Godolphin Resources Limited (ASX: $GRL) has achieved significant milestones during the quarter ended 31 March 2024. The company secured a 51% interest in the Narraburra Rare Earth Elements (REE) Project, with 100% ownership attained post quarter end. Additionally, the exploration license EL9628 'Trungley' was fully granted by the NSW Government's Department of Industry and Investment, increasing GRL's landholding in the area to over 500km2. The second phase of metallurgical testing by ANSTO demonstrated excellent extraction rates of REE from composite samples representative of mining intervals on the Narraburra REE Project.
Managing Director Ms Jeneta Owens expressed satisfaction with the achievements, stating, 'Godolphin achieved another round of important milestones associated with the development of its highly prospective Narraburra Rare Earths Project, as well as exploration initiatives across its copper and gold projects during the quarter. Pleasingly, the Company met the requirements to earn a 51% ownership of Narraburra in accordance with the terms of its JV agreement, which was increased to 100% subsequent to the end of the period. This, alongside the recently granted exploration license covering Trungley, leaves the Company extremely well positioned to execute our stated exploration and development strategies.'
