Great Dirt Resources Ltd. (ASX: $GR8) has announced the completion of follow-up soil and rock chip sampling at the Doherty Manganese Project in New South Wales. The recent assays from Australian Laboratory Services (ALS) in Brisbane have defined multiple 3km manganese soil trends and revealed rock chip samples with manganese grades of up to 50.88%. The project, located within EL 9527, has shown encouraging correlation between soil trends and geophysical targets, indicating significant potential for new discoveries.
Great Dirt's Managing Director, Marty Helean, expressed satisfaction with the progress, stating, 'We are extremely happy to see how well geochemical and geophysical work are coming together. Field operations are moving along steadily with our focus maintained on expanding and building upon previous sampling. As further definition of trends occur, future ground based geophysics can be planned.'
The recent soil and rock chip sampling at the Doherty Manganese Project has defined multiple 3km manganese soil trends and revealed rock chip samples with manganese grades of up to 50.88%. The correlation of soil trends and geophysical targets is encouraging, indicating significant potential for important new discoveries. The ongoing and expanding geochemical and geophysical survey confirms the significant potential for new discoveries, including blind deposits that have until now gone undiscovered. The company's systematic approach to modern exploration techniques aims to test known targets and locate previously unrecognised blind deposits, potentially leading to the downstream processing of high purity manganese.
