ASX-listed Oar Resources has appointed senior mining executive, Justin Richard as its new Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, effective immediately. Richard previously served as Managing Director of ASX-listed Alara Resources, where he led that company through several capital raisings, a bankable feasibility study, a maiden ore reserve estimation and an offtake agreement.

ASX-listed junior explorer Oar Resources says it now has boots on the ground at its Crown nickel-copper-PGE project in the emerging Julimar province about 70km north-east of Perth in WA. The Perth-based company wasted no time kicking off its first-pass exploration phase at Crown after being granted an exploration licence covering the project area in the previous quarter.

Oakdale Resources is already looking to expand its drilling program over the Gibraltar halloysite project in the SA, with the company seeking approval to extend the drilling pattern to the north of the prospect. In other news, drilling has also wrapped up in the US for Oakdale, with planning underway now for the 2021 field season at both the Lambarson and Douglas Canyon gold projects.

Latin Resources continues to build its portfolio of projects in Australia, having landed a new lease in NSW's prolific Lachlan Fold Belt. The new Burdett project lies immediately to the south of the company's recently acquired Manildra tenure, delivering Latin a strategic position over the historic Burdett goldfield.

ASX-listed Oakdale Resources has made the most of its time at the company's Gibraltar halloysite-kaolin project on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula closing out a maiden aircore drilling program in under two weeks. The quick work made at the site was possible due to the near-surface nature of the mineralisation with resulting assays expected back within a month.

ASX-listed explorer, Oakdale Resources, has kicked off a maiden aircore drilling program at its Gibraltar halloysite-kaolin project on SA's Eyre Peninsula aimed at confirming the extent of the mineralisation that was detected by historic shallow drilling. The company plans to drill 50 holes totalling an estimated 2,500m over its target area 15km north of Andromeda Metals' Mount Hope kaolin-halloysite project.

Oakdale Resources has revealed some tantalising results from its maiden drill program in Nevada with the first diamond drill hole at its Lambarson Canyon gold project intersecting primary epithermal gold mineralisation below 243.54m down-hole.

ASX-listed explorer, Oakdale Resources, has received regulatory approvals for a maiden aircore drilling program at its Gibraltar halloysite-kaolin project on SA's Eyre Peninsula. The company says a drilling contractor has been locked in and the drill rig and geological crew are expected to be on site early next month.

Oakdale Resources' drilling looks to be on target at Lambarson Canyon in the US, with the company having now finished its first diamond drill hole down to nearly 250m below surface. Geological logging indicates that the target stratigraphy has been tested, intersecting a range of potentially auriferous lithologies including quartz breccia's, multiple porphyry dykes, and quartz-sulphide veining at depth.

Oakdale Resources' shares have been on a tear of late after the company joined the hunt for the next Julimar and quickly identified a bevy of targets across its Crown nickel-PGE project in Western Australia. The new project is a just stone's throw away from Chalice Gold Mines' headline-grabbing discovery, located a mere 9km to the east of Julimar delivering Oakdale a prime position in this emerging nickel terrane.
