The S&P/ASX 200 (ASX:XJO) was down about 0.06% at 9,123.90 at 12:19 pm over the same period. Odessa is a mineral explorer with its Lyndon and Lockier Range projects in Western Australia. On 29 October 2026, the company announced its quarterly activities report for the period ended 30 September 2026.

 

Program of Work Approval

Odessa said approval of the Program of Work for the Lyndon Project represents a key step toward the commencement of its maiden air-core drilling program. Drill planning and preparation are progressing across priority Lyndon targets.

 

Lyndon Project Targets

The Lyndon Project covers more than 661 square kilometres of exploration licences and applications, on the Margin of the Carnarvon Basin. The company said the project is prospective for lithium pegmatites, uranium, rare earth elements, intrusive nickel-copper-platinum group elements, orogenic gold and sediment-hosted copper-lead-zinc. Technical work is ongoing to review geochemical datasets across Lyndon and Lockier Range to identify high-priority first-pass drill targets.

 

SC West Project in Bolivia

After the quarter ended, Odessa secured the SC West Project, which the company describes as a district-scale land position in the San Cristóbal district of south-western Bolivia. The project is near one of the world’s largest silver-zinc-lead mines.

 

Project Acquisition Strategy

The company said it continues to advance its project acquisition strategy and is evaluating high-quality opportunities that could materially increase the scale and value of its portfolio.

 

Cash Position

Odessa reported cash of A$2.96 million at 30 September 2026, which the company said positions it to advance exploration at SC West, Lyndon and Lockier Range.

 

Sector Context

Early-stage explorers rely on a mix of targeting work, drilling approvals and project acquisition to build their portfolios. Multi-commodity exploration companies are often valued on the number and quality of their targets, and small-cap shares can move on news of new projects or approvals.

 

Key Risks

Odessa’s maiden drilling program has not yet started, and the Lyndon targets remain subject to technical review. The SC West Project is in an international jurisdiction, which carries additional regulatory and operating considerations. Cash of A$2.96 million will need to support multiple projects, and further funding is likely to be required.

 

What to Watch Ahead

Investors will be looking for the commencement of the maiden air-core drilling program at Lyndon, the identification of first-pass drill targets and any further project acquisitions. The company’s next Quarterly Report will show progress on exploration and spending.

 

Final Word

Odessa Minerals’ trading session on 11 November 2026 came as the company moved toward drilling at Lyndon and extended its portfolio with the SC West Project. Drilling results and funding will shape the next stage.
