Surefire Resources' Victory Bore deposit in WA's Mid West, is looking like the gift that keeps on giving after a program of 62 RC holes for 5189m delivered a 56 per increase in the operation's already hefty vanadium resource. The asset now tips the scales at 235 million tonnes at 0.39 per cent vanadium pentoxide.

Surefire Resources has confirmed the presence of rare earths and kaolin at its Perenjori iron ore project following positive results from a reconnaissance rock chip campaign near recently discovered pegmatites. The anomalous rare earths mineralisation occurs close to the eastern boundary of the tenement hosting the Perenjori iron deposit prompting the explorer to apply for an additional exploration licence contiguous with the site to the east.

Everest Metals Corporation has entered into a tenement sale agreement to wholly acquire two gold-prospective exploration leases southwest of Paynes Find in WA known as the Ninghan project. The asset takes in a 228 square kilometre ground position and is in an area with a host of operations in the one million-ounce club including Minjar Gold's namesake play and Kirkalocka Gold's nearby property.

The final tranche of assay results from a recently completed RC drilling campaign at Surefire Resources' Victory Bore project in WA's Mid-West have dropped through the company's letter box, confirming even more, massive mineralised widths of vanadium pentoxide to add to what is already an enormous resource. Surefire has also uncovered a new vanadium prospect it has called the Mystery Lode.

New assays from RC drilling at Surefire Resources' Victory Bore deposit in WA's Mid West have delivered extensive vanadium mineralisation the company says could rate it amongst the country's best. The work follows the discovery of three parallel mineralised lodes including broad intercepts of up to 56m at 0.48 per cent vanadium oxide with Surefire looking to build on the site's already monstrous 151 million tonne resource.

RC drilling at Surefire Resources' Victory Bore deposit in WA's Mid West region has returned a host of broad vanadium intercepts with widths of up to 92m at 0.41 per cent vanadium pentoxide. The company says the probe has led to the discovery of three parallel mineralised lodes which it believes could bolster its already massive 151 million tonnes mineral resource once additional drilling and modelling is complete.

Surefire Resources has achieved excellent gold recoveries of between 97.6 per cent and 99.5 per cent from gravity and cyanide leach tests on samples from the company's Yidby gold project in the Murchison district of WA's Mid West. The metallurgical test work was designed to provide greater insights into Surefire's potential overall gold recovery and processing options for the project.

As the price of gold continues to recover lost territory, Surefire Resources has wrapped up a five-hole diamond drilling program at the company's Yidby gold project in the Murchison district of WA's Mid West. The campaign was designed to reveal structural and lithological information as the explorer looks to home in on the project's broad gold mineralisation and localised high grades. The drill core has been transported to a laboratory in WA and is currently under the geological microscope.

Surefire Resources has completed a little over 5km of infill drilling at its Victory Bore project with all the early signs suggesting the company could be set to add to what is already a monster vanadium resource in WA's Mid West region. The RC infill drilling covering 1.4km of strike was designed to upgrade confidence in the resource and provide samples for metallurgical test work to feed into the company's ongoing pre-feasibility study.

Surefire Resources has uncovered two new potential gold targets to the west of its Yidby gold deposit in the Mid West region of WA after receiving results from the company's latest RC drilling campaign. The new Marshall prospect is a gold mineralised zone about 150m to the west of the Yidby deposit whilst the Fender target features wide gold mineralisation about 400m north-west of Yidby.

ASX-listed mineral explorer Surefire Resources has tabled a clutch of high-grade, heavy metal hits following a reconnaissance rock chip sampling and mapping exercise at its Kooline lead-silver project, about 200km from Paraburdoo in WA.

Perth-based Surefire Resources is gearing up for 4000m of RC drilling at its Yidby gold project in WA's Mid West region. The program is expected to kick off as early as next week and will build on the legion of wide gold hits produced at the project since its acquisition in August 2020.

Surefire has used a historical data review to light up 15 priority gold and nickel targets at its newly granted Perenjori West tenure, 300km northeast of Perth. The under explored tenure lies within the West Yilgarn nickel-copper-PGE province that has been the recent focus of intense exploration following the discovery of Chalice Mining's world-class Julimar PGE deposit.

