Anomalous Copper-Silver-Lead-Zinc in surface geochem, potential for IOCG and Uranium

Targets identified by previous private explorers to focus shallow exploration drilling

• Major and mid-tier companies operating in the region include South32, Rio Tinto, BHP, Newcrest and OZ Minerals

“The Benmara Project is complementary to our nearby Wollogorang Project, which is highly prospective for sedimentary hosted battery metals Copper and Cobalt. The geographic location will allow RML to focus our Australian exploration efforts on battery metals in the Northern Territory in 2021.
This fits with our Company mantra of “hunting for giants - in big country” with gold in Alaska at our flagship 64North Project and copper in the Northern Territory at the Wollogorang and Benmara Projects.” 

-Managing Director Duncan Chessell
