Inflection Resources Granted Strategic Copper-Gold Exploration License Adjacent to Trangie Project in New South Wales, Australia
Thenewswire· 2025-11-24 11:30
Core Insights - Inflection Resources Ltd. has been awarded an additional exploration license for the Dandaloo project in New South Wales, which is adjacent to its Trangie project and not part of the AngloGold Ashanti Agreement [1][2][6] Dandaloo Project - The Dandaloo project is considered highly prospective for copper and gold, located immediately southeast and east of the Trangie Project [3][6] - Historical drilling by Goldfields in 1997 identified visible bornite and chalcopyrite mineralization at depths between 80 and 170 meters, but this promising mineralization was never followed up due to agricultural activities and a shift in exploration focus [4][6] Exploration Strategy - The company plans to commence land access discussions and permitting for a program of air core drilling, which will involve 6 to 10 drill holes to test the upper part of the basement sequence [8] - The drilling technique is aimed at collecting lithological and geochemical data to provide valuable insights for potential deeper drill holes [8] Industry Context - Inflection is exploring for large copper-gold and gold deposits in the northern extension of the Macquarie Arc, which is known as Australia's premier porphyry copper-gold province [11]
REPEAT – Domestic Metals Provides Project Update for Ongoing Field Level Exploration at the Smart Creek Project
Globenewswire· 2025-09-12 11:30
Core Viewpoint - Domestic Metals Corp. is advancing exploration activities at the Smart Creek Project in Montana, focusing on identifying mineralization vectors for porphyry copper-gold and related carbonate replacement deposits, with drilling planned for late 2025 or early 2026 [1][2][3]. Exploration Update - Fieldwork including mapping, sampling, and prospecting is currently underway at the Smart Creek Project, targeting high-priority areas such as Smart Creek, Sunrise, and Radio Tower zones [1][3]. - The exploration program is systematic and is expected to last 40 days, aimed at identifying structural, lithological, alteration, and geochemical vectors towards mineralized centers [3]. Target Areas - The Smart Creek target is characterized by favorable geological formations and has shown promising mineralization at the surface, including copper oxides and porphyry-related mineralization [6]. - The Sunrise Mine has historical production of 12,500 ounces of gold and has been identified as a high-priority drill target due to the discovery of a gold mineralized porphyry intrusion nearby [7]. - The Radio Tower target exhibits a significant alteration footprint and is considered a stand-alone target for copper-gold-silver enriched mineralization [8]. Exploration Techniques - Novel exploration techniques are being employed, including carbon-oxygen isotope sampling, ultraviolet light imaging, and portable XRF analysis to enhance the identification of mineralization [4]. Company Overview - Domestic Metals Corp. is focused on discovering large-scale copper and gold deposits in historically significant mining areas across the Americas, leveraging an experienced management and technical team [9][10].
Inflection Resources Provides Update on Trangie Project Drilling in New South Wales, Australia
Thenewswire· 2025-08-18 10:30
Core Viewpoint - Inflection Resources Ltd. has provided an update on the drilling results from the Trangie project in New South Wales, Australia, indicating positive mineralization and potential for a large-scale porphyry system [2][5][11]. Drilling Update - A total of eight drill holes (TRNDH024 to TRNDH031) were completed, totaling 4,052 meters, to follow up on previous mineralization findings [3][5]. - The new drill holes have expanded the known mineralized footprint by 100 meters westward, 200 meters north, and 200 meters southwest from the previous intercept [5]. - Drill hole TRNDH028 reported the most significant gold mineralization, with 42.15 meters grading 0.33 g/t Au from 263.33 meters [5][9]. Geological Insights - The mineralization and alteration footprint suggest a large-scale porphyry system, with a defined area of 500 meters by 500 meters showing porphyry-related alteration [5]. - The presence of biotite-albite altered siltstone and sandstone units, along with monzodiorite intrusions, indicates a high-temperature environment typical of porphyry systems [11][10]. AngloGold Ashanti Agreement - Under the Exploration Agreement, AngloGold Ashanti has the option to earn an initial 51% interest in the Trangie project by funding AUD$7,000,000 within 36 months [26]. - Subsequent phases allow for additional ownership stakes, potentially increasing AngloGold Ashanti's interest to 75% through further funding [27][30]. Project Context - The Trangie project is part of a broader exploration strategy targeting large copper-gold deposits in the Macquarie Arc, a significant porphyry copper-gold province in Australia [31]. - The project utilizes cost-effective drilling methods to explore mineralized bodies, which are known to have extensive alteration and geochemical halos [32].
