Warriedar Resources provides update on Ricciardo antimony potential

Warriedar Resources Limited (ASX:WA8) has provided an update on its initial review of the antimony potential at the Ricciardo deposit, located within its Golden Range Project in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The review confirms significant thickness and grade of antimony mineralisation below both the Ardmore pit and the Copse-Silverstone pits, representing a potential combined strike length of approximately 1km. The company has dispatched a high-grade antimony sample for scoping-level metallurgical testwork and is cautiously optimistic about the emerging opportunity at Ricciardo. This pursuit will be in parallel with the company's growth-focused gold drilling at Golden Range, which remains its current core focus.

Executive Commentary on Antimony Potential at Ricciardo

Amanda Buckingham, Managing Director and CEO of Warriedar Resources, stated, 'Following the recent high-grade antimony intersections at Ricciardo, our initial review of the broader antimony potential has delivered further promise. An exceptionally high-grade antimony interval, as well as a much wider intersection, are now able to be placed in greater context. This context is a broader volume of antimony, not yet well-defined but with existing drilling showing serious scale and grade potential. Importantly, the high-grade antimony appears relatively discrete from higher-grade gold mineralisation, an excellent metallurgical outcome. While it remains early days, we are cautiously optimistic and have commenced initial metallurgical testing for potential processing and antimony recovery. While we are excited about this emerging opportunity at Ricciardo, I want to emphasise however that pursuit of this opportunity will be in parallel with our growth-focused gold drilling at Golden Range, which remains our current core focus.'

Summary of Ricciardo Antimony Potential

Warriedar Resources has reviewed the antimony potential at the Ricciardo deposit and confirmed significant thickness and grade of antimony mineralisation below both the Ardmore pit and the Copse-Silverstone pits, representing a potential combined strike length of approximately 1km. The company has dispatched a high-grade antimony sample for scoping-level metallurgical testwork and is cautiously optimistic about the emerging opportunity at Ricciardo. The review also highlighted the potential for Ricciardo to host contiguous antimony mineralization of significant thickness for an approximately 1km strike length from Ardmore to Silverstone. Antimony is recognized as a critical mineral globally, and the recent increase in its price due to export restrictions in China adds further significance to Warriedar's exploration efforts. The company's focus on rapidly building its resource inventory through modern, innovative exploration aligns with its ambitions to capitalize on the emerging antimony potential while maintaining its core focus on gold drilling at Golden Range.
