News Articles for Meeka Metals

Meeka Metals' Turnberry prospect has given up more high-grade gold with assay results from seven diamond drill holes including 1 metre at 28.23 grams per tonne gold and 1m going 15.6g/t from 305m. One drill hole also revealed nuggety visible gold and the company says the drilling program returned both high-grades and broad mineralised zones.

Meeka Metals has delivered a string of high-grade shallow gold hits at its emerging St Anne's discovery in the prolific Murchison region of Western Australia. The ongoing air-core campaign is testing the fertile gold shear corridor extending from the company's 610,000 ounce Turnberry deposit. The latest results include a stunning 32m running at 16.07 g/t gold from 48m downhole.

Following ongoing success across its reinvigorated gold and rare earths-focused portfolio, Meeka Metals has offloaded its Gecko North project in WA to private explorer LithGold Minerals. The deal will see the company pocket $130,000 now, $100,000 in February and claim a slice of the operation's future riches thanks to a 1.5 per cent net smelter royalty.

Air-core drilling at Meeka Metals' Circle Valley rare earths project has delivered a new benchmark with the latest results running up to 2245 parts per million total rare earths oxides near Esperance in WA. Importantly, the figures have swelled the mineralised footprint at the operation and highlighted its potential for both a larger scale and higher grade.

West Perth-based Meeka Metals has been buoyed by initial metallurgical testing at its Circle Valley project that show high extraction rates of high-value magnet rare earths as it presses to commercialise its discoveries in WA's south. The tests reveal total rare earths extraction averaged 76 per cent and the magnet rare earths leached up to 86 per cent extraction with a mean of 82 per cent.

Recently renamed Meeka Metals continues to return high-grade gold results at its Murchison project in Western Australia with shallow air-core drilling intersecting thick gold zones at its St Anne's prospect. The company says its latest results confirmed gold mineralisation over a 1km strike length across a 7km gold shear system that also hosts its nearby Turnberry deposit. Assay highlights from St Anne's show a 32m intersection going 2.2 g/t from 48m including 20m at 3.31 g/t gold.

Junior explorer Meeka Metals has done no harm to its goal of growing the resource at its Murchison gold project by finding more high-grade gold on the western flank of the project's Turnberry deposit including 32m at 3.09 g/t gold from 32m. The strikes will bolster Meeka's case to upgrade its mineral resource and bolster the company's forthcoming pre-feasibility study for mining operations.

A chance discovery at one of its in-demand rare earth elements projects – including the extremely valuable rare earths used to make super magnets – has prompted a name change at WA explorer Meeka Gold. Its new name is Meeka Metals and the company says its new name better reflects the huge opportunity it also sees in the rare earths space.

Meeka Gold could add more scale to its million-ounce-plus resource at the company's Murchison project in Western Australia. Diamond drilling at its Turnberry deposit has delivered a slew of new high-grade gold intercepts including 1m going 62.8 grams to the tonne gold and a wide 51m strike grading 1.64 g/t gold from 264m. The impressive results are from outside the area of a planned open-pit mine, underlining the project's growth potential.

Meeka Gold continues to record high-grade assays at its Circle Valley project near Esperance in WA's south, including results up to 1748 parts per million total rare earth oxides. The assays also show values of up to 132 grams per tonne scandium — a valuable alloying metal used with aluminium the company says could provide a meaningful by-product for its operation.

Meeka Gold looks to be riding a winner after recent RC drilling at its Circle Valley project unveiled another thick zone of shallow gold that continues to highlight the precious metal potential of the site about 85km south of Norseman in Western Australia. The probe was aimed at testing the prospectivity of a patch of dirt below a 1.2km by 400m zone of regolith gold.

Junior explorer Meeka Gold looks on track to beef up its one-million-ounce mineral resource at its Murchison project in WA after hitting the go button on a high-priority drilling campaign. According to the company, the program will help it vector in on shallow, high-grade gold at the venture's St Anne's prospect, that has so far not been included in its mineral resource estimate.

WA explorer Meeka Gold is expanding its rare earths project by adding 33 per cent to its Circle Valley landholding in the Albany-Fraser province soon after reporting high-grade rare earths oxides hits at its Cascade project only 50km away. In addition to rare earths, the acreage contains two major regional shear zones, both highly prospective for Tropicana-style gold mineralisation.

After an air core drilling campaign, mineral explorer Meeka Gold Limited has detected grades of up to 5791ppm TREO over an expansive 1143 square kilometre region at the company's Cascade rare earth elements project in WA. The assays reveal shallow and high-grade mineralisation up to 24m thick, with a standout strike of 4m at 5791ppm TREO unearthed within a 16m zone running 2223ppm TREO.

