Aruma Resources (ASX: $AAJ) announces high-grade REE discovery at Salmon Gums Project

Aruma Resources Limited (ASX: $AAJ) has reported the successful completion of its first-pass Rare Earth Elements (REE) focused drilling program at the Salmon Gums Project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The drilling program identified multiple zones of significant high-grade ionic clay REEs, with the highest grade REE sample reported to date in the region. The company's Managing Director, Glenn Grayson, expressed excitement over the potential for extensive REE mineralization at the project area.

Executive Commentary on High-Grade REE Discovery

The high-grade results returned from our first-pass REE-focused drilling at the Salmon Gums Project is exciting for Aruma. It appears that the higher grade mineralization extends further onto our Project area, which enhances the potential for it to host extensive REE mineralization. The exceptional grades and thicknesses reported in this maiden drilling program, along with the highest grade ionic clay REE reported in the region to date - in surface sample AR33002 - highlights the largely untested REE potential of Salmon Gums and our team's skill in identifying and advancing high-value mineral prospects.

Summary of REE Discovery and Future Plans

Aruma Resources' first-pass REE-focused drilling program at the Salmon Gums Project has successfully identified multiple zones of significant high-grade ionic clay REEs, extending the northern reach of recent REE discoveries in the region. The highest grade ionic clay REE sample reported to date in the area further underscores the project's potential to host a significant ionic clay deposit. The company plans to undertake a targeted second phase of REE-focused air core drilling over the next quarter to better define the anomalism and assess the Project's REE resource potential. The Salmon Gums Project, located in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, is prospective for ionic clay REE and has shown promising results in this initial drilling program.
