#ASXNews FURTHER VISIBLE COPPER OCCURRENCES AT MT ISA NORTH NickelSearch Limited is pleased to announce an update in relation to the Company’s recent reconnaissance exploration activities at the soon to be acquired Mt Isa North Project. ➖Reconnaissance exploration on #NIS soon to be acquired Mt Isa North Project (Mt Isa North), has identified visible copper mineralisation from two unsampled adits at Moonside located within 100m of previous results from due diligence sampling including: 🔸30.0% Cu & 64.7g/t Ag (CCR001B) 🔸3.12% Cu & 6g/t Ag (CCR001A) ➖An outcropping copper occurrence has been identified at the Conglomerate Creek prospect where historical exploration work generated a large-scale stream sediment anomaly above 100 ppm Cu (peak 1,600 ppm Cu), extending for 6km in a NNW trend, paralleling major structures observed in regional magnetic surveys. ➖Several calcareous siltstones and carbonaceous mudstone outcrops identified within Eastern Creek Volcanics suggesting suitable host rocks at play for Mt Isa style Cu-Cu or Zn-Pb deposits within the broader Conglomerate Creek prospect. ➖Rock chip, float and grab samples submitted for further analysis and multi-element geochemistry with results expected in 4-6 weeks. ➖The recently identified Moonside prospect has been subject to no modern exploration. Conglomerate Creek has no drillholes and limited geophysics to advance the 6km stream sediment anomaly. ➖NIS is targeting a 1,500m reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at Surprise in Q4-CY24, with discussions advancing with drill contractors and confirmation of appropriate stakeholder clearances. NIS intends to validate and extend existing mineralisation identified at Surprise Mine, including; 🔸23.8m @ 4.67% Cu from 51.2m inc. 12.8m @ 7.77% Cu from 62.2m (SH30), Executive Chair, Mark Connelly, commented: “We are more impressed everyday with Mt Isa North, which continues to deliver encouraging exploration results that validate significant discovery potential. The fact that only limited exploration has occurred over this prime tenure located next to multiple tier-1 base and precious metals mines and mineral resources is amazing and an excellent opportunity for NickelSearch. “We are looking forward to commencing our maiden drilling program at the high-grade Surprise Copper Mine in this quarter with the aim of validating historical drilling and extending known mineralisation. With the Mt Isa North transaction expected to close next week, NickelSearch will be fully funded to explore and be in a position to deliver consistent newsflow between our Mt Isa North and Carlingup exploration hubs”.

Fun fact: before the muon was discovered and called the muon, it was briefly called the yukon, after theoretical physicist Hideki Yukawa predicted its existence. Today, Ideon Technologies is pleased to confirm successful activation of of a muon tomography imaging program at the Fireweed Metals (Lundin Group) MacMillan Pass (Macpass) project in Yukon Territory, Canada.  Our new REVEAL™ for Exploration solution is being applied at Macpass to map density at metre-scale resolution over a volume of 1 billion m3 during the winter season. The goal is to identify and map new targets for drill-testing during Fireweed’s summer 2025 exploration campaign. This is the world’s first borehole muon tomography system deployment north of 60° latitude. The Macpass project hosts several large zinc-lead-silver deposits within the 940 km2 property and is now recognized as one of the world’s largest undeveloped primary zinc districts. We are incredibly fortunate and grateful to be working with Jack Milton and team on this initiative, which will help Fireweed Metals identify high-priority drill targets without extensive exploratory drilling, improving the cost-efficiency of drilling out deposits in our short seasons on-site, and maximizing chances of exploration success. #lowimpactmining #criticalminerals #yukonmining #miningexploration #miningnews https://lnkd.in/g2fdWyKK

For all my friends up at #YukonGeoscience put on by Yukon Chamber of Mines, check out this latest REVEAL from Ideon Technologies and Fireweed Metals! Muon tomography North of 60 is now a reality to help drive the critical minerals future.

