Taruga Minerals quarterly activities update

Taruga Minerals (ASX:TAR) has provided an update on its quarterly activities for the period ending 30 September 2024. The company concentrated on exploration projects in Western Australia and South Australia, with significant advancements in exploration licenses and ongoing projects.

Taruga Minerals strategic exploration focus

During the quarter ending 30 September 2024, Taruga Minerals concentrated on expanding its exploration activities in Australia. The company applied for exploration licenses for the Uaroo West and Uaroo East projects in Western Australia, known for their potential in base metals and uranium. At the Mt Craig Copper Project in South Australia, recent drilling confirmed high-grade copper findings. Challenges arose at the Flinders Project due to compliance issues, leading to a temporary halt in fieldwork. The Torrens and Martins Well Projects were relinquished as they no longer aligned with Taruga's priorities. Financially, the company reported a cash position of $2.1 million, with exploration expenditures at $120,000. Taruga continues to explore new acquisition opportunities to enhance its portfolio, focusing on promising mineral provinces and ensuring strategic alignment with its exploration goals.

Executive insights on exploration progress

The geological setting at Uaroo is highly promising, and we are eager to explore its potential for base metals, iron ore, and uranium. Our activities at Mt Craig have yielded encouraging copper results, and we continue to assess further opportunities for mineralization. Despite setbacks at the Flinders Project, we remain committed to our strategic priorities and will focus our efforts where the exploration success potential is highest.
