Meeka Metals' mapping and sampling has highlighted what it believes is an important gold-arsenic anomaly within a 2km-long shear zone at its Murchison gold project, about 28km north-east of Meekatharra in Western Australia. Management says its surface geochemistry picked up the anomalism, which mapping shows as correlating with en echelon splays where previous drilling intersected grades of up to 54g/t gold.

Meeka Metals has extended its positive run of gold hits during the final seven infill holes drilled at its St Anne's prospect with a 31m section grading 1.11grams per tonne gold from 31m including 4m at 4.66g/t gold. St Anne's has an estimated mineral resource of about 277,000 tonnes at an average grade of 2.8g/t gold for a contained 25,000 ounces of gold and forms part of the company's Murchison gold project about 30km north-east of Meekatharra.

Meeka Metals says it has gathered high-grade gold results from 10 infill air-core drillholes at its St Anne's resource target about 30km north-east of Meekatharra, including a 7m hit at a grade of 3.51g/t gold with 2m going 9.84g/t. The company says the results are supported by other high-grade intercepts in adjacent holes, including 1m at 13.45g/t gold.

Meeka Metals has bolstered the 685,000-ounce resource at 2 grams per tonne gold at its Turnberry deposit in Western Australia's Murchison region after delivering another round of high-grade oxide gold from 18 holes of infill drilling. The company is now pushing hard to finalise its development-ready status for next year in order to kick off mining.

Meeka Metals has thrown-up stellar shallow, high-grade gold infill drill hits, including 19m at 8.75 grams per tonne, at its 685,000-ounce Turnberry development project in Western Australia's Murchison province.

Meeka Metals has tabled a solid set of initial assays from shallow infill drilling at its Turnberry deposit within its flagship Murchison gold project in WA. Broad zones of oxide gold running up to an eye-catching 8.53g/t were unearthed from the first 19 holes, with assays expected soon from the remaining 32 holes, which are largely located around the periphery of the designed open pits.

Meeka Metals has revealed it has completed a gravity survey over its St Anne's and Turnberry resource areas to better define their principal mafic gold hosts. It has also begun drilling to extend the Turnberry resource and to probe surrounding thinly tested areas for additional ounces to bolster existing resource numbers.

Meeka Metals has tabled a solid set of numbers from a prefeasibility study into its Murchison gold project, forecasting the return of a post-tax free cash flow of $261 million from a mine life of more than nine years and with a payback period of just 22 months at a gold price of $2750 per ounce. Environmental studies are being fast-tracked.

Meeka Metals has tabled an independent maiden resource of 98 million tonnes grading 890 parts per million total rare earths oxide for 21,560 tonnes of neodymium-praseodymium metal at its Circle Valley project in Esperance. The new resource, based on 12,401m of large-diameter air-core drilling, is contained within an optimised pit shell and above a 430ppm TREO minus cerium oxide cutoff.

Meeka Metals has played its trump card, revealing its highest rare earths mineralisation to date from the latest resource drill-out at its Circle Valley project near Esperance – Western Australia's newest rare earths hotspot. The headline hit returned 4m running at 7475 parts per million total rare earths oxides, which will feed into a maiden mineral resource estimate due to be tabled next month.

Meeka Metals has bumped its total Murchison gold project resource up to 12.7 million tonnes at 3g/t for 1.215 million ounces of gold after revealing an initial oxide gold resource from its St Anne's deposit. The St Anne's resource of 270,000 tonnes at 2.8g/t gold for 25,000 ounces will be included in the company's Murchison prefeasibility study to be released in June.

Meeka Metals has added new impetus to Australia's growing rare earths sector after unveiling 10 square kilometres of high-grade clay-hosted mineralisation at its Circle Valley project in WA. It will declare an initial resource in June after drilling gave grades up to 3084 parts per million total rare earth oxides with consistently high neodymium-praseodymium assays of up to 34 per cent of the TREO values.

Meeka Metals is bringing modern techniques to historical areas at its Murchison gold project with high impact drilling targeting the 25km long greenstone hosted Fairway shear zone that hosts its 700,000-ounce Turnberry gold deposit. The company's St Anne's gold deposit also lies in the Fairway zone and will have a mineral resource estimate scheduled for release in April. A detailed pre-feasibility study for the project remains on track for June.

