Litchfield Drills Oonagalabi, Hires Local Geologist

About this episode

Litchfield Minerals is advancing its Oonagalabi copper-zinc-gold project in Australias Northern Territory. Theyve hired experienced geologist Matt McGloin and discovered a surface gossan with copper and sulphide minerals. Three diamond and one reverse circulation drill hole have been completed, with samples now being tested. Previous work yielded promising results, including a 128-meter intercept with 0.6% copper and 1% zinc. Seven reverse circulation holes are planned for VT-one, VT-two, and the Main Zone, with new drill pads built for testing strong conductors and chargeability highs. Despite wet season challenges, the team remains optimistic, with more assays and updates on the horizon.

On March 17th, here's the latest out of Sydney. Litchfield Minerals is pushing ahead with drilling at its Unigolabai Copper Zinc gold project in Australia's Northern Territory. The company just hired experienced local geologists, Matt McGloin, a senior exploration geologist to boost its team. McGloin brings over five years with the Northern Territory Geological Survey and seven years on top-end projects with IGO Limited. They've also spotted a surface gossane showing signs of copper and sulfide minerals. On the ground, they finished three diamond drill holes and one reverse circulation hole across key targets like bomb digity and the main zone. One diamond hole went down 800 meters of bomb digity while another tested a magnetic feature in the main zone. Samples from these holes are now headed to the lab for assay results. Earlier work turned up solid hits, including a standout 128 meter intercept with 0.6 percent copper and 1 percent. Zinc from just 23 meters down, that included higher grade zones up to 29 meters with even better numbers plus silver.

Induced polarization surveys mapped promising chargeability trends over five kilometers, linking major electromagnetic targets. Looking ahead, Lichfield plans seven reverse circulation holes next at VT1, VT2 and the main zone. They build six new drill paths to test strong conductors up to 3,000 semen in chargeability highs. A rig is lined up, though timing depends on access. What season rains have slowed things with boggy tracks and road closures, but the team says field progress stays strong. More assays are coming soon, keeping Unigolabi on the radar for fresh updates as they chase extensions and big geophysical targets. This DNA story comes to you thanks to our sponsor.
