Mt Deans Lithium Project

The 100%-owned Mt Deans Project (P63/2063) is situated in the Mt Deans pegmatite field, within the Eastern Goldfields Terrane of the Yilgarn Craton, approximately 200 kilometres south of the major regional centre of Kalgoorlie and approximately 10 kilometres south of the mining town of Norseman.

The Project sits within the lithium corridor in south-east WA, which hosts multiple significant hard-rock lithium projects. It is interpreted to sit within the same host rocks and structures as the significant nearby Mt Marion, Bald Hill and Buldania Lithium Projects.

Aruma has completed two phases of drilling at the Project which returned encouraging intersections of lithium and rubidium, and has also undertaken an initial phase of metallurgical test work. Further details on the Mt Dean Project and exploration results from the Project can be found in Aruma’s ASX announcements.

Melrose Gold Project

The Melrose Project is located immediately adjacent to Black Cat Syndicate’s (ASX: BC8) Paulsens Gold Project in the Pilbara region of WA.

Aruma completed a maiden drilling program at the Melrose Project in 2022, which consisted of 48 RC holes (to depths of around 100 metres) for 4,784 metres, on 10 lines of drilling. Drilling was designed to define gold grades and controls on mineralisation along with lithology, mineralisation types, metallurgy and stratigraphy. The program intersected anomalous gold and confirmed the presence of anomalies on an east-west structural target at the Gossan Hill target.
