First Development Resources Moves to Expand Paterson Province Footprint with New Licence Applications

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

First Development Resources has applied for three new exploration licences in Western Australia’s Paterson Province, immediately east of its existing Wallal Project and over ground formerly held by Rio Tinto Exploration, in a move that would significantly enlarge its footprint in one of Australia’s most prolific gold-copper regions. With the statutory objection period now closed without challenge, the licence applications are being assessed by Western Australia’s Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration, while the company engages Traditional Owner groups under Aboriginal heritage and Native Title processes, stressing that exploration will only begin once all regulatory, environmental and cultural approvals are secured, thereby consolidating its strategic land position and underpinning future exploration planning in a compliant and responsible manner.
