Rae Copper Project fully permitted for drilling

White Cliff Minerals Limited (“WCN” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its Rae Copper Project, Nunavut (the “Project”) has now received the remaining permits and approvals required to commence drilling activities. The maiden drilling campaign will follow up high priority targets that were generated during the successful field campaign at the Rae Copper Project during 2024, where copper rock chips returned remarkable assays, with results exceeding 60% Copper (refer to announcements dated 4 October and 14 October 2024).


  • Type B Water Licence issued by the Nunavut Water Board allowing activities to occur for an initial period of seven (7) years
  • The Rae Copper Project is now fully permitted allowing drilling activities to commence during March 2025
  • Updates on drill targeting, contractor selection, and mobilisation will be provided in the coming weeks

“It is pleasing to see the approval from the Nunavut Water Board occur so swiftly, and some four or so weeks ahead of our planned schedule. The Rae Copper Project is now fully permitted with drilling activities planned to commence during March.

Our initial campaign will focus on targets within the highly prospective Hulk Sedimentary prospect and the Danvers project area. Over the coming weeks, we aim to finalise contractor selection and settle plans for priority target holes.

This is a significant milestone for the Company, with drilling activities now fully approved. I’d like to take this time to acknowledge the greater White Cliff team and our partners; this milestone, achieved in such a swift fashion is remarkable. I can’t wait to safely and successfully execute this upcoming drilling campaign and I look forward to sharing updates about our progress as we award drilling contracts and mobilisation activities commence towards the Rae Site!”

Galan’s Mineral Resources grow to 9.5 Mt LCE

Galan Lithium Limited (ASX: GLN) (Galan or the Company) is pleased to announce a material increase in its JORC (2012) Mineral Resource estimate for its 100% owned Candelas Project (Candelas or the Project) located in the Catamarca Province, Argentina. Galan engaged SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd (SRK) to update the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) and potassium chloride equivalent (KCl).


  • 100% owned Candelas Mineral Resource grows by more than 150% to 1.6Mt LCE.
  • Galan’s Hombre Muerto resource position (9.5 Mt LCE) places it within the top 10 of lithium construction and production projects globally (1)
  • Material increase at Candelas provides greater optionality in commercialising the Project
  • Significant upside potential also identified to further enhance the latest Candelas Mineral Resource

In late 2024, Galan completed surface mapping and undertook additional geophysics over Candelas and its surrounding environs. Based on this additional geoscience data, SRK remodelled the hydrogeological domains and re-estimated mineral resources for lithium, potassium, LCE, and KCl (potash), leading to the material increase in the Candelas MRE Estimate (Table 1).

Managing Director, Juan Pablo (JP) Vargas de la Vega, commented:

“Applying sound geoscientific knowledge and modern exploration techniques to a world-class lithium resource has continued to deliver outstanding results for Galan. We identified the potential to add significant value-accretive LCE tonnes at Candelas on a very modest budget and have delivered on that opportunity.

On behalf of the Board and myself, I would like to thank our team and our consultants. With this material resource growth, Galan now sits within the top 10 lithium production and construction projects, by Mineral Resource, which is an unbelievable achievement from our maiden resource generated in 2019.

Our resources are focused on finalising the Phase 1 financing and offtake process followed by completion of the Phase 1 construction and operations at HMW.”

December 2024 Quarterly Activities & Cashflow Reports

Mount Hope Mining Limited (ASX: MHM – ‘Mount Hope Mining’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to provide an update on its quarterly activities for December 2024.


Highlights

Successful ASX listing

  • Listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) following the successful completion of an Initial Public Offering (IPO) raising $5 million.

Orientation Soil Survey Completed

  • Orientation soil geochemical survey completed, with results anticipated imminently.

Geophysical Targeting Commenced

  • Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC) engaged to refine existing targets and plan on-ground geophysical surveys commencing February.

Mount Hope Mining Managing Director Fergus Kiley commented:

“The December quarter has been transformative for Mount Hope Mining, headlined by our successful IPO listing on the ASX raising $5 million.

“We also completed an orientation soil geochemical survey using three complementary sampling methods, with results expected by the end of January 2025. These results will guide our exploration efforts as we refine our existing advanced projects and define new targets across this underexplored and mineral-rich region.

“Southern Geoscience has been engaged to undertake a detailed review of existing geophysical datasets, including reprocessing the 2021 airborne electromagnetic survey. This work will enhance our understanding of the project’s structural controls for mineralisation and identify further high-priority exploration areas.

“Our 175km² Mount Hope Project, located in the prolific Cobar mining district of NSW, offers strong potential for high- grade copper and gold discoveries. With a clear, data-driven strategy and solid local infrastructure, we are well-positioned to unlock its value, build on the district’s historic success, and deliver shareholder value through potential further discoveries.

“I would like to thank our shareholders for their support during the IPO and look forward to keeping the market updated as we progress exploration at the Mount Hope Project.”

Orientation Soil Geochemical Survey

In December 2024, Mount Hope Mining completed an orientation soil geochemical survey across two targets within the Mount Hope Project area (Figure 2). The survey was designed to assess and refine the geochemical sampling techniques considered most effective for detecting buried mineralisation in this region.

The Company will test multiple sampling types to determine the optimal sampling technique for each of the geological terrains. Results from the survey are expected to be finalised imminently.
