Aruma Resources Encounters High-Grade REE at Salmon Gums Project

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Aruma Resources (ASX: AAJ) reported an encounter with multiple zones of high-grade ionic clay Rare Earth Elements (REEs) while recently conducting first-pass REE-focused drilling at the company’s Salmon Gums project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

Aruma Resources said the drilling had identified three zones of high-grade clay-hosted REEs whilst returning the highest grade REE sample reported to date in the emerging greater Esperance-Salmon Gums ionic clay REE region of 8,700ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) in surface sample AR33002.

“The high-grade results returned from our first pass REE-focused drilling at the Salmon Gums project is exciting for Aruma,” Aruma Resources managing director Glenn Grayson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It appears that the higher-grade mineralisation extends further onto our project area, which enhances the potential for it to host extensive REE mineralisation.

“The exceptional grades and thicknesses reported in this maiden drilling program, along with the highest-grade ionic clay REE reported in the region to date – in surface sample AR33002 – highlights the largely untested REE potential of Salmon Gums and our team’s skill in identifying and advancing high-value mineral prospects.”
