Octava Minerals has received approvals for its Program of Work (POW) applications covering the antimony prospects at the Yallalong project, with fieldwork recently commenced.
The Yallalong project is located approximately 220km to the northeast of the port town of Geraldton in Western Australia and comprises two granted Exploration Licences, E70/5051 (100 per cent owned) with an exploration area of 63.4 square kilometres and E09/2823 (100 per cent owned) with an exploration area of 94 square kilometres.
Antimony mineralisation at Yallalong is associated with stockwork quartz veined zones within sheared fine grained sedimentary rocks peripheral to mafic intrusive dykes within the larger shear zone. The association of antimony mineralisation with major fault systems and sedimentary host rocks is a well-known geological setting for a number of antimony deposits worldwide.
The Octava exploration team has commenced on ground field work with initial focus being geological mapping and rock chip sampling on the four identified priority targets within the antimony corridor.
