Pinnacle Minerals Ltd (ASX:PIM) has completed follow-up drilling at the Disruptor prospect east of Tambellup in Western Australia, with a total of 16 holes drilled for 746 metres.
Visual observations reinforced and expanded on the drilling results from the original campaign completed in March 2023.
In addition, assay results just received from the original campaign have returned elevated total rare earth oxide values, highlighting the potential for clay-hosted rare earth elements (REE) in addition to the already identified hard rock potential.
Pinnacle Managing Director Nic Matich said: “Both the visual observations and assay results from the Disruptor Prospect indicate the potential for a mineralised REE system.
“The presence of chlorite / mica-rich hydrothermal alteration, the intersection of potential carbonatite rocks and the elevated REE’s in clay all point to the Disrupter Prospect being a significant discovery of a previously un-recognised geological system.
“The team is currently reviewing the field observations in conjunction with assay and petrology results to determine the next steps in advancing this exciting Prospect.”
