Great Western Exploration defines large niobium soil anomaly in WA

Great Western Exploration (ASX:GTE) has announced the identification of a significant niobium soil anomaly, named Sumo, within its 100% owned Yerrida North Project in Western Australia. The anomaly, measuring 2km long by 1km wide, is located 70km south-east of Sandfire Resources' DeGrussa Copper-Gold Project and 30km north-east of Great Western's Oval and Oval South copper-gold targets.

Executive Commentary

The Sumo Niobium Target represents a highly promising development for Great Western Exploration. The identification of this large, coherent niobium soil anomaly, along with the coincident pathfinder geochemistry, supports the potential for a niobium-mineralised system. The Company is eagerly awaiting the results from the heavy mineral concentrate samples, which will provide valuable insights into the niobium mineralogy and potential type of mineralisation system. We are also excited about the prospect of defining more prospective targets as we continue to assess the dataset and undertake further geological interpretation.

Summary

Great Western Exploration's identification of the Sumo Niobium Target within the Yerrida North Project marks a significant milestone, showcasing the company's commitment to exploration and discovery. The robust and coherent niobium soil anomaly, along with the coincident pathfinder geochemistry, underlines the prospectivity of the area for a niobium-mineralised system. The upcoming heavy mineral concentrate sample results are expected to provide crucial information about the niobium mineralisation style and will guide the future exploration programme at the target. With the anticipation of more prospective targets being defined and the commencement of drilling at the giant Oval copper-gold target, Great Western Exploration is poised for further advancements in its exploration endeavors.