CAMP GOSSANS. Mt Oxide - Priority Exploration Target. Results return strongly anomalous copper, 1.2km along strike from Vero. A systematic mapping and rock chip campaign at the Camp Gossans Prospect has returned strongly anomalous copper-cobalt zones. Camp Gossans is part of the larger Dorman Fault Mineral System, a +10km long trend that hosts Vero. The potential for a large-scale deposit is indicated from the mapped strike length and widths of mineralisation. True North Copper’s Managing Director, Marty Costello said: “Camp Gossans is a high priority 2024 exploration target at our Mt Oxide Project. We believe it holds exceptional discovery potential. Mapping and rock chip sampling identified highly anomalous copper and cobalt zones. The footprint and geochemical results at Camp Gossans are also similar in size, mineralisation style and geochemical anomalism to the discovery outcrops at Esperanza and Esperanza South, which have produced significant copper at the Capricorn Copper Project that lies 25kms to the south. Despite significant historical investment by previous Mt Oxide owners at the Vero Resource, multiple prospects including Camp Gossans, have never been systematically explored or drill tested. Camp Gossans is now a confirmed TNC priority for geophysics programs and drilling in 2024. We look forward to sharing our progress and achievements as we venture into this exciting and transformative phase of production, development and exploration including commencing mining operations at our Cloncurry Copper Project, advancing our 2024 exploration program and developing Mt Oxide into our next mine.” You can read the full ASX Announcement here: https://lnkd.in/gb9JgucB You can also find our 2024 Exploration Program, that outlines all our priority exploration targets - here: https://lnkd.in/gYgiAPgm #tnc #ASX #mtoxide #mtisainlier #campgossans #mtisamining #cloncurrycopperproject #CCP #tnc2024explorationprogram #cloncurrymining

Optimizing Core Recovery in Mineral Exploration Core recovery is a fundamental parameter in mineral exploration, representing the percentage of core retrieved relative to the total drilled length. It plays a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity and reliability of geological data, critical for accurate lithological analysis, stratigraphic interpretation, and resource estimation. High core recovery is essential for precise mineralization modeling, supporting informed decision-making in exploration and resource development. Core Recovery % calculated as: Core Recovery (%) = (Length of core / Length of run) × 100 While achieving 100% recovery is challenging, typical rates range from 80-100% in competent rock formations. In friable or unconsolidated formations like sands or clays, recovery may drop to 10-20%. Core recovery classifications are as follows: Very Good: 90-100% Good: 75-90% Fair: 50-75% Poor: 25-50% Very Poor: <25% Core Barrel Systems: Single, Double, and Triple Tube The choice of core barrel system significantly impacts recovery: Single Tube: Ideal for stable, hard rock formations, but may have lower recovery in loose or fractured formations due to limited core support. Double Tube: Offers better core support, minimizing loss, and is effective in medium to hard formations, especially in mineralized zones. Triple Tube: The most advanced, offering optimal core support, minimizing disturbance in loose or unconsolidated formations, essential for accurate resource evaluation. Factors Affecting Core Recovery Several geological and technical factors influence core recovery: Formation Type: Loose formations can cause core fragmentation or loss. Drilling Equipment: Proper drill bits, rods, and core barrels are vital for minimizing core loss. Core Washing: Excessive washing may degrade core quality, especially in mineralized zones. Drilling Parameters: Optimizing bit speed, feed rate, and drilling fluids helps reduce core loss. Vibration and String Stability: Instability or excessive vibration in the drill string can affect recovery. Core Size and Geological Analysis Larger core sizes improve geological analysis, offering better representation of mineralization. Common diamond core drilling sizes range from 44.45 mm (BWT) to 80.95 mm (HWT), though larger cores incur higher drilling costs. Conclusion Maximizing core recovery is essential for accurate geological data and reliable resource assessment. By selecting the right core barrel system and optimizing drilling parameters, teams ensure better recovery, leading to more successful exploration projects. #CoreRecovery #MineralExploration #Geology #CoreDrilling #SingleTube #DoubleTube #TripleTube #CoreBarrel #DrillingTechnology #ResourceEvaluation

⛏️ Kula Gold Limited reports geochemical sampling has defined a #Gold anomaly at the Boomerang Gold Prospect with a favourable drill ready target, within the Company’s Marvel Loch Project, near Southern Cross WA. 🗣 Kula’s Managing Director Ric Dawson comments: “This is a very promising target in a proven mining district, so Kula has a rig on standby, preliminary drill locations have been marked, awaiting detailed geochemistry results to refine the drill locations and commence drill testing over the next few weeks. Current GSWA 1:250,000 mapping in this region is different to what Kula is now discovering and observing and this now opens up major gold exploration potential in our large unexplored landholding.” The Boomerang Gold Prospect is north of the Nevoria Gold Mine (+600,000oz gold), and east of the circa 2.4M oz Marvel Loch Gold Mine and west of the Mt Palmer Gold Mine (+150,000 oz gold). HIGHLIGHTS: 🔘 UFF soil sampling defines a gold anomaly for drill ready target - with drilling approvals in place. 🔘 Geochemistry results indicate a mafic/ultramafic unit in the prospect and adjacent to the west limb of the Boomerang Prospect (see maps on link below). 🔘 The gold anomaly sits in a magnetic low which is highly encouraging. 🔘 Located on a 310-330 degree orientation azimuth within a magnetic low – the optimal configuration as most of the gold deposits in the area are on the same azimuth. 🔘 Cross-cutting NE (050) structure in the vicinity of the geochemistry results which hosts a past drill result of 1m @ 2.6g/t gold at 54m. 🔘 The target is 5km from the Marvel Loch gold plant, which aligns with Kula’s strategy of exploring near to existing operations for any discovery to fast track to monetary success. 🔘 Close to existing Marvel Loch gold processing infrastructure and the historic multimillion ounce Marvel Loch area gold mines. ⚙ More details below. #mining #asxnews #exploration #southerncross #wagoldfields #goldexploration

