Octava Minerals Ltd. ( (AU:OCT) ) has shared an update.

Octava Minerals reported a busy March quarter, highlighted by completion of a maiden air-core drilling program at its Byro Critical Minerals Project in Western Australia, targeting mineralised Permian black shales over a 10km by 8km area to depths of about 60 metres. The program follows strong bioleaching testwork and is intended to define significant tonnages and secure additional material for scaled-up metallurgical work.

At its Federation Project in Tasmania, Octava completed the first drilling in nearly 50 years at the Sweeney’s and Anomaly 1 prospects, returning significant polymetallic intercepts and identifying a new antimony-zinc lode open in all directions. The feeder-style sulphide target at Federation remains open down plunge, giving the company greater geological understanding and potential to expand the mineralisation footprint across a relatively small portion of its broader landholding.
