Voltaic Strategic Resources Limited provided an update on its Paddys Well /Gascoyne Critical Metals Project, located in Western Australia. Ground exploration commenced in September, focusing on REEs and lithium. A promising number ofironstone /calcsilicate outcrops have been discovered in the field, which are prospect ive for REEs, and extensive (78) rockchip samples have been collected across priority target zones and have been submitted for analysis. REEs have been confirmed at the Paddys Well `CSZ1' target and a 16 km prospective corridor delineated, with planning underway for a shallow drill campaign to commence before the end of the year. The primary aim of this campaign is to confirm and delineate the extent of the REE anomalism already identified at Paddys Well, and to screen other target areas of interest. Voltaic's immediate focus at "Paddys Well" project is to delineate the extents of the highly prospective
"CSZ 1" REE corridor `by targeting: outcropping ferrocarbonatites (ironstones); carbonatite intrusions under cover; and potential oxide supergene mineralisation above interpreted regional structures. A total of 78 rockchips have been collected from a 3 km priority target area to date and these will be used to aid target generation and geological and structural models. A preliminary drill campaign is planned to commence in December 2022 whereby the aim is to: `twin' (the oxide component) of historical Cameco drillhole GAD0004 with anomalous REEs and improve the resolution of composite sampling; test and expand the extent of the REE anomalism within this area utilising wide-spaced gridlines; & screen other key priority target areas of interest.
