Exploration Update & Technical Appointment

The Directors of eMetals Limited (ASX:EMT)(eMetals)(Company) are pleased to provide an update on its exploration program at its Willi Creek Project (E09/2464) in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia and the appointment of Technical Consultant Mr Simon Coxhell.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Field activities to commence at the Willi Creek project in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia prospective for REE mineralisation
  • Over 20 kilometres of prospective strike identified in close spatial association to a highly radiometric granitoid coincident with an extensive N-S trending fault and prominent outcropping vein structures of iron enrichment
  • The geological setting of the older Moorarie Suite metagranite gneiss is interpreted to be a similar geological setting to the Hasting Technology Metals Limited Yangibana deposits and the recent Dreadnought Resources Limited REE discoveries
  • Mr Simon Coxhell, who served as a geological consultant for Hastings Technology Metals Limited between 2011-2016 and is responsible for the Simon’s Find deposit that comprises part of the Yangiobana resource, appointed as Technical Consultant to the Company to progress exploration activities
WILLI CREEK PROJECT

The Willi Creek project tenement covers approximately 217 square kilometres and is immediately adjacent to Dreadnought Resources (ASX:DRE) Mangaroon Rare Earth Project which has recently announced significant drill intersections of thick REE ironstones at its Yin and Sabre prospects located to the east of project area.

Commenting on the Willi Creek project and the appointment of Mr Simon Coxhell, Executive Director Mathew Walker said “We are excited to soon commence field activities at the highly prospective Willi Creek project and are delighted to have secured the technical services of Simon as Technical Consultant which we view as a strong endorsement of the project potential and prospectivity. Simon has an intimate knowledge of the region and in particular Yangibana style REE deposits having served as a geological consultant for Hastings Technology Metals Limited for 5 years and is credited with the discovery of the Simon’s Find deposit that now forms part of the Yangibana mineral resource.”

Commenting on his appointment, Simon said “EMT represents a unique opportunity to progress well planned exploration activities on its prospective portfolio of projects that could unlock significant potential. I am pleased to be able to assist in driving the exploration programs forward.”

WILLI CREEK PROJECT (E09/2464)

The tenement was originally pegged in 2021 based on its very close spatial association to a large granitoid that covers approximately 50 square kilometres that is strongly radiometric and one of the most radiometric granitoids in the Gascoyne Region.

REE mineralisation associated with the granitoid may include typical late-stage mineralising effects such as pegmatites, proximal alteration, or alteration of reactive mineralogies in associated rocks and contact zones.

How to Invest in Tungsten

Tungsten was discovered in Sweden in the 18th century, and since then has found diverse uses.

About two-thirds of demand for this critical metal is from the mining and drilling industry for use in cemented carbides; mill products and chemicals account for the rest. However, while tungsten has many key uses, the market has been quite turbulent for the last several years — low prices have led to reduced output in some parts of the world.

Global tungsten production came to 84,000 metric tons (MT) in 2022, slightly above the 83,800 MT put out in 2021. As with many metals, China dominates the tungsten-mining space. In fact, according to the US Geological Survey, production of tungsten concentrate outside the country accounts for less than 20 percent of total global supply.

Top 8 Tungsten-p​roducing Countries

Tungsten has many applications. It's used in electrical wires, as well as in welding, heavy metal alloys, turbine blades and as a lead substitute in bullets.The metal can also be found in heating and electrical contacts.

According to the US Geological Survey, global tungsten production came in at 84,000 metric tons (MT) in 2022, up slightly from 2021's 83,800 MT. The vast majority of tungsten mining and processing occurs in China. Looking forward to 2023, increased production of the critical metal is seen coming from reopened mines in Australia, South Korea and the UK.

Tungsten’s importance in a wide range of industrial categories, from smartphones to car batteries, means demand is likely to rise. At the same time, supply chain disruptions and increased production costs are weighing on global supply. Tungsten prices have traded upward in recent years, and market dynamics are expected to push the metal higher in 2023 and beyond.