Meeka Gold has appointed Paul Chapman as Chairman, succeeding Tim Moore in the role. The gold and rare earths company has also elevated Chief Executive Officer Tim Davidson to Managing Director, in addition to CEO. Both appointments are effective immediately. Chapman is a chartered accountant and resources sector veteran with more than 30 years' experience in Australia and the United States.

Meeka Gold is looking to accelerate metallurgical test work on rare earths from its Cascade and Circle Valley projects near Esperance in WA after assay results from the wholly owned operations pointed to shallow, wide and high-grade mineralisation across a significant tenement area. The company has now teamed up with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation to develop a commercial product.

Meeka Gold says an 85-hole probe of the western block portion of its Cascade rare earths project near Esperance in Western Australia has highlighted shallow, high-grade mineralisation in saprolitic clays. According to the company, the program defined thick rare earths accumulations running up to 29m wide across a large area that has demonstrated the project's remarkable scale.

Terrain Minerals has been granted three new exploration tenements covering 320 square kilometres of the highly prospective ‘rare earths province' near Esperance. The largest new tenement is surrounded on three sides by Meeka Gold Limited that recently released results showing large areas of regolith hosted rare earths, including a strong and extensive anomaly adjoining Terrain's ground to the south.

Gold and rare earths explorer Meeka Gold Limited is aiming to bolt on another gold discovery to match its flagship Murchison gold project. The company is continuing to drill out its Circle Valley project in the Albany-Fraser Mobile Belt in WA's south with the aspiration of transforming the project into one to match the nearby Tropicana mine.

Meeka Gold has revealed total rare earth oxides up to 633 parts per million in leached and oxidised surface horizon auger samples at its Cascade project near Esperance in WA. Total rare earth oxides above 400 parts per million were present within a 250 square km area and Meeka speculates that the large cerium anomalies point to possible deeper rare earths enrichment. Drilling is planned for later this year.

ASX-listed Meeka Gold appears to be unlocking more rare earths potential at its Circle Valley gold project 95 kilometres north of Esperance in Western Australia. The explorer says it has now defined ionic adsorption clay mineralisation over an area of 7km by 5km, yielding higher than 300 parts per million total rare earths oxides.

Meeka Gold has identified two new gold targets coinciding with a 5.5km long magnetic anomaly at its Circle Valley project in Western Australia. Air core drilling has highlighted gold mineralisation over 700m and 350m of strike at two parallel shear zones. Drilling at Circle Valley also intersected saprolite clays over 20m thick similar to the high-grade rare earth clays recently discovered 3km to the east.

Meeka Gold Limited has confirmed the presence of rare earths mineralisation with wide hits grading above 1000ppm total rare earths from aircore drilling completed last year at the company's Circle Valley project in WA. The aircore chips were initially only tested for gold however handheld XRF analysis displayed elevated rare earths spurring on a multi-element re-assay that confirmed the rare earths mineralisation.

Meeka Gold has unveiled some strong rare earths numbers grading up to 2,563 parts per million total rare earth oxides after analysing historical drilling that had been testing for three of the 15 rare earth elements at its Cascade rare earth project in WA. 4,426 metres of reconnaissance drilling completed between 2012-2015 has been reviewed with the final metre of each drill hole previously assayed for only 3 of 15 rare earths.

Junior explorer Meeka Gold has entered the rare earths game following the acquisition of the Cascade project that boasts a huge 2,068 square kilometre landholding in the emerging province along the Albany-Fraser mobile belt in southwest Western Australia. Neighbouring explorers have had successes in the region with the most notable being Mount Ridley Mines who intersected peak grades up to 10,461 parts per million rare earths.

Meeka Gold Limited has discovered a new, shallow lying oxide gold lode amongst a slew of other high grade hits, adding to the company's ongoing success with the drill bit at its Murchison gold project in WA. Excellent shallow intercepts from recent drilling include 16 metres grading 6.67 grams per tonne gold from just 20m downhole with a 4m internal section going 24.1g/t gold.

Meeka Gold has turned out an impressive 20m wide gold drill intercept going a solid 4.66 grams per tonne gold from just 12m downhole from the first RC drillhole completed in early January at its greenfields Circle Valley project in WA. The gold hit formed part of a wider 36m mineralised parcel that gave up 2.69g/t gold from 12m.

