White Cliff Minerals Limited (ASX: WCN) has been granted all remaining exploration licences (2,813km2) at the company’s Radium Point project, situated on Great Bear Lake in the Canada’s Northwest Territories, following approvals by the Government of Canada.
Commenting on the update, White Cliff, managing director, Troy Whittaker said: “Having these final federal licences granted at Radium Point is the last phase of our application process and the milestone where we now fully transform from applications under assessment to exploration ready at our multi-metal project in Canada.”
Additionally, exploratory drilling has been wrapped up at White Cliff’s 100%-owned Reedy South Gold Project in the Cue Goldfields region of Western Australia. The programme was designed to test strike and depth-extensions to the existing inferred 2012 JORC mineral resource estimate of 42,400oz of gold. All samples are now undergoing assaying at Perth laboratories.
White Cliff is also undertaking a targeted soils and bedrock sampling programme across the largely unexplored and emerging mineral province of Lake Johnston in WA, with the company’s exploration effort currently nearing completion.
“Significant preparatory works are now either complete or underway for the upcoming summer field season in Canada where we are excited to deploy our teams on-ground. “Our initial focus at Radium Point and Nunavut projects in Canada will be infield rock chip sampling, reconnaissance, and the airborne MobileMT geophysical survey which will then be followed up by our maiden drilling campaign which we very much look forward to. Our focus at Reedy South in Western Australia was to identify potential expansions to the known JORC resource. With this campaign now concluded and those assays at the laboratory, we look forward to the results.” Added Troy.
