Kaili Resources (ASX:KLR) completed its latest aircore drilling campaign across the Lameroo (EL 6856), Coodalya (EL 6978), and Karte (EL 6977) tenements within South Australia's Murray Basin.
Finished on Feb. 1, the program targeted ionic clay-hosted rare earth elements within the Tertiary-aged Loxton/Parilla Sands.
The geological formation is a known host for significant REE deposits, evidenced by neighboring Australian Rare Earths’ (ASX:AR3) substantial JORC resource of 236 Mt @ 748 ppm TREO.
The program consisted of 30 widely spaced holes totaling 540m, primarily focused on the Coodalya tenement following data from late 2025.
To ensure minimal impact on local landowners, Kaili utilised roadside verges for drilling locations with full local council approval.
The company is now conducting pXRF scans on the collected samples to identify high-potential zones.
According to the Principal Geologist, the findings will be pivotal in narrowing down targets for a larger, government-approved exploration phase involving up to 300 holes and 6,000m of future drilling.
At the time of reporting, Kaili Resources’ share price was $0.16.
