Lycaon Resources begins exploration

Lycaon Resources (ASX:LYN) has launched its first drilling program at the Stansmore Nb-REE/IOCG target within the West Arunta Project. This site is marked by a large magnetic high, suggesting potential for significant mineral deposits. The company has secured up to $180,000 from the Western Australian Exploration Incentive Scheme to aid the drilling operations.

Overview and future prospects

Lycaon Resources has embarked on a drilling program at its wholly-owned West Arunta Stansmore Project, covering 173 km². The project, located north of other notable discoveries, targets a significant magnetic anomaly identified through advanced geophysical modeling. Historical exploration in the area has been limited, with past efforts not fully testing the magnetic potential. The current drilling, supported by government funding, aims to uncover significant mineral resources, with results expected in the coming weeks. The company's strategic focus is on exploring underexplored regions with promising mineral potential, backed by modern exploration techniques and financial incentives.

Executive insights on Stansmore drilling

The Stansmore anomaly has the potential to be a major discovery, comparable to other significant deposits like Australia's Ernst Henry copper-gold mine.
