Encounter Resources is pleased to report the first assay results from RC drilling at the Green prospect at the Aileron project, confirming the presence of extensive, high-grade niobium mineralisation in the upper portion of the system. These results demonstrate the continuity of the high-grade niobium system from WA1’s Luni discovery into Green, representing a significant milestone for the project.
Highlights from the initial four RC drill holes include:
- 116m @ 1.7% Nb₂O₅ from 52m to EOH (EAL894), including:
- 28m @ 3.3% Nb₂O₅ from 62m
- 32m @ 2.1% Nb₂O₅ from 95m
- 81m @ 1.5% Nb₂O₅ from 39m (EAL899), including:
- 43m @ 2.4% Nb₂O₅ from 43m
Notably, drill hole EAL894, with 197 metre-% Nb₂O₅, represents the highest ‘grade x thickness’ RC drill intercept recorded across the West Arunta province to date.
These initial results have confirmed a zone of thick, high-grade mineralisation in the western part of the Green Project, where a diamond drill hole has also been completed for metallurgical test work. Assay results from an additional 30 RC drill holes, spanning approximately 2km of strike, are anticipated in the coming months.
Commenting on these results, Executive Chairman Will Robinson stated:
“Green is a large mineralised carbonatite (+3km long) containing multiple zones of shallow, high-grade niobium mineralisation identified with aircore drilling. The first RC holes completed at the western side of Green demonstrate some of the best, depth extensive niobium mineralisation in the West Arunta. A further 30 RC drill holes have been completed at Green, through the better mineralised zones defined by aircore drilling, and we look forward to providing further assay results in the months ahead.”
These results reinforce the exceptional potential of the Green Project and its strategic importance within the West Arunta province.
