Exploration

The Junior Project spans 10,856 hectares (108.5km2) and features three drill-ready LCT pegmatite occurrences: Despard, Tape and Swole. The project is located within the Eastern Hub, in close proximity to the proposed Seymour mine and concentrator and holds significant potential to secure additional feedstock and potentially contribute to extending the lifespan of the mine.

Located 20km from Seymour and shows strong grades and multiple occurrences, indicating possible stacked pegmatites or a larger intrusive system
8,100m maiden diamond drilling program set to commence after an archaeology survey is completed over the area
Resource growth will play a critical role in delivering long term feed to the planned Seymour concentrator
Field crews are now mobilised to the Swole target area, aiming to verify previous mapping and drilling completed by Landore in 2011

Despard Prospect

Located approximately 1km north of the east end of North Lamaune Lake, holding exposed outcrop and boulders.

Historic exploration at Despard is limited with a 10 hole diamond drilling program undertaken in 1959.
