An update from Encounter Resources Limited ( (AU:ENR) ) is now available.

Encounter Resources has significantly expanded the mineral resource estimate at its 100%-owned Aileron niobium-rare earths project in the West Arunta, lifting the Green Inferred resource by 83% and the combined Inferred resource by 54%. The enlarged resource base is intended to support studies into a potential multi-decade mining operation, with the focus now moving to pre-development work in metallurgy, mining, environmental and geotechnical domains.

The company is also ramping up exploration across its copper-gold portfolio, including a co-funded 6,000m RC drill program at the Lamil project targeting a Havieron-style system near Telfer and follow-up drilling at the Yeneena Parbo prospect after earlier high-grade copper hits. In the Northern Territory, partner South32 is planning substantial RC and diamond drilling at the Jessica copper project, while Encounter strengthens its board with experienced mining executive Simon Hay and prepares multi-rig drilling and metallurgical updates that could further enhance its growth prospects in critical minerals and copper-gold markets.
