QEM Limited Drilling at Julia Creek

THE DRILL SERGEANT: QEM Limited (ASX: QEM) has kicked off its 2023 drilling campaign at the company’s Julia Creek vanadium project in Queensland.

QEM will be targeting 12 locations across its tenement package with a target depth of up to 80 metres implementing a multipurpose drilling campaign that will focus on resource exploration, groundwater bore installation, geotechnical analysis and waste characterisation.

The company indicated the campaign will consist of 12 exploration holes, two of which will be converted to groundwater monitoring bores, and four of which will be used for geotechnical analysis.

Overburden and core samples from a range of these holes will also be collected to commence waste characterisation analysis, as well as provide fresh core for further pilot plant testing and metallurgical test work.

“Previous drilling has given the company a sound knowledge of the project’s vast resource potential and the 2023 drilling campaign will represent a crucial step forward,” QEM managing director Gavin Loyden said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“The 2023 campaign is expected to build on that knowledge and identify further significant value to the project for our shareholders.”