Surefire Resources says an updated beneficiation scoping study for its wholly-owned Victory Bore vanadium project, 530km northeast of Perth in WA, has underlined the economic viability of the venture. The company has its hands on a 151 million tonne resource at 0.44 per cent vanadium pentoxide, 25 per cent iron and 6.73 per cent titanium dioxide at the operation.

Surefire Resources has bagged another wide and shallow gold intercept in the latest drilling campaign at its Yidby gold project in WA's Mid West region. The wide and shallow intersection of 8m going 1.43 g/t gold from 18m was encountered as the explorer drilled for extensions to its Yidby Road prospect. The company says up to 4000m of RC drilling is due to kick off in the next few weeks.

Surefire Resources is set to launch a diamond drilling campaign at its Victory Bore vanadium deposit, about 530km north-east from Perth in WA after tying down a drilling contractor to complete the probe. The company already has its footprint all over a 151 million tonne resource at 0.44 per cent vanadium pentoxide, 25 per cent iron and 6.73 per cent titanium dioxide at the operation.

Surefire Resources has narrowed its focus on the vanadium market with the company set to dive into a diamond drilling program at its Victory Bore and Unaly Hill projects, about 560km north-east of Perth in WA. According to the company, it is also revising its economic parameters ahead of a planned prefeasibility study at the operation and has already kicked off discussions with potential partners.

Off the back of strong vanadium demand, multi-element explorer Surefire Resources is looking to kick start its vanadium project in WA's Mid West region. The company's Victory Bore and Unaly Hill inferred resources combine to form a whopping 237Mt of ore going 0.43 per cent vanadium pentoxide and 5.9 per cent titanium dioxide with iron credits.

Buoyed by initial drilling results, Surefire Resources has booked a rig for April to drill out anomalies 400m northwest of its Yidby gold project in WA that returned 16 metres of gold at 1.39 grams per tonne from 16m. The company said the figures suggest a new discovery area hosting a northwest trending structure with wide downhole gold results.

Surefire Resources may be poised to unwrap a parcel of polymetallic treasures after a high−resolution aeromagnetic survey and first-pass exploration work at its Kadji Project in the West Yilgarn region of WA confirmed the presence of nickeliferous ultramafic lithologies. The project is considered highly prospective for nickel, copper and platinum group elements and is in the same province as Chalice Mining's Julimar Gonneville discovery.

ASX-listed Surefire Resources has kicked off negotiations with a string of potential transport and off-take partners for its Perenjori iron ore project in Western Australia.

WA-based Surefire Resources has unveiled a large iron exploration target of between 870 and 1,240 million tonnes boasting a grade of between 29 per cent and a whopping 41 per cent iron at its Perenjori project. The company's share price soared off the back of the announcement finishing the trading day up a cracking 36 per cent.

Surefire Resources could be gearing up for a busy year after drilling at the Yidby Road gold project scooped up a legion of wide gold hits. The best results included a 13 metre intersection running 1.33 grams per tonne gold from 234m including a 2m section grading 3.88 g/t gold from the same depth. The project lies adjacent to the over one million-ounce Minjar gold project in WA.

Surefire Resources is set to kick off the new year with a fresh bit of kit after picking up close to 160 square kilometres of prospective gold ground, some 300km from Perth. The company says its newly acquired tenement is significantly underexplored and that historical soil sampling delivered grades of up to 1 gram per tonne of anomalous gold.

Surefire Resources has kicked off two separate phases of RC drilling that intersected broad zones of sulphides at its Yidby Road gold deposit near the 1.1-million-ounce Minjar gold project in WA. The company peppered Yidby with 22 RC holes totalling 2,298m with a view to extending the existing Yidby deposit. Previous hits at the deposit include 40 metres going 3.01 grams per tonne gold from 24m.

ASX-listed Surefire Resources has unearthed three “exciting” new bedrock conductors at its Kooline lead-silver project in WA after modelling up old airborne electromagnetic data. The company says the conductors, that have never before seen any drilling, are linked to historic, high-grade lead-silver mines.
