Perth-based minerals explorer Surefire Resources has appointed as managing director a highly experienced resources executive with a 30-year career in exploration and mining. Paul Burton is a geologist with an MSc in Mineral Exploration from McGill University, Canada and was recently the MD of Tivan, formerly TNG. His experience in vanadium will be welcome at Surefire which has massive vanadium resources in WA.

The final tranche of assay results from a recently completed RC drilling campaign at Surefire Resources' Victory Bore project in WA's Mid-West have dropped through the company's letter box, confirming even more, massive mineralised widths of vanadium pentoxide to add to what is already an enormous resource. Surefire has also uncovered a new vanadium prospect it has called the Mystery Lode.

New assays from RC drilling at Surefire Resources' Victory Bore deposit in WA's Mid West have delivered extensive vanadium mineralisation the company says could rate it amongst the country's best. The work follows the discovery of three parallel mineralised lodes including broad intercepts of up to 56m at 0.48 per cent vanadium oxide with Surefire looking to build on the site's already monstrous 151 million tonne resource.

RC drilling at Surefire Resources' Victory Bore deposit in WA's Mid West region has returned a host of broad vanadium intercepts with widths of up to 92m at 0.41 per cent vanadium pentoxide. The company says the probe has led to the discovery of three parallel mineralised lodes which it believes could bolster its already massive 151 million tonnes mineral resource once additional drilling and modelling is complete.

Surefire Resources has achieved excellent gold recoveries of between 97.6 per cent and 99.5 per cent from gravity and cyanide leach tests on samples from the company's Yidby gold project in the Murchison district of WA's Mid West. The metallurgical test work was designed to provide greater insights into Surefire's potential overall gold recovery and processing options for the project.

ASX-listed mineral explorer Surefire Resources has tabled a clutch of high-grade, heavy metal hits following a reconnaissance rock chip sampling and mapping exercise at its Kooline lead-silver project, about 200km from Paraburdoo in WA. The bumper results include 16.2 and 14.2 per cent lead with traces of anomalous silver running 41 and 55 grams per tonne.

WA-based explorer Surefire Resources has appointed geologist and mineral economist Cain Fogarty as CEO. The company says Fogarty brings to the role a varied skill set accumulated over a career spanning more than two decades in the mining industry across Australia, Asia and Africa, including exploration, resource growth, feasibility studies and executive management.

Aiming to kick its vanadium resource into production, Surefire Resources has completed a bout of infill RC and diamond drilling at the company's 100 per cent owned Victory Bore vanadium deposit in WA's Mid West region 50km south of Sandstone. The drilling program comprised 62 RC holes for 5188m and two diamond drill holes for 292m.

Surefire Resources is keen to keep its drill bits spinning as it looks to bring in more rigs across the company's gold, iron ore and vanadium projects in Western Australia. Having just wrapped up a round of RC drilling and a diamond hole at its gold and vanadium projects, Surefire is now lining up a rig for its iron ore venture.

Buoyed by initial drilling results, Surefire Resources has booked a rig for April to drill out anomalies 400m northwest of its Yidby gold project in WA that returned 16 metres of gold at 1.39 grams per tonne from 16m. The company said the figures suggest a new discovery area hosting a northwest trending structure with wide downhole gold results.

Surefire Resources may be poised to unwrap a parcel of polymetallic treasures after a high−resolution aeromagnetic survey and first-pass exploration work at its Kadji Project in the West Yilgarn region of WA confirmed the presence of nickeliferous ultramafic lithologies. The project is considered highly prospective for nickel, copper and platinum group elements and is in the same province as Chalice Mining's Julimar Gonneville discovery.

ASX-listed Surefire Resources has kicked off negotiations with a string of potential transport and off-take partners for its Perenjori iron ore project in Western Australia.

The best results included a 13 metre intersection running 1.33 grams per tonne gold from 234m including a 2m section grading 3.88 g/t gold from the same depth. The project lies adjacent to the over one million-ounce Minjar gold project in WA.

ASX-listed Surefire Resources has unearthed three “exciting” new bedrock conductors at its Kooline lead-silver project in WA after modelling up old airborne electromagnetic data. The company says the conductors, that have never before seen any drilling, are linked to historic, high-grade lead-silver mines. Surefire is now planning a follow-up ground electromagnetic survey and has recently secured government funding for the subsequent drilling campaign.

