Gold-focused Artemis Resources has appointed Julian Hanna as its managing director, as the company plans extensive drilling at its Karratha gold project.
GreenTech Metals has intersected thick copper-zinc zones below six shoots during a new 1743m drilling program, indicating significant resource expansion potential at its Whundo project in WA's Pilbara region. The campaign was designed to drill-test underexplored mineralisation along a 2.1km-long string of targets at Whundo and was followed up by DHEM surveys on selected holes in a bid to identify new copper-zinc mineralised zones.
This week's Bulls N' Bears Runner of the Week is … LiveHire. Its share price jumped 95.83 per cent on news of it entering a bid implementation agreement for an all-cash takeover offer priced at 4.5 cents per share – an impressive 75.8 per cent premium to its 30-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP). Other movers and shakers this week were Artemis Resources, LTR Pharma and Noxopharm.
With world copper prices remaining close to all-time highs, GreenTech Metals believes it now has a “significant exploration opportunity” after an exhaustive review at its Whundo project in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The review highlighted four significant volcanogenic massive sulphide copper-zinc targets within a 2.2km-long zone, offering considerable scope for resource extensions to the 5.3 million-tonne Whundo copper-zinc deposit.

Minerals exploration and development company GreenTech Metals has suddenly found itself next to a new power-play among lithium giants right next door to its own developing West Pilbara lithium project in Western Australia. Significant corporate activity is targeting the region, including global lithium giant SQM's joint venture (JV) with Novo Resources and separately, SQM and Hancock Prospecting's $1.7 billion bid for Azure Minerals.
GreenTech Metals has revealed West Pilbara pegmatite intersections up to 24.6m thick in a maiden diamond drillhole that reached down to 810.2m at its Osborne joint venture lithium project … with more holes still to come. The company believes its highlight hit from 674m downhole could represent a down-dip extension of a mapped pegmatite at surface.
ASX-listed junior GreenTech Metals is leaps and bounds into a project-scale field program targeting historic lithium and recently-identified soil geochemical anomalies in Western Australia. The company today revealed it had identified nine broad lithium soil anomalous zones across its West Pilbara licence package, which covers a total area of 32 square kilometres and has more than 60sq km that are still to be mapped.
A deep dive into an historical dataset coupled with boots on ground has lit up a 10km lithium trend at GreenTech Metals' West Pilbara projects that sit tantalisingly close to Azure Minerals' Andover lithium discovery. Field mapping and analysis of historical soil sampling has etched out two distinct lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite trends where recent rock-chip sampling returned assays peaking at 3.6 per cent lithium oxide.
GreenTech Metals has confirmed its discovery of a new southern high-grade lithium pegmatite trend, with solid hits of up to 3.6 per cent lithium oxide in the latest assays reported from its Osborne joint venture. The find could extend the overall scale of pegmatite-hosted lithium mineralisation eastwards from the company's adjoining Ruth Well project in Western Australia's Pilbara region.
RC drilling at Novo Resources' Milburn nickel-copper-gold target near Karratha in WA has returned a swag of anomalous copper hits including 3m at 0.59 per cent from 94m, inside of a broader 13m intercept grading 0.39 per cent from 92m. The operation is adjacent to Artemis Resources' Carlow Castle project where earlier this year the company outlined a 14.3 million tonne inferred resource going 0.4 per cent for 53,000 tonnes of contained copper.

Cyclone Metals is poised to drill into its Nickol River project in WA after pulling some exquisite gold nuggets from test pits it says confirms the presence of a gold-bearing quartz reef system at the site. The work extends a solid run of form that has seen the explorer unearth specimens grading up to 712 grams per sample setting the stage for a highly anticipated drill program.

In line with its new gold focus, the company will undertake a heritage survey over the Monarch and Conqueror targets in the current quarter. Both targets are within trucking distance of its Radio Hill processing plant.
