Western Yilgarn NL (ASX:WYX) has obtained promising results from an initial 234-hole Auger geochemistry programme, completed on 1,600 x 100m grid at its Boodanoo Project, located in Western Australia.

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) multielement screening of the Phase 1 samples has identified a series of follow-up targets including:

  • Potential LCT Pegmatites – A three km by two km anomaly with coincident anomalous pathfinder elements.

The first pass auger campaign has confirmed the exciting potential residing in Western Yilgarn’s Boodanoo Project,” Chairman, Peter Lewis, said.

“In consort with our Bulga Project to the east, and the Darling Range Project which is strategically adjacent to the discoveries by Chalice Mining, we are developing a pipeline of promising early-stage exploration projects which we have commenced to systematically explore.”

Western Yilgarn’s Boodanoo Project is one within an inventory of five projects. After the Bulga Project which is located to the east near Leinster, Boodanoo Project is the second Western Yilgarn to be subjected to systematic, new-generation exploration practices.

The three remaining projects include Sylvania in the Pilbara, Melbourne in the lower mid-west, and the Darling Range Project1 around 70 km north of Perth and neighbouring Chalice Mining’s Gonneville discovery.

Western Yilgarn will undertake a first pass exploration over the Melbourne permits next.

The Boodanoo Project is located ~90km south of Mount Magnet and comprises one granted exploration licence (E59/2496) which covers an area of ~39 sq. km.
