First Development Resources Advances Multi-Commodity Exploration at Selta Project

First Development Resources Plc ( (GB:FDR) ) has provided an update.

First Development Resources has provided an operational update on its Selta Project in Australia’s Northern Territory, where it is progressing gold, lithium and rare-earth exploration. The company is emphasising a data-driven approach that integrates multiple geophysical and geochemical datasets to refine drill targets and support cost-effective exploration.

At the Lander West gold target, a Gradient Array Induced Polarisation survey is about halfway complete after weather-related delays, with work expected to resume in early April and feed into planned air core and reverse circulation drilling. The company has applied for an Environmental (Mining) Permit, is reviewing drilling contractor proposals, and is seeking Northern Territory government co-funding to help offset drilling and geophysics costs.

FDR is also advancing lithium and rare-earth prospects, scheduling a UAV magnetic survey over the Hawkshead lithium-REE target in May to map pegmatite structures near a neighbouring lithium prospect. Rare-earth exploration at West Nintabrinna and Ingallan is moving toward detailed mapping, rock-chip sampling and further geochemical work, with field campaigns slated for the third quarter and a new exploration licence application lodged to expand its ground position.
