Heavy Rare Earths Limited (ASX:HRE) has received heritage clearance at its Radium Hill Uranium, Rare Earth and Scandium Project in South Australia following a cultural heritage survey completed with the Wilyakali Native Title Aboriginal Corporation on 12–14 October, with the company also disclosing it has submitted its Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation (PEPR) to South Australia's Department for Energy and Mining.

Key Points

Cultural heritage survey completed 12–14 October with the Wilyakali Native Title Aboriginal Corporation at Radium Hill
PEPR, including a radiation management plan, submitted to South Australia's Department for Energy and Mining and progressing through the approval process
Surface polymetallic mineralisation identified over an 8km interpreted prospective corridor, with assays up to 0.36% U₃O₈, 1.26% TREO, 2,236ppm Y₂O₃, and 959ppm Sc₂O₃
Maiden Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program being planned to target shallow mineralisation along the Bonython Critical Minerals Corridor

Heritage Survey and PEPR Submission at Radium Hill

The cultural heritage survey at Radium Hill was conducted over three days from 12 to 14 October, with representatives of the Wilyakali Native Title Aboriginal Corporation working alongside HRE's team, an anthropologist, and an archaeologist. Following completion of the survey, HRE submitted its PEPR — which includes a radiation management plan — to South Australia's Department for Energy and Mining. According to the filing, the company has received initial feedback and is working with the department to progress the application.

Maiden RC Drill Program Targeting the Bonython Critical Minerals Corridor

HRE disclosed it is planning a maiden RC drilling program targeting the 8km Bonython Critical Minerals Corridor at Radium Hill. The program will consist of a series of shallow RC drill holes targeting high-grade uranium, rare earth and scandium mineralisation close to surface. The filing states drill planning is in its final stages, targeting known structural corridors of vein-hosted mineralisation as well as interpreted prospective areas beneath cover, building on airborne geophysics and surface sampling programs previously conducted by the company. Historical drilling completed in the 1950s measured uranium anomalism via downhole gamma probes but did not undergo chemical assaying for a complete set of critical minerals.

Radium Hill Project Location and Surface Mineralisation Results

The Radium Hill project is located on the southern margin of the Curnamona Province, 90 kilometres southwest of Broken Hill. The project sits immediately along strike from and adjacent to the historic Radium Hill Mine, which produced 1.9 million pounds at 1,170ppm U₃O₈ between 1954 and 1961, as well as 135 kilograms of scandium oxide. Surface samples collected by the company along the corridor have returned assays including up to 959ppm Sc₂O₃, up to 2,236ppm Y₂O₃, and up to 3,597ppm U₃O₈. Railway Prospect, located 100 metres along strike from the Radium Hill mine, returned 0.36% U₃O₈, 253ppm Sc₂O₃, and 1.26% TREO.
