“Firstly, I welcome all new investors to Rincon. I am very pleased with the support and demand for this Placement which now allows Rincon to accelerate its exploration activities, particularly with drilling programs to test high-priority targets in the Paterson Range and West Arunta Project areas.
“A drill rig is scheduled to arrive in the Paterson within weeks to commence drilling at Mammoth, and a heritage survey is set to commence in a matter of weeks in the West Arunta to clear the way for our long-awaited diamond drilling program at Pokali, which we aim to commence October/November. In the meantime, preparations are underway to get back on the ground at Pokali and continue our investigation of the Carbonatite related REE mineralisation identified in recent rock-chip sampling (refer to ASX: RCR Announcement dated 03/07/2023)”.
