Aruma’s Pilbara Gold-REE Projects
PILBARA POTENTIAL
The recently identified Rare Earth Elements potential at Saltwater will probably apply to Melrose, as they are in the same stratigraphy and on the same Nanjilgardy structure with gold and base metals. The recent (ASX:DRE, ASX announcement 7 February 2023) results from Dreadnaught Resources in the Bresnahan Project and historical results from CRAE and U3O8 have confirmed the south Pilbara Basin to be a potential REE Basin.
