Clara Resources Australia Limited (ASX:C7A) has released an updated version of its 3 November 2026 company update on the expanded LiDAR survey at the Mareeba Gold Project in Far North Queensland, with the revised filing including a JORC Code Table 1 that was omitted from the original release.

Key Points

  • The 6 November 2026 filing corrects the 3 November 2026 release by appending the previously missing JORC Code Table 1 covering the LiDAR survey.
  • The expanded LiDAR and orthoimagery survey covers approximately 403 km² of the company's granted tenure and exploration licence applications along approximately 41 km of the Kingsborough Fault corridor.
  • The survey was flown between 9 and 13 August 2026 at a flying height of 1,000 m over 75 flight runs with 60% side overlap, achieving a point density of 20 points per square metre across 99.8% of the survey area.
  • The new dataset supersedes the original March 2026 survey, which covered 39 km² at approximately 8 points per square metre, more than doubling the point density over that area.

JORC Table 1 Addendum to 3 November 2026 Release

Clara Resources disclosed that its 3 November 2026 company update, which advised completion of the LiDAR survey at the Mareeba Gold Project, did not include a JORC Code Table 1 covering the survey. The 6 November 2026 filing attaches that table to bring the release into compliance with reporting requirements. The filing states the updated announcement has been approved for release by the Company Secretary. No other changes to the substance of the original release were disclosed.

Survey Acquisition and Technical Specifications

The expanded airborne LiDAR and orthoimagery survey was conducted by Mangoesmapping Pty Ltd, the same contractor that flew the original March 2026 survey. Flying took place between 9 and 13 August 2026 at 1,000 m altitude across 75 flight runs with 60% side overlap. The specified point density of 20 points per square metre was achieved across 99.8% of the survey area. Orthoimagery was captured at a 10 cm ground sample distance over the same five-day period. Deliverables include a ground classified LiDAR point cloud, a 1 m digital terrain model, a 1 m digital surface model, 0.5 m contours, and 10 cm orthophotography in 1 km tiles, all referenced to GDA94, Map Grid of Australia Zone 55, with elevations to the Australian Height Datum.

Dataset Integration and Next Steps at Mareeba Gold Project

According to the filing, the new terrain model has been loaded into the company's Hodgkinson database, which holds historic workings, drilling records, and geochemistry data for the Mareeba Gold Project. The company disclosed that the original March 2026 survey area, covering 39 km², was reflown at higher density, with the new dataset superseding the earlier data to produce one consistent terrain model along the Kingsborough Fault corridor. The company stated that next steps include a systematic review of the expanded terrain model and orthoimagery for surface features consistent with historical workings, and integration of LiDAR interpretation with historic soil and stream sediment geochemistry data.
