and, guess what the new focus is?

New Murchison Tenement Application Targeting Antimony

Highlights
• New tenement application (E09/2990) immediately along strike from Octava Minerals Limited’s (ASX:OCT) Yallalong Antimony Project in the Murchison region of WA. Interpretation is that the geological corridor which hosts Octava’s antimony mineralisation trends into the new 244.9KM2 application
• Historic rock chip sampling and shallow drilling at Octava’s Yallalong Project returned strong antimony (Sb) mineralisation with rock chip values up to 60.1% Sb and historic drilling at the Discovery Prospect intersecting up to 6.83% Sb over 3m in drill hole YRC06
• The Company will immediately commence desktop work to review any historical exploration results on the new Application with an exploration program to commence immediately on grant of the exploration license
• Antimony prices have surged 200% in 2024 driven in part by recent September 2024 export restrictions from China that were imposed with export shipments from China dropping by 97%
