Other Projects

Shoobridge Lithium Project
Northern Territory
100% CXO owned

Core acquired the Shoobridge Lithium Project in April 2022. Shoobridge is located about 80km south-southeast of Finniss near Darwin in the Northern Territory. The Project is located in Pine Creek Orogen and lies within the Tipperary pegmatite district, including the Shoobridge pegmatite field and the Plateau Point pegmatite field. Shoobridge pegmatites are considered analogous to those in the Bynoe pegmatite district and complementary to Core’s lithium portfolio. Core will be the first company to explore and drill these prospective, potentially lithium-rich pegmatite systems for lithium mineralisation.

Anningie and Barrow Creek Lithium Projects  
Northern Territory  
100% CXO owned 

Core’s Anningie and Barrow Creek Lithium Projects encompass five exploration licences covering approximately 2,000km2 in and around the Anningie and Barrow Creek Tin Tantalum Pegmatite fields in the north Arunta Region of the NT, which are considered highly prospective for lithium. Core have completed reconnaissance exploration to date, confirming the lithium potential of these pegmatite fields.  

SA Zinc Projects  
South Australia  
100% CXO owned  

Core’s Yerelina Zinc Project covers a total area of 500km2 in northern South Australia. The Yerelina Project has the potential to host large stratiform deposits in association with the known calcareous and reef limestone host facies within the Tapley Hill Formation. Historically, high grade silver-lead-zinc mineralisation was mined, but no systematic modern exploration had been undertaken prior to Core’s involvement. Core’s previous drilling at the Great Gladstone and Big Hill Prospects intersected mineralised carbonate-sulfide breccias, pointing towards discovery of a new sediment hosted zinc system.  

 Core’s Mt Freeling Base Metals Project is a northern extension to the Yerelina Project in Northern South Australia, covering three tenements over 1,000km2. The Project hosts a geological setting similar to that of Yerelina, but includes Upper Adelaidean and Cambrian sequences. The area also holds numerous historic base metals workings and prospects; however, very little historical base metals exploration has been undertaken as the focus on the area has predominately been on uranium, manganese and diamonds.  

Jervois Domain Project  
Northern Territory  
100% CXO owned   

Core’s Jervois Domain project covers three exploration licences in the central Northern Territory. Drilling from previous reporting periods confirmed the 20km Big-J target zone has the geology, geophysics and indications of near-surface copper mineralisation consistent with KGL Resources’ neighbouring Jervois Copper Project on a larger exploration scale.

Blueys and inkheart Lead/Silver Project  
Northern Territory  
100% CXO owned  

Core’s Blueys and Inkheart Lead/Silver Project sits within the Bitter Springs Formation and covers five exploration licences in the central Northern Territory. The mineralised zones at Inkheart are open to the north east, at depth and potentially to the south west. The near-surface silver and lead mineralisation at the Blueys Silver Prospect is believed to be enhanced by supergene processes with the majority of high-grade mineralisation at the base of oxidation of the Bitter Spring Formation sediments. Core believes there is potential for further mineralisation over a much larger area within the target Bitter Springs Formation geology. This reinforces the tenement-wide and regional potential of the Bitter Springs Formation for the discovery of economic precious and base-metal deposits.  

Bynoe Gold Project  
Northern Territory  
100% CXO owned  

 The Bynoe Gold Project is located within Core’s flagship Finniss Lithium Project in the Northern Territory. Numerous gold targets been generated from early-stage exploration activities and Core believes it is well positioned in terms of tenure, easy access, local expertise and gold prospectivity to progress the gold exploration potential at both the Bynoe and nearby Adelaide River Gold projects.   

Gold-focused activities completed since the start of 2021 have included increasing the number of samples in the Finniss Project’s geochemical database by over 25,600. Interpretation of the results suggest that the gold mineralisation at Finniss is of a style closely comparable with that seen at gold deposits in the Pine Creek Orogen, a gold district with past production and current reserves totaling in excess of 18 million ounces.  

Fitton Uranium Project  
South Australia  
100% CXO owned  

Core’s 100% owned Fitton Project is located in a proven world-class uranium mining region, 500km north of Adelaide in South Australia and is located within 25km of three uranium mines – Beverley, Beverly North and Four Mile. As previously reported, Core has made an outstanding discovery of shallow, high-grade uranium.  

Napperby Uranium Project  
Northern Territory  
100% CXO owned 

 Napperby is an advanced uranium project in the central Northern Territory with an Inferred Mineral Resource comprises 9.54Mt at 382ppm U3O8 for 8.03Mlb of contained U3O8 at 200ppm – U3O8 cut-off. Only a quarter of the known mineralised area defined by Uranerz in the 1980’s at Napperby has been drilled to sufficient density to estimate a Mineral Resource. The larger mineralised area (25km x 5km) surrounding, and adjacent to, the deposit has strong potential to be converted to a Mineral Resource.
