First Development Resources Plc ( (GB:FDR) ) has shared an announcement.
First Development Resources has resumed its Gradient Array Induced Polarisation geophysical survey at the Lander West gold target within its 100%-owned Selta Project in Australia’s Northern Territory, after heavy seasonal rains had forced a temporary suspension and demobilisation of field crews. With roughly one-third of the refined survey area still to be completed, the company has narrowed the programme to the most prospective zones to maintain technical objectives while improving efficiency, aiming to generate high-quality data to define drill targets and advance Lander West to its next exploration phase within weeks.
The operational update underscores FDR’s effort to keep momentum across its Australian exploration portfolio, where it is seeking to build value in copper-gold, uranium, rare earth and other critical mineral assets through targeted geophysics and drilling-ready work. By adapting survey plans to weather constraints and focusing on priority areas, the company is attempting to optimise exploration spend and accelerate progression of a key gold target in a competitive, resource-rich region where numerous peers are also active.
