: https://lnkd.in/gtXVi2jj Robert Klug Matt Szwedzicki David Pascoe Craig McNab #mining #exploration #miningstocks #investment #asx #asxnews #investors #shareholders #stakeholders #DYOR #WC1 Samso - Compelling ASX Stories Noel Ong #SamsoInsights on Patreon: https://hubs.ly/Q02qQLCT0 🎦 #CoffeeWithSamso Ep. 196 https://lnkd.in/gyTyJB8u https://lnkd.in/gyTyJB8u
