Astro Resources NL (ASX: ARO) has achieved a significant milestone in maximizing the value of its Governor Broome Mineral Sands Project in Western Australia. The company has successfully acquired the Fouracres Retention Licence R70/22, situated in close proximity to Astro's Jack Track Heavy Mineral (HM) Deposit. R70/22 boasts an Indicated Resource of 0.72 million tons at 11.4% HM, along with an Inferred Resource of 0.22 million tons at 3.6% HM.

Notably, R70/22 contains a valuable heavy mineral suite consisting of 75% ilmenite, 3% secondary ilmenite, 4% leucoxene/rutile, and 8% zircon, resulting in a high Valuable Heavy Mineral content of 90%. This acquisition has significantly increased the total resources of the Governor Broome Project to 127 million tons, with 79 million tons falling into the Indicated category. Valued at AU$150,000 plus a 1% royalty on future production, this acquisition will play a crucial role in augmenting the project's worth, particularly in the forthcoming Scoping Study scheduled for delivery in Q1 2024.
