Exploration on EL 6713, Ceduna Project, in the western Gawler Craton was initial focused on Ni-Cu-PGE magmatic style mineralisation around the Cooper Hill and Kalanbi Prospects, with a later shift to clay hosted rare earth element (REE) mineralisation. Exploration activities for the project included the review of historical exploration in the area, which identified a number of drill holes stored in the South Australia Drill Core Library that could be used for a study targeting ionic adsorption clay hosted REE mineralisation, focusing on the regolith. Drill cuttings from 31 holes reviewed (235 samples) were initially tested for REE with pXRF as a first pass, followed by selected samples from 15 holes (52 samples) assayed for whole rock analysis at ALS laboratories for more accurate analysis.

The companies focus shifted to other projects in 2023-2024 and the decision was made to surrender the tenement.
