A strategic land grab by Reach Resources has resulted in the company building a dominant presence in the Gascoyne region after picking up the Morrissey Hill lithium project, the Camel Hill rare earths project in addition to the White Castles manganese project. The three projects cover a total of four tenements and build on the company’s two established operations with the Skyline and Critical Elements projects in the region.

Critical metals explorer Reach Resources has uncovered more high-grade niobium from surface sampling at its Wabli Creek project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region. New rock-chip results, peaking at 10.3 per cent niobium oxide, were taken 400m from previous sampling of a 1.5km mapped pegmatite that returned 14.3 per cent niobium oxide, suggesting Reach has its foot on the tail of a potential stacked pegmatite swarm.

After a successful $4 million capital raise, Reach Resources is set to test its Morrissey Hill lithium project with a maiden drilling program to target areas that returned high-grade lithium from rock chips. Management says its 4500m campaign will be split between reverse-circulation and diamond drilling at its project in Western Australia’s emerging Gascoyne region.

Reach Resources’ imminent maiden drill campaign at its Bonzer pegmatite field in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region now has new intrigue attached after the company unveiled soil samples going as high as 759ppm lithium oxide. Assays came in at an average of 128ppm lithium oxide, suggesting a strong, coherent lithium anomaly extending more than 1.5km along strike and 700m in width and remaining open.

Reach Resources’ maiden reverse-circulation and deep diamond drilling at its Bonzer prospect at Yinnetharra has intersected multiple thick pegmatites in all holes, including some at depth that do not outcrop at surface. The program was run to follow-up extensive soil and rock-chip sampling results that returned significant lithium, caesium and tantalum values. The discovery highlights the potential for significant lithium mineralisation.

Reach Resources has identified more than 50 new pegmatites during fieldwork at its Morrissey Hill lithium project in WA’s emerging Gascoyne region, as drilling, rock-chip and soil sampling continues. It says it has mapped individual pegmatites extending up to 2km along strike and up to 30m in width in the sequence that hosts Delta Lithium's neighbouring Malinda deposit, which boasts mineralisation from surface to 350m.

Reach Resources has entered into a tenement sale agreement to acquire a new exploration licence from Firebird Metals, extending its grip on prospective manganese terrain in Western Australia’s Edmund Basin. The strategy is in line with the company’s anticipation of increasing global demand for critical lithium, manganese and rare earths in the ongoing global phase of decarbonisation and attendant electrification.

Early boots on ground at Reach Resources’ White Castle manganese project in WA’s Gascoyne region have been handsomely rewarded with high-grade manganese readings up to an eye-catching peak of 48 per cent. The company has amassed an impressive foothold in the emerging critical metals province after acquiring an additional exploration licence from Firebird Metals and extending its tenure to 70km at the prospective Edmund Basin.

Reach Resources believes it edging closer to proving up a fractionated, lithium-bearing pegmatite system at its Bonzer prospect that sits within its 100 per cent-owned Morrissey Hill lithium project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region. Assays from the first 4500m of phase-one drilling suggest the holes hit a halo of lower-grade mineralisation with encouraging geochemistry and the company will now double down on its lithium search.

Reach Resources has mobilised Strike Drilling to start a 9000m phase-two reverse-circulation drill program at its Morrissey Hill lithium project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region – right next door to the notable Delta Lithium discovery. The campaign is designed to follow up results from previous drilling at the Bonzer prospect where all phase-one drillholes hit pegmatites, with some individual intercepts up to 30m long.

Reach Resources has sprung back into drilling action at its Morrissey Hill lithium project in Western Australia’s emerging Gascoyne region to double down on the area’s pegmatite potential following phase-one drill results. Its 9000m RC program will test the extension of multiple thick, stacked lithium-bearing pegmatites at its Bonzer prospect, in addition to six of 50 undrilled pegmatite targets mapped during fieldwork.

Reach Resources says it has seen multiple thick, stacked pegmatites in reverse-circulation (RC) cuttings within the same rock package that hosts Delta Lithium’s Malinda and Jamesons projects to the east and west. The company says it has now completed 57 RC holes for 5282m at its Morrissey Hill lithium project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region, with the majority intersecting pegmatites.

Reach Resources has added 16 new targets to its niobium-rare earths project in the highly-prospective Gascoyne battery metals province of Western Australia, about 260km east of Carnarvon, following soil assays. The company says a tenement-wide soils program at its Wabli Creek project threw up promising assays going 3860 parts per million total rare earth oxides (TREO), 2744ppm, 2425ppm, 2271ppm, 1976ppm and 1918ppm.

Reach Resources has linked up with emerging developer Delta Lithium, signing an earn-in and JV agreement on its Morrissey Hill and Camel Hill projects in Western Australia’s prospective Gascoyne region. Delta will pay Reach a non-refundable $3.2 million and can earn an initial 51 per cent interest by spending $3 million on exploration within the first two years.

With the till topped up to the tune of $3.2 million, courtesy of a sweet, new JV deal with budding producer Delta Lithium, Reach Resources has landed boots on ground at its Wabli Creek niobium-rare earths project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region. The company has at least 16 compelling anomalies to ground-truth, with recent soil geochemical surveys indicating niobium, rare earths and lithium mineral systems.

A geophysical data review at Reach Resources’ Wabli Creek project in WA’s Gascoyne region has identified a magnetic intrusive it believes may be linked to the source of niobium, yttrium and rare earths mineralisation. The target is coincident with previous high-grade results from eluvial samples and soil geochemical anomalies including 32 per cent niobium oxide, 0.72 per cent yttrium oxide and 2.6 per cent TREO.

