Resolution Minerals Managing Director Duncan Chessell commented: "The Benmara Project is complementary to our nearby Wollogorang Project, which is highly prospective for sedimentary hosted battery metals Copper and Cobalt. The geographic location will allow RML to focus our Australian exploration efforts on battery metals in the Northern Territory in 2021. This fits with our Company mantra of "hunting for giants - in big country" with gold in Alaska at our flagship 64North Project and copper in the Northern Territory at the Wollogorang and Benmara Projects."
The Benmara Project is prospective for sedimentary hosted polymetallic battery metals including Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn-Co as well as uranium and IOCG prospectivity. The share-based terms of the deal focusses funds on exploration evaluation and allows Resolution to test the project quickly with shallow drilling.
