Octava Minerals is advancing its Yallalong antimony project with a new drilling program set to begin by late 2024. This 3000-meter program will target both known and new areas, aiming to capitalize on the current high antimony prices. Previous exploration has shown promising high-grade results, and with geophysical surveys underway, the company is optimistic about discovering more mineralization. Octava continues to focus on new energy metals, including antimony, REEs, lithium, and gold, across its projects in Western Australia.
We are pleased to have secured a drilling contractor for the Yallalong project, which is a significant step forward in our exploration efforts. The recent increase in antimony prices underscores the economic potential of this project. We are focused on uncovering further high-grade antimony mineralization, building on the promising results from previous drilling.
