  • Bruce rare earth (REE) Prospect: located in the Arunta mineral field near Alice Springs-NT

  • MGA has assembled a portfolio of assets located in Western Australia and Northern Territory targeting lithium, rare earth, copper, manganese, gold and base metal resources

  • Projects are located within close proximity to ports and world-class mining infrastructure

Exploration Underway:

MGA has a clear strategy to aggressively explore the Company’s portfolio of advanced lithium, Rare Earth Elements (REE), manganese and base metals projects targeting commodities for which demand is forecast to increase as part of global ongoing decarbonisation and electrification initiatives.

With the funds raised, MGA is well capitalised to accelerate exploration at its key lithium and rare earths targets over the coming months.

Exploration has commenced at the Upper Coondina Lithium Project in WA with a targeted program now underway.

As was highlighted in its IPO prospectus, MGA considers that an untested magnetic anomaly within the Upper Coondina Project warrants follow-up exploration to determine its source.

Exploration is also scheduled to commence at the Bruce Rare Earth Prospect in the coming weeks and further details will be reported shortly.

Further details with respect to the Company’s proposed exploration program is set out in section 5.4 of the IPO prospectus, which is available on the Company website at www.metalsgrove.com.au.

I am excited that you share MGA’s vision for a clean energy future, and we look forward to delivering on our exploration and development plans to unlock the clear potential of our critical metal projects.

MGA has established an exciting portfolio of lithium, rare earth, copper, manganese, gold and base metal resources which provide high-quality exposure to the rapidly growing global battery energy market.
