Neometals gold hits gather steam at depth in WA

Neometals Limited has hit significant high-grade gold from a July RC drilling campaign at its Ironclad deposit in WA's Murchison region, returning multiple wide intercepts, which included a best run of 12 metres at 5.99 grams per tonne gold from 116m, including 4m grading 10.13g/t gold. The results support the company's interpretation of a high-grade plunging corridor that could improve with depth, which it plans to test with follow-up diamond drilling.

St George cranks up Brazilian niobium, rare earths pilot plant

St George Mining has fired up a pilot plant study at its world-class Araxá niobium and rare earths project in Brazil. The work, using nine tonnes of weathered near-surface material, aims to produce a high-grade niobium concentrate and a rare earths-enriched tailings stream. Results are expected in the fourth quarter and will support a flowsheet for dual processing at the project, which is South America's largest hard-rock rare earths resource.
