MetalsGrove Mining Limited announced that a pre-drilling detailed surface mapping program is underway at the Company's Bruce Rare Earth Prospect in the Northern Territory. MetalsGrove has identified a broad conductor along strike from the Plenty River mine which is adjacent to magnetic features interpreted to be components of the pegmatite intrusion. The broad conductor has not been tested to date.

Surface field mapping and sampling is underway to identify and refine additional drill targets for testing during the planned drilling program scheduled to commence after completion of the current surface field mapping. This drilling program will be designed to test the bedrock conductor and historical pegmatite mines in Q4. Bruce Rare Earth Prospect Summary: The Bruce Rare Earth prospect is located within the Central Desert Region of the Northern Territory and covers an area of approximately 17,722 ha.

Significant rare earth occurrences have been found in the Harts Range and Plenty River mica fields within the Irindina Province. Joklik (1955), and Daly and Dyson (1956), provided details of the mica mines and documented numerous minerals associated with the host pegmatites. MetalsGrove is currently exploring pegmatite, breccia, vein and alteration-hosted rare earth mineralisation at Bruce.

Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) completed the geological study in the Arunta and identified numerous pegmatites hosting rare earth occurrences including the Plenty River mica mine area. The nearest historical mine is the inactive Harts Range garnet mine (approximately 80 km to the west-southwest), while the Molyhil tungsten- molybdenum project (Thor Mining PLC) is approximately 10 km and copper-silver project (KGL Resources) 75 km to the northeast.
