New Frontier Minerals Advances Big One Copper Lease and Expands Rare Earths Portfolio

The latest update is out from Castillo Copper Ltd. ( (AU:NFM) ).

New Frontier Minerals reported solid progress in the March quarter as it advanced its NWQ Copper Project in Queensland, where the mining lease application for the Big One copper deposit passed technical assessment, moving the asset closer to potential near-term production. The Big One deposit hosts a JORC inferred resource of 2.1Mt at 1.1% copper and sits within a broader portfolio of 14 prospects carrying an updated exploration target of 12–58Mt at 0.3–1.5% copper, with processing planned via haulage to Austral Resources’ Mt Kelly facility under an existing memorandum of understanding.

In rare earths, the company completed Stage 1 earn-in to secure an 85% interest in key Harts Range tenement EL32513 and was granted two additional 100%-owned licences, expanding its exposure to heavy rare earth targets ahead of pending assay results from its first drilling campaign. New Frontier also signed a binding option and staged earn-in with Metallium to acquire up to 90% of the Pomme REE-niobium project in Québec, with Metallium engaged as processing and technology partner, while ending the quarter with A$2.0 million in cash and liquid listed securities and expecting further funding from grants and tax rebates next quarter.
