Red Metal rare earths play rides tailwind from Aus-Japan alliance

Red Metal Limited is pushing its Sybella rare earths project near Mount Isa towards low-cost heap leach processing just as Australia and Japan step up critical minerals cooperation. The company's column leach tests are in progress, while ion exchange trials have delivered a nine-fold enrichment of rare earths and removed iron and aluminium, pointing to a simpler, cheaper flowsheet.

Red Metal strikes fertile system in WA Paterson Province

Red Metal Limited's maiden drilling at its Pulkarrimarra project in Western Australia's Paterson Province has confirmed the presence of fertile host rocks and hydrothermal systems linked to copper and gold mineralisation. While assays did not return economic grades, the program validated key geological targets and highlighted several untested anomalies, positioning the project as a priority focus for further exploration.

Red Metal, Chalice Mining link up in hunt for next copper-gold frontier

Red Metal Limited has linked up with ASX-listed mid-tier explorer Chalice Mining under an earn-in joint venture on ground prospective for copper-gold at Red Metal's Callabonna project in South Australia's Curnamona Province. The JV will focus on a series of magnetic and gravity targets along the site's northern margin, where wide-spaced historic drilling has identified large hydrothermal breccias reminiscent of an iron oxide copper-gold system.

Red Metal Ltd heap leach tests point to low-cost Qld rare earths win

Red Metal Ltd's Sybella project in Queensland is shaping up as a low-cost heap leach play as leach tests show up to 81% magnetic rare earth oxide recoveries with low iron impurities using only weak acid levels. Bottle roll tests revealed a pH sweet spot between 2.0 and 2.5, where high recoveries of magnet rare earth oxides including the lucrative elements neodymium and praseodymium could be recovered using room-temperature sulphuric acid.

Red Metal drill hole points to Qld silver-lead-zinc opportunities

Red Metal's first scout diamond drill hole at its Bluebush silver-lead-zinc prospect in northwest Queensland has delivered 73m at 9g/t silver, including a 12m hit at 19g/t silver. The runs include base metal hits, with the 73m interval assaying 990ppm lead and 256ppm zinc from 301m and the 12m assaying 2446ppm lead and 780ppm zinc from 362m.

Red Metal drilling hits thick rare earth intersections from surface

Red Metal's latest infill drilling program has unearthed thick intersections of valuable magnet rare earths at the Kary zone within the company's Sybella project, 20km from the Queensland mining town of Mount Isa. Multiple long intervals up to 162m thick containing the four magnet metals were encountered from surface or shallow depths from the infill drilling, with many holes ending in mineralisation.
