Completion of Native Title agreements allowing access to the highly prospective Sentinel Project area
-
Field reconnaissance of SPECTREM airborne electromagnetic (EM) targets flown in 2019 with helicopter supported ground mapping and lithogeochemical surveys (see Figure 2)
-
Discovery of outcropping Ni-Cu mineralisation coincident with EM targets and hosted by the Ruins Dolerite (see Figure 1)
-
Ground EM currently underway at the Sentinel Project area (70 stations completed to date)

Yalbra Graphite Project
==> picture [228 x 71] intentionally omitted <==
Buxton’s 100% owned high grade Yalbra graphite resource located in the Murchison region, Western Australia (see Figure 5) over the last 12 months has been the subject of significant test work, product development, marketing studies and offtake discussions by Elmore Ltd – an ASX listed (ASX:ELE) processing and mining services group.
Metallurgical test work has been focused to find the balance of limited on site processing and concentrate creation, with final product upgrading to occur with the end user.
-
Different grinding sizes and methods are being assessed at various size fractions with wet milling to yield concentrate responses with simple flotation, see Fig. 3.
-
Leaching is being trialled with a range of mild reagents at different temperatures and chemical combinations of NaOH, HCL and HF acid
-
Test work is continuing.