Meeka Gold has tabled a 24 metre drill intersection grading 4.81 grams per tonne gold from 68m downhole, with a 4m internal section going a cracking 20.3 g/t gold at its St Anne's gold prospect within the company's Murchison gold project in WA. Importantly, no resource estimate has ever been defined at St Anne's, leaving huge potential with another phase of drilling to follow-up soon.

Gold explorer Meeka Gold has intersected laminated hydrothermal veins typical for gold mineralisation in all six diamond drillholes from a recent campaign at its Andy Well prospect within the Murchison gold project in WA. Meeka says the lode is typically between 10cm to 40cm in width and remains open at depth and along strike to the north and south as drilling continues.

Meeka Gold has launched a 7,000 metre aircore and RC drilling campaign at its Circle Valley gold project in the Albany-Fraser Mobile Belt in WA following up multiple gold hits intersected in 2021 drilling. Drill targeting will chase up a mineralised area defined through previous drilling and soil sampling that spans 1.2 kilometres by 400m and produced some solid results.

Meeka Gold has made a promising start for the year intersecting thick gold mineralisation at its Turnberry South prospect, part of the larger Turnberry deposit in the Murchison region of WA. The company says its latest results add weight to its belief that it could have its hands on a sizeable mineralised system that extends over 5 kilometres.

Latitude Consolidated has struck wide gold mineralisation at its Circle Valley project within the Albany-Fraser mobile belt that hosts the multi-million-ounce Tropicana gold deposit. Multi-element analysis from end of hole sampling has highlighted a suite of pathfinder elements that the company says bear a striking resemblance to the geochemistry that led to the discovery of the behemoth Tropicana deposit.

ASX-listed junior explorer, Latitude Consolidated is cranking through its reverse circulation drill program at its Turnberry South project in WA where it has hit visible gold in one hole associated with silica-chlorite-epidote altered siltstone. All holes drilled as part of the second phase have intercepted a veined and strongly altered zone at the target depth with sulphide mineralisation observed in the rock chips.

ASX-listed junior explorer, Latitude Consolidated has hit a solid metre of bonanza grade gold within three metres of high-grade gold at its St Annes prospect in the Murchison gold district of WA. Assay results have returned a 1m sample at St Anne's running at a superlative 31.2 grams per tonne gold within 3m at a stellar 13.82 grams per tonne gold from 103m.

ASX-listed junior explorer, Latitude Consolidated has launched a second exploration campaign at its Murchison gold project in Western Australia. Drilling will initially target the high-grade Turnberry gold mineralisation, following up on previously reported thick high-grade intersections before heading on to target the St Annes prospect. Previously reported thick high-grade intersections at Turnberry included 9m at an impressive 10.4 grams per tonne gold from 162m.

Junior explorer Latitude Consolidated has scored a high-grade gold hit at the St Anne's prospect just 3km south of its existing 610,000-ounce Turnberry open-pit deposit, which forms part of its Murchison gold project in WA's Murchison Goldfields. The latest drilling highlight from the company's recently completed reverse circulation program was an intersection of 5m grading an average 6.77 grams per tonne gold from 103m depth.

Latitude Consolidated continues to return encouraging gold hits from an RC drilling campaign near the former Andy Well underground mine at its Murchison gold project in WA. Best of the latest reported drill intersections came from the Margaret prospect, including 3m at 2.52 g/t gold from 136m containing 1m at 7 g/t and 9m at 1.14 g/t from 150m with 2m at 3.09 g/t.

Latitude Consolidated says it has unearthed a new auriferous trend near the former Andy Well underground mine at its Murchison gold project in WA's Murchison Goldfields. An initial set of drill results from the company's 10,000m phase-one RC program included an encouraging 7m grading an average 1.9 grams per tonne gold from 121m including 1m going at 9.59 g/t from the Suzie North prospect.

ASX-listed Latitude Consolidated has successfully shaken the tin for about $6.7 million in a strongly supported capital raise as the gold explorer looks to build on a very encouraging review of a ton of historical drilling and exploration data stemming from its recent Murchison gold project acquisition in WA's fertile Murchison Goldfields.

ASX-listed Latitude Consolidated has taken its Murchison gold project resource past one million ounces after more than doubling its Turnberry open pit gold inventory to 610,000 ounces ahead of receiving first assays from a new 10,000-metre drilling program. The updated 1.115-million-ounce project resource includes 505,000 ounces grading an impressive 8.6 g/t in the high-grade Andy Well mine that Latitude bought from Silver Lake Resources earlier this year.