Multi-commodity explorer Meeka Metals continues to rack up high-grade gold hits at its Circle Valley project near the WA town of Esperance, where it expects to soon deliver a maiden rare earths mineral resource. The intriguing intercepts appear to be evolving into a significant gold footprint covering several kilometres at its underexplored tenure. The head grade came in a 4m core showing 3.89 g/t.

Meeka Metals' latest diamond drilling has confirmed high-grade gold at its St Anne's deposit as part of the company's flagship Murchison gold project.

The company says it remains on target to release a maiden mineral resource for the deposit later this month with further drilling also to kick off in coming weeks.

Meeka Metals has confirmed the presence of high-grade gold at its Circle Valley project near Esperance after assays from a diamond drilling campaign produced impressive results and hit gold in every hole. Late last year the company completed a five-hole diamond drilling program aiming to gather data and test a 1200m by 400m gold anomaly that was detected during a previous RC campaign.

Meeka Metals has begun infill drilling at its Circle Valley rare earths project near Esperance as the company looks toward delivering an initial mineral resource for the site in the June quarter of this year. Last year the explorer produced some impressive results from its maiden drill program at the operation with highlights including one assay that went 12m at 2690 parts per million total rare earth oxides from 20m including 4m at a mammoth 6894ppm TREO from 24m.

Meeka Metals has expanded the mineral resource at its Murchison gold project in outback WA to 1.2m ounces on the back of a 12 per cent increase to its Turnberry deposit in the historic gold-bearing region. The company is putting the finishing touches on a prefeasibility study with an eye to join several players mining in the region.

Meeka Metals has confirmed gold recoveries up to 99.4 per cent from metallurgical test work on ore from the company's St Anne's deposit that forms part of its greater Murchison gold project. The program assessed conventional carbon-in-leach gold recovery for St Anne's mineralisation at 150 micrometre grind size with results ranging from 97 per cent to 99.4 per cent for an average of 97.9 per cent.

Meeka Metals has recorded more shallow gold hits outside the defined mineral resource on the western flank of the company's Turnberry deposit that forms part of its greater Murchison gold project. Turnberry currently has a resource of 11.3 million tonnes grading 1.7g/t for 610,000 ounces of gold with an update scheduled before the end of the year.

Meeka Metals has received positive results from test work at its Cascade Valley rare earths project near Esperance with up to 90.4 per cent of the elements recovered in the less than 20 micrometre fraction. The company says cheap and simple screening and hydro-cyclone classification can be applied to discard the coarse fraction greater than 20 micrometres and remove up to 65.5 per cent of the mass whilst retaining up to 90.4 per cent of the rare earth elements.

Drill testing at Meeka Metals' Murchison gold project has intersected a new zone of shallow high-grade oxide gold at the St Anne's deposit, prompting the company to defer its planned release of St Anne's initial mineral resource until the March quarter next year. The company says the new discovery remains open to the north and depth and has named it the Brassie lode.

Meeka Metals has reported strong oxide gold mineralisation from shallow drilling of a new area of its St Anne's deposit of the company's Murchison gold project, north-east of Meekatharra in WA. The campaign's highlights include 16 metres at 3.48 grams per tonne from 48m, including 8m going 6.17 g/t gold and 12m at 2.48 g/t gold from 76m including 8m grading 3.55 g/t gold.

Meeka Metals has continued its run of solid hits at its Murchison gold project including a 4m intercept returning high-grade results of more than two ounces to the tonne at the company's St Anne's prospect. The 4m section recorded an outstanding 87.5 grams per tonne from 172m and was intercepted 100m below gold oxide results that Meeka reported in August this year.

Meeka Metals' latest assay results from its Circle Valley project near Esperance have uncovered record grades of rare earth elements almost tripling the project's previous highs. The mineralisation included high grades of the valuable “magnet” rare earths that have strong diversified demand. Meeka's shares popped more than 8 per cent to an intra-day high of 7.5 cents on the news.

Meeka Metals has unveiled a solid set of shallow high-grade gold results from air-core drilling at its St Anne's discovery that sits in the company's larger Murchison project in Western Australia. Some of the eye-catching hits include 8m at 11.78 grams per tonne gold inside of a larger 24m parcel running 4.73 g/t gold from 52m and a further 8m at 11.07g/t gold within a 36m interval going 3.61 g/t gold from 44m.

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 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.

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.

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 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.
