Aussie miners are making waves with their unique innovations and discoveries, despite not always making it into mainstream news. Perth-based Equinox Resources recently unveiled rare earths results from its Mata de Corda project in Brazil, with exceptional high-grade findings in a frontier discovery. The project, located in Brazil’s Minas Gerais state, has the potential to host a high-grade ionic adsorption clay deposit.
Meanwhile, Argent Minerals expanded its Kempfield polymetallic deposit in NSW with impressive drilling results, showcasing high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization. The project is located near Cadia’s gold and copper operation, adding to the region’s mineral wealth.
In another development, Alkane Resources revised its Kaiser copper-gold project resource in NSW, boosting confidence in its resource base. The project now boasts significant gold and copper reserves, with plans for a potential development scoping study.
West Cobar Metals announced a maiden scandium resource estimate for its Salazar critical minerals project in WA, highlighting its advanced critical minerals deposits. Scandium, a critical mineral used for its unique properties, could see increased demand in various industries.
Lastly, Larvotto Resources revealed plans to double the throughput of its Hillgrove antimony-gold treatment plant in NSW, with potential for higher gold concentrate production. The company’s innovative approach to gold recovery using a multi-gravity gold separator could lead to significant improvements in gold output.
These ventures underscore the innovative spirit and resource wealth of Aussie miners, showcasing their potential on the global stage.