ASX-listed junior explorer Surefire Resources has uncovered three new targets at its exciting Yidby gold discovery at its namesake project in WA's south-west Murchison district following recent soil sampling work. The Perth-based company says results from the geochemical survey comprising 520 samples point to three discrete and significant soil anomalies south-east and along strike of Yidby.

After a significant weather-related exploration setback at its exciting Yidby gold discovery in the Murchison region of WA, Surefire Resources is back in the field with a turbocharged exploration program that will look to follow up on prior stellar drill results. The drill rods are set to start turning again in September, a drone survey has been commissioned and a 500-strong soil sampling campaign has now been completed.

ASX-listed junior explorer Surefire Resources has been buoyed by a recently completed scoping study on its Perenjori iron ore project in WA's south-west Murchison district that points to a potentially economically viable mining and beneficiation operation producing high-grade magnetite concentrate. The company says the study shows a “clear pathway” to meeting its 30 per cent internal rate of return hurdle for a project development.

Surefire Resources has continued to build on its exciting late 2020 gold discovery at the Yidby Road prospect with a further set of thick intersections from a follow-up RC drilling program at its Yidby gold project in WA. The pick of the latest assays from Yidby Road was a 26m intercept going at 2.02 g/t gold from 126m including 2m at 10.05 g/t from 141m.

Surefire Resources will test a potential intrusive-related mineral system near old silver and lead workings at Kooline in the central Pilbara region with deep drilling after securing WA government co-funding and finishing a successful review of previously generated geophysical data. The ASX junior says re-processing and interpretation of VTEM survey results pointed to a large target and series of conductors just west of Kooline.

Surefire Resources has returned another impressive batch of wide, high-grade gold intersections from a follow-up reverse circulation drilling program at its exciting Yidby Road gold discovery in Western Australia.

ASX-listed gold explorer, Surefire Resources, has picked up the first of several tenements it is looking to secure near the town of Perenjori in the Mid West region of WA. The Perth-based company was this week granted the 69-square-kilometre patch of under-explored territory in the Koolanooka Greenstone Belt that has returned intriguing hints of gold from a limited amount of historical drilling.

Surefire Resources is poised to commence a 30-hole reverse circulation drilling campaign totalling 3,000 metres at its Victory Bore project near Sandstone, WA, next month, to test seven target areas highlighted by anomalous gold with coincident geophysical anomalism. Previous drilling in the 1990s defined a gold-in-soil anomaly about 4.4 kilometres long and up to 750 metres wide.

Surefire Resources has procured the prospective, yet under-explored Victory Bore vanadium project near Sandstone, WA, from ASX-listed High Grade Metals in a cash and scrip deal worth $1.25m. The company now holds a global combined inferred mineral resource of 237.2 million tonnes grading 0.43% vanadium pentoxide, which incorporates the large Victory Bore deposit and the nearby Unaly Hill deposit.

Surefire Resources' high level geological review of its Kooline project in the Ashburton region of WA, has thrown up extensive, untested areas the company says are prospective for lead-silver-copper and gold mineralisation. In the north, scattered gold results were reported from historical auger samples and shallow drilling, whilst to the south an investigation of the Kooline mine workings confirmed the potential of the mineralisation to thicken along strike.

Surefire Resources has intersected wide, high grade vanadium mineralisation in a resource extension drilling program completed at its Unaly Hill project, located near Sandstone in the Murchison region of WA. Results up to 34m @ 0.53% vanadium pentoxide from 79m down-hole, including 16m @ 0.69% vanadium pentoxide from 89m have extended the strike of the existing resources by another 4km to the north northeast.

Surefire Resources has generated high grade magnetic concentrates going up to 1.46% vanadium pentoxide from simple crushing and magnetic separation metallurgical test work on fresh vanadiferous magnetite ore composites from its Unaly Hill project near Sandstone in WA. The company said the testing also successfully rejected most of the waste silica, alumina and calcium content, whilst upgrading the iron and valuable titania content of the ore composite samples.

ASX listed Surefire Resources' recent reverse circulation drilling at its Unaly Hill project, near Sandstone in the Murchison region of WA, has extended the vanadium mineralisation for several kilometres along strike.
