White Cliff Minerals Limited (ASX: $WCN) has received licence approvals from the North-West Territories regulator for its Radium Point project. The approvals, granted for applications lodged in Q4 2023, mark a significant milestone for the company. The Radium Point Project area, known for historical production of uranium oxide, refined silver, copper, lead, nickel, and cobalt, has been identified as having the highest potential for large-scale mineralisation in Canada by the Northwest Territories Geoscience Office. White Cliff is now the single largest holder of mineral exploration claims and licenses in the Northwest Territories. The company is preparing to commence exploration activities in Q2 2024 and is in the process of finalizing contractor selection for the upcoming work programs.
With the granting of these licences, we are now finalizing contractor selection and anticipate commencing exploration activities in Q2 2024. The Radium Point program will run in close collaboration with planned work at Coppermine, the company's recently granted district scale copper project. In some instances, White Cliff will use the same contractors, with geophysical programs culminating in extensive drilling on outcropping areas identified throughout this large-scale mineralized area over time. While focus will move to finalizing operational aspects of the upcoming exploration program, the Company will also continue to work closely with local communities, indigenous groups, and other stakeholders to ensure activities align with community expectations and these considerations are actively integrated into all activities.
