Rio Tinto Exploration Begins Drilling at North Rover Earn-in Project

Jul 11, 2023

Rio Tinto Exploration, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, has begun a drilling campaign at Everest Metals Corporation's (ASX: EMC) North Rover Earn-in tenement (E57/1134). The reverse circulation (RC) drilling program will consist of approximately 1,400 meters across seven holes, each up to 200 meters deep. The objective is to target potential lithium mineralization hosted in pegmatite beneath weathered pegmatite outcrops. The program is expected to be completed within 10 days.

EMC is excited to have a major partner like Rio Tinto Exploration exploring this relatively underexplored area of their portfolio. The Rover Project, owned by EMC, is situated near Sandstone and covers a large tenure package of 460 square kilometers, encompassing two linear Archean greenstones. The project is located in a mineral-rich region associated with base metals and gold. The North Rover project, which Rio Tinto is farming into, pertains specifically to the northernmost portion of the Rover Project's exploration license (E57/1134).
