CARRARA RANGE BATTERY METAL PROJECT ACQUISITION

 

Summary

  • Binding term sheet to acquire 100% of Carrara Range Project, Northern Territory

  • Prospective for battery metals and iron ore. Covering 1,271 km2 in the South Nicholson Basin

  • Complementary to Resolution’s nearby Benmara and Wollogorang Projects and aligned with the

    Company’s battery-metals focus in Australia

  • Geoscience Australia recently identified a manganese mineral occurrence within the project area, untested by drilling, highlighting the underexplored and prospective nature of the project

  • Detailed project review underway to plan and prioritise initial on ground activities this dry season

  • Results of review and exploration plans will be announced in early March for all NT Projects

 

"The Carrara Range Project is complementary to our nearby Benmara & Wollogorang Projects, and is highly prospective for sediment hosted battery metals. The geographic location will allow RML to focus our Australian exploration efforts on battery metals in the Northern Territory. The area is underexplored and only recently (2020), Geoscience Australia geologists identified a new promising manganese mineral occurrence at surface. We are very excited to get out and explore this coming dry season for the next world-class McArthur River Mine on these three excellent battery metal projects in the Northern Territory."

- Managing Director Duncan Chessell
