Galileo Mining identifies drill targets ahead of drill season at Norseman

GALILEO MINING LTD

As it moves a step closer to a new drilling season, Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX:GAL) managing director Brad Underwood sits down with Jonathan Jackson to discuss the program and identified targets. The targets, identified through modelling of induced polarisation (IP) survey data, revealed strong chargeable anomalies near the notable Callisto nickel-palladium deposit. With drilling planned to start in late April, Galileo will test these anomalies for economic mineralisation, focusing on disseminated sulphide deposits similar to those found at Callisto. Underwood emphasised the strategic use of IP surveying and geological mapping in pinpointing these promising targets, reflecting the same rock sequence hosting the Callisto deposit. “Our first drill targets for the 2024 drilling season have been confirmed with strong geophysical anomalies close to known mineralisation," Underwood said. "These drill targets are significant as they are based on IP surveying, which is specifically designed to look for disseminated sulphide, and on geological mapping which confirms the existence of the same rock sequence which hosts the Callisto deposit. "The breakthrough discovery of the PGE-nickel Callisto deposit in 2022 has convincingly increased the probability of new discoveries within our highly prospective 255 square kilometre Norseman land position."

Elixir Energy advances gas projects in Queensland and Mongolia

ELIXIR ENERGY LIMITED

Elixir Energy Ltd (ASX:EXR) managing director Neil Young sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the significant strides the company is making in de-risking its gas projects in Queensland and Mongolia. Its Daydream-2 well at the Grandis Project in Queensland is set to undergo rigorous stimulation and flow testing activities, managed by Halliburton, through mid-year. This activity in the Taroom Trough is generating increasing interest in the gas sector. In parallel, Elixir continues to progress its Nomgon Pilot Project in Mongolia. The focus remains on depressurising the gas-bearing coal reservoir, a crucial step achieved through the continuous extraction of water. This dual-front approach underlines Elixir Energy's commitment to meeting its core de-risking objectives for both projects. Young said: “We are pleased that operations at both of our large gas projects in Queensland and Mongolia are on track to meet their core de-risking objectives. "The Daydream-2 well at Grandis will be the scene of intense activity through to around the middle of the year as we now move into the key stimulation and flow testing phases. "Given this, we are very pleased to note that the current activities by a range of Operators in the Taroom Trough is drawing more and more gas industry attention.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

Celsius Resources granted major permit; paves way for copper development

CELSIUS RESOURCES LIMITED

In what is perhaps the company’s biggest milestone to date, Celsius Resources Ltd (ASX:CLA) managing director Peter Hume sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the importance of its Philippine subsidiary, Makilala Mining Company, Inc. (MMCI), being granted a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) for the Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Mining Project (MCB). Issued by the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources on March 14, 2024, this permit is valid for 25 years and renewable for another 25 and represents a pivotal step for Celsius in transitioning from an exploration entity to a mineral resource developer and future mine operator. The MPSA, the first copper project approval in the Philippines in the last 15 years, endows MMCI with exclusive rights for the exploration, development, and production of copper and associated minerals within the 2,500-hectare contract area. This development catalyses the MCB project's progression towards operational status. Hume lauded the achievement as a testament to the diligence of the in-country team and a critical juncture in the company’s evolution. Granting of the permit is expected to stimulate financial investments, with Celsius already engaging with potential backers. With the permit secured, Celsius is set to finalise funding mechanisms, advancing the MCB project into its next developmental phase.

Alkane Resources Limited

On the brink of significantly upgrading the mineral resource estimate for its Kaiser deposit in the Northern Molong Porphyry Project in New South Wales, Alkane Resources Ltd (ASX:ALK) managing director Nic Earner takes Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson through the latest drilling results. Alkane has delivered the highest gold grades observed to date at the site, with an exceptional intercept of 8.6 metres at 14.8 g/t gold equivalent, including segments of 3.5 metres at 31.3 g/t and 1 metre at 62.2 g/t gold equivalent. Earner highlights the remarkable findings from the final 12,000-metre round of drilling, which confirmed the presence of high-grade sections and a 'Boda' style breccia, intensifying the deposit’s prospects. With these results, Alkane is poised to release an updated Kaiser resource estimate in April, enhancing the already impressive Boda resource figures. Looking forward, the company is conducting a scoping study to assess the mining viability of both Boda and Kaiser, with results expected in the June quarter.

Ionic Rare Earths on track to be first ASX producer of rare earth oxides from recycled wind turbines

IONIC RARE EARTHS LIMITED

Ionic Rare Earths Ltd (ASX:IXR) managing director Tim Harrison joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio as the company sets itself to become the first ASX-listed company to produce magnet rare earth oxides (REOs) from recycled wind turbines. Harrison highlights the company's journey towards becoming a major producer of recycled separated magnet REO, a milestone that positions IonicRE as a frontrunner in establishing a sustainable supply chain outside China. IonicRE's innovative approach targets the recycling of permanent magnets from decommissioned wind turbines, a market that is rapidly expanding, particularly in Europe. The company's Belfast Demonstration Plant is making significant strides in magnet REO production, with a focus on the processing of NdPr/DyHo separation following the successful creation of mixed REO products. In 2023, the European wind energy sector saw the decommissioning of 736 MW of power across nine countries, indicating a substantial opportunity for IonicRE's recycling initiative. With more than 3,000 wind turbines in Ireland alone, IonicRE is at the forefront of delivering a secure, clean and green supply chain, crucial for the wind farm industry and broader renewable energy sectors in achieving global decarbonisation goals. The company's executive chairman Brett Lynch said: “This is a major step forward in the development of an ex-China supply chain, with IonicRE offering the potential to become the first and only REO recycler from wind turbine magnets in the Western world. “The size of the prize is significant, given the tremendous rate of growth in the wind turbine market, particularly given our proximity to the UK and Northern Ireland wind farms market with the Port of Belfast on our doorstep. "With over 3,000 wind turbines located across the island of Ireland, the opportunity is compelling."
