Global Mining Review,
New Frontier Minerals Ltd’s latest field work has identified additional sites and further validated the known uranium, niobium, and heavy rare earth (HRE) mineralisation at the Cusp Prospect.
In addition, visual copper mineralisation was identified to the north of the Cusp Prospect, while elevated yttrium levels (up to 1022 ppm Y2O3) were recorded at the Big Jay Prospect, which is indicative of HRE mineralisation.
Highlights:
- Significant mineralisation confirmed at Harts Range Project in the Northern Territory, Australia, with rock chip samples returning excellent grades including:
- 12.52% and 8.49% U3O8.
- 31.48% and 19.73% Nb2O5.
- 1.68% and 1.25% Dy2O3.
- 0.26% and 0.16% Tb4O7.
- 9.13% and 5.81 % Ta2O5.
- Additional rock chip samples returning the highest niobium, dysprosium, and terbium results to date have been sampled from the Cusp Prospect.
- Elevated yttrium levels up to 1022 ppm Y2O3 were recorded at the Big Jay Prospect highlighting potential for HRE mineralisation.
- New copper discovery at Cusp North, circa 200 m from the Cusp Prospect, with initial rock chip sampling returning up to 2.25% Cu.
Ged Hall, Chairman, commented:
“Our geology team has had three site visits to the Harts Range Project, with subsequent findings continuing to reaffirm the significant exploration potential for uranium, niobium, and HRE mineralisation. Our exploration campaign now moves into top gear, with the upcoming heliborne geophysical survey to play a critical role in identifying additional regional uranium, niobium and HRE targets for ground truthing and prioritisation for drilling.”
