Encounter Resources Limited has reported promising high-grade niobium results from the Emily prospect, part of the Aileron project. Recent drilling expanded the mineralisation extent, which is open along strike. Key results include significant niobium intercepts, highlighting the area's potential. The company plans RC drilling in 2025 to further explore mineralisation depth. Encounter's strategy focuses on discovering copper and niobium/REE deposits in Australia, with the Emily prospect being a pivotal part of this plan.
The expansion of the high-grade niobium footprint at Emily is notable, with mineralisation extending across a 9km area through Emily, Luni, and Green. Current drilling at Emily is broad spaced, and further RC drilling is scheduled for early 2025 to refine and extend these high-grade zones at depth.
