Ragusa Minerals (ASX:RAS) has expanded its Purple Pansy Manganese-Gold Project in Arizona, USA, with the addition of 201 staked tenements, increasing the total project area to approximately 4,142 acres.
The new claims, selected to cover the most prospective parts of the district-scale manganese and gold system, include historical mining sites such as Valley View, Pansy, Pump, Black Bart, Kat Head, Black Rock Group, Apache, and American Mine.
The expanded 9km-long project zone enhances Ragusa’s exploration potential for gold and manganese, providing immediate target areas for drilling, sampling, and metallurgical testing.
Ragusa Chair Jerko Zuvela said the expansion represents a "first-mover opportunity" in the region, offering growth prospects for multiple strategic minerals and increasing development optionality.