$GRBM - #copper #nickel #titanium https://lnkd.in/gnX88Dr3 12 Month Exploration Plan Exploration Growth South Contact Zone: The Company believes that the presence of Oxidized Ultramafic Intrusions (OUIs) that are associated with copper-titanium±nickel mineralization represent a new style of exploration target that has been underexplored. Disseminated copper and/or nickel mineralized OUIs are present at the Skibo, Titac, and Boulder properties and will represent the primary target of the Company's exploration plans. The Company's initial efforts will be at the Titac property that has a NI43-101 Inferred Resource of 45.1Mt of 15% TiO2 (Cardero Resources Corp., 2012) hosted within an OUI that also contains significant disseminated copper mineralization. Historical intercepts from surface including 462m of 0.4% copper and 571.5m of 0.2% copper (including 145m of 0.4% Cu). Green Bridge plans to initially drill into Titac's mineralized system to expand upon the known resource and realize the full potential for copper mineralization. The Company will conduct a Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetics (VTEM) geophysical survey over the Titac-Boulder property to fingerprint the signature of Titac mineralization and apply that to Boulder, which has recognized titanium and copper mineralization within an OUI similar to Titac. The Company will also prioritize drill ready targets in the Wyman/Siphon property that has a historical Ni-Cu resource characterized by disseminated mineralization similar to that of the world class Mesaba and Maturi deposits. Exploration Growth Chrome Puddy: The Company plans to fly an airborne VTEM geophysical survey over the entire property to fingerprint the signature of the historical resource of 30Mt of 0.27% Ni (Commerce Nickel Mines Ltd., 1966) over a known mineralized trend over 2km; The Company believes there is potential for a 100Mt exploration target within the 2km trend that will be the primary focus of the first drill campaign at the project; The VTEM survey will help prioritize future drill targets based on the presence of conductors.

#ASXNews Viking Mines is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities and progress of the recently commenced ~5,000m #drilling programme, which forms part of a larger expanded and anticipated multi-phase ~20,000m drilling programme. • Phase 1 drill programme ~46% complete with 2,670m and 25 holes drilled including: - Drilling at the Jana's Reward, First Hit North and First Hit South targets with 7 holes completed for 510m. - First drill traverse completed at the Northern Duplex Target with 16 holes completed for 1,920m. - Second drill traverse commenced at the Northern Duplex Target with 2 holes completed for 240m. • Shearing, biotite alteration and #silicification observed at the Northern Duplex target confirming the presence of the interpreted shear zones targeted for #gold potential. • Samples for all drilling completed to date delivered to the #laboratory with results anticipated in January. • Phase 1 drilling briefly paused due to repeated rainfall events in the Eastern #Goldfields and will re-commence early 2025. • Phase 2 drill programme planning underway to test the high-priority southern duplex #target in the March quarter FY25. • Immediate follow up drilling at the Northern Duplex target to be planned after the completion of the Phase 1 drill programme and the receipt of assay results. • First Hit Mineral Resource Estimate being undertaken by MEC Mining nearing completion and market update anticipated soon. #VKA Managing Director & CEO Julian Woodcock said: “I was recently on site to work with the team and review the drilling progress and the geology intercepted to date from the ongoing First Hit Project Phase 1 drill programme. "It is encouraging to see that the drilling has intersected significant shear zones with accompanying areas of alteration and sulphide mineralisation which confirms our interpretation of the presence of structures which are producing the repeating stratigraphy seen in the magnetic geophysics. "We are eagerly awaiting sample assays from the drill holes completed so far and look forward to updating the market with results in the New Year. "It is unfortunate that the recent weather events have briefly delayed the progress of the drilling, however the Board is confident in the decision to temporarily pause drilling activity to ensure both the safe operation of the team working in the field, and avoid costly standby charges whilst we wait for the ground conditions to improve. "With the resumption of drilling scheduled to commence on 6th January 2025, the delay is not significant, and we look forward to continuing the Phase 1 programme in the New Year.” VIEW the Announcement: https://loom.ly/acKdtgk #VKA #VikingMines #Gold #Mining
