Appointment of New York-Based Director
February 07, 2023
Challenger Exploration (ASX: CEL) (“CEL” the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Pini Althaus as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
Mr Althaus is based in New York and has been an Executive in the mining and resource sector since 2002. Pini was most recently the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of USA Rare Earth, which acquired and developed the Round Top heavy rare earth and critical minerals project in Texas.
As CEO Pini transformed USA Rare Earth from a resource startup to one of the highest-valued rare earth companies in North America. Under his tenure, USA Rare Earth opened the first rare earth and critical minerals processing facility in North America, located in Colorado, and acquired the only neodymium- iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnet manufacturing system in the Americas, formerly owned and operated in North Carolina by Hitachi Metals America, Ltd.
Additionally, Mr Althaus has experience in the gold sector as the former founder and CEO of Dominion Minerals Corp, which acquired and developed the Cerro Corcha Gold / Copper project in Panama. During his tenure as CEO, Dominion defined a significant open-ended gold and copper deposit with a project NPV in excess of US$500 million.
During this time as a leading mining executive, Pini has built a strong network in the North American investment community, with this network including many of the leading US Family Offices, US and Canadian Investment Funds, and US and Canadian Investment Banks. Additionally, Mr Althaus has made numerous appearances as a critical minerals expert on news outlets including, The New York Times, FOX, WSJ, Financial Times, CNBC, Forbes, and the Global Times, and continues to be an ongoing contributor to these outlets.
Mr Althaus' role is to introduce Challenger into this network and provide the Company with an ongoing presence in the North American market as it transitions from an explorer to a developer.
Commenting on his appointment Mr Althaus said:
“As an early investor and long-time shareholder of Challenger, I have watched the company progress from its first drill hole at Hualilan to a 2 million ounce MRE, which is still growing into what appears to be a world-class asset. I am also excited by the results that I have seen come out of El Guayabo in Ecuador, and I look forward to seeing a maiden MRE.
My personal belief based on several factors, including the aim to become a significant low-cost gold producer, what the Company is currently valued at and as Challenger transitions from explorer to developer, the time is right to introduce the Company to the North-American investment community which intuitively understands South American mining opportunities.

Sarama Completes Second and Final Tranche of Placement
Funds raised will be used to sustain Sarama while it focuses on maximising value from its existing asset base in Burkina Faso, advancing potential opportunities outside Burkina Faso and to fund administration and general working capital costs
Sarama Resources Ltd. (“Sarama” or the “Company”) (ASX:SRR, TSX-V:SWA) is pleased to report that on 17 April 2024, it completed the previously announced A$520,000 equity placement (the “Placement”) (refer to Sarama news releases dated 18 December 2023 and 22 December 2023).
The second and final Tranche of the Placement raised aggregate gross proceeds of A$50,000 with the Company issuing 2,500,000 Chess Depository Instruments (“CDIs”) at an issue price of A$0.02 per CDI to a director, Mr Andrew Dinning. The issuance of the CDIs to Mr Dinning was subject to shareholder approval, as required by the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) Listing Rules, which was obtained at a special meeting held on 11 April 2024. Each new CDI issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing CDIs on issue and each CDI will represent a beneficial interest in 1 common share of the Company.
Tranche 1 of the Placement, completed on 22 December 2023, raised aggregate gross proceeds of A$470,000 with the Company issuing 6,000,000 common shares and 17,500,000 CDIs (the CDIs and together with the common shares, the "Securities") at an issue price of A$0.02 per Security.
Members of Sarama's Board and Management subscribed for an aggregate 6,250,000 CDls in the Placement.
