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

Octava Minerals has begun its maiden air core drilling campaign at the Byro Critical Minerals Project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region, launching an 1,100-metre program over a 10km by 8km area to test Permian black shales that host rare earth elements, lithium and vanadium. The campaign follows strong bioleaching test results from CSIRO and BiotaTec that delivered high recoveries of these metals using microbes, bolstering the case for a large, environmentally sustainable heap leach operation at Byro and providing fresh material to refine the process and define an exploration target, potentially enhancing Octava’s position in the critical minerals sector if substantial in-situ tonnages are confirmed.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:OCT) stock is a Hold with a A$0.08 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Octava Minerals Ltd. stock, see the AU:OCT Stock Forecast page.
