West Cobar Metals ASX announcement highlights

West Cobar Metals (ASX:WC1) has released an update on its critical minerals projects, focusing primarily on the Bulla Park Copper-Antimony Project in New South Wales and the Salazar Critical Minerals Project in Western Australia. The company is analyzing recent drilling and geophysical data at Bulla Park, with plans to establish a maiden copper-antimony Mineral Resource estimate. Flotation and concentrate testing are in progress, with outcomes anticipated in December. The Salazar project is being explored for high-purity alumina production, with testwork showing potential for 4N HPA production.

West Cobar Metals' strategic outlook

West Cobar Metals is advancing its critical minerals projects, particularly in copper-antimony and high-purity alumina. At the Bulla Park project, the company is working on identifying high-grade drilling targets and aims to establish a maiden copper-antimony Mineral Resource estimate. Test results from flotation and concentrate testing are expected in December. In the Salazar project, the company is investigating the production of 4N high-purity alumina, supported by an Inferred Mineral Resource of 4 million tonnes of alumina. These projects are strategically important, given the rising global demand for antimony and HPA, driven by supply constraints and their applications in defense, electronics, and energy storage. West Cobar aims to leverage its resource base to strategically grow in the critical minerals sector.

Executive insights from West Cobar Metals

The Bulla Park project is focused on identifying higher-grade areas for future drilling, with the potential for a large tonnage copper-antimony deposit. At Salazar, we are excited about the testwork indicating the potential for 4N high-purity alumina production. This positions West Cobar well amid growing demand for critical minerals driven by global supply constraints and new technological applications.