Each of the directors and officers who participated in the Placement is a "related party" of the Company within the meaning of that term in Canadian Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Participation by them in the Placement is therefore a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. Pursuant to Section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company was exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the Company's shareholders in respect of the Placement due to the fair market value of their participation being below 25% of the Company's market capitalization for the purposes of MI 61-101. The Company filed material change reports in respect of the Placement which detail the participation by directors and officers of the Company. The material change reports were filed less than 21 days prior to the completion of each tranche of the Placement, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of potential financing opportunities and complete the Placement in an expeditious manner. Each of the directors and officers who participated in the Placement are subject to an Exchange Hold period imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange on the CDIs issued to such persons. The Exchange Hold Period expires 4 months from the date of issue of the securities.
The common shares issued under the Placement are all subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issue in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Aspacia Deposit Records Maiden Mineral Resource at the Menzies Gold Project
Brightstar Resources Limited (ASX: BTR) (Brightstar) is pleased to announce a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at Aspacia, located approximately 1km west of Menzies town (MGP). This MRE was undertaken on over 110 RC and diamond holes including recent programs completed by Brightstar.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Maiden JORC2012 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at Aspacia of 1.37Mt @ 1.6g/t Au for 70koz Au at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade
- Brightstar has increased the total Menzies MRE by ~20% since Brightstar ownership commenced in late May 2023
- Mineral Resource growth vindicates Brightstar’s strategy of identifying, drilling and delineating areas considered prospective to hold future potentially mineable ounces
- Within the Aspacia MRE, there is a high-grade subset of 290kt @ 3.72g/t Au for ~35koz using a 2.0g/t Au cut-off grade
- Mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike and will be tested further with upcoming drilling programs to grow and improve the confidence of the MRE
- Combined Brightstar MRE of 1.1Moz Au across the Menzies and Laverton Gold Projects, with an additional ~0.35Moz Au in resources to be added via a successful completion of the off-market takeover of Linden Gold Alliance1
- Pre-Feasibility Study work streams for the Menzies and Laverton Gold Projects are in progress, with significant drill programs commencing imminently across the Brightstar portfolio targeting resource confidence upgrades and material for testwork purposes.
Brightstar’s Managing Director, Alex Rovira, commented“We are delighted to announce that we’ve added a further 70koz to the Menzies Gold Project, with +90koz added by Brightstar to the original 505koz acquired three quarters ago through the transaction with Kingwest Resources Ltd.
Encouragingly, the Selkirk-First Hit-Lady Shenton trend seems to be distinct to that of the Aspacia deposit, which may lead to similar repetitions north and south of Aspacia and warrants further follow up exploration which we’ll target in our upcoming drilling programs set to re-commence this quarter.
The results from the previous drilling and the MRE output utilising a typical underground mining economic cut-off grade indicates to Brightstar that strong potential exists to assess a modest-scale underground operation at Aspacia given the grades and widths observed.
With the technical PFS work streams underway, RC and diamond drilling will shortly recommence at Brightstar’s projects and conduct large programs targeting conversion and upgrades to our current MREs proposed to be mined within our BTR 2023 Scoping Study, along with Linden Gold projects at Second Fortune and Jasper Hills”.

Further High-Grade Extensional Gold Intercepts Returned at Ricciardo
Warriedar Resources Limited (ASX: WA8) (Warriedar or the Company) is pleased to advise of further assay results from drilling undertaken at the Ricciardo deposit (previously known as Silverstone) within its Golden Range Project, located in the Murchison region of Western Australia.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Assay results received for an additional six (6) RC holes drilled at the Ricciardo deposit, with all holes intersecting significant gold intervals including:
- 8m @ 11.40 g/t Au from 166m, incl. 3m @ 22.38 g/t Au from 167m (RDRC041)
- 8m @ 2.63 g/t Au from 160m (RDRC034)
- Results further increase the known extent of the high-grade shoot beneath the historic Silverstone pit.
- Represents significant mineralisation intersected outside the current Mineral Resource model delivering immediate growth potential.
- Assays from a residual three (3) RC holes beneath the Ardmore pit (at Ricciardo) are pending, with results anticipated within the next two weeks.
- The Ricciardo deposit remains open along strike and at depth, with further growth- focussed drilling set to commence this quarter.
