White Cliff (ASX:WCN) zero on Yinnetharra thorium
February 9, 2023White Cliff Minerals has reported extensive thorium anomalies from recently completed detailed radiometric that have been identified over the Yinnetharra rare earth and lithium project in Western Australia’s emerging Gascoyne region.
Current work programs have identified multiple thorium targets from anomalies associated with structural locations on magnetics.

“The clarity of data we have received from the new 50 metre lined spaced magnetics and radiometrics survey is a game changer, and shows significant structural force has been directed at the project rocks over the course of time,” Technical Director Ed Mead said.
A first pass review has highlighted multiple significant and discrete thorium anomalies over the project, which require field checking this quarter.
Thorium anomalies are well documented in the region to potentially be associated with rare earth minerals and sampling at Yinnetharra up to now has been driven by 400m magnetic and radiometric data, which means that we have not targeted these new thorium anomalies.”
“Our knowledge of Yinnetharra continues to grow at an exponential rate, and I hope that 2023 field programs this quarter further unlock the project potential.”
Around 100 rock chip assays are due from Yinnetharra in a follow-up sampling program completed in late November.
