EXPLORATION PROGRESS - “HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING”
Resourcing a green and sustainable future
| Ethiopia Prospect - Eyre Peninsula |
• 35 samples have been submitted for REE analysis from historical drilling • Additional 9 samples submitted for kaolin testwork • Resampling of remaining holes booked in for 9 November |
|---|---|
| Bendigo Prospect - Franklyn Project Nackara Arc |
• New tenement granted (EL 6676), directly adjacent to the Franklyn halloysite-kaolin exploration target of 45-91 Mt @ 30-36% Al2O3 (1) • 25 samples have been taken from historical drill holes and submitted for kaolin testwork and REE analyses • Potential to extend the exploration target to the north once testwork received |
| Campoona Li-ion Graphite Project - Eyre Peninsula |
• Proposal from ANZAPLAN to undertake environmentally friendly (HF-free) fake graphite benefciation and spherulisation for Li-ion battery anodes has been received • Run of mine samples from Campoona have been selected and are being packed for transport to Germany • Proposal for updated scopingstudybeing prepared |
| Drilling Plans | • Notifcation of entries have been sent out to all landholders at the Ethiopia, Caralue Bluff and Franklyn Halloysite-Kaolinite Prospects in preparation for drilling |
(1) The Exploration Target is based solely on historical drilling by the SA government between 1971 and 1992. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource in this area and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
