Proactive - Interviews for investors

Cooper Metals Ltd (ASX:CPM) managing director Ian Warland joins Proactive to discuss the latest assays from regional reverse circulation (RC) drilling across four copper-gold prospects at its Mt Isa East copper-gold project in Queensland.

The results cover all 12 holes drilled in April at the Mafic Sweats South, Mafic Sweats North, Raven and Yarraman prospects. At the latter prospect, about 79 metres of low-grade copper-gold mineralisation point to a fertile faulted contact zone which warrants further exploration.

Meanwhile, over at Mafic Sweats South, shallow copper-gold mineralisation has extended to a strike length of around 285 metres and a depth of 200 metres. Drilling intersected disseminated copper sulphides beneath an extensive copper oxide zone.

What’s more, the company reported all three drill holes at Mafic Sweats South ended in anomalous copper, suggesting a large shallow copper-gold system open along strike and down dip, centred around a regional faulted contact between the Argylla and Magna Lynn Formations.

Work also continues at Cooper’s Gooroo copper-gold project, just a stone’s throw from Silver Lakes Deflector mine in WA. Warland says fieldwork continues across the precious and base metal property and encourages investors to continue watching this space.

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX:GTG, NASDAQ:GENE, OTC:GNTLF) CEO Simon Morriss is back with Proactive after the company launched an assessment to aid in the detection of two types of cancer.

The genomic-based biotech has launched a comprehensive risk assessment test, targeting all women at risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.

The innovative assessment, available to women over 30, evaluates cancer risk from hereditary disease, including common gene mutations and sporadic conditions.

The test was introduced at the inaugural Know Your Risk event in California, USA, emphasising the role of genomics in women's health. Co-hosted by Dr Kristi Funk and Krystal Barter, the event featured notable panellists like Dr Carolynn Young, Andrea Hans, Allyn Rose Oertel and Matthew Zachary.

In short, Morriss says the test offers clinicians a complete understanding of patients’ risk profiles for these cancers.

Retrospective data indicates that 5% to 10% of breast and ovarian cancers are caused by gene mutations, with the remainder due to sporadic conditions.

This represents a substantial market opportunity for Genetic Technologies' geneType platform, as approximately one in eight women in the US will develop breast cancer, equating to around 310,000 annual cases.

Ovarian cancer, although less common, results in 19,600 diagnosed cases and 12,700 deaths annually in the US.

American Rare Earths Limited CEO Donald Swartz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the promising zircon co-product potential alongside Rare Earth Elements (REEs) processing at the Halleck Creek project. This development is part of a research collaboration with the School of Energy Resources at the University of Wyoming. Zircon supply is currently limited but is crucial for high-growth industries such as ceramics, electronics, and nuclear energy, all of which are experiencing increasing global demand.

Zirconium, the primary mineral in zircon, can be efficiently separated and upgraded due to its high density. This process can be integrated into the REEs pre-concentration steps in the Halleck Creek flowsheet, potentially providing substantial economic value when produced as a co-product alongside REEs. Historical assay results for zirconium at Halleck Creek indicate an average in-situ grade of 2,077 parts per million (ppm), compared to the average crustal abundance of 300 ppm, highlighting the significant concentration at this site.

Swartz explained that through their research collaboration with the University of Wyoming, ARR has found that zircon is more prevalent at Halleck Creek than previously believed. Current beneficiation work includes testing methods to separate and further concentrate zirconium using gravity separation and the magnetic removal of paramagnetic minerals to upgrade the material. These processes aim to maximize the economic potential of zircon as a co-product, enhancing the overall economics of the Halleck Creek project.

The exploration and development efforts at Halleck Creek are focused on realizing the full potential of the site. The identification and extraction of zirconium alongside REEs could generate significant additional revenue for the project. This dual-product approach leverages the existing infrastructure and processes for REEs, making the extraction of zirconium both efficient and cost-effective.

Swartz emphasized that this opportunity has the potential to transform the economic landscape of Halleck Creek. By diversifying the product output to include both REEs and zirconium, ARR is strategically positioning itself to capitalize on the growing demand for these critical materials. The successful integration of zirconium extraction into the REEs processing flow could lead to improved project viability and profitability.

Royal Road Minerals CEO Tim Coughlin joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s exploration activities at the Jabal Sahabiyah project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The underlying rights to Jabal Sahabiyah are held by Royal Road Arabia, a joint venture between Royal Road Minerals and MIDU Company Limited, each holding a 50% stake. The Jabal Sahabiyah Exploration tender covers three contiguous Exploration Licenses, encompassing approximately 284 square kilometers.

Coughlin shared that the initial detailed fieldwork at Jabal Sahabiyah has concentrated on two exposed polymetallic gossans, Jabal Muwayqirah and Hanash North. These gossans were first identified in the 1970s and were initially assessed for their potential to host zinc mineralization. Historical work by Riofinex included geological mapping, soil sampling, and limited shallow open-hole percussion drilling. Geochemical analyses from this work indicated the presence of zinc, copper, lead, and silver.

At the Hanash North target, ongoing rock-chip and soil sampling have revealed that the fold geometry suggests repeated mineralization, which is exposed again at the southwestern gossan area and concealed under shallow cover towards the east. This finding is significant as it indicates the potential for extensive mineralization beyond what is currently exposed.

To advance the project, Royal Road Minerals plans to conduct more structural mapping at Jabal Sahabiyah. This will be supported by the use of advanced technologies, including a drone-borne hyperspectral scanner, magnetometer, and radiometer. Additionally, the company will carry out grid-based auger soil sampling across both gossan areas. These efforts aim to identify targets for drill-testing before the end of 2024.

Coughlin emphasized the importance of these exploration activities in understanding the full potential of the Jabal Sahabiyah project. The company is focused on systematically evaluating the mineralization to delineate viable drilling targets and ultimately expand the resource base. The use of modern exploration techniques and technologies will enhance the precision and efficiency of these efforts.

In conclusion, Royal Road Minerals' ongoing exploration at the Jabal Sahabiyah project represents a significant step towards unlocking the potential of this promising mineral asset. With a comprehensive fieldwork plan and the integration of advanced exploration tools, the company is well-positioned to make substantial progress in the coming year. The successful identification of drill targets and subsequent drilling will be crucial in advancing the project and creating value for shareholders