Reach Resources’ mission to find the mineralisation source at its Wabli Creek project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region appears to have paid off, with samples chipped off the bedrock at the site returning 17.65 per cent niobium oxide. A recent geophysical data review at the operation identified an oval-shaped magnetic intrusive it believes is linked to the source of niobium, yttrium and rare earths mineralisation.

Reach Resources has stepped closer to unlocking the exploration potential of its Wabli Creek rare earths project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region after scheduling a crucial Aboriginal heritage survey. The company today confirmed it would be meeting next month with the local Burringurrah Aboriginal Corporation in a bid to gain clearance for its long-awaited maiden drilling program that could launch as soon as next quarter.

Reach Resources says geophysics, geochemistry and rock microscopy have confirmed a 4.5-square-kilometre oval body as an alkaline intrusive and the likely source of big rare earths-niobium hits at its Wabli Creek project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region. Wabli Creek is one of two exploration licences held by Reach in the highly-prospective Yinnetharra area that is well-known for its often unusual, but critical mineral assemblages.

Reach Resources says it has secured the vital heritage clearance that will allow it to launch a drilling program at its Wabli Creek niobium-rare earths project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region. The company now plans to target a series of highly-prospective areas at its ground after recently revealing several high-grade assays from rock chips that were taken directly from outcropping granitic bedrock.

Reach Resources has identified new high-priority targets rich in niobium and rare earths after nailing down a comprehensive mapping and sampling campaign at its Wabli Creek project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region. The company plans to use the results gleaned from its latest work to plan a drilling program that it expects to roll out towards the end of this year.

Reach Resources says a grab sampling program has helped it unlock the geological key to its Wabli Creek rare earths play in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region. Armed with its newfound wisdom, the company is now drawing up an exploration plan aimed at replicating earlier successes at the site that include rock-chip samples from bedrock returning assays up to 17.65 per cent niobium oxide.

Reach Resources has launched its maiden reverse-circulation drilling program at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Wabli Creek project in WA’s Gascoyne to probe fresh niobium and rare earths targets. Intriguing and anomalous results previously taken from 74 surface samples during the company’s latest mapping and sampling program set the train in motion and the drill rig is now poised to test what lies beneath.

Reach Resources has wound up its RC drilling program at the company’s Wabli Creek project in WA’s Gascoyne region where it searched for the source of niobium and rare earths from recent surface sampling. The company launched its maiden drill program at Wabli Creek on the 4th of October and completed 40 holes for 3013m of drilling, averaging 212m of advance per day at three priority targets.

Reach Resources’ recent strategic review of its Murchison South gold project near Payne’s Find in Western Australia has remodelled and identified a number of open mineralised zones at its Blue Heaven prospect. The review has led to a theoretical repositioning of the Primrose Fault - a key mineralisation control at the project – which has exposed gaps in the block model and opened-up Blue Heaven’s western flank for further exploration.

Reach Resources has intercepted thick rare earth hits at its 100 per cent owned Wabli Creek project in WA’s Gascoyne region, scoring a whopping 109m running 1109 parts per million total rare earth oxides. Initial assays from 18 holes drilled at the company’s Pelops target returned significant intersections of rare earths from surface, with multiple holes ending in mineralisation.

Amid a grand celebration of the WA ASX-listed small cap company community on Friday night, Larvotto Resources triumphed to take out the coveted Bulls N’ Bears “Peak Performer of the Year” award after achieving a peak share price hike of 993 per cent. Estrella Resources took out the other major award and is the Bulls N' Bears “Runner of the Year”, claiming a 240 per cent share price jump from January to November 2024.

Reach Resources has uncovered more thick rare earth hits at its 100 per cent-owned Wabli Creek project in WA’s Gascoyne region, hitting an impressive 76m grading 1677 parts per million total rare earth oxides. Assays from the remaining 22 drill-holes returned consistent zones of the valuable magnet rare earth oxides, returning up to 1809ppm with the potential for additional high-grade zones.

Reach Resources has anointed global mining technical services firm Mining Plus to independently review the expansion potential of its Murchison South gold project in WA and to prioritise targets for a new-year drilling campaign. It follows Reach’s own review that identified substantial potential and highlighted immediate drilling opportunities at the project, with plans now made for a 12-hole RC drill program at the site.

Reach Resources’ share price surged 29pc this morning to 1.8 cents, up some 125pc on this time last week, after the company unveiled initial drilling results from its Murchison South gold project in Western Australia. The first two reverse circulation drill holes intersected shallow high-grade gold, including an impressive 41m section grading 2.01g/t.

Reach Resources’ latest drilling program has confirmed the company’s gold model with mineralisation intersected in every hole, validating historical results at the company’s Murchison South gold project, near Paynes Find in WA’s gold-rich Murchison region. The company now plans to optimise pit shells targeting the shallow, higher-grade, narrow-vein gold encountered within the project’s low-grade mineralised envelopes.

Reach Resources has unveiled a shallow, high-grade and open-pittable resource of 61,300 gold ounces at its Blue Heaven deposit, part of the company’s Murchison South project in Western Australia. Independent consultancy Mining Plus has put its stamp of approval on a mineral resource of 681,000 tonnes grading 2.8g/t gold from an optimised pit design at the company’s Blue Heaven deposit.
