Lodestar identifies new Earaheedy copper targets

Lodestar Minerals (ASX:LSR) has identified three new copper (Cu) targets at the Anticline Prospect in the Earaheedy Project in Western Australia.

The targets were defined following the compilation of a total of 637 samples taken in the newly granted E69/3532 tenement across two prospects: Anticline and Imbin Central, which had respectively 565 and 72 samples.

Samples at the Anticline Prospect had a grid spacing of 400 x 400m in the main area of interests and 800 x 200m grid in the regional extensions. These were targeting extensions from the targets identified from the 524 samples sampled in early 2024 on a 200 x 100m grid. Imbin Central Prospect had a grid spacing of 400 x 200m targeting a gravity high.

“After more than 9620 soil samples completed by Lodestar since 2022, we are pleased to announce newly defined targets at our Earaheedy Project in Western Australia,” Managing Director, Ed Turner, said.

“E69/3532 is one of our most prospective tenements in the Project, and this is the first work we could complete since the grant of the tenement in October 2024. Following the identification of these new anomalies detailed geological mapping will be required to evaluate each target and their potential. This work will commence in March 2025.”

Future Steps

The three targets are to be ground proofed and geologically mapped to determine the likelihood of economic mineralisation at these locations and to decide on infill sampling over the targets with wide spaced sampling. More detailed geophysical surveys will also be considered to better define structural targets.
