New Frontier Minerals advances NWQ Copper Project with Austral partnership and Mt Storm reconnaissance

Castillo Copper Ltd. ( (AU:NFM) ) just unveiled an announcement.

New Frontier Minerals has advanced its NWQ Copper Project in Queensland through a joint site visit with strategic partner Austral Resources, inspecting the Big One Deposit, the adjacent Big One North anomaly and historical stockpiles to align geological understanding and support a proposed toll treatment pathway to Austral’s Mt Kelly processing facility. Preliminary metallurgical test work on Big One material shows very high acid-soluble copper recoveries compatible with Mt Kelly’s flowsheet, reinforcing potential near-term development options and bolstering the project’s commercialisation prospects.

The company also completed reconnaissance at the nearby historical Mt Storm prospect, where past small-scale mining produced high-grade copper and no modern drilling has been recorded, identifying it as an under-explored near-surface satellite target within the broader NWQ project. Rock chip sampling at Mt Storm is aimed at refining the geological model and better characterising the mineralised system, potentially expanding the project’s pipeline of copper targets and enhancing its growth optionality in a strong copper market.
