 Soil Results Expand Saltwater Footprint & Priority Targets
Key Points
  • Highly encouraging soil sampling results at Saltwater Project in Pilbara, WA
  • Potential for large polymetallic and gold-bearing mineralised system at Saltwater Dome
  • Compelling multi-element soil anomaly identified at Tunnel Creek area
Full Summary

Aruma Resources Ltd has announced highly encouraging results from the recent soil sampling program at its 100% owned Saltwater Project, located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The extensive sampling program collected a total of 741 samples across the priority Saltwater Dome and Tunnel Creek target areas. At Saltwater Dome, the results have extended the anomalies and highlight the potential for a significant polymetallic and gold-bearing mineralised system, with gold values up to 845ppb and coincident multi-element anomalism including copper, antimony, lead, zinc and bismuth. At Tunnel Creek, the sampling has confirmed the Luke Prospect as a priority target, exhibiting a compelling multi-element soil anomaly with coincident elevated gold, antimony and bismuth. The broader Tunnel Creek area is also characterised by structural complexity and the presence of favourable host conditions for polymetallic gold and base metal mineralisation. The company plans to undertake further geological mapping, infill soil sampling and geophysical surveys to advance these priority targets towards drill-ready status.

Outlook

The company plans to undertake further geological mapping, infill soil sampling and geophysical surveys at the Saltwater Dome and Tunnel Creek areas to advance these priority targets towards drill-ready status.