- Ricciardo sits in the middle of the 25km-long ‘Golden Corridor’ at Golden Range, which hosts six discrete deposits (18 historic pits) that are all open at depth and possess immediate growth potential.
- Ricciardo and the ‘Golden Corridor’ are Warriedar’s key exploration focus in 2024.
Today’s results have extended the high-grade shoot below the Silverstone pit and broadened the known (high-grade) mineralisation envelope. These outcomes again demonstrate the outstanding Mineral Resource growth potential that exists at Ricciardo and along the broader ‘Golden Corridor’ trend.
Warriedar Managing Director and CEO, Amanda Buckingham, said:
“This is another very pleasing set of results from our recent drilling at Ricciardo. Combined with the initial results released in March, they readily demonstrate why we have made the Golden Corridor the primary focus of our 2024 exploration activities. At Golden Range we have scale, plus grade, and immediate and substantial resource growth potential. We look forward to receiving the remaining assays, as well as recommencing drilling this quarter.”

Multiple New Gold Target Areas Identified at Golden Ridge
Flynn Gold Limited (ASX: FG1, “Flynn” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at the Company’s 100% owned Golden Ridge Project located in Northeast Tasmania (Figure 1).
Highlights
- Assay results from UltraFine+ soil sampling define anomalous gold in soils over a combined strike length of at least 9km along the granodiorite-metasediment contact zone at Golden Ridge
- The granodiorite-metasediment contact soil anomaly remains open along trend in both directions significantly extending FG1’s target
- New target areas have been identified within the granodiorite and metasediments, further enhancing the potential large scale of the overall Golden Ridge target deposit
- Results confirm the potential of the Ultrafine+ technique as an effective exploration tool at the project
- Infill and extension soil sampling is ongoing over the wider Golden Ridge project area
- Recommencement of drilling at Trafalgar prospect imminent
- For further information or to post questions go to the Flynn Gold Investor Hub at https://investorhub.flynngold.com.au/link/GyVBay
A program of soil sampling at the Golden Ridge Project has been progressively undertaken since an initial sampling trial using the UltraFine+ technique was initiated in May 20221. The results of this soil sampling have highlighted the known prospect areas, as well as several new target areas with gold anomalism not associated with historical workings.
Managing Director and CEO, Neil Marston commented,
“Our flagship Golden Ridge Project in northeast Tasmania keeps delivering exciting results. Last year was significant for Flynn Gold with drilling at Golden Ridge intersecting high-grade gold in multiple vein sets at the Trafalgar prospect.
“The results of our soil sampling program are also very pleasing with significant gold anomalies coinciding with known old workings as well as gold anomalies being identified in several new target areas along the prospect contact zone.
“Follow-up soil sampling will continue over the coming months as this is proving to be a very effective exploration tool, generating new gold targets to evaluate.
“With a rig remobilised back to Golden Ridge this week, we are looking forward to the next phase of drilling, starting at the Trafalgar prospect.”

Awalé Resources CEO Touts Odienné Project’s Potential for "Big Gold-Copper System"
Drilling at Awalé Resources’ (TSX:ARIC) Charger target within the Odienné project in Côte d’Ivoire has hit “one of the highest-grade gold intersections," according to the company’s CEO, Andrew Chubb.
“It's a (really) significant drill hole. We were testing a new sort of 3D framework at that target. We drilled holes there and got 50 to 100 meter intercepts … We adjusted our interpretation and went in to test that, and found that it's a breccia system. We found a new breccia pipe and got the broadest intercept of the actual geology,” he said.
“The biggest thing for us is that we believe we are sitting on a big gold-copper system. And there are other discoveries that we've had within that system as well, there are two other discoveries, and it's really evolving into what looks like a big mining camp.”
A 3,000 meter diamond drilling program at the Charger prospect has commenced following the announcement of outstanding assay results of 26 grams per metric ton (g/t) gold over 57 meters, including 45.7 g/t gold over 32 meters from 165 meters downhole of a new breccia pipe.
