Field work has commenced at Australasian Metals Dingo Hole Highly Pure Quartz Project in the Northern Territory, following an option agreement with Verdant Minerals.
The exploration aims to assess the commercial viability of the project.
The Dingo Hole Project, situated in the Georgina basin approximately 300km southeast of Tennant Creek, encompasses an area of 35.16 km2.
Historical exploration by Rum Jungle from 2012 to 2016 indicated potential for high-purity silica deposits.
Initial observations suggest the presence of clean white silica, which may have formed through metasomatic replacement of a dolomite unit.
