Western Yilgarn (ASX:WYX) confirm multi-metal targets at Bulga
Assays from Western Yilgarn’s auger geochemistry program has confirmed a swag of nine multi-commodity targets to add to its Bulga project, surrounded by world-class operations in its namesake West Australian mineral province.
The program confirmed three lithium-caesium-tantalum pegmatite targets, five nickel-copper-platinum-palladium targets and a lone lower older gold target.
And an application covering all extensions to the newly defined mineralisation is close to granting for the next stage of exploration.
“With 9 targets identified, it is exciting to see Western Yilgarn’s first-principles, new-generation exploration strategy continuing to deliver results for the Bulga Project,” Chairman Peter Lewis said.
“The team is very keen to extend exploration efforts onto the incremental 275km2 of under-application tenements. Western Yilgarn remains focused on best-in-class exploration across its portfolio of projects at the lowest possible cost,” he added.
Expanding the Yilgarn
The Yilgarn Craton is well-proven one of the world’s most significant mineral provinces and, given it hosts a wide range of deposits, the return of high tier multi metal targets has added a new lustre to a project in a prime location.
Bulga lies near to two of BHP’s world-class nickel assets at Leinster and Mt Keith, several two-million-ounce-plus gold operations and sits in between Delta Lithium’s 12.7Mt @ 1.2% Li2O Mt Ida resource at Mt Ida Liontown’s massive 156Mt at 1.4% Li2O Kathleen Valley project.
Once the licence is granted, more step out exploration will get underway to test southern extensions, and all targets will be validated in the field before Western Yilgarn advance Bulga to drill-readiness.
